CITY, Two o'CLooE.
The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed
steadily. The sales were B,OOJ bales, including.
2,000 for export, and on speculation. The Rail-
way Share Market closed firmly, and some of the
leading lines have advanced to a slight degree.
Accounts from the wool market at Breslau, of
the 29th August, state the animation exhibited at
the beginning of the month had continued up to

that time, during which about 3,000 quintals were

sold in the market ; and this might have been
greater had there been a sufficient quantity of
'certain kinds of wool to meet the wants of the
;manufacturers. The principal buyers were manu-
!acturers and merchants from Saxony and the
Rhine, and agents from other places. The prices
✓ ealised were as follows :—Silesian 95 rtti. to 112
d itto per quintal ; yearling ditto 98 to 100
✓ ix thalers ; Sterbling 83 to 103 ditto ; long
taple in grease 75 to 80, and Hungarian 55 to 57
d itto per quintal. The prices generally were much
t he same as at previous sales, and holders of stock
bad no difficulty in selling. Up to the close of the
ionth there had been no wool of the present clip
• !ceived from Russia, but a supply was expected
le aortly. The accounts from the Paris wool market
likewise report some degree of activity, as has been
cperienced during the previous few.weeks, and
pi ices continued firm. This firmness appears to
b..: general throughout the continental markets.
The Bank of England Return, which is completed
fo r the week ending the 30th ult., exhibits some
unfavourable features. A material addition has
'been made to the amount of private securities, and
"the rest has slightly diminished ; but these changes
nay be partly ascribed to the demand for money
t e meet the last instalment paid on the New
Loan, and the preparations effected for the
commercial arrangements of the 4th instant.
Tlie proceeds of the instalment referred
to, were handed over to the Bank of Eng-
land ; hence the augmentation of the public depo-
sits. Money continues in active request, and the
brokers and capitalists find full employment for
their money at full rates ; consequently, the next
iteturn is not likely to show any sensible ameliora-
tion. The bullion, owing to the continued ab-
sitraction of gold for transmission to the Continent,
has still further slightly declined.

It is expected that the affairs of the Royal
British Bank will be arranged by the shareholders
SW depositors without an appeal to the Courts of
Chancery or Bankruptcy, which would only cause
unnecessary delay and expense. The views of the
depositors, expressed at the meeting last night,
bill, it is thought, be met, as far as practicable, by
kost of the shareholders, who, up to the present
time, have shown every disposition to bring matters
to as favourable a termination as possible, notwith-
standing the heavy losses which they will inevit-
ably sustain.
The market for public securities has been rather
unfavourably affected by the discouraging Bank of
England Returr, above analysed, but the prices of
the Funds have not been depressed more than
Per cent. Consols have been 94i to 95, and 94i
to 95 for money and the 10th inst. For October
they have been 95, 1. The transfer books are
40W closed for Bank Stock an 1 the Reduced An-
nuities, but the latter were called 95g. The New
Threes are 95g I. Exchequer Bills are firm at 15s.
to 16s. prem.
Not more then half-a-dozen securities in the Fo-
reign Market have attracted business, but prices
have ruled firm. Turkish Small Bunds have been
1931, Dutch 4 per Cents. 98k, Sardinian 911 Rus-
sian 5 per Cents. 109 k, and Brazilian 1021 103.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
stocks ••—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7i ; Mexican,
s22i ; Peruvian, 80 2 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 9 ;
'ortugueso 3 per Cents., 45i 6 ; Russian 5 per
Cents., 108 9 ; ditto 41 per Cents., ; Spa-
-4141 3 per Cents., 44i- 5/ ; ditto New Deferred,
25 ; ditto Passive, 6 7.
Railway Shares have been dull, and, with the
eleeption of Great Westerns, which are higher,
lower prices are current. The foreign and colonial
descriptions were generally at previous rates. Nor-
thern of France, however, have declined to 40,
°wing to the losses sustained by the reported em-
bezzlement of 40,0001. by two of the company's
Principal officials. Rigas are 11; prem.
Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous shares are
heavy.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.--The reaction in the mining
market has been very rapid and great, whilst the demand
I'4 good dividend mines increases daily, and prices are
recovering from the fall occasioned by the temporary
'iecline in copper. South Frances shares have advanced
t° 365, ex div., hnd are in request. Mary Ann shares
.4,4ve reached 37 to 38 ; Basset, 290 to 300 ; Buller,
50 to 300 ; North Basset, in which a large business
1461 h," been transacted, 366 ; West Basset, 30 to 31 ;
.trewetha, 3 ; Gonamena, 26 to 281 ; Devon Consols,
405. In Grenville, large purchases have been made,
et 28s. to 31s. ; in addition to ore coming into
fPe shafts at Newton Moor, the cross cut in the 70
t/
level north, from the south mine, appears to
une approaching a lode. Trevelya,n, 6 ; Wheal Wrey,

The
FOR THE GREAT EASTERN STEAM SHIP.—
'ue huge forgings for the gigantic steamer Great Eas--
;‘,,n, at present building at Black wall, were yesterday
the
to their destination. These forgings, made by
"4° Lancefield Forge Company, were described in the
lyMail some months ago, and since that time they have
have
Lancefihld, the company being unable to obtain
"ntshipmaster willing to undertake the very serious rink
r,"' Conveying them to the Thames. When lying at the
1.4.114 Y, yesterday, every one that psied stopped and
rdat the unwieldy but finely-finished blocks of iron,
rd seemed perfectly amazed at their immense size. It
mere
creditable to the Lancefieid Company that they
t e the only parties in the kingdom who would under-
„...amithe manufacture of these, the largest forgings in the
orid. Now that they have been shipped with-
out accident, it is to be hoped they will reach Black-
pafety.—Nortl4 Daily Mad.
