CITY, Two o'Cr.ocx.
Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Marktt yesterday closed with a very animated ap-
pearance, and priers were quoted at a slight ad-
vance. The saes were estimated at 8,000 bales.
In the Railway Share Market there were only a few
transactions, and prices were w:thout altention.
The. advice; from Paris received this morning
contain the official leturn3 relative to the Trade
and Navigation of France for the month of June.
These show that the revenue derived from the im-
port duties was 17,201,325 francs against
16,357,148 francs in ,the same month of 1856, and
17,816,982 francs in 1855. The imports of gold
and silver were 76,266,640 francs, while the ex-
ports were 62,238,940 franc, so that the stook of
the precious metals had been augmented 4,027,700
francs. During the past six months the naviga-
tion has greatly increased. The entries. were
12,461 ships of 2,051,280 tons against 11,552 ships
of 1,803,339 tons in 1856. The clearances were
8,205 ships of 1,338,547 tons against 6,991 ships
and 1,114,266 tons in 1856.
At the meeting of the Cobra Copper Mining
Company a dividend of 1/. per share was decla-ed.
A report has been issued this morning by the
Directors of the National Discount Company,
which is viewed with much dissatisfaction.
The rates of exchange for bills drawn on the
Continent were rather steady yesterday afternoon.
There is still a moderat demand for discounts in
Lombard-street, but as accommo'lat:on can be ob-
tained on first class bills at a fraction under 51 per
_ .

cent., the applica`ions at the Bank are understood
to be very limited. At the same t:me the resources
of that establishment are believed to be improving,
although during the last two or three days there
have been fewer sales of gold to the authorities,
and hence an impression exists that the official rate
wall soon be lowered to 5 per cent., provided no
adverse movement occurs to render such a measure
Imprudent. At the Stock-Exchange loans are still
obtained on comparatively easy terms.
The directors of the Crystal Palace Company
have issued a report in which they intimate that at
the forthcoming meeting a resolution will be sub-
mitted to enable them to create Debenture Sock
to the amount of 250,0001 , to carry a perpetual
Preference interest of 6 per cent. The pro-
ceeds are to be applied to the following pur_
poses, viz. —lst, in paying off the balance of
64,2181. Is. due on the original purchase of land ;
2d, in discharging the sum of 68,7991. 7s. Bd. due
to capital account ; 3d, in paying off the existing
debentures in the hands of the public as they fall
due, viz., 114,7381. 10s.
At the half-yearly meeting of the London Life
Association held this day, the accounts were pre-
sented and showed the following results :—Receipts
185,0801. 198. 5d., and the payments 171,249/. 17s.
10(.1., leaving a balance of 13,8301. ls. 7d. The

Pro

dihse income of the Society was 112,2351. Some
eusloll took place when the accounts were I
passed.

A decline of to per cent. has taken place in
the Market for Public &curiae; to-day, in conse-
quence of speculative sales. The operators are evi-
dently getting nervous, as theti ale approaches for the
announcement of the overland mail. The transact ions
have not been numerous, but they are mosdy of an
adverse character. Consols for transfer were 91ft #
and for account 914 92. They are 911 and 91i
respectively. The New Threes have been 911 92,
the Reduced 94 and the New 2i per Cents.

t. The Railway Shire Market has been rather ac-
bive and the dealings in the principal lines have
seri numerous, generally at a slight decline on
rrsevieue current rates, the flatness of the Eng-
eh Market having influenced values. Eastern

dull, and show very little variation in values.
