A N ASSIZE WITHOUT CALENDARS.- •No calendars have
been printed for the Kent winter assize, which was
opened yesterday. The South, Eastcrn Gazette says :
" As our readers are aware, a dispute has existed for
some time past, whether the cost of these document!,
should ha borne by the high sheriff, or defrayed out of
the county rates, and as the responsibility has not been
satisfactorily fixed, none have been published. This it.

Accounts from LiverpooClTY, Two o'Cl. l ihetition that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed heavily, and values slightly
declined.. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales,
1,500 of which were taken by the speculators. The
Railway Share Market exhibited a quiet appear-
ance, and prices were without any material
alteration.
Produce Markets have again been very quiet this
week, and the occurrence of failures seems to have
caused increased depression. All things considered,
however, the purchases chiefly for immediate wants
have been to a fair extent, and the prices have born
well supported. In sugar a moderate amount of
business was done, and a rise of ls. per cwt. was
established. A few speculative purchases were
made, but they were not of importance. Coffee is
dull an 3 steady; cocoa realises former prices ; rice
is rather cheaper ; and spices are generally rather
heavy. Tallow is firmer, viz, 51s. per cwt. for
Y.C. on the spot.
About 12,000/. in gold was sold to the Bank of
England yesterday, and as the withdrawals during
the past week have been limited, the return to
appear in this evening's Gazette will no doubt ex-
hibit a large increase under the head of Bullion.
With regard to the Reserve of Notes and the Other
Securities there is not a very sanguine feeling, as
the pressure for money has been severe, owing to
the prepa:ations for tho pajments to-day, the 4th
of the month.

These engagements are believed to be rather
heavy, and more than usual interest is felt to as-
certain how they will he met. Several failures are
predicted in consequence of the difficulty eaperi•
enced in getting discounts, and the stoppages on
the Continent and at Lome. The demand for
money is active, and full rates are paid for accom-
modation.

Subjoined is a memorandum from the Committee
of Mexican Bondholders :

" The committee have advices from Mr. Whitehead,
dated Mexico, the 3d ult. The agents of the bond-
holders had collected for the dividend fund, partly
in bills and partly in cash, altogether about $57,823
—viz., in Vera Cruz, $32,430 ; in Colima, $24,546 ;
in MazAtlan, San Blas, and Guaymas, $846, which
would be shipped as opportunities occurred. The
present packet brings $12.000 from Vera Cruz, but in
Tampico nothing had as yet been received. Mr. White-
head bad had an interview with the new Minister of
Finance, Senor Payno, and had obtained from him the
recovery of $12,326 in Colima, which are included in
the above aggregate amount. The Government was
contemplating a loan of $5,000,000 to pay off floating
debts. At the date of Mr. Whitehead's letter the Pre-
sident had not yet obtained the extraordinary powers for
which he had asked, but later accounts through the
United States state that fact. With the exception of
the trouble which sundry vagrant predatory bands
caused in some parts of the Republic the country was
quiet." _ _

- Telegraphic information has been received of the
arrival of the Tumar at Alexandria. According to
the message she has 131,000 our-ces of gold, and
15,000 sovereigns on board.
A balance sheet has been issued by Messrs. San-
derson, Sandeman, and Co., which shows a surplus
of 105,9611. ; but this liable to some diminution, as
there are upwards of 2,000,000/. of bills which have
not yet run off.

The market for English Stocks is rather heavy
to-day, and sales have preponderated. Many of
the speculators are deterred from " carrying ovet"
by the heavy " contango," viz., per cent., and
moreover by the unfavourable influences which
from time to time may be caused by the Parlia-
mentary debates. The discussion last night has
been much canvassed in the City, and may in
some measure have produced the heavy tone now
perceptible. The quotations, however, have under-
gone little variation, and they are now within a frac-
tion of what they closel at yesterday. Consols for
money had been 91f and 91 to 91i, but the pre-
sent quotation is 91 to 91}; and for January 8,
911 4. The New Three per Cents, have been 90 to
901 ; and the Reduced, 904 ; Bauk Stock is
216 to 218 ; and India dit o, 218 ; Exchequer Bills
are 4s. el's. to par ; and the Bonds, 971 to 981.
Thera has been very little animation in the
market fi ir Foreign Securities, and prices are flatter.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 914 to 92 ; Ru=sian 45
per Cents., 961; Mexican 3 per Cents., 191 ; Por-
tuguese 3 per Cents., 434 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents.,
975 ; Dutch 24 per Cents., 62i ; and ditto 4 per
Cents., 96.
