COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with a firm appearance, at the full rates current
last week. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Rail-
way Share Market was inanimate, and pric,..s were
rather lower.

A favourable retur❑ has been issued from the
Bank of England for the week ending the 6th inst.,
a large increase in the bullion and reserve of notes
beinc, exhibited. The former, it was generally
anticipated, would show some augmentation, owing
to the influx of gold and the sales made to the
authorities ; and the next statement will pro-
bably report a further material accession of
wealth. It is satisfactory to observe the gra-
dual accumulation of " notes unernplo3ed," and
if the improvement continues the Directors may
soon be enabled to modify their discount regula-
tion•, but there is still an unfavourable movement
in the " °Vier securities," which now reach more
than nineteen millions sterling. As a set off against
this, however, it may be remarked that the public
and private deposits have received an important
addition. The revenue collections are being made
with vigour, and the total now standing t 3 the
credit of the Government exceeds seven millions.
The principal items, and the changes they present
are as subjoined. :

The official return of the export of bullion from
the port of London for the week ending Thursday
last is as follows :

Gold Coin ... Hamburg ... 21,500 Ozs. and 6,0001.
„ ... Belgium ... 130 Ozs.
„ Bars... Boulogne ... 34,000 Ov.
Silver Coin... Belgium ... 800 Ov.
f I, ILmburg ... 1,200 Oza.
There is a good demand for money at fullyprevi-
ous rates, but there appears to be an absence of
pressure.

A special meeting of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company took place to-day. W. Brown,
Esq., iu the chair. It was stated by Mr. Ft esh-
field, the solicitor, that the ()Nut of the bill was
to carry out the undertaking on new terms,
making the locale of business in London instead of
elsewhere. The chairman said the Government
bad made this a sine qua non. It was not desira-
able that Government interference should take
place in private companies, but for political pur-
poses it was deemed requisite by the Govern-
ment that they should, in this case, have
such power, or they would give their support to
another company. It appeared that the Govern-
ment would subsidize to the exteet of 14,0001.
a-year, and that a concession would be given for
25 years, the capital being 350,0001. Some oppo-
sition was made as to a few of the clauses by Mr.
Moffatt, M.P., and others, but the bill was
eventually carried, the amendment of Mr. Dixon
baying been withdrawn by him.
