MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Night.)
The sales of Cotton in the. Liverpool market yester-
day were 10,000 bales, making 66.160 for the week.
The stock is 495,930 bales, against 765,390 bales at this
time last year. The rise in prices this week has been
about id. per lb. Shares have been dull.
The following are the principal items in the. Bank of

The Bank, therefore, has increased its active circula-
tion by 548,4851., having out 20,403,4251. in notes pay-
able on demand. Its liabilities on account of seven-day
and other bills have also been rather increased, and
there is a large augmentation of private deposits, as is
often the cam after the dividend payments. On the
other hand, it has less bullion and a smaller reserve
of notes, but has obtained a transfer (from
the Savings' Bank Commissioners it is stated) of a
large amount of stock as security for its advances to
Government, which is evidently still heavily drawn upon
by Irelard, besides having had the dividends to pay.
We shall see by next Friday's return how much of the
1,584,3651. of stock thus added to the creditor side of
the Banking account has been sold or lent, and whether
the Bank has received payment to any extent in its own
notes.

realised 861 to 861 for transfer next Tuesday, and 86f

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.
HEALTH OF TOWN'S BILL.

On Saturday the Rev. Dr. Spry took the chair, and
the gem ral parochial business having been disposed of.
Mr. GARRETT, at the head of a numerous depu-
tation, entered the vestry-room with an address from
the parochial committee, which, after complimenting
the vestry upon their oppositien to the Health of Town,'
Bill. called upon them to persevere in that opposition, as
the bill contemplated the subversion of local self govern-
ment, and the introduction of the baneful principles et
centralisation. The addressed recommen 'ed a deputa-
tion to government, a conference of the Metropolitan
parochial Boards, and interviews with the Members
Parliament in ceder to st cure the defeat of the most eb-
j-ctionable and unjustifiable measure that had ever been
proposed.
Mr. G. DANIEL moved the adoption of the address.
and having statistically proved that those portions of
the portions of the parish under the government of the
vestry were better regulated in a sanatory point of view.
and at a cheaper rate, than those under the control of the
Woods and Forests, denoueced the exemption of the
City from the effects of the Bill as a cowardly act, and
denounced the Bill itself as the substitution of nomina-
tion, patronage, and plural voting, tor the representa-
tive and elective principles.—(Hear. hear.)
Sir PETER LAURIE seconded the motion, and said that
the Government would make the Bill a medium for ob-
taining appointments and pensions for their relatives
and friends.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. WILSON analysed and severely criticised the Bill.
Mr. LAURIE, the City Pleader, recommended the
vestry not to let the erroneous opinion of their being
opposed to the objects of the measure go abroad, for
they only found fault with its machinery.
Sir B. HALL, Bart., M.P., promised to give the Bill
his most determined opposition, and although not
authorised to say so, he might. with confidence, state
that the Bill would not be per.evered in during the
present session.—(Hear, hear.) And he was fully satis-
fied that in its present shape it never would pass into
law.—(Hear, hear) He assured the vestry that since
the introduction of the measure so numerous were the
applications to him for his interest to obtain situations
under it, that he had to employ a person to open and
read his letters.—(A laugh.)
Sir CHARLES NAPIER, M.P., also promised to join his
honourable colleague in opposing the Bill. He was con-
vinced that the City of London was exempted from its
provisions lest offence might be given to the electors, and
Lord John Russell should thereby be turned out of the
representation.—(Hear, hear.)
Several other gentlemen havi ex ressed their dis-
ng p
approval of the Bill, the motion
