MONEY and COMMERCIAL A S

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday, thi
sates were 4,000 bales. The market was quiet, but firm.
Prices being without alteration. Railway Shams wen-
flat and lower, with very little doing.
A firm connected iwith the Mediterranean trade is
stated to be in difficulties.
The journal of the Duchy of Limburg, under date of
Maastricht, July 29, announces that the Dutch Govern
meat will resist by force any attempt of the German
rarliament to carry out its resolution of annexing the
duchy. M. Lightenvelt was already adopting military
Precautions. The stock market at Amiterthm was
affected in consequence, and at Hamburgh, Berlin and
other places, business was very dull in public securities
and shares, the state of affairs in Italy and Denmari,
occasioning some apprehension.
The Prussian Government has issued an official
notice to the effect, that as hostilities may now be con-
sidered as having recommenced with Denmark, and the
late armistice as at an end, the cruisers or the latter
power may be expected immediately to resume captures,
and consequently it will be adviseable for all Prussian
ships to remain in port, or to protect themselves
against what the official notice terms " this de-
plorable change in circumstances." The commerce of
Germany must suffer incredibly by the resumption of the
war, but if the united strength of the Confederation is
brought against Denmark, according to the tecommen•
dation of the Diet, the latter power must succumb,
unless actively supported, as no doubt it will be, by
Russia and Sweden. The position of the French towards
Italy is also exciting uneasiness, and further accounts
from Verona are anxiously looked for.
Sxvxnzi VALLEY RAILWAY.—We find that this pro-
ject, although delayed, is not abandoned, the promoters
having now put themselves in a position to proceed with
it as soon as the proper time shall arrive; the connexion
which the proposed line will give is an important one,
and the districts to be accommodated by it much in want
of a railway. We observe that the undertaking has the
support of all the interests affected by it.
The Funds have been flatter to-day, and Money Stock
is lower than are Consols for account, the former having
been 86! to i, and the latter 864 to i. The news of
Charles Albert having defeated the Austrians has now
made the market firmer at 86i ~ but there is evidently
a mistrust as to the stability of prices in the absence of
purchases by the public. Exchequer-bills have been
31s. to 345. premium. Bank Stock is at 198. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 87i to
861, and the Three per Cents. 864 to -.
In the Foreign Market there is very little doing.
Mexican Bonds being more buoyant, however, at 17i to
it. Grenada are at 12, and Peruvian at 30. Brazilian
Small have been 71i • Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 42 to 31 and the Four per Cents. 69i.
Shares are rather firm, and there is not mach doing
beyond the settlement of the account.
