COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

23rd July, 1653.

Gold has advanced slnce last week, and is now quoted at £3 17s. 6d., at which price it is firm, with but a small supply offering.

The escort robbery, and the butchery connected with it, have caused great excitement in all classes of tho community, but particularly in commercial circles. Since the robbery or the Nelson nothing has been per-petrated or such enormity, though the present cold-blooded, cruel, and treacherous act far outstrips even that deed in all the shocking details or mean cowardlco, and cool and calculating ferocity. The importance of the robbery is lost sight of in the unusual feeling of horror and detestation with which its perpetrators are regarded, it being almost beyond belief that fourteen such miscreants could be found in the whole world so dead to every manly sentiment, as tho bloodthirsty treachery of this act has exhibited at our very doors. Independent of the loss which the Escort Company must sustain by this deplorable business, we

fear it will so shake public confidence, as to give a fatal blow to its future success, though no human calcula-tion could provide, and no escort whatever bo proof, against such fiendish treachery as has been displayed in this outrage.

In banking and money matters, we have little altera-tion to report. A considerable amount of specie has come in during the week, which will likely continue yet for some time, though we have already adverted to the fact that the amount of these exports has now received a check in England, which will likely exhibit its effect« here in the course of a few weeks.

Tho London Chartered Bank of Australia ha» now oponed their new premises in Collins Street, where they have shown considerable taste and activity In providing themselves with the necessary accommodation. This establishment has the large subscribed capital of £500,000 ; the whole of which has been taken up in Eng-land, in terms or their charter, which renders that com-pulsory. But we understand there is a provision enti-tling the Directors to raise a certain additional amount or capital, which they propose doing, so as to enable them to give it off In the colony, so as to create an ad-dltlonal interest in the establishment here. We under-stand this Bank is established, and Is proposed to bo conducted, on a liberal basis, and in a friendly spirit with its sister establishments in this quarter,-tho Directors having no intention to do business In a spirit or competition, but merely to afford additional facilities to trade in a liberal and honorable spirit for which the character of their manager and officers is a sufficient

guarantee.

The price of gold hit advanced during the week to 77t. 6d., the demand for thlpment ky the Eagle being

We obtervo that the wish of the Sydney Council hat been compiled with hy the Home Government, in re-gard to granting a branch of the Royal Mint being eitahllihcd there, '.while that of Victoria hal been postponed, and that of South Australia refused. The

WHOLESALI. PRICE CURRENT.

July 23rd, 1853.

Trade hat been languid during the week, but rather

a better feeling existed towards Its close, so far at least J

as to confirm largo holders In their determination to

maintain thslr prices. With the exception or flour, ¡ there havo been no transactions or any mom mt, but In that article there have been a good many Inquiries, and a row lots of good sound stuff hate changed baiuliatSSs,

Sour flour, too, lias rather risen lu consequence or tho I large shipment« making to Englsnd, which, no doubt,

will pay we)l enough, seeing that clio freight on the »r. j tiela I« io low a» to bo almost nnpiliml. This bns

lloved the market materially, and high prices monow I »iked by tho targe bolder». Colonial flour, It will bo

obiervcd, Is alio firmer | both mill» were quoting Hie bott quality at £30. Oatt, maize, bran, and hay malu. tain tholr formor quotation», and, perltapt, the latter

article li a aliado higher.

Provision» and groceries, bacon, ham», and particu-larly chene, are rallier firmer. Pickle« and oilmen's itorei, fruit, and preserve«, arc lilli dull of lale, Sugar liai fallen a little. Crush«! lump has been »old at 66»,, whick I» « declino of 4i. per owl. ou formor price».

Brandy, notwithstanding tlio large Importation!, hal not declined any further, mid generally other spirit» arc flrmof thlt wcok, though sales uro few. Port and .berry continuo at former price», with n small demand, and for light wines there Is no Inquiry,

Ale, beor, and porter still rather decline, Porter of good brand has been »old Hil» last work nt £7 pov hog«, head, mid «t 11«. per dozen i but tlteio »ale» have boon forced, and those who have »locks arc now Inclined to hold on ralhor than tell at theio low flgurei.

Building material! wo need scarcely refer to, fur they mutt cnnllnu», at least for «onie time1, at preiout high prlcoa, willoh are a» finn na last week, and give no tyniplom of any reduction,

Under the circumstances it is dlfficnlt to submit an accurate price list, when one merchant Is holding on at remunerativo prices, and another forcing sales at ,a large reduction ; but wo give the following list as being as close an approximation to accurate quotations as the state of the markets will permit :
