MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were es-
timated at 5,00 0 bales, including 1,500 for export and on
speculation.
.The market closed tamely.—Railway Shares
were very active, at higher prices.
The expected increase in the amount of bullion in the
Bank of England during the week, to the 12th instant,
has been realised, and there is a reduction of note issFes
at the same time, owing to the increase in the banking
balances of depositors. A return of loans made upon
Government securities, for we can hardly think the Bank
had been a seller of stock, likewise threw back paper
upon the establishment. In the discounts there had been
an augmentation. Compared with the previous week,
the changes are as follow—

An account of the number and tonnage of ships, British
built, gives the total for 1851 at 152,563 tons against
262,483 tons in 1850; but this deficiency is apparent,
not real, inasmuch as the returns have not yet been re-
ceived from the plantations whore last year 124,010 tons
were built, The number of British ships trading be-
tween the United Kingdom and the East Indies and
China was in 1851, 590 of 32,697 tons. In the foreign

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
GREAT WESTERN, AND LONDON AND NORTH-

WESTERN.
It appears from a comparison of the speed and fares of
the express train, upon these railways that the spemi
of the fastest train between London and Bristol on the
Great Western is 43 miles per hem., and on the London
cud North-Western, between London and Birminghawr
40 miles per hour; the difference in favour of the former
company being three miles per hour. The speed of all
the mixed trains between London and Plymeuth, and
London and Liverpool, is 35-,12- miles per hour on the
Great Western, and 36} miles per hour on the London
and North-Western being ono mile per hour in
favour of the latter. The average fares per mil© on
the Great Westein are—for first class, 3.068 d., and for
second class, 2,502 d.; while on the London and North-
Western the average is, for first class, 2.676 d., and for
second class, 2•l7Bd.—snowing, a difference in favour of
passenger travelling by the London and North-Wester
Railway of 0.392 d. for first class, and 0.324 d. for second
class. A comparison of the time occupied and fare
charged on a journey of 246:.1 miles on both lines:
shows a difference in time in favour of the London and
North-Western of 34 minutes by a first class train, and
of 12 minutes by a mixed train; and also at the sawe
time a saving of Bs. Id. for that distance by the fir"
class, and of 6s. Bd. by the second class, the
fares on the Great Western Railway for the first
class being 635,, and for second class 50s. 6d.; while
on the London and North-Western the fare for the tires
class is 54e. I Id,, and for th© second class, 435. 10d. By
the mail trains the average speed per hour is 25 milt's
on the Great Western and 28 miles per hour on the.
London and North- Western, the difference in faVOUr et
the latter being 3 miles per hour. The average fares
per mile on the former railway amount to 2•724 d. for
first class, and 1.867 d. for second class,- while on the
latter railway they amount to 2.419 d. for first 0153'5'
and 1.775 d. for second class, showing a difference iu
favour of the latter of 0•315 d. for first class, and
0.092 d. for second class. A comparison of the time and
titres calculated on a journey of 2464 miles shows a saving
in favour of the London and North-Western of 58
minutes, and of 6s, 3d. in first class fares end Is, 101
is
second class fares. By the ordinary trains the averagde
speed per hour ou the Great Western is 25 rail°, arl
un the London and North-Western 261 miles, being 14
miles in favour of the latter. The saving in first 006
fares.:being 0.583 d., and in second class 'arcs 0.291 d. Per
mile also in favour of the latter company. A compari-
son of the time occupied on a journey of 2632 miles
shows a difference in favour of the London and North
Western of 21 minutes, the time occupied by the Great
Western trains being 9 hours 53 minutes; by the Lou"
don and North-Western, 9 • hours 32 minutes. Tao
saving in tho first class fares is 12s. 4d., and in the
ete,-)vd class fares, 6s. id. in favour of the latter companY•

CABINET COU/sCIL (TEIS DAY).—The Ministers
aeeembled in Council this afternoon at one o'clock, at the
Foreign-cflice. There were present—The Earl of Derby
(Premier), the Eail of Lonsdale, the Marquis of Salisbury,
the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord John Manners, the Right Hun.
Mr. Henley, the Lord Chancellor, Jr. Herries, Mr. Secre-
tary Spencer Walpole, the Right Hen. Sir John Pakingtou,
the Earl of Mahnesbury, anfi the Duke of Northumberland.
A considerable and select number of persons have
met for several evenings at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, to
hear a series of lectures by Mr. Carter Lee, and witess, by
way of accompaniment, certain " shadowy" illustrations by
Alfred Crowquill, the whole entertainment being announced
under the title of " Sketches and Scratches." Its maul
subject, and we might say pr =text, is music; its object to
inform, perform, and reform; the end kept in view by the
lecturer to amuse. Thus, we had plenty of advice, censure,
and remarks, es to what music is, and as to what it should or
should not be ; anecdotes of musicians of all ranks, classes,
and denominations; the violin, the flute, the concertina
rivalling each other in the lecturer's hands; funny adven-
tures, curious characters, and a superabundance of Puns'
good, bad, and indifferent; and if the audience Was net
always in a roar, they were at least in uninterrupted good
humour. On one point alone we perhaps differ from gr',.
C. Lee. That the success which has attended the exertions 0'
such men as John Parry, Albert Smith and others
led to the present attempt, may fairly be a,-
smiled ; now, we scarcely think that the gen;
tlemen whom Mr. C. Lee introduces in shadowy
forms to his audience, are one and all tit subjects for illus-
tration, and we venture to question the propriety of his per-
sonalitier, however harmless, to brother musicians, brother
lecturers, and brother exhibitionists. This point reserved,
we were much pleased with his budget of eccentricities, his
performances on the piano, the violin, the flute, and the con-
certina, of which instruments he proved himself a perfect
master. His style is good, his delivery rapid,
forcible, his deportment gentlemanly, and while 11
" Sketches" went off with spirit, his " pictorial dissolutions'
elicited a good deal of laughter. Wishing him, therefore,
every success, and recommending his "Sketches" to all
lovers of fancy, fun and frolic, we advise our friends, ere
this season—now rapidly drawing to a close—has actually
closed upon them, to hear Mr. Carter Lee's notions of the
" Close of the Season," as sung by him in the course of his
"Sketches and Scratches," whose evolutions and dissolutions
are not intended, we understand, to extend beyond the pre'
sent menth. his action
GUY'g BOAT CLUB.—This afternoon at five o'clock
the members of the Guy's Hospital Boat Club row their an-
nual scratch match from Putney to Mortlake, for the pre-
sentation prizes awarded by Dr. Lever, one of the principal
physicians to the above named institution, which consists of
silver oars and rudder of exquisite workmanship. The prize
will be contended for by three crews in four-oared cutters will
their respective steersmen.
CRICKET.—AT Loan's,--Marylebone Club and
Ground against the University of Cambridge. This match
was finished yesterday, the University winning by five
wickets.

THE ACCIDENT AND Loss OF THREE LIVES AT
ROTHERIIITHE.—Yesterday (Friday) afternoon, Mr. Wil-
liam Carter, the coroner for Surrey, opened an inquest at the
White Lion public-house, Princes-stairs, P.otherhithe, on
the respective bodies of Mrs. Lydia Whitlock, aged 25 Isa-
bella Whitlock, aged 1 year, and Mary Ann Castle, aged 40,
the threw unfortunate persons who peddled through the
sinking of a monkey-boat, off Caen's-wharf, Rotherhithe, on
Tuesday night last. Some particulars of this lamentable
occurrence appeared in our journal of Thursday last. The
jury having viewed the bodies, which were lying in the
adjoining dead-house, they returned to the inquest-room, and
returned a verdict in each case of " Accidental death."
COMMON LAW REFoßats.—The Bill to abolish cer-
tain offices and fees in the common law courts, as amended
by the House of Commons, was on Thursday printed.
The Megwra has just accomplished a wonderful
passage from the Cape. It will remain recorded as a proud
fact in the annals of the Admiralty, that this gallant ship
has at length completed the run in only twice the time
taken by an ordinary commercial steamer. The Hellespont
sailed a fortnight after the Megmra, and arrived about a
fortnight before her. The total time occupied by the com-
mercial steamer was thirty-five 'days—her Majesty's
screw steamer took sixty-one days to accomplish the same
distance. This may be considered as a triumph. We invite
attention, however, to the performances of an emigrant
sailing-ship, the Bride, Captain Nattrass, which made the
passage from Plymouth to Port Philip in seventy-five days,
that is to say,;in only fourteen days more than that occupied
by her Majesty's steam-ship Megtera in the run home from
the Cape. The Bride —a mere sailing ship—reached the
Cape on her outward voyage in forty-four days ; the Me-
gwra, with steam power, accomplished the homeward run
in sixty-one days. This, however, may be considered a
great success for the Admiralty.—Times.
THE CASE OF MR. MURRAY. —lt appears by a
letter received from the uncle of Murray, living in the Mor-
nington-road, from Mr. Moore, the British Consul at An-
cona, that he does not expect that the extreme penalty of
the law will be inflicted on Murray, whom he considers in-
nocent of the dreadful crime imputed to him. He adds that
the universal voice in Ancona is against him, and that he
stands singular in his opinions regarding him, which has led
to many hot disputes with the local authorities and others.
He thinks Murray has been very imprudent, and his im-
prudence has led to the present deplorable results. He con-
siders his life perfectly safe now, but how far he can proceed
in demanding. his liberation he does not yet know, for the
fact of his having been a paid agent of the Papal police du-
ring the revolutionary turmoil in the country weakens
hands in defending him. Mr. Freeborn, the British Consul
at Rome, also writes :—My private opinion is, that Murrays
sentence will be commuted, his life saved, and ultimately
his liberty obtained, but unfortunately he has brought 'lira'
self into his present perilous situation by acts of the most
reprehensible imprudence.
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION.—It is satisfactory to
find that the supply of shipping for emigration purposes is
much larger than had been anticipated. There are now 50
vessels of large tonnage loading in London for the Austra-
lian colonies, all of which convey emigrants, and we 11!.s
informed that several other ships have been chartered to
meet the increasing demand for passage. At Liverpool
Glasgow, Leith, Hull, and Bristol, numerous vessels are also
advertised for the same destination. The emigrants from
London mostly belong to the middle classes, and include
many persons who carry with them stocks of
in-
tending to establish themselves as storekeepers, orgi
retail business, in Australia. A number of
retailighouses
