COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Bank of England weekly return, made up
to the 10th inst, is of a more favourable character
than was generally anticipated. The diminution
in the other securities and the addition to the reserve
of notes are nearly equal, and shows that commerce
still labours under considerable depression. The bul-
lion, notwithstanding the withdrawals of specie for
the continent, exhibits a slight augmentation. The
public deposits have considerably increased owing
to the active collection of the revenue ; the private
deposits have decreased, and in the active circula-
tion there is a falling off of about half a million.
The various items in the balance-sheet and the
changes they present are shown in the following
table :

Owing to the withdrawal. for export to France,
it was expected in some quarters that the bullion
would have exhibited a slight decline ; but it
appears that, in addition to the accumulation
through Australian and other supplies, there
is a steady influx of coin. Yesterday about
100,00 W. was taken out of the Bank ; but,
as several vessels are overdue from the
Antipodes, it is thought that the deficiAncy thus
occasioned will be SOOII replaced.
The Continental exchanges yesterday afternoon
underwent no particular alteration.
The inspectors of the estate of Messrs. Harmann
Cox, and Co., have announced a first dividend of
4s. in the pound. A similar payment has been
decided upon by Messrs. Rehder and Boldemann.
These firms suspended during the crisis.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, and prices continued to decline. The sales
were estimated at 3,000 bales, 500 of which were
taken by the speculators and exporters.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about 861,6231., and the exports 177,3381.,
exclusive of the following shipments direct from
London to the Continent during the week ending
Thursday last :
Gold Coin. Boulogne ... 4,145 Oza.

There is little inquiry for money to-day, and the
terms continue very easy.
The funds opened with an improved appearance
ovring to the settlement of the misunderstanding
between this country and France. A rise of k per
cent. took place, but this has not been maintained, .
owing to a few sales in speculative account.
Consols have been 96; 97 for money, and
97 to 971 for account. They have since been
96 and 96i 97 respectively. The Funds are now
firmer again, at the former quotations. The New

and Exchequer Bills, 38a. prem. The Bonds are
