MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Yesterday was generally kept as a holidcy in the
Liverpool Cotton market, but there was, however, some
business done, amounting to about 1,000 bales at pre-
vious rates.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done
at steady prices.
We have a weekly return from the Bank of England,
made up to Saturday last, which may be deemed of an
extraordinary character. On Wednesday it was stated
under this head that .he bullion would probably show
an increase of 400,000/., but when the accounts were
further made up, the sum was nearer 500,000/. The
result is that the Bank has more specie than was ever
before known. Its discount business stills falls off, how-
ever, and the note circulation is thrown back by the in-
creasing deposits for Government account. Compared
with the previous week the changes are as follow:

The rates for Foreign Bills, dated 90 days, were ge •
nerally steady yesterday afternoon, being 25 37} to 40
on Paris, 11 18 to 181 on Amsterdam, 13 91 to 10i o❑
llamburgh, and 1201 to on Frankfort. Trieste was
lower. _ _ .

The following communication has been received by
the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, from
Mr. Lord, dated "La Guayra, 26th November, 1851,"
apprising them of the strong representation he had
made to the Venezuelan Finance Minister with regard
to the irregularity in the last remittance of 7,0001., and
at the same time urging again the sending of the amount
still wanting to make up the dividend of last October.
The following is a translation of the Minister's answer
to Mr. Lord's application:—
Caracas, 24th Nov. 1851.
"Sir,—ln answer to your communication of the Bth
inst., his Excelleney, the President, desires me to say
for the information of those gentlemen whose interests you
represent, that orders will immediately be given for the
funds sent by this Government since July, 1850, to be
transferred to the parties named by you (namely, the
provisional commission appointed by the Venezuelan Go-
vernment, and consisting of James Milligan, Esq., the
Venezuelan consul, Baron de Goldsmid, and John
Diston Puwles, Dq.), and that the sum still wanting to
make up the entire amount of the dividends for the
present year, to be remitted the soonest possible. I
must likewise beg to add that the cause for so long de-
laying the transfer of said funds has arisen from the
Government having toad it iu contemplation to appoint a
sts cial agent for the payment of the dividends to the
parties interested, and for entering into arrangements in
respect to the entire foreign debt of Venezuela. But as
this appointment has not as yet been made, the Govern-
ment has not deliberated an instant in complying with
your request.
" I beg to assure you, on the part of this Government,
that the most earnest desire exists religiously to fulfil
the engagements of the State to the full extent of the
provision assigned in the present budget.

(Sigued) " P. C. GELLINEAU."
The exports of Bullion during the week, to Thursday
last, from London, comprise 317 ounces of gold coin to
Havre and Rotterdam. The silver shipments amounted
to 251,400 ounces to Rotterdam, Hamburgh, &c.
The business done in the Manchester and Leeds mar•
kets this week has been very fair.
The English Stock Market is particularly firm, and
the large increase in the amount of .Bullion held by the
Bank of England has caused an advance in the quota-
tions to 971 for Consols, the present value being 97i 8.
Exchequer bills have touched 51s. to 555. premium.
