MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. I LATEST FROM AMEBIC

CITY, Two o'CLixR.

The sales of C itton at Liverpool yesterday
amounted to 10,000 Wes, about 5,000 of which were
taken on speculation and for export. The market
steadier. Railway shares were quiet, and prices de-
clined slightly.
There are several indications in the Bank of Eng-
land statement to the 30th ultimo of an increased de-
mand for money, and, despite the imports of bullion,
it appears that the shipments were in excess, or, what
is more probable, that there was a greater sum taken
into the home circulation. The loans and discounts
were augmented, and the notes out were increased
considerably. The public deposits were augmented
515,524/., and will rise gradually with the advance of
the quarter, but the withdrawal of private balances is
e corroboration of the view above taken, that cash
finds readier employment. Compared with the pre-
vious week, the following changes have occurred :
Notes issued £34,767,270
Increase 31,010

being taken at 11 18 to 4, and barely so high on
Hamburgh, viz., 13 71 to Trieste was at 11 42 to
46; and Paris at 25 371 to 40.
The exports of silver from London during the
week to Thursday last were 40,270 ounces of gold,
and 88,000 ounces of silver, all to the Continent.

ARRIVAL OF THE MER CITY OF
MANCHESTER.
(PROM OTJR LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENT.)
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
At 7 o'clock this morning, the Liverpool and Phila-
delphia Steam-ship Company's screw-steamer City of
Manchester, Leitch, command ?r, arrived in the Mersey
from Philadelphia, which port she left on the 23d ult.,
with 190 passengers, and three days' later intelligence
from all parts of the United States than we had previ-
ously received by the arrival of the Asia at Liverpool,
on Monday last.
Letters from New York and Washington concur
in the statement that Mr. Secretary Webster's health
is in so precarious a state, that it is considered doubt"
ful if he will ever resume his official duties. His name
had been withdrawn from the list of candidates for the
Presidency.
By the arrival of the steamer Empire City, at Nes/
Orleans from Cuba, we learn that the island µ'as
tranquil when the steamer sailed. Orders had been
received from the Spanish Government, that no poli-
tical prisoners were to be sent to Europe by the
Governor-General of Cuba, unless the precise nature
of their offences were specified in writing, and for'
warded to the officer in whose charge they Were
transported.
The general tone of the ad vices from Havana had
produced a stronger feeling in all the American Ina"
kets, and Government Stocks especially had felt the
effect in a material rise of quotations.
The cotton markets were in much the same state
as when the Asia left New York, on the 20th. Large
receipts at the ports, and continued high estimates of
the crops, kept down prices,:but a good business for
export to Europe was going forward.
The breadstuff market was active and firm, with
the exception of flour, which, being in large suPPll'
might be had for shipping purposes at a trifling de.
cline.

Provisions were hardly in such brisk request as at
the last accounts ; yet prime pork ruled at full prices,
notwithstanding live hogs were quoted at s±c• t° C 4.
per lb. Beef dull and nominal, lard and dairy Pr°.
duce without any noticeable variation.
Freights were somewhat firmer, and though 11
quotable alteration was made in the rates to LiverP°°a
or London, there was more inquiry by shippers,
a probability of advanced prices.
Naval stores were scarce, but the market quiet UP°P
a limited inquiry.
Exchange on London was in good request, at 1111
to 1 l 01. Paris, liamburgh, and Bremen, notnioßll
as at last dates from New York.
