CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday was rather quiet. The sales
were 4,000 bale?, 2,000 of which were taken for ex-
portation. The Railway Share Market was dull,
at about previous quotations.
Numerous additions are being made to the list of
failures. At Liverpool three or four have been
precipatated by the stoppage of the Borough Bank.
The following occurred on Thursday : viz., Messrs.
De Wolf and Co„ shipowners ; Gould and Davies,
wine merchants and ship chandlers, and Robert
Morrow, Son, and Garbutt, timber merchants. In
London the suspension was announced yesterday
of Messrs. John Haly alad Co., in the New York
and Canada trade, and of Messrs. Daffrar, and Co.
ship and insurance brokers. These have been
caused by the non-arrival of remittances from
America ; and other similar disasters are
anticipated. The various houses in this branch
of business, however, now know the worst, and
as they are aware that no remittances will arrive
for some time, those who are unable to bear the
losses iucurred will speedily succumb, so that the
results of the crisis will soon be made known.
After the 4th of next month the failures in this
department will probably ease, or at all events,
become very limited in extent.
The John Bunyan, which arrived yesterday from
New South Wales, brought 120,0001. in gold.
The Bank of England return is made up for the
week ending the 27th inst., and its general appear-
ance is more favourable than could have been ex-
pected. With the exception of the bullion, which
is smaller, there is an improvement in every depart-
ment, and it is shown that the elevation of the rate
to 8 per cent., although so burdensome to the com-
mercial community has protected the note reserves
of the establishment. It is probable that the stock
of the precious metals will be further slightly re-
duced, some large parcels on American and Conti-
nental account, having lately been withdrawn.
This movement, however, will no doubt soon
abate. The principal items and the changes they

In accordance with a new arrangement, an im-
portant improvement has been determined upon in
connection with the Bank returns. Henceforth
they will be brought down to Wednesday in each
Week, and published as heretofore on Friday. The
old system, through which nearly a week elapsed
between the date of the return and the period when
it was issued to the public, was an absurdity, and
the alteration, which has been so warmly advocated
by the press, for several years, will afford general
satisfaction.
The official return of the exports of precious
metals from the port of London for the week end-
ing Thursday last is as follows :
Gold Coin ... Boulogne ... 120 Ozs.
„ Bars ... Boulogne ... 16,010 ~... Belgium ... 1,962 „
Silver Coin ... Boulogne ... 800 „
if Hambro 300 „
... Canaries ... 1,600 „
~Bars ... Boulogne ... 160 ~
The Stock Exchange will be closed on Monday,
November 2, by order of the Committee.
There has been a further improvement in the
English Funds, and at one time it was equal
to per cent. About j per cent. of this, how-
ever, has since been lost, the usual reaction after
such an important rise. There is a disposition
to epesulate for a rise, and most of the Bears have
retired from the market. The Bank Return,
together with the increased confidence felt in
Connection with America has completely altered
the appearance of the market. Consols for
money rose to 908 ; and the account to 904
L but they are now 90k g, and 90j respectively.
For the December account they are 901 The
New 3 per Cents. have been 89/ I, and the Re-
