MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were estimated at
5,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were taken for
export. The market was firm. The sales include 4,250
American, 150 Pernam and Maranham, at 54d. to 6id.,
and 500 Surat, at 3kd. to 41d. per lb.---The Snare
Market improved again, and prices were looking up.
The Produce Market shows an improved feeling this
morning, and as consumption steadily increases, the
heavy stocks which now embarrass the holders will be
gradually worked off. It is not believed that any very
large quantities of Sugar, Coffee, or other produce, are
afloat, and on the way to arrive. Advices must have
gone oat some time since to the more distant producing
countries to atop all further shipments as much as
possible.
The Atlantic steamer from the United States, whose
arrival has been telegraphed from Liverpool this morn-
ing (but of course neither letters nor papers have yet
been received), is understood to bring about 700,000
dollars. Business throughout the States continued to
improve, but the money market remained without
alteration. Stocks were higher and the exportation
of specie has not diminished. The market for
breadstuffs was inactive, without change however
in the quotations, and holders were firmer. In cotton a fair
amount of business was doing at former quotations. In
provisions, pork steady, with a fair demand; mess was
selling at 15f, prime at 13k. Freights unchanged, and
business limited. Exchange on London, with moderate
sales, 1101 to j. Politically the Atlantic brings intelli-
gence that some of the persons concerned in the expe-
dition of Lopes had been pardoned by the Captain-Ge-
neral of Cuba. Ono had arrived in the United States,
and the remainder of those released were daily expected.
An attempt to arrest a fugitive slave in Lancaster,
county Pensylvania, has resulted in the owner being shot,
and a subordinate officer mortally wounded.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Avon, is reported,
from Southampton. Her specie freight consists of
1,487,472 dolls., or say about 300,0001. sterling, from the
South Pacific ports, California, Panama, and the West
Indies. Of this amount 860,000 dolls. are in silver, and
627,400 dolls. in gold. The accounts represent the
crops in general to have exceeded those of last year.
Yesterday the Foreign Exchanges exhibited a remark.
able improvement in all planes, which leads to the con-
clusion that before the end of the year we shall be in
constant receipt of large remittances of bullion and specie
from Paris, Holland, and the German ports.
The principles of free trade are evidently gaining
ground on the Continent, and even in France, which
has been their most determined opponent. We learn
from the Hague this morning, that the Government has
officially notified to the merchants that in future Dutch
vessels will be received into the French ports on the
same footing of duties as paid by the merchant vessels
of France; and reciprocally French vessels in Dutch
ports.
The meeting of Messrs. Coatelli and Co.'s creditors
takes place to-day, at the office of Messrs. Olivereon
Lavie, in Old Jewry, when the balance-sheet prepared
by Mr. Coleman, the accountant to the Bank of Eng-
land, will be presented. Report speaks unfavourably of
the statement, as showing a great deficiency of assets.
The extraordinary rise of yesterday in Consols has
been fairly maintained this morning, but business has
been less active as the speculators fur the fall who had
operated so extensively on Monday, and were caught so
unexpectedly by the rise, bought in the principal
amount of their Bear operations yesterday to the ex-
tent, as it is said, of a million of stock. Consols have
been bought as high as 96i for Account, and 96} for
Money; but prices have since slightly receded. and we
now quote them 96k for Money, and 96113 for Account,
with rather a quiet market. Exchequer-bills have beca
marked 435. to 464. premium.
The Foreign Market has been dull, and with little
demand. Mexican are marked 26i to 26}. ; Danish
Three per Cents. 78. to 79 ; the Five per Cents. 1011
to 101; ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents 101} to
1011 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 94} to 9-Q.
Exchange at 25f.

The Railway Market may be reported as altogether
favourable. There is a steady and firm demand at the
impro►ed quotations, which were obtained yesterday,
but without any further advance.

REQUISITION FOR FURTHER SEARCH ron FRANK.
r.m.—A requisition, promoted by Lady Franklin, calling
upon the Admiralty to give Captain Penny the means of
proceeding this year to pursue the traces of Franklin up
Wellington Channel, was numerously signed yesterday.
Captain Penny's second ship, the Sophia, has arrived at
Woolwich, and will be paid off at that port.

The body of the aeronaut Tardini, who made an
ascent on Sunday the 14th, from Copenhagen, was found
near Kaliebodstrand.

SUICIDE IN BATTERSEA-FIELDS.--On Monday
afternoon, between the hours of two and three o'clock, a
person who was crossing Battersea-fields, observing the
body of a man lying, as if asleep, he called to the recumbent
person, and warned him that his hat would be stolen, but,
not receiving any answer, he approached, and, upon turning
over the body, found it quite inanimate, and near it a pool
of blood. The unhappy man had laid the muzzle of a
pistol, which was fbund near him, to his heart, and shot him-
self. Death must have been instantaneous. Upon his per-
son were found half a crown and some coppers, and a letter
without a signature or direction. Deceased is apparently
between 20 and 30 years of.age.
AECLIDEACONRY OF TAUNTON.—We have great
pleasure in stating that the Bishop of Bath and Wells has
appointed the Rev. G. A. Denison, his Lordship's examining
chaplain, Vicar of East Brent, to the Archdeaconry of Taun-
ton, vacant by the decease of the Venerable Archdeacon
Hamilton.— Chronicle.

SUNDAY IN LANCASHIRE.—The Preston Chronicle
states that " the Botanical Society of Wigan held an exhi-
bition of flowers on Sunday last ;" and iu another column
that "on Tuesday last two boys were fined 2s. each fur
bathing in the river on the preceding Sunday."

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—Picking has progressed in
the past week, where there were any hops, and of these many
were left behind as unripe. The crop falls considerably short
of expectation. There is one thing to cheer the farmer—
that good samples will obtain high prices, which we trust,
will serve as inducement to bestow some attention on the
picking. General accounts state the crop to fall short, but
as being mostly good in quality where free from disease. In
the hop districts the hop duty is laid at only 100,0001.; in
the Borough and elsewhere, at 115,0007.—Canterbury
Journal.

BRISTOL CHURCH UNION.—We have authority for
stating that, at a committee of the Bristol Church Union,
specially summoned on Monday last, it was unanimously
resolved that a sub-committee he appointed to draw up a do-
cument, to be submitted to the next general meeting, with
the view of repudiating the statement of the Archbishop of
Canterbury, respecting the opinion of the clergy on the
matter of episcopal ordination."—Chronicle.

COBBLING SURGERY.—A cobbler has just located
himself at Spalding. and attracts attention with the follow-
ing address outside his shop :—" Surgery performed upon old
boots and shoes. by adding of feet, meking good the legs,
binding the broken, healing the wounded, altering the con-
stitution, and supporting the body with new soles. Ist o cue,
