CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

There was no business done in C(iton at Liverpool
yesterday.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business
was done.

The close of the financial quarter has occasioned nu-
merous changes in the balance-sheet of tho Bank of
England for the week to the 4th inst. The circulation
was augmented, owing to a withdrawal of deposits and
further advances upon securities, and the imports of
Bullion, notwithstanding the payment of salaries, caused
a slight addition to the stock of the precious metals.
The payment of the dividends bad not commenced.
Compared with the previous week, the alterations are as
follow:

The quotations for Bills of Exchange were supported
very fairly yesterday, but seldom has there been less
done. On Austria the rate advanced again, and the Go-
vernment at Vienna will be a serious loser by its efforts
artificially to operate upon the Exchange. The home
subscribers to the loan have already suffered, while the
foreign applicant has an advantage in being able to re-
mit his share in sterling money above par.
The proceedings at a meeting of the Agra and United
Service Bank shareholders have been transmitted from
India, and show a favourable state of affairs and ap-
parent sound management. The roport of the directors
states :

" In laying before the proprietors the accounts for
the past half-year, the directors have much pleasure in
stating that the funds of the head office and the different
agencies have been well employed during this period,
and that the net divisable balance on the 30th Juno
amounts to Rs. 3,87,932.1-3, equivalent to Rs. 12.3-0
per cent, per annum on the bank's capital, which, after
providing for a dividend at the rate of eight per cent.,
in accordance with the resolution of the general meeting
of the 13th August, 1849, will leave a surplice of Rs.
1,33,332-1-3.
"Itis a source of gratification to the directors that
notwithstanding the late times of difficulty and suspicion,
the amount of the trading capital of the bank has not
diminished, but has, on the contrary, increased—a satis-
factory proof that public confidence in the bank is unim-
paired. _

" Since the last general meeting, the result of the
special audit of the affairs of the Bank as regarded the
head office has been communicated to the shareholders.
An audit of the branches, conducted with similar mi-
nuteness, has just been concluded, and the reports of the
auditors now submitted to the meeting, will, the direc-
tors are confident, bo considered ♦ery satisfactory.
" The directors are now preparing to register the bank
according to the resolution of the general meeting of the
17th Juue, and under the provisions of Act 43, of 1850,
sec. 6, clause 8, it is necessary that auditors be cleated
by the present meeting, to audit tho accounts of the
current half year."

Thero has been dull trade generally in the manufac,
turing districts this week owing to the Queen's visit.

The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 9th inst. was
rather firmer for Dutch Bonds, being 58 1-16 to
Mexican were lower again.
The amount of gold coin exported direct from London
during the week to Thursday last was 430 ounces,
chiefly to llaniburgh, and about 32,000 ounces of silver.
More, however, must have gone from the outports.
The English Funds are weaker this morning, but
there is not much doing. There appears to be great
doubt even now whether the French Ministry can hold
together. Consols have been 961 to 97, and are now

SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRAlo:rlowri
GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.—A most re.— ir`
circumstance in connexion with the lost Arctic 1;1;0.°
has just occurred in the vicinity of this city, 5001/I'
been deemed of so much importance as to lead to ig fr.
vestigation by the Admiralty, which is now be"
ceeded with here.

The circumstances which have led to this ep re
tion, as gathered from the parties who have ,Ica t''!/
witnesses of the occurrence, are briefly these:--`-'640
day last as a lady, living at Wotton-lodge near, te,
was at dinner, she observed a small balloon c'eoo'll
the garden, and sent out the gardener to se° or"
was. The gardener brought it to his mistresl,hecd
proved to be a small balloon filled with gags t° is%
of which was attached a card bearing the follow'

" Erebus 112 W. Long.
" 71 deg. N. Lat.
"September 3d, 1851.

" Blccked
Of course it was, supposed that this was 5, 11,110,t0
joke of some person, and Mrs. Russell, the /5°1,4,--i rt 4
to, took no further notice of it, though next "h", 61,61
casually mentioned it to her friends. Some of tii"ocielp
examining the balloon, thought the matter of is 000
importance to make further inquiries, and, coo"Asioitoto
a communication of the fact was made to the A1,",.7,0 fee
Board, who immediately replied to it by elec‘Volifd,
graph, and requested the balloon to be sent oPbePh,r,
don. This of course was done, and next day, `cer4,
