MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Cotton Market continues steady, but the
demand has not been so active, but holders con-
tinue to offer their stocks but sparingly, and prices
are without change. The sales to-day amount to
12,000 bales, 3,000 of which have been taken on
speculation and for export.
The Liverpool Share Market has been firm and
steady throughout the day, but the amount of
business done has not been large. Prices closed
steady at the following quotations :-Aberdeen, 131

The foreign mails have not yet arrived,
account of the boisterous state of the weather; con-
sequently, the usual reports of the Continental
Bourses are not at hand.
Telegraphic accounts from Constantinople state
that the Ottoman government has decided upon
permitting the entry of Russian merchant vessels
into the Bosphorus.
The Royal Mail Steam Company have issued
circulars to their shareholders, inviting them
to be present on board one of the company's
boats to witness the approaching naval review at
Spithead, which it is expected will be an unpre-
cedentedly grand affair.
A meeting of the shareholders in the Royal
Swedish Railway Shares is fixed for the 17th prox.
for the following purposes.
Ist. To consider and adopt a scheme for the raising of
further capital, either by loan or by the creation of,
preference shares, and to make such alterations as may
be necessary in the existing rights and interests of share
and obligation holders in the company.
2. To make such alterations in the statutes, rules, and
regulations of the company as may
.be requisite for the
above objects.
3. To adopt such changes as may be necessary in the
direction and administration of the compay.
According to a circular from Messrs. Schlasser &
Co., of St. Petersburg, issued by Mr. H. Willis, it
appears that the supply of tallow thence was
expected to be 103,000 casks, being 10,000 casks
less than last year. The price was 411 to 431 per
ton, on board. Of hemp the supply was not
expected to amount to more than 800,000 poods,
being only 13,000 tons, but of very good quality;
price about 261 to 271 per ton for clean. Of flax
and tow about 900,000 poods are expected, or 15,000
tons, offine quality ; price about 311 lOs for 12 head.
Of linseed about 320,000 chetwerts are expected,
being about 224,000 quarters, and the price is 32s
to 40s per quarter. Of wheat about 340,000 chet-
werts are expected, being 228,000 quarters, and
the price is 40s to 45s per quarter.
The Funds showed a little flatness this morning,
but soon acquired increased strength, and closed
to 1 per cent higher than yesterday, the final
quotations being 931 to 931. The steady invest-
ments of the public continue to afford the chief
support to the market, and suffice to counteract the
depressing influence which is exercised by the
dearness of money and by the anticipation that
another government loan will be required during
the present quarter. In most departments of
Stock Exchange more elasticity is observ-
able now that the arrangements incidental
to the settlement have been completed.
The most striking feature is a further rapid rise in
several descriptions of French Shares. There was
a good general demand for money to-day, but in the
Stock Exchange the rates were lower, the excep-
tional pressure occasioned by the settlement
having subsided. At Paris to-day the Three per
Cent. Rentes closed at a rise of 1 to 3 per cent.
The Corn Market to-day was quiet, at Monday's
decline. All the country markets held yesterday,
report a decline. Great interest is excited in Paris
by the competition, for the concession of the great
Transatlantic line of steam communication.
No less than seven associations are applying for
this privilege. With the conclusion of the settle-
ment the Market for Railway Shares has assumed
a firmer appearance, speculators for higher prices
conceiving that they have fair scope for their
operations during the fortnight which will inter-
vene before the next settlement comes on.
Most of the heavier securities advanced 1 to
per cent to-day. The following are the closing

DEATH or EARL COWPER.—We deeply lament to an-
nounce the sudden and premature death of Earl Cowper,
which took place at. Maidstone on Tuesday evening,
while the noble earl was on his way from town to his
seat at Wingham, Kent, of which county his lordship was
Lord-lieutenant. The deceased nobleman, who was
born in 1806, was the eldest son of the fifth Earl Cow-
per, by Emily Mary, daughter of the first Viscount
Melbourne, (now Viscountess Palmerston), and is the
eldest brother of the Right Hon. William Cowper,
president of the board of health. The late earl married
in 11333, Lady Anne de Grey, daughter of the present
Earl de Grey, and has isssue, Viscount Fordwich, (now
Earl Cowper,) and other children. The immediate cause
of death, is said to be disease of the heart.

LADIES' COLLEGE, BLACKBURNE ROUSE.— A lecture
on Modern German Poetry was given at the college
yesterday, by Dr. Carl Retslag, the professor of the German
lang nage.

THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.-011 Saturday, in
accordance with the recommendation of the Lords of the
Treasury, the whole of the employes of the Post Office
received an advance of wages.
We have been requested by one of the Overseers of
Everton to state that the church rate which is inserted in
the poor rates bill, was put in without their knowledge, or
that of the superintendent assistant overseers, and that it
has been ordered to be struck out.

FATAL ACCIDENTS.—On Tuesday evening, Anne Gleave,
the wife of a labourer, went with her husband's tea to where
he was working, at the south end of a pile of timber, and
sitting down where some men were at work, a piece of
timber fell and killed her on the spot.—Edward Brown
was killed yesterday, in Burlington-street, by a lorry passing
over him.

LIVERPOOL ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCH2EOLOGICAL
SOCIETY.—The usual periodical meeting of this society was
hold last evening, in the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street.
Mr. Hay, the president of the society, took the chair.
• There was a very large attendance of members present.
The secretary read the minutes of the last meeting, and
announced the following donations to the society since the
last meeting :—The Land 'and Building News, the Literary
Gazette, the Irish Reporter, Nos. of the publications of the
Architectural Society for 1855. The secretary then read the
report, of the architectural competitions committee, the
contents of which were to have been discussed on th's
occasion. Some conversation then ensued as 'to the best
means of discussing the report, and on the motion of Mr.
Bennett, seconded by Mr. Froilsham, it was agreed that
the report should be printed and circulated amongst the
members of the society, and that a special meeting be
convened for Wednesday next, to take the whole subject
into consideration. Mr. G. H. Rollett then read the third
of a series of papers on "the Wallasey Embankment,"
which was listened to with great attention, after which a
vote of thanks was accorded to that gentleman, and the
meeting separated.

We regret to announce the death, in his 68th year, of the
Right Hon. Colonel Dawson Darner, 0.13., some time M.P.
for Portarlington, and afterwards for Dorchester.
INCENDIARISIC—Information has been received by the
Metropolitan Police of the total destruction of several wheat
stacks, ricks of hay, and hay sheds, supposed to be set on
fire by incendiaries, at Chatham, High Leigh, and at
Hendall.
RUMOURED ABDICATION OF KING LEOPOLD.—The Belgian
journals are openly alluding to the abdication of his Bel-
gian Majesty. Is it a canard t Very likely. Yet there
are circumstances that lend to the rumouur a certain air
of probability. His Majesty is a Protestant, and ultra-
montane reaction is dominant and rabid in Belgium. The
Duke of Brabant, the heir apparent, is a bigoted Roman.
Catholic, and has lately been courting public attention to
an unusual degree. If Leopold resigns the Crown of Bel-
glum to young'and less tolerant hands, the friends of free-
dom in Europe may have reason to regret his Majesty's
abdication. The proscribed will see the rights of refuge
circumscribed still more stringently, and the Belgian
people will feel more sensibly the pestilent rule of Jesuit-
ism.—Morning Advertiser.
COURAGEOUS CONDUCT IN HYDE-PARE.—On Sunday
afternoon, whilst the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor was
walking along the banks of the Serpentine, a child play-
ing on the bank with a dog unfortunately fell into the
water. A young gentleman who was passing at the time
instantly plunged in and rescued it, and it was conveyed
to the Royal Fi umane Society's receiving-house. A mob
soon assembled round the young man, and among them
the Lord Mayor, who asked the name of the courageous
youth, which he declined to give, and walked away in
his wet clothes. His lordship ordered the incident to be
entered on the society's books, so that the young man
may receive a medal if he should wish for it.
AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS BlLL.—This bill has been
brought down from the Lords. It requires the Poor-,
law Board every year to take measures to obtain from every
occupier of two statute acres of land (and above) in England
and Wales a return, referring to the Ist of July in each year
of certain particulars of information, including the produce
of the farm and stock, &c. Abstracts of these returns will
be published periodically by the Board of Trade. Any oc-
cupiers neglecting to fill up the blank form which will be
left at his house for the purpose, may be summoned before a
justice of peace, by whom the required particulars will, so to
speak, be extorted ; the expenses of this proceeding will, of
course, be paid by the occupier. Should the occupier refuse
to obey a summons, or fail to give all particulars on exami.
nation before the justice, the latter may issue a warrant
authorising the collector of returns "to proceed to obtain
by other means the said particulars of information" the
,4 other means" including a personal inspectton by the
collector of lands and premises of the refractory occupier.
A fine of £2 will be imposed on occupiers neglecting to,
make, or making false returns. The bill awaits the approval
of the House of Commons.
MAILS FOR SWEDEN.—lnformation having been received
that the steamship London, .under contract with the
Swedish Government for the conveyance of mails between
London and Gothenburg, is about to re-commence running,
mails will be made up at this office for transmission by vessel on each occasion of her departure from Lon-
don. Letters forwarded by this route will be 'liable to

Mr. J. FITZGERALD was here introduced, and took th

Mr. HORSMAN observed that when the tax was imP:'sect ija
