The saes of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, including 1,000 for exp, rt and
F pvculat io n , without alteration in prices.—Railway
Shares were exceedingly dull, and pricks continued to
decline.

The statements rektive to the abundance of meney,
have become much more general within the last few days,
and there is proof on all sides of their correctness. First-
rate mercantile bills are discounted at 2-1 to 2}- per cent.,
and money upon the security of stock is not worth more
than 1 per cent. We call bat dly expect but that this
should to upon the circulation ut the Bank of England,
and it is agreeable to find, upon reference to the weekly
bala❑ce-sheet made up to the 19th instant, tht.t the pri-
vate deposits are not larger, because we may infer there-
from that parties are investing their surplus assets in
securities which, from the recent depression in price,
and strict investigation, appear to offer some temptation,
or that they :zre enabled to employ a portion thereof in
commercial pursuits. Certain it is, that the business of
the Bank does not at present increase, and that the tem-
porary turn in the bullion tide has reached its limit,
with every probability of flowing steadily towards this
country, while the political affairs continue so unsettled
abroad. The following is a comparison between the
past and the previous week:—

The rates at which bills of exchange on the principal
Continental cities were negotiated yesterday atternoon
were not quite so high in one or two cases, more inch
nation to draw being exhibited, though the want of con-
fidence is still felt as a serious bar. On Paris the terms for
three months' paper were 25 65 to 70, on Trieste 12 12,
but nominal; on Hamburgh, 13 13 to 135; and, on Am-
sterdam 12 2 to 25.
The exports of the precious metals from London
during the week to Thursday last were only 86,000
ounces of ;Aver, all to the Continent, and 250 ounces of
gold coin to Belgium.
There has been an increased business doing to-day in
Public Securities, and the market is more buo) ant, sustain-
ing the improved tone remarked yesterday. Consols have
been 91+ to 5, and now are 91+ Exchequer-bills
continue at 445. to 475. premium, and India Bonds at
71s. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have real.sed 901 to -1.
In the foreign mirket there is not much doing. Mexi-
can have risen, being 305 1, with the Coupons. Chilian
Three per Cents. are 52, and Equador Stock is at 34.
Ressian Bonds have been 1015 to 102, being decicb city
lower than they were a few v, eeks since. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 15/ to 165. Dutch Two-and-a Halt per
Cents. have been 48+ to /.
Railway Shares are heavy again, and generally rather
lower, but there is very little doing. The provincial
markets being depressed, recourse is had more to the
meti opolitau markets, which raquires the support of more
buyers, and these, no doubt, would come ler% ard if there
were greater certainty as to future dividends. We
know that bets are made that shares will
be lower yet, but this only increases the
necessity that holders should keep cool, inves•igate, if
thought desirable; but at least not to yield to undue de-
spondency or play into the hands of interested parties,
by sacrificing their property. Caledonian are heaviest
this morning. The Foreign lines are dull and almost
nominal.
