CITY, QUARTER TO TIMPL
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
4,000 bales, including 250 bales American and 250 Surat
for export. Sales, 3,000 bales American at 614 d. to 7 %(1.,
20 Pernams at 711-Ad., 500 Egyptian at 7:%d. to 9d., 500
Surat at 33id. to 43,4 d., and 40 Sea Island at 15t,4d. to 183/4d.
per lb.—Railway Shares were flatter.
The West India mail-steamer has not yet been announced,
but it will be remembered that she has met with very cot
trary winds.
The loss of the Tiber steamer has occasioned quite a gloom
in shipping circles, though it is a happy circumstance that it
was attended with so little loss of life. Parties well ac-
quainted with the locality where this unfortunate disaster
has occurred, concur in the statement as to the extreme
danger to which vessels are exposed time, and with the
prevalence of fog, of course that danger must have been
greatly increased.
It may be mentioned as a circumstance which at the
present moment is of some importance, seeing the gene. al
failure of the potato crops, that the distinguised philosopher,
Baron Humboldt, proposes, with the sanction of the Prussian
Government, to carry out a systematic arrangement
of meteorological observations in Germany, making
available the telegraphs upon the different railways. The
object and the means proposed for its accomplishment appear
to be alike excellent.

We regret to state that the North of England Joint-Stock
Bank at Newcastle has been unable to make up matters, so
as to prosecute its business, and, consequently, that it has
suspended payment at head-quarters. The intelligence of
this event, which was of necessity partly anticipated, reached
town this morning.
The Stock Market has rallied a little this morning, and
the accounts from Paris are considered to be rather more
favourable in respect to the position of the Treasury. Con-
sols have ranged from 89% to 89% for present transfer, and
from 89% to 89% for Account. The scrip of Consols is %
to 4 prem., being also a partial rally. Exchequer-bills
have realised 3s. to 6s. premium. The New. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 91%, but are now 911,4
Bank Stock is worth 2031 A to 204.
The Foreign investments have been very.steady. Spanish
Five per Cents. realise 22%, and the Three per Cents. 33%.
Portuguese Bonds are merely nominal.
For railway shares the market is dull, but at the same time
rather firmer. We cannot quote an actual improvement in
prices except in one or two instances, the French lines being
most conspicuous in this respect.
