MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night. )
In the Liverpool Cotton market yesterday the sales were
7,000 bales, incluang 1,000 American for export and 500 on
speculation. Pernambuco and Msranham have been Sd. to
63/4d ; 150 Egyptian, 61h(1 ; I,OA Surat, 234 d. to 270. per
lb., and nearly 5,000 American.—Shares were improving.
It is stated, in advices from the Mack Sea, that the Rus-
sians had not gained much ground in the eastern part of
Circassia, but were certainly in a better position in the west.
The in'taktants of the plains and mountains had certainly
not entirely submitted to the rule of the invaders. but ap-
pear to have been partly inveigled into a tranquil bearing.
Commerce, all subduing commerce, is said to be the medium
employed for i he subjug Ition of the brave Circissians, who tro
accused, however, of the Oriental failing of cupidity. Tile
Russian Governor, aware, it seems, of their national failing,
tied established marts and fairs for the exchange of mer-
chandise, and the motive of curiosity, which •at first at-

In a pamphlet, by Mr. Thomas Turner h Beckett, published
this week, the cause of the provisional committeemen is warmly
taken up against the allottees, we must say in reference Co
schemes which have been honestly managed—and oh, how
few are these—with sonic show of reason. Allotteee, where
all has been fairly managed, shoald pay a moderate contri-
bution towel ds exoense. tor in reality they encouraged the
mania, but one or two ;billings per share ought to accom-
plish all this, and we hear of scores who, when Ratiefied that a-
concern hod ben brought out, and lefiire the panic occurred
(for this is au important point), would willingly pay that
amount.
There has been a very marked improvement to-day
.in the
value of the Public Securities and the business doing's to a
fair extent. Consols are 957 to 96N for present transfer,
and 9614 to 96%. for Account. The premium on Exchequer-
bills has been 235. to 275., and upon East India Bonds under
1,000/. 323. to 335. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have touched 9714. and the Three per Cents. 9514.
Bank Stock is 2041/ to 205%.
The Foreign market is quiet, hut the quotations have been
very well supported. Spanish Three per Cents, have rea-
lised 3634 to 37; Portuguese Four per Cents., 57; and Bra-
zilian Five per Cents., 82. Chilian Bonds are 95%; Gre-
nada, 22; and Peruvian, 37. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been marked 59 to 5914.
Railway Shares again exhibit considerable buoyancy.

—Wednesday the Lord Mayer and the Lady Mayoress gave a splendid
entertainment to the judges and many of the principal members of

luxurious prodigality by Messrs. Ring and lirymer, were the Vice-
Chancellor and Lady Shadwell, Lord Chief Justice Tinial, Chief
Baron Pollock and Lady Pollock, Judges Park, Wightfnan, Alderson,
Rolfe, Erle, Platt, Dodson, and Haggerman, and their ladies ; the

Frederick and Mrs. Smith, Colonel and Mrs. Harris, Captains Paley
and Steele and their ladles; Sir F. and Lady Simphinson ; Sergeants
Talfourd, Channel, Thompson, Allen, Wilkins, Hain, and thelr ladies
the Mayor of Liverpool, Mr. Bethel, Mr. Waltelin, Mr. Clarkson,
Mr. Bodkin. Mr. Laurie, Mr. Locke, Br, Merewether, and several
other barristers, and their ladies ; the Chamberlaitg• the Common-
Sergeant, Mr. Pritchard, the High Bailiff of Southwark, and other
City officers, and their ladies; Mr. C. B. Baldwin, M.P., and Mrs.

ladies; Sheriff Laurie and Mrs. Laurie; Under-Sheriffs Wire and
Bircham and their ladies, &c. The usual toasts were proposed, :le
knowledged, and drunk with much cordiality, and the entertaimnent
passed off with more than ordinary Eclat.
A correspondent, who thinks that the " unclaimed
dividend" books of the Bank of England should be open to the whole
public, is not aware of the dangerous consequences that might result
from complying with his wish. At present, books containing the
names of stockholders. and the date Ott which the tint dividend was
payable, are to he obtained ; and though the price of these may be
beyond the reach of the humblest classes, we do not believe that this
would preclude all chance of their recovering their property, if they
could give a tenable reason for supposing they had a claim. If too
numb IntOrtnation were afforded, a great facility would be given to
fr.ti,d and tOrgery, and we might have a repetition of the famous
Itarior" C 4140 constantly occurring. The oflioers of the accountant's
depertment, therefore. reserve to themselves the Power of giving de-
tailed statements to persons who show a right to receive them, and
very properly refuse to gratify Whit Way hi Idle ctWliolty, ir 191 W
