MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY T VIE.LVB O'CLOCK
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.—The sales
this day, 2,500 bales, at very flat prices.
Arrivals this morning.—French mail and ship letters
from Calcutta, 15th October, very old date.
The prevailing easterly winds again prevent arrivals from
the westward, and the only information we have this morn-
ing, of any consequence, is the Speech of the Queen of
Spain on the opening of the Cortes ; it is looked upon as
well written—that part of the Speech which states, " My
Government will present to you the budget, and other laws
which have been considered urgent and necessary for the
administration, the progress of public wealth, and the relief
of both foreign and national creditors of the State;"
which undoubtedly is a favourable omen to the Spanish
bondholders ; still there is an existing suspicion among the
speculators in the above Stock, that the promise will not
he adhered to for some time to, come, in consequence of
which it had not bad any effect in the Spanish market to
the present hour.

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were much
the same as on last post-day.

INN rums.

yesterday at 901 both for Account and Money,

To-morrow, being settling-dtty in the British Market,
the brokers and jobbers are busy in arranging their diffe-
rences. At present the extreme fluctuation during the
Account has been about per cent., consequently an easy
settlement will take place. We cannot as yet state
whether it will be a Bear or Bull. Account.

THE BUILDER OF THE COURT AN IN-
, SOLTYNT. —On Tuesday last, James Ferth, a builder applied
to the Insolvent Debtors' Court to be discharged. The in-
solvent had been in prison upwards of two years, and now came
up by charity. He sustained a loss of 8,000/. by the new Palace,
and 3001. on his contract from the Board of Works to build
the Court in the year 1820. The Court required some evidence
about an assignment, and adjourned the case.
THE PARKS AND KENSINGTON GARDENS.
—Notwithstanding the severity of the weather for the last
few days, the Serpentine, in Hyde-park, as also the
Ornamental Waters in St. James's-park, are only partially
frozen over ; the ice, therefore, being considered in a very dan-
gerous state, the Royal Humane Society this morning caused
to be placarded in different parts of each of these parks notices
to that effect. The ice on the Round Pond, opposite the
palace in Kensington Gardens is, however, this morning consi-
dered very good, and trill no doubt in the afternoon be crowded
with numbers of fashionahles. On the ice in the Regent's-
park, although not considered in a very secure state, a number
of persons were this morning skating and sliding from an early
hour, without, we are happy to say, any accident occurring.

HORIZONTAL FLAT WATCHUS,
very small and neat with acearately finished jewelled move'
nsents, are offered in silver cues, Four Guineas and a Half
each ; geld cases, enamel dial, Seven Guineas; silver dill,
Eight Guineas; gold dial, Nine Guineas sada. A printed
warranty is given with fixed terma,,n which the Wattle., will
always receive any attention requircd.
