CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for
export and on speculation. The market was dull, and
the demand limited. Railway shares at rather lower
prices.
In the weekly return of the Bank of England, made
up to the 30th ultimo, the bullion does not show such a
material reduction, partly in consequence, we may pre-
sume, of the arrivals, from Australia having supplied the
amounts needed for shipment to the continent. The
note circulation was curtailed by the repayment of loans
upon securities and the augmention of the public de-
posits. From the private balances there were rather
large withdrawals. Compared with the previous week,
the changes were as follows :

The Banker's Magazine for the current month enters
into the question of the South Sea Company's dis.solu-
ti°oo and deals rather severely with the attempt to pro-
long its existence as a trust company ; but there is cer-
tainly a want of some such incorporated body, if it can
e started under the approbation of the existing South
Bea stockholders, and with due regard to the interests i
of all who may elect to withdraw.
