MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CL 0 CA.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—WC have
to notice a reduction of id. per lb. upon all descriptions
of American, and in some instances id. has been submitted
to by holders. The sales to-day are about 1,000 bags.
Our arrivals this morning are French and Ostend mails,
and ship letters from St. John's, Newfoundland, Quebec,
and Calcutta 20th February.
The most important intelligence received this morning
is from the East, stating, by accounts from Constantinople,
that hostilities had taken place between the Turks and
Egyptians, and that the Turkish fleet had put to sea with
10,000 troops on board, to be landed on the coast of Syria.
Hafiz Pacha had advanced on the territory of Mehemet
Ali, and attacked the Egyptian positions. The Egyptian
troops retreated, fighting with the greatest courage, before
the Turf s, who were superior in numbers. The places
abandoned by the Egyptians were immediately occupied
by the Turks. A serious battle was expected to be fought.
We are exceedingly short of arrivals this morning.
This day being the weekly meeting of the Bank Direc-
tors, the speculators and money interest are anxiously wait-
ing to learn the i esult of their deliberations in respect to
advancing the disco..in! s to 6 per cent., as was generally
r.ported yesterday, which at present is doubtful. Some
persons are o f opinion, that they will wait a day or two
to give time for their late operation of 51 per cent. to act
on the Foreign Exchanges.
The report of the Budget in the House of Commons
taking place to-morrow, it is not expected that much busi-
eess will be done in the Funds this day, as the speculators
are still in the dark respecting its materiels. It would be
dangerous for them to act.
