operations of the new society will be analogous to
those of the Credit Mobilier, to which it may prove
a formidable rival, the more especially as its mana-

the mistakes of that establishment. It is an import-
ant feature, however, that the power of speculating
on the Bourse, enjoyed and so greatly abused by the
Credit Mobilier, is withheld from the new, society,
the progress f which, with sound management,
may be of a much more solid and beneficial character.
The gloomy character of the financial advices by the

The kngli,sl). Funds opened to-tiny at 4 fraetional decline

from the final prices of last evening, and have since
shewn uninterrupted dulness. The supply of money in the
open market seems adequate to the demand. There is
usually some pressure at the conclusion of this quarter of
the year, but there is no prospect of any advance in the
Bank rate. As to the dividends upon the market, some
persons are even disposed to expect an increase of ease.
Any movement in that direction can hardly last long, in the
face of the Indian' finance question, the Russian loan, and
the certainty of a rapid augmentation of monetary derange-
ments in France, Austria, and Sardinia. Respecting Indian
finance, there would not be the slightest ground for dismay,
if any prospect could be entertained of that branch of the
Indian Administration being placed in efficient hands.—

LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET,

Colonial, &c.: We have no change to notice in the Sugar

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-

ltAncit 31

There has been a good demand for cotton to-day, but with
free offerings prices are barely so firm. The sales—including
200 Pernambuco, 84d to 9d ; 520 Bahia, 74d to 7 d ; 700
Egyptian, 80 to 9d ; and 500 Surat, 51-4 d to 6d—are re-
ported 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 ate on speculation and
for export.

THE LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET.
(Review for the Month of March)
Some sales have been made in the late arrivals of Austra-
lian at rather higher prices, as also in fine Buenos Ayres,
which are still in good request. For East India there is a
good demand ; sales have been made, in second hands, at a
shade above public sale rates ; but the small stocks in im-
porters' hands are kept for our next public auctions, which
will probably take place towards the middle or latter end of
the present month. Considerable sales have been made in
Peruvian sheeps wool, chiefly for export. For Alpaca there
has also been more inquiry, and some large parcels have
found buyers at medium quotations. The imports from the
Mediterranean and Levant continue very limited, our pre-
sent range of prices holding out no encouragement to im-
porters. Egyptian has been in fair demand, realising rather
higher rates. Turkey, Smyrna of all descriptions, from that
quarter, have been neglected, and Mohair is in less demand.
Donskoi of good combing quality saleable but scarce, and
inferior sorts heavy of sale. The fine qualities of Portugal
and Spanish inquired for, but no stocks ; other sorts for the
moment neglected. English wools, particularly combing
skin and fleece, have experienced some improvement both
in demand and price, but Scotch wools are quiet and with-
out alteration.

MANCHE!

STER CORN MARKET,

MARcH 31

Markets slenderly attended, and little disposition for
business. Choice samples of English wheat sold at full
rates, being in limited supply, but other kinds are neglected.
Flour scarcely enquired for; millers'and ,factors not being
disposed to take less money. Oats and oatmeal, little doing.
Beans and Indian corn sold slowly at previous prices.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.-141-Ancx 31.
All new hops continue in good request, partly on specu-
lation, and the show of samples very moderate. Fine
yearlings are held for an advance. The inquiry for other
kinds was heavy.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET—.

moderate, there was a very slow trade. Beef, mutton and

Mn. ROEBUCK'S AMENDMENT. -- The Daily Hews does not
regard Mr. Roebuck's amendment with much favour. Just
as the house is preparing for a division, he steps in to
postpone an issue, and seeks to replace the positive and
practical engagement of Lord John Russell's resolution by
a pledge which is merely formal.
To SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS. —A most profitable
article of export, to warm climates especially, are the Self-
cleansing Charcoal Filters, patented by Messrs. Saunders
and Co., of 16, Parker-street, Liverpool—in fact they are
invaluable wherever there is bad water. S. and Co, allow
4 liberal discount on export and wholesale orders.
