MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet
without alteration in prices. The sales were estimated
at 5,000 bales, consisting of 4,000 American, 600 Pcr-
nam and Maranharn at 6id. to 7d„ 100 Bahia at 54d. to
71, and 600 Surat at 4,id. to sjd. per lb.—Railway
Shares were dull at previous quotations.
The sales of produce declared for the current week are
to a moderate extent, and the Indigo auctions com-
menced this morning. The colonial wool sales begin on
Thursday.
Accounts of the 9th inst. from Frankfort quote
Austrian Metallics at 8370 and Spanish Three per Cents.
at 29k, the intelligence of the Greek difficulty having
had an unfavourable influence. At Vienna, on the 6th
inst., Austrian Bonds were 94 13-10, and at Berlin, on
the 9th, the Three•and-a•Half per Cent., Prussian Stock,
was 881, . The Amsterdam prices on the 10th ins►.,
were 784- for Peruvian, and 29i a for Spanish Three
per Cents.
It is mentioned in accounts from Germany, that
the Emperor of Russia, tearing of the pending
stoppage of Mr. S., a banker at Warsaw, who has
rendered great assistance to the manufacturing enter-
prise of Poland, has ordered assistance to be afforded
from the public treasury to the extent required, viz.,
several millions of florins. The Emperor, we are
further told, has pardoned the banker's son,
who had been banished for revolutionary
intrigues ; and this latter act of grace being
accorded, because Mr. S. constructed the first line
of rails from Warsaw to Cracow, which so much facili-
tated the advance of the Russian army into Hungary.
Information continues to reach usl of the great
damage done by the high winds that have
prevailed for some days past, and the losses at
sea have occasioned much activity among the under-
writers at Lloyd a. In some cases where ships have
not been heard of, and there is great apprehension
concerning their safety, 50 per cent. or more has been
paid, and in a special case 70 per cent., the latest in-
formation, however, justifying this apparently excessive
charge, since the vessel is said to have been lost.
The English Stock Market is still tolerably well main-
tained, but the Account to be wound up on Thursday al-
most entirely governs it. The explanations of Lord
Lansdowne concerning French mediation in the Greek
affair should be satifactory,but it is pretended that the ter-
ritorial question will involve unpleasant controversy with
Russia. Money is a little dearer in Lombard-street,
and the approach of pay-day for the next instalment on
the 'Russian Loan, together with the English
and Foreign Stock Accounts, both ending on the
same day, will, probably, account for this.
It is asserted also that investments on English
account aro being made in the French Rentes, and
hence the steady rise in them during the last few weeks
at a period when our own Funds have been declining.
This version of the matter may or may not be correct,
and is possibly in part a device of the Parisian
speculators to keep up a buoyant tone and support
their operations for a rise, large as they
are understood to have been lately, but we cannot help
remarking that British Securities, notwithstanding the
difference in the market values, as compared with those
of the Republic, are far preferable. Consols have ruled
at 95i to 95; for Transfer, and at 95i-i for Thursday,
the "continuation" to March being about 3-16 per cent.
Bank Stock has been 2051 to 206. Exchequer-bills are
555. to 585., and India Bonds, 86s. to 88s. premium. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted
98 to 981. Consols now are 95i
In:the Foreign Market, South American Stocks have
been ♦ariable. Buenos Ayres are 3to 4 per cent. lower
than last week, being 59 to 59k, and Eqnador have dropped
to 4 and 3i, owing to the information given at yester-
day's meeting of the bondholders by Mr. W. P. Robert-
son, who describes the country as being exceedingly
poor, and quite unable to pay the full inte-
rest upon the Two-and-a-Half per Cent. of the
Columbian debt which was assigned to it. Mr.
Robertson, however, as the Consul-General of the
Republic, has a distinct part to play, and the Committee
of Spanish American Bondholders may fairly take an
independent course, and leave nothing to that gentleman
but the communication of their demands. Our own
impression, especially seeing an extract in an Equa-
dor paper, is that Mr. Robertson is very anxious
to do the best for his employers, and make out
their plight as bad as he can. Peruvian have been well
supported at 7 911 to 80i, although coming lower from
Holland. Mexican have been firm, and done at 29/.
The Russian Loan has declined to l R and 11 premium.
Spanish Three per Cents. are dull at 37/, and Portu-
guese Four per Cents. at 35 ex dividend.
Railway Shares have been all depressed by the reaction
in North-Western, the dividend causing some disap-
pointment. The fall in Birmingham is 1 to 3, in Great
Western about Ito 2, and in North Stafford I. The
Midland, York and North Midland, Brighton, and East-
ern Counties, are firm. Bank and Mining Shares con-
tinue to attract.

MaaLow.---The funeral of the late Countess of
Plymouth took place on Thursday last at Bisham, and
though the ceremony was strictly private, in compliance
with the deceased lady's request, every possible mark of
respect was shown by the inhabitants of that village to
the remains of one whose loss they have so much reason
to lament. Lady Plymouth was the eldest daughter of
Thomas Copson, Esq., of Sheppey, was born on the 21st
of August, 1774; married the 12th July, 1793, Henry,
eighth and last Earl of Plymouth; died 30th January,
1850.—Reading Mercury.
M. KONTSKI.—This celebrated violinist has made
his appearance at the Italian Theatre in Paris with
great eclat. Many of the most distinguished musical
celebrities attended to sit in judgment, and by the
warmth of their applause confirmed the title of this ac-
complished artiste to be called the favourite pupil of
rogonizai.
