COMMERCIAL INTRIALIGENOR,

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The flight of the Queen of Spain into France, ant
the success of the insurrectionists, have given an im•
pulse to business in Foreign Government securities. The
advance of nearly per cent. in Rentes last evening had
caused an advance of I per cent in Spanish, and
a corresponding movement in some other stocks ; but
the actual news this morning produced more general
excitement. There has since been a partial reaction.
As compared with the best prices of yesterday's close,
Spanish are now better, and Italian American
securities have participated in the upward movement,
and the Funds are better. Railways are, with one
or two exceptions, also rather firmer.

Al the North British Railway meeting yesterday,

tures into debenture stock, was agreed to.
The following bullion eircular is from Messrs.
Mocatta and Goldsmid
:—" There has been little
doing in any description of silver lately, and the
arrivals have been on a very limited scale. The price
of bars remains 601 d, at which quotations remittances
can be made to Hamburg ; Mexican dollars are just
flow, 80 scarce that a limited demand for China has
been sufficient to keep them above their refining
value. The price, which has fluctuated between 59id
and 590, is now about 591, but as about three
Millions of dollars are expected to arrive by the
packet of the middle of October, they will probably
then experience a decline. The state of the French
Exchange does not allow of the export of gold to
Paris, and all arrivals from Australia, &c., are pur-
chased by the Bank. A few small shipments of gold
M sovereigns and bars have been made to India, but
these are not likely to assume any large proportions.
