tURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1859

By the City of Washington, three days later
news has been received from New York. She
brought $177,698 in• specie. The California
steamer had arrived at New York,with $1,300,000
in gold. The New York Stock Market was heavy,
and prices were lowering. The market for Rail-
road Shares was very unsteady, and prices, after a
temporary advance, were lower than the previous
week. Exchange on London was not active.
General business was on the improvement.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Wells and
Co., wholesale tea-dealers and grocers, of Bristol,
was held on Monday, at the offices of Messrs. W.
H. Williams and Co., public accountants, Exchange.
A statement showing liabilities to the extent of
£20,000 was submitted, which it was proposed to
discharge by a composition of 7s. 61 in the pound,
payable by secured bills at two, four, or six months'
date. ' The creditors, however, refused to accept
this offer, and called on Mr. Wells to sign a
declaration of insolvency. With this proposition,
however, Mr. Wells declined immediately to
comply, but took time to consider the course he
should adopt.

The following is from the Wine and Spirit
circular of Messrs. Edmund Brace and Co. : --" In
Wines there has 'been much more activity in our
market than for some time past. Several parcels
of Ports have changed hands, although at very
moderate rates ; good sound cheap wines are easily
placed, and a general disposition to increased
business is manifest. In Sherries there has also

The commercial letters from Paris state there are
as yet scarcely any signs of revival in the foreign
trade of France, either with England or other
countries, and that little likelihood exists of such a
result until the government shall have given some
more definite assurances. Previously to the Ist of
January there had been constantly increasing acti-
vity, especially in the transactions with Great
Britain, and every one was looking forward to an
intercourse more extensive and prosperous than at
any former period.
It is reported that the Peruvian Government
propose to contract in this country a new loan of
10,000,0001., redeemable within five years, the
whole of the guano revenue being mortgaged for
its repayment. The liquidation of the existing
foreign debt of Peru, 5,400,0001., is said to form
part of the scheme, and it is supposed that the
present stockholders will have the option of ex-
changing their securities for bonds in the new loan,
or of receiving payment on terms to be hereafter
adjusted.

The English Funds opened with firmness this morning ;
and although the subsequent feeling was rather less
favourable, the market on the whole has been steady.
The prices from Paris showed flatness, in consequence, it
is presumed, of the irritating tone of the speech of Count
Cavour, in tho • debate on the new Sardinian Loan.

The Pun& opened this morning with increased
firmness. •During the earlier part of the clay a fresh
advance of per cent. was quoted. A check was
subsequently given to the favourable tendency by. the
receipt of dull accounts from the Paris Bourse, and the
closing quotations were barely as good as those of
yesterday. In the other departments of the Stock
Exchange a tendency to improvement was likewise
observable in the morning, followed by dulness in the
afternoon. British Railway Stocks exhibited the chief
buoyancy, owing to the settlement indicating a further
absorption of stock. The Discount Market was rather

LIVERPOOL Conx.—Supplies since Tuesday are light, and
though the trade has been inactive, yet a moderate business has
been from day to day going on, and the stocks of grain rather
decreasing. As tie principal coin houses in this town are united
and bound together in what is called the corn Association, their
decree becotnes a fiat that they must each respect, consequently
the intolerable nuisance of the cental will continue until it is
their pleasure to revoke present standing orders, but.the gratifi-
cation is ours, of feeling assured that the obstructing influence of
this new standard of value will not extend beyond the limits,
of this port. The market was thinly attended, and the
trade quite of a retail character. As regards the value of all
articles, we make not any change in our quotations. American

NOTTixonA3l, Thursday.—There is a little improvement in the
lace trade. The German houses are doing better than for some
months past; still many, of the machine holders prefer com-
pletely standing to working on speculation: The stocks of all
kinds are consequently, extremely low, and should there be a
revival, good-prices must be obtained. There are a few pieces of

ich surplis-es th

plain nets, quillings, and spotted netS are in good demand. It is
,ald the failure of Mr. W. S. Moore will turn out not so well for
the creditors as was at first anticipated. There is a little
improvement in the brown net trade, and many of the machines
are working more hours. The hosiery trade continues •most
satisfactory.

BRADFORD. Thursday.—The demand for-combing wool of all

kinds still continues very lialited, and prices are, consequently,
on the decline, the bnyer obtaining a reduction to the extent of

for mils and charts, and prices are a shade in favour of the

In worsted. yarns :there is much less buoyancy than
there was. The export houses have for some time past been
very inactive. The orders given out some time azo are b

to lc ready for delivery, and there are no new orders now given,
The market, however, is remarkably destitute of stock. The
demand for home consumption is as yet unabated; but prices.

are beginning to.suffer l'ona the depressing influence of the
unsettled condition of continental affairs, although they have
been sustained till now with remarkable vigour. Cotton yarns

are not in brisk demand ; prices remain steady. The piece
