The Commercial Bank have declared a dividend for
the half-year ended the 31st of December at the rate of
7 per cent. per annum.
The market for cotton piece goods still continues dull,
and prices have to some extent declined since the arrival
of last mail, in consequence of an anxiety to realise
which has been shown on the part of holders.
Grey Shirtings-40-inch of all descriptions, with the
exception of low 541 b., which maintains its last value,
have suffered at the rate of 1 to 2 annas per piece ; 45-
inch is dull, and sales cannot be effected without accept •
ing lower rates.
Grey Madapollams—For low qualities some inquiry
exists, but descriptions above 31b. are seldom asked for.
Grey jaconet is in small request.

from 1 to 2 annas per piece.

Spirits—Brandy in wood and bottle in demand ; the
same remark applies to gin.

Meer —Saracens 27 hogsheads sold at 37r., and 40

Metals—English bar iron, sheets, hoops, and round
nail rod are without alteration ; square nail rod has
slightly declined in value. Little has been doing in
Swedish iron, and Swedish steel in tubs has to a small
extent declined. Faggots are without inquiry. Lead,
both pig and sheet, is difficult of sale, at slightlyreduced

declined beyond. 960 r. for Indore, and 982 r. for Mun-
dlaisir.

Liverpool, 4/. to 4/. 10s. for London, and 20r. per candy
to China.

Exchange on England has risen to 2s. 1 13-16ths for
for credit, and 23. 20. for document bills, when these
high rates induced a demand on the Calcutta market,
which has caused.the rates to retire to 3s. Id. for credit
and 2s. 10. to 2s. lid. for document bills. The rates
on Calcutta are 99r. per cent., and on China 217 r. per
100 dollars, at 60 days sight.

THE UNITED STATES,

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.

The British ax id North American Royal Mail
steam-ship Araeri.ca, Leitch, commander, arrived in
the Mersey, yestAirday, at noon, with about: 70 pas-
sengers, and the usual mails from all parts of the
United States, C anada, Newfoundland, &c. There
is no specie by this arrival.

The America left Boston on the 19th inst., at
noon, and Halifax early on the morning of the 21st,
thus bringing five days' later intelligence from the
whole Americ' in continent than was received by the
arrival on F] riday of the Humboldt steamer off
Cowes.

Captain Le'Ltch reports having passed the royal
mail steamer Europa, off Halifax, on the 21st, and
saw a large steamer standing westward on the 28th.
The new steam-ship Arabia, which had put into
Halifax for a liesh supply of coals, in consequence
of the severe t tales she encountered on her first out-
ward voyage, arrived safely at New York on the
morning of th e 15th inst.
Intelligence, has reached New York that all the
passengers of the Cornelius Grinnell are saved.
By advices received in Washington from Ha-
vannah, dated :the 11th instant, we learn that Mr.
Beyla, a wealthy and influential English resident
at Cuba, had been ordered by the Governor to
quit the country at two hours' notice. No reason
was assigned ft )1. this severe step, and the interfer-
ence of the B 1 itish Consul in Mr. Beyla's behalf
had proved quiff to ineffectual. Considerable excite-
ment prevailed, on the subject, both in Cuba and
at Washingto: a, on the news becoming known
there.

The commis; tion sent to Mexico to examine into
the merits of the Gardiner claim, has returned
to Washington, and presented a report deelaring,
the whole claim a fraud on the United States Go-
vernment.

The accounts from Mexico of the revolutionary
movements are, at once meagre and conflicting. On
the one hand,. the Government papers represent
that the rebellion is subsiding ; while others, on
the contrary, assert that the troops of Uragas had
defeated'those of the Government under Vasquez
in Gua,ndinalo.

When the .Am erica left Boston, there was a
moderate amour it of business going forward in all
the chief cities eof the union.

The money market at New York, since the de-
parture of the previous steamer, had been very
easy ; money was plentiful, and could be obtained
at moderate rate s ; the general trade of the country
is reported to be. in a most satisfactory condition.
Government ;stocks were in good demand, and
previous quotations were well supported.
The market for breadstuffs was rather quiet, and
not many tram actions were reported, in conse-
quence of hoUters waiting further advices from
hence, which the Europa would convey. Prices
were reported as follows :—Western Canal flour,
5 dols. 50 c. to .5 dols. 62 c. per barrel, steady ;
Gennessee prune wheat, 1 dol. 22 c. to 1 dol. 24 c.
per 60 lbs. ; Indian corn, round yellow, 70 c. to
72 c. ; Indian meal, 3 dols. 62 c. to 3 dols. 75 c.
per barrel.

1 - The cotton market at New York was reported
brisk, with an average amount of business doing.
Prices had slightly advanced, as will be seen from
the following quotations :—New Orleans and Mo-
bile, mid fair to fair, 111 c. to 12,1-c. per lb.; Up-
lands ditto to ditto, 10ftc. to 11c., in each case
showing a rise of ic. per lb. The reports from the
southern markets all report an advance in prices ;
at New Orleans, on the 15th, middling was quoted
9ic. per lb.
Provisions were in moderate demand, but prices '
were unchanged.
Freights were lower :—Flour to Liverpool was
ruling at 2s. 9d. to 3s. per barrel. Cotton to Li-
verpool, id. to 5-16 d. per lb.; ditto to Havre, 10.
to Ihc. per lb.
__ _

Exchange on London was quoted 109 to 109 k,
with a quiet market ; on Paris, 5 13.

a family in Burton-crescent, had an immense tumour in
her right knee, which increased to such a
q size that she
could not bend the joint, and was in conse obliged
to leave her situation. Herdical attendant informed
me
her that there was no chance of cure, and it would be
necessary to amputate the /limb. This opinion not satis-
fying her, she commenced using Holloway's Ointment

imeans of effecting a perfect cure, and she has resumed
her former situation. Sold by all druggists,

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday. )

MANCHESTER, JAN. 28.—A second addition of a half
per cent. to the rate of discount, so immediately after
the first, has of course the effect of restricting in some
degree the extent of operations in our staples ; not on
account of the mere advance to be paid, but rather
through the diminished facility of converting into cash
bills of long dates and below the first class, which, by an
indirect influence, increases the caution even of the
most opulent houses. But the sound condition of the busi-
ness of this district is seen in the fact that aggregate
prices have still continued to harden, though in a
barely appreciable degree, throughout the last fortnight.
In the present week, there has been a steady demand of
moderate extent from the home consumers of yarns, par-
ticularly of the medium counts, and also from the conti-
nental buyers of warps and pincops from 24's upwards.
These spinnings are consequently rather higher ; in the
course of a fortnight they have gained about id. per lb.
Warps and weft for domestics continue perfectly firm,
the latter rather hardening. The contracts in hand for
China have caused 16's to 24's reeled water twist to
be fully as dear as it was a week ago ; and yester-
day and to-day we have some renewal of demand, with
a slight further tendency in prices to advance. The
production of 40's and 50's mule yarns, of India
quality, is pre-engaged. In the department of goods,
we find that the dealers are laying their bands on the
cheaper lots of domestics of such qualities (in particular
as are suitable for the Canadian buyers), several of which
arrived by the last steamer. The better qualities, which
they purchase in the United States, have been there
raised in price. There has not been so much demand for
China shirtings, as fort he lighter descriptions adapted to
the markets of India ; all kinds however, are well en-
gaged ; and the telegraphic announcement of the Over-
Land mail is again occasioning rather more inquiry.
Longcloth, T's, and jacconets of low and medium quali-
ties, are in fair request. We have still to report well of
7-8 printing cloths, especially in 52 to, 64 reeds. The
American packet, which arrived only on Thursday, re-
ports rather higher prices. In Liverpool there is
still an upward bias. Fair is quoted id. higher since
this day week.
GLASGOW, JAN. 28.—Our cotton market during the
present week has been active, and prices are again 11d.
per lb. higher than on Friday last.
BRADFORD, JAN. 27.—W00l—There is at present a
stillness in our market with the buyers, who, having
supplied themselves at prices much cheaper than any-
thing that is now offering,, do not feel inclined to add to
their stocks, and content themselves to wait till they are
more nearly used up ; but we fear from the high prices
now established with the grower 4 and dealers, there is
little ease to be expected in subsequent purchases. The
stock in the staplers' hands is meagre, and of really good
wool the choice is only indifferent. Noils and brokes
are without change. Yarns—This month is closing
with a very unenviable position for the spinners.
Wools are too dear, and Gallipoli oil is 75 per
cent. dearer than at this period last year. The
buyers of yarns all complain that they cannot get a cor-
responding advance on their production, and are conse-
quently urgent for all, contracts being delivered, as by
them only can they shelter themselves from loss. Pieces
—The increased cost of goods has no doubt acted as a
drawback on the sales, for the merchants complain that
they cannot get goods up 'correspondingly with the ad-
vance sought in the grey, but as the season advances
they will have higher prices to pay,
for the manufac-
turers are limiting their production because they cannot
cover cost.—Bradford Observer.
LEICESTER, JAN. 27.—The home demand continues
very steady, and more is doing by the country houses
than by the openness of the season might be expected.
There are still shipping orders in the course of execution,
both for the Australian and Canadian markets ; and the
demand for fancy hosiery, shirts, half-hose, and socks
adapted to these markets was never greater at this period
of the year, whilst the manufacture for cotton hosiery
keeps most of the operatives in full employ. The move-
ment of the increase of discount by the Bank of England
is considered very judicious, even as only applied to the
restriction of speculation. it is rather a singular feature
in our market;, that although the cotton market is re-
ported dull, brown coons suited to our trade are only
barely supplied, whilst the demand for blue grey is ten
times greater ti-an the supply. Worsted spinners find
great difficulty in realisirg present prices. Wools are
stationary, at the present advance ; short sorts and
nods are even more than ever sought after.—Leicester
Jour ,sal.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 28.—=Our market, without any very
animated appearance, has a perceptible upward tendency,
holders supplying the demand only sparingly, and the
very fair amount of transactions readily taking off
any useful cotton ; prices have been gradually moving
upw'ards, and at the close or the week there is an ad-
vance of id. per lb. upon our last quotations of Ameri-
can. The market is wan: 'y becoming less freely sup-
plied with Surats, and extreme- prices have been current,
id. advance in some oases being paid. 10,720 Ameri-
can, 2,480 Egyptian, 470 Bahia, and 530 Surat are re-
ported on speculation and 2,620 American, 20 Egyp-
tian, 100 Bahia, and 1,830 East India for export. To-
day we have a pretty , general demand, and a firm mar-
ket, at the advance of ad. quoted for the week : the
sales are 9,000 bales, including 3,000 on speculation and
export. The total sales for the week are 55,650 bales.
