MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW ,t;'.
CITY, QUARTER' TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liver pool yesterday were about
4,000 bales, including SCO American on speculation.
The market was quiet, but firm at previous rates. The
sales cernprised 3,500 American, 250 Pernam and Ma-
ranhani, at 6,11. to 63e1., and 200 Surat at 4ed. to 43d.
per lb.—Railway Shares were flat, and prices had a
downward tendency.
The weekly statement to the Bth inst. of the Bank of
England liabilities and assets is again well worthy of
attentien. The accumulation of assets in nearly every
shape, the steady addition to the public or treasury
account, the fulling cif in circulation, and the accumula-
tion of the precious metals, are all circumstances that
presage an important future in the Money Market,
unless some very unexpected change occurs. The com-
parison of the present with the previous return is as
under :

The Foreign Exchanges were quoted yesterday after-
noon for 90 days' bills as follows:—Paris 25 60 to 62k,
Antwerp 12 2 to 23-, Amsterdam 12 2 to 23, llamburgh
18 13i to t, and Trieste 10 14 to 16. The rate on
Hamburgh was steady as compared with the previous
post-day, but the quotations on the other cities could
scarcely be called so good.
It will have been observed by the last weekly railway
returns that they contrast unfavourably on the whole
with the corresponding period of 1848, the North-
Western, Caledonian, and South-Eastern being instances
to the contrary among what may be termed the great
lines. The Brighton stands well, but is nevertheless a
shade under this time last year, and the South-Eastern,
thanks, no doubt, to its important Chatham branch, in-
creased about 900/, The worst exhibit is that of the
York and Berwick, and of the York and North Midland,
the deficiency upon a much smaller total receipt being
far greater than in the Midland, and competition probably
has much to do with this. The Scotch lines generally
a:e doing pretty well, and the Great Southern and
Western of Ireland has a largely increased taking,
though the opening of fifty-eight additional miles must
be taken into account. The Amiens and Boulogne on
the same mileage took 56/. more.
The exports of the precious metals from London
during the week ending Thursday last, were very :large,
comprising 4,000 ounces of gold, in dust and bars, to
Dunkirk, and 612 to Rotterdam. Also upwards of
360,000 ounces in silver to France, Holland, Belgium,
and the lonian Isles.
The accounts received from Manchester this morning
state that business was good, but at Leeds the market
was dull.
It has been determined by the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to send assistance to the homeward
bound trade detained in the chops of the channel.
The Funds are without any particular alteration this
morning, and not much is doing. Consols 96it to ex
