CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday. The saes were about 4,000 boles, nearly all
to the trade.—The market, for R. Shares was fluc-
tuating, and closed weakly.
The Bank ot England's weakly return, to Saturday
last. is of no particular interes-• The amount of notes
out with the public was smaller, but this is only to a
slight extent, the result of an abridged discount busi-
ness, the amount paid in to the Bank to the credit of the
National Treasury being considerable, and in excess by
431„0001. of the sum withdrawn by private depositors.
The value of money is certainly higher in the City than
it was a week or two since, but as yet the Lombard-
street firms compete successfully with the Bank, in the
vaults ot which specie, in the meantime, is still accumu-
lating. Compared with the previous week, the results
are as follows:

The advices to hand this morning from Leeds, Man-
chester, and the w her principal seats of manufacturing
i,tdustry, notice less activity, and the non-arrival of the
Hibernia, has contributed to the dullness of the Cotton
