"Regatding the cotton licences, Mr. Falconnet has
taken upon himself to confirm the sale, in consideration

IVIONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sails of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from
6,000 to 7,000 bales. The market was firm, and prices
tending upwards.—ln Railway Shares a good business
was done at advanced prices.
The Bank of England Weekly Return to the 7th
instant exhibits various changes arising from the near
conclusion of the quarter. The public deposits increase,
and the revenue is expected to prove favourable. The
private balances are curtailed simply from the increased
investments made in Consols, &c., for the ensuing divi-
dends. The loans upon securities were again increased.
The active circulation was rather extended frcm this
cause, and the bullion brought into more active play.
Compared with the preceding week, the changes were
as follows :

Yesterday afternoon, contrary to expectation, the im-
provement which occurred on Tuesday in the rates of
exchange, was not sustained. On the contrary, the
quotations for bills upon some of the continental cities
were lower than ever, Paris, at short, being down to
24 92i to 97i. Antwerp 90 days was 25 15 to 25,
Amsterdam 11 14 to Ilamburgh 11 15i. to 16, a
marked reduction, and Frankfurt 1171 to 118. Trieste
was firm, at 13 3 to 9.
The weekly Railway Traffic returns look well again in
the aggregate. Eastern Counties still suffers from the
increased competition, but North-Western stands its
ground. Great Northern, North Stafford, and other
undertakings, compare most advantageously with former
periods. In a very interesting circular upon railway
prospects, furnished by Mr. Thomas Allsop, the average
receipts of various lines far the twenty-two weeks since
the lit of July last, are higher in every instance, except
Eastern Counties, which has declined 13 312/. North-
Western, with 481 miles additional open, has taken
69,480/. more, and on fifteen lines the excess, compared
with the co; ev-...nding period of last year, is no less than
449,486/, althouzh many of the new branches are very
uuremunerating. The broker just named estimates the
annual revenue of the North-Western at a minimum of
2.225,000/, and anticipates an increase of dividend at
the next meeting. The Great Western can pay 4 per
cent. probably, and increase considerably its reserve
fund, while the South-Western benefits by the falling
in of a contt act for maintenance of way ; Great Nor-
thern is expected to develop its resources steadily, and
Midland will benefit if the 501. shareholders are settled
with. The non-dividend•paying lines have been in much
request, and some have much better prospects before
them. The South-Eastern will profit largely by
next year's exhibition. The approaching close of
the capital aocounts of all the principal lines is
an important circumstance towards the restoration of
public confidence; and avoidance of Fast errors, with
honest administration, are the chief things wanted.
Mining property is likewise pointed out as offering many
temptations, owing to the continued prosperity of the
Cornish and Devon mines. About forty of those at
present in full work pay more than 90 per cent. on their
cost, and a greater number pay from 20 to 80 per cent.
Tho West Buller Shares, last year at 40/, now sell for
7751. Wheal Providence and Bodmin Wheal Mary are
highly spoken of.
A meeting of the Mexican bondholders is convened
for Monday, the 23d inst., to take into consideration
the plan that has passed the Mexican Legislature for a
settlement of the debt.
The Committee of Mexican bondholders have re-
ceived from their agent, Mr. Falconnet, from the city of
Mexico, under date of 4th November, 1850, the official
advices confirming the promulgation of the decree for
the settlement of the foreign debt,
" Mr. Falconnet states that the Minister of Finance is
disposed to propose to Congress a modification of that
article of the Act which reduces the interest to 3 per
cent. in perpetuity, so as to limit the duration of that re•
duction.
