Financial and Commercial.
The Banks Of France and England have
Sex per cent, the former from five, the latter
from five and half, which were respectively
tue previous rates The Bank Of England lost
., further sum IN specie, amounting to ESQ $50
sterling, in the week ending 13fh of October.
Inc aesence OF arrivals Of gold from Australia,
whence ships are overdue, having, according 10
adsices from one to e-and- -a-half million
pounds sterling of gold ON board, has caused
great disappointment.
The further advance in the rates of interest
by the two banks is viewed as conservative
measure, and though some excitement has been
caused, leading TO caution and. restriction in
mercantile operations, neither dissatisfaction
nor alarm has been occasioned. There appears
8 total abstinence of commercial distrust There
is no diminution in the consumption Of cotton.

sainption A portion of the sales were made at
id advance, but the market lost this as soon as
it was known that the Bank of England had

the more recent reports from France speak
of q deficiency of "a least $4,000 quarters Of
wheat, and q like quantity Of rye, which have
English markers. The English imports Of grain,
therefore, are reckoned as coed as specie, as
they furnish exchange with France. J9g5gf f#Fss
