MAKING AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.---NOt many years ago,
a young man, at a seminary in one of the New England
States, was found guilty of disobeying the rules of the
school, as he had actually walked with a young lady, con-
trary to orders previously given, and perfectly well
understood! Mr. E--- was accordingly .called upon to
make acknowledgment before the school, or be expelled.
Whereupon the said Mr. E---- arose, and said :---" I
prefer by all means making an acknowledgement, to being
expelled from school ; and I acknowledge that I walked
with the lady mentioned, and with my umbrella protected
her from the storm ! I also acknowledge that bad I not
done so, she might have taken cold, and a serious illness, or
perhaps a consumption, might have been the result, in which
case I should have blamed myself, and my teachers knowing
the circumstances, might also have blamed me."--The studeit
resumed his seat with about as strong evidence of contri-
tion in his countenance as was in the confession, and when
a pro Per opportunity occurred, he inquired of one of the
teachers how near a-ypung lady a gentleman could walk,
and not break the rides of the school. "Well," said the
teacher, " walking a distance of six feet from a lady would
not be considered an infringement of our regulations:'
Soon after, Mr. E--- was seen walking leisurely on the
common, with a lady, he having hold of one end of a light
pole, measuring six 'feet in length, while his lady had hold
of the other end ! As they carried about the stick (which
in fact was no impediment to their enjoyment), they chatted
and walked and laughed, and walked and laughed and
chatted to their hearts' content, but Mr. E-- wtAS

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL,

LIVERPOOL, Thursday Evening.
The Liverpool Cotton Market has been very quiet
to-day, and prices have entirely relapsed to the point
at which they stood previous to Monday last, which
is fully an eighth of a penny per pound under the
prices paid on that day. The total business done
has been 6,000 bales, of which 500 were taken for
speculation and export.
The Liverpool Share Market has been quiet to-
day, and prices must be regarded as nominal, though
steady. The business actually done has been small,
and comprises-Eastern Counties, 101; Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 851 ; ditto, £9 Shares, 2d; London
and North-Western, one-eighth Shares, 1 15-16 d;
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 331, 33;
Midland, 931, 931 ; South - Eastern, 181 ;
Grand Trunk of Canada, 7 7-16. Only
a few transactions took place after official
hours, and they included-Caledonians at 73 ;
Lancashire and Yorkshires at 851, and Midlands
at 931. The final closing prices were : -
Blackburn, 111, 11.1 ; Chester and Birkenhead, 60, 61;

The London Stock Market has again been buoyant,
and in consequence of the scarcity of stock, quotata-
tions have still further improved. Consols, at one
time, were quoted: at an advance of three quarters
per cent., but they subsequently receded a little,
and closed at about a quarter per cent. higher than
the closing prices of yesterday. The• following were
the last quotations:. Consols for Money, 911, 915 ;

905 ; Banks Stock, 2/7, 220 ; Exchequer Bills) large

quiet all day, and with only limited business prices
must be considered as nominal. The closing quotations

The Grain Averages for the week have been pub-
lished to-day, and are as follows :-Wheat weekly,

Wheat sold, 97,240 quarters.
The second quarterly sales of Wool commenced
here to-day, in the Cotton Sales-room. Previous to
the commencement of the sale, some conversation
took place as to extra tare, in consequence of the-
imperfect packing of some foreign Wools. The-
quantity offered to-day was 1,840 bales, East India.
The bindings were tolerably spirited, and all the
lots were sold, with the exception of some few Peru
and Chili, which were withdrawn. Messrs. Bowes
Brothers' catalogue will be proceeded with to-morrow.
Messrs. Hughes and Ronald furnish the following,
;-" Our Public Sales commenced this evening,
consisting of 1,840 hales East India. There was a
very full attendance of buyers, but all quatities have
suffered a reduction, although not to the full extent
which many expeeted. Long-stapled descriptions,
however, may be quoted about IN per lb lower
for the better qualities, since our last sales in
January."

report

At the London Sales, to-day, Messrs. Rail and
Webster and Messrs. Dutton and Hincken have
sold. On the whole, the biddings were somewhat
spirited, and nearly the whole of the Wool adver-
tised changed hands, but at the opening decline.
The Conflict, from Melbourne, has arrived, with
43,5001. in Gold.

In the Discount Market the demand yesterday
was moderate. High rates are still demanded for
long-dated paper. Two or three weeks. hence, how-
ever, the Bank will begin to make the usual quarterly
advances on bills having as long as six months to
run. The demand at that establishment yesterday
was steady, but not pressing.,
According to the advices from Paris, the subscrip-
tions to the French Loan of £20,000,000 have
already exceeded £40,000,000., including a very
large number for only Iot. (say Bs.) of annual
income. The subscription offices are daily besieged
by a long queue of small investors anxious to pour
their savings into the lap of the state. Every-
body in any way connected with the government
is expected to take part in this new national
demonstration. Each subscriber who bona, fide
wishes to take, say /,000f. of Rente, is thus
impelled to apply for 4,000 f. or 5,000 f., by
way of providing against the reduction which is
sure to be made in the allottment. The sixty agens
de change, or licensed stockbrokers, of Paris, have
applied for an aggregate capital of some 1,360,000/.
The residue of the gold by the Great Britain and
Mermaid, from Melbourne, and by the Europa, from
New York, was taken yesterday for transmission
abroad. No bullion operations took place at the
Bank.

The Maidstone, which has now been at sea over
100 days from Melbourne, with 76,0001. in gold, was
spoken with on the 3rd inst.
juke_ 1 41,

took place to-day, and the closing quotations of Consuls
were one-eighth to quarter per cent. above those of
yesterday. A favourable effect has been produced by
the check to the drain of gold. In the other departments
of the Stock Exchange the tendency of prices was generally
satisfactory. In the Discount Market the demand was
moderate. High rates are still demanded for long
dated paper. According to the advices from Paris the
subscriptions to the French loan of £20,000,000 have
already exceeded £40,000,000, including a very large
number for only 10 francs, say 8s of annual income. Every-
body in any way connected with the Government is
expected to take part in this new national demonstration.
From St. Petersburgh exchange comes a shade firmer,
quotations being 331. A painful impression was introduced
into the Stock Exchange by the announcement that sixteen
more individuals, all dealers in Consols, have this day
ceased to be members of the establishment. This was the
precise form of the notification, their formal declaration as
defaulters being under the circumstances dispensed with.
The names comprise those of the parties who were com-
pelled, at the monthly settlement in Consols last week, to
compromise with their creditors, and who were allowed
until this day to settle all claims. —Daily News City Article,
Tranesday Evening,
The English funds have again been firm to-day, but
without any important movement, and there has been little
general business. All the principal discount houses are
indisposed to receive further amounts. at call, owing to the
extreme difficulty in finding employment for them for short
periods on good security. The failure was notified this
morning, in the stock exchange, of seventeen members. It
is said the dividends will average about 16s. in the pound.

Farb that the Emperor expects to be in Milan by the end
of the month, or the beginning of June at the latest. On
the London SOck Exchange,- according to, the Times, the
continued suspense between the hostile fcirces in Italy
excites each day new conjectures; and the fact of Prince
Windisgratz having been despatched froin Vienna, to
make, according to rumour, coneessibns to Russia which in
the eyes. of some diplomatists can. mean nothing else than a
consent to allow her to do what she pleses in European

The Times corrects its statement of Wednesday",-respecting

the highest that has been paid, and that the present rate is
not more than 25s to 325. The ports for which they have
been mostly chartered are Marseilles, Toulon, Algiers, Bona
Stora, Cagliari, and Corfu. There' is still a demand for
steamers for this purpose. The recent rise in Russian pro-
duce has been followed by a considerable re-action, and
