Most of the Cabinet Ministers are expected to be
present at the Cabinet dinner this evening, given by
Lsrd Lansdowne, at Lansdowne House, with the ex-
ception of Mr. Macaulay, who is detained by his election
at Edinburgh. Lord Lansdowne, we regret to state,
has been attacked both with gout and lumbago. Mr.
Macaulay is expected to arrive in town to morrow.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000
bales, 2,000 being on speculation. Shares have been quiet.
There are no arrivals with later news to-day.
The American advices, as given in The Sun yesterday,
were received in the City very soon after three o'clock,
an instance of promptitude and exertion which gave a great
deal of satisfaction to the large number of merchants
engaged in the trade with the United States and Canada.
The cotton crop, next to the Mexican war, was in America
the all-absorbing topic, and a New York broker of high
standing thus writes upon this subject :
" In regard to the crop, public opinion, which has been
at variance so much during the season, has centered on
2,050,000 bales, although some parties are disposed to
push their estimates a fraction higher. The growing
crop has lately commenced to assume an important posi-
tion in the calculations of future prices for this staple.
The Season, throughout the whole extent of that section
of the country, has been unpropitious for the plant. During
April and May severe rains, accompanied by a remarkably
cold temperature, inflicted so much injury as to render re-
planting necessary over a very large extent of that region.
The first bloom of cotton on record this season in Georgia
was on the 10th ofJune ; and in the year of the large crop,
in 1842, on the 17th May; again, in 1844, another large crop
fear, the first bloom there was on the 25th May, and about
that date commencing to be general in that section. It is
remarkable that there never has been a large crop of cotton
raised where the bloom has appeared later than the 26th
May ; for long experience has proved that the advantages of
a late autumn have never counterbalanced a late bloom."
The meeting to raise subscriptions for the sufferers by the
Newfoundland conflagration has been held to-day, and there
is every reason to hope that the public will respond to the
call of the very influential Committee which has taken in
hand the task of raising subscriptions. •

ing, and there is less doing. Consols 95% ; New Three-

Silesia, has been appointed Extraordinary Aulic
Commissioner of Galicia, in consequence of the re-
tirement of the Archduke FERDINAND as Governor of
that province.

The Nuremberg Gazette states that an ordonnance
will shortly appear at Vienna, establishing freedom
of manufacture in certain branches.

The Augsburg Gazette has the following under the
head of Carlsruhe :

"In the sitting_ of the 4th inst. of the second Chamber of
the States, the Deputy Bassermann declared that the Ger-
man Diet did not possess the confidence of the nation, as it
did not know how to protect the national interests towards
foreigners, a proof of which might be found in what had just
taken place at Schlesvic Holstein. M. de Dusch. Minister of
State, replied that the Germanic Diet fully respected the
rights of the nation, and that as far as regarded the nation-
ality of Schlesvic Holstein, the Diet wottld render it all the
necessary protection."

The Cour Royale of Douai has appointed Coun-
cillor WANDERWALLEN and the Avocat-General to
institute an investigation into the causes of the
accident on the Great Northern Railway.
On Thursday night the KING of the FRENCH wrote
a letter, with his own hand, to the Prince DE LIGNE,
the Belgian Ambassador, to assure him of the safety
of the Princess and his five children, who had escaped
from the accident on the Northern Railroad.

Captain M. MEDoIN, lately commanding the steam-
corvette Lavoisier, now on the coast of Barbary, has
arrived at Toulon, to take the command of the Dante
steamer, which is intended to be sent as a present to
the Bey of Turns. Captain MEDOIN, with the per-
mission of the French Government, enters the ser-
vice of the BEY, and will be placed at the head of his
naval force, with from 15,000 to 20,000 francs fixed
salary. The engineers of the Dante will also remain
in the Tunisian service, and it is considered probable
that the BEY will demand the services of other
French officers, as it is his intention to organize a
small steam navy.
