COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday continued very heavy, and prices
of American declined fully id. per lb. The sales
were estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,500 of which were
taken by the exporters. The Railway Share
Market closed quietly, and quotations ttnded down-
wards.

The amount of gold taken out of the Bank yes-
terday was not important, viz., about 11,0001.
The Norfolk has arrived from Australia with
330,280/. Some of the other vessels known to be
°II their way from the colonies will, no doubt, soon
Make their appearance, and although a portion of
the specie they convey will probably be taken for
the Continent, the remainder will be likely to find
its way into the Bank vaults. The next weekly
return from that establishment is expected to show
rather a large falling off in the item of bullion some
large withdrawals having taken place. The prin-
cipal part of the amount thus diverted will be ap-
plied to the purchase of silver, a large quantity of
Which is required for exportation to the East.
There is still an active demand for discount ac-
commodation, and until the payments of the 4th
of the month are provided for there is a probability
of its being fully maintained. The terms still range
from. 2i per cent., but it is only the best descrip-
tions of bills that are negotiated at that rate. Al-
though there may be greater activity in the open
Market, the applications at the Bank of England
co. Winne moderate, and there is consequently no
immediate prospect of any alteration in the mini-
nlinn quotation.

Meeting of the proprietors of the National
Provincial Bank of England took place to-day,
'I. F. Laurie, Esq., in the chair, to confirm the re-
Bolution of the former meeting for increasing the
remuneration of the directors, which having been
done, the meeting adjourned.

The market for the English Funds has been
rather depressed to-day. After manifesting rather
more firmness, the quotations gave way on the
Pressure of a few sales, and the decline
amounted to nearly 4 per cent. The speculators,
although evidently disinclined to deal to any
large extent, seem more disposed to operate for a
fall than otherwise. Consols have been 951 buyers,
