Our SHARE-MARKET has been rather more active,
and the tendency of prices has been towards improve-
ment. This has been more decidedly evident at the
settlement now in progress, stock having proved rather
scarce, and cantangoes being lighter than for some
time past. The market, however, this evening again
shows an appearance of reaction. Local stocks,
especially insurance shares, are in demand, and their
prices show an improvement, owing to purchases for
investment. We annex this day's prices ---Edinburgh
and Glasgow, 25+; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 75 + 4
London Stock, 921 2 *; Sheffield Stock, ; Midland
Stock, 641 38 4 - South Eastern, 171 3-161 ; Dutch
Rhenish, 9-16 d; Royal Insurance, 1 15-16 p.
Corrox.---The market has been influenced during
the week by the uncertainty which existed as to
monetary affairs, and though the accounts from
America had a tendency to strengthen prices, they
had very little effect until towards the close of the
week, when, owing to the more confident feeling, the
demand began to improve and stocks were less freely
offered. The sales for the week, up to Friday,
amounted to 38,810 bales, of which 1,400 were taken
on speculation, and 6,710 for export, leaving 30,700
for the trade. To-DAY, the accounts by the Pacific
were received, and the Mo ney-market being easier,
they produced a firmer tone. The sales reached 12,000
bales, including 3,000 for speculation and export, and
prices of American were fully id. higher than on
Friday. The following is a comparison of present
rates with those of the corresponding period last
last year :---

PRoDucE.---There has been an improved demand
for Sugar, and prices have advanced 6d. per cwt. In
Coffee, no change. Tea, in fair demand both by the
trade and for speculation. Rice, more active. Rum,
in good request. Palm Oil, in good demand. For
Tallow, full prices have been obtained for all deserip.

Noirixone3l.—Since last report nothing worthy of remark
has occurred, and both the hosiery and lace trades are in a
more healthy state than might naturally be expected from the
wonderfully great demand for bullion unceasingly taking
place from this country to continental Europe. The cotton
market is still in a critical and unsettled state.

LEICESTER.—We cannot give any improved report of the
state of trade here. Great care is still exercised in making
up, and as orders are finished the workmen become unemployed.
Prices of yarn, &c., remain unchanged.

THE NEW COMMANDER-IN: CHIEF.

RECAL OF GENERAL SIMPSON.

TirotTgit ilitrercutsersions are given resEectinn. the recal of
that he has been superseueu—an tne ua y
the main fact of his displacement. The Herald, Daily News,
and Advertiser state that General Codrington is to be his
successor.

The Cflobe says the Times has only been making use of
its knowledge of General Simpson's state of health to pass off
for being well-informed beforehand. " General Simpson is
not recalled, nor is there any intention of recalling him ; but
he labours under physical disability which unfits him for ac-
tive service, and we should not be surprised to hear that he
had made such an intimation on the subject as to induce the
Government to make arrangements for providing a successor
to him in the Command-in-Chief in the Crimea. These
arrangements are not at present matured, and though the
name of nearly every officer commanding a division has been
mentioned, we do not believe that any decision has been come
to regarding the next Commander-in-Chief."

The Times of yesterday says, it is now certain that General
Sir William Codrington is to succeed to the command of the
British army in the East, and a few days may probably bring
us news of important operations directed by him. He is 50
years of age. The Times considers the appointment an ex-
cellent one.
