MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIMER.
The accounts received from Liverpool this morning give
the following report of the state of the Cotton Market there
on Saturday last :
" There have been sold to-day about s.ooobales of Cotton,
including 3,000 bales on speculation. There is no change in
prices." _

We regret to learn that the Bencoolen has been totally
lost near Liverpool. The following has just been posted at
the North and South American Coffee-house upon this
melancholy subject :
"The undersigned, George Gray, seaman on board the
barque Bencoolen, from Cullen, gives the following account :
"The Bencoolen passed Holyhead about five o'clock on the
morning of theJth inst.. and at eight o'clock got a pilot on
board, and proceeded with the wind at W. to W.N.W. towards
the Victoria Channel. Hove-to from 9 A.M. to 3 rat., when
the ship proceeded, and passed over the Victoria Bar at
about half past six o'clock, the pilot being on deck from 3
rat. until she struck on Taylor's Bank about half an hour
after she passed the Bell buoy. When the vessel sl ruck, the
quarter-boat was immediately lowered, by order of the pilot,
as a means of safety in case the vessel should go to
pieces, and into which five of the seamen, and three
apprentices got, leaving eleven in number, in-
cluding the master and the pilot-, on board—the
sea at the time making a heavy breach over the ship, when
the boat carried away a three-and-a-half inch line. The
boats even attempted to regain :he vessel, but the boat hav-
ing twice filled, the crew determined on making the best cf
their way for the shore, the vessel at the time, from the
effect of her striking on the bank, was apparently breaking
up. The boat's crew landed at Prince's Dock Basin about
half-past nine P.M.

(Signe3) "GEORGE GRAY.
" P.S. Three steamers and the Liverpool life-boat were
immediately dispatched, but on reaching the spot where the
vessel struck little of the wreck could be seen, and it is sup-
posed that every soul on board has perished."
The arrival of the Trent West India mail steamer has
been announced at the Jamaica Coffee-house. She reached
Southampton Water at nine o'clock this morning. The letters
and papers brought by her will probably reach town this
afternoon.

The very general topic of conversation in the City this
morning is the turn the discussion will taße in the House of
Commons upon the important topics contained in the pro-
jected changes in the corn-laws and the tariff. The impres-
sion is that Government will have a good majority. It is
thought here that the debate will last eight or ten days at
least. -

A very firm market has pros-ailed-for all the British Secu-
rities to-day, and prices have advanced. Cona.:ls for Money
and the Account have advanced full per cent. on the
closing value of Saturday afternoon. Both have reached
973% ; the latter are now 1% lower, as some realising has been
going on. Exchequer-bills have commanded 41s. premium.
Bank Stock has reached 209. The Reduced Three per Cents.
973/4, and thO Three-and-a-Qiuirter per Cents., 100 lA.
The market for the Mexican Bonds has improved also. A
good remittance is expected by the Trent steamer, for the
Mexican Dividend Fund, and the Bonds have touched 31.
They are now a shade lower. Brazilian have improved to
83%; the French Three per Cents. to 83f. 75c.; and the Dutch
Two and-a-Half per Cents. to 60% 3/4.
The Share -Market has shown great firmness this morning.
All the unfounded fears about a panic, on account of railway
deposits, haying disappeared. The latest quotations are
annexed.

article was somewhat inactive, at unaltered currencies. Holders of
Foreign Wheat under lock were asking most extravagant prices.
This, of course, checked the Inquiry, and so little was doing that the
currencies were almost nominal. The supply of Barley was very
extensive ; owing to which, the sale for it was in a depressed state,
and in same Instances the fact, rs were compelled to submit to a fur-
ther reduction in prices of is per quarter. The show of Malt being
good, and the buyers operatinz with great caution, the Malt trade was
dull, and prices bad a downward tendency. In Oats very Mile was
doing, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath last week's curren-
cies. Beans, Peas, and Flour dull, but not cheaper.
