MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS •

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were nearly 5,600 bales.
The market was quiet, and prices unchanged.—The Share
Market was much depressed, and lower prices have been
submitted to.

The number of Shares actually sold at the auction of Messrs.
Lamond's yesterday afternoon was 1,560, and among a good as-
semblage of buyers more purchasers were observable. A slight im-
provement in prices occurred, but the Irish shares are still very un-
saleable:—Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, 10s.—Buckinghamshire,
11. 35. 6d.—Midland and Eastern Counties, 13s. 6d.— Sheffield,

The West Indian mail is now about due, and the merchants
connected with the trade are most anxious for the letters.
As matters, according to the last accounts, were settling
down, a large increase of business is calculated upon as a
certainty. The measures taken to facilitate the com-
munication by steam vessels along the coast of the
Soitthern Pacific must, in time, be of vast ad-
vantage in increasing British influence in that direction,
and with it of course the augmentation of our trade. The
Governments of Chili, Peru, and Mexico, have most cor-
dially entered into the plans for
_the establishment of a
regular interchange of mails on the seaboard, and we hear
that Mr. Wheelwright, who first set the project on foot for a
line of steamers to act in conjunction with the West India
snail steamers, has again left this country in order to carry
out the great and important plans originated by him to faci-
litate the rapid conveyance of advices and passengers be-
tween Great Britain and the whole of the South American
Republics.
The Bank returns for the present week give the following

results :
An increase of 4,7701. in the circulation, or to 27,269,245.
An increase in the Rest of 9,962/., or to 3,789,971/.
An increase in the Public Deposits of 254,203/., or to
7,319,6251.
A decrease in other Deposits of 252,275/., or to 17,103,928/.
An increase in other Securities to 22,181,3921.
A decrease in the Notes in Banking Department of
349,7951., or to 7,683,6901.
The Bullion has amounted to 13,987,535/., being an increase
of 22,8381. in the week.
The value of the Consols has been firm at 9614 %, both
for Money and the Account. Scarcely a dozen bargains have
been entered into this morning. Exchequer-bills have been

sold at 255. and at 28s. premium.
This has been a blank day, or nearly so, in the Foreign
Stock Market ; Mexicans have fallen from 32 to 31%; the
Portuguese Three per Cents. have reached 5712, the Spanish
Three per Cents. have been bought at 361 for the Account;
and the Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. at 59%.
The Railway Share market, upon the whole, cannot be
said to be firm this morning, and business is still very slack
for Stock as well as for Scrip.
