MONEY MARKET AND C;ITY NEWS.

• CITY, Two o'CtocK.
'The traffic on most of the principal railways of
the country continues to improve, and the share
market is firmer in consequence. At this time last
Year, with which the comparison is made, however,
the American panic had already checked the manu-
facture of goods for the United States markets, and
the pressure being felt throughout the United King-
dom, the earnings of the various railway companies
were seriously diminished. Henceforward the
Weekly returns will no doubt exhibit a progressive
amelioration, if the advices from India, China, Aus-
.tralia, and America now report an increased de•
mand for Tnglish merchandise; and the recovery
on all branches of business is not likely to be
retarded by any new political or financial compli-
cations.

The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to
this day, are in round figures as under :-
1858. 1857.

• The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and prices continued to decline. The sales
amounted to 8,000 bales. On the Stock Exchange
only a very limited business was transacted in
'''''ilway Shares, and quotations were without any
alteration.
At the Public Sales of Foreign and Colonial
1601, to commence this evening, it is expected that
about 45,000 bales will be offered. The series will
be opened by Messrs. Southey and Sons, who will
'ter 2,465 bales, including 1,006 bales of Cape
wool.

The effect produced upon the money market by
tile arrangements for the 4th of the month has not
been very important, bat the rates continue to
exhibit increased firmness, although they still
l'an3e from a I to I per cent. under the Bank mini.
11111111. It appears that a large amount of paper
will have to be liquidated to-morrow, but the plen-
tiful supply
of money at the command of bankers
and brokers will prevent any temporary absorp-
tion that may be required for that purpose, from
stimulating any material advance in the charge for
accommodation. During the month, however, a
loans
sum has to be paid in connection, with
and railways, which, together with the in-
creasing. demand on • commercial account, usual
to wards the end of the year, may ultimately lead
to enhanced rates.
Pending the continued absence of vessels from
Australia,
, a
la auk f' further withdrawal of gold from the
n. England .has taken place. The amount
sent away yesterday was nearly £170,000, and it is
c.lpetted that a further efflux will yet be expe-
ilenced The return from the Bank of England on
Flla xt will, no doubt, show a small diminu-
tion in ' •bullion, but a temporary movement of
that kind ' f little importance, when the stock of
N5,..0
the precious metals is at an elevated point like the
present.

At a meeting of the Vauxhall Bridge Company
t°-(l°Y, a dividend of 12s. per share was agreed to,
for the half year, being rather less than the amount
distributed at the last meeting.
The Directors of the Bank of England have
Separated, without making any alteration in their
discount regulations. This announcement was
fully anticipated, owing to the increasing demand
for money and the efflux of gold.
The English Stock Market was seriously de.
Pressed yesterday afternoon, and at the commence-
ment of business this morning further indications
of weakness were apparent. The quotations are now
rather•firmer, but the fall has not been recovered,
rlem the market is kept in an unfavourable condi-
by the apprehension created among speculators
through the withdrawal of gold from the Bank,

clined to wit _74 for money and the 10th inst., and
