Asa seized with a fit, and fell into the fire.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool was dull. Sales,
4,000 bales. American realised 40. to 6d. per lb. The
market was well supplied. In Railway Shares there
was no alteration. Business was very quiet.
There are private accounts from Vienna, which state
that Prince Metternich was at Breslau, and that the
Emperor Ferdinand had also left the capital. There is
an idea that an abdication will be resolved upon in
favour of the Emperor's brother.
The accounts from the Continent generally describe
confidence as being at a very low ebb. Messrs. M. G.
Serrett and Co., bankers of Valenciennes, have sus-
pended. The houses here connected with Germany are
quietly awaiting the course of events.
The complaints constantly reiterated around us of the
difficulty of winding up projected railway companies, and
even of obtaining a certified statement of the position of
the old lines, so as to set at rest the rumours and doubts
that arise ever and anon about the undue complication
of capital and revenue accounts, will, ere long cease, we
trust, owing to the assistance to be afforded by the Rail-
way Commissioners, under Lord Monteagle's Bill, which
provides that any ten or more shareholders holding
10,0001. of stock in a company, can demand a balance
sheet, officially audited. The Bill states :
" And be it enacted, that in any case in which the
Commissioners of Railroads shall so think fit, it shall
and may be lawful for them to require the share-
holders who shall have subscribed the requisition for the
appointment of an auditor, as aforesaid, to pay or deposit
with them a sum not exceeding two hundred pounds,
to abide the result of the audit provided for under this
Act ; and in case it shall appear to the said Rail-
way Commissioners that the requisition for such audit
had been, in their judgment, made frivolously or vexa-
tiously, the cost of every such audit shall be paid
out of such sum deposited, and the overplus, if
any, after defraying such costs, shall be paid
over to the said shareholders ; but in every case
the costs of such audit, not exceeding the
sum of two hundred pounds shall be paid
over to defray the expense of such audit to the Railway
Commissioners, by such company, in the same manner,
and from the same funds out of which the expenses of
the ordinary audits of the company are paid, and on
which they are chargeable ; and the certificate of the
von under their buds,
Commissioners of Railways, gi
that such costa have been so incurred, shall be suffi-
cient warrant and authority to such company for such
payment, which they are hereby required to make
within' fourteen days of receiving suck certificate ; and
in default of payment such costs may be recovered from
such company in any of her Majesty's courts of record.
"And be it enacted, that whenever any such requisition
in writing, duly subscribed as aforesaid, shall be pre-
sented to such ordinary or extraordinary general meet-
ing, the directors of such company shall be required,
within fourteen days of the receipt thereof, to transmit
a copy of the same, signed by the chairman, deputy-
chairman, or secretary, to her Majesty's Commissioners
for Railways, who shall thereupon proceed without
delay to select, nominate, and appoint, by writing, under
their hands and seals, one fit and competent person, and
one or more accountants, to examine, audit, and report
upon the Wanes sheet and accounts of such company as
aforesaid; and every such auditor and accountant so ap-
pointed shall forthwith proceed in the execution of his
duties under this Act."
The extraordinary political changes abroad, which in
other periods would have occasioned a decline in the
funds of 2 or 3 per cent., appear to have no effect upon
values, as speculators are indisposed to operate, and
there are a few purchases of stock for money. Consols
have varied from 81i to 80! for money, and from 81*
to 80i for account. -Exchequer-bills of June have been
depressed to 245. and 235. prem., sales of this security
being rather pressed.
The Foreign Securities are very quiet. Spanish
Three per Conte., 21i; and Portuguese Four per Cents.,
14*. Brazil Stock is 69. Mexican Bonds are 14*.
Dutch Two. and-a-Half per Cents. have been 41*.
In Railway Shares there is no particular change;
some lines support their value rather better.
