La ONE Y MARKET

-701/11v/E.:l-teiAl., INTELLIGENOt

CITY, Two o'CLoce.
Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market on Saturday closed heavily, but prices of
all descriptions were unchanged from the current
rates of the previous day. The sales amounted to
from 6,000 to 7,000 bales. The Railway Share
Market was buoyant, and prices of all the leading
stocks again advanced.
The state of trade in the manufacturing districts
is described in the letters received this morning as
being quiet, as the high quotations still current in
the discount market continue to impede operations.
Increased confidence, however, is entertained, and
soon after the commencement of the new year it is
thought business will become more profitable.
Mean while stock taking, and the execution of
outstanding contracts, will be sufficient to produce
activity in the warehouses.
Moderate supplies of gold continue to arrive
from America, notwithstanding the unfavourable
rposition of the exchange, and from Mexico, also,
there are remittances to a fair extent. From these
two places about 420,000 has been,announced this
morning, and it is expected that about the next
Mexican packet will bring between 2,000,000 and
3,000,000 of dollars in specie.
There is a brisk inquiry for discounts this morn-
ing in all directions, owing to the preparations for
the payment of the commercial bills due on Thurs-
day next, when the Consol Account has likewise
to bo arranged. During the next two or three
days, therefore, there is likely to be increased strin-
gency. In all cases the minimum charge is fully
paid, except where the paper is of a very first.rate
character, when 61 or 6i per cent. is demanded.
The colonial wool sales, at which about 52,000
bales were offered, closed on Saturday. Through-
out the series the biddings were animated, and an
advance of lid. to 2d. was firmly established.
In the advices from Shanghai it is stated that
the extraordinary price of the Carolus dollar, 92
of them only being obtained for 100 teals of silver,
being about 354 per cent. above their intrinsic value, '4
had induced the pawnbrokers, those engaged in the
cloth trade, and, in fact, the chief portion of the
commercial community, to petition theqlntendant 1
of Souchow Singkeang to order foreign merchants
to use the Sycee silver, not dollar-, as the circula-
tive medium, and also to prohibit native dealers .;
depreciating dollars other than Carolus.

From 30,0001. to 35,0001. in gold was taken from
the Bank of England on Saturday for the Con-
tinent.
The English Funds have been rather flatter this
morning, probably owing to a desire on the part of
some of the speculators to realise their profits
rather than to " carry over" at the high
charge made for that operation. The varia-

tion in prices, however, is not very important,
and the market exhibits a considerable degree
of strength. Consols have been 941 for money,
and next Thursday, and 95 for January. The
New Threes are 93 4, and the Reduced 93 I.
Bank. Stock is flat, being 215 to 216, and India
Stock is 227. Exchequer Bills have risen to Ss.
and 6s. premium, and the Bonds 981. East India
Bonds have been 2s. discount, to 2s. premium.
The Foreign Market is dull and rather heavy.
Turkish 6 per Cents, are about 952 to 96, and the
4 per Cents. are nominally steady. In the former
business has been recorded at 951 Spanish 3
per Cents. have risen to 424 /, and the New De-
ferred to 251 24. Dutch 22 per Cents. have been
dealt in at 66. Mexican at 22k. Peruvian 42 per
Cents, at 77 to 78, and Chilian at 104.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 62 7 ; Mexi-
can, 224 8 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 76 8 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 54 6 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents.,
44 6 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto 41 per
Cents., 94 6; Spanish 3 per Cents., 42/ 31 ; ditto
New Deferred, 232 24; ditto Certificates, 5 A ;
ditto Passive, 6

The Railway Share Market has exhibited a very
steady appearance, and most of the principal lines
have fully maintained previous quotations.
Bristol and Exeter, East Anglian, South-
Western, North British, and South Wales have
advanced about ss. to 10s. An active business has
been done in Grand Trunk of Canada, at a slight
improvement, as also in Great Central of France,
and Paris and Lyons.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares rule
rather firm. Union of Australia advanced V.

GAMBIA, WESTERN COAST OF AFRICA.—The military
buildings, defences, barracks, and stores at this station,
have been transferred from the War Department to the
Colonial Government, and placed solely under the dis-
posal of the Governor. This highly judicious measure,
adopted by Lord Panmure, will prove not only benefi-
cial to the colony, but one of great economy to her Ma-
jesty's Government.—Caledonian Mercury.
THE MURDERER MARLEY. —lrumeaiately after the
sentence of death was passed, Marley was removed into
the interior of Newgate and the whole of his clothing
taken from him, and subjected to a most rigorous search,
in order to ascertain that he had nothing concealed by
which he could commit self-destruction. During this
process tire nonchalance and coolness which he evinced
during hisitrial seemed gradually to forsake him, and on
being subsequently cnnducted to the condemned room,
his courage completely failed, and the wretched man ca-t
himself upon the pallet completely overwhelmed with
grief. Two turnkeys were placed in the cell, and till
,he time arrives for his execution he will never be left
alone day or night.
JUSTICE versus JUSTICE.--It is a matter of fact tgat a
foxhuntitig magistrate, in his judgments on game cases
of his neighbour the game preserver, is exceedingly
merciful to the poacher. Why? Because the game
preserver kills foxes. On the other hand, a game pre-
serving magistrate adjudicating on cases of his neighbour
the fexhunter is extremely severe. Why ? Because
foxes worry game. What a beautiful picture of game pre.
serving, game laws, and country Justices' justice !
THE WEATHER.—NEWCASTLE-UPON TYNE, Saturday
Night.—An intense frost prevails in this town and
neighbourhood. On Friday morning the thermometer
kept outside the rooms of the Literary and Philosophical
Society stood at 30 degrees, and this morning it went
down to 25.5 degrees. A thermometer kept at Benwell,
near this town, by Mr. Thomas Dixon, has been as low
as 22 degrees, and the same and even greater depression
has occurred in other places. The country for miles
round is coveted with snow, and there is a large quan-
tity of floating ice in the river.
STEAM sum TAY.—The following is a copy ofja letter
sent to Wm. Strutt, E,q., late waster of the Tay :
"Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Marine
Department, Whitehall, Nov. 25, 1856. Sir,- am di-
rected by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council
for Trade to inform you that they have received the re-
port of Mr. Traill and Commander Robertson, R.N., on
the investigation into the loss of the Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company's steam ship Tay, on the 30th August
last, in the Gulf of Mexico, of which ship you were at
the time tee master; and as the court have not attri-
buted the loss of the ship to your wrongful act or default,
I am to return to you your master's certificate of compe-
tonoy. In so doing, however, my lords desire me to ex-
press their strong opinion of the slovenly and unofficer-
like manner in which the ship was navigated by you,—i
air, am, T. IL FAREZB."

MAREET NE 'Z.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

IMost of tbo untry markets held on Saturday wero
rather scantily I.lppli. d with English wheat, and the de-
mand for most kinks ruled steady, at full prices. Fine
barley cupporte,i f,rmer terms, but other qualities wore
heavy. Most other kinds of produce moved off slowly at
barely late rates.
The French markets have been rather dull for wheat;
but advices from other quarters state that a steady busi-
ness has been lately passing in that grain, at full prices.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were only moderate. From abroad the imports
amounted to 27,882 quarters of wheat, 2,774 barley, 9,628
oats, 673 beans, 1,825 peas, 5t30 tares, 7,680 linseed, 3,240
rapeseed, 5t mustard seed, 2,270 sundry seeds, 359 sacks,
and 36,785 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day from the home counties was very moderate,
but there was a further slight improvement in the condi-
tion of most of the samples. There was a fair attendance
of both town and country millers. The demand for al
kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, and last
Monday's quotations were well supported ; in some in-
stances prices were rather in favour of sellers.
There was rather a largo quantity of foreign wheat on
the market, fresh as well as ex granary. Importers were
firm in their demands, and an improved amount of busi-
ness was transacted, in most descriptions, at full prices.
Floating cargoes wore held at extreme rates, but sales
were comparatively small.

The show of barley was only moderate, most of the late
arrivals having been worked off, and the barley trade ruled
steady, at foil currencies. _

Malt was in fair supply and sluggish request on former
terms.

There was a fair demand ,for oats, and late rates were
well supported. Fine corn was 6d dearer. Beans were in
improved request , but not dearer.

Peas sold to a fair extent, on former terms, except white
qualities, which were is to 2s per quarter cheaper.
We had an improved demand for flour, at very full
prices. The show of American was large.

The purchases of stock in Holland on French account
have not increased of late, and only a limited number of
beasts and sheep are being bought up in Spain, owing to
their unusually high value.
To•day's market was but moderately supplied with ft.-
reign stock, the quality of which was good.

The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts was
seasonably good, and in improved condition. For nearly
all breeds we had a steady demand, and, in most instances,
prices were 2d per Sibs higher than on Monday last. The
best Scots sold readily at 5e per 81bs.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton.
shire we received 2,000 short-horns, from other parts of
England 700 of various breeds, from Ireland 700 oxen, and
from Scotland 200 Scots.

There was only a moderate show of most breeds of sheep,
the quality of which was by no mear.s prime. On the
whole, the mutton trade ruled firm, at prices quite equal
to those realised on Monday last. The primest Downs
realised 5s 2d. per Sibs. There were 500 Irish sheep in the
market.

The supply of calves was limited, and the veal trade
ruled firm, at an improvement in value of 4d per 81bs.
The top figure was 5s 4d per 81bs.

Pigs sold to a moderate extent. In prices no change
:ook place.
