THE STEAMER MANCHESTER.
The following are extracts from letters received at Lloyd's
his day :

Heligoland, June 19, 1844.
" A black board, with 'Manchester in gilt letters on it, with
some cotton twist attached to it, has been picked up this
morning to the north, outside the River Elbe. It is reported
by some of the fishing boats that a quantity of cabin furni-
ture and pieces of wreck have been passed drifting about."
" Hamburgh, June 21, 1844.
" We are sorry to add that the Manchester steamer was
lost on the Sandy Island Riessen, at the Eider, where the
wreck is still lying. It is reported that none on board have
been saved ; but that part of her cargo was driven ashore.",
"Cuxhaven, June 22, 1844.
"Some cotton twist has been picli.ed up and landed here,
supposed belonging to the Manchester steamer, from Hull to
liambrurgh."

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a fair demand on Saturday for Cotton at Liver-
pool from the trade at steady prices. Sales 4,500 bales. Spe-
culators and exporters were inactive. Shares were quiet—
Liverpool and Manchester, 223 ; Birmingham, 218 ; Ditto
Quarters, 24i; Midland Counties, 94; Paris and Lyons,
3/. 95.; Ditto and Rosen. U.
At the present moment a considerable degree of interest is
taken in the City at the state and condition of the principal
grain markets throughout the United Kingdom, as indica:
tive of the exportations of the yield in the several localities.
Now, while the great metropolis, and its vicinity, has suf.
feredfrom an absence of good rains for mazy weeks past,
(those that have occurred scarcely moistening the surface)
almost every district beyond 25 miles from London, has been
blessed with genial showers. The Hull Corn Trade Report
states that in the wheat district there, and in other places
northward, rains had prevailed, during all the week,
and that the sales of corn had fallen off. This was the
case at Wakefield. The anticipation entertained in
many quarters that a speculative demand will pre-
vail for foreign wheat has not yet been realised
to any extent. Still there can be no doubt
that very considerable importations will take place,.from the
Baltic and other Continental ports very shortly, in the hope
that prices will rise for it, and profits be realised.
Independently of the information contained in the letters
to our Morning Contemporaries from Southampton, relative
to. West Indian affairs, the private mercantile advices are
deficient: of interest. It is not immaterial, however,
to note that vegetation, in most of the plantations
was in a progressive and satisfactory condition. Com-
plaints 'were still, however, made that the labouring
population were disposed to inactivity. The rumoured in-
tention of her Majesty's Government to alter the sugar duties
in favour of foreign free grown produce, had excited some
sensation; and a meeting to petition Parliament against the
agitation of such topics frequently, by which operations in
the Colonies were unhinged, was in contemplation.
It was not anticipated that the private and country
bankers would, through the efforts of their delegates, obtain
any modifications of the plan of the Government for the
future registration of the currency and banking in England.
At the recent interviews there were several points pressed
upon Sir.R.Peel, which, it is asserted in well informed circles,
were met with favour by him, and probably this evening the
ultimatum of the Minister will be stated to Parliament. The
deputation deserve to be successful, as they have worked hard
and continuously for the benefit of the general body whom
they have represented. It will be observed that Bank of
England Stock is heavy, in consequence of an impression
that the Government will yield in some way to the wishes
of the private and joint-stock banks.
The commercial letters from New York, and other parts
of America, do not contain any news of much interest as to
trade. No question an attempt will be madd to influence the
Cotton Market in consequence of the exaggerated accounts
of the damage done to the plants by the overflowing of the
Mississippi.
A rather dull market has prevailed this morning for Con-
sols, which, for the Account, have just been sold at 98g.
We have not heard of any large sales of Stock. Reduced
Three per Cents. have receded from 99i to 99* ; and the
Three-and-a- Half per Cents. Reduced at 104. Exchequer
Bills have fallen to 735. premium. The demand for money
has advanced. Bank Stock is at 194, and India Bonds were
at 94 96 premium.
An opinion was entertained on Saturday, that the divi-
lends upon the Three per Cent. Spanish Bonds would be
advertised to-day; and as there was no confirmation of the
statement to this effect, the market has been fiat to-day--
the Actives at 23k, and the Threes at 35. Still our informa-
tion is that the interest upon the latter, due the Ist proximo,
will be forthconiing. A further advance has taken place in
the Dutch Securities, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. having
just been quoted at 62g, and the Five per Cents. to 100*.
In the other Continental and South American Bonds, the
transactions have been but few to-day.
Not much business has been reported in the Railway Share
Market this morning. The quotations are very nearly the
same as on Siiturday. London and Birmingham have been
done at 119 premium ; North Midland at 6 discount ; and
York and North Midland at 72 premium. London and West-
minster Bank Shares •are at 6* premium, and London Joint
Stock Bank at 44 premium.
