CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and prices tended downwards. The sales
were estimated at 4,000 bales. In Railway Shares
there was more firmness.

There is some expectation of a renewed drain of
silver to the East, although the exchanges in India
and China continuo comparatively low. Some
heavy insurances, it appears, have been effected,
but neither the late remittances nor the demand
for or price of silver indicate the probability of
increased consignment. The supplies of this metal
from Mexico alone are almost sufficient to provide
for the present scale of exportation, and for some
weeks the purchases on the Continent have been
very limited ; but in the event of the efflux be•
coming larger, it will be followed by augmented
shipments of gold to Franco or Belgium, in order
to obtain the required quantity.
The specie movement in France, this year, has
been rather active. Duping the four months,
ending the 31st ult., the imports of silver were
equal to 53,868,280 francs, and of gold to
199,389,300 francs, making a total of 253,257,580
francs. The exports were 72,668,680 francs in
silver, and 26,248,800 francs in gold.
Owing to the immense number of applications
for allotments of the new Brazlian Loan, there has
been rather more inquiry for money. It is ex-
pected that the aggregate amount asked for is far
beyond the capital of the loan, and as 10 per cent.
deposit has accompanied the application, some in-
fluence has been created in the demand for accom-
modation. There can be no doubt of the success of
the operation, and if the sum required had been
3,000,0001., instead of 1,500,0001., the credit of
Brazil stands so well throughout Europe, that it
would have been readily obtained.
To-day the annual meeting of the lonian Bank
took place ; 0. Farrar, Esq., in the chair. It ap-
peared that through untimely rains falling on the
not yet secured fruit, destroying a great part, and
seriously damaging the rest, the profits had been
reduced. This was followed by the commercial
crisis, which led to a run at the banks at Zante
and Cephalonia, but it was satisfactorily met. The
result of the year was as follows :

Very little alteration can be noticed in the Eng-

lish Stock Market to-day, but the tendency is more
favourable, although no positive improvement has
taken place. The transactions are still very limited
and until the account is settled, speculation will
no doubt continue dull. Consols have been 97i 98
for money, and the 3d prox., and 98i / for July.
The New Threes are 96g ; the Reduced, 96i A ;
India Debentures, 99-Zi ; Exchequer Bills, 335. to
36s prem. ; and India Bonds, 235. to 245. prem.

About 100.0001. Consols have been purchased
this morning on account of the Scotch banks'.
In the Foreign Stock Market business is
i
mode-
rately active, but the variation n prices is not
important. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 96k to 97 ;
ditto 4 per Cents., 104 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents.

In the Railway Share Market this morning the
transactions were of a very circumscribed charac-
ter, and in one or two of the leading lines a slight
downward tendency was visible owing to the some-
what unfavourable traffic returns. Caledonians,
South-Westerns, and Midlands declined ss. ; Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire improved 55.; North-Eastern
(Berwick), 10s. ; Eastern Countiez, 15s. ; and
Scottish Central, 1/. In the other lines dealt in
there was little variation to report. The Foreign
and Colonial lines generally are steady. Northern
of France were a shade flatter. Great Indian Pe
ninsula declined about 55., and Great Western
of Canada ss. East Indian were at yesterday's
quotations.

Mine', Banks, and Miscellaneous shares have
been very inactive. Agra and Uuited Service Bank
and London and Westmins►,er were at previous
values ; Union of Australia improved ss. ; Aus-
tralian Agricultural declined ss. ; Peninsular and
Oriental Steam improved ss.

Two thousand more persons travelled on the South-
Western line to flampton Court and other places of
amuseixtent near London, on Whit-Monday, than on
Whit-Monday last year.
It is probable that the shipments of silver to the East
will gradually assume larger proportions. Insurances
continue to be made to cover the transmission of rather
considerable sums. _ _

THE EMPEROR OF RussiA.---The Emperor of Russia,
says a letter from Warsaw, will commence on June 12
a journey to Arkangel. A state steamer will await his
coming at that port 'to convey him to the convent of
Tolow4tz, become celiabrated by its defence against the
allied vessels in 1854. His Majesty wi I return thence
by Petrozavodsk to St. Petersburg, and will after-
wards proceed to Poliind to pass in review the first,
second, and third corps, d'annee.
