MONEY • AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 4,000 bales. ' The market closed quiet
but steady. Railway Shares were quiet.
The following remarks on the Tobacco trade aro
from a review by Messrs. Grant and Hodgson :

"Of old, stock is comparatively scarce, and in the
new importation there is a great deficiency of wrapper
and of sorts possessing substance and flavour.
" In taking a retrospective view of the market for the
last 12 months, it may be observed that prices generally
have not been subjected to much fluctuation. From
January to April demand was languid, and our quota-
tions reached their minimum at that period for home
trade descriptions ; subsequently the market assumed a
firmer appearance, and in November the advance from
the lowest point may be estimated at id. per lb. for
good and fine sorts ; and now our quotations approxi-
mate very closely to those of last year at this period.
Tobacco has participated in the increased consumption
of most articles of produce ; American to the extent of
550 hhds., or 660,000 lbs. weight."
The stocks of sugar and coffee at the four chief
ports of Great Britain on the Ist January, this and
previous years, were as under :

Sugar. Coffee.
1853 103,000 tons.
1852 143,376
1851 97,101
1850 119,367

_ _ _

The Timber Market is very firm, and the de-
mand in the current year is expected to be brisk.
The weekly return of the Bank of England will
explain in part the recent measure of an advance in
the rate of discount, for there was such an increase
in the total sum of the securities upon which ad-
vances were made, or which were discounted in the
week to the Ist January, that the directors might
well feel emboldened to put something on to the
rate. The circulation of paper was correspondingly
brought out by this, and the bullion also was taken
into fuller employment. The Government account
begins to diminish, and will from this date show a
gradual reduction until at its minimum. Com-
pared with the previous week, the changes are as
follow :

The following letter has been addressed by Mr. Glad-
stone to Sir W. ileatheote, the chairman of the London
Committee for promoting Mr. Gladstone's return

" Hawarden, Jan. 6.
"My Dear Heathcote,—l take this opportunity of ad-
dressing to you, in terms substantially identical with those
I have just employed in a letter to Mr. Greswell, a few
words by way of answer to two question. which have now
been proposed to me.
"The first, whether I conceive that the interests of the
Church are as safe under the administration of Lord Aber-
deen as they were under that of Lord Derby ?
" And the second, whether in accepting office under Lord
Aberdeen I have compromised pr changed the principles
which I have hitherto held, and on the faith of which the
University has twice returned me to Parliament.
" With respect to the first, my answer is as follows :
Unless I had had a full and clear conviction that the in-
terests of the Church, whether as relates to the legislative
functions of Parliament, or the impartial and wise recom-
mendation of fit persons to her Majesty for high ecclesiasti-
cal offices were at least as safe in the hands of Lord Aber-
deen as in those of Lord Derby (though I would on no
account disparage Lord Derby's personal sentiments toward
the Church), I should not have accepted office under Lord
Aberdeen.

" As regards the second, if it be thought that during 20
years of public life, or that during the latter part of them,
I have failed to give guarantees of attachment to the in-
terests of the Church, to such as so think I can offer neither
apology nor pledge.
" To those who think otherwise, I tender the assurance
that I have not by my recent assumption of office made
any change whatever in that particular, or in my prin-
ciples relating to it.
" I should have hoped that those who think these ques-
tions needful, and who may be influenced by the answers,
would have put them to me at an earlier period, had I not
recollected that they, like myself, have been taken by sur.
prise by this wholly unexpected contest.
" As it is, however, I have only further to tender to you
my cordial thanks for the confi(,l,e.wnce. which, :LAD, undseTrocir:-
stances of no common order, you have reposed in me.
" I remain, yours very sincerely,
"Sir W. Heathcote."

is said that this step is only preliminary to a general

QIGNS of the TIMES—not the " Daily Times "
or the " Sunday Times," but the black and white rain and snow
sort of " times," provoking the skater's wrath by broken sheets •f
ice, freezing for every one to contemplate, unless they are habited in
warm, firm, and comfortable attire, which, for these "times," should
also be waterproof. Their being at this season many counterfeits, it
is no way improper to describe the features of the genuine article.
It should be made of first•rate materials, combining firmness, strength,
and superior finish—it should be cut on principles which secure a
correct fit, which cause the garments to fall in a graceful manner
from the person of the wearer—it should display workmanship which
cannot fail, and such as only a thoroughly artistic establishment can
exhibit. The Dress to measure or ready made, presented by E.
MOSES and SON, possesses all these qualities on the most command-
ing aspects, and is charged considerably lower prices than at any
other house. Its variety affords the amplest choice for Gentlemen
or Mechanics, for Sportsmen or Juveniles, on the same terms. Hats
and Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., of the best, most fashion-
able, and serviceable character, may be had at E. MOSES and
SON'S Establishment or its Branches, for very small outlays.

INSTRUCTION OF MIDSHIPMAN.

(From, the Portsmouth Times.)
It gires us much pleasure to insert the following order
issued by Sir Henry Leeke, K.H., for the guidance of
the midshipmen of his squadron :

" INSTRUCTION OF MIDSHIPMEN,
" With reference to my order of the 7th October
last, respecting the attendance of the young midship-
men at the dockyard on Wednesdays, for the purpose
of being instructed in their duties as seamen, I hereby
direct that in future, two days in the week, Wednesdays
and Saturdays, are to be given up for that purpose instead
of Wednesdays only, and as I ain anxious that opportunity
should be given to these young officers to obtain a
knowledg of steam in all its workings, the Snake will be
sent to Butcher's Island on those mornings, in time to
bring them across the harbour to the Dockyard by 9
o'clock, upon which occasion the engineer will take the
opportunity of instructing them, and I beg to call the
attention of those young gentlemen to the advantage to
be gained by two hours' study during their trip in a
vessel under weigh, and it will be well that they make
good use of their time, and to remember that one day in
youth, passed in learning the duties of their profession,
is worth months of a more advanced period of life."
The practice of teaching the young officers their
duties as seamen is of the greatest importance, and
this most essential branch of their education, if ac-
companied by that of a careful study of the marine
steam-engine, cannot but tend to render them efficient
and valuable members of their profession. Promo-
tion, in the Indian navy, being regulated by seniority
in the servire, an impression may therefore rest on the
minds of a few of its junior officers, that pre-eminence in
a knowledge of their duties can avail them but little, since
the industrious and the idle, the accomplished and the ig-
norant, must all progress towards the head of their respec-
tive classes by one unalterable rule. This idea is most erro-
neous, and if indulged in, will be founds fatally inimical
to their welfare, both present and future. The merest at-
tention or consideration of the occurences of every suc-
ceeding day will at once,convince them that "knowledge
is power;" and in the event of their being called upon to
undertake any duty involving responsibility in its exe-
cution, their selection for this position will not be guided
by a blank and barren seniority, but will undoubtedly be
entirely dependent upon their trustworthiness and abi-
lity to carry out the charge thus assigned them.
The Bombay squadron is fortunately entrusted to the
direction of a very talented and distinguished officer—.
one who, by his individual exertions and high cha-
racter, has raised himself to the summit of his profe E sion as connected with the Royal Navy ; and it will
be
"
well for every young officer now serving under his
command to use a praiseworthy endeavour to Imitate
brght example, and to remember that his
" o
youth, passed in learning the duties of their nreWsion
is worth month at a more advanced period of pofeda,
—'
life."
