CITY, Two o' °mere
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yestrirday there
was less animation, and prices slighlAy declined.
The sales were estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000
bales. The Railway Share Market closed steadily,
and the values of all the leading stocks improved.
There is still a moderate demand for discount
accommodation, but a general complaint is still
made of the continued inactivity of business.,
Although it remains in a quiet state, symptoms of
improvement are nevertheless manifested, and had
it not been for the uneasiness produced by. politics]
events a further amendment would in all proba-
bility Imre been experienced. The commer-
cial advices from India and America are quite is
favourable as could have been expected, a partial
recovery having taken place in both countries.
In the United Sates money had become exceed-
ingly abundant and easy, but the return of confi-
dence, after the severe crisis of last auturen, meet
necessarily be very gredual ; and, al hough few
transactions are now concluded, when compare.'
with former periods, there is some satisfaction in
knowing that the, are all of a bona fide character,
and untainted by any speculative tendency. In
India, the success which has attended the sup-
pression of the revolt appears to have reassured
the public mind there, and the import markets,
which have for some mouths remained in a stag-
nant state, again exhibit some signs of ameliora-
tion. From Australia the intelligence is less en-
couraging, and no improvement in that direction can
be anticipated until the excessive stocks of merchan-
dise in Melbonrne and Sydo ey are diminished. It the
accounts from the two firmer places, hewever,
continue to report a steady improvement, they will
produce a favourable influence upon commercial
affairs here, especially if money remains easy. The
utmost caution is observed in all transactions, and
the mercantile public, it is hoped, will take warn-
ing from the past and henceforward shun the per-
nicious system of credit which, during the
late panic, was proved to have been almost
universally adopted. When political affairs
have settled down into a quieter state, and it is
seen that the members of the new administration
are fit for the situations to which they have been
elevated, there is every reason to expect that a
general improrement will ha observable in most
departments of trade.
The remittances to the East by the Malabar
amount to 165,3381,, viz., 163,900/. to Bombay,

ROYAL BRITIS3 BANlE.—Yesterday Mr. Harding, the
official manager of the Court of Chancery, with Mr.
Linklater, representing the Male in bankruptcy, and
Messrs. Sharpe, Field, and Jackson, solicitors for the
various shareholders, attended before Vice-Chancellor
Bindersley, in chambers, for the purpose of further pro-
ceeding with proposals of compromise under the Winding
up Act. Mr. Harding submitted 82 new caaee, which
were approved of by the Vice-Chancellor, making a total
of 153 cases of compromise now approved of ander the
administration by the official manager of this estate,
after investigating with great care and labour the
circumstances of the parties, and which led to the
conclusion that amicable arrangement would prove more
advantageous to all parties than protracted litigation.
The aggregate amount of compromises thus dealt with,
up to the present time is about 100,0001., and it it un-
derstood that there is a large number still ander consi-
deration. It was decided, on the application of Mr,
Linklater, that the dividend about to be declared by the
°facial manager might be declared only on debts that
have been proved both in bankruptcy and Chancery, so
that the assignees might have au opportunity of inveati-
gating all other claims. Tae last day fur receiving
Proofs in bankruptcy is the 19th inst.
