sent week.
Mr. SEIANV suggested that an open air meeting shoureld.
After much discussion, it was agreed that the agile-
foriri Durham,
the
tation of the metropolis should be left in the hands of
the executive.
Mr. MITCHELL delivered his report from Rochdale,
and urged upon the delegates the necessity of union and
unanimity iu their body. At present there was a decided
split among the Chartists of Lancashire, owing to the
recent conduct of Mr. O'Connor.
The delegates then resumed the consideration of the
report of the organization committee, and after a long
discussion, resolved to appoint, provisionally, twenty
commissioners, whose appointments have all to be sub-
ject to the confirmation ot the country.
The election of the commissioners occupied the As-
sembly until half-past one o'clock, when it adjourned
until three.
In the course of the morning proceedings, Mr. Briggs,
of Sheffield, and one or two other delegates, stated that
the people were getting dissatisfied with their proceed-
ings, axd that they were expecting almost daily to be
recalled to their homes.

MoNEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
steady. Sales 5,000 bales. Railway Shares, although
in but limited request, had a tendency to advance.
The Belgian and other Continental papers received
to-day contain no news of particular interest. The
want of specie for the payment of wages was felt as a
great inconvenience by the manufacturers who had me-
morialized the Government to order the payment in
specie of the notes of the Societe Generale where the ob-
ject was to distribute the amount among workmen.
Another arrival from the Cape of Good
Hope gives us dates three days later than those
already to hand. There is no political news of in-
terest. The excellent precautions adopted to ensure
the tranquillity of the frontier were proving most
effectual, for even cases of stealing were become rare.
The Kafirs, indeed, are likely now to be organized into
useful communities, and to be taught more effectually
the arts of peace. Trade was increasing, but the im•
ports were stated to be too large for the exports, now
the military expenditure is the eastern province is likely
to be diminished.
The failures in the north of Europe still continue,
and much inquietude prevails in consequence.
In mercantile circles, having an interest in the

German trade, the idea is entertained in many quar-
ters that the Prussians will push their successes, and by
the aid of gun-boats and pontoons even penetrate into
the islands, and that the exasperation has become so
great as to render exceedingly difficult at present an
amicable arrangement. Lord Palmerston has admitted
also that Russia has been applied to, and the question for
consideration is how far that power will allow
