A new change of Ministry took place on the 17th,
at Brunswick. The Minister, Count of VELUEIM,

REVOLUTION IN CRACOW.
Under the date of Cracow, March 17, the Silesia
Gazette says,—" Our political prisoners are free.
About 9 this morning about 100,000 Polish citizens
assembled after learning the news from Vienna
They were joined by many of the native population,
and repaired to the residence of Count DETM, de-
manding the liberation of the prisoners. Count
DISTIL begged for delay till he should get special
orders from Vienna. This would not do, and the
Count was obliged to drive with Marshal CASTIGLION
to the prison, and effect their desires. The people
also asked the removal of the customs line and
guard, the arming of the people, and of the burgher

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. I
CITY, QUARTER TO TIT NEL.—
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was a
shade better, the sales being 24,780 halos for the week.
The decline for the week is abuut *d . per lb.
Railway Shares were a shade better, but business was
no

active.
The Bank of England has, during the week to the
18th instant, bad a material increase in its aisets, without
much demand upon them, accompanied, inleed, with a
positive decrease in the amount of securities under dis
count. The deposits of private merchants and others
are accumulating, and doubtless the receipt of money
from abroad will tend further to swell this item. The
reserve of unemployed notes is the largest ever held by
the. Bank, and, with the precious metals, amount to
26,090,411/. The following are the items upon a com-
parison with the previous week's return

There is a report current that a Republic has been
declared in Berlin. It is not believed on the Stock
Exchange, as there are later direct accounts from the
capital than those now bringing the alleged informa-
tion. The report comes from Paris.
At present there have not been any tidings received
of the arrival of the West India Mail. It is fully due.'
It would appear that the demand for the
precious metals for shipment this week has
been rather considerable. To Rotterdam, Belgium,
and Harlingen about 16,000 ounces of gold coin
have been remitted. To Belgium, bullion bars and
coin in silver, 107,000 ounces, have been sent off.'
The statement made public this morning of the affairs
of the Bank of France is considered here as most un-

satisfactory.
A sudden reaction took place in the Consol Market
this morning, from 83- to 83, but since a slight rally to
881 has taken place. The reported formation of a
Republic in Berlin did not help the market, but quite
the contrary. Consols for money receded from
83k to 831. Exchequer-bills have been at 31s.
to 325. premium. India Bonds are 17s. to 13a. premium.
There was a full average amount of business trans-
acted in the Foreign Funds to-day. The Brazilian Five
per Cent. Bonds have been at 701, the Small at 72 ;
the Mexican at 14k i; the Portuguese Four per Cents. at
154- ; the Spanish Five per Cents., at 121; the Three
per Cents. at 224 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
at 411, while the Four per Cent. Certificates have fallen
from 62 to 811.
The London and North-Western Railway Shares have
advanced about 3/. each. Nearly all the other shares
are steady, and held firmer, though with but a sma"
amount of business doing.
