MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From Th. Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton-market at Liverpool, yesterday, vas
quieter. Sales, 4,000 to 5,000 ba'es at about Frsdsy's
rates. Shares were steady.
A brief reference was made yesterday under this
head, to the subscription that has been commenced for
the relief of the distressed people in the remote parishes
of Ireland and Scotland. We are happy to state that a
large number of additional donations are about to be ad-
vertised. It cannot be too strongly enforced that clothing as
well as money is required, and that to a very large amount
indeed, to relieve the poignant distress which too many
of our fellow-subjects are suffering at the present mo-
ment. All the aid that can be rendered to the
committee for affording the relief required shall
be readily given by this journal. Our advertise-
ment columns have already shown a goodly
amount of subscriptions, and under the earnest exer-
tions of Messrs. Rothschild and Co., and others, it
may be reasonably anticipated that hundreds upon
hundreds of pound sterling will be soon added to the
Relief Fund.

The announcement of the arrival of the West India
Mail steamer has just been made. It will be late in the
day ere private letters and the public journals oan be
delivered. We must, consequently, wait a while for a
summary of the details.

The i3onsol Market has been firm this morning at
931 I-, and for immediate transfer the same values have
been borne. The Reduced Three per Cents. have been
quoted at 94. India Bonds at 20s. premium, and Ex-
chequer. bills at 14s. to 1 ls. premium.
In the Foreign market there has not been any consi-
derable amount of business transacted in the Bonds this
morning. The principal quotations are for Russian 111;
for the Spanish Three per Cents. 36i; for the Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 59k; and for the Four per
Cent. Certificates, 92t.
In the Railway Shares and Scrip Markets business
has not been very brisk to-day.
