MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Tho Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales 5,000 bales, making 31,980 for the week. The
stock is 280,120 bales against 449,800 bales at this time
last year. Railway shares had been flat again.
There has been an important increase again in the
assets of the Bank of ➢ngland, while the only indication
of better employment for capital is to be observed in the
diminution of the private deposits. The Bank Directors
have been unable, even with the stimulus of a reduced
rate of discount, to get more notes into circulation, and
there is an accumulation consequently both of unem-
ployed notes and bullion. The following is the result
of a comparison between the week ending the sth fast.

The Foreign Exchanges were lower yesterday after-
noon upon the principal continental cities.
There are no foreign arrivals to-day with intelligence
of interest.
The course adopted yesterday afternoon at the meet-
ing of Peruvian Bondholders appears to meet general
approval, and the resolutions are considered not in the
least too " strong" for the occasion. The proceeds of
the Guano contract, to the fullest extent, ought in
fairness to be made over to the bondholders.
There has been a steady market to-day for the Public
Securities, and at an advance in the quotations, although
the transactions have not been extensive. Consols have
realised 89} to for present Transfer, and 89i to j for
Account. The Paris news of yesterday has rather
damped the market. Exchequer-bills of March have
been 185. to 225. premium, and those of June, 265. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted
901 to 90-1.
In the Foreign Funds there is scarcely any business
doing. Spanish Three per Cents. are 32f, and Mexican
181. Equador Stock is at 3}. Danish Bonds have
been 84, end Dutch Four per Cents. 85k 1.
Railway Shares have been rather drooping again, and
there is not much doing.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRRSPONDIINT.)
FEB.ll.—The schooner yachtGipsey Queen was towed
out of Cowes harbour on the 10th inst. by the Tug
steamer belonging to the Southampton Dock, having
on her deck a number of Custom-house officers and
the Cowes Custom-house boat at her stern. The
yacht belonged to the Royal Thames Yacht Club,
and was the property of the Duke de Stackpool,
against whom an information was laid sometime since
by a discharged servant, of having landed and taken
to his mansion a quantity of contraband spirits. It is
said that the Duke himself had no knowledge of the
transaction, but it would appear that he is likely to
pay very dearly for the parts that others took with
his property. The yacht, which is 160 tons, cannot
have cost him less than 6,0001., and the bond for her
is probably about 3,0001., with the extras, the amount
will be little under 10,0001.
THE WEATHER.—We have been visited with more
rain than we commonly get, particularly with the
barometer so high. On the sth we had rain, and a
strong wind from the southward, barometer at 30-00.
6th, Rain, wind S.S.W., barometer 29.98. 7th,
Rain, and the glass at 29.84. On the Bth, at night,
it fell to 29.42, blowing and rainy all night. The
mercury on the 9th at 28.88. On the 10th, at four
o'clock,-it fell to 28.57 ; the wind shifted to the north,
and the rain fell faster than ever. This morning (the
11th), the barometer was at 28.55; it is now (six
r.m.), at 29.05, having risen half an inch in six hours.

entrance by the Very Reverend the Dean (Dr. Bowers)
and Canons Wray, Clifton, Sergeant, and Parkinson,
who were attired in their canonicals. His Lordship was
conducted to a seat placed immediately in front of the
communion table, when the ordinary service on such
occasions was read; after which the usual interrogatories
were put to the Bishop by the Dean. The Bishop
answered each question in the affirmative, and then
took the customary oaths. The Dean then taking him
by the right hand, led him from the chair to the
throne, and in brief terms expressed the congratula-
tion of the Chapter on his elevation to the Episcopal
See. The Dean and Canons then proceeded to the
communion, and read the Litany. The Dean after-
wards offered up a prayer on behalf of theßishop, and
implored the Divine blessing upon him. The Bishop
then pronounced the benediction, and the ceremony
was concluded.

JOWETT'S HYDRAULIC TELEGRAPH.
Hundreds of visitors, including various scientific men of dis-
tinguished celebrity, have, during the last week, inspected the MO-
' DEL and PLANS of the above astonishing and interesting produc-
tion, whilst, with trifling exceptions, but one opinion has predoini-
i meted in respect to its successful operations and powerful results; es-
Incially the simplicity of its construction, the very considerable re-
duction in outlay compared with the electric, and, as the Morning
Yost (in its critical remarks) observes, "no one can examine the
, model without being struck with the principle it so beautifully tins-
trates." A Committee of Management is now in formation to fully
carry out the important objects of the Patentee, aid a report of scien-
tific opinions upon the merits of the Hydraulic Telegraph, together
with the notices of the daily and weekly journals, will shortly be
°races, 17, Wellington-street, strand, adjoining the Morning Post
and Court Journal.

A FEW THOUGHTS AT WESTMINSTER-HILL.
The Judges assembled at Westminster-hall.
On a matter important to great and to small ;
The scene was exciting. the Court was a cramm'd
- And all seemed absorbed in the subject of Hampden.
Each opened his ears, while he opened his vision.
All anxious to come at the Judges' decision.
'Twas pleasing to see, in a place so immense,
The " gents of the long robe" with interest intense ;
While the Judges appeared in their w,gs and their ermine,
The Bishop of Hereford's case to determine.
My opinion concerning title matter—but st p ;
'Tie a party affair, and the subject must drop.
For a topic like this—a political one
Is kept in the back-ground by MOSES and SON.
Yet MOSE and SON your attention would call
To a few scatter'd musings in Westminster-hall.
There were certainly many things there to adnil: e,
-While thousands assembled with faultless attire.
I could trace, while I stood in the old justice-room,
The presence of

In beauty could Tie with the long legal gown.
While I gazed on the ermine the Judges had on,
thought of the Furs of E. MOSES and SON.
The Boots and the Shoes, and the Prime Paris Hats,
The Gloves tied the Kerchiefs, V:e Stocks and Cravats,
Plainly proved that the concourse in Westminster-hall,
sad given another great building a call.
May they do so again—may the Mart be a " cramm'd 'ttn,"
And tima concludes MOSES, with Reim Dickson tlampded.
