MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull
again, at lower rates, by id. to id. per lb. on Egyptian,
and id. ott American. Sales about 3,500 bales. Shares
were flatter also.

There is but little apprehension now entertained here
that the acts o' violence committed by the rabble in
various parts of the metropolis will be continued. In
the City business, which was yesterday almost entirely
put an end to by the early closing of the shops, fearing
a visit from a West-end or an East-end body of rioters,
has been resumed this morning with its wonted degree
of confidence. There are a few idlers about '
'Change, principally boys, who are constantly kept
on the move by the efforts of the police.
Some very interesting accounts have come to hand
this morning from the Cape of Good Hope. The dates
are later from Cape Town and from Graham's Town.
A most important meeting of the Kafir chiefs, and
their followers, amounting in all to about 2,000 to 2,500
men, held a conclave with Sir H. Smith, the Governor-
General of the colony, when fealty was sworn to the
.
protectors of the soil, the name of Queen Victoria.
The Governor, dressed in his uniform, entered, with his I
staff, the circle of the chiefs and natives ; and a prayer
having been given by a Wesleyan minister, in the native
language, composed, it is said, by the Governor-
General, which was heard with great attention, the
address of his Excellency was given by him in a bold
and simple style.
The chiefs and the people hailed the Lieutenant-
Governor with most enthusiastic cheers, the band of the
troops brought forward on the occasion, :playing " God
save the Queen." The whole proceeding passed off most
satisfactorily.
There has been a very heavy market for the Public
Securities this morning. Little influenced were prices by
the mobility movements of yesterday, but the Continen-
tal advicea are held to be of very serious importance.
Consols for account opened rather firmly at 814, fell to
801, rallied again to 81, but again went back to 801.
The fluctuations in Money Stock have been rather rapid
from 811 to 804, with many intermediate changes
in the figures. The Reduced Three per Cent.
Annuities dropped from 811 to 801, and then rallied to
811. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has been re-
duced from 275. to 245., and Bank Stock is at 193.
In the Foreign Funds there has been an increase of
business this morning. There has been a quotation
given as low as 95 for the Russian Five per Cents. The
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have suddenly re•
ceded from 43 to 411. The Four per Cents. are at 71
to 72. Spanish Stocks are very low indeed, namely, at
12 for the Account, and the Three per Cents. have been
sold at 23. Brazilian Five per Cents. command 79; the
Chilian 88k, and Mexican 144 4.
In the market for the Railway Shares there has been
but a trifling desire shown to purchase. The prices
are flat.
