Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the young Royal Family,
attended by the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting, left the
Nine Elms terminus of the South-Western Railway shortly

ampton, proceeding thence to Osborne House, Isle of Wight,
w here the Court will remain some days.

It is rumoured that Lord Lincoln is to be brought into the
House of Commons for the borough of Carrickfergus, the
present Conservative Member, Mr. Peter Birk, retiring for
the purpose, and that Sir John Owen is to vacate his seat for
Pembroke in Mr. Gladstone's favour.

Mr. Baillie Cochrane, who has accepted the Chiltern
Hundreds, offers himself again for Bridport.
We were glad to observe Mr. Cobden again in the House
of Commons last night, apparently restored to health.
The Honourable Member is expected to take part in the de-
bate this evening.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. QUARTER TO TRREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday continued dull, but
there was no change in prices. About 4,000 bales were sold, all to
the trade. In Shares there was not much doing.
as may be the amount of the majority that Sir Robert Peel will the City to ascertain as near
There are most anxious inquiries in
ob-
tain upon the corn question. A vast number of wagers have been
made upon the subject, not only on the Stock Exchanges, but else-
where. In the City the opinion is that the majority will be at from
95 to 108. At the west•end of the town it is stated that
the Premier will not have (more than from 80 to 85. There is little
doubt, however, entertained that, be the number the highest given,
or the lowest, that Sir Robert Peel will be enabled to carry his plan
through the House of Lords. That great point being accomplished,
the minor points of the tariff may be considered as arranged. Trade
and commerce then—and not till then—will revive, and general ac-
tivity may be fairly calculated upon.
The commercial accounts from the Brazils are considered to be of
a satisfactory character. A strong desire is expressed in most of
the business letters for a nearer approximation between Great Bri-
tain and the Brazilian empire towards free trade.
The Public Securities are very firm to•day. The purchases by the
Government brokers gave strength to the market. Consols for Money
have .improved to 96%; and to 96% for the Account. The differ-
ences upon the Account have been in the course of payment all the
morning, and are now all but completed. The premium upon Ex-
chequer-bills has rallied from 355. 376. Bank Stock has remained at
from 208% to 209%. India Bonds have given way slightly, viz.,
from 426. to 385. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
have improved from 98% to 98%, and the Reduced Three per Cents.
from 96% to 96%.
In those Foreign Stocks where business has been transacted to-
day, an improvement may be noted. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been in request at 59% ; the Spanish Three per
Cents. for the Account at 37%; Mexican at 31% ; the Portuguese
Converted at 59 ; and Russian at 112 to 112%.
In the Share Market the payment of differences has passed over
well, but prices are not firmer. The business done has not been
considerable.
