RUMOURED PARDON OF THE IRISH STATE PRI-
SONERS.—The Liverpool Journal has good reason to
believe that it is the intention of the Government, in
deference to her Majesty's wishes, to pardon all the Irish
State prisoners, at home and abroad.
THE EXCURSION TRAINS TO LOWESTOFT.—On
Monday morning the first three trains consisted of 77
carriages, and the one, Rm., train of 18 carriages, making.
altogether 95, conveying about 5,000 pecple, most of
whom returned in the evening. During the day the
station was entirely cleared out of carriages and trucks
of every description. On Tuesday about 2,000 persons
were conveyed to Lowestoft by the various trains, and
nearly all were conveyed back in the evening.--A QV"
Chronicle,

O.IS'EY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUAR7'ER TO THREE.

The saes of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at about 7,000 bales, of which from 2,000 to
3.000 were taken on speculation. The market was quiet
but steady.—Hail way Shares were dull, and prices had a
downward terniel,ey.
The accounts received this morning from the manu-
facturing districts represent that a greater degree of
activity prevailed in many branches than was the case on
this day se'nnight. At Bradford, the manufacturers
were all engaged to order, and the stocks were very
small in the consumers' hands. At Leeds a brisk trade
has been done in the warehouses.

We notice with special satisfaction an appearance, even
at the Bank of England, of money becoming in greater
request, and no doubt for legitimate commercial pur-
poses, if we are to judge by what we hear and see around
us in other directions. The weekly return of liabilities
and assets, made up to the 18th instant, shows an increase
in the active note circulation which certainly is not
large, but it is accompanied by an addition of 385,9431.
to the other securities, and a withdrawal of over half a
million from the other deposits. The bullion was
slightly added to, and will probably very soon exceed
fifteen millions. Compared with the previous week the
changes are us follows:

There was an improvement yesterday afternoon in the
rates of exchange upon the principal continental cities.
Paris was higher, and also Antwerp. llamburgh sup-
ported the late rise. Trieste was lower.

- The exports of the precious metals from London this
week have been as follows:—Gold coin 470 ounces, and
silver coin and bars 270,800 cunces, the larger pro-
portion of the silver being to France, and of gold to the
Mauritius.

There is no animation in Public Securities, and the
quotations remain almost precisely the same as yester-
day, Consols being 92i s for Transfer, and 924 a for

Railway Shares are lower, and that, for the most part,
arises from paucity of business. Indeed the attvndance
in the City to day•is very thin.
