MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. THURSDAY EVENING. There was again a good demand for Cotton to-day, and prices were well maintained. The sales were about 10,000 bales, including 3,000 on speculation and for export. The Liverpool Share Market was rather more active to-day, and at the close a slight advance had been established in prices. The Market for the Public Funds and Securities to-day opened at a rise of 2to r i f per cent., owing to the pacific nature of the arrangements said to be entered into by the French Government, and noticed in this morning's Paris Moniteur. Afterwards, however, there was a pressure to sell at the advance, and a slight reaction took place, Consols closing at 544 to 95 for both Money and the Account, being about -1 higher than at the same hour yesterday. The New Threes were quoted at 951 to 95 1 „. The demand for Money this last day or two has not been so active, yet the current rate of interest and discount has been. well maintained. The decrease in the demand is attributed to some extent to the appre hension that, if the demand were continued to the same extent as has been the case for some days past, the directors of the Bank of England would imme diately advance the minimum charge for discount and interest to 3 per cent. per annum. The recent Board of Trade returns, however, show a consider able decrease in the commercial activity of the country; and although it is undoubtedly the fact that the de -stand for Money has been active for some weeks past, it is considered that no small proportion of the accom modation obtained has been with a precautionary view, rather than to meet the absolute requirements taf the legitimate commerce of the country. The London Railway Share Market has been more active to-day, and with sales to a moderate extent. Prices at the close were J r , to j per cent. higher than - yesterday. London and North-Westerns, 941 to 951; East Lancashire, 84 to 85 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, ; Midland, 1041 to 105. Messrs : Hughes and Ronald, in their circular of this evening, allude to the sales of Wool in Liverpool in the following manner : "At the opening public sale . yesterday, 785 s h ee t s E ng li sh (chiefly skin) were offered, which went rather below previous rates. There were about 400 bales East India, brought about Id. per lb. advance on last sales' rates, and at the sale to-day this advance is well supported, particularly on Whites."

"In the event of this last view being entertained, we should recommend, that the present tower be substantially repaired and used as a bier-house and bell-tower for the cur few and funerals, leaving a portion :of the adjacent walls on the north and east angles as natural buttresses. This, sheltered with the ivy, would at once become a most pic turesque object applied to a legitimate use." By order of the committee, the design thus shadowed forth in the yeport was drawn out and at length decided on ; the working_ drawings were prepared, and building opera tions commenced about the middle ot:May last year, erected in the geometrical decorated style.

Mr. Cobb then endeavoured to show that the defendant did not break the chronometer, but that it was broken during the struggle betwe en the m, and that the defendant had a right to retain it, as he had a !ien on it.

In answer to the magistrates the complainant aid that the damage done to, the chronometer would amount o between S 7 and £B. They imposed a penalty on the efendant of 40s, and costs.

The- CHAIRMAN said the usual course was to• leave the matter to the Marine Committee: Mr. SMITE{ said there was an excursion on the river a few days ago, when the members of the board were invited by the Harbour Masters, and only three members attended. If no more interest was taken in these excursions, he did not see the use of continuing their annual excursion. The OnAinmAN said, he and several of the members were in London on business, and were prevented from joining the excursion, a s ' th ey had intended.

Mr. SMITR seconded the motion for the purpose of having the matter discussed. He thought there was a great deal of truth in what Mr. Boult stated. That they would obtain a dcep-water entrance was at this moment a matter of opinion. It was the opinion of their engineer that they would not get it. He considered the deep -water entrance would be a failure. A ,somewhat e ndeavouring. in --- b ..,,teu atscussion ensued on the subject, in which the c hairman'stated that the board had no idea of any:waylo:get out of their liability. in re ference to the works at )3irkenhead, and he thought no steps should be taken by them to -have the plan altered. If it was at all, desirable that an alteration should be made, that board should not be,the first to ino:ve:ii it, lest it would be thought that they wanted to get . rid of their liability. Mr. BOULT, finding that the sense of the board was against his motion, consented to withdraw it.
