mast, and other signals of distress flying, was fallen in with 22d
ult., lat. 33, lon. 61, by the Lapland, Walker, arrd. here from New

lost sight of the barque during the night.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TBREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet
but steady. Sales 4,000 balgs, including 1,000 American
on speculation. There was no change in prices. Shares
were dull, and generally drooping.
There are not any late arrivals in the City this morning.
It is now pretty clear, as we have anticipated, that the de •
bate on the corn-laws, will not be concluded before Satur-
day morning next. Not only do the merchants of Liverpool,
as referred to in the House of Commons last night, take a deep
interest in the early settlement of the corn-law question, but
those of the City of London and elsewhere, are equally desir-
ous of having a definitive vote upon this most important
topic.

The English Securities show no signs of an alteration,
and are dull still. The small purchase of the Chancery
broker, and the daily investment by the Govern-
ment broker, serve to maintain prices, as although
Thursday's settlement is expected to be Bullish,
there is no inclination on the part of the public to
make investmeats. Bank Stock has been 208%, being not
quite so good as yesterday. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 98% to 97%, being lower; a railway
company is said to be a seller. Consols are 95% to 96 for
money, and 95% to 96 for time. The premium on Exche-
quer-bills is 365. to 38s.
The Foreign Bonds are tetally neglected. Portuguese
Four per Cents. are down to 58 to 58%. Brazilian Stock
has been at 833%. Duteh Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been 59%, and the Four per Cents. 95 to .
Shares are flat again to-day.
