CITY INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 taken
for export and on speculation. The market closed
steadily. Railway shares were firmer.

The statement of the Bank of England for the
week to October 8 is not so interesting as former
returns have of late been, but on this account pre-
cisely, it is the more satisfactory, the changes
having been less important. The repayment of
loans made during the " shutting " of the transfer
books, and the running off of bills, had caused a
diminution of other securities, but this caused no
increase in the assets of the Bank, as parties
seemed to have lessened their balances, in order
to meet the payments. Duties, likewise, would
be falling due about this time. The Government
account had sligitly increased. The circulation
was steady, and there was a larger reserve of notes
and coin. The Australian gold that has been com-
ing in will have conduced to this, but as the foreign
exchanges are declining, and grain is arriving more
freely, the renewal of bullion shipments to the con-
tinent is to be anticipated. There will, on the
other hand, be steady receipts of gold from Aus-
tralia. Compared with the previous week, the
changes are as follows :

Active circulation £22,840,565

There was a retrograde movement again yester-
day aftErnoon in the rates for bills of exchange
drawn hire upon the continental cities. Paris, 90
days, was taken at 25, 32i to 35 ; Hamburgh, at
13, 6 tc 7 ; Amsterdam, at 11, 18-i to 2 ; Frank-
fort, at 120 to ; and Trieste, at 11, 16 to 20.
The amount of gold exported from London in
the week to Thursday last was 24,727 ounces, and
of silver 81,156 ounces, all to the continent.
The Bank of France monthly return shows a de-
crease of 72,000,000 francs in the bullion, compared
with the previous statement.
The funds have been firmer this morning, with
a limited business doing. Consols have been quoted
921 to for transfer, and 91 to 921 for account.

Bonds 3s. discount. The New 3k per Cents. have

The Gold Mine Shares have been supported,

The Shares of the Land Companies have been
steady, but those of the Banks are rather duller.

DEATH OF CHARLES BARING WALL, ESQ., M.P.—
This gentleman, one of the members for tine city of Sa-
lisbury, expired yesterday morning at this residence,
Norman Court, Hants. The hon. gentleman had been
ill for a considerable time, and therefore him decease was
not altogether unexpected. The hon. gentleman was
formerly a Tory of the old school, and opposed the se-
cond reading of the Reform Bill in 1832 ; but shortly
afterwards, upon the aocession to power of the adminis-
tration of the late Sir Robert Peel, he changed his opi-
nions and became a liberal. He was um-married, and
the whole of his vast estates will descend, we under-
stand, to a young nephew. His death cai tses a vacancy
in the representation of Salisbury ; and it is rumoured
thatiE. Antrobus, Esq., son of Sir Edw:ard Antrobus,
Bart., will offer himself as a candidate in behalf of the
liberal interest.

A DAY MAIL TO PLYMOUTH,—The important ques-
tion of a day mail to Plymouth is at press nt exciting
much interest in the locality concerned. A memorial
to the Postmaster-General from the inhalAtants of the
towns of Plymouth, Devonport, and Storiehouse is in
course of preparation ; no doubt it will be numerously
signed, and it is hoped that it may prove effectual. It
is suggesfed that thePost•office should avail themselves
o ithe express train from London, whicdi. leaves Pad-

enough for the delivery and reply by the following
y
morning up train. This arrangement would be a matter
of very great convenience to the three towns and neigh
bourhood, and seems of such easy accomplishment that
it is difficult to believe that the applicabtion will not be
Successful.

BRAZILS AND RIVER PLATE.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY.

The Brazilian mail has arrived by the Tay. Her
latest dates are—Buenos Ayres, Sept. 1 ; Rio de
Janeiro, 14 ; Pernambuco, 22 ; Vincent's, 30, and
Lisbon, Oct. 10.

The Tay brings 68 passengers ; specie and jewel-
lery to the amount of 6,5321.; besides a usual cargo
of cochineal, ipecac uanha, tapioca, &c.
At Buenos Ayres, business had once more a fair
start. The accounts from the rural districts con-
tinued pacific and perfectly satisfactory.
It was reported that Lagos and a few others had
received orders to quit the Rosario.
The treaty of Urquiza with the Ministers of
France, England, and the United States, virtually
depriving the province of Buenos Ayres of its Le-
gislature, and recognising possession of the island
of Martin Garcia, as a guarantee for the free navi-
gation of the rivers Parana and Uruguay, had just
been published. The Government of Buenos Ayres
had protested against the right of Urquiza to enter
into such arrangements, and triumphantly de-
nounced the illegality and informality of the whole
proceedings.

Bills on England were 665. per doubloon ; highest
rate of exchange, 665. 6d. per oz.
At Rio business was dull. Exchange realised
on English bills from 60 to 90 days' date, 28 to
28f ; French, 345 to 355.
At Lisbon all vessels from England were sub;
jetted to quarantine. Exchange on London read
lised 54i for bills at 90 days' date.
With the Peninsular mail the Iberia had been
detained at Gibraltar by quarantine. She was td
leave Lisbon shortly after the departure of the
Tay.

The prospects of the vintage at Lisbon were
much more favourable than was at first expected.

THE CAPE MAILS.

CAPE TOWN, Auc. 6. 1
The long outward voyage of the Propontis, caused
by her having run short of fuel, gives more than a
fortnight's later Cape news. Nothing has occurred
since the departure of the last steamer to check the
activity which prevails in all commercial affairs;
owing to the large continued shipments to Austral
ha ; the amount of business transactions during
the last month or two being unprecedented!
The effect, however, of all this has been an error:
mous rise in the price of all articles of cons-umpl.
tion, notwithstanding an unusually large harvesti
The list of candidates for the Upper House has
swelled to more than twice the required number,
and the greatest exertions are being made by the
various committees over the colony to secure the
return of their particular candidates.

On the frontier the peaceable aspect of affairs
continues uninterrupted, although this happy state
of things will only last until Sandilla receives the
Queen's decision about the forfeited lands ; but
there appears nothing either in the acts or bearing
of the Kafirs to justify such an opinion at present.
The death of Kreli's favourite son has caused
great consternation amongst the whole tribe, and
induced that Chief to put his principal witch-doctor
to death.

The result of the Commission of Inquiry into the
Hottentot rebellion has appeared in a Government
notice.

Sir George Clerk had reached the Sovereignty ;
the greatest alarm is still felt there at the probable
abandonment of that fine territory. The wool it
produced last season was upwards of 2,000 bales,
and that of the present season is likely to exceed
it by 100 per cent.
No intelligence has been received since last mail.
The want of another steamer on the coast is greatly
felt.
