MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Sales to a moderate extent were effected in Cotton at
Liverpool on Saturday, and there was a steady feeling.
4,000 bales changed hands at previous rates. On the
whole business was rather heavier in Shares, but
Birmingham were in demand, and French were in
rather better request. Birmingham and Gloucester, 112;
Dublin and Cashel, 68 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, Quarter,

There are no arrivals today.
The Funds have opened to-day rather flatly, and in
the absence of any activity. The wet weather, of which
a continuance might damage the condition of the crops,
is assigned as the cause of the heaviness ; but, at the
same time, the Otaheite business is another. Consols for
Transfer have been 984 to 995, and forTinao -99 to 4,
there having been one or two bona fide sales of Stock.
The Commissioners have taken 10,0001. at 99f. Bank

The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. hive been worth
1014 to 1014, and the Reduced to 1024 1024. The
Three per Cents. have been 994 to 994.
A quiet business has been done in a few of the Foreign
Bonds at about Saturday's quotations. The advices from
Madrid are of rather a more satisfactory character in re-
spect to the bank of San Fernando continuing its
advances, but there is no change in prices. The

614 to 4.
There has been very little doing in Railway Shares,
but the quotations generally are about the same, being
supported.

Harbour Regatta was continued yesterday, in defiance
of thunder, wind, and heavy rain, which occurred fre-
quently during the day. The sailing matches were ad-
mirably contested, and the sailing-boats managed in very
superior style, especially the wherries. The,Rear-Ad-
miral Superintendent kindly allowed the Portsmouth and
Fanny tenders, and the Echo steamer, decorated with
flags, to he moored near the starting vessel, for the ac-
commodation of the public. The regimental bands were
in attendance, but owing to the unsettled state of the
weather the spectators were not so numerous as hereto-
fore, though the prizes:and matches were admirably
arranged by the steward, Mr. Vandenbourg.
We regret to learn, from accounts received in town
on Saturday, that Lord Keane is suffering from severe
indisposition, at his Lordship's residence in Hants.

ing on board the General Steam Navigation Company's

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-AIONDAY.
During the past week the arrivals of English Wheat
were on a very limited scale, but those of most other
kinds of grain were seasonably extensive, and of very
superior quality. Fresh up we received about 200
quarters of new Wheat, chiefly from Essex and Kent.
Of old English Wheat, the supply was very small. The
demand was certainly active, but not to the extent
expected, and prices advanced upon those obtained
on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter,
at which a good clearance was effected. The
quantity of Foreign Wheat on offer was good,
while the sale for it was steady, at en advance of is per
quarter. No English Barley at market ; but of Foreign
the quantity was rather extensive. There was more
doing in grinding sorts, the value of which was a trifle
dearer ; but malting and distilling parcels were heavy.
In Malt very little was doing, at late rates. The quan-
tity of fresh Oats was not very extensive, while the de-
mand was steady, at full prices. Beans, Peas, and
Flour ruled about stationary. The seed market was dull,
but we have no material alteration to notice in value.

Although the supply of Beasts on offer was less than
that exhibited on this day se'nnight, it proved tolerably
good for the time of year, both as regards number and
quality. The attendance of both town and country
buyers being numerous, a decided improvement was
noticed in the Beef trade, and an advance of quite 2d per
81b was readily paid for all descriptions. In some in-
stances the primest Scots were disposed of at 4s 2d per 81b,
but the more general quotation did not exceed 4s per 81b.
A falling off was observed in the number of Sheep, yet
they were quite equal to meet the wants of the trade.
The Mutton trade was firm, and last week's quotations
were steadily supported, the best old Downs producing
4s per 8 lbs. Lambs, the supply of which was good,
commanded a steady inquiry, at full prices. The demand
for real was rather active, yet no further improvement
can be noticed in prices. In Pigs very little was doing,
and the rates remained about stationary.

BOROUGH AND SPITA.LPIELDS.
As yet our supplies of new Potatoes, which are abun-
dant, are derived from the neighbourhood of the metro-
polis. The best kinds are selling steadily at from 5/ to
6/ ; other qualities 41 to 41 18s per ton.
BOROUGH BOP MARKET.
The accounts from all quarters, except those from
East Kent,- continue unfavourable. The late gales,
together with the appearance of 'moulds have much
deteriorated the bine, owing to which thd duty has fallen
—it being now estimated at only from 130,0001. to
135,000/. Some large sales have been made in Wealds
and Sussex, on higher terms.
WOOL MARKET.
The public sales of Wool have at length been brought
to a close. Notwithstanding the large quantities brought
forward, nearly the whole have found buyers, at prices
quite equal to those obtained at the previous auctions.
By private contract we have still to report a fair inquiry
at full quotations. During the week the imports have
amounted to about 2,600 packages.
TALLOW MARKET.
The deliveries fall off, principally from the apathy
shown by the trade ; they appear determined not to
purchase until their wants absolutely require it In the
meantime the holders here and the Russians seem in-
clined to look on. The shipments from St. Petersburgh
to the United Kingdom bear a ♦ery small proportion to
former years. Town Tallow 40s 6d nett cash.

HAMBURGH MAIL.
OFFICIAL.

BERLIN, Auc. 9.—"1 cannot quit the soil of my coun-
try, though only for a short time, without publicly ex-
pressing in my own name and that of the Queen the
deeply felt gratitude which fills our hearts ; it is excited
by the innumerable proofs of affection to us, both verbal
and in writing, which we have received, and were called
forth by the attempt of the 26th of July ; that affection
which loudly greeted us at the instant of the crime,
when the hand of the Almighty averted the deadly shot
from my breast. Looking up to my heavenly Preserver,
I proceed with fresh courage to my daily work, to com-
plete what is begun, to carry into execution what is pre-
pared, to combat evil with increased certainty of victory,
and to be to my people everything that my high vocation
lays upon me as a duty, and which the love of my people
deserves.

(Signed) " FREDERICK WILLIAM.
"Erdmansdorff, Aug. 5, 1844."
Accounts from Erdmansdorff of the sth say that their
Majesties the King and Queen were perfectly well, and
intended to sot out on the 6th, in the morning, for
Ishel. The Queen will remain there for some time, but
the King, after stopping only one day, intends going to
Vienna, and to be back at Erdmansdorff on the 17th of
this month.

QUEEN-SQUARE.—(THIS DAY.)
A respectably-dressed young man was placed at .the
bar before Mr. Burrell on the following charge:-..
Sergeant Parkinson, of the Honourable East India
Company's service, said the defendant enlisted into one
of the artillery regiments of the East India Company on
Friday last, aid the whole of the routine business in
respect to recruits was gone through, and he was
brought to that office on Saturday to have
the oath of allegiance administered to him.
Whilst the Magistrate was affixing his name to the docu-
ments, and the usher of the Court had read the oath to
him, he suddenly threw down the book, and refused to
be swore. The Sergeant further said the man was an
attested recruit, and that, according to the Act of Parlia-
ment relating to the enlisting of recruits, he was a
bona fide soldier.
_ _

MI:. BURRELL differed in opinion. The Act gave
magistrates the power of discharging persons who had
hastily enlisted, if they had not taken the oath of alle-
giance, and made application to him to be released from
the obligations into which they had entered within four
days from the date of their enlisting. Was the young
man willing to pay the usual smart money?
The young man said he was willing to pay it.
Sergeant Parkinson begged to call the Magistrate's
attention to that portion of the Act which said, "that
if he (the recruit) will not take the oath of allegiance,
he is to be detained until he will do so."
Mr. BURRELL said that rested with those under whom
the sergeant acted. He could not detain him. Ho was
willing to give the subject mature consideration, and to
hear the question, with any new arguments in support
of the view taken of it by the sergeant, or by his supe-
rior officer, at a future day.
The parties then left the Court.

COLONEL DENDAS.—It may be remembered that
some months since Colonel Dundas, whilst at the dinner
table of a Noble Lord, and no doubt somewhat heated
with wine, was guilty of uttering some very disrespectful
observations of her Majesty the Queen, and for which
he was dismissed the service. We are happy to be able
to record the pleasing fact—pleasing alike as showing
that the momentary indiscretion of the offender has not
been visited too harshly, and pleasing as exhibiting a
most gracious and forgiving temper on the part of her
Majesty even.when personally insulted—we are happy,
we say, to reciV the fact of Colonel Dundas's restoration
to active servige, and we trust he will prove that the
lenity shown him has not been misplaced.—Humpslsire
paper.

THE CAMERONIANS.---The arms, accoutrements,
&c., of this distinguished corps were inspected on Wed-
nesday by Major-General Sir Neil Douglas, K.C.8.,
commander of the fore(' in Scotland. It was intended
to have paraded the regiment in Bruntsficld Links for
this purpose, but in consequence of the boisterous state
of the weather in the morning, the inspection took place
within the Castle. The weather having cleared betwixt
twelve and ons o'clock, numerous parties proceeded to
the Links, but were disappointed.—Scotsman.
A new corvette has been ordered to be built at
Chatham, upon the plan of the Earl of Dundonald, to
be called the Challenger. Length 134 feet, breadth 37
feet 6 inches, depth 17 feet 6 inches, tonnage 810 tons.
Below the water line she is to resemble the Janus war
steamer (also built upon the plan of Lord Dundonald),
that is, both ends perpendicular and alike. This is to
try the effect upon a sailing-vessel, as well as upon
steam. The Janus has not yet been tried.—United
Service Gazette. _

guest. to
A review, upon a grand and imposing scale, during to
King's short visit at Windsor (which is not expect7o4
be prolonged beyond a week or ten days), to take P'o4
oi
in the Great Park, has already been spoken of. It' v
°
rumoured that several infantry regiments will be 010111
in the Park, and that not less than from 15 to 20 es/AA
and infantry regiments, with a park of artillery sotto;
batteries, will be present at this intended magnu'"'d
military spectacle. Splendid banquets will take plitc'ei
St. George' Hall and the Weterloo Chamber, to be folloS
OP
by state balls and grand evening parties. Prepars„tio
have already been commenced at the Roman Getu"o.
chapel, at Clewer, about a mile from Windsor, for thesr
commodation of his Majesty and suite. It was at fillS.,
ranged for pews to be constructed for the King and said.
but it is now, we understand, contemplated to no
wing to the edifice, open to one side of the interior 0' .g,
Chapel, and to be appropriated, exclusively, for the i'll,
commodation of his Majesty and attendants. This rot
will be carried into effect in the event of there bath.
sufficient time to complete it before the arrival of
royal visitor to the Queen.
f tii°
There is very little doubt that the christening 0- oil
Infant Prince will take place during his Majesty's ' d
at Windsor. Indeed, it has been stated that the Nil if,
the French will be one of the sponsors (it is suplinsce pi
so, by proxy, his Majesty being a Roman Catholic) ij
the last born Prince of the House of Brunswick. °lii
not expected that his Majesty will visit the metroro
during his short stay in England, but remain the 0o
time at the royal residence at Windsor.
