AND
COMDIT2MOTAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were
lolly supported. The sales were estimated at
7,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the
rtes ex-
ers. The Railway Share Market closed with a
3 animated appearance, and prices have slightly
declined.
A:moderate demand has prevailed this week for
bloat descriptions of Foreign and Colonial produce,
!id steady prices have generally been realised.
t'tlgarhas met with an active inquiry, and the quo-
Minns have slightly tended upwards. Coffee has
realised an advance of 6d. per cwt., tea is at full
Lalues, and rice is dull, owing to the enhanced
ems asked by the importers. Saltpetre is firmer
la Consequence of the news from India, cotton re-
blains steady, and tallow is at a slight decline. In
81licen a fair number of purchases have been made,
but
no important variation can be announced.
Although the decline in the value of stocks and
4,ares in the New York Money Market continued
the latest date, the panic feeling which recently
prevailed among the business community appears
have subsided, and as no further failures had
°ecnrred, it is expected. that affairs will
I°oll assume a tranquil aspect. A further
depressionaccommodation in value is not improbable, and
43count accommodation may remain dear,
Ibut no general mercantile distress is predicted.
e collapse just experienced was not altogether
4expected, the inflation in prices having been too
1,41. Did to prove substantial,' but the excitement
leads
is inseparable from a state of panic always
to unnecessary alarm and the circulation of
e
lireme opinions. The North Star has brought
vlOO,OOO for Have and $50,000 for England, not-
-I'6th-standing the low rate of exchange.
The Calcutta despatches enable U 3 toform a com-
ttrigon of the rates of exchange, with those received
jhthe previous mail. It will be observed by the
'uowing comparative table that the tendency both
i
India and China is decidedly favourable, but
wutwithstanding this the shipments by the Ripon
hteh leaves next Sunday will probably amount to
g 0,900/. of which about half is intended for Hong
ug and Shanghai. •

The Funds have been further depressed by the
additional intelligence receivel from India. A
decline of- per cent. took place imuted.iately after
th
commencement of business, owing to a few spe-
nialive sales, and since then little variation has
be
111 recorded. The market may be said to be in a very
Tigtlid condition, and while it derives no perceptible
benefit from any favourable symptom in money or
politics, discouraging indications, on the contrary,
tall4e increased heaviness. Consols for money have

THROWING STONES AT RAILWAY TRAINS. —Yesterday
luurnieg A. Worsum, a youth 14 years of age, the son
‘,....0ra baker at Worting, itarnp-,hire, attended before -Mr.
`lv. Chute and the Rev. B. Withers, magistrates for the.
county, at the Town-baA, Bas;ngst•ike, to answer to a
°ominous charging him with throwing a stone at the five
u'clock express train from Southampton. Inspector
ilent,lon the part of the South Western Railway Co-a-
-1"8313% attended to support the •suiw.Lone, and from hie
statement it appeared that, on the evening of Friday,
Lhe 28-.11 ult., while the five o'clock express train from
Tithamptnn was passing cl,se to the bridge at the
„Northing cutting, a stone struck .tl.e window of 'the
sward's van with such 3Jiolence as to shatter the glom-, to
atom,; and many particles 'of the latter struck Richard
Cuureber, the guard, on the clleek and face with such
.secs. as to cut him severely. Mr. Bent added that such
:2tR were not of ur.frequent occurrence, and the company
would spare no expen e in punishing their perpetrator.
rd protecting their servants and the public.. The de-
-Idant in reply, said the stone actuaty slipped from
mie hand from the bridge. The magistrates animad-
erted in severe terms on the mischief and dang€r o
e
3 practices, and convicted the defendant in a peralty
of 40a. and 7e. 6d. costs, or one month's imprisonment.
