MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS:
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 2,500
bales, the market being very dull and heavy. Prices were
lAd. to Md., per lb. lower than last week. Shares were very
quiet again. _ _ _

The —position of Southampton as a shipping port is acquir-
ing daily more importance, and the railway is likely to work
some further important changes in the course of our foreign
trade ere long. It appears that the docks formed there are
becoming inadequate to the accommodation of the shipping,
and that the increase in the amount of tonnage entered is
immense, viz., from 158,680 tons in 1845, to 228,777 tons
in 1846. Arrangements have been made with Government
for the erection on the company's lands of a custom-house on
an enlarged scale, and the Royal Mail Steam-packet Com-
pany are to have workshops on a large scale upon the com-
pany's estate, affording, with the dry dock and sheers, facili.
ties unequalled by any port in the kingdom. Even now the
dry dock is insufficient to afford all the accommodation re-
quired by the Oriental Steam-packet Company, and a second
dry dock is to be constructed.
The point of chief importance to the mercantile public
generally is the extension of the South-Western Rail-
way to London-bridge, to meet which, the Dock Com-
pany proposes to secure suitable warehouse accommoda-
tion, with a water frontage, contigunous to the London-
bridge terminus, thus affording the option of housing goods
either at Southampton or in London, the railroad running
past the doors of the warehouses at both extremities. This
is the most admirable appliance of the railway principle that
has yet come to our knowledge, and is, in fact, making
Southampton a sort of new London dock. The company's
office will -be at London-bridge, and special orders and mes-
sages will be sent down by electric telegraph.
There are no later ship arrivals to•day, and the intelligence
from the Cape of Good Hope, &c., is of old dates.
The Funds have been higher again to-day, and Consols
have been quoted 91 to 911 for present transfer, and 911
for time. At the present time the market is barely so good.
Bank Stock is marked 2031 to 2041, being a rise; and India
Stock is at 2501. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
are 93/t to Exchequer-bills have been quoted is. to ss.
premium. _ _

- Besides the ordinary operations, the Government broker
bought 10,300/. Reduced Three per Cents. at 913/4 for the re-
duction of the Debt, and 9,0001. Three• and-a-Quarter per
Cents. at 93% for the Savings' Banks. Money continues
easy in the house.
The Foreign Bonds have been dull, but there is a some-
what firmer market for Spanish, the Five per Cents. being
held at 2514. Portuguese Four per Cents. have realised 34
to 1/2. Mexican Bonds are 22/8. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. are worth 581/2 %.
The Railway Share Market is again rather buoyant, and
the French lines have risen, owing to the improved accounts
from Paris.

obliged to be adjourned, to the serious inconvenience of
suitors and of all persons having business at it. The Court
