NING, AUGUST 9, 11349.

the efficient exercise of executive authority will be
afforded, by conferring upon Prussia the Presidency of
the College of Princes, and the power of carrying
their resolutions into effect ; Prussia, on the other hand,
insist that the King of Prussia for the time being shall
be recognized as the Imperial Head (Reichs-vorstand)
of the College of Princes (in which Prussia is besides to
be represented by a delegate like the other states), and
be invested with authority to conduct all negotiations
with foreign states, to decide upon peace and war, to
take measures for maintaining the internal tranquillity
and order of the confederation, and to have the sole
command of its armies. Further, while Bavaria con-
siders it essential to the prosperity of its subjects that
regulations respecting the acquisition of the rights of
citizenship and the protection of domestic industry shall
be left to the Bavarian Legislature, Prussia insists that
these matters shall be regulated by the Imperial Diet, in
which the Bavarian delegates, as it isi well known, are
only a minority."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of iJotton at Liv,rpool yesterday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000, chitfly Ame-
rican, were taken on speculation, and 1,000 for export.
The market was firm. The transactions comprised
6,500 American, at W. to 54d.; 250 Pernams, at 5-id.
to 54d.; 600 Egyptian, at sid to 6,-1-d; and 300 Surat, at
30. to 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull.
There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter
with news of special interest.
The accounts this morning received from the manu-
facturing districts in review of last month's opera
tions are exceedingly favourable, for it is stated by
Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, that
an immense business has been done on the
whole. They further observe that, "owing to the excited
state of the cotton market, and the gradually enhanced
value of that article from speculative operations mainly,
business here, until ten days ago, was characterised by
great activity and much excitement. Since then a
much less animate d feeling has been everywhere
perceptible, accompanied with a very general in-
disposition on the part of buyers to operate at
the prevailing rates, unless for immediate wants. Still
the aggregate transactions are as before indicated.
Prices of certain descriptions of cloth particularly, have,
as you will have noticed, again materially advanced, and
are much higher in many instances than they
were even during the month of January last;
but even with the advance, certain descrip-
tions of spinners and manufacturers are now ac-
tually in a worse position. We refer more particularly
to the spinners of water twist, and to the manufacturers
of certain descriptions of domestics, T, and long cloths,
&c., whose capital can bo anything but profitably em-
ployed.
It has been reported in many circles that the Bank of
England would to-day reduce its minimum rate of dis-
count, the immense accumulation of specie, and the more
favourable aspect of foreign affairs strengthening the
impression even in Lombard-street.
The Newry and Enniskillen Company have decided
to wind up.
Consols are flat still. They have been 924 4 for
transfer, and 92i s for account. Exchequer-bills are
48s. to 51s. premium. Bank Stock is 198.
Spanish Five per Cents, are dull, at 184, and Mexican
at 26i to 27. Dutch Four per Cents. 81 to 71.
Shares are rather firmer in some instances.
