MONEY and COMMURCIAL NEWS

CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were
estimated at 10,000 bales, of which about two-thirds
were taken for export and on speculation. The market
closed firmly.—Railway shares were flat at lower prices.
The great feature in the Bank of England return,
made up to last Saturday, is the large increase in the
amount of bullion, the total now being only about
700,0001. under tb:, note circulation. This extraordinary
addition is a proof of the vast accumulation of the pre-
cious metal in this country, and looking at the other
items of the Bank account, we do not find that discounts
have increased, but rather that purchases of Govern-
ment securities have had to be made to employ the
assets of the corporation. Compared with last week, the
changes are as follow:

to men of business, Lawson's Merchant's Magazine, we
find Some excellent suggestions for a reform of the qua-
rantine laws, a subject that has always excited diffe-
rence of opinion, but upon which much sounder views
are now entertained. The information given upon all
matters bearing upon trade during the month must prove
very useful to men of business.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
pany have just held their meeting, and a dividend at
the rate of 4 per cent. for the half-year to March 31

T Fig INTER-COLONIAL PACKET SERVICE.—The
Royal West India Mail Stearn-packet Company intend to
rar2e3 acme cf their old fleet for the inter• colonial packet
service. The Clyde is now in the Southampton gravirg
dock, undergoing the process of being cut down. The razeed
ships will be faster and much better adapted for the inter-
colonial service than they are at present.
