CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very
feeble. American sorts declined -id. to id. per lb. for
ord. and mid. Fair and better qualities were less
offered. Brazil, Surat, and Egyptian were id. 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 consequent*. •

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 fully
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 a 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 crews 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 when any authentic information is
contained of the 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
prevalent 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 pablic announcement of an increased
charge, for the present, even though the rate out of
doors is above the Bank of England terms.
