CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 4,000 hales, with a dull market.—ln Railway
:Mares a limited business only was done, and at lower

prices.
The changes in the Bank of England account cf lift-
&c., were net so important during the week to
the 26th ult., but yet interectutg in respect to some items.
The Government deposit account had sunk probably as
low as it will go fur the present, and private deposi-
tors would appear to find rather Ic.ts employment for
their assets, as the balances to their account !suffered no
further curtailment, and on the contrary were aug-
mented. It is proper to remark, nevertheless, that we
expect an increttie at this time of year, and immediately
after the payment of the diyidends. The circulation Mill
diminished, as the slight increase cf loans upon other se-
curities was counterbalanced by tho larger amount of
d,posits. Compared with the previous week, the results

COVZLIT-G.A.RDMN.

There was a decline rgain yesterday afternoon in the
rates at which bills of exchange were negotiated upon
the principal continental cities, and there seems a scar-
cty of paper, which it is rather difficult to account fur,
otherwise than upon the presumption that there is less
than usual owing to us by foreign countries. Great in-
terest is felt just now in this matter, because not only
silver specie leavers us to some extent, but gold is more
abundant and cheaper at Paris, and, is,s is presumed by
some, en account of increased supplies from England.
Three months' bills on Paris were taken at 25 42} and
and at short date at 25 14 to 15. Vienna was
quoted 12 10 to 12 14, and Trieste 12 15. On Austria
parties are very shy of taking bills, and will be whilo
political affairs are so unsettled. Frankfort was 119:1 I,
Hamburgh 13 9to Amsterdam 11 18i to 19/, and
Antwerp 25 40 to 44.
The experts of bullion from London direct this week,
and to Thursday, have been 498 ounces of gold dust,
119,340 ounces of silver to Holland and Belgium, 55,000
ounces to France, 25,600 ounces to Madras, and 12,000
ounces to Hambro'.
There are accounts of June 13 from Sydney, and
August 24 from the Cape of Good Hope, bat they fur-
' nish nothing of importance.
At Frankfort, on the 30th ult., Austrian Metallics
wore 761, and Spanish Three per Cents. 34
The .e; liglith Funds fully support the improved tone
that was perceptible on Thursday afternoon. Consols
have been at 97k4 for Transfer, and 971 s for December.
Tho political news still reads doubtful, and no one can
determine whether the issue will be peace or war; but

there is so little speculation going on, that a few money
investments at once turn the market upwards. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Ceuta. have been 984 and
:he Three per Cents. 96i to 1. Bark Stock has been
firm at 212 to 213. Excuequer-bills have been quoted
355. to 683. prem., and India Bonds 86s. prem.
The Foreign Securities have been quiet, but rather
firmer. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 344, and
Spanish Five per Cents. 184 to t; Mexican Bonds have
been at an advance to 32 and 32k-; BreitHan Small are
90i; Grenada, 18i; and Peruvian Deferred, 36g. Dutch
Four per Cents. are 88i to 4.
The Railway traffic return for last week is satisfactory
in regard to most of the lines.
The Share Market is decidedly better to-day, and an
advance has occurred in North-Western, Great Northern,
South-Eastern, &c. •
In Mining Shares rather less has been done this
week.

(THIS DAY.)
This being the first day of Michaelmas Term an an
usual commotion prevailed in the viciaity of Westminster
Hall during the whole morning. From twelve to two'
o'clock, when it was expected the judges, after break'
luting with the Lord Chancellor, would take their 5(1;1
in their several courts, the excitement greatly increase°
An immense crowd of well-dressed person?, a great por-
tion tion of whom were ladies, had assembled in %Vesta:tiesl'"
Hall anxious to witness the procession of the incl,4Tl.
and a body of policemen were stationed within the
to maintain order.
Some time before th arrival of the judgfa the back
benches of the Court ofe Qaeen's Bench were filled vvit""
spectatore, amongst whom were a taw junior barristfa,r7,
On the front bench of the Court, and for OEO,II,
alone, sat the Duke of Brunswick, with a bundle of elec";
ments before him, as if meditating and preprhe
motion to the Court, whilst among the persons; 00 the
floor of the court we noticed Mr. end Mrs. Cobbett'
if there on a similar errand. All was anticipation an
excitement.
The Courts of Exchecrier and Common Pleas bs_a
undergone a thorough cleansing during the long vacatiou,
and gave out a strong odour of varnish and paint. a. t
Among the crowd in the body of the hall were a gre`; •
number of barristers and several sergeants and Qn'en
counsel, the latter of whom wore their lull bottom('
wigs, and presented a somewhet imposing aPPearial•inc:,
The) were all busily occupied, in the interval of wait j
for the judges, in making recognitions and
compliments with old friends whom the long /acan°'
bad scattered far and wide. rr•
The bells of St. Margaret's, Westminster, rang 01e- '
peals at intervals during the mornine
Precisely at half-past ono o'cluek".the arrival of th
judges was announced, and, having alighted, g
walked in the usual procession through- the Ilan to loe'
several courtF.

The rumour currently going in Westminster Ball tlO
morning, that Mr. Martin, Q.C., bad been created tb'
new Judge of the Exchequer, in the place of Mr. 13°r,1

general understanding was that Mr. Matthew D3ll
port Hill, the Recorder of Birmingha-m, was bopr", 4
mated to the vacant office. The rumour of bir. Alart.ll,l),
appointment received confirmation from the fact "-I, I
Mr. M. D. Hill occupied a seat on the front bench of t'

Mr. Martin will be the judge.
