MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 7'O THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500
bales. There were 1,000 bales taken for export. The
market was heavy. In prices very little alteration oc-
curred. A good business was done in Railway Shares,
at previous rates, but stock was scarcer.
In the political accounts both from France and Ger-
many there is a comparative lull to-day; but the mer-
cantile letters received from Hamburgh hold out no hope
of a speedy adjustment of the Danish question.
As the; Swedes are preparing more vigorously to
s( cond the Danes, and as the Assembly at
Frankfort must come to the determination either to pro-
secute the war on a larger scale, or to abate at once some
of its pretensions, it is not improbable that we shall hear
ere long of something important. At Copenhagen the
condemnation of the captured vessels proceeded without
further delay. Some few cases of release are mentioned,
and respect bad been paid to neutral property, but
the blow is a severe one for German commerce, palliate
it as we may.
The New York liner Devonshire sailed to-day with 73
cabin and 150 steerage passengers ; she has also 350 tons
of rails, and a larger quantity of other freight than usual.
We hope, as there are doubts of our receiving many
orders for the " fall " trade, that all parties may be
agreeably disappointed, and that other vessels will take
fuller cargoes than was anticipated.
The Corn Market is rather firm to-day, except fcr
lowering
oats and barley.
The Bulwer affair is still regarded with great interest
and some misgiving in quarters connected with Spain.
There is expected to be a change of Ministry at Madrid,
and even then the arrangement of the misunderstand-
ing wit! have tcr be delicately conducted.

Thu Railway Share-market is extremely quiet, and
there will probably be very few investments until the
next dividends are paid. In the instance of the
lines prices are barely supported.
