About £60,000 in gold was received at the Bank
of England yesterday, raising the total amount
added to the bullion since the date of the last
balance•sheet to £449,000. The return which will
appear to-morrow is consequently expected to show
an important accumulation. Further supplies will
be shortly announced from Australia, which may be
appropriated in the same way, owing to the dimi-
nished exportation to the Continent. The inquiry
for silver on Eastern account has also fallen off,
but the quotations for bars and dollars are tolerably
steady, and it is probable that the Indian authori-
ties will forward a large quantity of specie during
the next few months. The continued influx of gold,
and the general appearance of the money market,
warrant the expectation that low rates of discount
will be experienced some time longer, and very
little interest is therefore felt in the weekly meet-
ings of the Bank directors.

The report of the General Purposes Committee
on metage of fruit and potatoes was brought on at
the Court of Common Council to-day. It was
unanimously adopted ; and the resolution in future
will relieve the fruit trade from the unnecessary
tax, but retaining a reduced charge on potatoes,
the work of measuring and weighing by meters
being tequiled by that trade, hut it was useless as
regards fruit. _ _

In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday,
business was rather inactive, and prices of all
kinds were without change. The sales were 8,000
bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly,
and previous rates were well supported.
The demand for money is rather quiet, the appli-
cations having fallen off since the mercantile en-
gagements of the 4th of the month were discharged.
As the supplies will be increased by the release of
the October dividends, a disposition is shown to
negotiate first class bills at rather lower quotations.

There is very little alteration to report
in the market for public securities ; the
quotations continue firm, but business is
exceedingly dull, the operations for invest-
ment and in speculation being very limited.
Consols have been 951 y, but they are now 951, the
receipt of rather lower prices from the Paris Bourse
having led to diminished buoyancy. The tone of
the market, however, continues favourable. India
Stock has receded to 217; ditto New, steady at
1011 1, and the Scrip at 1011 ; Exchequer Bills
remain at 245. to 275. premium.
The transactions in Foreign Securities have been
rather more numerous, but prices are not so firm:
Turkish 6 per Cents. arc 84 to 85; ditto New, 69 to
70 ; Mexican has receded to 231; Brazilian 41 per
Cents. to 93 ; Grenada Active to 171 ; Portuguese
are steady at 46 ; and Dutch 21 per Cents. at 66 ;
Spanish 3 per Cents. have advanced to 46 4 ;
ditto Passive to Wit: but the Certificates have de-
clined to ;. Cuba 6 per Cents. are marked 1001.

up to this day, are in round numbers as under :-

ITAYMARhET THEATRE.—Last night a crowded
audience honoured the benefit of Mr. Walter Lacy, and his
performance of Benedict was followed by cordial acclama-
tions. He is not one of the Haymarket company, but had
merely engaged the house on the strength of his favour
with the public. Always lively, good-humoured, and
zealous, he has acquired a wide popularity, which last night
was amply demcnstrated.
