COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE o'CLocx.
The Money Market is very fair at previous quo
Cations.

A withdrawal of £60,000 in gold took place at
the Bank of England yesterday.
The Mississippi from New York has arrived with
specie to the amount of about £40,400, and the
Borussia with £15,000.
The following alterations are exhibited in the
return of the Bank of France, when compared with
that of last week :—Au increase has taken place in
the cash in hand of £405,000, in the advances
£28,000, and in the private accounts £BOB,OOO,
while there has been a decrease of £700,000 in the
bills discounted, £580,000 in the Treasury balance,
and £260,000 in the notes.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
remain steady at 32 34, and the Consolidated Mort-
gage Bends at 21 22.
We have seen private letters from Paraguay,
of very recent date, stating that the army
of Marshal Lopez was well provided with every
necessary, and able to carry on the war for
all length of time, and that the supplies
eenaing from Bolivia via Corumba were abandoned.
That the commercial treaty lately made between
Bolivia and Paraguay, allowing the former to im-
P art almost every article free of duty, had stimu-
lated a great many merchants to profit by this wise
Measure of the Paraguayan Government.
It is also reported that the celebrated guerilla
Chief General Saa, who had left Europe in January
last, from St. Nazaire, to proceed, via Panama and
CaPiape, to join and head the rebellion of the in-
terior provinces of the Argentine Confederation, has
arrived at his place of destination.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has not been much
animation. At the public sales of tea, however,
Prices have ruled a shade higher, while sugar has
been in moderate demand, at fully late rates. Coffee
continues in fair request at steady prices, while
rice, owing to the continued limited supply on offer,
fully maintains former values. Tallow has been
dull, and for forward delivery may be quoted a
shade cheaper.

heat trade (if we except Liverpool, where there
little life to the trade) has, under the influence
of hot weather, become quiet during the week,

illitig to make any concession. Foreign arrivals
re fair, but there is a falling off in supply of
