CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Liverpool Cotten Market, yesterday, closed
quietly, and,. compared with Friday, the prices of
all kinds were the same. The sales amounted to
6,000 bales, comprising 1,000 for export. The
Railway Share Market was steady, at a slight ad-
vance in prices.
The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
have opened with a very firm appearance this
Week, full prices being current for all the
Principal articicq. For sugar there is a good
demand on Continental account. Coffee maintains
previous values, and rum is steady. Rice is quiet,
but firm. The stock of this article is about
43,000 tons. Notwithstanding the advices from
China, which inspire the hope that hostilities will
80011 terminate, tea is well supported ; common
eeng.,ou being about ls. Old. prompt per lb. The
tallow trade yesterday were much occupied with
the settlement of the account for delivery in March ;
80s. was the price, and several hundred tons were
Settled. The market has been good for delivery in
April, and April to June. Last three months
rather easier. The best authorities in Petersburg
Seem now to agree that the quantity of tallow has
been hitherto over estimated. It is now said that
the quantity will not exceed 118 m. casks, and some
Parties mention even a less quantity. The current
Prices are marked March 80s., April 555., April
and June 525: 9d. to 535., October and December

The half-yearly meeting of the Linares Mining
Company was held to-day; Mr. Warne in the chair.
The accounts showed that the returns of ore sold,
and on hand, amounted to 46,2911.105. 4d., whilst
the mining costs for the six months amounted to
41,0911. 193. 9d. The appearance of the mine was
satisfactory. A shareholder complained that they
Were dividing now ss. per share, which would
be-about 2,0001. more than they had earned, the
Profit of the last half-year being only 5,1991. The
manager said the balance had been taken from past
earnings to makeup the dividend, which was agreed
to, and the accounts were passed.
The meeting of the New Grenada Mining Com-
PaAIY, convened for to-day, was adjourned to the
28th April, in consequence of the last West India
Steamer not bringing the letter bags.
The demand for money in Lombard-street to-day 11
is rather quieter, and it is stated in some places that
the last bills are negotiable at a shade under the
liank rate. This is rather surprising, seeing the E
large amount of commercial paper which has to t
be provided for, but the relief now noticed
is no doubt merely one of those pauses that

Occasionally take place, and which do not result
in any permanent improvement. In a day or two
Probably the demand will again become active,
and the market resume its previously stringent
condition. •

A further sum of 100,0001., in bar gold, was
taken from the Bank yesterday for transmission to
the Continent in payment for silver.
There is a buoyant market fo; Public Securities,
and a better, tone pervades the other departments,
notwithstanding the position of the money market
and the drain of gold. The Funds have been fa-
Vourably influenced this morning by a large pur-
chase of stock by the Govern Mont broker. Consols
hai,e been 933/4 f / for transfer, 93/ for account,
and 94 for May. The March Exchequer Bills
are par to 4s. premium ; the June ditto, Is. dis-
count ; and the Bonds, 98g.

• The business lransactei in Railway Shares this
morning has been limited, but prices in most in-
Stances have shown an improving tendency. Bristol
add Exeter have advanced 10s.; Caledonian, 10s. ; _
Zastern Counties, 53. ; Great Northern, 10s. to 15s. ;
North-Western, ss. ; Norfolk,ll. ; and North-East-
ern, York, 10s. to 153. Lancashire and Yorkshire,
Brighton and Soutb -Eastern, were at previous
li
quotations. The Frfnch lines have fully main-
li
tained their values. Northern of France have ad- II
'anted 55., and Eastern of France ss. Grand
Trunk of Canada and Great-Western of Canada ;
have been very buo3 ant, and fully previous values
are current.

- In Mining Shares no business of any importance
has s been reported, and prices are without alteration.
- Joint Stock Bank Shares rule dull, and generally
at lower rates. London Joint Stock declined 10s.,
Union of London, 10s. ; London and Westmin-
ater, ss. ; British North American and Union of

Australia ruled rather flatter.
The Miscellaneous undertakings have been very ;

A private letter from Senegal announces that the fri-
gate Nemesis, bearing the, flag of Admiral Rigault de
,Genouilly, anchored in the roads on the 28th February,
-coming from Brest. The Nemesis was to sail immedi-
lately, and to continue her course to China, where it was
-expected she would arrive in May, and join the squadron
under Admiral Guerin.
ETON COLLICG; Monday.—On Friday, the 33 April,
the Easter vacation commences, on which day the whole
of the students take their departure. The holidays ter-
minate on the 29th April, when the lower boys return;
.the fifth form return on Thursday, the 30th April ; and
,the sixth form on Friday, the Ist May, when the whole
school will have assembled.
DUBLIN AND KINGSTOWN RAILWAY.—The half-yearly
meeting was held at Dublin on Saturday. The report
showed a balance of 12,3571. on the half-year's account,
after deducting expenses and other payments from the
16,000/. received from theWicklow Company for rent. The
•chairnian said the alteration of the gauge was now
nearly completed in a substantial manner, and arrange-
ments were contemplated by the Wicklow Company
which would tend to increase the traffic.
RAPID PRINTING PRESSES.—The New York Herald
, felicitates itself upon the completion of its two new five
storey mammoth ten cylinder presses. They are capable
of throwing off over twenty thousand an hour continu-
ously ; and, compared " with the ordinary double cylin-
der printing press, the contrast presented is equal to
that of a one storey shanty alongside of a magnificent
five storey brown stone
Palace on the Fifth Avenue ;
while, in point of speed,
-t is a locomotive to a Boston
truck."
THE CLUBS AT BUCHAREST.--_There has been a fusion
of the two political clubs at Bucharest, and their pro-
gramme is :-1. Autonomy of the Danubian Principali-
ties in the sense of the ancient Moldo-Wallacho-Turkish
Treaties, under the suzerainete of the
guarantee of the great Powers. 2Sultan, and the
2. The union of
the two Principalities. 3. The election of an
hereditary Prince, who shall be a member of Como
reign-
ing
European family. His offspring to be educated
the Oriental-Anatolian (United Greek or Armenian) re-
ligion. 4. Representative Government." „ few no

ceived

PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM OF PRIISSIA.—It turns
out not to have been the Prince of Prussia who so nar-
rowly escaped an upset from his carriage at Remagen
last week, but his son, Prince Frederich Wilhelm. The
accident also was very much less dangerous
than the first descriptions gave us to understand,
inasmuch as only the pole of the carriage
was driven against the side of -a house, and
only the horses received a shock—inasmuch as the young
Prince and his companion bad already jumped out. On
passing through Berlin a few days afterwards, the
young Prince found time immediately after his arrival
to inspect the progress of the works at the Palace which
is being got ready for him and his future bride.
