The Cotten Market at Liverpool yesterday was active
sad firm. Sales 8,000 bales, and for the week 51,330
•all - Shares were well supported, and there was a fair
demand. Prices advanced in many instances, a limited
business being done owing to the indisposition to sell.
The statement of the liabilities and assets of the
Bank of England during the week ending the Bth inst.,
presents greater changes than any return of late given.
The official payments customary at this period of the
year have diminished materially the sum of the Govern-
ment balance, while the receipt of dividends has led to a
great, augmentation of other deposits. The loans of the
upon bills of exchange have remained almost sta-
tionary, while the sum of the Government securities is
materially augmented. The circulation of notes is from
the Government payments increased to the extent of
ever three-quarters of a million sterling.

The quieter state of affairs abroad begin to " tell"
upon the rates of the foreign exchanges, which are now
generally lower. Still this is a return to a healthier
state of things which cannot but prove satisfactory, even
should it check the influx of bullion here.
We subjoin a comparison of the rates:—

The quantity of gold coin exported this week from
London has been 1,600 ounces, and of silver about
544,000 ounces.
There are various arrivals to-day from different
stuarters, including the Cape of Good Hope, Australia,
the Mauritius, &c., but the dates are not later.
Fresh difficulties have arisen concerning the sugar
duties, the classification of the standard being found
too low, and an effort is now making to obtain an
alteration.
The Public Securities have been affected by the lassi-
tude usually succeeding the settlement of a heavy ac-
count, and the quotations are lower, although one or
two more Bears have again proved defaulters. The
amounts generally are not heavy, and unlike commer-
cial suspensions they are of no interest to the public at
large. Consols have been 874 for money, and 874 4 for
account. Exchequer-bills have advanced to 455. and
495. premium. Bank Stock is 194 to 195. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 871 to 884.
The Foreign investments are nominal. Spanish Three
per Cents. are 214 to 22. Spanish Five per Cents. are
11} to 12. Dutch Four per Cents. are 71.
IShares are very firm.
