COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices tended
,u°lvrtwards. The sales were estimated at 6,000
;ales, 1,000 of which were taken by the specula-
tors, and 500 by the exporters. In the Railway
Share Market only a limited amount of business
Was transacted, and quotations were without alte-
?ldiom

Naylor,
circular has been published by Messrs. Vickers,
ilayler, and Co., iron and steel merchants, of Lon-
don, Liverpool, and New York, announcing that
ewing to the rapid and unexpected realisation of
their assets in the United States they are now
enabled to pay in full all claims and demands.
T
firm, it will be recollected, was one of the first
itv experience the effect of the late panic in Nov.
Wit. Prom the statement of the balance-sheet
„sPrePared at that time the liabilities were eesti-
matedat 364,2871., while the assets amounted to
5e9)934/., showing a surplus of 225,6471. The
private estates also exhibited a surplus of about
3`1,4001, to 40,0001. after every claim thereon had
riusen satisfied. Messrs. Dennistoun, Cross, and
0., auother house who suspended payment about
the same time, have announced their intention of
1343111 g on and after the 31st inst. the instalments
the several accounts due the 31st December, and
011 the Australian accounts due the 31st January
4ext. Thus anticipating three engagements by
heveral months.
About 160,0001. in gold was taken into the
Bank of England yesterday. It will thus be per-
ceived that the tide has turned, and unless a de-
elime in the Paris exchange should lead to a re-
newal of the efflux, the bullion at the Bank of
England may soon receive some further important
lidditions. • There is now a large aggregate amount
Of gold on hand, brought by the vessels recently
announced from Australia, and the 200,0001. con-
veyed by the Parana is expected in town to-morrow.
There is every probability of the chief portion of
,thase supplies being sent into the national esta-
vlishment. Much satisfaction is naturally felt at
the discontinuance of the drain to the Continent,
for notwithstanding the excessive metallic reserves
still held, there is always much anxiety whenever
tile export., by any sudden movement, exceed the
imports. The remittances to India continue
Matted, and the Colombo, which will leave South-
kepton to-morrow, will only take out 136,6771.,

In consequence of Epsom Races, the attendance
of
I:1 dealers in the Railway Share Market to-day has
7.211 extremely limited, and the variations in
vtleea have been unimportant. Eastern Counties
andl Great Westerns have improved 55., and North
Midland
10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire and
7idland declined 10s. The Foreign and Colonial
lines have been very inactive, and at almost nominal
quotations. East Indian have declined about ss.
In Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares the
little
have been unimportant, and prices exhibit
nttle
alteration.
