MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The festivities at Liverpool, yesterday, again caused holi-
day-making in the Cotton and Share Markets.
by the Britannia steamer we have received our usual
files of papers and letters from Canada and the United States.
We are glad to hind that as soon as the intelligence of
the destructive fire at Newfoundland was received, a
meeting of the inhabitants of Quebec was held to receive
subscriptions, and 1,000/. were given to be transmitted im-
meidately. Prompt administration of aid in a case like this
is of course of urgent necessity.
There skins to be a feeling springing up in Canada, that
the new ffiriff of Sir Robert Peel's Ministry will not, after
all, turn out so very dangerous to colonial interests as was at
first supposed. By the way, it ought to have been before
mentioned that 1,000 barrels of flour were immediately or-
dered to be shipped to St. John's, Newfoundland. The Re-
lief Committee for the sufferers by the fires at Quebec
were continuing their operations. The total amount paid up
to the 29th June was 108,7201. Os. 11d. The balance was
5Q,5911. in the treasurer's hands, and 10,0001. 95. 9d. lent out
at interest at 3 per cent. The Committee were authorised to
take steps to affording immediate relief to the extent of
15,000/. The number of vessels that had arrived at Quebec
to the 9th July, inclusive, was, in 1846, 675; tonnage,
247,967. In 1845 the number was 834, of the tonnage of
308,719 tons.
The mercantile accounts from New York are rather of a
mol e favourable character.
The weekly returns of the operations of the Bank of
England, as compared with that of the previous week, shows
the following results:-
An increase in the circulation of 1,730,411/., or to 29,312,9457.
An increase in the Rest of 2,2401, or to 3,508,3781.
An increase in the Public Deposits of 275,706/., or to
3,438,401/.
A decrease' in the other Deposits of 599,632/., or to
14,305,3411.
A decrease in other securities of 798,9901., or to 14,583,407/.
An increase in the amount of the rates in the Banking
Department, of 423,6751., or to 8,562,695/.
An increase in the amount of Bullion, of 86,751/., or to
15,949,427/.
The Consol Markets have been very steady at 9614. For
Money the price has receded a shade, and so have Ex-
chequer-bills, which are now only at Bs. premium. Bank
Stock is at 20914, South-Sea Stock is at 1063,4, and the New

The Foreign Funds are not in much request this morn-
ing, and our bargains have been made in the French Three

The Share Market is decidedly firm this morning.
