A TZD
PiIETZOTAL NTELLIGENC2.

A
CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
',often from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, and previous rates
Were fully maintained. The, saes amounted to
10,000 bales, The Railway Share Market close I
With less animaiion, 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 intJligence of monetary or com-
mercial interest. The exports of specie from that
Pert continue large, and the quantity shipped clur-
-1,1.1g the year to the 17th inst., was nearly five mil-
liens sterling. The accounts frohi California report
failures had occurred which produced distrust
among the mercantile community. Money was in
limited request, and the rates continued easy.
The Mining as well as the Agricultural accounts
are exceedingly satisfa:tery.
Late yesterday afternoon it transpired that M.
Giustinani of Constantinople had suspended,
and hence, all expectations of the firm of the same
name who bad failed a few days ago being able to
resume payments has been di-sipatod. It is now
said the liabilities of the London house will pro-
,bahly exceed 300,0001., and the results of the
liquidation., it is thought, may prove uusat'sfac-
thy.
report has been issued by the directors of the
'l4ariquita and New Granada Mining Company,
Which states that the balance standing at the credit
of profit and loss after payment of the dividend
declared in January last, and transferring the
sure of 619/. to the reserve fund, is 31,0671. It is,
therefore, proposed to declare a dividend of Is. per
Care.
.r Owing to the advance in the Indian exchanges,
the authorities in Leadenhall-street have raised
he terms for drawing bills on the three Presiden-
cies to the extent of 1 per cent. This has added
to the uneasy feeling already created by the with-
drawals from the Batik, 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
os. 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 geld lately reported, besides
other adverse influences have prevented any fur-
ther relaxatii n, and for a time increased stringency
rather than a diminution in the rates may he
anticipated. Full terms are charged by the
4,onab ted-street firms, and as the 4th of the
Month approaches the inquiry becomes more
active.

About 47,0001. in gold were taken f. om the
Bank yesterday for shipment to the Continent.
A decline of 1.- per cent. has taken place in the
English Stock Market to-day, and numerous sales
have been effected. These are based upon the less
encouraging prospec's of the Money Market, in
consequence of the increased demand for accom-
modation, the advance in the Indian exchanges,
and the large specie .shipments that are being
wade to India and China. The unsettled state of
Indian affairs also depresses prices. Consols for
mousy have been 90i 90i, 91, and 901 1. For
