MONEY andCOMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, 0CT.23.--Our Mar-
ket still continues fl t and unsettled, at the same time
that' there is little alteiation in prices. It is difficult to
obtain the extreme' point' of lait week, but we cannot
reduce our quotations. The ordinary qualities of Ame-
rican are offered more free!y. No change in Surat or
Brazil. Egyptian and Sea lsladd continue very firm.
Speculators have taken I,aoo baits of American ; ex-
porters nothing. The sales to-day are about 4,000 bales
of all kinds. The Market is more steady than in the
early part of the week.

The resignation of Thiers' Ministry has not had
much effect on the British Funds as yet, owing to the
various opinions. formed on the subject, such as,
that in •all probability it_rnox_ cause a revolution, or
disturbances'in Paris by the Reptiblican `party';':- The
circumstance of Marshal Soult being' sent for by the
King argues well for the maintenance of peace, which
is the prevailing opinion in the City.

The intelligence from Syria is of a more favourable
nature than was anticipated.

Both the British and Foreign Markets are in
a stagnant state at present ; the speculators are
anxiously waiting for further intelligence from Paris,
which is expected in the course of the day. The gene-
ral topic of conversation in the City entirely relates to
the resignation of the French Ministry.
