....ATE FOG.—A BODY FOUND THIS DAY.—
This forenoon, on the receding of the tide from the
timbers near Waterloo-bridge, on the Surrey side, the
body of a man was discovered on the mud. A shell
having been procured, the deceased was removed to St.
John's vault. It was ascertained that his name was
John Rogers, a lighterman, who was drowned off his
barge on the night of the late dense fog, the 2d instant,
and for the recovery of whose body a reward of 11. was
offered. The deceased has left a wife and five children
totally unprovided for.
WARRINGTON ELECTION.—It is talked of in this
borough, by persons who are likely to know the truth of
the matter, that it is the intention of William Alcard,
Esq., who contested this borough at the late election on
the _Liberal interest, to petition against the return of his
Opponent, Gilbert Greenall, Esq., on the ground of gross
bribery having been resorted to in the forwarding the
interest of Mr. Greenall.—Manchester Guardian.

THE LATE COLONEL ALLEN.--This officer, whose
demise we recently announced, was for many years con-
nected with the 10th Regiment of Foot. He entered
the army in 1808, and was placed on the half-pay list in
1835. With the regiment already mentioned he served
at Walcheren, in 1809. He subsequently took part in
the campaign of Sicily, under Sir J. Stewart; and at
Naples, under Lord W. Bentinek. While under Sir
William Clinton, he was engaged on the coast of Spain.
He was also present at the taking of the Island of Ponza.
UsErni. INVENTIONS.-A working engineer at
Preston has invented an apparatus for folding news-
papers, as they are received from the printing machines.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
firm, the sales being 4,000 bales. American sorts were
steady. There was no change in prices. —Railway
Shares were not quite so good. Prices generally were
rather lower.
The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Measrs.
Lamont! and Co., was well attended, and a good business
done at advanced prices. The following are a few of
the quotations:---

Without being too sanguine as to the future prospects
of commercial credit and of confidence, there is
certainly some reasons for stating that to all appearance
the worst has, passed ; yet, that additional disasters
may, and will, occur is pretty certain. These are con-
sidered and talked of in the circles in which mer-
chants and others are principally interested. The
public of late have been satiated with reports of
anticipated disasters. No additional on dits of this sort
shall we refer to, though one's ears are almost hourly
bored by would-be newsmongers, anxious to give the
earliest information of what has occurred, and what may
happen in a day or two. One plain fact is worth a
dozen such off-hand and very injurious inuendoes.
Let seine of our contemporaries say what they
please to the contrary, :there is an easement in the
Money Market at head-quarters. It may take, it is
true, some time before the beneficial influence will be
extended to what may be considered the second and the
third classes of mercantile paper.
By an arrival from New York by a merchant ship,
we have three or four days' later information from
that and other parts of the United States. The papers
are singularly barren of information, nor is there any
later news from Mexico. The Exchanges at New York
remain without variation.
There are not any failures announced in the City this
morning.
The Stock Market has been rather more steady to-
day, the extreme fluctation in Consols for the Account
having amounted to but I per cent. The present price
is 84k. In money stock several purchases have been
made, and i per cent. higher than for time ; at present
841 is, perhaps, the nearest value. Bank Stock has
been called as high as 188. The value of Exchequer-
bills has again touched par, having opened at 4s. dis-
count. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been
quoted at 841 and 844.
The French loan has been taken at Paris at 75E 25c. ;
but only a slight effort has been produced upon the
quotations of French Stock here, which has been sold
at 115 f. 50c. for the Five per Cents. There is no price
for the Three per Cents. Spanish Three per Cents.
have realised just now 27k, and the Fire per Cents., 161.
Chilian Bonds have realised 661, and Russian, 105.
Venezuelan Bonds are 34 to 35, and the Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents, have fallen from 534 to 534.
The list of the Railway Share market contains very
many quotations, but the alterations are limited.
The Bank meeting has just broken up, but no an-
nouncement has been made of any alteration in the rate
of interest of money advancei on approved securities.
