MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
6,000 bales, the market closing firm, but with less ani-
mation.

There are not any late accounts from the colonies an-
nounced in the City this morning.
The Bank returns in the week ending the 2d inst. give the
following remits, as compared with its predecessor ;
An increase in the notes issued of 18,000 L, or to 27,049,510/.
An increase in the "rest" of 5,4921., or to 3,364,576/.
A decrease in the Public Deposits of 498,0761., or to
2,698,953/.

A decrease in the other Deposits of 732,8771., or to
17,710,9871.

A slight decrease in the Seven Day Bills.
In the other securities there is a considerable decrease, say
of 852,0701. or to 17,884,5321.
In the bullion there is an increase of 78,6571., or to
13,705,827/.

Consols for the Account have reached 96% to-day, and for
Money, the price has ruled from 9614 to 961/2. Money Stock
is decidedly in request. A considerable amount of business
has been done this morning. Exchequer Bills have advanced
to 265. premium. Bank Stock is heavy at 2041/2. East
India Stock is firm at 262; South Sea Stock at 107; and the
New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. at 97%.
The Foreign Market was but thinly attended to-day.
Mexican Bonds are heavy at 313 A ; Portuguese Five per
Cents. at 79 ; Spanish at 25 ; and the Dutch Four per Cents.
are at 91% to 92.
There is a decidedly better feeling prevailing to day in the
market for Railway Shares, and bond fide scrips. The
prices of all, or very nearly all, are looking up.
The proceedings in Parliament are watched with
much anxiety as to the progress made in the passing of Bills.
There is little fear as to a depressing influence being made
by future calls on railways in the course of operation. The
shareholders of the Dublin and Galway Company will
be pleased to learn that the Bill for constructing the
line was read a third time in the House of Lords.
The petition presented against the Bill, purporting to be
signed by the shareholders, upon examination, it appeared,
were parties who had sold their shares, and were desirous
to get rid of future liability, having signed the deed.

Loss OF LIFE AT MILBANK. —Mr. Bedford, Coroner
for Westminster, resumed at the Green Man, Little George-street,
Story's Gate, on Thursday last, the adjourned inquiry touching the
respective deaths of George Richards, aged 57, and Martin Murray,
aged 28, the two unfortunate individuals who lost their lives by the
breaking down of a travelling crane at Milbank, on Friday week.
After a long investigation, in which the insecurity and the insuf-
ficiency of the crane were demonstrated, the jury, after a long con-
sultation, returned the following verdict:--" That the two deceased
died trona the effects of injuries received from the breaking down of a
travelling crane at the Sheldon stone wharf, owing to its insecure
state, and they (the jury) levy a deodand of 5/. upon the same. And
the said jury are of opinion that no blame is attributable to Messrs.
Sartois, the proprietors of the wharf."
