AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Accounts from Liverpool mention that the Cot-
ton Market closed firmly, and prices of all descrip-
tions were unaltered. The sales were estimated at
6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed
quietly, and prices are at a slight decline.
The Colonial Produce markets closed yesterday
With a heavy appearance. Sugar further receded,
making the decline on the week about 24. 6d. to
3V• per cat. Cocoa was firm, and also tea, while
coffee was at a slight improvetneet. After the re-
cent advance, saltpetre has been quieter.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Forster,
Rutty, Hall, and Co., warehousemcn, who lately
foiled, has been held, and the balance-sheet pre-
sented was very unsatistiory, showing a defi-
ciency of assets compare& th liabilities of neatly
38,0001. A dividend of 59. or 63. in the pound is
expected, and it has been reserved to wind up the
affairs of the house under inspection.

The Bulk of England Return for the week ending
the Bth inst., although showing an increase in he
reserve of notes, is considered rather unfavoure.bla.
There is a small decrease in the bullion, and a
large ad(liton to the securities, with a falling off in
the private deposits. At the same time, however,
a large augmentation in the public deposits is
noticeable, which partly accounts for the pressure
on the est:tblishinent. The principal items, and the
1111auges they present, aro as subjoined :

Money is still obtainable on the best descriptions
of mercantile paper, at a fraction below the Bank
sate.

The Funis continue buoyant, and speculation
for a rise is still prosecuted with vigour, notwith-
standing the unsettled state of the weather and the
Accumulation of securities at the Bank. The
easier state of the Money-market, and the expec-
tation that the next accounts from India will be
more favourable, asst in promoting the im-
provement. Consols for money have risen to
