MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL)

CITY, TTVO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday
were estimated at 8000 bales, of which 3,000
American were taken on speculation. The market
closed with a hardening tendency. The sales com-
prised 5,500 American, 800 Pernam and Maran-
nam, at cid. to 7-w.; 400 Bahia, at 6d. to 6ad.;
500 Egyptian, at 62d. to Nd.; and 500 Surat, at
3id. to 41d. per lb. Railway Shares were quiet, at
rather improved prices.
There has been a firm market for grain at full
Prices.

bThe report of the silk auctions is thus furnished
Mr. Eaton
" By far the greater portion was bought in,!say, Chinas
at 6d. per lb. above previous rates, and Bengals with-
out alteration. The business by private contract,
though to some extent, has not been equal to that usual
at these
periods, but which, as regards Chinas, may be
easily accounted for by the unprecedentedly large opera-
tions of the last two months, as also to the demand of
holders of an advance upon the prices then established.
The prices actually realised have been—Tsatlees, 16s,
6d. to 20s. 6d.; and for Taysaams, 14s. 9d. to 17s. 3d..
(including long reels) against 15s. 6d. to 195., and 14s
to 15s. 6d. during the February sales. In Bengals the
only reason for a limited business is the scarcity of the
qualities required, and the inferiority of the existing
stocks."

Advices, dated the 16th inst., from Constan-
tinople, announce the arrival there on the 14th
Inst. of Baron Bruck, the Austrian Envoy, who
Was immediately received by the Turkish autho-
rities with great solemnity. The Porte had, it is
asserted, in respect to the views of the Ambassador,
promised to modify its note to Count Nesselrode,
60 as to guarantee the maintenance of the last fir-
man, and render it for ever obligatory on the part
of Turkey towards all Christian Powers. The
question now asked is, whether Russia will be
satisfied with this declaration, which gives all she
has demanded, or insist upon the observance of the
exact form in which her claims were put forward.
The New York advices are not of particular
interest. Stocks continued quiet. Money was
,easy, and trade in most dpartments healthy and
°risk. At New York therm mports still exceeded
the exports.
The Chilian advices to the beginning of May
state that the Government of that republic was
mediating, with every hope of success, to bring
about an amicable arrangement of the differences
between Peru and Bolivia, and already had been
instrumental in the reconcilement of Peru and
quador, both of which had just concluded a
treaty.
The Mexican accounts inform us of the release
,of Mr. Falconnet, the agent of the English bond-
holders. It was stated that the good relations be-
tween Mexico and the United States were very
likely to be maintained.
The amount of gold exported from London
(luring the past week was erroneously printed on
Saturday under this head, and should have been
53,500/.

the matter was adjourned.

ILLNESS of EARL GROSVEEOE, M.P.—The Earl of

Paper.

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—Yesterday,
the Lord Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway preached a
sermon at the parish church of St. Mary, Lambeth, on
behalf of the Scottish Episcopal Church Society. The
double purpose of this sermon was to increase the funds
of this excellent society, which performs the combined
functions of several such societies in the Church of Eng-
land, and to enlighten the public mind in this country as
to the history and character of the Church in Scotland,
about which comparatively little is known, though it has
always existed, even under the most oppressive per-
secution, apostolical in its doctrine, apostolical in its
succession, and only too apostolical in its poverty.
The right reverend prelate took for his text the 32d
ehapter of the Book of Numbers, the 6th, 7th, and
Bth verses. Of these words, the obvious application to
the circumstances of the case was made by the bishop
With clearness, with eloquence, and with so entire an
absence of all bitterness of feeling or expression, that he
did not even mention the fact that the Prince of Orange,
before he was William 111. actually offered to make the
Episcopal Church the Established Church of Scotland,
it the bishops would allow him to be prayed for by name
in their service. The bishops conscientiously objected
to this as being in violation of their oath of allegiance to
,Ring James 11. and his heirs, and thereupon the Pres-
byterian form was made national. Among other illus-
trations of the very recent persecution to which the
Church was subjected, it will scarcely be credited that,
up to the year, 1791, more than five persons assembling
as a congregation for Divine service were liable to
severe penalties. The sermon of the right rev. prelate
evidently produced a deep impression that, more widely
diffused would be productive of great good.
THE ROYAL DISPENSARY FOR DISEASES OF THE EAR,
DEAN-STREET, SOHO-SQUARE.--A sermon was preached
to a very crowded congregation, yesterday morn-
,%.og, in aid of the funds of this dispensary, by the Right
'tev. the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, at the parish church
of St. Peter, Pimlico. The right rev. prelate took for
his text the 9th chap. of St. Luke, 6th verse, and upon
Viat discussed the different degrees of power and influence
that nations held, especially this our native country,
Which, his lordship observed, swayed the destinies of the
World ; with this influence his lordship associated that
Possessed by individuals in supporting the valuable cha-
nties of London, to enable them to satisfy the wants of
the multitude that flocked to them for their aid,. saying
that they were our pride and our boast, and the means
ol; allowing many thousands of returning and pursuing
their avocations, from which they would otherwise be
excluded, and obliged to seek the workhouse for their
maintenance, so hurtful and repugnant to the feelings of
fully. In conclusion, his lordship earnestly and power-
dy entreated a liberal contribution for an institution so
e 'Prying public support, since during the last year 1,388
Patients had been placed on its books, and that 559 had
been discharged cured, besides many more materially
relieved. His lordship's pathetic and eloquent appeal
produced a very handsome collection.
