AN D
001111IEROTAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices were
fully maintained. The sales amounted to 10,000
bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators
and 1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share
Market manifested a very quiet appearance, and
quotations slightly declined.

From the 3Qth ult. to yesterday, the period that
will be embraced in the next Bank of England re-
turn, as much as 275,0001. or 300,0001. in gold has
been drawn from the Bank for remittance to the
Continent. That balance-sheet, so far as the item
of bullion is concerned, is, therefore, likely to ex-
hibit an unfavourable movement ; although,
perhaps, not to the extent of the sum men-
tioned as having been sent away, because it
is very possible that a small quantity of gold coin
may have arrived from the provinces. The delay
in the receipt of Australian supplies has necessi-
tated the bullion dealers to obtain from the
Bank the means required for, commercial
purposes or the purchase of silver on Eastern
account. As the steamers now take out a
very limited quantity of specie to India,
and scarcely any to China, it is obvious that
there is very little necessity for buying the metal
abroad, the amounts received from the West
Indies being almost sufficient. The presumption
therefoie is that the consignments were prin-
cipally in liquidation of mercantile engage-
ments. They will no doubt continue, but
some portion of the remittance 3 from Victoria
must soon arrive, and as upwards of a million
sterling altogether is advised as being en route,
the bulk of which will be due in the next six
weeks or two months, there is every reason to
expect that with such a large importation the
bullion at the Bank will not suffer any serious
declension, provided no new demand for gold
should arise.

In the first six months of the present year the
amount of gold and silver exported from this
Country was 11,037,2001, against 12,906,3901. in the
tune period of 1857, showing a falling off of
1,869,1901. This is owing to the diminished exports
of silver to the East.

The Money Market has again resumed an easy
and quiet appearance. After a brief period of ex-
citement, resulting from the simultaneous payment
of a variety of engagements, the demand has re-
laxed, and the value of accommodation has
descended to 2/ per cent.
The transactions in the market for English Secu-
rities are chiefly connected with the settlement,
And the late advance in prices is not fully supported.
SYmptoms of reaction set in 3 esterday afternoon,
and the market now appears rather uncertain. The
Bank broker has made a purchase of 30,0001. Re-
duced Annuities, but this had little effect upon
quotations. Consols have been 951 / for money,
rd 95al for the August account ; they are now
5 9-16ths, 11-16ths for the latter. The New

DEATH OF ASSISTANT SURGEON DIIMBRECIT, 97TH
REGIIMSIST —Many will observe with regret in to-day's
obituary the decease, at Lucknow, of this promising
young townsman. Although only twenty-four years of
age, be had served through the whole Critnean
campaign, and latterly accompanied General Franks
through the Indian war, and Wit,,
present at the fall of
Luckpow. His professional zeal and hie many persourd good qualities procured him, in no ordinary❑
degree, the
esteem and affee:ion of his brother officera, and the
announcement of his career having been so early cut
short will be received with great pain by many friends in
Scoiland.—Seoisman.

The -Union Bank of Aus' raliallhave agreed with the
Treasury for the loan of 500,000/., guaranteed by the
Imperial Government under an Act of the last session,
for the service of New Zealand, and a considerable por-
tion of the amount is in course of transmission to the
colony. It is understood the directors intend shortly to
offer a large portion of these bonds for public subscrip-
tion, and that they will probably invest their reserve
fund ira the remainder. Both principal and interest being
Z!poured on the Consolidated Fund of the United Kitig-
ip) the bonds will constitute a very desirable security
r Permanent investment. They base 30 years to run
from the date of issue, and bear interest at 4 per cent.,
