COMMERCIAL REMARKS.

COTTON.—We hear that the price has declined a few
mace per pecul, occasioned by some of the holders showing
an impatience to effect sales.
OPIUM.—The price of Patna, within the last few days,
has been on the advance ; 570 drs. has been to-day de-
manded, but we have not heard that any sales had been
made at that price. There has been some inquiries fur
Benares, and yesterday several small sales were made at
545 drs. per chest. Malwa remains without any variation ;
the transactions of the past week have been few. No im-
provement in Turkey. The deliveries to the 16th instant,
were—
Patna, old 15, new 176
Benares, old 5, new 19 24
Malwa. . 250

465 chests.

The importation of opium, per Mermaid, is only ten
chests of Patna. Gold has become more plentiful, and
may be purchased at 23 dollars per tad.
Syzee silver has also become abundant, but there are few
purchasers, there being no vessel advertised for India. Teas
continue on the advance.

An English vessel from Batavia has been entirely lost

THE FUNDS.

Again the Cortes Bondholders and speculators in the
above Stock have been disappointed, as they expected some
important information from Madrid this morning respecting
the decision of the Committee appointed to report in the
said Bonds.

Perhaps, during the course of the day, an express may
arrive from Paris with another confused telegraphic despatch
from Madrid, on the subject of the 27th or 28th ult., from
that capital, at which period, no doubt, the C.oinmittee will
have made their report, as money must be had at any price.
Now, taking it for granted that the Spanish Government
obtain a loan of four millions sterling, after paying Mr.
Rothschild the commission on the loan, their military ex-
penses, arrears, civil list, and the price they give for the
loan, we apprehend they will not have a sufficiency left to
go on for two months ; when they will require a fresh loan
to pay the dividends on the former.
Consols opened as they left off at, 91i 4 for the Account,
with little or nothing doing as yet.

CENTRAL BANK.—For some time back we have been
silent respecting the proceedings and prospects of the Central
Bank. We are now happy in stating that every difficulty
which stood in the way of its successful establishment has
been overcome, and that it will commence transacting busi-
ness early in November. The number of shares subscribed
now amount to twelve, above the whole capital stock.
We had a report in the morning of an express from
Madrid ; to the present hour we cannot confirm it.
In consequence of the above being circulated, Spanish
Stock improved 1 per cent., from 57+ to 581 ; at present
it is 57i to 58k. It is now attributed to orders being re-
ceived from France to purchase Spanish, as the brokers
here demand 15 per cent. deposit before they will purchase
in the Spanish market. Portuguese, 87t
Consols have been the whole of the morning at 91i
for the Account, with little doing. We hear that an emi-
nent stockbroker in the city is going to give a grand dinner
this day to some of the city capitalists, as well as to the
agent of the young Queen of Portugal. The above gentle-
man is forming a list for the Spanish Loan ; therefore we
apprehend that it will soon be filled.
We hear of some more failures in the wool trade on the
Continent.
