CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.
The cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday
closed with considerable animation, and prices of
all kinds were extreme. The sales were estimated
at 12,000 bales (including 1,000 for export, and
2,000 on speculation), comprising 200 Pernam and
Maranham, at Md. to 6id ; 300 Egyptian, at
6d. to 71d. ; 2,500 Surat, at 3d. to Od. ; and 50
Sea Islands, at is. to ls. 14d. per lb. The Railway
Share Market closed heavily, at rather lower
prices.

The corn trade in Mark-lane is firm to-day.

Advices from Constantinople state that, in con-
;sequence of the news from Reni, there had been a
rise in the price of grain at Constantinople. The
Austrian Internuncio, however, had declared that the apprehensions entertained were exaggerated,t 25
and that the conduct of the Russian commatdant st
at Reni had been disavowed, so that it was hoped 80.
-the navigation of the Danube would be permitted St

A journal entitled the Eastern Press, and pub
lished probably at -Constantinople, asserts that
Prince Menschikoff had died at Perekop. The
roads having improved, several Cossack, regiments
had arrived at Perekop ; but at present could not
otter the Crimea, the roads having been rendered 1.2
ezo bad by the snow and wet as to need extensive 50
repairs, and which they were undergoing. The 163
Russian government has appointed a pope or priest 561
to every 100 men in the army, and he will 194
carry at their,head as a standard the double cross 13
of the Christian Church in the East. In the-Baltic
Provinces great preparations are making against the St.
Allies. The school at Revel for instructing the St
20
children of the military of Finland, Courland, Li- 10
/lonia, and Esthonia, had been removed into the ist
interior ; and the Agricultural Exposition for the 50
Provinces of Tschernischoff, Rjasan, Pensa, Jury- 10
shill, and Moluleff, which was to have taken place 25
this year, has been postponed. At Nijni-Nowge- St.
red another conclucta had arrived for the Govern- %
k Isis
being with 8,3001b5. of gold from the Ural mines, st.B
being the third within six months. St.
The First Prussian Chamber has had under dis-
2550
cession the important and vexed question of the 00
Sound dues. The town of Stettin alone is stated 2?.-
to have to disburse annually for extraordinary EU
expenditure connected with this impost, no less 20
fan mOOO rix dollars. The following resolution
'Was passsd :—" The Chamber, fully agreeing with
the Government, recognises the injurious effect
Irhich the Sound dues exercise upon the commerce
and mercantile marine 9f Prussia, and feels confi-
dent after the information afforded by the Go.
"reroment, that the latter will not neglect any
favourable opportunity for bringing about an abo-
lition of the impost." The Second Chamber was
expected to adopt a similar resolution.
MAdrid accounts mention that unless the Minis-
ter of Finance could come to an understanding
With the capitalists, he would have recourse to a
National loan. The municipal authorities were
very tardy in furnishing returns concerning the
ceremonal lands which the Government proposed
to tell.

The revenue return is considered very favourable,
"Peeially when we consider that the quarter is five
days shortened under the new arrangement,
tereby the account is made up to the end of
karch. The funds continue heavy, however, as
