ON_EY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The engageMents .due on the 4th of the month
having been provided for, the demand for money
has slightly abated, although the market still pre-
sents a firm and active appear rnce. When the
excitement occasioned by the failures in the leather
trade has subsided, and the half-yearly dividends
are released, it is probable that an easier tone will
prevail; but it is generally imagined that the quo-
tations during the next few weeks will be steadily
maintained.

About £42,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of
England yesterday.
The directors of the Bank of British North
America have announced a dividend for the half
year at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, payable

Meetings have been convened of the National Dis-
count Company, and of the Mercantile Discount
Company, to receive the directors' reports and to
declare a dividend.

Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yes-
terday was rather active, and prices were steadily
supported. The sales were estimated at 10,000.

were to a fair extent, and quotations remained &tn.
The annual report of the Peel River Land
and Universal Company has been issued, from
which it appears there is an available balance for
1859 of £14,500, and being added to the sum of
£4,804 165., proceeds of the sale of wethers, will
enable the directors to propose a dividend of 5
per cent., thereby absorbing £lB,OOO. The un-
appropriated balance is to be carried forward.
A meeting has just been held of the Rever-
sionary Interest Society, when the report was
adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 42 per cent.
per annum was declared.

Business in the market for Public Securities con-
inues very quiet, and the Funds on the whole have
been well maintaiw.d, Consols being 93f, 1. The

Treasury Chambers, July 2, 1860.

THE NEW RUSSIAN STATE BANK.—The statutes
of the new Russian State Bank have just been officially
published in St. Petersburg. The capital is fixed at 15
million roubles (about £2,500,000), assigned by the State,
and the profits are to be applied partly to the redemption
of the five per cent. bank .notes, and of the loans of the
credit establishments to the Treasury. and partly to the
accumulation, in the first instance, of a reserve of 3,000,000
roubles. In case of losses exceeding this reserve,
the original capital is not to be trenched upon, but
the deficiency is to be covered from the finances of the
empire. Provisions are introduced enacting that neither
private deposits nor the capital and reserve of the bank can
be employed in the general expenditure of the State. The
bank both at the head office and its branches will keep the
Government account. Its principal duties will be the
redemption of the paper money, as mentioned above,
the liquidation of the deposits in the old credit
establishments, and the general mananagement of
the note circulation. The Government guarantee
the bank against having to draw upon its deposits
or capital to fulfil the above obligations by the deposits of a
regulated amount in Treasury bonds, which may in case of
necessity be disposed of in the open market. With the lia-
bilities of the old establishments the bank will also receive
their assets. The general operations of the bank will be
discounting, the purchase or sale of the precious metals,
and the usual business of a bank. Minute rules are
laid down for the carrying on of the" latter. The
administration will consist of a Governor and Deputy
and six directors, nominated by the State, under the audit
of three delegates ; two to be elected by the Council of the
credit establishments, and one by the President of the
Council.
It is reported that news has arrived via
Panama and the United States to the effect that the colony
of New South Wales has granted £75,000 as a subsidy to
an English line of steamers to run from Australia to Pa-,
nama ; also that the British Government have agreed to
take possession of the Feejee Islands.
