lONEY MARKET.

The general money market, which a few days
ago exhibited so much firmness and activity, has
alrcady relapsed into a cpmparatively quiet state,
and the rates show a slight relaxation. First class
bills and also loans on Government securities can
be negotiated on easier terms, and a greater dispo-
sition is evinced by the banks and discount firms to
employ their resources at the current prices.
The amount of gold taken into the Bank yester-
day was .£34,000.

The Giant's Causeway, with £49,000, and the
Marion Moore, with £33,000, have arrived from
Australia. The City of Washington, from New
York, has brought £46,000 in specie.

The Pera, which leaves to-morrow for India,
China, &c., will take out £104,972.
The bar silver by the West India steamer La
Plata has been sold at ss. Id. per oz.
A dividend at the rate of 31- per cent. is recom-
mended by the directors of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada, leaving £21,507 to be carried over.
There was a moderate inquiry for cotton in the
Liverpool market yesterdey, and prices were
slightly firmer. The sales were about 5,000 bales.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
th.is day, are in round figures as under :

anc.l woollen manufactures. A decrease is, how-

Yarn, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and
