CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday clo,ed
steady, anti prices of American and Surat are id.
per lb. dearer. The sales were 'estimated at 8,000
bales (1,000 of which were for export, and 3,000 on
veculation), comprishiLf 500 Pernam and Maran-
ham at 6d. to 61d. ; 200 Egyptian at 6d. to Bd. ;
1,000 2urat at 30. to 44d. ; and 60 Sea Islands at
is. 'to ls. Id. per lb.
Accounts from Madrid state that a new loan was
probable, awl that in the meantime the Bank of
San Fernando had agreed to issue notes, redeem-
able as early as possible by the Government.
There was yesterday afternoon a downward ten-
dency in the quotations for bills of exchange upon
the leading cities of the Continent. Paris,- 90
days was taken at 25 421 to 47i, Amsterdam at
12 01 to 12 01, Hamburgit at 13 7; to 8, and
Trieste 12 41 to 48.

The Great Central Railway Company intends
raising extra capital to the amount of a million
sterling, in bonds bf 280 francs each, to be re-
deemed at sflo francs by annual drawings in 99
years from January, 1860, each bond to bear in-
tere4t at the rate of about st. 7s. per annum.
The English,Stock Market has been steady, with
a very limited business doing. Consols have been
marked 88# to for transfer, and 881 to A for
account, though at present 881 Bank Stock
has been firm at 210 to 2111. Exchequer Bills
are 4s. to 75., and India Bonds ss. to 12s. prem.
The " Omnium" is at par to 1 premium, and the
Annuity is at 16 3-16.
Foreign Secirrities rule exceedingly quiet, and
the variation in prices is not of importance gene-
rally. Turkish Bonds are 721 to 731, and Russian
4i per Cents. 874. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 36
to 361, the New Deferred 18, and the Certificates
have been weaker, viz., 34 to 4i. Dutch 4 per
Cents. are marked 9uf to 9Oi. The South Ameri-
can Stocks are nominal.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
--backs ;--Grenada Deferred Bonds, Qto 6i; Mexi-
an, 20i to 20i ; Peruvian, 68 to 70; ditto Three
er Cents., 47 to 49 ; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
1. to 43 ; ttussian Five per Cents., 98 to 100;
iitto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 88 to 90;
Spanish New Deferred, 17i to 1.8 h; ditto Three
per Cents., 351 to 361; ditto Certificates, 4 to 4k ;
iitto Passive, 3i to 4k.
There is very little alteration in the quotations
cf the English Railway Shares, but some of the
heay.y lines are rather heavy. The business doing,
however, continues limited. The Indian and
Canadian undertakings are still in favour, though
some flatness is observable.

Mines are dull, the Joint-Stock Banks firm, and
Crystal Palace maintained previous values.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
rhe Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlarge-
?tient, Building, and Repairing of Churches and

Chapels v. Coles.
The Lord Chancellor, 'without calling upon the re-
pondent's counsel to. addr-ss the Court, affirmed the
ecision, anti tlistnigsed thii appeal with costs.
(Before the Lord Justices of Appeal.)

DIRECT BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY V. SPOTTISWOODE AND

AMSINCIL—JUDGMENT.
The Lori Justice Turner gave the judgment of their
'lordships to-day—in this case, which came before their
iordships, upon appeal from the Master, who reported
tat Spottiswoode and Major Amsiuck were liable,
the former to repay to the allottees their deposit 4, and
the latter to bear the expenses that had been incurred in
the employment of engioeers, in 1845, for constructing a
railway from Birmingham to Oxford, and from thence to
Reading and Brighton.
After going at con,iilerable length with the case, Lord
Justice Turner stated his clear opinion to be that both
Mr. SpotiisvroOrle and Major Ainsinck were liable to
bear the expen,es eqoaliy with the other parties, and
that the 'l'a ttr had come to a right conclusion.

The Lord Justice Knight Bruce concurred in this
opinion, and the Court ordered both the appeal motions
to be dismissed, but without costs.

Scarcely any English wheat was on sale in to-day's mar-
ket. Owing to the want of supply, the business doing was
limited, and the trade was not so active as on Monday.
However, hollers were very firm, and most of them re-
fused to sell except on higher terms.
Most of thelate imports of foreign wheat have been with,
drawn from sale. There was a gf.o 1 inquiry for all kinds.
and fine parceta were held above Monday's rates.
Barley was in short supply and moderate request on
former terms. In the value of malt no"change took place.
Oats, beans. peas, and flour, were steady, and quite as
dear as on Monday.
