MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was an active demand% for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, the sales being 10,000 bales, of which 5,000
were taken by speculators. Compared with Friday's
rates, prices are iu favour of the sellers, American sorts
being Ad. per lb. higher. The sales comprised 6,000
American, 2,000 Brazil, at 6/d. to 6id.; 200 Egyptian,
at 6:41:l. to 93.; 1,500 Surat, at 4/d. to 44d.; and 160 Sea
Island at 110. to ls. ld. per lb.—Railway Shares were
dull.
It has been decided that the Colonial produce markets
shall be re-opened next Wednesday instead of Tuesday,
as originally intended.
The particulars with regard to the Mexican Debt, which
'Will be found elsewhere, bear us out in what we stated at the
-time of Mr Robertson's meeting, and it would have been
a better proof of the activity of the committee if, in a
matter of such interest to the bondholders, they had
sent out even a summary of the information on Monday
afternoon, within en hour or two after the letters reached
town, and which they might easily have done.
At any rate, however, there can be no reasonable
justification fur delaying to forward the informa-
tion until lorg after five o'clock last evening. It
is unbusiuess-like proceedings of this class that give a
handle to many to complain of the constitution as
well as of the inertness of the committee, 'The sum stated
by Colonel Facio, the agent for Mexico, to be now in
the Bank of England available for a dividend is 319,993
della' s, and this is besides the amount which Messrs.
Schneider hold for the liquidation of the balance of the
last dividene.
It is reported from most of the Continental stock and
produce markets that business was quite inert owing to
the holidays.
The order issued by Mr. Tidd Pratt to the trustees of
savings banks, requiring depositors to send in their
books for examination, is judicious, though i; may seem
almost like " shutting the stable after the horse is stolen."
The strong feeling in the City is that the trustees of
the Rochdale Bank are bound morally, as they should
be legally, to refund to tho depositors every penny
purloined by Mr. Haworth, and men of
business will not for a moment hear of the
excuse, that such daring and protracted frauds
were difficult of detection. Every one feels, on the
contrary, that an examination weekly of the office books
must have brought the deficiencies to light, and that the
great aim with Government—if the whole savings' banks
s) stein be not revised, which for many reasons we could
show to be necessary—should be to provide for the liabi-
lity of trustees. As to expecting the simple and inex-
perienced depositors to investigate the position of every
bank, it is purely ridiculous.
The English Funds are flitter, and there has been some
supply of stock. This is in the absence of any particular
cause, and the decline is partly fostered by a temporary
demand for money in the Stock Exchange. Consols
have been 96* to 4 for account, and are now 96* to f.
the New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents 978 and the
Three per Cents. 96* to 4. The premium on Exchequer-
hills has been firm at 595. to 61s. East India Bonds
are masked 88s.
In the Foreign Market there is very little doing, ex
cept the carrying over of Mexican bonds to the next
account. The confidence felt in the future induces many
to do this, but there are also strong parties who will
make payment at once, and take the stock out of the
musket. The prices have improved to 294 Peruvian
Bonds have been steady at 54k. Brazilian Small have
realised 88. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 19, the
Three per Cents. 381 4, Lind Portuguese Four per
Cents. about 36 to 37. Dutch Bonds have aot been
dealt in.
Railway Shares have been heavy again, the North-
Western being conspicuous in this respect, and still on
account of tic rumours about the dividend. Caledonian
also are flattcr. Midland have declined to 454, South-
Wvstern are now quoted a 3 1001. stock, and are at 61.
B.:hlogne and Amiens are steady.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
The New Oder Gazette states that the Austrian,
soldiery in Gallicia, both officers and soldiers, are
in the daily habit of committing the greatest atrocities
upon the unfortunate inhabitants. The folliiwing is
one of the latest exploits of these worthy diieipleisiof
HAYNAU and IVINDISCHGRATZ At ZolkiewilrotaVern
keeper named CWIKIEL declared to his customers that
he could no longer afford to supply them on credit.
Some Austrian officers, who already owed him 800
florins, required that he should withdraw his notice
and continue to supply them on credit. The tavern-
keeper, who had no security for the payment
of the debt already due, and who was perfectly
aware of the shortness of memory of officers in the
Austrian service, where debts due from themselves
were concerned, refused to supply the officers and
these valiant heroes thereupon killed him on the
spot, and this atrocious murder has been suffered
to go unpunished. There are, we believe, several
scions of the English aristocracy and squirearchy who
still hold commissions in the Austrian service. It
would be well that the names of these comrades of
assassins should be known, in order that honest people
may avoid all communication with the associates of
the RUSHES and MANNINGS of Austria. Will the
King of SAXONY confer the order of St. Henry on
the murderers of the tavern-keeper CWIKIEL ?
The Post Gazette, of Frankfort, states that the
Austrian Government has charged the banking
house of RETIINIANN and Co , of that city, to pay
henceforth the coupons cf the the Austrian metallics,
at the price current of Frankfort. No such mode
of payment has been made since July, 1848.
The Austrian Government has announced to the
authorities of Rive, and other places situated on the
Lake of Garda, that no private steamers shall hence-
forward he allowed to ply on the Lake, but that the
commercial operations shall be carried on by the Im-
perial war vessels.
The Austrian Government is causing to be built at
Trieste a steam frigate of war of 640 horse-power.
