MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocic.

The Liverpool Cotton Market ye,terday closed
'with a dull appearance, but prices of all descrip-
tions were unaltered. The sales were estimated
at 5,000 bales, 1,500 of which were taken by the
exporters. The Railway Share Market closed
quietly, and prices were a shade lower.
In the Fereign and Colonial Produce Markets
this week a fair amount of business has been trans-
acted, but there is an absence of that a:tivily which
WM experienced a few weeks since. Sugar has
further declined, the quotations being fully 6d. to
It lower than they were last week. Coffee has
been in steady • demand, at high rates, but Cocoa
has been rather cheaper, and also Rice. In Tea
the transactions have been very limited, but pre-
'ijous prices are supported, Common Congou being
2id- per lb. Spices atti acted very little atten-
re. Mace is cheaper, but GingEr, Nutmegs, and
'ilnerto are steady. Cochineal has declined Id.
Per lb., and Saltpetre is dull in the absence of
811". The Tallow Market has rather improved.
Further accounts of gold are announced from
Australia, and although a portion may be di-
verted to the Continent, there is an expectation
that a moderate amount will be sold to the Bank
°t England. The vessel which is reported this
alorning, the Walmer Castle, with 40,000 ounces,
!allied at 160,000/., and as the wind is now in a
favourable quarter, it is expecte 1 that the other
ajerdue ships will soon make their appearance.
The total supplies from Au,tralia this week has
been nearly 800,0001., but up to the present time
not more than 20,0001. or 30,0001. has been added
ta the metallic reserves in Threadneedle street.
It Should be mentioned, however, that the greater
Part of these remittances have not yet arrived in
town.

relaxation in the demand for money has yet
en place, as the number of bills falling due to-
day are almost as heavy as those liquidated yester-
day. Up to this period no failures have occurred ;
t—",, judging from the caution observed in most de-
partments of business, no serious embarrassments
"'e anticipated.
An improvement of ± per per cent. has taken
place in the English Stock Market to-day, and its
d_ile has undergone a favourable change. Yester-
day there was a considerable degree of weakness,
fit..l the tendency was in the direction of a li
ic7ther decline, but in the afternoon a rally
bas place, and the advancing movement

PALL OF THE NEW ROMAN CATHOLIO CATHEDRAL
dT PLYMOUTH.—The Roman Catholics in Plymouth
cOe for some time past had in course of erecion, in a
leading to Eldad, a noble-looking structure, which

Wards completion, and it was expected that it wool I be

°Pe was entirely destroyed yesterday (Wednesday), for
early in the afternoon about half of the roof fell in with 1
• h tremendous crash, and the building, with its lofty
Western front standing apart from the roof which con
nests the transept with the chancel of the church, pre-
terits the appearance of a ruin. Happily no live were
ost. The church was formed with side aisles, and from
one sad to the other the roof, which was an extremely

These pillars were formed of Bath stone, and
the arches Springing from them were of brick. The Bath

am, and some it split, and thus endangered the whole
structure. Before the measures for shoring up could be
the architect saw t
that the building was
likely to fall, and he had only time to warn the men to
leave the building, and then to get away himself, when
the four mrn
uthe arches of the nave, and the large
eastern arch, fell with a tremendous crash, bringing down
with them the southern clerestory. —Plymouth Jauiltat
