COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.
The Liverpool cotton market closed yesterday
with a heavy appearance. The sales amounted to
6,000 bales, including 100 Pernam and Maranham
at 61d. to 7d., 70 Bahia at sid. to 70., 300
Egyptian at sid. to 7d., 700 Surat at 31d. to 3id.,
and 50 Sea Island at ls. 2d. to ls. Bd. per lb.
Railway Shares tended upwards, but there was a
limited business doing.
The motion of Mr. Collier upon the subject of
the Russian trade comes on this evening, and is
looked forward to with considerable interest by the
merchants in the Russian trade, whose interests are
most seriously affected by the half-and-half policy
hitherto pursued, and who feel that a vigorous pro-
secution of the war would soonest restore peace.
As is pointed out by Messrs: Smith and Charles,
the total suspension of the export trade of the Czar's
dominions would speedily impoverish his exchequer
to a degree that must contribute to the restoration
of peace. With five millions of Customs' revenue
gone, and with the people deprived of a sale for
their produce, and the manufacturing establish-
ments of raw staples for their consumption, the
distress must continually increase, and this with the
withdrawal of the agricultural population for
military service will grievously aggravate. By an
inflexible blockade, and all possible hindrances
to the indirect or transit trade of Russia, the rate
of exchange would be forced down to a point that
would compel the exportation of gold, the paper
currency being no avail, a yard beyond the
frontiers.
An official return relative to the debt of the
United States completed to Jan. 2, 1855, gives
some interesting particulars. On the Ist of July,
1852, it was estimated that $29,550,000 of United
States stock was held by citizens of foreign coun-
tries, since which date half-yearly redemptions have
been made in the aggregate of $10,550,000, leaving
on the Ist; January, 1855, $19,000,000 in the
hands of foreigners. For interest on this last named
sum an annual payment of about $1,100,000 will be
required. This is still outstanding, 1,500 dollars of
the loan of 1843. The amount of the public debt
on the Ist July, 1854, was 47,180,506 dollars, and
5,301,675 dollars' worth having since been cancelled
the entire debt at the present time is 41,878,831
dollars. Since the 4th of March, 1853, 27,250,556
dollars have been redeemed.

The steamer Lancefield, for the Cape of Good
Hope, is detained. Letters will be in time if posted
on Thursday next.
The Euxine, with the remainder of the Indian
mail, may be expected to-morrow.
Letters for Australia by the post-office packet
Blue Jacket, must be posted in London on the
evening of the 3d proximo.
Business in the English Stock Market is very
quiet, and prices have varied but little. Consols
have realised 901 to 91 for transfer, and 91 to for
account. The New Three per Cents. have been
quoted 91i to 91/, and the Reduced 91f to 91g.
Exchequer Bills are 6s. to 95., and India Bonds at
12s. premium.

Foreign Stocks are inactive, and there is very
little alteration in the prices. Mexican Bonds,
however, are lower, being 20a to 20k. Turkish are
steady at 75a, and Chilian 6 per Cents. at 103.
Brazilian 5 per Cents. are 1014, and the Spanish
Committee's Certificate is 41. Dutch 24 per Cents.
are 614, and the 4 per Cents. 924.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 to 6 ; Mexi-
can, 201 to 21 ; Peruvian, 69 to 71; ditto Three
per Cents., 49 to 51 ; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
41 to 43 ; Russian Five per Cents., 98 to 100 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 87 to 89 ;
Spanish New Deferred, 17i to 18 ; ditto Three
per Cents., 36 to 36k; ditto Certificates, 4i to 5 ;
ditto Passive, 4 to 41.
The Mariquita Mining Company made its re-
turns for November last from the Marmato Mine,
12,339 dollars, at a cost of 11,553 dollars.
The prospects of the mine were improving. The
Santa Ana Mine yielded 313 tons of rough ere in
November. There was a great want of firewood.
There is heaviness in the prices of Railway
Shares, and the dealings are of a limited character.
As compared with the highest rates of yesterday
there is in several instances a decline varying from
103. to 15s. per share. The Colonial lines are
more in request, and the quotations are tolerably
well maintained, but the Foreign attract very little
attention.

Mining Shares are dull, but Copiapo are at full
rates. The Joint-stock Banks are mostly heavy,
the London Chartered of Australia have declined
10s., and also the Oriental, but the Union of
Australia are almost 10s. better. In the miscel-
laneous undertakings there has been but little
doing.

THE BALTIC.
KrEL, Feb. 16.—1 n a former despatch I men-
tioned that they are now preparing large quantities
of provisions at Hamburg for delivery to the Eng-
lish Government, in consequence of agreements
entered into for that purpose some time ago. I am
now informed that similar arrangements are in
progress at Dantzic, where large contracts for pork
have been made. In this case it is likewise to be
hoped that the Government will so manage as to
have the provisions, after a sufficient inspection,
delivered to the navy at that port, so that the delay
as well as the expense of transport to and from
England may be avoided.
It is further mentioned from Dantzic, that what
I had anticipated as probable as to the bringing to
that and other Prussian or neutral ports the pro-
duce of Russia, which would otherwise have been
sent to the Imperial ports of the Black Sea, is
likely to be realised sooner than I expected. Offers
aro already made to sell them on contract a consi-
derable quantity of wheat of that kind which has
hithethrbeen well known in the markets of the
Mediterranean and of Europe generally as "Polish
Odessa ;" and although for obvious reasons it may
not now be so designated, there can be no doubt,
from samples and otherwise, that the origin and
quantity is the same. If the supplies from this
source are to be confined to that article, neither
England nor France might perhaps object to their
finding their way to their ports, even although the
proceeds might go to replenish the treasury
of the enemy ; but if grain can so easily get
its destination altered, in consequence 'of the
blockade of the Black Sea ports, there can
be no doubt that other articles which they
may not be disposed to regard with equal in-
dulgence may have their route as conveniently
changed. Prussia has recently given evidence of
her power to prohibit the exportation of articles
from her dominions which have passed in transitu
through her territory. Shipments of Russian
copper, intended for England, have been stopped
as being " contraband of war."

I am told that inducements are held out by those
interested in the recently opened railway irroja
Flensburg to Tonning (which was construct4:oo,ras
Messrs. Peto and Co., to whom it has been leas,_-:.T
to have recourse to that conveyance for goods from
the Baltic to the North Sea, and which, if successful,
may tend to increase the revenue hitherto enjoyed
by Denmark from that source, and thus render
negotiations more certain.

There has been another heavy fall of snow, and
two mail 6 are due from England.

FRANCE.

The following is au extract of a letter received
from Paris this morning :
"Is the Emperor really going to the Crimea ?"
"Has Count Fialin dePersigny succeeded in divert-
ing the Imperial mind from that unmeaning project ?"
"Is his Majesty going, or is he not ?" These are the
questions asked by every one you meet, high and
low, gentle and simple, rich and poor ; and what-
ever be the difference of views that may exist on
other points among these different classes, on this
there is but one opinion—that of strong condemna-
tion. Some may disbelieve the fact, but all are
unanimous in reprobating it. Neither as the
Sovereign of a nation, as a statesman; or as a
General, is theze any pretext for such a
journey. If the Emperor's presence with the
army on the field of battle, where the fate of
an empire was to be decided, was likely to add
to the chances of victory, from the prestige of his
name, one could understand the generous impetuo-
sity, or the high resolve which prompted the ad-
venture. But the siege of Sebastopol is rather an
affair of engineering ; who can say that it will not
be taken before he arrives ? Who can assure us
that even the magic of his presence may fail in
reducing that formidable stronghold ? If' the mo-
ment of the attack be near at hand, the troops will
not mount the breach with less daring than they
stormed the heights of Alina, Balaklava, and Inker-
man, where no Emperor was present. His glory can
not be increased by-his being merely an eye-witness;
and the consequences even to him might be pregnant
with evil in case of discomfiture. By witnessing from
some distant height the capture of Sebastopol, the
Emperor can hardly believe that he will be reckoned
among the great Generals of the age, and his pre-
sence will not give more force to his Government
at home, or impart to it more prestige abroad,
than if ho received the news of the success
of his arms without stirring from the Tuileries.
It is, however, still uncertain whether his
Majesty will persist in what profane Republicans
would call a " wild-goose chase," but to which
others, out of regard for Imperial dignity, give the
more modified terms of a " swan-hunt." I am told,
and I hope it is true, that since yesterday the ques-
tion has, if anything, rather lost than gained
ground, and it is Whispered that, iu a letter from a
great personage in England, the matter is amicably
discussed, but strongly disapproved. It is hoped
that a good effect will be produced by it. In the
meantime the Ministers themselves, or certainly
some of them, continue in rather an amusing state
of perplexity. They cannot say whether the
Emperor will or will not go. They fervently pray for
the latter ; and they trust to the chapter of acci-
dents, or to some superior influence in their favour.
A. journey to Vienna; to Berlin, to the shores or
the waters of the Baltic, would not be much
minded ; bit that distant and mysterious region
of the Crimea inspires misgivings, and makes the
spirit, whether it will or no, apprehensive or pro-
phetic of evil. All that can be said is that though
the journey is as much talked of as ever, yet there
still lingers a slight hope that it will not take place.
An aide-de-camp of M. de Wedell left Paris for
Berlin yesterday. It is believed be is the bearer
of the Treaty with Prussia, to be submitted to his
Majesty. With regard to its signature I have
learned nothing new of a positive kind. But I may
again repeat that it is considered in official quarters
as an affair definitively arranged and concluded ;
and it is not considered probable that, all vacillating
as ho has proved himself, the King will disavow the
work of his confidential agent.
