MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Tho sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 5,000 tales, 1,000 of which were taken for
export and on speculation. The market closed steadily.—
Railway Shares were firm, and prices had improved.
The expected increase in the amount of bullion held
by the Bank of England occurred during the week to
the 6th instant, and among the other indications of the
abundance of money was a great addition to the deposits
and a alight curtailment of the advances upon Stock.
Every feature of the return corresponds to what was
observable prier to the late revolution at Paris, and the
accumulation of assets must, ere long, revive the ques-
tion of the maintenance of the existing rate of discount.
Compared with the previous week, the changes aro as
follows:—

COMMISSION OF LUNAC Tuesday
an inquiry
was opened at the Plough Hotel, Cheltenham, under a writ
de lunatico inquirendo, to ascertain the state of mind of
J. G. Beavan, Esq., who is well known in Cheltenham as a
gentleman of independent property, and a magistrate acting
for this district. The inquiry
was opened before Francisßarlow, Esq., one of the Commissioners of Lunacy, the writ
being issued out by the friends of the unfortunate gentle-
man. After a protracted investigation the jury returned the
following verdict :—" That John Griffiths Beavan is of
unsound mind, and has been so from the Ist day of
June, 1851."

MIDLAND COUNTIES CATTLE Snow.—The total
number of visitors to this show during the week has been

The dinner took place last night, and passed off with much
eclat. Lord Lyttelton presided, and Messrs. Spooner and
Schulefield and the Mayor of Birmingham were the principal
speakers.
