COMMERCIAL IbiTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLonstx. t.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday culosed
firmly, without any material change. The sales
were estimated at 6,000 bales, 1,000 on specula- •}4
tron and 500 for export ; comprising 30 Pernatn
and Maranham, at 6d. ; 200 Bahia, 6 7-16 d. : 100
Egyptian, Gid. to Bd. ; 700 Surat, 4d. tw sd. 22
per The Railway Share Market was acitive,
with an improvement in prices.
Act iounts from the Vienna Bourse report a fur- st.
tber improvement in Austrian Securities. Ow the
7th inst. the 5 per Cent. Metallics rose 49- per 50J
cent., to 84i, and the 4i per Cents. were firm at 20
74. Austrian Railway Stocks were in demand at 10
255, arid shares of the New General Bank of Ciredit 50
chanF,ed bands at 385. The Lombardo-Venetian
Itail.way Stock is also in request at 134. Exchamge 74'
on 'London is 10-2, and on Paris 119. St.
Letters from Paris mention that the matter is 6t•
16
spoken of in reliable quarters, of an extraordinary 25
:cession of the Legislative Body being convened
shortly, for the purpose of voting a New Loam of to
300,000,000 f., as being necessary to cover the, re- 3t. ,
maining expenses of the war. Should this be de-
ternained upon by the Imperial Governments, it to
le probable that the funding of Treasury Bomds
will not be resorted to ;at the same time, there is 10
it.
rio doubt that the call for a New Loan will ixend it.
further to depress financial matters in Paris.

This day there was a meeting of the Alliamce
Bank at the London Tavern, at which a statement lt•
was made by the directors. From this it appeared
that since the establishment of the bank, at the
beginning of the year, a nett profit of 6,6261. LOs.
ed. had been made. The statement was receiwed
its satisfactory.
The half-yearly meeting of the Colonial Baulk
was also held this day ; C. Marryat, Esq., in the
chair. The nett profits were 20,8681. Us. 6d., mut
of which the directors recommended a dividend of
24 per cent., being at the rate of 6 per cent. pier
annum. The report was adopted.
• The City of Baltimore, arrived from New York,
• brings $60,000. The mails have not yet been die-
livered in the City.
In the continental exchanges yesterday after-
toon there was continued heaviness, and as goild
is now dearer in Paris than it is here further shill)-
,
nIE:Ws will no doubt be made.

From Paris we learn that a decline occurred Lin
the price`of the kettles yesterday. This unfavour-
able movement is attributed to an increased die-
'nand for money for commercial purposes, and tto
theabsence of most of the principal capitalists amd
°Peculators-who are now taking their usual holidaw.
The English Funds have been dull, and Com-
°Ole have been within a trifling fraction of 95i
all the morning. The improved state of tine
weather has produced increased firmness, butt
the dealings have not been very numerous.
Consols opened at 95i /, then rose to 95/
and haie since ruled at the former quotation,
teeth for special transfer and to-morrow. Tine

nal rates. Exc.lequer Bills have been 165., 175.,

Railway shares are generally steady, but the;
transactions are not numerous. Caledonian, Great
Western, and South-Western, however, have
slightly declined. Most of the others are at am
advance, or maintain previous values. The Frenclii`

importance. The Riga shares continue to improves,

prem., and Ceylons 1 / prem.
