LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1857 MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening, The Cotton Market was very dull to-day. The offerings were large, and prices unsteady, The sales to-day were estimated at 3,000 bulos, includ ing 500 on speculation and for export. The decline in the week is fully It per lb., though a quantity could be had at a greater reduction. Messrs. Wright, jun., and Co., in their circular issued for transmission by the Persia, remark At the close of business, last week, our Cotton market presented a very quiet aspect, and the sales were again. daily becoming mare circumscribed. The present opened without any amelioration in the causes affecting commerce, and the gloomy feeling then prevailing has increased rather than diminished as time progresstd, aggravated by the continued adverse reports from Continental _Europe, and further me:eantile failures of magnitude. 'Tee position of the Bank of l.ngland is gradually and sensibly improving, and the anticipated arrivals of large amounts in specie tend to strengthen the hope of some relaxation in the rates for discount, whilst the maturing of drafts representing heavy sums, after such restricted accommodation during the past two months, can scarcely fail to place at the disp:isal of trade an increased supply of capital. The knowledge, however, that all produce now, mad for some time, coming forward, has to face a serious loss, helps to keep alive the distrust, and engenders great caution, nod in this state of perplexity returning confidence makes slow progress. Biased by current events, and with the proepeet of large supplies from America—whatever the ultimate extent of the crop maybe—spinners see no inducement to add to their holdiag., and buy only for immediate require. mints, nor dots it seem probable that this course will be deviated from so long as the trade continues so dep-essed. The burden of accumulating stock pressses heavily on importers, with money so stringent, and, as a general feature, all are willing -eellers at somewhat irregular value, the lower q ua liti es i n p ar ti cu l ar , w hi c h have been forced at nominal rates, and a good portion of the recent import is placed for immediate sale on landing, and realised at best prices obtainable. The tttal sales of the week amount to 20,300 bales, of which 13,560 are American. S culators have taken 1,640, and exporters 990, leaving 17,670 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for the same time is 54,223 bales of which 41,935 are American. The quantity known to be at sea from American ports is abaut 44,000 bales. PRICES TO DAY.

Kershaw and Jardine say- Our advises from the States during.the past week add little to what was previously known ; the Atlantic's news oat had produced some irregularity in prices at the Sou,h ern Ports, Although the thf63iency in receip's op to the present time amounts to upwards of 320,000 bales, when compared with last year, yet all accounts as to the probable yield of the present crop must be received with caution, as other reasons than that of the late reason may account for the falling off. Under the influence of the present state of the Money Market, the demand here continues extremely limited, nor can the Trade be expected to extend their operations so long as a ruinous rate of discount exiits. Holders consequently have accepted loner pricer, and the quotations which have again become nominal, are about aa. per lb. all round below those of Friday last.

Commercial matters were rather more encouraaa hag to-day, the large arrivals of specie during the past few days, the expected favourable Bank Returns this evening, coupled with a less demand for money, has had a cheering effect upon the Stork Exchange, and the Funds to-day were rather buoyant, and closed at, an advance of per cent The demand for silver for Hamburgh continues but as this causes an effiux of gold to England, this is looked upon with a favourable eye. Business in the Public Funds and Securities was very buoyant this morning, and quotations show an improvement of 1 per cent. on yesterday There is a strong disposition to operate for an advance, and the continnous arrivals of specie have a very beneficial influence. Consols opened at 91*, 92 ex-dividend. More recently, however, there have been 92 buyers, in consequence of a report that better intelligence had arrived from India. At two o'clock they were 91L 92.

The Manchester market has relapsed, and, with a more curtailed demand for both goods and yarns, the tendency of prices is against producers, who find, notwithstanding the short• time move ment, that stocks are accumulating on their hands. Liberal arrivals, an unusually warm tem perature for the season of the year, and the position of financial matters, have a controlling influence in the leading grain markets of the country, and all kinds of breadstuffs are lower in value. Wheat declined 2d to 34 per 701 b, flour is per barrel, and Indian corn is per quarter, with more eagerness to sell tlaan to buy. There was a better tone in to-day's market, but only a limited business transpired. Indian Corn lower is to 2s per quarter ; other articles more steady. The provisicn trade has been very dull through. out the week, but prices on the whole are well supported. In Beef; not more than half the usual business is being done. Sales on Pork are of a more retail character, and Bacon is almast neglec ted. The Gambia has arrived at Plymouth with the mails from the West Coast of Africa, and £7,200 in specie. We are requested to state that in the list of suspended houses, published in our paper on Thursday, the liabilities of W. Orr & Co., were erroneously stated to be very heavy, whereas they do not exceed 20,000/. Yesterday meetings of the creditors of Messrs. Sanderson, Sanderson and Co., Messrs Braadwood and Barclay, and Messrt Henry and Co., all Lon lon houses, were held. Respecting the former, it appears that the liabilities of the house on bills amounted on the 11th ult. to no less than 5,298,9971, of which 2.013,6901 has since run off Of the latter sum, the amount returned unpaid is 91,0981. Of this, 49,125/ is expected to be paid in full, consist ing of bills upon Messrs. Dennistoun and other houses, from which 20s in the pound are ultimately looked for. As regards the remaining 42,0001, the prospects are uncertain ; perhaps lOs in the pound may be realised. At the date of their stoppage the firm held bills endorsed by the Liverpool Borough Bank to the amount of 132,0001, of which 53,2001 ha's run off. A considerable portion of this has been secured, or will be secured, by promissory notes. The bills upon Messrs. Dennistouu amounted to 87,4001; the proportion of this that has run off is 75,400/, of which 14,4001 is returned unpaid, but is expected to be ultimately paid in full. It was mentioned that in 1848 Mr. Sanderson joined the firm, with 30,0001., and in 1855 Mr. Sanderson, jun., and Mr. Sandeman, jun., joined, with 2,0001. each, making the total capital brought in 34,070/. The profits from February, 1848, up to 1857, were 327,432/. The drawings of the partners diving the same period were 111,500/, and the losses by bad debts (including the estimated loss on the realisa tion of the standing assets). amount to 183,9981. Thus the capital and profits together were 361,4611 Deducting from this the partners' drawings and the losses, forming a total of 295,4991., a balance of 63,961/. is left. Adding to the latter sum the estimated value of the partners' private estates, viz , 40,000/,, we arrive at a surplus of 105,9611., as shown in the balance-sheet prepared by Messrs. Turquand, Youngs, and Co. At the meet ing of Messrs. Beoadwood. and Barclay's creditors, a statement of the liabilities and assets were sub mitted. After some discussion, resolutions were unanimously agreed to for the liquidation of the estate under the inspection of Mr. Kirkman Hodgson and Mr. Adolpus Kloekmann. The liabilities were estimated at about 212,0201, and the assets at 65,691/, but the result of the liquida tion will depend chiefly- upon the realisation of the property held by the firm in Porto Rico. It was incidentally stated to the meeting, that Messrs. De Castro, Lindegren, and Company, of Porto Rico, have authorised the payment of lOs in the pound, by three instalments, to the holders of their drafts. At the meet ing of Messrs. Henry's creditors, an offer was made to pay 7s 6d in the pound. After some discussion it was agreed to allow the firm one week from the present date, with a view to their ascertaining whether they can increase the offer to 10s. The creditors expressed their willingness to receive the latter sum by instalments, in 3,6, 9, and 12 months. Messrs. Turquand, Youngs, and Co., the accountants, estimate the total liabilities at 13,5331., and the assets at 6,745/. The price of bar silver was yesterday fixed at ss. 2gd.. per oz. standard, and that of Mexican dollars at 5s Oid. per oz In each case an advance of Hd. over the last printed price is shown. This is solely due to the exceptional deniand for silver for Hamburg, which continues unabated. The Bank of France return is completed to yesterday. It shows an increase of 418,2571. in the bullion ; a decrease of 3,889,461/. in the bills discounted ; an addition of 123,1141. in the advan ces upon railway shares ; and an increase of 25,0551. in the amount paid as premiums upon the purchase of gold. F)..vThe 305,0001. in Australian gold, ex the Tamar, reached London yesterday. About 25,0001. is known to have been purchased for exportation to the Continent, for an exceptional purpose. The whole of the residue is expeeed to be retained here, hut owing to the time required for melting it, only a limited proportion of this remmittanee was sent into the Bank yesterday.

No change In our paper, of yesterday, we mentioned that the Exclusively for CLOTHING BOYS from Six to Twenty Teen LEWIS & cOMPARY Raselagb-street. meeting of the shareholders of th:: 4 Western Bank of Scotland had ended in tome report of the committee of the sharehold: 4l . B being unanimously adopted. Since then we, have been placed in pos session of the particrilars of the report. It states that, although their labours were conducted with great rapidity, the examination was as strict as possible under the circumstances, and that confi dence is entertained it will prove substantially correct. In many cases they think they may have made an under-valuation. The deductions consist of 60,815/, for probable less from debtors' accounts (of which about 32,0001 is in connexion with firms recently failed), and 111.990/ from the general securities, including railway stocks, debentures, c., the chief part of which should properly, have been written off at former periods. The total capital, which was - originally 975,0001, but which appears to have been reduced to 745,1101., in consequence of shares for 229,8901. having fallen into the hands of the Bank," is after allow ing for accruing profits, &c , reduced only by 77,5761., the amount remaining, according to the valuations of the committee, being 667,533/. This abstract, although very favourable under the circumstances, indicates many points of bad bank ing—a large lock-up in railway shares and the practice apparently of making advances on their own shares ; but it seems to free the directors from everything like a charge of intentional mis- conduct The following are the latest quotations of Foreign Exchanges :—Amsterdam short, 11 18, to 11 18; Ditto three months, 12 2, to 12 3; Rotterdam ditto, 12 2, to 12 3 ; Antwerp ditto, 25 75, to 25 85 ; Brussels ditto, 25 75, to 25 85 ; Hamburgh ditto, 13 121 to 13 132; Paris short, 25 30, to 25 40 ; Ditto three months, 25 95, to 26 0 ; Marseilles ditto, 25 95, to 20 5 ; Frankfort ditto, 1211 to 122 ; Vienna ditto, 11 8, to 11 12 ; Trieste ditto, 11 10, to 11 14; Petersburg ditto, 322„ to 331; Madrid ditto, 401 to 472.

In anticipation of a rather extensive show of samples at our market to-day, we have had a fair attendance both of local and country millers, but as yet very few of the bulks of wheat recently arrived have been sampltd, and we had consequently only a limited choice of fresh lots in offer, particularly of choice quality; we have, however, an improved inquiry, and a goo.l extent of business transar ted, chiefly in middle and lower descriptions of red American ; these have fully recovered any depressien submitted to in the interval since Tuesday, and in many instances have exceeded that day's rates by Id to 2d per bushel; in the superior qualities of red, and in white wheats gene rally, we can, however, note no amendment of value.

"What do you think of whiskey, Dr. Johnson?" hic cupped Boswell, after emptying a sixth tumbler of toddy.

"Francois," said he, " the sea smells detestably ; it will poison me. Throw a little cau de Cologne into the water, or I shall be suffocated The attendant complied, and the dandy continued bathing. COLLIERY ACr CONVICTION.—On Tuesday last, Mr. Robert Poole, the manager of the Old Park Coal and Iron Works, belonging to Z Boteeld, Esq. was summoned before the magistrates at Wellington, by Mr. Wynne, inspector of mines, for neglecting to provide, at the Little Ityton Pit, near Lawley Bank, a steam gauge, indicator, break, and signals, as required by the general rules in the Coalmines Inspection Act, when a penalty with costs, was enforced for each offence.—The magistrate said they hoped this would have a salutary effect on the coal proprietors throughout the district.
