THE SUN,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL rsEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO 7 HREE.
It is very satisfactory to note, in reference to tin
Bank of England statement for the week ending Satur-
day last, that a pause seems to have occurred in the ab
straction of bullion, and if we might draw an inferenci
from the passive attitude of the Bank directors in keep
ing the rate of discount at the previous comparative!)
low range, we should be inclined to surmise that the
next statement published will be equally satisfactory it.
this respect. The demand upon the establishment for
discount accommodation is obviously not increasing, ant'
the mode in which bullion has been withdrawn is by a
reduction of the private balances, probably those of
bankers who have, about harvest time, to provide
more specie for their agricultural customers.
and of capitalists who can make a profit by send-
ing silver abroad,
since, at Han:thurgh, for example,
it is still in much request. Corn operations
it is reasonable to infer have had no great influence yet
whatever they may have. It is satisfactory. to see tin
Government deposits rising. The exact variations corn
pared with the previous week were as follows:—

The amount of the precious metals exported direct
from London this week has been 177,000 ounces, and of
gold coin 15,506 ounces.
The only arrival to-day is from New York. The
steamer United States, brings accounts of the sth inst.
The slaves in Cuba were again in a state of insurrection,
but the Danish islands are quiet. The money market at
New York was still rather tight. In a statement of
commerce of New York for the month of July, it
is shown that the total was 2.932,749 dollars, including,
however, 744,983 dollars in specie. To Great Britain
the exports were 1,100,434 dollars ; to France only
27,480 dollars; and a large proportion of the remaining
sum to the British colonies. The trade of Boston also
exhibits a falling off, the revenue from Customs being as
follows :-
1847. 1848.
First Quarter dolls. 1,045,338 43 dolls. 1,300,683 37
Second Quarter

dolls. 2,464,159 52 dolls. 2,41b,439 54
This shows a decrease in the first six months of 1848, of
48,720 dolls. 2c. Both of these periods were under the same
tariff; consequently there was but very little difference in
the average rate of duty. The number of foreign arrivals
for the six months in 1818 was 1,292, against 1,025 for
the corresponding period in 1847, showing an increase in this
year of 267, notwithstanding the falling off in the amount of
duties. _ _ _

There are accounts from Rio de Janeiro by a ship of
war, but we find nothing of particular interest in them.
The continued prevalence of wet weather keeps down
the value of the Funds, which otherwise might have
rallied upon the more favourable Bank statement.
The condition of affairs at Paris is likewise calculated to
excite a little uneasiness, and the promised explanations
in Parliament about the position of Ireland in the mat•
ter of food will be looked for with great interest. Con-
