MONETARY AND COMMERCIAI

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING

There has been rather more business done in
the Cotton market to-day, but still the tone con-
tinues quiet at late rates. The sales amount to
0,000 bales, of which 3,000 have been taken for
speculation and export.
The quantity of Cotton now at sea, included in
New York list of 2nd July, amounts to 107,435
bales. The exports advised per Atlantic, amount
to about 16,000 bales more, which will be included
in the next New York price current:—

The Manchester Goods Market has been quiet,
but steady, and prices remain without change.
The Bank of England directors at their meeting
to-day have made no change in the official charge
for discount accommodation ; but, although the
minimum is still 41 per cent, the rates in Lombard-
street continue at four per cent, or a fraction lower.
At the present quotations the Continental
exchanges are firm, and if further remittances of
gold from Australia should arrive, and the exports
of gold to Paris, &c., diminish, the authorities in
Threadneedle-street will, no doubt, speedily an-
nounce a reduction of a half per cent. The arrival
of the Tyne with the West India mails, and
1,045.680 dollars in specie on merchants account,
is announced.

The public sales of colonial wool commence this
evening, and it is expected that about 70,000 to
80,000 bales will be offered durinr, the series.
The gold ex the Atlantic will be in hand today,
and will probably be sent to the Continent. The
continental demand, however, has become less
active. and thus it is hoped that a considerable
portion of the sum brought in by the Francis
Henty will be sent into the Bank.

A sum of about 12,000/ in gold was yesterday
taken from the Bank for shipment to Cadiz.
The first ordinary general meeting of the share-
holders of the City Bank was held to day, Sir
Robert Carden in the chair. The report stated
that new shares had been issued to the extent of
1,500 shares, at a premium of 81 per share, increas
ing the subscribed capital to 450,0001. After
transferring 10,0001 to the " reserved fund," allow-
ll on account of the building, and paying
(
)reliminary expenses (3,1181 17s 3d), and
making other necessary allowances, the directors
propose a dividend after the rate of Si per cent per
annum, free of income tax, and to carry forward
_ _

2,3671 is 6d to the "profit and loss" new account.
Since the 6th of August (the opening of the banh)
14,1271 1 Os 6d has been paid for interest on current
and deposit accounts. The report was unanimously
adopted.

The half yearly meeting of the London Joint
Stock Bank has also been held today, at which
the report was presented, showing the net profits
for the half year to have been 92,5861 18s 6d, from
which the directors made a dividend at the rate of
124 per cent per annum, with a bonus of 10s per
share, leaving a surplus of 25,0861 to be carried
forward to next account. The report was well
received, and thanks were voted to the directors.
According to an official announcement put for-
ward in Paris, the construltion of the railway
from Manage to Erquelinnes is proceeding rapidly,
and the line is to be opened for traffic in Sep-
tember next. A call of 100 fr, or 4/, is to be paid
by the 20th inst.
The Funds have improved today, but there is
still an absence of animation. The return of
favourable weather, and the large arrivals of specie
—more than a million sterling having been received
this week—have naturally imparted a firmer tone
to the market. At the close of the day Consols
were quoted at 95i 954.

The Foreign Stock Market has ruled very inac-
tive, and prices, with the exception of Turkish
Bonds, are rather lower.
The Railway Share Market has been moderately
active, and prices have shown some considerable
fluctuations. The annexed were the prices quoted
at the close of the day :—Caledonian, 61f 61-1. East
Lancashire, 86 88. Eastern Counties, 101 10f Great
Northern, 97 97i. Great Northern, A, 77 78. Great
Western, 62 62k. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 971 98
London and North Western, 1071 108. Manchester,

THE SEE OF DURHAM.—The Bishop of Manchester will
administer the affairs of the diocese of Durham until the
resignation of the bishop of that see, which will take effect
on the first of September, if the bill which • is now before
Parliament should pass into law during the present session
SUDDEN AND ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.-011 the 11th iIIBt.,
a man, named John Sparks, who resided in a cellar in
Hornby-street, was hurt on the Walton-road, and was taken
to the Northern Hospital, where he died yesterday.—
James Delany, a man who was engaged at Messrs. Mus-
pratt's works, was injured there yesterday morning, and
died in the Northern Hospital, at half-past one o'clock, from
the effects of the injuries*—Sarah Hamilton, who resided
at Boundary-terraca. Virgil-street, was found dead in her
bed yesterday morning. Inquests will be held on the above
oases this day.

STABBING.—Every day we have to record some case of
the knife; when will this fearful crime end? On Wednes-
day a girl named Mary Cameron, was charged before Mr.
Mansfield, with having stabbed another girl, named Rose
Anne Wilson. The affair took place in Chisenhale-street.
Mr. Sayers, surgeon of the Northern Dispensary, stated
that he examined the wounded woman, and found an
incised wound in the orbit and eye-ball, and another on
the temple. The wound on the eye was rather dangerous,
but he did not think ultimately that the woman would lose
the power of vision. Several witnesses proved that the
prisoner inflicted the wounds with a pen-knife, and she
was sent for trial.

THE SPANISH INSURRECTION

In addition to the information already published from
the telegraphic despatches, and that contained in the
letter of our own Paris correspondent, to be found in
another column, we learn from another despatch, dated
Thursday morning, that the fi;hting at Madrid lasted 22
hours. It corroborates the previous news, that the
insurrrection had been suppressed; a few bands only,
under the leadership of Pacheta, (the noted bull-fighter,)
only remaining to be overcome.

The National Guard had, however, been dissolved, and
called on to give up their arms to the Government.
It was said that a rising had taken place at Saragossa,
and that fears of a similar movement at Barcelona were
entertained.
