NIoNEY- MARKET.

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
'l;tarket yesterday closed quietly, and prices of all
Qescriptions were without alteration. The sales
Were estimated at 5,000 bales, 500_ of were
takeni by the exporters. The Railway Share Mar-
et opened with a dull appearance, but subse-
quently improved, and closed firm.
The shipping accounts published by the Board
°I Trade show an increase in the amount of ton-
nkT employed in the foreign trade of the United
—"igdom for the first quarter of the present year,
"°Qlloared with 1856 of 118,306 for the entries in-,
:ards) and of 202,953 tons for the clearances out-
-4.4. In the coasting trade for the like per'od
0999 tons more were employed for the eLtries
tlwards, and of 163,159 for the clearances out-
Itards..

Later advices have been received from America by
the steamer Asia, but they do not contain any new
feature of importance, either in connexion with ino-.
lietar37 or commercial affairs. The last City Banks'
return completed to the 11th inst., exhibited some
tltellqve changes. The loans and discounts having
i
in,rcltscd $510,815, and the specie being reduced
Through this expansion of discount
°Aerations, the money market was comparatively
°a'l7, but as they represented a tot al of $115,374,717,
`ltwas thought that some contraction would soon
Lue advisable. The Exchange in London has further
'4„Pre'ved, viz., to 109 to 1094, so that we may
have remittances of gild from New York.
:3 is a favourable circumstance at the pre-
nt moment, when there is such a continued
'Ca a to the Continent and the East.
yytN accounts from Paris notice the falure of
..ears• Vahe and Co.,bankers, of Paris and
're. The amount of their liabilities is not
4eettained, but the capital of the firm is said to
Ithave been very small, viz., about 24,0001.
4 meeting of the Shareholders of the London
anti
tr, Eastern Banking Corporation was held to-day
- receive the report of the Directors on the pre-
-4"
e4t Position of the affairs of the company, and the
tLJ'asnres taken by them to provide means to enable
:8170, to meet its engagements ; also to consider the
°Priety of dissolving the company. The claims was
faked'tO by Col. A. Tucker, C. 8., who read the report,
teh as that of the directors, aided by the coin-
lt!'e and stated in substance that the engage-
ments of the company had been all provided for
o):thc prompt assistance of the Oriental Bank and
flget assistant banks, so as to protect the public

tl,4limery notes for the calls unpaid as security. On
1)'44.23 the estimate then presented showed a sur-
a, but according to that made since the 11th
ril) when Mr. Stewart undertook the manage-
s:tlr on the part of the Oriental B ink, the general
Reefseta had exhibited a total deficiency of 6,2301.,
38having been discovered that Colonel Waugh's
,I)rt3r would not realise the advances by at least

e° was adopted, and Mr. C. Stewart was
ti„._ •
c
o"ued manager, under the authority of the
oanittee, and as the representative of the
rental Bank Corporation. It was also agreed
that
..ttns
the Bank
e should nit he dissolved. These
04; olu
passed unanimonsly in the absence
we directors, in regard to who4e transactions it
arall
deemed prudent not to interfere at present. A
ur
tLeclial vote of thanks was passed to the directors of
Oriental Bank, to Mr. Stewart, and to the
meeting.
The •
demand for money is still very active, at
'id rates.
to
has just been stated that the Bank has refused
Zwgraut loans on Consols for a longer period than

the rule is not general.
The
