MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS;
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,OCC
bales, at very steady rates. Exporters took 600 bales Ame-
rican. 300 bales Surat, went at 2 ; 150 of Portiere, at
6%d. to 6%d.; 100 Egyptian, at 63/0. to 74d.; and Ame..
rican at 334 d. to 6d. per lb. There was an improvement in
Shares, and an increase in the number of the transactions.
The Money-market is rather unsettled by the hostile tone
of the American accounts received to-day, as even commer •
cial interests does not seem to keep the Executive of tl.e
United States within reasonable bounds as respects its pre-
' tensions. How much more Brother Jonathan would lose by
a war than we should, a few facts will abundantly show.
Last year the aggregate value of the imports into the United
States from Great Britain was 10,000,000 dollars, and there was
a large falling off in the importation of cotton manufactures
except calicoes. Now the Yankees supply us with more
products than ever, and manifestly will be the most severe
sufferers by a war. An American paper bears us out in this
view, for it states that "the importation of cotton manufac-
tures into this country from Great Britain is now principally
composed of the finer qualities of goods, and such as we have
hardly commenced the manufacture of within our own limits.
We are rapidly progressing in the manufacture of calicoes,
printed and dyed ; but it will be some time before we shall
be able to supply the domestic demand, and must therefore be
extensive importers for some time to come. So far as the
manufactures of this description of goods have progressed,
they are equal to any imported, and successfully compete
with the foreign article whenever they come in con-
tact. The official table gives us an idea of the
extent of the markets of this country for the
manufactures of Great Britain, and shows that however great
may be the position we occupy in producing the raw material,
the position we occupy as consumers of the fabrics of England
is of very limited value, and exerts very little influence upon
the aggregate consumption."
The English Securities have been rather seriously depressed
this morning, as might be expected, from the tenor of the
American advises. Consols have receded to 96 and N% for
present transfer, and to 9614 and 95% for time. The pre-
mium on Exchequer-bills has been steady at 345. to 365.
Bank Stock has been tolerably firm, at 209 to 209%. East
:n,lia Stock has been 263 to 261. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 98 to %.
The Foreign Bonds have been flat also. Spanish Five per
Cents. at 26% 34, and the Three per Cents. 3714 to %.
Illexican Stock is worth 30%, and Brazilian 82%. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 59% %, and Belgian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents, 97.
Shares have been rather flat. but sales are not pressed.

up to him and demanded his money ; making use, at the same time;
of very violent language. Upon the Provost refusing to give him
any, the man deliberately walked up to some wooden palings, and
tore away one of the rails. The 'Rev. Mr. Hodson, however, in the
mean time, was fortunately enabled to get back to the college before
he was overtaken. The soldier then attacked two of the students:
making a similar demand for money • seizing hold of one, and
vio'ently assaulting him. Upon these effecting their escape from his
grasp, he throw at them the large wooden rail, which luckily missed
them. Information of the man's outrageous conduct having been
given to Mr. Perkins, ti.te superintendent of the Eton police. an at-
tempt was made to take him into custody, but such was the retist-
