MALP-PAST OIVB.
To the present time the brokers and jobbers are chiefly
occupied in settling their accounts in the foreign market,
which not being of any great extent, it is expected that it
will go off easy.
Money continues scarce, and in demand at a high pre-
mium, particularly in the Foreign Market.
It is reported that a proposal is going to be made to the
Portuguese Finance Minister to take their Local Stock at
90, which at present is about 80, in payment for the divi-
dends due pere.

BALLOON ASCENT.---It was yesterday an-
nounced that Mr. Hampton would make an ascent in a
balloon from Cremorne House, Chelsea, and conic down in
a parachute as soon afterwards and as immediately near the
metropolis as possible. Notwithstanding, however, the
chance of a break-neck catastrophe, so attractive to the
English, the announcement failed to collect large numbers,
and accordingly there were no crowds to persuade Mr.
Hampton to the ascent. For a long while it was doubtful
whether or not the courage of the aeronaut could be
screwed to the sticking post ; but at last (that is to say at
nearly half-past eight o'clock in the evening, the balloon
having been advertised to ascend at five) Mr. Hampton
plunged in niedias res, and went up at all hazards. He
ascended grandly, and amid many appleuses, and after
continuing mid-air for a few minutes, descended in his
parachute at Stamford Bridge, Fulham, without further
harm or accident than a chance contact with a wall, and
returned to Cremorne House by a quarter after nine
o'clock. As the grounds were opened at one o'clock, those
who came early had an awful time to wait, and it cannot
be said (although some music and posturing sought to
enliven the tedium) that they were presented with any re-
compensing allurement for the delay. In brief it is rather
absurd to announce an ascent at five o'clock, and then to
take till near nine to gather the courage to make it. The
Duke of Brunswick was present, with a few more persons
of distinction.

There were only three or four Peers in the
!Luse of Lordi last night during the long and tedious
"lecture" of Earl Stanhope, who has on other occasions
exhibited his peculiar talent for talking the House out with
Poor-law grievances. When be had concluded his state-
ment, the Duke of Wellington exclaimed, " Are you done
yet ?" in a manner that raised a general laugh at the
Noble Earl's expense, which he endeavoured to escape by
requesting the Duke of Wellington to mcve the adjourn-
ment of the House. His Grace, however, stoutly refused,
and their Lordships, after a three hours' infliction, which
they endured with their proverbial patience, walked quietly
out.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MORI, THE EMINENT
VIOLINIST.—We regret to announce the death of this
accomplished musician. Mr. Mori fulfilled his .duties as
leader of the band at her Majesty's Theatre on Tuesday
last, and his absence from the orchestra last night was
understood by his professional brethreen to have been occa-
sioned by an attack of lumbago. As the ballet approached
its termination, at nearly one o'clock this morning, Mr.
Mori, jun., who was then performing in the orchestra, was
called away, by an intimation that his father was in a
dangerous state; and when he arrived at the house in
Bond-street he received the melancholy information that
his father had ceased to exist. The family of the, late
Mr. Mori consists of two sons and three daughters, for
whom an ample provision is left.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT GREENWICH NEW
PIER.-0.1 Tuesday afternoon, a lad named Jacob, whose
father is in the employ of Messrs. Grissell and Pete, con-
tractors for the new pier now in course of erection off the
Royal Hospital, Greenwich, was in the act of stepping
from the head of a skiff on to one of the long barges
now forming a temporary and floating pier for steamers,
his foot slipped and he was precipitated into the water.
Several boats instantly put off to his assistance, but
were unable to afibrd any assistance, as he never again rose
to the surface. Several men were engaged during yester-
day in dragging for the body, a reward having been offered
for its recovery.
We understand that the Irish Railway Bill is
now nearly completed, and that it will be brought in by
Lord Morpeth on the 21st inst.
The Earl of Winehilsea, Lord Brougham, Sir
J. Graham, Sir R. Peel, and Sir T. Fremantle, attended
Divine service at the Temple on Sunday, to hear the Rev.
Mr. Benson, Master of the Temple.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELTE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—The im-
port of Cotton for the last few days amounts to the extra-
ordinary quantity of 105,000 bags, of which 97,000 are
from the United States, being the largest quantity, we
believe, ever received in one week, and the value of which
cannot be less than a million and a quarter sterling.
Althcalgh the accounts received from the manufacturing
districts are still very unfavourable, and the pressure for
money continues unabated, there has been a good deal
doing in Cotton, owing to the spinners having run them-
selves rather bare of stock. The sales since the brokers'
last report have been as follows :—The Bth instant, 2:,000
10th, 11,000; 11th, 3,000; and 12th, s,ooo—in all
16,000, at id. per:lb. advance on the lower qualities of
American. This day there has not been so much in-
quiry. The sales are about 3,000 bags to the trade.
ARRIVALS THIS MORNING—French and Ostend mails ;
Hamburgh ; Ship Letters from New Orleans, Santa Cruz,
Charleston, Bermuda *and Grenada ; Singapore, January
26 ; Hobart Town, February 1, old dates.
(From New Brunswick papers received to the 12th May.)
At a General Meeting of the Stockholders of the
City Bank, held on Friday the 3d inst. it was resolved
that the capital stock of that Bank should be merged in
the Bank of New Brunswick, which we learn has since
been done.

(From the Royal Gazette of May 8 )
We understand that the Lieutenant- Governor has re-
ceived by the April mail dispatches from the Secretary of
State, convejing to his Excellency the most entire ap-
proval on the part of her Majesty's Government of all his
measures and views in connection with the recent disputes
ith the State of the Maine.
It appears that the endeavours of the East India and
China Association to obtain, through that Government, an
arrangement with France for the conveyance of the India
mail between Alexandria and Calais, has proved successful.
It has been continually stated, both at Liverpool and in
the American papers, that there would be a short crop of
cotton in the United States; these reports, no doubt, were
agitated for sinister views and speculative motives, both at
Liverpool and in America, for we no* find by the immense
import of cotton of 105,000 bags, of which 97,000 bags are
from the United States, being the largest quantity ever
known in one week, valued at a million sterling,
no doubt, ere this, it is ascertained in the United
States that: the cotton rig, as it is generally called,
has terminated at Liverpool. The American holders on
the side have trken the alarm, fearing that a considerable
fall in the price would take place, consequently they are
shipping off from their monopolising store-houses to
Liverpool.
