MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market was
steady, and prices of American were a turn in favour of
buyers for qualities under 51d. Maceios were Id. per
lb. higher. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 400
Pernam and Maranham, at sia. to sid. ; 350 Bahia, at
6/el. to 61d.; 100 Egyptian, at 6d. to 10d.; and 800
Surat, at 34d. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull,
at lower prices.
In the produce markets a good deal has been done.
Foreign Sugar has been taken largely by private con-
tract. Coffee has been scarcely so dear. Cotton is still
in favour, and at the Indigo auctions the advance has
been 6d. to 10d. per lb. Bengal fine blue is 6s. to 6s.
2d.; and ord and mid 3s. 10d. to ss. ld. Burpah, good
and fine, 4s. 10d. to ss. 9d. per lb. At these sales less
has been brought forward than at this time last year,
and more sold, while the stock is only 20,412 against
26,456 chests. Tea has gone off steadily at the public
sales.
The Colonial Wool auctions commenced yesterday af-
ternoon. About 28,000 bales will be offered, and the
attendance is very large. The advance up to the pre-
sent time, with brisk bidditigs, is lid. to lid. per lb.
The convention just signed by the Ministers of Eng-
land and Holland to define the intercourse between the
Netherlands and the lonian Islands contains the follow-
ing clauses:—
" The inhabitants and vessels of the lonian Islands
shall enjoy, in the dorainiohs of his Majesty the King of
the Netherlands, all the advantages which are granted
by the treaty of. the 27th of October, 1837, between
Great Britain and the Netherlands, and by the conven-
tion additional to that treaty, signed- on the 27th of
March, 1851, to the inhabitante and vessels of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, as soon
and for so long as the Government of the lonian Islands
shall grant to the inhabitants and vessels of the Nether-
lands the same advantages which are granted in
those islands ta the inhabitants and vessels of
Great Britain; on condition that, in order to prevent
abuses, every lonian vessel claiming the privileges of the
said treaty and convention, shall be provided with a patent
shall signed by the Lord High Commissioner or his represen-
tative.—The present convention shall have the same
tye
du-
ration as the said treaty. of October,
months
after . It r
the
da be
ratified, and the ratification shall be exchanged at Lon-
don as soon as may be within three m
of signature."
The Stock Market has been very firm again, with fair
money purchases and scarcely any speculation.

Lancashire and Yorkshire have receded nearly 1 per cent.
Thee smaller shares are similarly affected. French Rail-
ways are rather dull.
The Gold Mines look well, and the Copper Companies
support full prices.
Joint Stock Banks are a shade lower, and Royal Mail
Steam rather higher.

THE LAST SALE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—
Yesterday Mr. Lerew put up to auction at the Crystal Pa-
lace tile remaining portion of the contents, which comprised
the numerous variety of articles which had been used
in fitting up the interior. There was a large attendance
of visitors, who were admitted on payment of sixpence
for a catalogue, this being the last opportunity afforded to
the public to view this magnificent structure, as the con-
tractors will very rapidly proceed with its demolition.
xten-
The
lots disposed of yesterday comprised some of the e
sive gas-fittings, gas-lamps, the counters, &c. The sale will
be continued to-morrow and the following day. During the
last few days about three acres of the flooring have been
reumetl, and some parts of the roofing Wye been taken 911.

Our mark-et to-day was tolerably well supplied with
Beasts, as to numbers, but their general quality was in-
ferior. For most breeds we experienced a very inactive
inquiry ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were sup-
ported, the primest Scots being worth 3s 6d per
81bs. Although the supply of Sheep was on
the increase, the Mutton trade was firm, at very
full currencies, the best old Downs having realised
3s 10d per Blbs. Lambs were in steady request,
but not dearer. From the Isle of Wight 350 came fresh
to hand. On the whole the Veal trade was dull, and
late rates were not supported. In Pigs next to nothing
was doing. Mulch Cows were tolerably firm, at from 171
to 1915 s each, including their small Calf.

The high rates demanded by the factors prevent
dealers in general from purchasing beyond actual wants.

somewhat lower than last week. Nuts of all kinds iu

His iloxouu said the personal expenditure had been.
very large, nearly 1,5001. a year, but that was not a

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary P.TTER.)
HALSWELL V. MAURICE.
A LEGAL CAUTION.--This was NU action to recover
the sum of 951. 14s. 6d., for goods sold.
Defendant allowed judgment to go by default, thereby
admitting that he was indebted, and it was only neces-
sary to prove the amount due.

The plaintiff's attorney produced an account amount-
ing to the above sum, and proved that he saw defendant
on the subject, to endeavour to settle and save expense,
and he offered to take off 5 per cent. Defendant agreed,
but did not settle.

The Learned SECONDARY asked whether the witness
had warned the defendant, that anything he might sal,
by way of admission would be used in evidence wills'
him? The witness said he did not, as he fully expected
the matter would be sattled.

The SECONDARY said, that in all such cases a caution
ought to be given, for in many cases, parties dropped ex°
pressiou unintentionally, but in this case there did not
appear to be any doubt.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

finally abandons the musket and sabre, and becomes

entitled La Fille d' Hoffmann. Hoffmann loves only
two things in the world, his daughter and
fiddle ; he is also rather given to frequent th°
cabaret. Louise, his daughter, and a young lord,
Frederic, are passionately attached to each other, OM
the obstacles to their union, raised by a machiavelie
counsellor, who has his views on Frederic as his ow°
daughter's husband, and the ingenious manner is
which they are all removed by Hoffmann, form the'

TUE POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS AFFECTING MANS
cuesTea.—The Manchester Guardian publishes some further
correspondence which has taken place between the Ctier
mercial Association of that town and the Poatmaster-Lle'
neral. The latter, " after full inquiry," has found that ili°l
glwNer
for-
gery,
unnecessary delay in the transmission of the foreign a!,,
colonial correspondence has taken place, either at Southaref"e
ton or the London office. The delivery at Manchester of
the correspondence from abroad, brought to the port °
Southampton,might, it is admitted, be accelerated by the es'
tablishineut of a large sorting force at Southampton ; but tl
expense of such a measure would be so great that his Lord-
ship does not feel himself justified in proposing it to 06
Treasury. The Commercial Association, however, deter'
mined not to let the matter rest, have renewed their fortner
request; and, in a schedule attached to their communicatieee
draw the Earl of Hardwicke's attention to the arrival of the
various steamers at Liverpool, and the time at which their
letters are delivered at Manchester. They also urge the ne'
cessity of an early dispatch of the morning mail from London'
and an alteration in regard to the steamers from London t°
Ilamburgh.

PRESENCE OF MIND. Mr. Charles Chalk, Of
