CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The general inquiry for discount accommodation
both in Lombard-street and at the Bank of Eng-
,. td continues moderate, but the rates show very
alteration, and, as gold is flowing into the
national establishment, it is concluded that the
ureetors will not be called upon to modify the
elisting regulations for some time to come.
hueed, very little attention is now paid to
tLe Weekly meetings of the directors, because
the
stock of bullion continues at a high
P°int, and the other securities show scarcely
increase, notwithstanding the loans now ob-
tained on stock until the transfer books are re-
ePened--.viz., on the 19th proximo. The Railway
trade returns and other statistics indicate that the
trade of the country is slowly recovering from its

rst-elaell paper being negociated at rates as low as
abPer cent., and at the Stock Exchange, where
lyinquir is equally limited, advances are obtain-
e at very moderate quotations.
utetters from Liverpool state that the Cotton

active, and prices firm.
