. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
market on Saturday closed quietly, but at full
prices for all descriptions. The sales were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, 700 of which were taken for
export and on speculation. The Railway Share
Market closed firmly, and a good business was
transacted. at advanced prices.
The advices from New York, to-day, mention
that the demand for money continued active, and
the last weekly return from the City Banks showed
a further extension of their loans and discounts.
The Leadenhall-street authorities have made
a further advance of 2 per cent. for Bills drawn
upon the Three Presidenc'es, Which will have the
effelt of stimulating the drain of specie from this
side, already so rapid as to threaten a serious de-
clension of the Bank's stock of bullion. Within
a few days upwards of 400,0001. has been sent
away from that establishment, chiefly to the Con-
tinent to pay for purchases of silver. If this efflux
continues the directors will soon be compelled to
increase the rate of discount or adopt other pro-
tective measures. Occurring, as this movement has,
at a time when the demand for money has
increased in consequence of Stock Exchange
settlements, and the preparations for the 4th, viz.,
to-morrow, au apprehension has been aroused, that
the improvement lately noticed in financial affairs
has received a decided check, while many in their
disappointment predict a return of stringency and
pressure. The amount of silver on board the
Ripon for immediate despatch to the East, as will
be seen .by the subjoined particulars, amounts to
1,012,9631., and it is impossible that the bi-
Monthly exports can be sustained at that rate,
without causing considerable inconvenience. The
supply of silver without recourse to the Continent
is quite inadequate to the wants of shippers, and
the result is, that not only may all the gold we
receive from America and Australia be absorbed,
but the amount of the precious metals at the Brnk
must be further sensibly diminished.
The following are the particulars of the specie

New York ; 433,872/., per Parana, from Mexico ;

sula, making a total of about 720,0001.
There is an increased demand for money, and
the market is temporarily rather tight, owing to
the arrangements for to-morrow the 4th of the
month. _ _

At the commencement of business this morning
the funds appeared heavy and drooping, as the
rumour that Delhi had succumbed is still without
the slightest corroboration. Since then a decline
of about f per cent. has occurred, owing to renewed
sales, the Bears being encouraged to continue
their operations. On Saturday there was a good
deal of excitement, and the speculators for a fall
°ought back very freely. and this caused an ad-
!mice, but now, fuither sales are made, which
have occasioned a slight reactionary movement.

declined, and up to this time the prospects are now de-
cidedly in favour of Mr. Bright. The Conservatives

bablethey may turn up, and take advantage of any di-
'Vision in the Liberal camp.
