MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The weather being now the barometer which acts upon
our funds, they improved slightly to-clay, owing to the
partially favourable change, and the few gleams of sun-
shine that seemed to give promise of a better temperature
for the crops. Consols for immediate transfer were to-
day marked at a rally.to the improved quotations of Mon-
day, viz., 898 to 11-, closing at 898 to :1, and for the account
they were 898 to 90. Exchequer Bills were at 13s. to
15s. premium, and East India Bonds at 6s. premium.
Bank Stock was at 171 to 1718, and East India Stock at
242, being each steady. The Reduced Three-and-a-
Half per Cents. brought 991 to *, and the Three per
Cents. 90 to 4.
The business in the Foreign Securities continues very
restricted, but Spanish Bonds are still rather firm, on ac-
count of the expected payment of a portion of the inte-
rest of the Foreign debt. Spanish Active Bonds were
marked 201 to 20k, money bargains ; Portuguese New
Five per Cents. were at 30 ',l to i, and the Three per
Cents. at 18k. Colombian Bonds were done at 191 to
20, Mexican at 251, and Brazilian at a decline to 67. to
67+. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 51 to
51:1-, 1
_ _

Railway Shares met but a slow sale, though prices
were rather better. Great Western were quoted 22 to
20,1-, the New 9 to I, and the Fifths 54 to 6 premium.
York and North Midland shares realized 73 to 74 pre-
mium, Brighton were 7 to 714 discount, Manchester and
Leeds 191, Northern and Eastern 11, Bristol and Exeter
29, Cheltenham and Great Western 41, and South East-
ern and Dover 19i discount. Colonial Dank Shares were
at 7i- premium.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 21.—There has been
a,moderate business done in the Cotton market to-day, the
sales amounting to 2,000 bales. In speculation we have
nothing of consequence to report, but for export, 150 Surat
and 200 American havebeen taken. Prices continue steady.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JULY 21.--A very good
business has been done at the Stock Exchange this day, the
following are the transactions:—Eastern Counties, 7% ;
GNwleasgowSh 37%; Glasgow, Paisley and
hares, 31 ; Grand Junction, 1,02;
EGdniuebnuocrgkh,
264 a ncl ;
Great Western 201. Shares, 91/2 ; London and Birmingham
32/. Shares, 53i.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 21.—We have
had a very quiet day, but prices on the whole are firm, with-
out much real business. North Midland, Thirds 58-; York
and North Midland, Half-shares, 20/ ; Yorkshire District
Bank, 91/2.
By the arrival of the packet ship Oxford, at Liverpool, from
New York, which place she left on the the Ist inst., papers of
that date have been received, they are but one day later than
the previous accounts, and do not contain any news of interest.
Stocks had declined. The sales at the Stock Board on the
30th June, were more extensive than for some days past, but
prices generally receded. United States Bank Shares sold at
18a, a decline of k per cent. Vicksburgh fell off 14.
There was a fair amount of transactions in State Stocks,
without material variation.

United States Bank Shares at Philadelphia were quoted at
19 at 191/2.
Papers from Hobart Town to the 13th March have been re-
ceived, but they do not contain any news of interest. The
Wheat market continued dull; a considerable quantity had
arrived; the price was seven to eight shillings per bushel.
PORT Plume, MARCH s.—Very little doing in any branch
of business. Flour, if anything, on the decline.
Towards the close of business yesterday, a reaction took
place in both the English and Foreign Securities, and the
Market closed with a firmer appearance.
Consols closed at 89t1 / for Money, and spL 90 for Account,
and opened this morning at the same ; Exchequer Bills are
13 15 prem. ; Spanish Active Stock, 201 ; Portuguese Five
per Cents. 301 ; Ditto Three per Cents., 18; t.
The accounts received frem Manchester, state that the un-
favourable' character of the weather, together with the heavy
continental failures immediately ensuing after those in London,
here and elsewhere, have operated unfavourably upon the
staple market. The demand for goods or yarn is not so active,
and lower rates are generally offered.
Both Stock Markets are thin, and further advance has taken
place since the opening.
The account trom Anierica relative to the burnt steamer,
excites considerable attention and a painful degree of interest.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—.WedIllB lay the different
insttraace companies in the city received accounts from Wake-
field of a dreadful fire having taken place near that town on
Sunday last, by which several thousand pcunds worth of pro-
perty was destroyed. From the few particulars received, it
appears that it occurred on the extensive worsted-mills,
situate in the village of Rorbury, about five miles from Wake-
field, belonging to Messrs. Foster and Borass, and was dis-
covered at about five o'clock in the morning raging in the up.
permost floors. All attempts to check the progress of the
flames were unavailing. The firm are stated to be fully in-
sured. It has been ascertained that the fire originated in
spontaneous combustion amongst a quantity of cotton waste
that. had collected on the third story of the mills.
SLAP AT THE COACHMAKERS.--" I admit
that the items were done," said Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, in re-
ference to a conlirnaker's bill, at the Assizes, " but some of
them are exorbitant." " One never pays a coachmaker's bill
without thinking so, brother Talfourd," replied his Lordship.
