CITY, QUARTER TO THREE,

Thti Plies of Cotton at Liverpool yesterdayl7ere
2,500 to 3,01 30 bales, including 1,000 bales American
for export. Business was dull, but there was a better
feeling.
f the interview between Lord John Russell
and the depu,#ation from Birmingham, with reference to
epo Er
ta.ri'way shares also improved a little.
A r
the financial at id commercial difficulties of the country
has, of couisef been a matter of general conversation in
the leading
ch,cles of the City this morning. There ap-
pears however to -
he but little of novelty in the general
discussions. Mr. Sa:
t, one of the deputation, spoke out
rather strongly, it is th..l
ught as he complained of the
extreme ignorance of
ters in their legislating on
questions of such vast importa.?co without inquiry, but
directly refusing to inquire. It is said his Lord-
ship was somewhat nettled at this. Certainly
is' is not the opinion here that his Lord-
ship is right that on affording further relief
there would be tenfold suffering hereafter. That
his Lordship is wavering in his views is absolutely cer-
tain, for what other construction can be placed to his
deliberate reply to an express question from Mr. Salt,
whether his Lordship was prepared to grant, at present
efficient relief and full inquiry into the effects of the ex-
isting monetary legislation. The reply is, "I do not
say that I will or I will not." It is pretty evident that
his Lordship is desirous of going no further without the
authority of Parliament.

There is a report just now current that an agency
house at Plymouth has been placed in difficulties. It
is understood that although the firm is on the spot de-
signated as a banker, yet it has no London banker as its
agent here. The principal sufferers will be those
locally situated, and probably many connected with the
navy have claims upon it.
There are not any arrivals In the City this morning
from the colonies.

Usually the sth of November is a day of fun in the
Stock markets with fireworks, &c., but this has been a
real business day. Consols for the Account have fluc-
tuated from 83k to 831, but have since receded to
83. Money Stock has been in ♦ery good demand.
The premium on Exchequer-bills has relied to
12s. discount, while the small are at 3s. premium.
Consols for immediate Transfer from 83i have just
fallen to 83. Bank Stock is 184 to 186 ; East India
Stock at 2281 ; India Bonds at 265. discount ; and the
New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been at
83i, and at 83 and 83k.

The Foreign Funds have been little influenced by the
rapid changes in Consols. Brazilian have been at 76k;
the New Bonds at 75 ; Danish at 791 ; Portuguese Five
per Cent. at 74} ; Spanish Passive at 51 ; and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 53* to 53k.
In the Railway Share Market there is more spirit dis-
played today. Great Western's old aro up about Si.
per share, the Midlands are also in request, as well as
the York and North Midland. A few of the foreign
lines were creeping up a trifle.
