CITY, TWO o'CLOCK,

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000
taken for export and on speculation. The market
was very flat, and closed heavily, with a great
quantity of cotton offering. Railway Shares were
heavy.

The arrivals of ships in the Thames yesterday
cmprised thirty-three from foreign parts, and
three colliers.

The alterations in the Bank of England liabili-
ties during the week to the 18th inst. were not of
an unfavourable character generally. The decrease
in the bullion` was comparatively small, and the
Government account looks better, in consequence,
probably, of the arrangement made for disposing of
Exchequer Bonds to the Savings' Banks Commis-
sioners. The balances of private depositors
were trenched upon, and this was due, no doubt,
to the increased demand for gold for ex-
portation. The increased amount paid into
the Government account acted in dimi.
nishing the circulation, and strengthened the
reserve of notes in the Banking department. Com-
pared with the previous return the changes in the
various items were as follows :

Active circulation £19,828,270

were a shade higher. Paris, 90 days, 25 30 to 35,

13 6to 6i. Amsterdam was 11 17 to 171, and
krankfort 118 to 118 g.

There is not quite so much demand for gold.

chased for the continent. The dollars per Tamar
ha►e been sold at id. advance, viz., ss. Old. per
ounce.

The amount of bills drawn here by the Hon.
East India Company, from the 9th to the 24th inst.,
ox the several presidencies, was 65,0121. IGs. Bd.
The estate of Messrs. WHenry and Co. shows
a dividend of about 3s. in the pound, although
Is. 6d. only appears on the face of the accounts.

The exports of specie direct from London during
the week to Thursday last comprised 155,235
ounces of silver and 1,780 ounces of gold, •all to
the continent.

COME, ALL YE GALLANT BRITISH BOYS)

BY DUKES TONES.'
Come, all ye gallant British boys !
Brave as your sires have been,

And bear, in Freedom's glorious cause,
The colours of our Queen ;
Come forth in arms, Old England's pride,
To lay the tyrant low,
And join your hero brothers who,
Have nobly met the foe !

• Come, all ye gallant British boys 1
And give our warriors aid,
Nor let the despot live to gloat
O'er ruin he hath made ;
Now is the time to do the work
On Alma's heights begun—

The time to stop the westward march
Of Russia's savage son !

Come, all ye gallant British boys
Yours shall the glory be
To beard the monster in his den
And make the demon flee;
And laurels bright shall crown your brows
In field and on the main,
And ye shall to the nations give
A hallowed peace again !

FATAL ACCIDENT AT SEA.—A. letter from Scar-
borough, dated Nov. 23, says :—" About half-past 7
a.m, this morning a boat was seen rowing towards the
harbour with three hands in it, sea running very high,
and blowing hard from E.S.E. to S.E., when a signal
was made from the outer pier for the boat not to come
in. Soon afterwards a sea struck and upset het. One
of the unfortunate crew was seen clinging to her bottom,
but was washed off, and drowned with his companions.
Several pieces of the boat washed upon shore about nine
a.m., and on the inside of part of the stern the name
Lady Delaval, North Shields, painted with white paint,
but scarcely visible, having been painted over with a
thin coat of green paint. Two pieces of wood were
nailed over the place with John Morrow' carved there-
on in deep letters; which is supposed to be the waster's
aim,"
