NONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE'.

CITY, r.r.wr) o'CLom

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
quietly but firmly, without any material change.
The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 500 for
export and 1,500 on speculation, comprising 220
Pernam and Maranham, at 6:d. to 71d. ; 100
Bahia, 6gd. ; 100 Egyptian, at 61d. to 7d. ; and
1,000 Surat, 40. to sd. per lb. The Railway
Share Market closed steadily, at a slight decline.
The advices from New York state that zroney

continued very abundant, and the weekly returns
of the City banks exhibited a steady extension of
discount operations. At the samo time, owing to
the influx of gold from Calfornia, the bullion was
increasing, and on the 21st ult. it amounted to
17,871,955/.
The accounts from the Western States reported
an extensive business in grain and large supplies
from Illinois and Wisconsin were expected. The
new crops were sufficiently advanced to enable the
farmers to estimate the probable yield, and almost
all parties anticipated it would prove abundant.
The Arabia, arrived from Now York, brings
$1,570,309 ; the Ericsson, from the same place,
$201,000 ; and the Oliver Cromwell, from New
South Wales, 500 sovereigns—malting a total of
al),out 354,7621. The continual shipments of the
pious metals to the Continent, notwithstanding
tiva exchanges are unfavoura ble for such
00viations, and the large amount sent away
by t e Euxine to India and China, I ast week, have
give rise to the impression that the next Bank
Ret rn will show a slight diminution in the stock
of illion. It is, however, probable that several
vex IS are near at hand from, the Austra-
lian Colonies with large supplies of gold,
and that the steady augmentation of the
precious metals in Threadneedle-street wiil not be
arrested. The demand for money in Lombard-
Street- continues quiet, and in. several instances
bills have been been negotiated at a fraction below
4 per cent.

The Market for Public Sectwities continues dull,
and the business transacted in of a limited charac-
ter. Preparations are now in progress for
the seAlement of the afJcount, and this be-
ing " making -up " day attention is prin-
cipally. diverted by the necessary arrange-
ments. Consols for money have been 953. /.
Special transfers have been made at the same
quotation. The Scrip is 41 premium. The New
Three per Cents are 96 to 97, and the Reduced
96 to 961. Bank Stock is 2181, being firm. Ex-
chequer Bills are 17s. to 20s. premium, and the
Bonds 1001 -
In the Foreign Market there is verylittle activity.
Turkish 6 per Cents. have risen to 1041 105,
and the 4 per Cents. to 106 i. Spanish 3 per
Cents. are 461 ; the Deferred ditto, 244 ; and Sar-
dinians 92/. Russian 41 per Cents. have declined
to 99. There have been dealings in Austrian 5
per Cents. at 871 ex dividend, Buenos Ayres at 87
to 88, and Dutch 21 per Cents. at 65.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 71 8 ; Mexi-
-221 3 ; Peruvian, 81 83 ; ditto 3 per Cents.,

Spanish 3 per Cents., 46t. 2 ; ditto New Deferred,
24i 5 ; ditto Passive, 6/ 7.
Railway Shares are generally at lower prices,
but the decline is not very important. Great
Northern, Bristol, and Exeter, and one or two
others, may be quoted as exceptions, being firmer.
The French and Colonial lines maintain their
previous value. Paris and Lyons have risen 1/.
Itigas have been in demand at an improvement
to 41. The Euphrates are g-a prem. ; Ceylons,
prem. ; and Bengals, prem.

?RIGHTFUL sTEAM.TIOAT COLLISION.

LIVERPOOL, Sunday Evening.—About 2 o'clock this
Inorning the iron screw steamer The Mail, belonging to
the Dublin Screw Steam Company's fleet, was entering
the Mersey from Dublin when she was run into opposite
the Rock Lighthouse by the new iron steamer Excelsior,
Proceeding to Belfast.
The Mail had stopped her engines, but the Excelsior
was at full speed. Her stem entered the port how of the
Mail and penetrated as far as the foremast, tearing up
everything on its way, killing on the spot 5 Irish farm
jlabourers asleep under the spar deck, and so severely in-
uring fl others that 3, have since died. The remainder
are lying at tbe Northern Hospital in a dangerous state.
The Excelsior has lost her figurehead, bowsprit, anchor,
and cable chain, but was otherwise uninjured, and pro-
ceeded on her voyage. The Mail was cut down to the
IWater's edge, but sustained no injury below the water
~ ine. The names of the killed are Michael Doran, John
"rI4Y, Martin Howes,. Brian Mahon, and Morris Con-
'7l. There are three others whosebodies have not been
4tified. The other sufferers are John Murphy, Pa-
lk Battle, Lawrence Durkin, Michael Kilhorn,
piel Noon, and Thomas Neil. There were on board
lut 70 deck and 4 cabin passengers. None of the
1, were injured. An inquiry wilt be opened in the

bISTURRANCES AT DANTZIC.—A letter from Dautzic,
received, states that the troubles which for a rco-
Lnent caused some anxiety, are over. Tiny were not
of a political character, although they grew out of cer-
tain local usages which' had been violated by particular
corporations.
tlt appears from the Belgian Moniteur that the plan of
easrs. Bischoffsheim, Brugmann, De Brouckere, De
Boohoo, and Oppenheim to found a Cr6dit Mobilier at
Brussels on the same principle as that at Paris has been
indefinitely-po.tPoned, on an objection of the Minister
of Finance that, at the present moment, it would afford
a timulna to gambling.
rs HARVEIAN ORATION.—The annual Harveian
E-r4tiou (in Latin) was delivered on Saturday in the
laa (:f the Royal College of Physicians, Pall-mall
st
pbei't Dr. Hamilton Roe, in the presence
171:.f Oriel of the
W.hester Bishop of Bath and Wells, Provost
E. Chester,
M.P., and a number of fel-
rs and 'members of the college. Dr. Paris, the presi-
ent of the college, in the chair.
InTRi FATAL FIRE AT WOOLWICH.—On Saturday an
quest was held by Mr. Carttar, the coroner for Kent,
the Castle Inn, Woolwich, on the body of Mrs. Eliza-
beth Jewsberry, who was suffocated at the fire which
9ccasioned the destruction of the Canterbury Music-hall,
in that town. The jury returned a verdict--". That the
deceased was suffocated by a fire which occurred on the
teeht of the 3d inst., but how the said fire originated
Wam no evidence to show."
rle CORPORATION REFORM BILL.—We have much
hlure in'being able to announce that a motion will be
t., evening made in the House of Commons, for leave
tho "'rig in a bill to confer the municipal franchise on all
o'n3o persons in the city of London who possess the Par-
e!itary franchise. We congratulate the tor oration
this proof of their l'beral" ty and of their readiness to

on the step they have taken, they
