CITY, Two o'Cto
Accounts from Liverpool :ep.nt that the Cotton
Market yea'.c,day presented a heavy appearance,
and prices of all kinds are the same, except Ameri.
can, which declined :Id. per lb. The sales were
estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were
taken on speculation The Railway Share Market
closed with rather more animation, and quotations
slightly improved.
The City of Baltimore, from New York, has
brought 50,0001. in dollars.
The arrival of the Royal Charter from Mel-
bourne, after a pa,sage of 93 days, is important as
bringing an immediately available supply of gold
to the extent of 406,0001. to meet the heavy con-
tinental demand, which, since the last Bank return
Was issued, has absorbed about 300,0001. of the
bullion in its vaults, and which, unless met by
fresh receipts, would have still further diminished
the amount it has on hand. By the time the
*36,000/. has been despatched, there will
probably bo other arrivals to render any
further drain on the Bank unnecessary. With
regard to the destination of these shipments
to the continent, we learn that the greater
portion finds its way to Vienna and Constanti-
nople, evidently in connection with the financial
operations of the Governments of Austria and
Turkey,
.

The value of money is very easy, being now at
2i and upwards, with a most abundant supply;
but there is a good demand for discount.
There are a number of railway calls due to-day,
amounting, however, to only about 150,0001.
The transactions in the English Stock Market
to-day have bean limited, and prices, owing to the
unfavourable character of the Indian advises,
together with a supposition that something un-
pleasant may occur in New Caledonia with the
'United States' authorities, in connection with the
proceedings of the Governor, have exhibited a
further downward, tendency. Consols for money
have been 95 and 94, 95, and for the account 95
aid , 951:b I. They are now rather firmer, viz.,
71 I, for money, and 95/ to 95i for the account.

duced Annuities, 95g, The New 21 per Cents.
Were dealt in at 7E02, 793. Bank Stock remained
steady at 222, India Stock at 218, and the Deben-
tures 991 and 99. The March Exchequer Bills
Were at 335.1 prem., and the June Bills at 21s.
to 244. prem.
The number of transactions recorded in the
Foreign Stock Market are rather limited, but quo-
tations remain without any alteration of importance.

Cents., 103 ; ditto Scrip, -k dis. ; Alexican 3 per

The transactions in the Railway Share Market
to-day are limited, and in most instances connected
With the arrangements for the liquidation of the
accounts. Prices have shown a slight advance.

SAVAGE ATTACK. ON A WARDER AT CIIATIIAIL—Yes-
ttrday, as a party of convicts were at work ou the screw
',Learner, Orpheus, in Chatham Dockyard, under the
e„Yarge of a man named Donelly, one of them, named
xlioreeton; suddenly attacked the warder with a heavy
phe iNo of batten, knocking hies down and beating hi till
became' insensible. He then struck him eeveral tm imes
that
a mallet. On Donelly's being rescued it was found
;net his arm and several of his ribs were broken. Ile was
ti,ken to the infirmary of the prison, when he was pro
trounced Ur be in a very precarious state.
A. rumour is going about which declares the late resig-
egtion of • General Espinasse to Lave been causedentirely by an exceedingly hazardous joke of Prince
Napoleon, who, in a moment of irritation, had criticised
le rather harsh terms certain measures adopted by the
ace minister. A tale.bearer had exaggerated the story,
'41(1 reported to Espinasse that the Prince bad 'el:.
sanglier ; whereupon Eipin'asse,
nlanatieu, was bidden to be comforted, for the Prince
ileeied any such imputation, and added that he had
seeking an
tiever thotight Espinasse wild enough for that. It is
Ikiedless to themselves, say on whose side the laughers have rallied
Court Journal.
enliateAlOßE SlRllB.—lt is said no more Sikhs are to be
d. It appears that the Commissioner of Meerut,
Navin g aepLied for some horsemen, was referred to Sir
John Lawrence, who rep lied thet having already raised
a number 'of Putijabeeaand Sikhs, he did not thick it
advisable to °outhouse() doing, but thought it would be
better to etili4 men in other provinces. If this rePolu-
ou has been collie to no one will venture to dispute its
Wisdom ; because it would be just as insane to fill the
ranks of our native army with Sikhs as it was to do so
.1
o* Rinciustanis. The desertion of Major Burton atA
tltb by the Sikh guards, and several other instances,
lootiye that as a race the Sikhs are no more to be relied
„'" 'he hour of need than any other race of Asiatics.
