MONEY and COMMERCIAL SEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIMER.
There was no alteration yesterday in the Liverpool
Cotton Market. Sales about 4,000 bales. Pricts
were without alteration.—Railway Shares were dull and
lower.
Much satisfaction is expressed in the City at the open
and business-like statement of M. Goudchaux con-
cerning the resources of the Government, the condition
of the Finance Department, and his determination not to
resort to the assignat system. If the statements of M.
Goudchaux are to be accepted in good faith, as we be-
lieve they may be, and events do not thwart the
Minister's plans, we may hope to see France relieved
much sooner than might have been supposed from the
pressure of its financial embarrassments.
The declining prosperity of our industrious classes
must ever be an object of solicitude, and it is usually
hilrld that the savings' banks furnish tee best index of
prosperity or the reverse. We regret, on this account,
to find an unfavourable report from some of these insti-
tutions in the manufacturing districts. The Birming-
ham District Provident Society, which has been in ope-
ration ten years, appears to have but a limited amount
placed for safe custody, 6,679 deposits making up a sum of
less than 5001. The committee, in their report for the year
ending the 30th June, state that " it is with regret,
however, that your committee observe the number of de-
positors is greatly diminished, having fallen off to the
extent of thirty in each district; and also that the num-
ber of visitors in Lady Wood district is less by two
than even the very small number of last year. Notwith-
standing these drawbacks, it is a great satisfaction to
your committee to know that the benevolent labours of
the visitors are still highly appreciated by those from
whom they make their collections; and that, in propor-
tion to its means, the society is still fully effectual for the
purposes contemplated in its formation. During the
whole ten years which have now elapsed from its first
institution its useful course has never once been
seriously impeded; while those who have kindly engaged
in its service continually experience increasing satisfac-
tion from the benevolent labours in which they are en-
gaged. The union of the middle and poorer classes of
society by such an interchange of benefits was never
more desirable than at the present time; and this insti-
tution affords a favourable opportunity to all those who
would aid in the great work of social amelioration, of
contributing to it in a way which is not only safe and
unexceptionable, but which the experience of the last
ten years has proved to be attended with the most useful
-results."
There is no change to-day in the Corn Market.
The dividends are in course of payment at the Bank
Of England, and there is a full attendance of annuitants.
The railway statistics of the Times, if report speaks
truly, are likely to receive what they so imperatively re--
quire, viz., an official contradiction. The mischievous
Itendency they have in the plausible shape put by the
disinterested calculators, parties, be it remarked, who
are intimately connected with the Stock Exchange, even
if they do not write immediately under the direction of
the committee, needs no remark on our part; but, as we
have stated before, there is but one way to put a stop to
false statistics, and that is by publishing such as are

Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade to acquaint you, for the infor-
mation of the Committee for managing the affairs of
Lloyd's, that intelligence has been received by her Ma-
jesty's piwernment, that a decree has been passed Ly
the Moitican Government, temporarily closing to foreign

ROYAL SEA-BATHING INFlRMARY.—Yesterday a
meeting of the directors of this institution was held at
the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, previous to the
holding of the general court of governors at the same
place. The minutes of the last meeting of directors
having been read and confirmed, and the routine buai-
ness of the committee of directors disposed of, the meet-
ing was adjourned for the purpose of holding the general
court of governors; but there not being a sufficient num •
ber of governors present to form acourt, the meeting
was adjourned until April next, it being announced that
the general anniversary would take place on the 31st of
October instant, at which the Lord Mayor would preside.
Since the foundation of this institution, upwards of
20,000 persons have received its benefit—the number
admitted having gradually increased each year, in some
instances there being as many as 213 in-patients, and
200 out- patients on the books at one time. The meeting
then adjourned.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat from market having
been on the increase since our last report, the show of
samples today was toll rably good, but of very middling
quality. Selected parcels of both red and white com-
manded a steady sale, at prices full• ( qual to those ob-
tained on Monday. The middling and inferior kinds
commanded very little attention, and in some instance.i
the quotation had a downward tendency. Upwards of
20,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have core fresh to
hand this week. This morning really fine qualities
mostly sold at extreme rates. The middling and out of
condition sorts were somewhat easier to purchase. The
supply of English Wheat has somewhat increased.
Malting parcels moved off steadily at full prices; other
sorts were easier to purchase. We had a retail demand
for Malt, the prices of which were well supported. The
supply was very limited. The Oat trade was firm, and
last week's prices were well maintained. Beans, Peas,
Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour were dull, but not
cheaper.

With both Engli7l7:-..zarJeliniieasts, our market to-
day, was but scantily supplied, owing to which, and the
favourable state of the weather for slaughtering, the
beef trade was steady, at prices fully equal to those ob-
tained on Monday, and at which, a good clearance was
effected. The general quality of the beasts was inferior
The numbers of sheep were nearly 1,000 head less than
those exhibited on Friday last, while the demand for that
description of stock was firm; but we have no improve.
ment to notice in value. The primest old Downs, which
were scarce, sold at from 4s 10d to .5s par Sibs. Calves
were in short supply, and good request, at an advance in
prices of quite 2d per slbs. Prime qualities of Veal
produced 4s 4d to 4s 6d per Slbs. The sale for Pigs
was firm, at full rates of currency. Milch Cows sold
heavily, at from 13/ 10s to 171 each, including their small
calf.

The demand for the best samples of new Hops con-
tinues steady, at fully last week's quotations. In the
middling and inferior qualities comparatively little busi
ness is doing, at low rates of currency. Yearling and
old Hops are almost nominal in value. The duty is
called 210,000/. New Hops:—Sussex Pockets, 45s to
545; Weald cf Kent ditto, 48s to 60s; Mid and East
Kent ditto, 63s to 105 s; Farnhams, 105 s to 110 s per cwt.
