MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 10,000 bales, of which aboutls,ooo were taken for export
and ton speculation. The market closed without animation.
The Share Market opened better, but closed very flat.
There are in the weekly Bank of England statement,
made up to the 24th instant, many changes of considerable
amount ; but the full force of the quarterly payments is nearly
spent. The bullion has slightly increased ; the note circula-
tion by accumulation of deposits has been lessened, and there
was a fallirg otT in discounts and advances. Compared
with the previous week, the changes are as follow :

The rates for Bills of Exchange yesterday afternoon were
higher on Paris, being 25 571/2 to 6214, and on Ilamburgh
there was an advance to 13 11 and 13 1114. Trieste receded
to 12 35 and 12 30. This was for 90 days' paper. Am-
sterdam was steady at 12 2 to 21/2.
The exports of silver from London direct during the week
to Thursday last were 191,150 ounces, principally to France,
and 3,750 ounces in gold coin to Port Philip.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 29th ult. was quiet
for Dutch Bonds. Spanish and Mexican were in. favour.
The budget appears on the whole to excite very little com-
ment or attention, as there is nothing novel in it, the renewal
of the income-tax being indispensable.
The Funds are better as far as outside dealings can test
the market, this being, as is usual on the Ist of May, a holi-
day. Consols realise 935. E 34. The renewal of the income-
tax is necessarily calculated to inspire confidence to stock-
holders.
Railway Shares are in request, and expected further to
improve on Monday. Blackwall, about 1314 to 44 ; North-
Western, 1211/2 to 125; Midland, 6914 to %; and North
Stafford, ;A discount.

anchor and cable into the long boat, for the purpose of being
carried out, she capsized, the crew of which, in endeavouring
to save themselves by the jolly-boat, which was near at the
