COMMERCIAL INTEUTGENCE.
CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Bank of England weekly return of liabilities
and assets, made up to the 12th inst., is again of
au unfavourable character. The bullion, conse-
quent upon the late withdrawals, has decreased
to the extent of about half a million, while the
reserve of notes has been trenched upon to a
rather large amount. In the other securities
there is a slight decline. In the Government
Securities there is a falling off of abut
three quarters of a million consequent upon the
payment of the Exchequer Bonds lately due.
The public deposits show a very important de-
cline, viz., about one million and three quarters,
and the private deposits have increased about three
quarters of a million sterling. In the other items
of the balance-sheet there is little change of im-
portance, and they will b 3 seen in the subjoined
table.

The amount of gold taken out of the Ba*k yes-
terday was limited, viz., 10,0001., and it is ex-
pected that the least turn in the Paris Exchange
would arrest the effl6x. At present a moderate
profit is derivable from the export of gold
and shyer coin. Meanwhile the supplies
of the precious metals from Australia and
elsewhere continue on a fair scale, and will at
all events, diminish the withdrawals from the
Bank. The overdue vessels from Australia are
now arriving, and the Duncan Dunbar may now be
added to those reported yesterday. This vessel
brings a limited quantity of specie, viz ,
,9681., but
two or three others are daily expected, which are
known to hAve a much larger supply.
In the Continental exchanges yesterday there
was no material alteration.

Silver continues at about previous rates.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, and prices of all descriptions were well
maintained.. The sales wore estimated at 8,000
bales, 2,000 of which were taken on speculation
and for export-.
The Funds aro firm but the transactions are of a
very limited description. Of course the nature of
the Parliamentary proceedings checks speculation,
and the anxiety caused by Mr. Cardwell's motion
diverts attention from the returns issued by the
Banks of France and England. The former is
favourable, and the latter somewhat unsatisfactory.
The variation in prices has been very limited.

declined 10s. ; Great Indian Peninsular ss. ; and

London and County have advanced ss. ; and Colo-
nial B ink declined ss. Crystal Palace shares were
a shade firmer.
