AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday manifested a heavy appearance,
and prices continued to decline. The s:►les
amounted to 2,000 hale 9, 300 of which were taken
by the speculators. The Railway Share Market
closed with more animation, and quotations
slightly improved.

Nothwithstanding the more favourable feeling
produced by the advices received yesterday from
America, much anxiety still exists to ascertain the
results of the cessation of remittances to this coun-
try. It is argued that a month hence the move-
ment may be resumed, but in the meantime it may
be asked how will our American houses be affected ?
So extensive have their operations been, that they
depended upon the specie brought by each mail to
keep their business in motion, but when these sup-
plies are suddenly stopped, and their credit
is impaired, the effects must inevitably be
very distressing. Numerous features have
already been recorded, and others must
ensue. Great difficulty is found in getting bills
discounted which are in any way connected with
the American trade, and under these circumstances
many respectable houses are perplexed and brought
down, although the extent of their assets does not
warrant the calamity. A large number of these esta-
blishments are looked upon with suspicion, and the
failure of Messrs. Thornton, Huggins, Ward,
and Co., and also of the Liverpool Borough
Bank, has increased the apprehension felt upon the
subject of credit. The 4th of the month will not
be passed over without some difficuty, for in other
departments of business the current high rates of
interest have occasioned much embarrassment.
After this severe financial derangement it can
hardly be supposed that an alteration in the exist-
ing monetary laws will be delayed. Fhe present
system is fully proved to be inadequate, and if it
were not for the apathy of the commercial interest
in the matter a reformation would have
loiig since been effected. In periods of com-
parative ease the currency question scarcely
attracts a passing notice, the mercantile
public being mere profitably employed in
their varied transactions than in agitating upon
the subject of monetary reform. In times of
stringency on the other hand, the merchants, d-c,,
have enough to do in looking most carefully after
their affairs, and guarding against contingencies.
But until they enter into the subject with spirit, and
memorialise the Government, and otherwise show
their disapprobation of the system, they must ex-
pect to be periodically inconvenienced by revulsions
such as that now so generally and severely experi-
enced.

The meeting of the East Indian Railway Com-
pany has just been held, when a fLvourable report
was presented, showing the nett revenue of the
past half year for the part opened was 40,2151. ss.
sd. The chairman (Mr. Crawford) in answer to
a question, said The injury done to parts of
the line by the mutineers was not of very great
consequence." The report was adopted.
The Bank Directors held a very long discussion
to-day, the Court having adjourned at five minutes
past one o'clock. No alteration was made in the
discount regulations, and it is probable that the
principal subject of debate was the position of the
Liverpool Borough Bank.
In the general Discount Market there has been
an increased demand for accommodation, but yet
it cannot be said that any severe pressure is expe-
rienced. Trade, although reduced in extent by
the late restrictions, is still sufficiently active to
maintain a good enquiry, and the slightly impaired
state of credit, consequent on the late failures, in-
duces many parties to increase their available
balances.

There has been more buoyancy in the market for
English securities to-day, and as buyers have pre-
ponderated, an improvement of about per cent.
has taken place compared with the prices of yester•
day. The market, however, is rather uncertain,
and tho fluctuation of oper cent. frequently occurs.
When it was found that the Bank meeting was so
protracted, the market showed a slight indication
of weakness, but renewed firmness is now visible.
Consols have been 881 14-, and 89 k for money,
whilst for accounts they were 88-k 89,1-. The pre-
sent prices are 881 89, and 89 to 89,1 respectively.
The New Threes were 88 to 88k, and the Reduced,

Very few transactions have taken place in
Foreign Securities, which are generally rather
flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents., for instance, have
been dull, at 874 4 and 88 ; and ditto 4 per Cents.
at 97k. Chilian 6 per Cents. are 1011 ; Granada
New Active Bonds, 18 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents.,
43 ; and Spanish Deferred, 25g.

TFIE ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR PLYMOUTR.—Mr.
Braddon is going on favourably, but it is feared he will
Lift the sight of oue eye.

ADELPHI THEATRE.—Last evening a new apropos
sketch, caned the "Drapery Question, or, Who'd for
India," was produced with success. The principal cha-
racters were sustained by Messrs Wright, Paul Bedford,
C. Selby (the author), Miss Seeley, and Miss Wilton.
The title is sufficiently suggestive, without entering into
the plot. The house wascrowded.
The Duke of Modena has issued a decree relieving
vine growers of all taxes for the year 1857 on all such
lands as are exclusively cultivated as vineyards. Those
who have derived some profit from their vineyards by
sowing corn in them are to pay one-third of the usual
taxes. The duty on the tho consumption of wine is
also suspended until September, 1858.
