MONEY MARKET

1, ND
COMMERCIAL INELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
Were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500
American on export and speculation. The market
Was heavy but steady, and closed without altera-
tion in prices. The sales comprised 6,400 Ameri-
can, 630 Pernam and Maranham at Sid. to 6id.,
70 Bahia at 61d., 400 Egyptian at 6d. to 9id.,
100 Surat at 2/d. to 41d., and 30 Sea Island at
ls. sid. to is. Bd. per lb. Railway Shares opened
Weak, but improved towards the close.
The letters by the Overland Mail are not now
expected in London before the 14th instant.

In the Bankers' Circular are some remarks bear-
IN upon the existing Currency Act, which seem
PetuEarly applicable just now, although watching
the progress of the Joint-Stock establishments in
London, the power of the Bank of England for
either good or ill, muse be much smaller than it
Was• The writer observes :

"The production of money has no resemblance to the
production of sugar, tea, or coffee. Different parties
have a various times contended for a monopoly of the
sale of these products, but nobody ever thought of
limiting the production by Act of Parliament. This,
however, is the principle sought to be maintained with
regard to money, and the public are told by the Finance
-Minister, that money like other commodities' must be
regulated by the supply and demand. We believe the
question as to what ought to regulate the supply of money
will soon receive a more general consideration from the
mercantile community; and we areglad to find that Messrs.
'Littledale' of Liverpool, in their last monthly circular,
dated 6th July, have made special reference to the sub-
ject, showing the influence of the present high rate of
interest charged for money upon our trade and com-
igerce. They remark—

" 'And how is this relief to be given ? By simply
allowing an increase in our circulation in something like
'proportion to our increased trade ; but, instead of such
being the case, we gather from the " Bankers' Cir-
cular," that whilst the circulation, in 1844, for England
and Wales reached 31,028,1061., when our exports
were 581 millions, our actual circulation last month
was only 26,865,9491. with exports on a parity
of probably 90 millions ! Now, if mercantile firma were
to increase their engagements and operations in propor-
tion as their means or capital were diminished, it would
scarcely be considered a sound and legitimate mode of
proceeding, yet such appears to be the present position
of the aggregate operations of the country, as tested by
our exports and circulating medium. The attention of
the mercantile body should certainly be turned to these
facts, to be prepared against the renewal of the Bank
Charter next year. If we are to have free trade with
all the world, we must have more capital to work with,
or less restrictions by the action of the Bank.' "
The annual meeting of the Metropolitan and
Provincial Joint-Stock Brewery Company was held
this day, Mr Bintems in the chair. It appeared
from the report that the efforts of the directors in
the past year had been checked by the want
of sufficient capital, and the high price of
the ingredients for the manufacture of genuine
beer. By the raising of more capital, they had no
doubt of ultimately making the company profitable.
The accounts showed the receipts to be 3,9831.
12s. lid., which, after the expenditure, left a.
balance in hand of 1251. 4s. ld. A dividend of 5
per cent, per annum was declared, and the meeting
adjourned.

At a meeting of the subscribers to the Travers
Testimonial Fund, originated to recognise the exer-
tions of Mr. Travers in the promotion of Customs
reform, it was announced that GOO/. to 7001. had
been subscribed, and it was resolved to establish a
lectureship at the London Institution, the money
being invested in the names of trustees. Among
the gentlemen present were Messrs. Crawford,
Gassiott, Dillon, W. J. Hall, and H. L. Keeling.

Although the Chancery and the Bank brokers
have each again been sellers of stock this morning,
the speculators for a fall have been deterred from
operating by the fineness of the weather and the
important intelligence from Vienna of the intended
evacuation of the Danubian Principalities by the
Russian army. There will upon this ground, like-
-wise, be a disposition to invest. Consols have
realised 92a to 93i for Transfer, and 922 to 932 for
the 17th inst., being now 93i to /. Bank Stock
has been firm at 210. Exchequer Bills have
realised is. discount to 2s. premium. The Bonds

In Foreign Securities, there has been very little
beebei4g. The Spanish Committee's Certificate has
nupto 52 in consequence of the following
energetic, but perfectly justifiable note of Lord
/1(lell, and which it is expected will have a
satutary effect :

"Madrid, August 2, 1854.
SIR —ln this new era of justice promised to Spain,
f;"1111143r depend upon those efforts in favour of the Eng-
lish bondholders which you know have never been want-
ag• I cannot allow myself to suppose for an instant that
'veroment which has come into power with the device
,of morality inscribed on its banner will allow so scanda-
lc?os a wrong to be unredressed as the confiscation of the
Coupons. It has been the fashion of all Spanish Ministers
to protest against diplomatic interference in this matter.
I trust I shallhave no occasion to attempt it, and that the
initiative will come honourably and at once from the Duke
of Victoria's Cabinet. Ido not allow myself to suppose
!,!ie contrary, but, should I be deceived, the English pub-
lic will have the remedy practically in its hands, for I do
not hesitate to recommend the whole body of English
c
e.apitalists, great and small, never to have any pecuniary
leilings with this country, in any shape or under any
Folouring, until the questions of the Coupons be satisfac-
torily settled, as a gnrantee for any subsequent payments
hereafter.—l am, sir, your very faithful servant,

A material improvement has occurred in the
value of the English Railway Shares, compared
with the lowest range of yesterday. Great Northern
have been in request at 11. to 21. rise. North-
Western and Great Western have not moved up
much. Midland have been 11. better. York and
North Midland have been supported. Foreign
Shares have been more dealt in, and at fully the
previous rates.

The Mining Market is dull. Joint-Stock Banks
have been at full prices, and with a moderate busi-
ness doing. Australian Agricultural shares are flat,
and in Peel River, Scottish Australian, and Crystal
Palace, there is no improvement.

DEATHS FROM CHOLERA..—lnquests were held yester
day by Mr. Langbam, jun., in the Miikbank Prison,
respecting the deaths of three prisoners—Chas. Tookay,
aged 43 ; James Baker, aged 21 ; and Joseph Johnson,
aged 53. The disease in each case appears to have pro-
gressed rapidly, in spite of the efforts of Mr. G. Attfield,
the resident surgeon. A verdict of " Death from Asiatic
cholera" was given in reference to all the deceased. Mr.
Attfield stated that there were now 25 cases of cholera
in the prison, four of which were serious.

TILE FIRST ATTACK ON POMABSUND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—l observe in a letter from the Valorous, de-
scribing the attack on Bomarsund upon the 21st and 22d
ult, by her Majesty's steamers Hecla, Valorous, and
Odin, that the credit of the signal made by the senior
officer during the action, has been, by implication, ex-
clusively appropriated by the Valorous. In justice to
the officers and men in this ship, and more particularly
to the Senior (who is also gunnery) Lieutenant, Wm.
Mould, to whose unceasing and valuable exertions I am
mainly indebted for the gratification I felt at that mo-
ment. I request you will do me the favour to publish in
the Ames my statement that " Well done" was made by
Captain Hall to the Odin under the circumstances above-
mentioned.--I have the honour to be, sir, your ohedient
servant, FRANCIS SCOTT,
Captain of her Majesty's steamer Odin.
