Lt'erg from Liverpool siat3 that the Cotten
marke, yesterday clos,d quietly, bit firmly, and
prices for all descriptions were quit-3 as high al
last week. The sales were 7,000 bales, 200 for
export aryl 800 on speculation. The Railway Share
Market was dull, and prices were a shade lower
th.m. on Saturday.

A very small amount of gold was taken from the
13a134 yesterday, and the supply brought by the
Lightning has been purehmed for transmission to
the Continent.

During the next few dips the quantity just
received from Mexico and America will no doubt
satisfy the,demands of. shippers, and it is therefore
presumed that the efflux from the national esta-
blishment will b 3 checked. Large amounts still
arrive from the Continent, and it is said that the
steimer on the 20th inst. will take out almost as
hluoli as that on board the Ripon, which leaves
Sattliampt in to-day.

There is no new feature to report in connection
with the money market, except that the demand
consequent upon the payments to-day has slightly
increased. A full and. active inquiry now prevails,
and high terms are exacted by the discount firms.
Thee is no immediate apprehension of an advance
in the minimum, but on the other hand it is not
thought that accommodation will become cheaper
at present. The consol settlement on Thursday
next will, no doubt, create a good demand from
that quarter, but this will be merely temporary,
and if the specie drawn al)ated, or the influx to
feed it became larger, increased confidence
Would probably be 'entertained, but the ad-
vance in terms for biPs drawn upon the.
Presidencies, and the withdrawals from the
Bank, have produced an uneasy feeling, because
on former occasions au unfavourable movement of
that character has necessitated a restrictive policy
on the part of the authorities.

Another failure has taken place in the Stock
Exchange.

Renewed symptoms of weakness are exhibited in
the market for Public Securities, and a decline of
per cent. has taken place. This is purely the
result of speculative transactions connected with
the settlement, and the market appears in a, very
uncertain state. Nothing further has transpired in
connection with the progress of events in the East,
and as the demand for money is pressing, and the
specie movement is not satisfactory, the cootations
tend downwards. Consols for money and Thurs-
day have been 901 and 901 ; and for Septem-
ber 91 to 914 and 9:.0
.to 91. The present prices
are 90 5-16 to 2-16 and 90/ to 91 respectively•
The New 3 per Cents, are 90a ; and the Re
Coed 901 ; Exchequer Bills have risen to ls. clis.-
to par ; and Bank Stock is quoted at 2151 17.
The Foreign Market is quiet, and the prices
are rather weaker. Turkish 6 per Cents. have
dropped to 94R ; and the 4 per Cents. are at
nominal rates. Brazilian 41 per Cents. are at 971 ;
Chiliau 3 per Cents. 77 ; Russian 5 per Cents.
1111 ; do. Small Bonds 991 ; Spanish Deferred 25 ;
Dutch 4 per Cents. 93R g ; and Mexican 3 per

The subjoined communication is fro-m the com-
mittee of Mexican Bondholders. 'The committee
are without letters from Mr. Whitehead by the
Parana. They must have been left behind by some
accident. The packet brings no remittances for
the Dividend Fund.
" The committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed
the following settlirg days, viz. : —Ben-Accord Copper
Mining Company (limited), Monday, 10th August, and

DRURY-LANE DRAMATIC SEASON,—Tiii9 house opens
on the 7th pros. with Mr. Roberts in leading tragedy,
supported by the strongest company for serious drama
that has appeared at our "national p;ay-house" since
Macready's leveeeship. Mr. Roberts will make his bow
to a London audience as Sir Giles Overreach. He will
then play in succession Lear, Richard the Third, and
•
Othello.
It iq stated that the Eaatlndia Company have approved
the plans of the Eastern Bengal Railway Company, and
that a guarantee of 5 per cent, has been granted on their
capital of 1,000,000/. in the same manner as the other
lineq. The route runs from Calcutta through the Delta
of the Ganges towards DeCCI, and pa -see in the midst
of rich and extremely populous districts.
Further news from India may now be expected at any
moment by the Australian mail, which was to leave
Sydney on the 15th of June. She would touch at Point
de Galle about the 11th of July, where later intelligence
/nay have arrived from Madra., or she might fall in at
.Aden with any steamer despatched to that place by the
Llmhay anthoritie.. The Caradoc, it appears, is waiting
at Alexandria to bring any despatches that may arrive
to Cagliari to be transmitted to London by the Sardinian
jegranit.

PROPOSED NEW FOOT-BRIDGE OVER THE THAMES AT
nICUMOND.—The executive committee of the Conserva-
tive
.Land Socie'y having renewed negotiations for the
erection- of a footbridge across the Thames, in connec-
tion with the railway bridge,
the Viscount Irgestre, a deputation consisting of
M.P, and Mr. Henry Pownall,
rneinberB of the comrnitt-e, and Mr. G. Morgan, their
surveyor, accompanied by Mr. H. G. Day, f Islewortb,
waited by appointment yesterday on the Hon. C. Gore,
chief commissioner, at the office of Woods and Forests,
Whitehall. The bridge is designed to remedy the incon-
venience at present felt by the inhabitants of the locality,
from the want of a direct communication between Rich-
aloud and Islewortb. The project has received the
sanction of the S itrh-Western Railway Company, and
of the Corporation of London, as conservatora of the
Thames. Mr. Morgan, as architect and surveyor to the
society, prepared a plan as an outrigger to the railway
bridge, access to which would be gained at the Middle.
Sex and Surrey ends by light spiral itairca!3es. Ohjec'ion
has hitherto been made on the part of the Crown, that
to t
the bridge would interfere with ferry rights belonging
he Crown. The deputation were requested to com-
municate further information with reepect to the limits
of the ferries at Richmond and Isleworth.
