COM MERCJAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Th.e Bank of England weekly return of liabilities
and assets, completed to the 23d inst., is of a rather
satisfactory character. The private securities show
a slight diminution, and the reserve of notes have
been augmented about 150,0001. The bullion, also,
not withstanding thelate shipments to the continent,
shows a slight augmentation. In the Public De-
posits there is a large increase consequent upon the
active collection of the revenue previous to the
payment of the half-yearly dividends, but the
private deposits show about a similar decline. The
active circulation exhibits a slight decrease. In
other items of the balance-sheet there is little
variation requiring special report. They will be
seen from the subjoined table :

The bullion movements at the Bank of England,
yesterday, were not important. It will be seen
from the above analysis of the weekly balance-sheet
that the accumulation is still going on, Eotwitb-
standing occasional withdrawals on Continental
account. These will, no doubt, continue, and a
large proportion of the Australian receipts will, it
is thought, be absorbed.
In the discount market there is continued acti-
vity. Bankers and others are busily employed,
and, taking advantage of the increased demand,
they are enabled to exact higher rates. At the
same time there is an abundant supply, and as soon
as the engagements now maturing are liquidated
the quotations will probably recede.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday mani-
fested a very firm and rather animated appearanc-,
and prices were fully maintained. The sales were
estimated at 10,000 bales, 3,000 of which were
taken on speculation and for export.
At the meeting of the Worcester and Hereford
Railway Company to-day, Mr. Price, M.P., in
the chair, the bill for an extension of time for
making the above line was assented to unani-
mously; and the bill for approving of tho agree-
ment made between the Newport, Abergavenny,
and Hereford Railway, the Oxford and Worcester,
and the Midland Railway Companies, for working
the Worcester and Hereford Railway, and for other
purposes, was also agreed to unanimously. The
meeting then adjourned.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have been
about 199,9977., and the exports 41,3701., exclusive
of the following shipments direct from London to
the Continent during the week ending Thursday
last :
Gold Coin—Hambro'
SP - Boulogne 4lO
, Bare—Belgium , 4,000
Silver Coin—Hanibro'
—Boulogne 6,700

MessrP. Bristow, Warren, and Co., of Mineini-
lane, have suspended.

The Funds have been firmer to-day by about
per cent. This has been caused by a few purchase.,
but the favourable Bank return, and the expecta-
tion. that the demand for money will soon subside,
have no doubt exercised a beneficial influence.
Consols have been 951 I, and are now only 958-
The New Threes are steady at 95; 96, and the
