The principal vessels of this company were offered °,.
sale yesterday, by Bailey and Ridley, in the CaptainiA,
room, at Lloyd's ; but although there was a full attten;f
ance of merchants and others interested in this close
property, the whole were allowed to pass without
sinule bidding. It was announced at the conclusi° f
that the directors are still open to treat for the sale
the ten vessels, either collectively or separately, by Pr

VIQN E Y MARKET

alii;

CITY, Two o'Or.ect:
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, without any material change in prices.
4-he sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 2,000 of
which were taken by the exporters.
Letters from Paris, relative to the Greek Loan,
of which the powers interested are demanding re-
imbursement, mention that, of 60,000,000 f. advanc-
ed, Greece touched very little of it. The loan was ab-
sorbed by the expenses of the auxiliary Bavarian
corps, at the installation of the Bavarian Regency,
and by the indemnity accorded to Turkey for the
cession of the province of Phtiolide. Of the 60
Millions, Greece only received 8 millions for her
uvirn benefit. Thf., activity of the Greek people,
since 1833, is sh own by the fact that the revenue
of the state, which for years continued at 7 mil-
lion francs, has risen to 16 millions in 1856.
The advices recently received from Russia dwell
at some length upon the proposed network of rail
„Ways, the concession for which is stated to have
been granted to a French company. The precise
terms have not yet transpired, but according to
rumour they are fortunately not likely to be of a
character that will attract subscribers in any of the
European money markets. We say fortunately,
because the extent of foreign enterprise which has
already been undertaken has greatly contributed
to the extraordinary pressure for money which now
generally prevails. It is expected that the capital
required is about forty millions sterling, on which
it is imagined the Russian Government will offer
4i or 5 per cent. per annum guaranteed interest.
Although there is no immediate chance of the pro-
ject floating at a premium, it is feared that when-
ever the money market becomes easier, and a
favourable opportunity presents itself, parties will
be tempted to support it, Such a contingency
Would be very discouraging, and tend to prolong
the inconvenience which is at present experienced.
It was only a few days ago that the great Credit
Mobilier Company, notwithstanding the heavy
liability which it had already incurred, undertook
the construction of the Spanish Railway ; and it is
1111101 to be feared, unless some check is soon inter- I
Need, that the financial distress of France will in-
erease to a very serious extent. Louis Napoleon,
almost immediately after the conclusion of peace,
Ptohibited the formation of new joint-stock coq
tames during the present year ; and it is evident
to relieve
further interference will be necessary in order
relieve the Paris money market.
