The Sun.
London, England, 1858-07-01 00:00:00

The Liverpool Cotton market yesterday pre-
sented a very firm appearance, and prices of most
descriptions slightly advanced. The sales were
estimated 'at 10,000 bales, 2,000 of which were
taken for export and 1,000 on speculation. In the
Railway Share Market there was no animation,
and former values were barely supported.
The withdrawal of gold from the Bank appears
to have recommenced, upwards of 30,0001. having
been sent away yesterday. Its destination is the
Continent, whither further remittances will pro-
bably be made during the next fortnight. In
the meantime, however, a moderate supply is ex-
pected from the Antipodes, two or three vessels
being already overdue, including the Royal Charter.
As the drain to the East has abited, there is no
expectation of any serious declension in the stock
of the preCious metals in Threadneedle-street ; but
it is scarcely probable that the total will long
remain at its present elevated point.
There is rather less inquiry for money, but the
market still exhibits a good deal of animation. The
applications have been far more extensive than was
expected, and the rates in the open market are
slightly above the minimum, .but in a few days
there is a prospect of greater ease, although the
Consol settlement and the Indian Loan instalment
may temporarily maintain the demand for accom-
modation.

Another small failure was reported yesterday,
viz., that of Skeen and Freeman, in the timber
trade. The liabilities are computed at 30,0001. to
50;0001., and the assets are believed to be limited.
The transactions in the English Stock Market
have been exceedingly limited, and there is little
alteration to notice in quotations. The Three
per Cent. Contols, for the Account, ex divi-
dend, have been dealt in at 95k. 951, and the
latest quotation is still 95} 1. The New
Three per Cents. and the Reduced Annuities,
951 ; Bank Stock, 220 to 222 ; Exchequer Bills
fbr June are 17s. to 20s. prem., and the Borids
100/ 10L The attention of the dealers and brokers
will now be directed to the settlement, which it is
tlipposed will be rather a heavy one.
A rather extensive business has been done in
Foreign Securitie., and prices remain steady.

Mr. Noble, the eminent sculptor, yesterday had the
honour of submitting to Prince Albert the colossal bust
of his Rcyal Highness which is about to be presented by
the Executive Committee of the Art Treasures to the
city of Manchester.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
presents this week a decrease of 9,832/. ; the Great
Northern a decrease of 1,729/. ; and the Great Western
a decrease of 1,1081.
METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL, DEVONSHIRE-SQUARE.
--The aggregate number of patients relieved at this in-
stitution during the week ending Satarday. June 26,
was—Medical, 672 ; surgical, 405. Total, 1077.
The postal conventions now projecting between Eng-
land and Spain and Portugal will, if agreed to, greatly
seduce the almost. prohibitory postal rates now charged
on the Spanish and Portuguese dependencies, such as the
Azores, Cape de Verdi, Canary Islands, Cuba, and
Madeira.

S:CULLEES' RACE FOR 401.—A. capitally contested
millers race took place yesterday between James Curtis,
of Thames-street, and Thomas Hopkins, of Billingsgate,
both the competitors being saleJnen at the above p'ace.
The Venus accompanied the race, and was fi led. Mr.
Andrew Wentzell wes chosen referee, and the men got
otf well together, Curtis, however, soon took the lead,
and held it all the way, although his opponent, who met
with an accident or
wo, pressed him at times very
()say.
110Vr TO CATCH NANA SAHIB.—" An Indian colonel,"
in the Spectator, gives the following as " the only in-
fallible receipt to Catch Nana Sahib" :—" Let the Go-
vernment ttk Mr. J. C. Wilson of the civil service—
now, I believe Judge M('''adah'ad—to capture him. It
requires no personal knowledge of the villain to insure
his apprehension. Mr. Wilson will most probably take
into his confidence some 30 Asiatics ; with these well
mounted and armed, he will make a dash at his prer., Mr.
Wilson is one of the best detectives in India He
was
a Thug-officer—lmo been a magistrate accustomed
to long rides,---to• finish by sitting on a wall all
night and dropping down on his victim in the dawn.
The offer by Lord Canning of 10,0001, for the ono_
tore of tho Nana will not have the desired etr,ct,
simply because the natives are afraid of each other.
Their name would be compromised amorp: themselves,
.though there may not be C,e slightest affinity lo caste
between the captor and the prisoner, while in the
Wilson case those who join him will satif fy their cow
.sciences by throwirg the onus on him. With the Nana
on his saddle-how, the flanks protected, a few men to
bring up the nee, and by fighting for a very few
minutes, the pries will be secured. If my advice is not
taken, the Nana will slip off quietly when the game is
up, and years hence you will hear be has died at a Rood
old age in the garb of a rel'gious mendicant at Dwarka."
Letters from Alexandria allude vaguely to the desire
of the Viceroy of Egypt to raise a loan. We have reason
to believe that this impression is not unfounded, but his
highness's position is sufficiently anomalous to render
the raising of a foreign loan an operation of some daft-
lty.
