MONEY and COMMERCIAL, NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO T;;
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was with •
out change. Ssles 4,000 to 5,000 bales, all to the trade.
The sales of the week are 30,940 bales. Stock 373,590
biles, against 539,820 bales at this tine last year.
The bullion in the Bank of England was reduced by a
considerable amount again last week, and the cause no
doubt was the exportation to Ireland, the Continent, &c.
Whether the movement will extend much further,
remains to be seen, and from certain indications may be
reasonably doubted. The drain to Ireland would sub.
side, and there may even be a reaction, provided her
Majesty's Government preserves tranquillity, and re.
stores confidence. The greater abundance of money on
the Continent is another reason for concluding that the
export will now gradually diminish. The Bank will
make its_ profit, and increase its paper circulation a
little. The following is a comparison with the previous
week:—

There was a decline yesterday afternoon in the rates
"or bills of exchange upon the ptincipal continental
cities.
The Continental advice. are of a chequered character
to-day. At Paris the cause of peace and order appears
to be much more promising, but the doubt is as to
whether Ledru Rollin and his party will not make another
effort to maintain his position. The revolution in Mol-
davia and Wallachia, the war between Naples and
Sicily, and the Danish question, are still causes for some
inquietude.
The exports of the precious metals from London
direct to the continent have been- large this week, via.,
152,000 oz. of silver, 6,657 oz. of gold, besides specie
and bullion in other forms.
Monday being observed as a holiday at the Bank of
England, there is a disposition to arrange accounts in
the Consol Market. The prices have risen foe transfer
to 821 and for time to 824 t. Bank Stock is worth

a-Quarter per Cents. have been 811 to 821. Exchequer-
