COMINIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market 'yesterday closed heavily, but prices were
unaltered. The sales were estimated at 5,000
bales. The railway Share Market closed with a
dull appearance, and the values of all the leading
stocks have declined.

. _
The Foreign andVolonial Produce Markets since
our last report have exhibited rather more activity.
Tea is at full rates, and a large business has been
done in the better qualities ; about 33,000 packages
will be sold at public sale to-morrow when high
rates are expected to be realised. Sugar has been
in better request and fully late rates are supported
for the better grocery descriptions, low refining
qualities were in demand, and realised a slight ad-
vance. Coffee has been quiet, but no change can
be noted on quotations. For rice there was amo
derate inquiry, and notwithstanding the decline of
3s. to 4s. in Mark Lane, priceshave in most instances
been fully supported. The demand for rum has
been active, and a large business has been transacted
in Demerara and Leewards at fully former quota-
tions. There was an active inquiry for saltpetre,
and prices have advanced about Is. per cwt., and
tallow has been firmer, P. Y. C. having realised 595.
3d. for present delivery, and 58s. 3s. to 58s. 6d. for
last three months.
The condition of some of- the money markets
abroad is becoming very unsatisfactory, and the
terms of discount in two or three of the principal
cities of the continent are already much• abov? the
average. In Holland, where 4 per cent, is consi-
dered a high quotation, money is now worth 5 per
cent., and at Hamburg and Berlin an advance to
4 per cent. has just bean notified. In Vienna, also,
there is more etringenoy, and it is feared that most
of the German Banks will he compelled to impose
additional restrictions. In France discount accom-
modation is still very dear, but the tendency, as
far as can be judged from the recent advices, is
not unfavourable, and trade is improving. But
the Bank of France is still buying gold, and if
these operations should become more extensive
increased pressure may be anticipated here. A large
portion of the .recent Australian supplies have
been absorbed, and should the movement continue
discussions will soon be heard as to the prospect
of the minimum being raised to 6 per cent.
The immediate demand for discounts is exceed-
ingly active, and, although the supply is consider-
able owing to the high rates of interest offered for
deposits "on call," the full charge of 5i per cent.
is in almost all cases exacted.
It is expected that the gold brought by the Nor-
folk, from Australia, will be delivered to-day.
A part, if not all, will probably be sent to the
continent. Several other vessels are due, with
Specie, but it must be remembered that the time of
Year is not favourable for quick passages.
The English Stock Market continues in an
apathetic state. Values remain unaltered, and
during the last few days the fluctuation has been
only per cent. There are consequently no move-
ments to comment upon, and until later advices
from India are received, the market is expected to
show no material alteration. Consols are 90i I,
and for account, Oct. 14, 901 and The New 2i
per Cents. are 75 ; Exchequer Bills, Bs. to 4s.
discount ; and India Bonds, 235. discount. East
India Stock is 210 to 2121.

In the Foreign Market operations are also very--
circumscribed, and the tendency of prices is rather
unfavourable, but the changes have been exceed
ingly limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are about
94g 95, and dealings have been recorded as follows:
--Mexican 3 per Cents. are 21* ; Portuguese 3
per Cent. 1856 Bonds, 56 ; Russian 4A per Cents.
99 21, and Spanish Deferred, 251. -

Business in the Railway Share Market this

reported have exhibited the following variations :
Eastern Counties declined. ss. ; South Western fl
etnd North Eastern Berwick, 10s. ; Caledonian,"
155., and North Eastern York, 1/. ; Great
Northern and North Western advanced 55., and
Great Western and Scottish Central 10s. In the
Foreign and Colonial lines prices were depressed.

Namur and Liege, and Great Luxemburg
were a shade lower, and the French lines were
at quite nominal values. Grand Trunk of Canada
declined 1/., and Great Western of Canada, 55.

advanced to 13. 1
Joint Stock Bank and miscellaneous shares ex- '
hibited a downward tendency. English, Scottish,
and Australian Chartered, London and Westmin-
ster, Ottoman Bank, and Western of London, each

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A correspondent informs us
that yesterday morning the 26 minutes past 9 o'clock
train from Putney was run into by another train at the
ticket-platform over Westminster bridge-road. Several
passengers were much shaken. Had it not been that the
engineer got the train in motion the consequences might
have been terrific. Our correspocdent says that he was
in one of the carriages and had a very severe blow on
the face. The accident, according to our correspondent,
must have originated either from the train being on the
wrong line of rails, or because the signal was not on, or
was neblected by the engineer.
IMPORTANT TO LODGING-HOUSE KEEPERS.— In the .
Lambeth County Court, yesterday, an action was
brought by a lodging-house keeper at Brixton, named
-"hew?, to recover the amount.of a fortnight's rent and
a dinner provided for the defendant, an officer in the
East India Company's service, named Lawrence. It
appeared that the defendant had taken apartments at
the plaintiff's house, and ordered a dinnerto be provided,
but afterwards wrote a letter declining the apartments.
It was pleaded by the eclicitor for the defendant (Mr.
Ody) that the plaintiff was precluded by the Statute
of Frauds from recovering the rent under the circum-
stances. His Honour said the .Statute of Frauds was
the cause of more frauds being perpetrated than it had
ever prevented, and gave a verdict for the amount of the
dinner only.
THE LATE SIR CHARLES SHABERLEY, BART.--Sir
Charles Peter Sleakerley, Bart., who dl d: at Somerford
Park, near Congleton, Cheshire, on Monday, in his 65th

kerleys left a daughter, who married, in 1764, Charles
Buckworth, Esq , of Park-place, Barks, who assumed in

kerley alone. He died in 1834, leaving kwo sons, the
elder of whom was the gentleman so. recently deceased,
and who, having served the office of high sheriff of his
native county in 1837, was created a bayonet in the fol-
lowing year, on the occar-ion of her Majesty's coronation.
He married, lit, in 1819, Marine. Laure Angelique
Rosalba, daughter of the Marquis d'Avaray, from whom
be was divorced in 1830 ; and, 2J, in 1831, Jessie, the
daughter of James Se.itt, Req., of Rotherfield Park,
