MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Cl7'Y, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverool yesterday were 5,000
bales, all to the trade, viz., 400 l'ernams at gid. to 6Vid.,
300 Egyptians at 5%d. to 8%d., SOO Surat at 2%d. to 314 d.,
arid 4,000 American at 3%d. to od. The market is steady.
The Share Market improved, and prices are rather higher.
Merchants, bankers, and others have all been more or less en-
gaged in the consideration of the debates in the lower
branch of the Legislature yesterday afternoon. The proceed-
ings as far as they have gone appear to have given much
satisfaction.
There is not any news of importance from the colonies
this morning. The private' letters from the West Indies
have been delivered, but .contain matters more of a private
character than of general interest.
The Funds have been flat this morning, owing to several
important sales. Consols havejuat receded from 97% to 974
for Account, and from 97% to 951/4 far immediate transfer.
The new Three-and-a Quarter per Cents have gone back
from 100 to 99%:%, and Exchequer-bills from 425. to 395.
premium. In most of the Foreign Funds there was not
much doing. Brazil Five-and-a-Quarter Cents have just,
been sold at 83%. Mexicans at a fall to 3078 ; the Portu-
guese Four per Cents. from 60 to 5A,4 ; the Spanish Five per
Cents. to 28 ; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
at 60%.
Railway Shares have commanded to-day a fair share of
attention. The accurate list of prices is annexed.

tact this forenoon off the Magazines, and both come to an anchor,

INTREPIDITY of the FRENCH PILOT and LIFE BOATMEN—
RESCUE of an ENGLISH CREW.
The agent at Lloyd's, at Boulogne, in reporting the British sloop
Josephine having gone on shore near that port, mentions an act of
persevering intrepidity on the part of the French crew of the life and
pilot boat there, which is deserving of notice.
" The life-boat and a pilot-beat haye made three attempts to reach
her, in order to save the crew, who are still on board, but the sea
rushed over her decks with such violence that they could not stay
near her. Other attempts will be made again, and no exertion
spared to save the unfortunate beings who are on board, if possible."
N IGHT SIGNALS AT SEA.
The several notices which have appeared in the daily morning and
evening papers of late, respecting the importance and necessity of a
universal code of night signals at sea and on the coast, being esta-
blished, appears to have attracted amougst;le mertcantile marine in-
terest the attention which the subject deserves. It remains for Go-
vernment to sanction some simple code, in order to lessen the con-
stantly occurring loss of life and property by the want of established
and understood signals.
Mr. Henry C. Chapman, shipowner, of Liverpool, in addressing
Lloyd's upon the subject, mentions that he, with the view to the in-
troduction of some simple code, adopted one for the use of COM-
manders of the ships in his employ, which the captains all highly
approve of, as being extremely simple, and easily understood by the
parties employed in the coasting and fishing trades. Mr. Chapman
mentions also that Sir Charles Ogle, and several naval officers, ap.
proved of his code.

A MAGISTRATE WANTED. —Of late considerable
difficulty has been experienced in finding a magistrate around Bea-
consfield. An acting magistrate it is difficult to find in that district.
A few days since the constable of that place had two mem in custody,
whom he had to take before a justice; but, although he went to the
residences of eight, and travelled about thirty miles, he could not
find one, and was in consequence obliged to keep the men in cus-
tody two days, till the Eton petty sessions came on, and then to
take them about ten miles to that meeting.
NOTTINGHAM.— Earl Manners, with his accustomed
kindness to his poorer tenantry, at his annual receipt-day of garden-
rents, at Cotgrave, directed his steward to return half a year's rent,
in consideration of the failure of the potato crop ; and we understand
that he intends to do the same at Ratcliff and the immediate neigh-
bourhood of Holme Pierrepoint.—Nottingham Review.
THE SHIP TOM—It is a curious fact with respect
to this ♦essel, which has excited so mach notice and interest in the
public mind, that the crest or arms of the owner are the arm and
shoulder of a man holding in his hand a bloody spear or javelin, with
which he is apparently about to strike an abject, and that this was
actually painted on the stern of the vessel. It was very generally
noticed while she was lying in the Dock-basin, and the circumstance
is worthy of remark, simply because its appearance was significant,
in consequence of the very frightful scenes of slaughter and blood-
shed enacted on board while on the open sea. The vessel is now on
the ocean again, bound for the United States, as we intimated a few
days ago, for a cargo of cotton.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

(THIS DAY.)

Sub-Committee No. 1.
This Committee met to•-day at twelve o'clock ; Mr. Strutt
in the chair.
THE LONDON, NEWBURY, AND BATH
EAILWAY.
The Committee proceeded with this adjourned case.
Mr. B URKE submitted several allegations similar to those
which were decided against him yesterday, but the Com-
mittee having expressed their disapprobation of re-opening
arguments which would avail him nothing, the other allege•
tions were then withdrawn, and
The Committee decided that the standing orders had been
complied with, with the exception of the case of Mrs. Susannah
Shaw.

THE DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH.
The Committee then called on this case.
Mr. PARKES appeared for the promoters.
Mr. DAVID J. COLES appeared to make an objection to the
proceeding with the Bill. He was himself a petitioner
against the project, but was prevented from presenting
several Petitions against it through the neglect of the pro-
moters. They had given notice on the 2d of February that
the Sub-Committee would sit on the 4th, so that the peti-
tions, which otherwise would have been presented against
the Bill, were abandoned in consequence of not having had
sufficient notice to have them presented. They should, in
accordance with the standing orders, have given the public
three clear days' notice of the sitting of the Sub-Committee,
and this was not done. He therefore submitted that they
could not proceed.

The CHAIRMAN said that the postponement of the sitting
of the Committee from the 2d to that day was not unfavour-
able to the public, inasmuch as there was more time give*
to get up any petitions which they might wish to present.
The delay was sot occasioned by the promoters, but by the
House of Commons. As to not having given three clear
days' notice in time first instance, that non• compliance with
the standing orders was got over by the subsequent post-
ponement of the inquiry. The objection was, therefore,
overruled. . .

Mr. PARKES then called witnesses to prove the depositing
of the plans and sections, and the books of reference. After
which

Mr. BURK& said he had to object to the promoters' con-
tract deal
