COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLoax.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, without any-material change. The sales
Were estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were
taken for export and on speculation. The Railway
Share Market closed quietly, at a slight decline in
prices.

The Marseilles 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 :

merce, and the advantages offered by Tribunals of
