Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, and previous rates
Were fully maintained. The sales amounted to
10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market close-I
with less animation, and prices were a shade
lower.
The advices brought by the Columbia from the
'United States which brings about 20,0001. in gold,
contain very litt;e intelligence of monetary or cnm-
Mercial interest. The exports of specie from that
Port continue large, and the quantity shipped dur-
ing the year to the 17th inst., was nearly five mil-
lions sterling. The accounts from California report
considerable depression in tract., and several heavy
failures had occurred which produced dis+rust
among the mercantile community. Mon ,y was in
limited request, and the rates continued easy.
The Mining as well as the Agricultural accounts
are exceedingly satisfa, tory.
Late yesterday afternoon it transpired that M.
Giustinani of Cons. altinople had suspended,
and hence, all expectations of the firm of the same
name who had failed a few days ago being able to
resume payments has been di sipat,,d. It is now
said the liabilities of the London house will pro-
bably exceed 300,0001., and the results of the
Liquidation., it is thought, may prove unsatlsfac-
tory.

A report has been issued by the directors of the
391%liquita and New Granada Mining Company,
Which states that the balance F•briding at the credit
of profit and los; after payment of the dividend
declared in January last, and transferring the
BUM of 5191. to the reserve fund, is 31,66'7/. It is,
therefore, proposed to declare a dividend of is. per
•hare.

Owing to the advance in the Indian exchanges,
the autholities in Leadenhall-street have raised
he terms for drawing bills on the three Presiden-
cies to the extent of 1 per cent. This bas added
to the uneasy feeling already created by the with-
drawals from the Bank, and the preparations made
for the remittances of silver to the East, as the efflux
thither is likely to increase. The inquiry for that
metal is more active, and the quotations tend up-
Wards, the price of bars being about ss. lid. to
ss. 2d. per ounce standard.
The Bank of England Directors, at their meet-
ing to-day, made no alteration in their discount
regulations. The renewed pressure for money
and the withdrawal of gold lately reported, besides
other adverse influences have prevented any fur-
ther relaxation, and for a time increased stringency
rather than a diminution in the rates may be
anticipated. Full terms are charged by the
LOmbard-street firms, and as the 4th of the
month approaches the inquiry becomes more

About 47,0001. in gold were taken fi om the
Bank yesterday for shipment to the Continent.

A decline of per cent. has taken place in the
13glitth Stock Market to-day, and numerous sales
have been effected. These are based upon the less
encouraging prospects of the Money Market, in
consequence of the increased demand for accom-
modation, the advance in the Indian exchanges,
end the large specie shipments that are being
made to India and China. The unsettled state of
Indian affairs also depresses prices. Consols fur
money have been 90t 901, 91, and 901 4. For
the account they have been 901 91, 901
and 90# The present prices are 90
