CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The G otton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
firmer, with a moderate supply. Sales, 5,000 bales.
Prices we►•" about id. per lb. higher than on Friday
last, including 4,000 bales of American at Gd. to 63-d.
per lb. Sur at realised 311. to 4d. per lb. Railway
Shares improved, and were at advanced prices, with a
better market.

Indistinctly Irdirted at yesterday morning was a fact of
some important te, which later in the day b came some-
what confirmed, :and led to very considerable conversa-
tion. We must take it for granted that the fact is as
stated, viz., th .lat the rich banking firm of Jones
Loyd and Co., of Manchester, have intimated to
their customers that they are about to com-
mence a new era in the banking business
with which they- are connected. The leading and
most intelligible ft.ct communicated is, that all who are
indebted to the fi ca n arc called upon to pay the balances
against them. IThis is stringent, certainly, but not a
novel plan to g alt in old debts, as in cases of dis-
solution of pa.t.s:nership such a course is always
adopted. And hence it is surmised by many
that this is a e real aim, so as to let the
head of the estah'k,ishment get quiet to enjoy his otium
cum dignitute t from banking difficulties, with a
large fortune, and, a well-earned reputation. Ilev► the
new system is to 'ad.! carried on, and of what it is com-
posed, is a say red secret at present—at least to
the public, though, in all probability the modus
operandi has been communicated to the rela-
tives and immediate friends and most worthy of their
customers. At present the affair is very much clouded
in mystery, and .so we must for the present leave it.
There are not stay colonial arrivals annouuced in the
City this morning. •
We do not hear ,of any further failures. .

A fair amount of business has bee❑ done in the
Consol Market, and at full prices, say a rise from
83i to 84i, and 'die Three per Cent. Consols have ob-
tained the same value. The premium upon Exchequer-
bills has advanced. to 6s. discount. The small bills are
at ss. premium. Bank Stock has ruled from 184 to 187.
India Bonds under 1,0001. are at 20s. discount.

There is not Any variation requiring especial no•
tice, either in the Foreign Funds or the Share Market
today.
At an adjourned meeting of the creditors of Messrs.
S. Phillips and Go., now being held, a most favourable
account of the concerns of the firm was brought forward,
which elicited getieral satisfaction. It is too late to enter
into details.

Advices of August 28, from the Cape of Good Hope,
state that there had been no movement against the
Kafirs, but that Sir Henry Pottinger was assembling a
large force with the view of attacking the enemy.
Copious rains had fallen in the colony, and the crops
looked promising.
