MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIA L INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Accounts from Liverpool state that the Co!ton
Market yesterday closed with animation, and, com-
pared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds were
at a slight advance. The sales were estimated at
10,000 bales, about 2,000 of which were taken
for export-, and 2,000 on speculation.
There was no particular alteration in the Conti-
nental exchanges yesterday afternoon, but a slight
decline on Paris was noticeable.

During the fortnight ending last evening the
amount of hills di"awn by the Honourable East
India Company on the three Presidencies were as
follows :

Rates of Excbange— Amount.
On Bengal, 2s 844 per rupee... £6O 215 19 11
On Madras, 2s Ovi per rupee... 11,586 7 8
F._ On Bombay, 2s. Id. per rupee... 527 18 4

Total. £72,330 5 11
About 115,0001. in gold was taken int) tie
Bank of England yesterday.

The late influx of specie from Australia, &T.
has no doubt led to a larger accumulation of gold
in the Bank than was generally expected ; but the
affect of the sales made to the authorities will
not be seen until the publication of the return
for the current week, viz., cm Friday, the
19th instant. It was generally presumed that
almost all of these remittances, although re-
presenting such an imposing total, would be
absorbed by silver purchases, and the Bank of
France, having a very small proportion to find its
way into the Bank c9ffers ; but since Monday
250,0001., if not more, has been added to
the reserves in that establishment. Further
amounts arc expected to be similarly appropriated.
Still the public are not generally sanguine of any
speedy reduction in the rate of discount. The last
Bank r,turn was completed to the 30th May, and
exhibited a general improvement, but on contrasting
the various items with those of the statement made

Up for the corresponding period of the previous year,
'Viz., to th e 31st May, 1856, it appears t hat the pc sition
of the establishment is not so favourable as at the
latter date, as will be observed by the subjoined
comparative table :

On the 29th May, 1856, encouraged by the posi-
tion of the Bank, as shown above, the Directors
lowered the minimum f►om 6to 5 per ceLt. It is
inferred, therefore, that a further beneficial change
must take place before the authorities adopt a simi-
lar coune. When the " other securities" are
reduced to a more moderate aggregate, and
the note reserve is larger, some relief may be ex-
pected, but at present it is very doubtful whether
the existing onerous terms will be speedily
modified.

The demand for money, to-day, is tolerably
active, but no pressure is complained of, the supply
of capital being large.
The market for Public Securities is firm, but
business is dull, and the variation in prices conse-
quently unimportant. There is no new feature to
report, the market beit,g just in the same
atate as it was yesterday. Money is easier
in the House, and the demand is limited.
Consols have been m irked 931- 94 with

There has been more activity displayed in the
Railway Share Market, and a fair business has
been transacted in most of the leading lines. Prices
have, however, fluctuated to the extent of about
to per cent. Caledonian, Great Northern and
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln advanced about
ss. ; and North Eastern, York, 10s. ; while
South West-rn, Midland, North Eastern, Berwick,
and South Eastern declined ss. ; North Western,
• 108 ; and Norfolk, 11. The French lines were at
nominal values, no business having been reported
in them. The Canadian have been active, Grand
Trunk of Canada declined 10s., and Great Western
of Canada about ss. East Indian receded 10s.,
and Great Indian Peninsula ruled heavy.
In Mining Shares the only business transacted
Was in St. John del Rey, which realised 15.
Joint-stock Bank Shares ruled rather flatter.
Rank of Australasia declined 10s. ; London Joint
Stock and Union of London brought previous
rates ; and Union of Australia improved 10s.
The miscellaneous undertakings rule at steady
quotations.

Madame Puzzi, the celebrated teacher of singing, who
has been for many years past well known and generally
respected in fashionable circles, received two very flat-
tering testimonials to her talent on the occasion of
ber annual concert. A very splendid bracelet was pre-
sented to her by Signor Giuglini ; whilst from Madlle.

—Through the unwearied exertion! of the surgeons at

ferent polies interested, and by mutual consent a re-
mand was granted for seven days.
AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS IN IRELAND.—The rain,
which set in in Dublin on Sunday, appears to have com-
menced generally a day earlier in the provinces. All the
country papers speak of the beneficial effects of the chane e,
and the green crops and meadowing never at any similar
period of the season gave promise of greater abundance.
According to the latest accounts from St. Peters-
burg, the Emperor and Empress of Russia, attended
