MONEY MARKET

CITY, 'go o'CLocs
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, without any mater ;al change. The sales
were estimated at 7,00°J bales, 1,000 of which were
taken for export a`ad on speculation. The Railway
Share Mar/;,et, closed quietly, at a slight &elite in
prices.
The 3qarseilles portion of the overland mail has
been delivered this morning. Trade at Melbourne
is described as being steady, but business with the
diggings was checked by the bad state of the roads.
The production of gold was satisfactory.
The Bank of England Return, for the week end-
ing the 27th ult., is very unfavourable, and some
surprise is expressed at the rate of discount not
having been raised last week instead of on Wed-
nesday. The reserve of notes, and the Stock of
bullion have been sensibly reduced, while the other
securities show a material addition. The next
balance-sheet will, no doubt, be much worse, as
large sums have been taken from the Bank for
shipment almost daily, while the applications for
discounts have, of course, been to an enormous
amount. The following exhibits the results of the
present statement :

Lyne in the chair—when Mr. Hutton read the
paper intended to have been read at the Congress
for Commercial Reform assembled at Brussels,
but referred to a sub-committee on account of the
pressure of business before the Congress. The
Paper read pointed out the evils attending com-
merce, and the advantages offered by Tribunals of
Commerce as established in France.
Arrangements are still in progress for the re-
sumption of the business, under a new title, of the
