MONEY ANDCOIMERCIALNEWS

CITY, Tlf_eLVE O'CLOCK.
Arrivals this Morning—French ; ship letters from
St. Kitts and Madeira ; Calcutta, Feb. 2 ; Mauritius,
April 4, and Cape of Good Hope, May 11.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—We have had
a very general and better demand this week, with improved
prices, the market closing id. to id. advance in American,
the better qualities having risen the least, the interior the
most, rather better prices being obtained on Tuesday and
Wednesday, when the buying was the most spirited we
have had. To-day Brazils are fully id. dearer, particularly
Pernams. No ichange in Egyptian or Surat. The con-
sumption is still on the reduced scale, whilst our stock is
yet on the increase, a position which will no doubt be re-
versed ere long. Exporters have taken 3,500 bales of
American, 170 Maranham, 130 Pernams. and 200 Surat;
Speculators 5,000 bales of American ; 4,000 bags sold to-
day.

According to the official returns of the weekly liabilities
and assets of the Bark of England, from the 30th April,
1839, to the 22d July. 1839, both inclusive, there appear,
to be a decrease in the circulation of 52,0001., an increase
in the deposits, of 388,0001. In securities, an increase of
971,0001., and in bullion a decrease of 559,000/. The
above decrease in bullion is a proof that the precious metal
are still leaving the country.

THE FUNDS.
The Foreign Exchanges were firm yesterday after-
noon with a small improvement on them, and Bills were
more plentiful in the market, but little business doing.
We are without any arrivals this morning of consequence.
A great mystery still prevails in respect to the opera.
tions of the Bank. A report prevailed in the course of
yesterday, that at the meeting at the Bank Directors on
Thursday, a division took place whether the rate of
interest should be advanced to 6 per Cent. It ended by
the casting vote of the Chairman being against it.

HAL FPAST ONE.
We have nothing remarkable to the present hour either
in the Funds or Commercial affairs worth notice. The
state of the weather and the inactivity of both the markets
causes great dullness in the City. Money continues easy.
4 per cent on Stock, and 5 per cent. on good Bills. We
do not hear any thing further respecting the dead weight,
or raising of the discount to 6 per cent. at present; all is
guess work ; nothing is to be depended upon.

THE REV. J. R. STEPHENS.—This Reverend
incendiary delivered a farewell sermon to his Ashton flock
on Sunday week, and repeated it in the afternoon in the
open air. He assigned indisposition as the cause of his
temporary retirement. The Reverend Gentleman gave a
sketch of his career since he came to reside in Ashton.
Ho denounced the advocates of the " sacred month," or
national holiday," as the direst foes of the working
classes ; he cautioned his hearers to beware of those men
who would manufacture a revolution. He next alluded to
the now Poor law. As for Universal Suffrage, he would
not fight one stroke for it. Not a word uas said about
the " untoward affair" between his reverence and Mr.
M'Douall. When he bid them farewell, many wept bit-
terly. This man was one of the first, if not the very first,
pr ipounder of the torch and dagger system; and his rav-
ings, arid those of the mad Tory Oastler, were mainly
instrumental in leading to that delusion in the minds of
the working classes which led to the recent occurrence at
Birmingham. Let us hope that he has at last seen the
error of his ways.—Liverpool Mercury.
The Hamburg Borsen Halle of the 18th inst.
announces the arrival at the Hotel de Ru'sie, in Hamburg,
of Mr. Bocl.isa, harpist to her Majesty the Queen of
England ; Madame Bochsa, Madame Young, and Mr.
Hunter and family. The arrivals are taken from the
police book deposited at each hotel, in which strangers on
their arrival are always invited to inscribe their names.
At Drury-lane, Mr. Hammond, the new lessee,
is already making active preparations for the commence-
ment of his first campaign. Amongst the engagements
already effected, we have reason to believe, are the follow_
ing :—Alexander Lee, as musical director. F.:r the
Drama—Messrs. Elton, Brindal, Baker, W. Bennett, T.
Lee (the Irishman). and G. Bennett; Mrs. Waylett,
