MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUAR7'ER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was with-
out any improvement. Sales, 3,500 bales. American,
sold at qd. to 7,;(1. per lb. Railway shares were dull,
and without alteration.

The state of feeling in the City has been gloomier
this morning than even for some days past. Besides
Messrs. Lyall, Brothers, in the East India trade, with
liabilities to the extent of 300,0001. or 400,0001., we
have Messrs. Samuel Phillips and Son, connected with
the African and Indian trades, for 150,0001.; and we fear
we must add another house, though caution restrains us
at present from the mention of the name. Some people
ask what the Government is about ? The mere intima-
tion that the Bank was empowered to issue more notes
might stop the mercantile panic, and yet without any
necessity to bolster up insolvent firms. Houses that are
good cannot stand without some aid, when each suc-
ceeding failure adds to their losses ; nor can any evi-
dence be more conclusive upon this point than that
afforded by the balance-sheet of Mr. Robinson, the late
Governor of the Bank of England, who ought never to
have been allowed to suspend.
Most alarming reports have been circulated again
respecting a great trading company, said to have stopped
payment, with liabilities to the amount of two millions
sterling.
The Bank of England has added to the excitement by
refusing loans upon Stock and Exchequer-bills, even
.at
the rate established yesterday-5} per cent.
The Funds are most seriously affected this morning.
Consols opened at 85-1 for Money, and 85} for Ac-
count, but are 84i I now. Exchequer-bills are par to
35. premium. Bank Stock for Account is 196. No one
seems inclined to do business.

Spanish Three per Cents. are 28i, and Portuguese
Four per Cents. 23 ; Brazil Stock, ex dividend, is 78 ;
Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents. are 541 to 534.
Railway Shares hare been lower, as a matter of
courie, and it is, perhaps, a consolation that they can be
sold at all just now.
