MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were B,OJO to
10,000 bales, including 2,500 on speculation. The ma.ket
was very firm.—A large business was done in Shares at film
rates.
There are no late arrivals to-day with news of ivy general
interest.

The monthly statement of the Circulation of Promissory
Notes in Scotland gives the amount at 8,303,2551., a decrease
of 30,651/., while the Bank of Ireland and the private and
joint-stock banks of that country reduced their issues to the
extent of 144,9911. The total issues in both Scotland and
Ireland were 9,60,4141. The Bankers' Magazine furnishes
a summary of the weekly returns of the banks of England
and Wales, and the average during the month to
the 16th of August was 7,553,2311., which is but
84,2921. below July, an instance of remarkable steadi-

mess under existing circumstances, and taking into
consideration the gross amount. The Bank of England re-
turn for the week, to last Saturday, is 29,022,3101. for the

note issues, or a diminution 0f53,51. The bullion amounted

to 15,602,605/., an increase of 77,1981. The public deposits
have increased again, while those for private parties have
been further trenched on. The seven day bills have in-
creased, and also the quantity of notes, but the other securi-
ties have fallen off.

There is a firmer market for Stocks to-day, but the trans-
actions have been moderate. Consols are 983/4 to 99 for
Money, and 99 1,4 to for Account. Exchequer-bills realise
465. to 48s. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have 'been 1024 to %. East India Stock is worth 272, and
South Sea Stock 112.
The Foreign Investments have been rather more dealt in.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been 241,4, and the Three per
Cents. 38%. Pcrtuguse Four per Cents. are 63%; Mexican
continue flat at 33%.
Shares are all very buoyant again, and there is in many
lines a good deal doing. The Bear party are quite hors de
combat, and must be severe losers where they have closed
their accounts.

14°,4ed by Dr. flume's nomination to a commissionership
ttt!unacy. It is understood that he has made no signifi-
thtion to the Court of Directors, and that he has refused
thee fie
appointment. In the absence of all
ar,eelfie information, and no new appointment having
en made by the Lord Chancellor or the East India
ea°l4Pany, I beg the favour of your informing the public
kto the state of the case, it being clear that Dr. Hume
nnot hold both consistently with the declarations of the
nesters.—your obedient servant, M.
tt„l- We have it not in our power to afford our cor-

thuneation of his letter may elicit some declaration on
