CITY, Two o'Cnocc..
The Liverpool t.';otton Market yesterday exhi-
bited some steadines.s, but closed tamely, with little
if any change in rri, les. The sales were 5,000
01.10 American, 1,200 being
bales, comprising 4,
taken by exporters ; 15,1 Pernam and Maranham,
at 6gd. to 61d. ; 100 Bah ia, at 6d. ; 350 Egyptian,
at 51d. to 6id. ; 500 Surat, at 30. to 4id. ; and
20 Sea Islands; at 10d. to ls. 2d. per lb. The
Railway Share Market opened dull, but improved
in the afternoon, and closed firmly at the quota-
tions.
Accounts from Paris state that the Bourse yes-
terday lost some of the animation which charac-
terised it for two or three days previously, and
very little business was transacted. In railway
shares dealings were contracted, but the prices did
not recede.
From Hamburg we learn that measures were in
progress which would, it was expected, speedily
solve the vexed question that had arisen between
that power and the United States, on the subject
of the Sound dues.
Recent intelligence from Spain mentions the
probable resignation of M. Bruil, the Minister of
Finance. It is said that the immediate cause
which prompts him to this step is some difference
between~ him and his colleagues respecting the new
financial scheme of re-establishing the octroi duties.
He hesitates to compromise his popularity by giv-
ing effect to such an unpopular measure. On all
hands it is admitted that M. Bruil, during the
prorogation of the Cortes, has been a most useful
and efficient member of the Government. He is
pronounced to be the most intelligent and honest
financier in Spain ; and his retirement would be
considered a great public loss. For several weeks
it is reported that he has tendered his resignation
to the Queen, and demanded of her Majesty to
name his successor. As yet, however, it has not
been attepted, and it is possible that his colleagues
may baye sufficient influence to induce him to re-
main in office, If M. Bruil persists in his inten-
tion to: resign, the name of M. Rada, President of
the Legislative Commission on the Budget, is men-
tioned as likely to replace him.
At the meeting of the Foreign Vineyard Com-
pany„,a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent., with a
bonui of 21 per cent., was declared.
The public sales of indigo have concluded, and
Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co. report as fol-
lows :—.`
The sale now concluded has gone off likts predeces-
sor in July last, remarkably e i
well, requiring but little sap-
p_ort frnm the importers, who were in most instances sellers.
The prices realised have been quite equal to those paid in
July, and for some descriptions even higher rates have
been paid. This, in the present state of the money mar-
ket, and other unfavourable circumstances connected with
trade, certainly speaks well for the article. Its position
with regard to stocks and future supply fully justifies the
prices paid, and the present probability is that rates will
rule as high, if not higher, in February and May next.
Both consumers and shippers have been large buyers, their
stocks on hand being small; also, anticipating a small sale,
and an inferior one as regards quality in February next,
they have secured a larger quantity than usual. The
sorts most in demand have been Bengals, ranginc, from
4s. 9d. to 6s. 2d. per lb. These have commanded last
sale's rates to a little above ; good and fine Kurpahs have
obtained the highest advance ; and Madras of good and fine
quality •being scarce also experienced a further rise; but
the ordinary sorts of both Kurpah and Madras ruled much
the same as in last sales. Low Oudes and ordinary and de
feotive Bengals have been neglected and have gone from
par to 4.d per lb. discount. Of the quantity brought for-
ward; it is estimated that 2,749 chests h.,ve been bought
in, 2,680 withdrawn, and 7,1F,3 sold, to which may be
added about 400 of the bought in and withdrawn, making
the total quantity sold about 7,5 0 chests, of wich 5,009
are said to be for export, and 2,500 for home use and re-
sale."
An advance of fully I per cent. took place in
the English Stock Market to-day, in consequence
of the more favourable news from the Beat of war,
and ,the increased demand for stock on the part cf
the public. Notwithstanding the high rates
now ruling in the Money Market there is
a disposition on the part of annuitants and
shareholders, who are just now receiving their
dividend, to invest in the Funds at the present
rates. Consols opened at 87 to 87i, and then
rose to 87i to They have since, however, been
done at 87i to f, being rather flatter. Ex.
chequer Bills are about 2s. premium, and India
,Bonds are 2s. discount to 2s. premium. The-
New Three per Cents. are 871 to .1, and the Re-
duced 86; to 87k.
There was a special meeting of the proprietors
of the National Bank of Ireland this clay, at which
it was agreed unanimously that the name of the
bank should be henceforth altered into that of
"The' National Bank."
There is not much doing in Foreign Stocks.
Turkish 6 per Cents. rose to 791 to 791, but have
since receded to 79k and 791. The New Scrip,
after having been at 21 discount, has since become
heavy, and is now 31 to 3i. Spanish 3 per Cents.
are steady at 371. Equador Bonds rule at 41 to
4i, and Chilian 6 per Cents. at 100.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20 ;
Mexican, 191 to 19i ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto
Three per Cents., 51 to 53; Portuguese Four per
Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95
to 98; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88 ;
Spanish Three per Cents., 37i to 38 ; ditto New
Deferred, 19i to I.
The Railway Shares sympathise irithe improved
of the English market, and quotations rule higher,
with rather an increased inquiry. The Great
Northern has risen about 11., Great Western 10s.,
Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s., and Midland 10s.
Great Western of Canada shares were steady. The
French lines were very quiet.
Mining Shares are dull, and St. John Del Rey
rather lower. London and Westminster and Union
of Australia Banking Shares are firmer.

has authorised him to grant a free passage to any Pole
who may be willing to enlist in the Polish corps now
raising for the service of the Sultan at Schumla, under
the command of Gen. Count Zamoyski, and under the
auspices of Prince Adam Czartoryski. This corps,
which for political reasons has taken the name of " the
Sultan's Cossacks," already consists of about 3,000 light
cavalry, divided into regiments, and is to have infantry
and artillety added to it.
