MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales 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.—Railway Shares were dull, and prices had a
downward tendency.
The accounts received this morning from the manu•
facuring 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 h6ar and see around
us in other directions. The weekly return of liabilities
and assets, made up to the 18th instant, shows au 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
slighily added to, and. will probably very soon exceed
fifteen millions. Compared with the precious 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. Hamburgh 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 ounces, 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 for Transfer, and 924 for
Account. The New 'I hree-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 934 s ; Bank Stock has been steady at 1991 ;
Exchequer-bills have declined to 455. and 425. premium.
The Foreign Securities are dull also ; Mexican, 27i
and Spanish Five per Cents. 184. Brazilian Old Bonds
have been 87, and Equador 3i ; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. have realised 53 to 53/.
Railway Shares are lower, and that, for the most part,
arises from paucity of business. Indeed the attendance
in the City today is very thin.

SIR ROBERT PEEL.—This eminent statesman,
while, a few. days ago, on his way to his Highland resr
tr
dence, reqring to remain an hour or two at Kingusste
to take retieshment, got into conversation with the Jana'
lord of the inn, Mr. Hobbs. During the conversation
Sir Robe' t inquired if he knew of a man of the name of
James M'Pherson, in that locality, and whether be rios
wive or not, and how circumstanced. The landlord ifsa
fortunate ly enabled to afford the desired information.
and give all the particulars of the Highlander; on which
Sir Robert narrated that thirty years ago, when on
tour to the north, he had the assistance of M.Pherson as
Billie, and was highly pleased with his services. Sir
Robert then left an order with the landlord for five
pounds to give to his "guide among the mountains,' °I
