MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
We have again to report the arrival of a very moderate
quantity of Wheat of home produce for our markets, coast-
wise as well as by land carriage and sample; yet the general
quality was good, especially the new parcels (which sold at
prices varying from 46s to 56s per quarter), which formed
the bulk of the supply on offer to-day. The weather being
somewhat changeable, and the attendance of buyers good, the
demand for all kinds of English Wheat was very steady, at
fully, but at nothing quotable beyopd, Monday's quotations,
and a fair clearance was effected. The show of Foreign
Wheat was, owing to many of the large importers having
withdrawn their samples for the present, small. Fine dry
qualities were in good request at very full prices, but all
other kinds were much neglected. The show of Barley was
trifling. The best grinding parcels were held at quite as
much money. In all other kinds comparatively little was
doing. Although the supply of Malt was limited, the malt
trade was in a very sluggish state, at Monday's currencies.
The best English feed Oats moved off steadily at late rates,
but the foreign parcels on offer commanded very little atten-
tion. Beans, Peas, and Flour, as last advised.

SHIPWRECK OF
A m E R i

dreadful d
three miles westward of the Seal Islands, and within 200
yards of the spot
wrecked
a short time since. The vessel that met with the
misfortune was the William Abrams, a fine ship, 600 tons
burden, from Boston to Calcutta. It occurred on the morn-
ing of the 3d of last month, at about two o'clock, and within
an hour after she had struck the ship heeled over on her
broadside and quickly went to pieces, the crew saving them-
selves by floating ashore on the spars and portions of her
rigging. There cannot be a doubt that her loss arose from
the same circumstance as that of the Columbia, viz., the '
rapidity of the currents off the Seal Islands. It was the
belief of the master of the William Abrams that when she
struck she was forty miles from the islands ; she had not,
however, taken observation for four days previous, in conse-
q uenured ce of the continuance of foggy weather. The ship was
ins for 12,.
Sir George Hayter, principal painter of history in or•
dinary to her Majesty, is at present at Interlacken, en route
to Italy, where he has been recommended to pass some time,
in the hope of re-establishing his health. Sir George, it will
be recollected, suffered severely from a railway accident last
year.
REPRESENTATION OF STOCKPORT.— A. requisition to
Mr. Cobden is now in course of preparation in Stockport, re-
questing him to continue as one of the Members for the bo-
rough, in the event of an election. The idea seems to have
been started in consequence of the requisition to Mr. Cobden,
to the same effect, emanating from Manchester.
A dreadful accident occurred yesterday evening, at
half-past six o'clock, at the terminus of the South Western
Railway. A plate-layer, James Begally, of Woking, ran

MONEY and COMMERCI AL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 3,600 bales, including 2,000 American at 3`f,d. to 5•;40.
The market was quiet; and, compared with Friday's rates,
American Cottons at and under 4Ad. were easier to buy.
Other kinds are unchanged.
It appears by letters received by the last West India mail
from the Anglo-Mexican Mines (one of the many companies
started in 1824 and 1825, the bulk of which has long gone to
the " tomb of all the Capulets"), that this concern is in
steady, if not very prolific, activity. From a report of the pro-
ceedings of the Uompany now before us, we find that in the
year ending the 30th of June last the directors here had paid
off 8,3461. of the additional capital borrowed to keep up the
mines in the Company's lands in Mexico, and that there is
a balance in the bankers' hands of 2,1701. 3s. The agent
of the company, Mr. Brough, has recently made a good
remittance on general account. It is satisfactory to find,
after the " thousand and one" failures in mining enterprise,
the money to conduct which was raised in England, that
one of them at least, is in a healthy state. The agent named, is
his dispatch of the Asuncion mine, remarks a considerable
improvement in it, consequent on the introduction of Bus-
cones (who take a certain share of ores raised in lieu of
wages), the result of which had been, that for a period of four
weeks there had been a profit of 8,003 dollars. Some of the
other mines of the company are well spoken of in the pre-
sent advices.
A general meeting of the Shipowners' Society was held •
' this morning at the Hall of Conmierce, to receive a report
from the general committee relative to its transactions for
the past year. The report read was a voluminous document.
The concluding paragraph of this document is rather interest-
ing. It states that—
" It is consolatory to have observed that in reply to a
question from the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord
John Russell, in a recent discussion on the sugar duties, de-
dared that ` he did not propose in any respect to alter the
existing navigation laws.' Still, in the signs of the times,
your Committee perceive abundant reason for shipowners
to be prepared to defend their position—that justice which
by Sir Robert Peel was promised to the agriculturists on the
repeal of the corn-laws, and by Lord John Russell to the
colonists on the alteration of the sugar duties—namely, that
freedom of production shall at least go 'hand in hand with
freedom of competition. In the maintenance of this demand
they feel that they may with confidence appeal to shipowners
throughout the country, whatever differences of opinion they
may entertain on the controverted questions of free trade and
protection. The struggle on these questions has unfortunately
produced many and most injurious schisms. But your
Committee can perceive no reason why the shipping interest
should not now re-unite on the common ground of defence
of a general interest on principles common to all. 'They ask,
therefore, the renewal of co operation on the part of those
who, during recent contests, have dissented from the course
they have considered it their duty to pursue, inviting theta
to join the society in the endeavour to free maritime commerce
from injurious and vexation restraints--to relieve it from wine'
cessary and burdensome charges—and thus to enable it the better
to sustain the competition to which it is already exposed.;
while by confiding to the Legislature the decision of prince..
plea of policy, but inflexibly maintaining that of protection
front the State, proportioned to disqualification imposed bg
the State, they will violate no equity, advance no selfis.e
claim, and leave in unrestrained exercise the differing opt'
nions of those who are engaged in one common and most let'
portant branch of British national commerce."
There are at present exhibiting some very splendid speci-
mens of Gobelin tapestry, manufactured, as the announce-
ment of the selling brokers states, expressly fee the
late Duke of Orleans, and considered to be a magnificent
sample of this famed branch of foreign industry. The sale
to-morrow, by Wilkinson and Jewesbury, at the Hall of
Commerce, will also include many other articles of French
manufacture, which the enterprising importers are auxteLl
to have introduced to general consumption.
The Funds are fluctuating, and scarcely realise the pre'
vious quotations, Consols being 951‘2 34 for present transf,ert
and 953/4 for Account. Exchequer-bills are quoted 4s. to
premium. Bank Stock is marked 208% to 209%. Tll.
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97% to 97/9'
Money is still rather scarce, but Exchupier-bills are de'
pressed, chiefly by the sales on railway deposit account. ;
The Foreign Stock Market is rather flatter than yester'
day. Spanish Five per Cents. realise 25%, and the Three
per Cents. 361/4. Mexican have dropped to 23%. Bra?..„'
Bonds are 80/,, for the Small; Dutch Two-and-a-Half P`
Cents. have been quoted 59% to 59%.
Shares are still "in the shade." Tne better class of Sett
and Stock would undoubtedly rally, but for the apptvbe`
sion respecting " calls." Many parties 'think that these

will, after all, not exceed the annual surplus income of t"e
country.
