• CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was
rather less animated, but firm at extreme prices for
all kinns, and an advance of id. per lb. was estab-
lished cn Brazil qualities. The sales were 5,000
bales. The Railway Share Market was dull, and
prices were about the same as on Saturday.
As the Eastern exchange presents no important
variation from those previously current, the de-
mand for silver and the scale of exportation will
continue to give active employment to the dealers
in bullion. Since the delivery of the mail the
market has been a trifle firmer, and it is believed
that the shipments on the 4'h will approach
800,0001. It is impossib'e to tell how the
insurrection in India may effect this drain, but as
far as can be at present determined it is likely to
cause increased remittances. A large amount
must necessarily be expended to restore order and
to make arrangements with the view of preventing
any fresh outbreak. If therefore the Indian Go-
vernment cannot obtain the necessary funds in the
money markets of Calcutta and Bombay, we may
expect an appeal to capitalists here.
The imports of specie from the Continent, chiefly
silver, continue large, nearly 100 cases having
been announced yesterday, principally from Ant-
werp and Rotterdam.
There is a good demand for money to-day. The
half-yearly balances will be struck at most of the
banking establishments this evening, and the en-
quiry has increased owing to a desire on the part of
depositors to have as much standing to their credit
as possible.
A meeting of the class A shareholders of the St.
Andrew's and Quebec Railway Company was held
this day. The Chairman moved that the bill en-
titled " A bill to incorporate the New Brunswick
and Canada Railway and Land Company, and for
other purposes relating to the said company," be
approved. Mr. Bates seconded the motion, which
was agreed to by a very large majority.
A meeting of the New Brunswick and Canada-
Land and Railway Company was also held, at
which the report was agreed to.
There is nothing of interest to report in connec-
tion with the English Stock Market, beyond a va-
riation of per cent. At the commencement the
prices were a shade firmer, owing to a more settled
feeling with regard to the insurrection in India,
but n °permanent improvement has been established,
and the market now appears lather flat. Very
little business is in progress, the share settlement
engrc”sing chief attention. Consols for the ac-
count have been 92/ W, and are now about 9213-
The New Threes are 92& /, the Reduced 92 tz,
and Long Annuities 2 7-16. There is rather more
firmness for Exchequer Bills, the quotationa now
being 7s. to 2s. discount, and the Bonds are 98a If.
There is a very inactive market for Foreign
Stocks, but prices are steady. Turkish 6 per Cents.

per Cents. 102 ; Peruvian 4i per. Cents. 80 ; Sar-
dinian 5 per Cents. 89i ; and Spanish Certifi-
ewes Q.
Business in the Railway Share Market is ex-
tremely flat, and the transactions are chiefly con-
nected with the settlement. All the leading lines,
including Great Northern, Lancashire and York-
shire, Bright in, North Western, and Midland, are
within a traction of the rates current yesterday,
but the tendency is rather unfavourable. The East
Indian and Canadian lines are quiet, but generally
heavy. The Foreign, in which there are very few
dealings, are firm. North of France have risent to
59a.
In Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares there
is no feature to notice.

TEE FRENCH ELECTION'S AND THE tot
NOLISH PRESS. I IAI

The French Ministerial papers, the Constitu-
tionnel and Pays; publi,h, by command, no doubt,
an article expressing the most magnificent wrath at
the remarks made upon the late elections in France
by the English press. These interesting twins of
the Government press are under one direction, they
are inspired by the same breath, they derive their
existence from the same source, and they perform
the same tune with the least possible variation on
the subject givtn to them. Lrke the Juftaks of
the Persian poet, they always move in couples—
" Like Cum sweet birds that fly Vgether,
With feather always touching feather,
Linke by a hook and eye."
The Constitutionnel and Pays are inclignant that it
should for a moment he supposed that France does
not enjoy the most complete liberty of writing,
speaking, and voting ; and from the summit to
which they are placed they affect t') look down with
pity, and perhaps with neon, on the inferiority of
other countries in all these respects. France, as
she is now ruled, is, ac ording to them, the model
of a free and enlightened nation, and anybody who
says the contrary is only moved by a narrow and
rancorous jealousy.
