There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday.

ing no change. '

India, China, &c., will take out £120,578, Viz.,

vernment remit £30,000 to Mauritius of the above
amount.

The Vanderbilt from New York has been an-
nounced this morning with £161,000 in specie.
There is rather a larger supply of commercial
bills, but the market remains without the slightest
change of importance, owing to the abundance of
money and the moderato terms upon which the
discounters are willing to grant accommodation.
On the Stock Exchange loans are still negotiable
at 2 to 2 per cent., and the Bank directors at pre-
sent, therefore, have not yet been able to enter into
extensive loan transactions, their charge being 4 per
cent, for the same accommodation.
The creditors of Messrs. Walter Howell and Co.,
distillers, have beeß called together this afternoon
to consider the position of the firm, whose affairs

the assets do not represent more than 6s. Bd. in the
pound, and that the liabilities are about £40,000.
The unfavourable position of the estate prevented
the introduction of new capital, no one with ade-
quate means being disposed to join the concern.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
moderate amount of business was recorded, at about
previous rates. The sales were estimated at 8,000
bales.
