JITY, Two •s'lll,,s-
The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
closed quietly, and prices of all descriptions were 0 5
unchanged. The sales amounted to 5,000 bales.
ti
V
The Railway Share Market ruled quiet, prices
ss were fully maintained, and a moderate amount of
business was transacted.
Th 27;
e commercial advices from New 'f ork mention ;5J
that there was lather less demand for money at the 26
latest date, but the rates were fully supported. it.
First-class bills were discounted at 10 to 12 per
St.
oent., and inferior descriptions at 12 to 15 per Sst.
o
cent. The banks were still contracting
their dis-
counts, and the last weekly returns showed a
di- -SO
minution in this respect of 638,454 dollars. The lg
Specie movement is described as being more 50
favourable, the shipments having been compara-
tively limited. In the week ending the Bth inst. lo
the exports of gold and silver amounted to St.
631,287 dollars. During the same week the ex- )15t'
ports of merchandise exceeded the imports to the 25
value of 955,223 dollars. The stock market has
been excited and very buoyant, but the day before 14to
io
these advices left prices rather tended downwards.
a•
There is much less inquiry for money in Loin- 13.ut
bard-street as well as at the Bank of England, and
in consequence of the favourable symptoms which
sstt.•
are apparent the probability of an early decline in o
the minimum term of discount is now exciting
.44. t..
some attention. Even before the last Bank return tt.
Was published a feeling of increased confidence was, it.
engendered through the diminished pressure for lt:
accommodation, and the favourable character oft
the monetaryadvicesfrom Paris. When this balance
s',
was presented, however, it was at once supposed /
that the turning point in the crisis had been at- t,
Wiled, and in the expectation that a further ameli-
oration would soon take place, the inquiry for
discount accommodation is comparatively limited.
A parcel of 60,0001. in gold, by the James Baines,
was taken into the Bank of England oil Saturday,
and there seems a reasonable prospect of a further
amount being retained in this country. The
shipments of specie last week amounted to
601,5001., and the imports to 1,516,700/.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6k 7 ; Mexi-

About 300,0001. of Australian gold, by the
James Baines, will be deposited in the Bank Lof
England to-day.
There is again a buoyant market for Publio Se-
curities, a further advance of to per cent.
having taken place in the quotations. The im-
proved appearance of the money market encourages
speculation for a rise, and the public are invest-
ing to a fair extent. The fact also that some of
the gold recently received from Australia has been
sent into the Bank of England has imparted a
firmer tone to the market. Consols opened at 941

Maths,OS DEPOT BATTALION AT AIERDREN.—COIoneI
with two engineer smears, visited Aberdeen on
Thuraday, with a view to ascertain if sufficient accom-
Modation could be found there for the erection of a bar-
l'ecks with rifle practice ground, far a battalion of
2,000 troops. The provost and magistratea accom
tarried Colonel Mudie, pointing out a spot on the south
aide of the river at the base of the ea,tern brink of the
Grampian chain, where it abuts into the German Ocean,
4141 which was considered to be very favourably situate
for military practice. A military depot at this point,
'would, it ie believed, be of great ,%dvantage both to the
service and as a mewls of defence ou this part of the twit
coast of Scotland.
STRANGE DEATN.—An investigation having been in•
atituted into the sudden and mysterious death of a young
woman when in company with an elderly man at a re-
taurant on the Boulevard de Sebastopol, the following
explanation of the affair has been arrived at :—he
Cabinet in which the two pe were placed to take
their dinner being rather cold aimsmal portable calorifere
was brought in, containing burning embers and charcoal.
As long as the door was frequently opened to allow the
Waiters to enter with the dinner the quality of the air
was not sensibly deteriorated, but when afterwards the
door remained shut the carbonic gas disseminated itself
and produced th© effects already narrated. The man
has since so fir improved as to leave no doubt of his
ultimate recovery. The body of the woman has been
given up to her friends.
ATROCIOUS MURDER.—On Satnroay night, of Sunday
Morning last, while Thos. and John Maxwell, miners,

41108. Maxwell, who was found dead on the road, Was
stabbed to the heart several times with a knife, and his
body otherwise fearfully cut and mutilated, there being
" 434 than seven wounds inflicted upon him. The other
brother was also stabbed and severely wounded. The mur-
4er. 14 the more alartning from the cool and premeditated
„ smaer in which it wae committed. It is reported that
4'Leati purchased a knife for the Purpose of committing
cMurder upon one of the brothers Maxwell. 'Tie same
criminal is also said to have stated that he has not not
!atisfaction, because he had not murdered the brother he

It seems that there had been sorne dispute
