In reply to a shareholder, the Beiretary stated that the

twenty-seven tons—would reali.43; the tweuy.six tons
being alreecberepor ed Bold for £399 -osa.
After some further enquiriea and observations compile

Mr., Barker, : seconded by. Mr. Heath, and unanimously
carried, that the report snd aeeounts, as issued to the pro-

A Shareholder was happyrto And .517., Barker elected
upon the committee, as that gentleman held 1,000 .of the
shares, and was a thoroughly practical miner.
The meeting was then made special, _for the purpose of
making a call of 2s. 6d per share, which, after some dis-
cussion and explanations, was unanimously adopted, upon
the proposition of Mr. Langton, seconded by Mr. Heath,
such call being payable to the secretary or the Royal Bank
of Liverpool; on er before the Rith day. of June.
A cordial vote of thanks was then • moved, in very
plowing terms, to the committee ands mlitors, and especially
to Hand; lot the care ,and attention with which the
unclertilking had been conducted during the past twelve
months. -
Mr. Heath honed the bosrd would mark their apprecia-

substantial manner than by mere thanks, and whatever
the committee should do wouiJr, he felt sure, meet the
approbation of every shareholder.

111 a. COBDEN AND THE CA.Tnonws.—We are much
pleased to observe that the Catholic electors of Leeds have
presented an address to Mr. Cobden expressing their
grateful sense of his bold and manly support of the great
principles of religious and civil liberty, and their regret
at the temporary loss of his services in Parliament. Mr.
Cobden, in his answer, takes no more credit than is his
due for his steady and consistent opposition to the Eccle-
siastical Titles Act, and says that his views respecting a
recourse to the civil power to check the free exercise of
religious faith remain not only unchanged, but strengthened
by reflection and experince. Ireland hasjust returned to
parliament, many men who less represent her sentiments
and interests ; and without any injurious reflection on the
honest consistency of many of her representatives, there is
trusted, firmly and and unflinchingly, to earl._

The improvement in our Cotton Market noticed in our
circular advices of Bth instant, per Niagara, has been fully
supported during the present week, not so much owing to
the confirmed accounts of frost and replanting in the
growing districts, as well as continued large deficiency in
the relative receipts at the American shipping ports, though
each of these have doubtless had considerable iufluence, as
to the growing feeling in favour of an easier state of
monetary affairs at an early date, which, combined with a
more genial temperature in the weather, induces greater
encourwment of future prosperity, and imparts confidence
to present transactions. Our neighbours in the man nfac-
tarinz districts have scarcely yet felt the importance of these
brighter prospects; but as they become more manifest; and
approach nearer realization, their effect must tend in the
same direction. Arrivals are now coming is freely, and with
increased supplies and improved selection,' more choice
will shortly be at the disposal of the trade, and which
usually causes increased activity. Meanwhile the daily
operations are characterised by much firmness on the part
of holders, and though not quite so extensive towards the
close as in the early part of the week, a fair demand is
experienced, and prices of the current qualities ars ad-
vanced about -18 d. per lb. The total sates of the week
amount to 51,390 bales, of which 32.240 are American.
Speen' ators have taken 6,930, and exporters 5,750, leaving
38,710 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for
same time is 69,307 bales, of which 41,619 are American.
The quantity known to be at sea from American ports is
about 238,000 bales. _

The funds have shown considerable heaviness
to-day, owing to an extrordinary pressure for
money on the Stock Exchange. Prices closed
about 316 lower than yesterday. It is difficult to
account for this extraordinary demand, as there are
no special payments at the present time in the
shape of calls, &c. Consols for money were
quoted at noon at 941 and 94, and closed at 938 to
94. For money the closing price was 941 to 941
after touching 941.
