CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, and without animation. Compared with
Friday's rates prices of all kinds of American were
shade dearer, and other kinds were without
change. The sales were 10,000 bales (1,000 for
et port and 2,000 on speculation), comprising 450
Penam and Maranham, 6M. to 711 d. ; 150 Bahia,
61d. to 6d. ; 800 Egyptian, bid. to 9d. ; 1,000
klurat, 3id. to 41d. and 100 Sea Islands, 94d.
t° is. 6d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was
quiet.

Upon the Liverpool wool trade Messrs. Alcram,
Qartside and Co., state that " the market has been
itctive during the past month, and prices of many
descriptions have again improved. Lightness of
stock is admitted everywhere, and the continental
Markets aro as bare as our own. The average ad-
!trice in value since the commencement of the year
ie about 15 per cent."

Accounts from Denmark state that the Govern-
bent has presented to the deliberative Assembly
the ordinary budg't for the communal expenditure,
Which is collected from landed property. This year
It is increased 5 millions to the sum of 28,000,000
dollars. No further meetings have been held on
thl question of the Sound Dues, and it is not ex-
pected that any will take place until the result of
the Conferences at Paris is known.
The French Government has published a report
11 M. Durenton, who is in charge of the tobacco
'warehouses at Algeria, wherein he states that he
has purchased 2,932,120 kilogrammes of leaf
tobacco from Algerian planters during the year
1855. Of this quantity 2,640,189 kilogrammes
Were raised by Europeans, and 291,93 r kilos. by
actives. The average price given for it was 100 fr.
Per metrical quintal, giving a total, in round num-
bers, of 3,000,000 fr. as the value of this new pro-
duct. Besides tobacco, it is expected that cotton
Will, ere long, be an important article of Algerian
Produce.

Accounts from the Vienna Bourse mention that
there has been considerable animation there ; and
the demand for Austtian 5 per Cent. Metallics
'4480 them to advance 1 per cent. to 84i, and
the 41 per Cents. 4 to 73k. The New General
'lank
of Credit rose 4tl. to 37611., being an advance
`11176f1. on the value of the original shares issued.
'3cchanges are rising. On London it is now 10 6,
411(1 on Paris to 1201.

-111 consequence of several merchants connected
with the Australian trade not having received their
hills of lading for gold and other articles on board
the James Baines, it is generally believed that the
Whole of the mail has not reached its destination ;
4Od as letters have to be posted this evening for the
Victoria, which will leave for Australia to-morrow,
considerable inconvenience has resulted. Many are
,stlius unable to complete their correspondence satis-
Lictorily, and great blame is attached to the autho-
rities at Liverpool, who, it is contended, transmit
"oreign and Colonial mails to the metropolis in a
t°ll slovenly manner.
Rather a heavy tone has pervaded the market
t Public Securities, and prices have declined, but
they now appear rather firmer. There is very little
uthliness doing, and the absence of further intelli-
Pries connected with the Conferences has au un-
14'rourable influence. Consols from 914 -.2. receded
t°9l but they have since recovered to their
iqrraer point. For the 11th inst. they have been
51.11 I and 91i 5. The New Scrip is 1 premium,
and the Exchequer ditto 11 premium. The settling
'1,13' is fixed for to-morrow. Exchequer Bills are
discount to is. premium. The New 3 per
are 924,1 to 93, and the Reduced 91i1 to 92.
'tlclia Stock is 225.

Foreign Securities are rather weaker. Turkish '
Per Cents. are 96i, which is about ± per cent.
ftlower than yesterday, but the 4 per Cents, remain
Ceuta.

remittance of 4,1851. 10s. 6d. has been re-
ei'red on account of the dividends on the foreign
debt of Equador.
At the meeting of Now Grenadian Bondholders
resolution was passed for authorizing the Direc-
to4 giving up the Peruvian Dollar Bonds on the
the terms proposed, and another was passed re-
qtlesting the New Grenadian Government to allow
the regular appropriation of one.half of the cus-
telne duties toward the liquidation of the foreign
debt.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
'tooks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7i; Mexican,

3 Per Cents., 42:1 31 ; ditto Deferred, 231 ; ditto
Certificates, 41 o ; Ditto Passive, 61 4.

In Railway Shares there is very little movement,
and the transactions are limited. Aberdeen have re-
teded 55., Great Northern 183. to it., and Brighton
18s. to 155., but South-Eastern and a few others
Lite firmer. Great Central of France are 183.
4igher. The Colonial lines are steady.
Mining and Banking Shares are dull, Peninsular
Mid Oriental are 15s. better.

°Y the Poor.law Commissioners to the office of poor.
111 W inspector, vacant by the death of Mr. Hall. Dr.
Brodie formerly filled the office of temporary inspector,
tut was discontinued on the redaction which took place
October, 1852.
MISS STANLEY.--We are informed that Miss Stanley
at laid been openly received into the bosoes of the
ilionbish Church. Her Romish predilections have been
'°ng known, and, considering her real sentiments, we
'believe that her conduct in regard to the Nurses, was as
fair as could have been expected. Miss Stanley is the
'tighter of the late Bishop of Norwich, and the sister
of the Rev. A. P. Stanley, the biographer of Dr. Arnold.
*r Romanistic tendencies have been long notorious,
beyond the precincts of her family, and were alluded to
ill the Rocord in 1854, as one of the grounds of our op-
Position to the mission of the Crimean Nurses.
