MONEY and COMMERCIAL N 1 WS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales 5,000 bales, making 31,980 for the week. The
stock is 280,120 hales against 449,800 bales at this time
last year. Railway shares had been flat again.
There has been an important increase again in the
assets of the Bank of England, while the only indication
of better employment for capital is to be observed in the
diminution of the private deposits. The Bank Directors
have been unable, even with the stimulus of a reduced
rate of discount, to get more notes into circulation, and
there is an accumulation consequently both of unem-
ployed notes and bullion. The following is the result
of a comparison between the week ending the sth ihst.
and the previous week:—
Notes issued

Rest

Public Deposits

Other Deposits

The Foreign Exchanges were lower yesterday after-
noon upon the principal continental cities.
There are no foreign arrivals to-day with intelligence
of interest.
The course adopted yesterday afternoon at the meet-
ing of Peruvian Bondholders appears to meet general
approval, and the resolutions are considered not in the
least too " strong " for the occasion. The proceeds of
the Guano contract, to the fullest extent, ought in
fairness to be made over to the bondholders.
There has been a steady market to-day for the Public
Securities, and at an advance in the quotations, although
the transactions hare not been extensive. Consols have
realised 895 to for present Transfer, and 895 to for
Account. The Paris news of yesterday has rather
damped the market. Exchequer-bills of March have
been 18s. to 223. premium, and those of June, 265. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted
90i to 905.
In the Foreign Funds there is scarcely any business
doing. Spanish Three per Cents. are 321, and Mexican
18. g. Equador Stock is at 31. Danish Bonds have
been 84, and Dutch Four per Cents. 851 4.
Railway Shares have been rather drooping again, and
there is not much doing.

which might have been attended with a serious loss of
lives. While a number of men were in the act of hoist-
ing a large cast-iron beam, of about thirteen tons
weight, by means of a crane erected on the top of the
masonry work, the arm of the crane gave way when the
beam was near the top, and both fell to the bottom,
breaking two other iron beams whicPa lay there, and
otherwise damaging various materials. The men for-
tunately escaped unhurt.—Liverpool Mercury.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Fm3.ll.—The schooner yachtG ipsey Queen was towed
out of Cowes harbour on the 10th inst. by the Tug
steamer belonging to the Southampton Dock, having
on her deck a number of Custom-house officers and
the Cowes Custom-house boat at her stern. The
yacht belonged to the Royal Thames Yacht Club,
and was the property of the Duke de Stackpool,
against whom an information was laid sometime since
by a discharged servant, of having landed and taken
to his mansion a quantity of contraband spirits. It is
said that the Duke himself had no knowledge of the
transaction, but it would appear that he is likely to
pay very dearly for the parts that others took with
his property. The yacht, which is 160 tons, cannot
have cost him less than 6,0001., and the bond for her
is probably about 3,0001., with the extras, the amount
will be little under 10,0001.

Tint WEATHER.—We have been visited with more
rain than we commonly get, particularly with the
barometer so high. On the sth we had rain, and a
strong wind from the southward, barometer at 30.00.
6th, Rain, wind S.S.W., barometer 2998. 7th,
Rain, and the glass at 29.84. On the Bth, at night,
it fell to 29.42, blowing and rainy all night. The
mercury on the 9th at 2888. On the 10th, at four
o'clock, it fell to 28.57; the wind shifted to the north,
and the rain fell faster than ever. This morning (the
11th), the barometer was at 28.55 ; it is now (sir
p.m.), at 2905, having risen half an inch in six hours.

ENTIIRONIZATION OF THE BISHOP OF MANCHES•
TEL—The ceremony of enthroning the Bishop of Man•
chester took place yesterday morning in the choir of the
Cathedral Church. The Bishop was met at the main
entrance by the Very Reverend the Dean (Dr. Bowers)
and Canons Wray, Clifton, Sergeant, and Parkinson,
who were attired in their canonicals. His Lordship was
conducted to a seat placed immediately in front of the
communion- table, when the ordinary service on such
occasions was read; after which the usual interrogatories
were put to the Bishop by the Dean. The Bishop
answered each question in the affirmative, and then
took the customary oaths. The Dean then taking hint
by the right hand, led him from the chair to the
throne, and in brief terms expressed the congratula•
tion of the Chapter on his elevation to the Episcopal
See. The Dean and Canons then proceeded to the
communion, and read the Litany. The Dean after•
wards offered up a prayer on behalf of theßishop, and
implored the Divine blessing upon him. The Bishop
then pronounced the benediction, and the ceremony
was concluded.

The Moniteur Grec of the 21st ult. gives notice of
the intention of the Greek Government to conclude •
loan of 120,0001., at five per cent.
The Earl of Liverpool arrived at Fife Muse on
Thursday, from Buxted Park, Sussex.

HEALTH OF THE Bisnor OF LONDON.—We un-
derstand that the Lord Bishop of London is in a weak
