MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very
feeble. American sorts declined id. to ad. per lb. for
ord. and mid. Fair and better qualities were les,
offered. Brazil, Surat, and Egyptian were d. per lb.
lower. Sales, 2,000 bales.—ln Railway Shares there
WAS no improvement. There was a scarcity of money
beginning to be felt severely, and much dullness prevailed
in consequence.
A very considerable degree of interest is felt in the
City in the promotion of the subscription in favour of
the captain and crew of the "Emilio," who so humanely
went out of their course to rescue that portion of the
crew and the passengers of the Royal Mail steam-
packet which was wrecked on the Alacranes reef,
during the passage of the ship from Havannah
to Vera Cruz, on the 12th February last, the
details of which unfortunate loss have been already full)
made public. Including the subscriptions up to this
day, very nearly 1,5001. has been received, in which we
reckon the amount given by her Majesty's Government
to Captain Camp of 5001., with gold medal. It is
most sanguinely expected that the sum raised
will far exceed the amount above stated. To
encourage such praiseworthy exertions on the
part of foreigners towards our ships and crewr.; in
distress and danger, too strong a demonstration cannot
be made in such a maritime country as this.
Much curiosity is evinced in the perusal now of letters
from the provinces whey any authentic information is
contained of tho state of trade or the eff.ct of
the Bank of England measures. As far as

can be ascertained, the country banks are following in
the wake of the Bank of England, and are compelled to
limit the accommodation usually, afforded to their cus-
tomers. The intelligence from Paris also indicates the
continuance of rather an uneasy state of things, princi-
pally owing to the money wants of the Government.
At Amsterdam the rate of discount on bills of exchange
rules as low as four per cent., but the higher charges
prcvalunt here will attract capital from that quarter.
As the Bank of England now declines some of
the paper offered to it, and discounts generally
above the " minimum" rate, where paper has more than
a short time to run, it is hardly expected that there
will be any further public announcement of an increased
charge, for the present, even though the rate out of
doors is above the Bank of England terms.
The Funds have receded to day. Consols have been
86 to 87 for transfer, and 861 to 87k for May. Ex-
chequer bills are par to 2s. premium, and East India
Bends have been done at par. Bank Stock is worth
193 to 195. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 872 to 88.

The Foreign Stocks are completely neglected.
Spanish Five per Cents. realise 24, and the Passive,
Brazil Stock is worth 831. Dutch Four per
Cants. are 90 to 89a.
