MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAYJ, TWELVE O'CLOCK
Arrivals this morning—French mails due ; a mail f.rom
Gibraltar by the Braganza, sailed 10th Nov., Cadiz 10th
Nov., Lisbon 14th Nov., Oporto 15th Nov., Vigo, 15th
Nov. No ship letters.
We have receded the Gibraltar Papers to the 9th of
November ; as usual the news they contain from Spain
has been anticipated by the French Papers. The Gibral-
tar Papers to the Ist Nov. contain the following :—" By
the arrival of her Majesty's ship Rhadanzanthus, yesterday,
we have news from the squadron of the 26th inst. The
late cruise of the British and Turkish squadrons together
has been attended throughout with the most gratifying in-
terchanges of friendship ; and good understanding between
the two services has thus been cemented, and will form
an epoch in the British as well as the Turkish annals.
The following are some particulars :
At ten o'clock on the 10th of October the Rhadanzan-
thus hoisted the flag of Admiral Sir R. Stopford and of the
Capitan Pasha, and conveyed both these officers with their re-
spective suites, to Smyrna. There was exhibited the singular
appearance of an English Admiral's flag, and the Turkish star
and crescent flying from the same mast-head, on board one
of our ships ; about half-past one the wheels of the
steamer were set in motion, and as this beautiful vessel
passed through the squadron the marines were drawn up
upon the decks of all the ships, both English and Turkish,
and saluted the united flags of the Commanders-in-Chief,
while the bands played a Turkish-march. The scene was
singularly interesting, both from its splendour and novelty.
On arriving off the Castle of St. James, at Smyrna, the fort
saluted them with 21 guns.
On Wednesday, the 24th October, the Capitan Pasha
visited the Rhadanzanthus, for the purpose of witnessing
the shell practice, and the working of a large 10-inch 84-
pounder gun. Three shells were fired, and the second
struck the edge of the target, and partially destroyed it.
The third passed through the bull's eye, and with singular
precision exploded at the instant of contact. • The Capitan
Pasha expressed himself highly delighted and astonished at
this practice. On Tuesday, the 23d October, the Marines
of our squadron (1,018 in number), disembarked at Vourla,
and were reviewed in the presence of the Capitan Pasha.
On the 22d the Admiral and Captains of our squadron
dined with the Reali Bey.
The Rhadamanthus arrived on the Bth Oct. at Vourla,
and found lying in that bay the two squadrons. The Turkish
squadron consisted of five sail of the line, ten frigates, three
brigs, three schooners, and one cutter, making together
twenty-two sail of pendants. Some of the Turkish ships are
of surprising magnitude, and sail remarkably well, as evinced
in their cruise in company with the English squadron from
Scio to Messina Bay and Vourla.
We have seceived the Lisbon Papers to the 14th inst.,
but they do not contain any news of importance. All was
tranquil in Lisbon.
LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Nov. 19.—We have
had a fair demand for Cotton to-day. The transactions
reached 5,000 bags of all descriptions. The market has a
tendency to an advance in prices.
THE FUNDS.

It was discovered yesterday at the Stock Exchange that
certain forgeries had been committed in Mexican Bonds.
At first it was'supposed to have been to a large amount ;
but it was soon ascertained that the guilty person had been
checked by early exposure, in consequence of which the
fraud has not been to a great extent.

THIEF O'CLOCK.

Some miscreants have been placing planks and logs
across the trams on the Sheffield and Rotherham Railroad,
in order to cause accidents to the trains in passing. Fortu-
nately the guards discovered two of these infamous at-
tempts, and the engine which came upon the third threw it
off the road without doing any injury to the train.—Shef-
field Iris.
