is Count HENRY AVIGDOR, who resided several years
in London, where he married the second daughter of
Baron GOLDSMID. Count AVIGDOR is of the political
school of Sir ROBERT PEEL ; he also is a free-trader,
and, it is hoped that he will bring into the Piedmon
tese Parliament that practical spirit in business the
principles of which he studied during his long resi-
cl#nce in England."

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy,
and Americans were id. per lbelower The sales were
estimated at 5,000 bales,, of which 600 American etiero
taken for expert, and 700 on speculation. The sales
comprised 4,ooo.Ameriaan, 900 Pernam and Maranham
at bid. to 6id., 200 ,Surat at 4id. to 5d., and 40 See
Island at ls. Id. to le. 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares
were firm arid tolerably- active, and prices were
looking up.
The Colonial Produce Markets have continued ex-
ceedingly dull, and Stocks are now in some cases larger
than those held last year, while the consumption scarcely
keeps pace with the supplies.
Mr. William Short advises us upon the metal trade
as follows:—" Iron—The demand for Welch bars has
become very slack during the past month, and in Scotch
pigs there has been a decline of full ss. per ton. Lead
has risen 205., and seems likely to be dearer. Tin—Ease
India sorts are flatter and lower, but English Tin is un-
altered, with a fair business. Spelter is also lower, and
holders evince a disposition to meet the buyers as they
appear."
The Overland Mail brings interesting commercial
news from India, and the accounts from the different pre-
sidencies vary rather conspicuously. At Calcutta there was
an improvement in the demand for imports, and British
'Cotton Goods were more extensively placed. Manchester
Yarns were also looking up. Money was very abundant,
but in more demand. Exports were experiencing a •
hea!thy incriiiry, although business was rather circum-
scribed by the- want of a sufficient choice. Indigo was
firm, and with a fair *inquiry.
The Bombay report presents quite a contrast to that
from Calcutta, for the Money Market was unsettled, and
imports were in an unsatisfactory position. The native
dealers complained of extreme difficulty in effecting sales
even at reduced prices, the stocks on hand 'being too
large. Some improvement was hoped for. after the
Hooley holidays.
A very important measure seems to have been re-
solved upon by the Indian Government, and one which
may exercise a marked influence upon mercantile opera-
, Lions hero, viz., an increase in the duties upon imports,
and a reduction in those upon exports. Certain Britieh
articles, twist for example, will suffer, it is stated, from
this change, but, on the other hand, the paeducts of the
East will benefit. Undoubtedly, duties upon exports
are objectionable, but if the revenue would permit, an
augmentation in the charges upon imports should be
studiously avoided.
The Continental papers bring no important news
this morning, but what we have is accounted satit,fec-
' tory, and the English Stock Market is, in consequence,
still improving. Consols have realised 95i to 961 for
Money and Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 981 to 99, and the Three per Cents.

The rumours concerning a Peruvian lean have been
explained in the wsy which we stated yesterday hey
would be, cix., by an official intimation from the Censul-
Geeeralof the nepubllc, that no such operetion is in-
tended, but that to meet the deficiency- in the tevenue
of 1549, the amount due to the Government from cer-
tain parties who have received guano, is .to be antici-
pated. Capitalists in Peru, it is said, are ready to furnish
the le quisi to aesistance.
The prices of Peruvian Active Bonds have ranged
this morning from 73; to 74i, and of the Deferred from
311 to 311. Alexi:an Bonds have been 29/ 1. Portu-
