CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The return from the Bank of England for the
week ending 27th inst. is of a rather satisfactory
character. In the bullion there is a slight dimi-
nution:consequent upon the non-arrival of remit-
tances from Australia, and the increased demand
which has arisen for the Continent. In the
reserve of notes there is a slight augmentation,
and the other securities still continue at a rather
large amount, notwithstanding the minimum rate
still remains at 3 per cent. The public deposits
show an increase of over half a million, but this is
in some measure balanced by- the decrease in the
private deposits ; the instalments on the late
Indian Loan and payments on revenue account
fully accounting for these changes. The active circu-
lation has been diminished by about a quarter of a
Million, and in the Government securities there is
40 alteration. The other items of the balance
sheet exhibit little variation of importance, and

ii, -me Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
eavilY, and prices were unaltered. Thesales were
estimated at 6,000 bales.
About £50,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
hank of England yesterday for the Continent,
where it is required to purchase silver on eastern
account. This circumstance, coupled with the de-
clining, tendency of the exchanges, shows that the
wrectors were warranted in refraining from a pre-
eiPitate course of action with reg9l4 to the rate of
iiscount. I

The demand for money continues very quiet.
Even at the low rates current in Lombard-street,
tile number of bills offered for negotiation is
limited. Next week the payments of the 4th may
give a temporary stimulus to the inquiry, although
it is understood the engagements which will then
arrive at maturity are comparatively small. Large
811PPlies of gold are shortly expected from Victoria
athild ether places, which may assist in preserving
e "Wing easiness and cause a renewed accumu-
lati- - -

on of bullion in the Bank of England vaults.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been
about £165,300, and the exports £60,600,
exclusive of the following shipments direct from
,
Continent during the week ending Thursday

10p;
and Blum, 500. Silver coin : Boulogne,
3,000 oz. SO` firs : Hamburg, 780 oz. ; Rotter-
datn, 2,800.
The Market for English Securities is exceedingly
"14 and increased heaviness is exhibited by the
closing quotations. This unfavourable
change can only be attributed to the decline in the
Zehanges, and the withdrawal of gold• from the
