COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CiocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
flrsaly at fully previous prices for all kinds and
at an advance of 1-161. per lb. ; on American be-
tvveen s;d. and 6id. per lb. The sales were
12,000 bales, 1,000 for export, and 4,000 on specu-
lation, comprising 300 Egyptian, 60. to Bd. ;
2,500 Surats, 4id. to 41d. ; and 60 Sea Islands,
11d, to 91. per lb. The Railway Share Market
Was without any feature, but a better tone pre-
vailed.

The quarterly statement of the particulars of
vessels trading within the limits of the East India
Company's charter has been published by the East
India and China Association. From this it ap-
pears that, from the Ist January to the 31st March,
there was an increase of 5,452 tons entered in-
wards, as compared with the corresponding period
Of last year. The clearances outwards this year
showed a decrease of 8,285 toles.
The instalments of 15 per cent. on the New
Loan, and 20 per cent. on the finding of Exche-
quer Bills are due to-day, but as they have in
Most cases already been provided for, the demand
for accommodation in Lombard-street is not exces-
sive. As there is also the settling-day in the English
8 tock market, however, full employment is found for
Capital, and full rates are current. On the 24th
inst. the Loan will be fully paid up, and some
anxiety is felt to ascertain what course the Govern-
Mont intends taking for the obtainment of further
Pecuniary assistance. _ _

At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. W. 0.
Young, held to-day, a statement of the probable
assets and liabilities was read. This gave liabilities
to the amount of 65,7501., and assets of 25,2491.
A long conversation took place with regard to a
partnership which was supposed to subsist between
the above gentleman and Mr. Beckwith, of New-
castle ; and it was finally agreed that the meeting
should be adjourned until an investigation had
taken place in this matter. Mr. Pitcairn and Mr.
Stevens consented to act as inspectors.

the quotations have advanced per cent. Consols
for money are 931 to 931, and for the Bth prox.,
