Tile sales of Cotton at Llverpoul yescerday wero
7,000 to 8,000 bales. The market maintained its im-
proved tone, and closed at full rates.—Railway Shares
were dull, and prices had a downward tendency.

The amount of bullion sent to India ar,d Alexandria
had not been brought into the Bank cf Englaud account
to tilt. 15.11 inst., Fuppo,,ing it to bsixe been taken direct
from that establi hment, but there is the circumstance to
be considered that it way not shipped until Wednesday
or Thursday, and may therefore come into the balance-
sheet of the present week. Moreover, the quantity of specie
received from abroad, end chiefly from America, has pro-
bably met the demand for Holland, &c., even allowing
that gold is not returned to us immediately for our ship
ments to that country. The large addition to the public
deposit account, with some augmentation of the private
balances, caused a contraction of the note circulation,
and there could have been very little extra demand for
money, as the amount of the other securities was but
slightly augmented. Compared with the preceding
week, the changes in the various items are as follow:—

There was no decline in the rates at which bills of
exchange were yesterday afternoon negotiated upon
the principal cities of the continent, taken in comparison
with the quotations of the previous post day.
Anything that advances the pre spect of obtaining a
Tribunal of Commerce deserves notice; and it is satis-
factory to perceive that the proceedings which took
place here on Wednesday are exciting attention even at
a distance from the metropolis. The Scotch, as prac-
tical and shrewd men, are ever foremost to promote re-
form, and Mr. Francis Lyne, tile originator of the
movement, has received encouragin g letters from Glas-
gow, whither the account of Wednesday's meeting was
telegraphed.
The amount of the precious metals exported from
London direct during the week en ding Thursday last
was 314 oz. in gold, and 296,744 oz. in silver, of
which latter 8,500 oz. went to Chine„ and the rest to the
continent.
The letters received this morning from Manchester
report a more active business in piece goods. At Leeds
also there was greater activity.
The Funds, as was to be expected, have suffered from
the resignation of the Ministers. A state of political
uncertainty or agitation is always tunfs,vourable to the
market value, temporarily at least, of Public Securities.
Consols fell once this morning to 958, for Money, but
have not been lower than 96 for account. The New
Tbree•and-a•Quarter per Cents. were marked 988 •
and the Three per Cents. 96i to Bank Stock was
supported at 2151, and India St cnk at 265 to 266.
Exchequer-bills were 465. to 495. premium, and India
Bonds 575. to 635. premium.

Foreign Securities have been fluctuating more on ac-
count of the depression in our own Funds. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been marked 194 and the Three
per Cents. 37,i. Portuguese Four per Cents. have real-
ised 32i to 4. Mexican Bonds, OWN. being done at 324,
have rallied to 334. Buenos Ayres are 54 to I. and
Brazilian New 924 to 93. Russian Four-and a-Halt
per Cents. have been quoted 964 to 9,7 i, and Dutch Four
per Cents. 91i.
Railway Shares have been flatter, and there is a
general decline, though not of serious amount. Much
less business is doing, and the reaction is attributable to
the heaviness of Consols.
