CITY, Two o'CLocr...

The -erpool Cotton :Market yesterday closed
quietly, a nd prices of ;A U kinds are unaltered.
The sales a mounted to G,O )0 bales, 1,000 of which
Were take: a for export an. 1 1,500 on speculation,
comprising 200 Egyptian, 61d. to 7,1 d. ; 600 Surat,
41,d. to 5!,, 1. ; and 80 Se 3. Islands, 11:Ad. to 131.
per lb. r. Cho Railway ; Markfit has been
active, at aat advance in prices on a'.l th© leading
stocks.

Advices from the pri acipal grain markets in
Belgium r( sport a rise in. the price of -wheat and
flour on I\ londay, as well as other kinds of grain,
Which was chiefly attributable to the. limited sup-
plies bro-‘ ight for sale, and 1-,he r.ttempts of the
farmers t o hold on for higher prices. At Louvain
sales wer a active, at an advapc e of If. 20c. per hec-
tolitre fo r wheat, and 45c. for rye At Liege flour
rose If.: per sack of 103 kilos. or, the closing prices
of last week, and wheat abor it, the same ; and at
Rubel w Neat was sold at 7. ie. per hectolitre ad-
vance, al( ad flour 90c. per sa. ck. The average rise is
about 03 Le franc per hectol'Are in wheat.
The Madrid journals of: the 12th inst. mention
that th ib civil governor of that city had rendered a
special service to the Bank of St. Ferdinand and
to the (commercial community, by the discovery of
an ex. censive fabrication of: forged notes upon that
establishment, amongst which was an immense
quan ,tity of paper prep; Lred for receiving the im-
prest3ion of a plate v ery well executed. After
sem ring the principal delinquents and examining
ther a, the governor laelieve% that no false note had
Yet gone into circi-Llation ; so that this discovery
has prevented any panic among the holders of
tote s like thret which caused great embarrassment
to a to bank in 1846.

TI sere is rather an improved feeling with regard
to tl le prospects of the Money Market, and an im-
press ion n•Dw prevails that the Directors will not
find it necessary to raise their terms of discount.
At -:;be same time it is admitted that there is very
little probability of a sensible diminution either in
the demeoad or in the quotations for some months
to c:ome. For commercial purposes the inquiry
Will soon increase, and a considerable sum is being
abs :irbod by the payment of calls on the account of
the ,capital of many of the recently formed joint-
etoel t companies.

TI te rates of exchange on the chief cities of the
Cont inent yesterday were generally firm, and on
Tries te and Vienna there was a small advance.
A. decline of Id per ounce has taken place in the
Price of Mexican dollars, those brought by the last
West , India packet having been sold at 61d.

TT: ie upward movement noticed yesterday in the
Pric 0 of English Securities continues, and the mar-
ket is now very buoyant. It is evident the
Bee yrs were largely oversold, and have conse-
quently been eagerly buying back, which has
eau sed a considerable re-action in the quotations.
Ore ater confidence is felt in the position of mone-
tar3 affairs as already stated, and the favourable
rep( )rts relative to the harvest are spoken of as a
team )n for increased firmness in prices. The rise
this morning is about per cent. Consols for
taon ey have been 93l 94, and 94k, while for ac-
Celli it they have been 944 and 94g A. Consols

shall not be at liberty to grant any application in any
case where the applicant, or any party entitled, has pre-
viously applied to either House of Parliament for a
private bill to effect ,a similar object, and such applica-
tion has been rejected on its merits, or reported against
by the judges to whom the bill may have been referred.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.— Last Wednesday evening
a young man a;ring a pony in the neighbourhood of
liinordy met a little boy, who solicited a ride how.
The young man placed the boy on the saddle, the horse
went off at a gallop, and the boy fell off, with his foot in
the stirrup, and was dragged nearly a mile in this pain-
ful position. When the horse was stopped, the little
sufferer was carried home, and medical aid procured,
but the boy only lingered two hours, when death termi-
nated his sufferinge.—Edinburgli. Courant,
The Correspondance Hams publishes the programme
of the Spanish bull fights which are to take place on the
21st and 22d inst. at St. Esprit, near Bayonne, in pre-
sence of the Imperial family. The celebrated Manuel

band complete. It will be composed of thee espadas,
five picadors, six banderillos, and two puntilleros. 12
fine and vigorous bulls will be combated in the two re-
presentations. The animals have been selected with the
greatest care.
MOZART FESTIVAL.—Among the notabilities at the
Mozart festival, held at Salzburg last week, was an old
silver•haired man, called Karl Mozart, eon of the im-
mortal composer, and last of the name. He was the
greatest living object of interest present. Be had gone
all the way from Milan to enjoy the fete, and, although
things were not cheap, there was not the slightest danger
of his lacking a dinner or champagne, although his father
might have wanted both. The only fear was that the
poor old fellow would be killed with kindness.
