CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
A further sum of L 20,000, in gold, was with-
drawn from the Bank of England yesterday.
The foreign exchanges' yesterday afternoon
exhibited a slight advance in the rate on St.
Petersburg.
Increased quietude was apparent in the Liver-
pool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were
tolerably well supported. The sales were only
8,000 bales.

A meeting of the shareholders in the London
Discount Company has been convened for the pur-
pose of considering the expediency of winding up
the concern. Its position is not unsatisfactory,
although -upon the liquidation a loss of perhaps ss.
on each £5 share may be incurred, but there is a
want of confidence not only on the part of some of
the proprietors, but also among a portion of the
directors, and it is consequently expected that a
dissolution will take place. _ _

The uncertainty felt with regard to the proceed-
ings of the Bank Court, to-morrow, appears to have
augmented the demand for money, and also to haVe
created greater firmness in the rates of discount,
but the market presents no change of importance.
Although an advance to 41per cent. has begin gene-
rally discussed, it is yet extremely doubtful whe-
ther the directors will take immediate action,
because the drain of gold has moderated, and there
is an absence of pressure and stringency in the
Money Market.

Very little fluctuation has taken place in the
English Stock Market to-day, but a firmer tone
has prevailed, notwithstanding lower prices from
Paris. The speculators have effected a few pur-
chases, and the prices are a shade higher, Consols
being 93 to 93j- for money, and 93 for De-
cember. The New Three per Cents. and the Re-
duced are flat at 917-4 2 ; Bank Stock is firmer at
232 and 233 ; India Loan remains at 1031 ; and
Exchequer Bills are at 3s. dis. to par.
About an average amount of business is recorded
in Foreign Securities, and prices show little alte-
ration. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701 to 711 ;
ditto New, 571 to 571; Brazilian 41 per Cents. are
firmer, at 884; Portuguese, at 451; Russian 4-L- per
Cents., at 944 ; ditto 3 per Cents., at 624 y ; and
Spanish at 49 -1-; but Sardinian are flat at 851, and
Equador at 121.
Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 1-1- 2 prem.;
Thames and Mersey, / prem.; and the Universal,
Prem.
