01TY, Two o'CLook.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday com-
plete firmness prevailed, without any variations in
prices from last Friday's rates. The sales amcunted
to 10,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the
speculators. The Railway Share Market manifested
a firm appearance, and prices slightly advanced.
The following circular has been published by
Messrs. Jewesbury and Co. for transmission to
India by the Overland Mail :
" On the 10th ult. the Bank further raised the rate of
discount to 7 per cent., at which rate it continued until the
sth inst., when a reduction f 6 per cent. took place, the mini-
mum rate now being 61 per cent. These present high rates
of money, however, have had little or no effect upon our
colonial markets generally, and we have to report a more
active demand for most of the leading articles of consumption
than is usual at this time of the year, and prices again show
an upward tendency. Sugar and saltpetre are both
clearer. Dyes and dyeing materials have been in fair de-
mand. Cochineal has latterly been more in request, and the
fall of Id. to 2d. per lb. noticed in our last has been reco-
vered. Lac dye remains quiet, at former rates. The markets
have been freely supplied, and the deliveries from the ware-
houses continue satisfactory. From the continental produce
markets the reports are that business was quiet, as is usual at
this season, but that prices were very firm. From the cotton
manufacturing districts we hear that since the arrival of time
Overland Mail, bringing large orders for India and China,
business had been very brisk, at reduced rates. From the
woollen districts the accounts state that a moderate business
was being done, for the time of year, at fully former rates."
The financial crisis which has lately prevailed at
Copenhagen is spreading to other parts of Den-
mark ; money is exceedingly scarce, and cannot be
obtained except on very onerous terms. At Kiel
several failures in the grain trade have been
announced, owing to the heavy speculation which
has recently been carried on. At Hamburg money
is more plentiful, two and three months' bills hav-
ing been discounted at 4i per cent., and second
qualities at 5 per cent.
From Paris the acc punts state that the question
now exciting chief attention is the probability of
an immediate alteration in the discount regulations
of the Bank of France. It is presumed that the
position of the establishment is so much improved
as to admit of some relaxation, and the first step,
it is supposed, will be the negotiation of bills
having 90 days to run, the period hitherto having
been restricted to 60 days.
About half of the gold brought by the True
Briton has been sent into the Bank of England,
the remainder having been transmitted to France.
As was generally anticipated, the Bank of Eng
land Directors have separated after their usual
Thursday Court without making any further change
in the official value of discownt accommodation.
This determination was expected, because the
demand for money "out of doors " for commercial
purposes is supported, and, unless under very
extraordinary circumstances, the authorities I
are disinclined to reduce the minimum too
rapidly. Besides this the position of monetary
affairs in France has not yet sufficiently improved ;
and as the anomalous situation in which our market
has recently been placed is in part attributable to
the progress of events on the other side of the
Channel, the authorities are compelled to be
guided by financial movements abroad as well as at
home. As soon as the former are more favourable,
and the Bank of France is enabled to afford in-

Creased relief to the commercial community, a fur-
ther relaxation may be expected here, providing
no new obstacles arise.
The Stock Market is quieter than for a long time
past, the inactivity usually succeeding the closing
of the transfer books being augmented by the
little disposition shown to extend operations for an
advance. As long as the market remains firm,
however, the speculators who bought at lower
quotations do not seem inclined to realise, as
there is a better prospect of an additional improve-
ment than of a reactionary movement. Consols
have been 93; to 94 all the morning. The New
Three per Cents. have been 93; to 94, and the
Reduced 936 /. Exchequer Bills are ss. to Bs.

There has been a very dull market for English
Railway Snares, and with the exception of Cale-
donian and South-Eastern prices have shown but

little variation from yesterday's closing rates,.
Caledonian, owing to a very active demand and
tho scarcity of stock on the market, has improved
about 21., and South-Eastern has also been in re-

quest at an advance of about 11. Great Northern

and Brighton declined about 53. The French,
Canadian, Belgian, and East Indian lines have
been very inactive, at barely previous quotations.
In Joint Stock Bank Shares the transactions are
extremely limited. Australasian Bank declined
10s., London Chartered of Australia 10s., and
Union. of Australia 10s. to 155.
In Miscellaneous Shares the only change to re-
Port has been a decline of 1/. on Canada Land, and
10s. to 15% on Peninsular and Oriental New Shares.

THE LOSS OF THE ADRIATIC.—LIVERPOOL, Wednes-
`4Y--The 'steam-tug Rattler proceeded this afternoon
"3 the assistance of the ship Adriatic, Captsin Coombes,
ashore on the Dungarvon Sands. It appears that the
ill-fated ship was putting back at the time, leaking, hav-
ing struck, it is stated, upon a sunken wreck, and was
la charge of a pilot. In making for Dungarvon Har-
bour the Adriatic struck upon Black Rick, bent over,
and went ashore on the sands. If the weather is mode-
rate, it is believed that the cargo between decks will be
saved.
DEATH OP' FATHER MATHEW.—The "Apostle of
Temperance" died yesterday at his residence in Queens-
town. The benefit conferred by Father Mathew upon
the IriMh people was of incalculable value. They believed
for a time that he possessed superhuman power—not
'to save them from the evils 001:18Equent upon intem-
perate habits —but that he could heal the sick, restore
sight to the blind, and grant absolution for mortal sine.
As soon as they bad reason to doubt his medicinal caps'
city they gradually withdrew their faith in him, and after
few years they merely regarded him as a zealous aivo-
tate Of temperance, and a good priest.
