MONEY and COMMERCIAL lti GIVS.
(From The Sun of List Night.)

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, but
not lively. Sales, 4,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares con-
tinued dull.

The embarrassments of individuals, whether scripholders or
committeemen, we are glad to learn from various quarters
are being gradually lessened, though we feel assured that in
respect to the proceedings of the managing directors of many
schemes there is yet much to be settled. It never can be ex-
pected, while there are any men of public spirit, or any men dis-
posed to resist the wholesale squandering of their funds against
their expressed wishes, that matters will be allowed to go on
without some attempt to obtain justice. Without in any de-
gree prejudicing a case now before the Court of Chancery,
we think it highly desirable to call attention to it, as affording
to shareholders similarly situated a hint as to the proper
means of obtaining satisfaction, or, at any rate, of seeking it,
which, to men who act upon principle, is sometimes
little less consolatory. In the case in question,
a railway company is carried on, although the requisite de-
posits are not completed, the committee withholding shares
for their own purposes, or in order, as is stated, to realise a
premium. Besides this, the funds of the company were em•
ployed to "rig up" the prices in the market, and
the Bill was applied for, contrary to the ex-
pressed wishes of the shareholders, who threw it
out by petirioning after it had been read a third
time. Such are briefly the alleged circum,tances, and it is
now sought to prevent a return of the deposits lodged with
the Accountant Gereral to the Committee accused of such
illegal practices. The cases parallel to this are extremely,
numerous, as we are assured by many who must be con-
versant with them, and we hope the result will be in favour
of the ehareholders.

:n the Englkh Stocks there is a change for the better to-
day, and the interest of those who have profited by the late
reaction may be now to rally prices. Consols for the open-
ing have been 951/9 to 9514; Exchequer-bills have been
quiet at 16s. premium; the New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been marked 96;zi to 97; and the Three per
Cents. 95 to 1,8.

The Fo.eidn Bonds have been steady, and there is to be
he noted especially the firmer appearance of Portugue,e
Stock, the Three per Cents, being 46, and the Four per Cents.
47; Dutch Four per Cents. are 91%; Mexican Five per Cents.
have been quoted, 28%8 to 29; and the Deferred, 16 4 to
1634 ; Brazil New Bonds are 8J to 82.
With stocks we have also had some improvement in rail-
way shares and scrip, and there is more doing.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
LAUNCH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA'S YACHT.
At twelve o'clock on Wednesday this splendid Fpecimen of
British naval architecture was launched front White's
celebrated yard into the Medina. The Archduke being a,
Portsmouth, and expected down to witness the launch,
caused great interest to be excited; numbers assembled, ,1).
yachts and merchant vessels were gaily dressed out with
colours, as were the different wharfs and consular establish-
ments. Preparations were made at the Royal Yacht Squa-
dron House to tire a salute, but the Duke came not, and the
vessel was named, by the lads' of the Russian Consul at
this port, the Queen Victoria, by permission of her Illajesty.
and at the particular request of the Emperor a bust of her
Majecy is to grace her bows. Her dimensions are as follow :
Keel fir tonnage.. 93lt. Oin.
Breadth extreme
Depth
Burthen in tons, 260.

-
She is to be manned by forty-tive Wel,hmen. Twenty-
cne seamen and a master have already arrived and taken
charge. She was masted the same evenh.g.
Her Majesty is expected to arrive at Osborne House on
the 19th inst. Great exertions are making to forward the
new buildings. So many men are taken on here and at
N"rris Ca-de, that the hay harvest has been very much re-
tarded for want of hands. Mowers can hardly be obtain eel
for money; 6s. and 7s. are given per acre for cutting grass,
the usual price being from 3s. 6d. to 4s.
