MONE IT AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
Consols left off very firmly at 988 to -a, supporting the
fall and advance of the morning. The Reduced Three-
and-a-Half per Cents. were at 102 k ; and the Three per
Cente. touched 99i ; Exchequer bills were scarcely so
well supported.
There was an advance in Spanish Three per Cents. to
35 ;in Mexican to 34i ;in Colombian to 13k ; and
in Portuguese Converted to 471 ; the market fur most
Foreign Stocks closing wel.
The additional transactions in Railway shares have
been these :—Birmingham and Derby, Thirds, were 313-
discount ; Easteiii Counties, New, 5i ; Great North of
England, 1 ; South-Western, 441 ; Newcastle and Dar-
lington, 19 ; and Yarmouth and Norwich, 4i toi, pre-
mium. Cobre Copper Mine were at 16 ; National Bank
of Ireland were 15, or 2k discount.
The foreign exchanges were scarcely so high on the
principal Continental cities, if we except Antwerp.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
steady. Sales 6,000 bales, viz.-200 I'ernams, at 50. to 6/d. ;
250 Egyptian, at 64d. to 80. ,• 100 Maranham, at sd. to 5/d. ;
600 Surat, at 3d. to 3,1 d. ; and the rest American, at 34d. to
6d. Speculators took 500 bales.—Shares were rather
better for South Eastern, but not quite so good for Bir-
mingham and Grand Junction. Birmingham and -Derby
were 63 ; Caledonian, 34 ; Chester and Holyhead, 5* ;
Eastern Counties, 114. Grand Junction, 219 ; Great Western,
121/ ; Birmingham, 218 ; Brighton, 47 ; South Western, 86 ;
South-Eastern, New, 11; Paris and Lyons, 31. 9s. 9d. ; Ditto
and Rouen, 38/ ; Orleans and Tours, 2A-
The ship arrivals continue tolerably numerous, but they
bring no later advices.'
The East India Company have announced that their rate
of exchange on Bengal and Madras is fixed for the present
at Is. 100., and upon Bombay at. Is. 101 d. per Company's
rupee.
The effect of the prohibition by the Prussian Govern-
ment
.of all time bargains in railway shares has been very
injurious, it is stated, to the value of those invest-
ments in the German exchanges. Large orders had
been received at Vienna from Berlin for the sale of
shares, and this leading to a sudden and considerable
decline had caused many of the speculators to become de-
faulters.

I The new Belgian loan is out. For every 104 f. in old 2i
per cents., 4i per cent. bonds will be given,:the interest com-
mencing from May, so that there will be a bonus to the an-
nuitant. Bankers and brokers will have per cent. com-
mission allowed them.
The Belgian Legislature has recently had rather an im-
portant subject under consideration, viz., the policy of
allowing about 7,000,000 kilogrammes of Dutch colo-
nial coffee to come in annually at reduced terms. The
objectors to the proposition contend that the English
merchant will benefit, to the detriment of the Bel-
gian, as we shall extend our commerce with Java, taking
coffee for our fabrics, and sending the pro-
duce to Rotterdam . for sale. This will diminish
the outlet for the cotton fabrics of Ghent, in
Dutch East India, and the reduction intended here on free
grown foreign coffee, will, it is urged, favour the Competi-
tion, as the chief difficulty with our merchants is to obtain
profitable returns from Java.
The public Securities have to-day been buoyant, and• we
quote a further slight improvement in the rates, Consols
being 98# to #. There have been some fair purchases, and
the heavy investments also feel the influence of the rally,
being better than they were yesterday afternoon. The Reduced
Three-and-a- Half per,Cents. have realised 1011 to 102 k, and
the New for Special Transfer 104 The Three per Cents. are
99 to *. Bank Stock is quiet at 1971. Exchequer Bills re-
alise 735. to 755. premium.
The Foreign market is also rather more active. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been steady at 23b to 23#, and the
Three per Cents. at 344 to and up to 35 for time. Mexi-
can are also rather dearer 34# to # for the Actives, and 14#
for the Deferred. Colombian are 124 to 13, Peruvian 24 to
27, and Brazilian New 79. Portuguese Converted Stock is
at 47. Belgian are supported at 104 to 1041, and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have risen to 614 and 62.
For Railway Shares the inquiry is not active; but full
rates are asked. Great Western are 46 ; Birmingham 119 to
120; and South-Western, Eights, 3i to 4 premium. Eastern
Counties are 11/ discount; and North Midland 6i discount.
Orleans and Bordeaux have improved to lb and 1 premium ;
and Paris and Orleans to 18# 4 premium.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 20.—We have
had a dull market to-dav, the transactions have been few,
and at lower prices :—London and Birmingham Quarters,
25%; Manchester and Birmingham, 561 a; Ditto Quarters,
34 premium ; South Eastern New, 10i ; Trent Valley, 7b ;
Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale, 4.

THE WELLINGTON AND NELSON
TESTIMONIALS.

The following are the letters which accompanied the Em-
peror of Russia's recent munificent contributions to the funds
for erecting the Wellington and Nelson Testimonials. Both
communications were written in the French laaguage by
Count Orloff, and respectively addressed to the Duke of Wel-
lington and the Duke of Rutland

(TRANSLATION.
" London, June 7, 1844.
"My Lord Duke,—His 31ajesty, desiring to contribute to
the
.erection of a monument which the national gratitude is
now raising to the glory of Admiral Nelson, has charged me
to= request your obliging intervention to add in bis name to
the subscription already open the sum of 500/.
" The Emperor has judged that to accomplish his pur-
pose he cannot do better than address himself to one whose
name is inseparable from the most glorious recollections of
England.

"Have the goodness to accept, my Lord Duke, the reite-
rated assurance of my highest consideration.
(Signed) " Count ORLOFF.
" To his Grace Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, &c."
Upon receipt of the above the Duke of Wellington imme-
diately acknowledged the same in a closely-written auto-
graph letter, occupying three sides of a sheet of Nyriting-
paper.

"London, June 7, 1844.
My Lord Duke,—The Emperor having learned that the
subscription opened for the erection of a monument to the
illustrious Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington is not yet
closed, hastens to charge me to announce to you that he is
desirous to associate himself with a work which is not only a
national honour rendered by England, but a debt of grati-
tude which ought to belong to the whole of Europe.
" Accordingly he has ordered me, my Lord Duke, zo trans-
mit to you the enclosed sum of 5001. 1 acquit myself of this
duty with the most lively satisfaction, and pray you to ac-
cept the assurance of my high consideration.
• (Signed) " Count ORLOFF.
" His Grace the Duke of Rutland, &c."

yesterday evening on a mission to the frontier of Morocco.
"M. d'Andre is appointed Secretary to the French embassy
at Turin. M. Joseph de Mareuil, Chargé d'Affaires ofFrance
at that Court, proceeds in the same quality to Buenos Ayres,
with the rank of First Sectetary of Embassy.
"The Commerce says :—' The fleet which the Government
is about to send to the coasts of Morocco will, we understand,
consist of three ships of the line, several frigates and
steamers. It also carries out 1,200 troops and a company of
engineers.'

"The Pluton steamer, with the. baggage of the Prince de
Juinville, left Havre on Monday for Toulon. She had pre-
viously taken on board an iron boat, which had been made fur
the Prince."
