MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week his b•en
rather fluctuiting, but closed yesterday much the same
as previously. The supply has been larger. The
quantity taken on speculation has been about 10,000
bales. Railway Shares were brisk yesterday, and rather
a large business was done at fuller rates.
All the alterations—and they are important—whit•h
app 'ar in the subjoined weekly return to the 13th inst.
of the Bank of England, are referable to the Govern-
ment payments at the commencement of the quarter.
The business done by the Bank had by no means in-
creased, money being obtainable elsewhere:—

The news by the Overland Mail is considered good,
and the mercantile accounts are favourabi", although
the 24th of October letters from London had rather de-
pressed the produce markets.
The quantity of bullion received from abroad con-
tinues large. Every private ship from distant parts
seems to bring a little, and the exports of silver to the
Continent are much less than they were. About 10,000
oz. have been sent this week to Belgium, but this is a
small amount compared to what was sent away a few
weeks since on account of the loan to the Bank

Cape of Good Hope papers of Dec. 2, being a week
lab r than those received yesterday, have come to hand.
They furnish no later news from the frontier, and, as
before, the convict question engrossed almost exclusive
attention.
The Continental papers bring no news off' prominent
interest. The Money Markets abroad continue easy.

quite so good. The other lines are generally at about
previous rates.
