MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
There is again an apparent anomaly in the wetkly
return of the Bank of Eugland to the 14th inst., sicce,
in the face of larger advances upon securities, there is
no addition to the circulation; on the contrary. It is,
however, still the public deposit account that is the cause
of this rejection or return of notes, and until the quar-
terly payments begin, we can expect no alteration in
this respect. Tho private balances were lessened a little
to meet the usual requirements of the mercantile com-
munity while the transfer books are closed. The bul-
lion was added to, and, taking the whole of the items,
the result of a comparison with the previous week is as
follows:

The sudden revulsion in the market prices of Railway
Shares, after the late rapid advance, may be appropriately
demonstrated to have: no reference to traffic, but to be
rather the result of speculation and profit realisations.
Taking all the railways of the United Kingdom, we
shall find but a very limited number that did not last
week experience an increase of traffic. An analysis of
the takings shows an excess to the following amounts
compared with the like period of 1849:—Aberdeen 8911.,
Caledonian 5691, Elinburgh and Glasow 3481., North
British 5744
The Dublin and Kingstown 2734, Great Southern and
Western of Ireland 1,6721., and Midland Groat Western
of Ireland 2251.

The Bristol and Exeter 6541, Chester and Holyhead
1,8651., East Lancashire 1,193 L, Great Northern 4,4211.,
Great Western 3,6431., Lancashire and Yorkshire 3,011/,
North-Western 3,2801, Brighton 1,5814 South-Western
2.4631., Midland 7811, North Stafford 677/., South-
Eastern 4,020/., and York and North Midland 1,046'.
The instances of a decrease comprises Eastern Coun-
ties, 1151., and York and Berwick, 2371.
The Paris and Rouen receipts were larger by 1,729/.,
the Rouen and Havre by 8661., the Amiens and Bou-
logne by 6781., and the Dutch Rhenish by 2221.
Tho amount of silver exported direct from London
this week is 41,200 ounces, and of Gold 311 ounces and
4,000/.

The accounts from Yorkshire describe trade as being
very active, but in Lancashire it is rather duller again.
There are advices of May 26 from Port Phillip. The
Rev. Dr. Lang had been telt axed from his imprisonment
for debt. ,The colony was prosperous, and labourers
found ready employment.
The Funds are very quiet. Consols 96i for Trans-
fer and 96a for Account. Exchequer-bills are 635.
premium. There is scarcely anything doing.
A feeling of extreme disgust has been excited by the
announcement that the Spanish Junta of Public Credit
would not adopt the plan of the English committee, or
even suggest any other. The following is a notice on
the subject:—
.

" The Comtnitteo for regulating the debt of Spain,
whilst admitting the justice of our claims and the mode-
rate terms of proposed compromise, have declined to re-
commend their acceptance to the Government, upon the
plea that Spanish Finance is not equal to sustain the
burden which those terms would entail upon it, and they
abstain from suggesting any other at present,
" JAMES CAPEL.

" Friday evening, Sept. 20, 1850."
The value of Spanish Five per Cents. bits been re-
duced from 19i to 18* ; while the Three per Cents.
have touched 38 to 381, being considered all the surer
as long as nothing is paid on the rest of the debt. Mexi-
can Bonds are 301 to 3031, being barely so good. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. are 334 to 33g.
111 Mining Shares rather more than an average
business has been done this week.
Railway Shares are heavy again, and with much less
doing.
