The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,001
bags. The market was decidedly firmer; exporters took
1,000 bales American. A good business was done in Shares,
and at some improvement in prices.
For some time past a proposition has been before the Pro-
prietary of the South Sea Company to establish a Trust Fund,
and as the charter for this important object has been ob-
tained, it may be worth while to notice briefly the objects
intended to be carried out. We may mention, however,
ad interim, that more fall and explicit information
will be conveyed to the public through our ad-
vertising columns. The Trust Company will have an
immense capital, as many of the largest proprietors of South
Sea Stock have assented to merge their capital into it.
The guarantee, therefore, for safety and security, is full and
complete. The difficulties which are frequently felt in ob-
taiaing the assent of individuals to act as trustees to
minors and others in the various avocations of life,
in executorships and other matters, where trustees are
required—rarely undertaken but with diffidence and
anxiety—will, by the administration of this associa-
tion, be entirely removed. If we are informed cor-
rectly, it is intended that the British Colonies, as well as
England, Ireland, and Scotland, shall be embraced within
the scope of the operations of the Trust Company. Headed
as it is by influential men of experience (Mr. Charles Franks,
the Sub-Governor of the South Sea Company being its Pre-
sident), the best guarantee is afforded that trusts confided to
its care will be worked with fidelity and economy. Another
most important feature in the scheme is, that frauds and
spoliations of property, so frequently complained of under
' the present system on the part of trustees, will be wholly
and entirely obviated.
Letters and papers to the 11th of November have come to
hand from Sydney. Generally the reports are favourable
with respect to trade and agriculture, but there was not much
activity in trade.
Consols have realised 96% to 1/ for present transfer, and
96% 3/4 for Account to•day, the state of the market being de-
cidedly buoyant on account of the glorious victory obtained
in India. Exchequer-bills have realised 28s. to 315., and
