Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day,
Market firm. Sales about 6,000 bales. Import,
4,386.

Lettters from Karrachee intimate that the steamer
, Saone, belonging to the Oriental Inland Steam Company,
had arrived there from Calcutta, but the barge Calcutta
which she towed was lost on the way. She broke in two
and went down. It is added tbat it is feared the steamer
will not he of much eervice on the Indus until proper
barge, can be got for her to tow.
DANISII WAR.—Captain Hobart, of the
Brothers Success, arrived at Rochester on Wednesday from
Rotterdam, reports as follows :—" On the 3d inst., at 9 30
p.m., at about 10 miles N. by E. of the Hinda light vessel,
observed, 10 miles to the NE, an engagement between two
screw steamers of war, viz,, Danish and Prussian. The
firing lasted upwards of one hour, when they steamed away
to the northward, and I lost sight of them."
CRYSTAL PALACE.--The first of a series of ten
grand opera concerts will take place this day (Saturday),
supported by popular anfistes from the Royal Italian Opera.
One Shilling Day, Friday, May 6.—Admissions on pay-
ment, 1,630; ditto by season tickets, 854—total visitors,
2,484.

The Money Market today has presented a much
quieter appearance, the inquiry having subsided,
bat the rates continue very firm.
A further sum of 163,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
There was a general rise in the foreign exchanges
yesterday afternoon, owing to the increased value
of money here.

The Banks of France and Tarin have advanced
their rates of interest to 7 and 8 per cent respec-
tively.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £520,700, and the exports to .£345,00).
Lord Hobart and Mr J. Stewart have joined the
directors of the Imperial Ottoman Bank.

The share list of the Land Credit Company of
Ireland is to be closed on Monday next for London,
and on the Wednesday following for the country.
The subscription list of the E tat Wheal Vor Tin
and Copper Mining Company will close on Wednes-
day next for London, and on Thursday for the
provinces.

The Scottish Universal Finance Bank shares
closed to-day at 2 prem. Such is the confidence
reposed in this undertaking that nearly the whole
of the required capital has been applied for. The
directors have concluded their negotiations for the
purchase of Messrs. Nathan and Co.'s business, of
Conahill, on most advantageous terms, at the same
time securing their adhesion to the bank. Arrange-
ments have also been made for the transfer to this
company of the business of N. Monteaux and Co.,
of Paris. Under such a favourable commencement,
and with so comprehensive a programme, as may
be found in another column, there is a sufficient
reason for the commercial confidence which exists
in reference to this company. 2

There has been very little business to-day in the
market for the English Funds; but owing to a dis-
continuance of sales prices have slightly tended
upwards. Consols were 90t .; for money, and 89i,
less the dividend, for the account. Speculators
appear less inclined to enter largely into
transactions either for a rise or fall, and -
the market consequently presents a dull _
appearance. The New Threes are quoted 88/ 1; 4/
the Reduced Annuities, 884. 1 ; the March Ex- 1
chequer Bills, 15s, to Bs. dis., and the Jane ditto, 8]
Bs. to 4s. die.; and India 5 per Cents., 104 t.
In the Foreign Market a general rise has taken
place, but business is not active. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 70 Q ; ditto Consolides, have ad-
vanced to 491 s; Mexican to 42i 431 ; do., New,
1,1
to par, .3. prem. ; Greek to 2141; Spanish Passive
eta'
Business 331 I; and the Confederate Loan to 63 64. St'
Business in the Railway Share Market has been 8
very inactive, and there is no change of importance
to record in prices.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in most
instances at slightly reduced rates, consequent upon
speculative sales.

of the principal new undertakings:—Imperial 't
