The cotton ,market at Liverpool on Saturday
closed tamely and steadily, and prices were un-
changed. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales,
comprising 5,000 American (1,000 of which were
taken on speculation), 150 Bahia at 6d. to 61{1.,
200 Egyptian at 54d. to 70. ; 500 Surat at 3d.
to 4:1. ; and 140 Saa Lilatuls at ls. to Is. Ed. per
lb. The Railway share market was quiet, and
prices tend downwards.
In their last monthly circular Messrs. Sturge of
Birmingham state :

" With the exception of a few days' frost has con
tinned during the whole of the past month, and not
withstanding the sun is becoming powerful in the day
the nights are still so cold that vegetation has made
scarcely any progress, and the present is one of the latest
springs we ever remember. It has been ascertained
that on some light soils in places where the ground was
not covered by snow the young wheat plant has been
so greatly injured that the land will have to be either
resown or ploughed up, and a spring crop substituted ;
—but we believe that these cases are not numerous,
and there is nothing yet to show that the growing
crop is generally at all unpromising. The
supply of wheat from our farmers continues liberal, and
quite equal to the wants of millers, who generally pre-
fer holding as little stock as possible. There has not
been much fluctuation in price, though our present quo-
tations are rather lower than at the commencement of
last month. We have had an almost entire cessation of
foreign imports, and the drain upon the English crop has
been consequently so great that we think even in the
event of a speedy conclusion of peace with Russia, our
present prices will probably be nearly maintained until
after next harvest, since large supplies from the
Danube and the Black Sea could not arrive until
after that time. The last quotations from New
York are considerably above those current in this
country for fine wheat ; therefore there can be no pros-
pect of our receiving much grain from the United States
during the spring and summer, except it be at high
rates. In the Baltic the price has rather given way, and
after the navigation opens we may have some quantity
from thence, unless a demand should spring up from
France ; and there appears an increasing probability that
the remaining stock in that country will barely supply
their wants until the new crop comes to market."
The steamer with the United States mail has not
arrived yet.
In the advices from the Continent political
affairs are principally treated of. At Madrid the
Ministers were so much harassed that two or three
of them were most anxious to resign. The ques-
tion of allowing Protestant worship was still most i.)O
intolerantly treated, and if the Earl of Clarendon 10
should disapprove the course taken by Lord How- ,22
den the latter will resign. .M. Luzuriaga St.
had intimated that not more than twenty 8t5,,,
persons could be permitted to assemble together st.
for other than Catholic worship, but it was hoped 50St•
the Cortes would take a more enlightened view. 25
Lord Howden is said not to have been more suc- 1)0
cesful with regard to Cuba, where a card of resi- 2„
dence conferring certain privileges is only given to 20
foreigners professing the Catholic religion, and the .44.;
authorities at Madrid affirm that as this is a Colo- 50'
nial law they are unable to interfere. St.
16
Accounts from Vienna state that as the numbers 16
present at the Conference were on one occasion 8
found to be 13, Riza Bey, the Dragoman to Arif st.
Effendi was induced to leave. It is not said with 25
whom this superstitious feeling arose, supposing g
the story to be founded in fact. St.

In public securities this morning there has been
no particular change in prices, the speculators
remaining inactive, and being anxious to avoid
dealing until after the announcement of the amount
and form of the new loan. The political intelli-
gence from Vienna and other parts still excites
great uncertainty, and is to-day not so favourably
interpreted upon the whole. Still, with the loan
once negotiated, there are many who consider
an improvement in prices probable unless Rus-
sia decidedly breaks off, and the war continues.
Consols have been 90i to 90i for money, and 90a
to 91 for account. The New 3 per Cents. are 891
to 90 , and the Reduced Annuities, 89k to 89k.
India Bonds are 14s. premium ; Exchequer Bills,
ss. to 10s. premium, and the Bonds, 99/.

Foreign Stocks have been quiet, for the same
reasons as have influenced the English securities.
Turkish Bonds have fluctuated between 72i and
73. Spanish Three per Cents. aro firm at 361,
the Deferred at 17 to 181, the Passive at 4, and

THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—The twenty-sixth
public drawing, to determine the rotation of rights to
select plots on the society's estates in various counties,
took place on Saturday, the 14th inst.; Robert Steven,
Esq., a member of the executive committee, in the chair.
The Rev. Mr. Goodchild and Mr. Fothergill were ap-
pointed scrutineers. Forty-one numbers were extracted
from the wheel, and 18 numbers will be . also added to
the register of rights by date of membership, more than
1,600 shares having already acquired the privilege of
taking lots on valuable estates by seniority. Mr..Gru-
nersen, the secretary, announced to the shareholders that
the whole of the Old Ford Estate, Middlesex, bad
been sold by the society, and that premiums as high as 20
guineas per plot bad already been obtained by the fortu-
nate allottees. The secretary added that the allot-
ment of the estate in the M4vern-billt., Worcestershire,
and of the estate at Alford, in Leicestershire, would take
place In the 25th inst. ; thus carrying out the principle
on which the Conservative Land Society was fuunded,
of making purchases, in turn, in every county. The
27th public drawing was fixed for the 12th of May. No
less than 10,830 501. shares had been taken,- and the
executive committee were actively engaged in negotia-
tions for the acquisition of somb.important estates both
in town and country. In the meanwhile prepayations
were being made for the early distribution among the
shareholders of the estates at Tunbridge Wells, and
going on on the R )und-hill Park Estate, Brighton,
Hounslow ; and in consequence of the rapid budding
now
the third portion of the property would probably soon
be offered for allotment. Numerous applications having
been made to the board, the extension of the society's
operations load was wiger deliberation.
