London, England, 1856-07-19 00:00:00

The Lirespool Cetton Market, yesterday closed
buoyant, and prices of all kinds were much the
same as previously. The sales were estimated at
8,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed
firmly, without any material change in prices.
Accounts from Alexandria to the Bth instant
state that the Bank of Egypt, formed in London,
are about to commence operations. The Circular
issued by them to the mercantile community men-
tions that they possess no special privilege which
would be contrary to the treaty. It is also said
that a new company has started to solicit a conces-
sion for towing vessels on the Nile. The Commis-
sion of Consuls-General charged with preparing
the code of regulations for the mixed tribunal on
commercial affairs in Egypt hav3 already met
many times. The work before them presents many
difficulties, but the consular body is able to over-
come them. The matters pending between that
t Tribunal and the Government had there terminated
s atisfactorily before the departure of the President,
w'ho had left for Europe. Mr. Bruce, the English
C onsul-general, gets the credit of this, as it was a
question which his predecessor, Mr. Murray, had
edieited without success from the Government
dui ing the viceroyalty of Abbas Pacha.
The suspension of Messrs. Marzetti and Sons,
mer chants and underwriters, was announced yes-
terday, and the event is much regretted, since the
firm occupied a good position and had very exten-
sive connections. Nothing definite is yet known
With regard to the liabilities or assets, but it is pre-
sumed that a good dividend will be realised.
The Bank of England return, completed for the
week ending the 12th inst., is exceedingly unfa-
vourable, and has therefore excited considerable
attention. In the bullion there is a material falling
off, and the next statement is likely to show a fur-
ther diminution, since it is now ascertained that
the whole of the gold brought by the Fran-
sis Hardy and the Earl of Sefton has been
Pcirchased for remittance to the continent. Many
or the alterations are produced by causes which
usually occur, however, at this period of the year,
Ruch as the payment of the dividends, and the in-
creased demand for gold for agricultural purp—o7e7:
It is evident that the Government has been corn-
Pelled to raise money on deficiency bills to pay the
Consols and other securities. The return is con-
sidered very unsatisfactory, but many of the re-
sults it exhibits were fully anticipated.
