MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, WIARTER TO THREE

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
steady. Sales 6,000 to 8,000 bales. In Railaay Shares
there was but little doing, and the market was tolerably
firm. There was no material change.
The Bank of England return for the week to the 15th
inst. is interesting in many respects. The Govern-
ment account is exceedingly low at a time when the
other deposits are increasing again. The other secu-
rities have decreased as wed as the Government se
curities, but the withdrawal of public deposits for divi-
dend and other payments has caused an ii.creade in the
circulation, and a slight decrease in the bullion :

The more settled state of affairs on the Continent
within the last week or two has caused a little firmness
in the rates of the Foreign Exchanges, buc the plentiful
supply of the precious metals induces constant remit-
tances in that mediuni, as being more facile than that of
paper.

Very satisfactory accounts have come to hand
from the principal manufacturing districts, and there is
a decided increase of activity there. This remark ap-
plies to Scotland as well as England.
The Irish news is considered to be this morning
much more tranquillizing, and the vigorous policy which
Government is about to adopt, strongly backed by Par-
liament and by the sense of the nation, is calculated
to inspire great confidence. Indeed it is impossible
to suppose that this great country, in the plenitude of
its power, and backed by the loyalists of Ireland, can-
not prove equal to the suppression of a partial insur-
rection.

The national balance sheet to July 5, offers no fea-
ture of novelty, being anticipated by the statements of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but it is hoped the next
quarter's return will prove much more satisfactory.
By dint of exaggerated accounts from Ireland, and
alarming statements of a general rot in the potato plant,
the Bears have worked down the funds again. This is
natural. They were in some cases put hors de combat
by the late rapid advance and now seek to get into 'stock
when they will doubtless run up the market
again, should the public wisely look on with
confidence in the resources of the country. Every half per
Cent. fall, seeing that the public sold lately at the highest
prices, and to some extent, will, probably, induce re-
investments; and it is precisely in this way that specu-
lators may be caught while money is so abundant.
