MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday manifested a dull and heavy ap pearance, and prices are without any material alteration. The sales were estimated at from 5,090 t 3 6,000 bales, 500 of which ware taken on specu lation. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and prices slightly advanced. The public sales of Foreign and Colonial Wool Which will terminate on the 17th inst., are progress ing very firmly, the enhanced prices realised at the commencement of the series being fully maintained, except for some of the inferior descriptions of Cape, which are ld. to Id. per lb. cheaper. The atten dance of buyers is still favourable, but it is noticed that the representatives of several foreig.i houses, having, no doubt, supplied their wants, have de parted. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets this week there has been very little animation, and the purchases have been principally confined to immediate wants. Sugar has been rather firmer, but the quantity disposed of by public auction has been small. For coffee there has been very little inquiry, but no particular alteration in prices has occurred. The public sales of tea held yesterday went off quietly, the dealers being desirous of perusing their letters by the overland mail before extending their operations. Rice has been steady. Cocoa at higher prices, and rum quiet, at previous values. Saltpetre has been inactive, and cochineal rather lower. Tallow has ruled rather firmer, and realises full rates. It is now ascertained that all the gold by the Mermaid and Blackwall has been taken for the Continent. Even this supply has not proved suf ficient to satisfy the immediate demand, and a further sum of 5,0001. was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday. Most of the gold by the .Blackwall. was secured for the Bank of France, and as purchases of silver are being prosecuted the drain from this side is ex pected to go on as rapidly as before. About 10,0001. has been announced from Sydney this morning by the Wooloomooloo, which has arrived in eighty-three days, and further supplies are expected in the course of the next fort. night. Unless large remittances soon come in and remain here, it is evident that the stock of precious metals in the Bank of England must ma terially diminish. The Return to be published this evening is expected to show a decline, but net to any great extent. The Bank of France monthly statement, published in an other column, is considered encouraging, as it shows an increase in the bullion and a decrease in the discounts and advances. Still it appears that the authorities are compelled to ob tain assistance from this country through purchases of gold, which, combined with the demand for silver, necessarily lead to a heavy exportation from this side. At the special meeting of the East Kent Rail way Company to-day, Sir John Tylden in the chair, a resolution was pasQed for raising 233,3331. on de bentures, notexceediug 5 per cent. per annum. The annual meeting of the Van Diemen's Land Conapany is just terminated. The report was, on the whole, satisfactory, showing an increase of land sales, and that a new settlement was being planned out under favourable prospects. It appeared from the accounts that a balance of 2,9861. was at bankers. A dividend of 10^. per share was declared at the end of 1856. The report was adopted. No alteration of importance has occurred in the English Stock Market to-day, and the prices have remained at their previous range. A few opera tions have been effected, but they were not of a nature to influence values. The expectation that the Bank of England return to be published this evening will prove unfavourable tends to depress the market, but it is the general position of mone tary affairs which has most weight with the opera tors. Consols have been 931 for money and 9311 for the account. The 5 per Cents. have been dealt in at 1141. Exchequer Bills are par to 3s. premium and the Bonds 981. The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market have been of a very limited character, but in most instances at fully former quotations. Peruvian 4i per Cents. 78i. 1, Spanish 3 per Cents. 41. Mexican were firm at 22k, and Turkish 6 per Cents. improved to 971.

Go,6p.cJan, July CONFIDENCE IN THE GOVERNMENT. MEETING THIS' DAY. A large and influential meeting of the electors )f the City of London, comprising merchant , , banker., vaders, and others, was held this afternoon at the Guilihall— the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presiding--"to take into consideration the decision recently come t) by the House of Commons, relative to the affairs atCanton, and to Express iti high confidence in her ;lajesty's G ivernrnent." Long before two o'clock, the hour for commencing the business of the meeting, the hall was denselycrowded The interval between the assembling (f the electors and the commencement of the business of the meeting was devoted to the usual ebulitions of popular feeling on such occasions as these. The named of the favourites on the popular side of the question were Loudly cheered, whilst those on th e oppos it e s id e were receiv e d w ith groans, hisses, and other unmistakeable tokens of dis approbation. The whole being interspersed with a variety of songs of liberty, the Marseillaise Hymn being the favourite, the strAins of which rever berated through the vaulted hall, to the surprise and astonishment of those sober guardians of the building —Got, and Magog. At two o'clock the Lord Mayor arrived, and was loudly cheered. He was accompanied by Messrs. Raikes, Currie (candidate), J. Dillon, Crawford (candi date), Serjeant Ballantine, W. J. Hall, Deputy Dakin, Oliveira, Edwin James, Q.C., Sheriff Keats, Alderman Wire, Whitehurst, Alderman Sir J. Duke, M.P. (can didat(), and ether gentlemen of influence. The LORD MAYOR, in opening the business of the meeting, said that he had called it at the request of 800 electors of the City. Recalled on them to give all an im partial hearing. The reading of the object of the meet ing was received with mingled expressions of approval arid disapprobation. The following is the resolution to be submitted to the meeting by Mr. Raikes Currie, seconded by Mr. Dillon : " That Lord Paltherilon having undertaken the Go vernment of this country under circumstances of ex treme difficulty, and'in the crisis of a great war which he successfully carried to the issue of an honourable peace is entitled to the thanks of the country, and hav ing by an adverse vote of the House of Commons been, in fact, censured for hie policy in reference to the pro ceedings at Canton—this meeting feels called upon to express its conviction that from the position of affairs in China and the past proceedings there, no other course was fairly open to a British statesman, or was compati ble with safety to the property and lives of our fellow countrymen In that quarter, and with the honour and dignity .of the nation." There was a great diversity of opinion amongst those present, especially to the expre!'sions used by the various speakers relative to the peace lately concluded being an honourable one, that the country was in a flourishing condition, and supporting the present Government. To this resolution the following amendment will be submitted to the meeting by Mr. MORLEY i "Tb at this meeting detests Bureauacy, which is coo tinentel despotism, of which Sir George Grey, the llume Secretary, is the director. That this system has been acted on by Lord Palmerston's Government, and is closely connected with, and dependent on, the Episcopal church of the land ; and because this church is the rallying point for jobbing corruptionists and centralising tyrants, increases taxation, and is one of the causes of the pre sent awful state of society. This meeting declares its belief that it is the bounden duty of every one to exert all constitutional means to sever the Church from the State, and will vote for no man at the ensuing elec tion that will not give this pledge." The hilowing questions to ask candidates were exten sively circulated in the hal by the movers cf the amend- went : " 1. Will you, by all constitutional means, as with your vote in Parliament, try to sever the union between Church and State, compelling each denomination to support its own place of worship and institution ? 2. Will you immediately insiNt on 100 Inspectors to be sent out, throughout Great Britain, by and under the authority of the charity commissioners, to (xAmine, on the spot, into all the property left for charitable or edu cational purposes, and where no injury would be done, support one general act to apply the real amount to the general education of the country, on t , te principle of civil equity, making the Bible, without note or comment, the standard school-book —purely as week-day schools— neither extemporising on theology or a catechism to be taught ? 3. Will you support a bill to enforce one uniform Weight and Measure throughout Gieat Britain, and give powers to a person defrauded, either in weight, measure, or adulteration, to summon the person oflend ing before a magistrate, without the intervention of a third party / 4. Will you support an alteration of the law of debtor and creditor, supporting the poor but honest debtor, and punishing the rogues, with, such men as tip) directors of certain banks I 5, Will you restore to Englishmen local self-govern ment, substituting supervision, with corrective powers, to appeal to the County Court of the district against improper or fraudulent accounts ? Other irregularities by appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench. 6. Will you insist on non-interference in the affairs of foreign countries, insisting that the Foreign Minister shall exert the moral influence of this country in favour of civil and religious liberty, to its utmost limit ? 7. Will you vote for a measure limiting the duration of Parliament to three years, retaining nomination, and addressing the constituencies as at present ? The votes to be taken by voters' papers, as for Poor Law Guardians ? 8. Will you carry out free trade measures, entering into a British league, for our colonies, and trading with foreigners on the principle of reciprocity I LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.)

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The Canadian screw . steam-ship Anglo Saxon, from Portland, has arrived, with dates from New York to the 28 h ult. The Mexican treaty had reached Washington. It is asserted that there is no cession of territory, and no preference of individual claims against Mexico. It says nothing of Tehuantepec, or of Sonora, or Lower California.. The Mexican Go 17(1.m:tient desires immediate action. According to the Tribune, the majority of the Cabinet has signified a strong feeling a2ainst enter taining the new Mexican Treity, and there was no present prob Ability thAt it woul be submit•ed to the Senate at all. The Senate had debated the Tr.rd question. An amendment was _ adopted phcing raw w:nl at 23 per cent., and that of 20c. a pound or less free. Mr. Hunter's motion, reduc . n2 the rAtes of the present tariff 20 per cent., -was also r‘dopt-A. It was believed that the joint committee of conference of both Houses would Agree on the details of a bill which would be acceptaide to both branches of Congress. The President had signed the Suinngrine Tele graph Bill. The Illinois had arrived at New York, wi'h late ad vices from California, and $1,700,000 in specie. From Nicaragua we learn that tho allies had cap tured. a schooner which was conveying suppii s to Walker. The Point of Trinidad was occupied by - 400 C.sta Ricans. Rumours were current that the filibusters were about to attack them. At New York stocks generally unglanged, except Erie, which is higher; money was in Iderat-ly active and firm. Sterling exchange was dull and nominal. Cotton remained as last report© 1. Flour had advanced sc: Pork was lower, but firm. The iron market was steady, a',131 for Scotch p:g.. Ken tucky tobacco changed hands at 13c. to 18c. Freights were rather better. At Charleston, February 26, co!tln declined ic. to lc., principally on the lower grades. • PORTUGAL. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY AIJRNING. Advices from Lisbon to the 6th March state that nothing had b3en concluded in the reorganisation of the Cabinet. There was no doubt that Gonise and Pessoa. Lad resigned. The Count de Lavradio had been in conference with the King, and Minister hid &diced to tike part in the Administration, - Clough he would sup port it. M. Soure had declined to take office. The Princess Royal, Duke of Wellington, and James Watt were in port. The above has been brought by the Douro. LOSS OF THE STEAM-SHIP MADRID. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Sultan, Captain Cook, at rived th's morning as an extra bo it from Alexandria, with six passengers, and a large cargo of wool, gum, elephants' teeth, &c. She left Alexandria Feb. .23 ; Malta, 28 ; Gibraltar, March 4. By this arrival we have received from Gibraltar the following. interesting letter respecting the loss of the steam-ship Madrid at Vigo : The Madrid left Southampto❑ on the 17th Feb., with the usual Peninsular mails, and experienced fine weather in crossing the Bay of Biscay. On the 20th, at foura.m., she made V►llano Light on port bow, and continued during the forenoon running along the coast at an offing of abut six miles. On the same day, at 3.30 p.m., whilst in the act of rounding Point Hombres, entering Vigo Bay at full speed, she suddenly and heavily struck on a sunken invisible rock, and remained fixed there. No con fusion ensued, The quarter-hosts were in the water in about two minutes, and the women put into them, whilst her Majesty's mails were brought on deck. •The order, "turn astern," was given, and the vessel moved off the rock, gave a heavy lurch to port, recovered herself, was canted, and as she was fast sinking, the order was given, " turn ahead full speed," and the ship was ran stem on a sandy beach, in a small cove, conveniently situated.. All this took place in 10 minutes, by which timo the forecastle-deck was just awash with the sea, and the ves••el surrounded by native fishing-boats, the crews of which lay off, and behaved well. In 13 minutes her Majesty's mails, women, and treasure were in the ship's boats, and acting in con cert with the captain after the catastrophe, the Ad miralty agent, Lieut. Tickell, left the packet, and in about two hours after reached the British Consul's house in Vigo. At 10 p.m. Capt. Brad shaw had landed, and reported that the vessel lay still in the same position, but totally immersed. No lives were lost. The first-class passengers saved everything, but the second-class lost all their private property. The cargo, consisting of bale goods, remained under water. The same night the Admiralty agent proceeded with a cavalcade of horses and mu!es, taking with him all the mails and travelling without cessation, reached Oporto on the 22d Feb., at 6 p.m. The Bar being closed, the Admiralty agent determined to proceed to Lisbon by land, and horses and mules were laid on, by Consular assistance, for the dif ferent stages. He took his departure on the 24th, at 2 p.m., and arrived at Coimbra at 6 p.m. on the 25th. There he received most kind attentions from Mr. Buxton, of the gas works. On the 20th, at 9a.m., he proceeded by diligence and arrived at Lisbon at 8.15 on the morning of the 27th, and delivered the mails correct and un damsged. The British screw steam-ship Thalia, J. Wilson, master, was immediat e :y chartered, and on the Ist, at 7 a.m., left Lisbon with the ma , ls for Cadiz, and arrived at Gibraltar on the morning of the 4th. CONFIDENCE IN LORD PALMERSTON. Yesterday, at a Court of Common Council, the Lord Mayor gave an account of the manner in which Lord Palmerston received the vote of confidence lately agreed to by the Court. The LORD MAYOR said—l, accompanied by the Re membrancer, yesterday had the honour of waiting upon Lord Palmerton with the resolution of this Court ap proving the conduct of her Majesty's Ministers. I have much pleasure -in stating that we were most cordially received, his lordsbip expressing himself complimented by the vote of confidence recorded by the Court relative to the course pursued by her Majesty's Government on the Canton question. (Load cheers.) Yesterday afternoon the following declaration in favour of Lord Palmerston, numerously and influentially signed, was transmitted from Cheltenham to London:— TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD PALMERSTON. " We, the undersigned residents of Cheltenham, beg to assure your lordship that we have observed with feelings last on Mr. Uobden's motion relative to tnewar 1n ~uula, and we beg to express the full confidence we still enter tain in the wisdom, efficiency, and vigour displayed by your lordship's administration ; awl we trust that the appeal about to be made to the country will, in spite of the unnatural and factions coalition in the House of Com mons, result in more firmly establishing yon in that power which you have so ably wielded during a most trying and momentous period, in support of the best interests of this great country." It is again affirmed that, during the short period of hostilities between Great Britian and . Persia, the Rus sian Government obtained permission from the Couit of Teheran to establish military posts and block-houses in the passes of Bayazid, in order to secure the possession of the road by Mount Ararat. ASSAULTS ON Wolin' AND CIIILDLEN.—The following is the number of convictions at the various police-clurts of the Metropolis for aggravated assaults on women and children in the year 1856—viz., at Bow-street, 15 ; at Clerkenwell, , s9 ; at Greenwich, 25 ;.at Woolwich, 23 ; at Hammersmith, 23 ; at Lambeth, 24 ; at Marlborongh street, 27 ; at Marylebone, 11 ; at Southwark, 47 ; at Thames, 55 ;and at Westminster, 22. , GENERAL THOMPSON FOR BRADFoRD.—It will be seen from the intelligence given in another column that Gen. Thompson will be requestad to offer himselr as a candi date for Bradford. The electors of Bradford have done themselves honour by soliciting the services of the veteran advocate of free trade and reform. Gen. l'homp.on's claims are too well known to need any eulogy - of ours. There never has been any doubt as to the place ibe holds among the most enlightened and consistent refo rtuere of the age. No man living has attained to a betteir de fined position among the leaders of liberal opinion, and few men have laid their country under greater obligations. Sro Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright the praise of having act taeved she triumphs of free trade is justly due, but those emi nent men would be the first to acknowledge that they drew their opinions and arguments, in a great meat me, from the writings of General Thompson. If there , had been no " Catechism of the Corn Laws," there would not have been—we are hardy over,taiing the case— to Anti Corn-law League. It is a reflection upon t, tie Liberal constituencies of England, that such a ma should have been allowed to be absent for a single se I gen from the House of Commons, where his great exp 9- rience, and equally great accomplishments, qualify hie to be of signal service. We trust that Bradford wil I have the honour of rectifying this mistake. Howev ev great the claims of any local candidate may be, cannot weigh for a moment against those which r knowledged on all hands to belong to General Are ac , 1 0 1 3 .—Mancliater Examiner.

CORN EXCHANGE To-day's market was scantily supplied with English wheat, chiefly in middling condition. The attendance of millers was limited, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state. Compared with Monday, however, no change took place in prices. The imports of foreign wheat are 7,660 quarters. For most kinds there was only a moderate inquiry, yet late rates were supported. Fine malting barley was scarce, and in request, at Mon. day's improvement in value. Grinding and distilling sorts were firm. Fine malt was quite as dear as on Monday. Secondary kinds ruled rather dull. We were well supplied with oats, which moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. Beans and peas were firm ; but lour ruled dull. English.

The show of beasts in to-day's market was seasonably extensive, and in good condition. Most kinds moved off slawly, yet Monday's prices were supported. We were scantily supplied with sheep, which sold readily, at fall quotations. The few lambs on offer realised 7s to 7s 41 per Sibs. Calves were in moderate supply, and fair re quest, at Monday's currency. In pigs very little was doing. Mulch cows were dull, but not cheaper. Per Slbs to sink the offais. s. d. s. d.. B. 4.

In the Melbourne Legislative Assembly on Saturday, 29th November, the first topic that came on for discus sion was Mr. Conn Campbell's motion for 'openink the proceedings with prayer —a topic peculiarly ill-adapted for general reception by the legislative body as at pre• sent constituted. A smart debate followed the motion, in which all the speakers specially stated that prayer was desirable—a fact not deniable in a Christian 00 . r: try—the only difference of opinion being as to wh ether it could properly be used in a mixed aesetni?lY, w here. some of the members held opinions that wofotrillide their attending to join in it.
