It is stated that orders have been sent to the com-

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500
bales, including 2,500 American on speculation. There were
4,000 bales American sold at 614 d. to 734 d.; 200 Surat at
41/2d. to 44e1. ; and 200 Egyptian at 7d. to 74c1. per lb.
This is a decline of 1/2d. per lb. on American, and other
kinds were flat. Shares were rather firmer.
The Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport Shares are in de-
mand, from a rumour that the Manchester and Leeds Com-
pany are about to take the line on lease.
There are not any late arrivals announced in the City
this morning from the colonies. The accounts by the
Overland Mail from the East Indies, brought by Mr. Wag-
horn's route via Trieste, are considered as very satisfactory.
Trade, we are issured, has improved in most departments
as respects British manufactured goods.
A recent paper received from New York thus comments
upon the state of ship-building in that port in the year
1846 :
" The spirit of enterprise wtoth has always marked the
character of the American merchants, and which has done so
much towards the welfare and prosperity of the country, we
are gratified to perceive is still in the ascendant, notwith •
standing the innumerable restrictions which operate against
commerce, growing out of national dissensions, and which
seem to have affected but little that indomitable spirit of ,
energy and perseverance so peculiar to the nature of our
people generally.
" This most important i:ranch of trade, in which the New
York ship- littilders are. so justly celebrated, not only for the
fleet and beautifully-toudellzd vessels they have sent out to
every habitable portion ot 'es world, but also for the largest,
the most durable, and withal the most convenient ships that
float upon the bosoms of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, is
yet, we are happy to state, keeping pace with the rapid and
onward march of this age of eneerpiise and improvements.
In our annual report of the amount of tonnage built at this
port during the past year, we find that no less than 37,945
tons have been completed, and are now in course of com-
pletion.
" Twenty-five thousand nine hundred and forty of that
amount is now engaged in its legitimate element, the re-
mainder is yet on the stocks, and will be completed in the
course of one month.
" In addition to the above list of the vessels launched and
on the stocks in the various yards within the precincts ot
our city, we may mention that thi keels of six splendid
steam-ships will be laid in the coming month. Messrs.
Westervelt and M'Kay will, next week, put upon the
ways the keel of a steamer of 1,750 tons, the second in
the line of Government mail-ships between this port,
Bremen, and Havre, under the superintendence of
Mr. Mills. The Washington, which is the first
in this line, is nearly ready to be launched. Mr.W. H. Webb
has completed negotiations with Mr. C. H. Marshall, for the
four steam-ships of 1,400 tons eau'', each intended for the
New Orleans and New York line. The keel of the Pioneer
will be laid immediately. Mr. W. 11. Brown will commence
without delay tie, second in the line of Charleston steamers
for Messrs. Spofibrd, Tileston, and Co. She is to run in con-
junction with the famous Southerner, but will be 200 toes
larger.
" Our scientific and enterprising builders continue to re-
ceive the encouregement their taste and skill so deservedly
merit."
The Stock markets are pretty film this morning. The
purchases of the Government Brokers on account of the
Sinking Fund and f.r the Say; igs'-banks, have given
strength to the operations of the sp .culaters for a rise. For
the next settlement Consols have flectuated but from 91 to
911/2, while for money the value has just been increased from
90% to 911 A. The Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities
have improved to 91%, and the New Three-and-a •Quarter
per Cents. to 931/2. India Stock opeeed at 249, and has rallied
to 251. Bank Stock is at 203%. In Exchequer-bills the
transactions have been very few, red at 4s. to 6s. premium.
There is little to notice in the transactions in the Foreign
Funds this morning. The quotatiers of the Brazilian are
85 ; of Mexican, 221/2 ; of the Old Portuguese, 83 ; of the
Three per Cents. for Account, 34!4 ; of Venezuela Two per
Cents., 38%; of the Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
941/2 ; of the Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents., 58 ; end of
the Four per Cents. Certificates, 92 to 9214.
Many inquiries have been made to us relative to the
causes of the long delay that hr occurred in winding up the
affairs of the Enniskillen anti_Sligo projected Railway. A
very small first d;vidend has as yet oily been declared, not-
withstanding the sum paid upon each share wig 2/. 12s. 6d.
Surely the Noble Chairman of 113;s projected line ought to
look to the matter, and see a speedy return of the balances
in hand, fair expenses being allowed to the holders of the
. scrip " In the Share market things look rather better this
morning.

BANK OF ENGLAND-(THIS DAY).
CITY, THREE O'CLOCK.
The Court of Directors of the Bank of England have
just adjourned, without ordered any increase in
the rate of discotrit, ag was fully expected in most
quarters.

FUNERAL OF MR. W. CLOWES.--{THIS DAY.)—
The remains of Mr. William Clowes, Parliamentar* printer,
of Stamford-street, Blackfriars-roao, were removed from the
deceased's residence, in Witnpole-street, for interment in the
Norwood Cemetery. On arriving at Norwood, the workmen
belonging to the establishment had assembled, where they
joined the funeral procession to the grave. On the occa-
sion the establishment of Messrs. Cloy es and Sons was closed,
to enable the workmen to follow to the grave one of the
most respected masters by whom working men could be
employed.
DARING CARRIAGE RODBERY.—Yesterclay infor-
mation wes given to the police that on the previous evening,
as the carriage of Mrs. Lawrence, the lady of the surgeon of
that name, wes proceeding from Ealing Park to Wh'tehall-
place, Ann Lr ,gdale, one of the servants, who was sitting in
the rumble, wrs robbed of a green pa.se, containing twenty-
one sovereics and a half-sovereign, by some thief who
must have gct rap behind and abstracted the purse by cutting
both the gown ar.d pocket.
The negotiotion for an intermediate steamer to
Boston and klalifax, between 'this date and the 4th of next
month, has not proved successful. The terms demanded by
the company (and which were high on account of the season
of the year and the scarcity of passengers) having been con-
sidered by the Government to be beyond the outlay that
would be warranted.
THIS him rOOll-LAW CosturasioN.---A new as-
sistant commissioner has been appointed, namely, Charles
Sharman Crawford, Eeq , eon of William S. Crawford,
Et*, M.P.
