Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed quietly, but at the extreme
rates of last week. The sales were estimated at
4,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the
exporters. The Railway Share Market exhibited
a quiet appearance, but a moderate business was
transacted.
There was a meeting held yesterday of the cre-
ditors of Messrs P. Sinanedes and Company. The
Parties present expressed an opinion in favour of
winding up the estate under inspection, in prefe-
rence to a resort to the Bankruptcy Court. Ulti-
mately an adjournment for three we .ks was agreed
to for the purpose of receiving further information
from Alexandria, respecting the debt of P. H.
Andrea and Son. Mr. Quilter, the accountant,
stated that the total liabilities to creditors, secured
and unsecured, amounted to 36,5411. 7s. 31. ; and
the assets, consisting of cash in hand, bad and
doubtful debts, &c. &c., were estimated at 25,0761.
4s. 9d. ; leaving a deficiency of 11,4651. 2s. 6d.
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were
rather flatter, and very little business was trans-
acted.
A further supply of gold has arrived by the
Blackwall, and as several other ships are expected
during the next week or two, the general stock of
the precious metals is likely to be materially aug-
rnented. The quantity brought by the Blackwall is
80,648 ounces, or about 322,5921., and among the
vessels which are next expected are the Derwent,
the Admiral, the Orwell, the Austral, the George
Marshall, and the Royal Charter. The aggregate
amount to be received, therefore, is likely to
be far in excess of the quantity required for
purchases of silver, but as a proof that the
aheorptiOn on that account is still
very active, it may be mentioned that the whole
of the remittance by the Mermaid has already been
taken for shipment to France.
An active demand continues to prevail for dis-
counts, and high rates are paid for the required ac-
commodation.
From a Parliamentary paper just issued it ap-
pear 3 that the amount of Exchequer Bills raised
for the supplies of 1857, out-standing on the Ist.
inst., was 21,049,7001.
A meeting of the Lynvi Vale Railway Company
Was held to-day, but it was said to be of a private
character.

There has been a very heavy market to-day for
English Securities, although the movement in
Prices has not exceeded per cent. Some weak-
ness was occasioned by the announcement that all the
gold by the Mermaid had been sent abroad, but sub-
sequently the arrival of the Blackwall with a further
supply led to rather more firmness. Still, however,
business is remarkably dull, and no revival of spe-
culation is looked for at present. C msols have
been 93,1 I, and 93i for money, and 93i for the
account. Bank Stock is firm at 222. Exchequer
Bills are par to 3s. prem., and the Bonds 981.
Most of the Foreign Securities have remaine 1 at
nominal pricer', as very few bargains have been
officially recorded. Turkish I per Cents. have re-
ceded per cent., viz., to 96a 1, and the present
quotation is 961 97. Peruvian ,A per Cents. are
78i, and French 4i per Cents. 93 50, with the ex-
change at 25 20.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bouds, 6k 7 ; Mexi-
can, 22k ; Peruvian, 4i per Cents., 78 SO ;
ditto Three per Cents., 55 57 ; Portuguese 3 per
Cents., 44k 451 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 107 9 ; do.
4i per Cents., 97 99; Spanish 3 par Cents., 401 411;
ditto New Deferred, 241 ; Ditt• Certificates,
ti ; Ditto Passive, 5i 6.
There has been a limited business done in Rail-

way Shares this morning, and most of the leading
lines have declined to the extent of about to per
cent. Chester and Holyhead receded 10s. ; Eastern
Counties, ss. ; East Lancashire, 10s. ; Edinburgh,
Perth, and Dundee, 10s. ; Great Western, ss. ;
' 'Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. ; North-Western,

South-Eastern about 11. Paris and Lyons have
_ _

declined 155., Grand Trunk of Canada 10s., and
Great Western of Canada about ss.
kilt Mining Shares the dealings have been very
limited. Devon Great Consols improved to 4571 ;
North Wheal Basset to 321 33 ; and Santiago de

In Banking and Miscellaneous Shares there is
Very little alteration to notice. London and

The friends of the late Dr. Buckland have determined 20
that a bust of- the deceased gentleman shall be placed in p,
the new museum, with the geological collection which 20
he presented to the University of Oxford. 20
Sir H. Rawlinson, in a letter to the Daily News, says, 20
" Sir,—My attention having been drawn to a paragraph 20
in your paper of yesterday, which announces that I have
been requested by her Majesty's Government to accept
the mission to China, I think it my duty to state that 11
you have been altogether misinformed. No communiea- 2
tion whatever, either direct or indirect, has passed be-
tween her Majesty's Government and myself on the sub- Q
jest of China. There is not, in fact, a word of truth in
the rumour to which you have given currency. and I
trust, therefore, you will have no objection to publish
in your next number this, my unqualified contradiction
of it."
IP/WRATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—On Wednesday even-
ing a labourer, named Ambrose Arnold, aged 36, in the
service of Mr. Treadwell, of Hartley, died from the
effects of a bite from a mad dog, which he received in
May last. On Monday the deceased ftlt very unwell,
on the following day symptoms of madness presented
themselves, and on Wednesday ha became so un-
manageable, that he was conveyed to the union, where
he died in a raving state the same evening, howling like
a dog.—South. Eastern Gazette.
