MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a steady demand for Cotton in the Liverpool
market yesterday, at previous rates, but the market had rather
a dull aspect. Speculators took 2,000 bales, and altogether
8,000 bales were sold.—There was an improved demand for
Railway Shares. Eastern Counties were 103%; Grand Junc-
tion, Halves, 116 i ; Birmingham, 2401/2 ; Ditto, New Thirds,
42 ; Brighton, 44 ; North Midland, Thirds, 301/2 ; Paris and
Rouen, 321/2 ; Paris and Lyons, 21. Ws. 3d. ; Paris and Or-
leans, 335.
The condition of the Cotton market in the United States is
a matter of much interest on this side of the water. We have
received a table showing the value of the export of this staple
for about ten years ; and it appears that the lowest estimate in
the period stated was that of 1842 and 1843.
" The table exhibits a great regularity in the consumption
in bales at home, and in the exports to Europe, but the in-
crease of actual quantity does not appear visible. The con-
tinual increase in the size of the bales, from year to year,
shows the additional number of pounds consumed. For only
two years has the yield of cotton exceeded two millions of bales,
in 1839-40, and in 1842-3. The past season has, without
any very important exception, been very unfavourable in all
parts of the country for a great crop; it has not been
propitious enough to produce an average yield. The season
opened very late and closed very early, and the harvesting has
been attended with many unfavourable circumstances. In
several sections continual rains prevented the gathering of what
little the previous weather suffered to mature. In some dis-
tricts a fair average quantity was raised, but si e have not heard
of a single section where the crop was over abundant. The
season that produced 2,378,875 bales of cotton in this country
was early and late, and without a solitary unfavourable event
to injure the plant from first to last. It was one of those for-
tunate seasons, as regards length and quality of weather, that
seldom occur in any country, and which must again be expe-
-1 rienced in this before we can raise a like quantity of produce.
" There is very little cotton going forward from any port of
this country. Prices in Liverpool, from last accounts, ranged
considerably lower than the quotations that rule in any market
on this side."
Some private letters received from Athens by merchants
in the City, represent that plots were in embryo to bring
about the ancient order of misrule. King Otho has been
soured in temper by the late movements, and would, if he
dared, have vengeance against the plotters of the recent peace-
able revolt.
There are not colonial arrivals in the City to-day. The
foreign arrivals possess but little interest. In fact, public
attention is almost exclusively directed to the State trials in
Dublin.
A firm market has ruled for Consols to-day. The Commis-
sioners bought about 20,0001., partly on account of the Savings'
Banks, and partly for the redemption of debt. For Money
Stock, and for time bargains as well, the price has been 97.
Bank Stock continues to advance-191 has been obtained to-
day, a rise within a month of full 8 per cent. The
opinion is becoming very general, that the terms
upon which the Government intends to renew the
Bank Charter are all but arranged. India Stock too,
has been on the rise. From 273 the price has been en-
hanced to 275. The New Three- and-a-Half per Cents. have
been quoted at 102, and the Reduced Stock, bearing the same
interest, at 102 a The premium upon Exchequer Bills has
fallen to 655., and India Bonds are heavy at a reduction to 795.
premium.
The Northern Bonds still command a ready sale. For
Austrian 113' have been paid to-day, and for Danish
Three per Cents., 87. The Portuguese Converted have risen
from 45i to 454. Spanish Actives wore wt.rth 22i 8; and
the Three per Cents. 305. For Dutch Bonds rather ad-
vanced prices have been paid to-day. Mexican Bonds have
advanced a trifle, the present price is 32%.
London and Birmingham Railway Quarter Shares have ad-
vanced to 27A prem. ; Manchester and Leeds to 32 prem. ; and
most of the Shares of the principal lines have rallied. Austra-
lian Bank are at 5i to 6 premium ; and Provincial Bank o
Ireland at 16 premium ex-dividend.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Scarcely any English Wheat has come fresh to hand here,
since Monday ; hence it is rather difficult to ascertain its real
value. Still, we may observe that for the few samples on show,
the demand was active, at prices fully equal to those obtained
on that day. Foreign Wheat was in active inquiry, and the
rates had an upward tendency. Barley was in a sluggish state,
and anything below the first malting quality was difficult to sell.
Upwards of 3,000 quarters of Foreign having come to hand,
the trade was thus depressed. The sale for Malt was extremely
inactive, most of the larger brewers refusing to purchase ex-
cept at reduced rates. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour unaltered.

SIVIITHPIELD.
Notwithstanding our market exhibited a very limited number
of beasts, the principal portion of which was turned out unsold
on Monday, the beef trade was in a very dull state, and in some
instances the prices had a downward tendency. The supply of
sheep was small, even for the time of year. Prime old Downs
maintained their value, but the long wools might have been
purchased at easier terms. The Veal trade was animated at
an advance on previous rates of suite 4d per 81bs. In Pigs a
good business was doing at full prices. Milch Cows moved eff
slowly at from 161 to 191 105 each, including their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Although the amount of business doing in Hops this week
has not been very extensive, the prices are firmly supported in
every instance.

COLONIAL.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has ruled
without activity ; but for the small quantity sold extreme
prices have been obtained. The transactions cnly amount to
about 1,100 casks, inclusive of 100 casks Barbadoes, and 245
casks 173 barrels St. Lucia offered by auction, all of which
found buyers, the former at 6fts 6d to 68s 6d for mid to fine
yellow, and the latter at 56s to 65s 6d for good brown to fine
Freyish yellow, being for the Barbadoes rather dearer, but the
inferior sorts of St. Lucia (of which the parcels chiefly con-
sisted) went off heavily.
MonAsses.—Only about 150 puns, consisting chiefly of St.
Vincent's at 255, and Antigua, sold at 26s dd to 275, which are
fully previous prices.
MAURITIUS.—A limited business has been done privately,
but for the parcels sold former prices have been obtained.
BENGAL. —590 bags, chiefly white, sold readily at 67s to
695, a few bags at 725, for good to fine new Benares, and Cey-
lon good brown 48s to 52s 6d. There has been some inquiry,
privately, for the better sorts of white, but, owing to the very
few parcels offering, only a limited business has been done.
REFINED.—Grocery descriptions, particularly the lower
sorts, must be quoted again fully 6d to Is dearer. In Crushed
few transactions have taken place, there being no purchasers to
any extent unless at lower prices.
COFFEE.—In British Plantation a limited business has been
done at about the previous value. Only 1,176 bags 65 boxes
Ceylon, 165 bales Mocha, and 152 bags Costa Rica have been
brought to auction, nearly all of which found buyers excepting
the latter, which was taken in at 54s to 57s for fine ord pale to
fine fine ord colory, being rather under the previous prices.
The Ceylon and Mocha sold, the former at 71s to 96s 6d for
mid colory Plantation kind, 63s to 63s 6d for very good ord
quality, being for the latter an advance of fully Is, and for
the former prices that were not previously obtainable. The
Mocha brought 66s to 68s 6d for mid to good mid clean gar-
bled, which is a decline of 2s to 3s. There has been very little
business done privately in any description, excepting in Ceylon
which has been rather more inquired for (chiefly on specula-
tion), and the parcels sold which amount to about 3,000 bags,
have brought 62s to 63s 6d. The only business which bas
taken place in foreign sorts worth reporting consists chiefly of
500 bags common mixed good ord to very good ord coloury Rio,
which have been disposed of at 26s 6d to 295, being about the
previous value.
COCOA—The public sales have only offered 233 bags Gre-
nada, which were chiefly taken in at 42s to 46s for mid greyish
toood red, being about former prices.
Rust.—The business in this article is confined to about 150
puns Jamaica at 2s 9d to 3s 2d for 31s to 35s per cent. everproof.
RICE.—There has been a fair business done at previous prices.
SALTPETRE.-437 bags Madras sold at 26s 6d for 33 per

The applications to Parliament in the next session for Railway

These applications relate to lines extending six hundred miles in

are passed, and many of such contracts have been entered into for
the formation of railways, at an expense, including stations, of
10,000/. per mile.

deed, equally applicable at two this morning. The Stewards, with
excellent tact, met everything like inconvenience arising from such

and of ready access, as, indeed, is always the case at the London
Tavern."

SPICES.—There has been rather more inquiry for Pepper,
chiefly Malabar. of which description some small parcels have
been sold at an advance of fully id. Pimento is still inquiring
for; good quality has been sold at 3d, which is id dearer.
3,394 boxes Cassia Lignea were offered in public sale, all of
which found ready buyers at 53s to 66s 6d ; fair ord coarse to
good quality being generally about previous prices.
COTTON.—There was an extensive demand in the early
part of the week for this article, and a large business was done
at higher prices, establishing an advance of fully Ad since our

scarcely any transactions have taken place for the last two days.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is steady at 41s 3d per cwt on the spot.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.)
Two paupers, named Thomas Eady and John Cooper, were
brought up, charged with refusing to work at the workhouse of the
Strandß uOmol:-STRE AT.—(
Mr. . Corder, one of the relieving officers,
said they had been
compelled to bring the prisoners to this Court, as there had been
several most determined attempts at insubordination in the work-
house. The prisoner Cooper had only been out of prison for
about five days, after having suffered three months' imprisonment
toi assaulting one of the officers of the establishment. Last night
both prisoners declared they would not work any longer, and it was
at last found necessary to give them into custody.
The prisoners in their defence entered into a long 'statement
against the diet of the workhouse, saying that they very much
preferred the prison diet to that of the workhouse. They stated
that their shirts and stockings were not changed for five and six
weeks together ; and such was the filthy state in which many of the
inmates were, that the vermin could be seen to crawl over them.
Mr. JAaniNz said he himself knew this to be false, and he did
not believe the other statement. . . .

----.- ...- -...... --......-....
Mr. Corder said nothing could be more untrue. He only wished
the magistrate would some day go unexpectedly over the house.
Mr. JARDINE said he had been, and he was perfectly satisfied
with the arrangements. He should convict the prisoners, and
sentence them to 21 days' imprisonment.
Cooper—Oh, make it three months.

MR. TEMPLETON'S MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.—
Mr. Templeton repeated his popular entertainment of " Mary,
Queen of Scots," at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, last evening,
before a numerous and delighted auditory. He was in excellent
voice, and not only sang, but acted admirably. His manner of
giving the history of Mary's escape from Lochleven was graphic
in the extreme, and when he concluded with the spirited
song, " Put off, put off, and row with speed," the en.
thusiasm of the audience was excited to the highest pitch.
He was of course rapturously encored. In marked con.
trast with this spirit-stirring song is the melancholy finale
" Where shall I rest." Many of the audience were affected even
to tears, by the pathetic and expressive tenderness with which
Templeton gave this exquisite air. He was equally delightful in
"Farewell to thee thou pleasant shore," while in "The Jolly
Beggar " he exhibited buffo powers for their possession of which
we had not before given hire credit. All present seemed highly
delighted with the evening's entertainment. We perceive by the
programme, that on the 25th of this month, the anniversary of the
birth of Scotland's greatest poet, Mr. Templeton will commemo-
rate the day by producing his new entertainment " 7he Beauties
of Burns."
BRUSSELS, JAN. I7.—The great pond of St. Josse-
lin-Noode was yesterday covered with skaters and sledges. It was
a very gay and animated scene, but in the midst of the general en.
joyment a fatal accident occurred. A young man, who seemed to
be unused to skating, fell with great violence, never to riselagain;
he had struck his right temple, and though every means to revive
him was instantly employed, it was all in vain, death must have
been instantaneous.
LOST DOGS.—The following extract of a letter of
Dr. Forster, Foreign Honorary Secretary to the Animals' Friend
Society, to L. Gompertz, Esq., Honorary Secretary, will, we hope,
be found serviceable to persons who value their dogs:—" The po.
lice of Belgium have long been devising plans to obviate the fol.
lowing made of theft. There is dog market held every Sunday in
all the great towns. At Creete market all the English sportsmen
and others who fancy dogs attend, and it has been discovered that
most of the valuable dogs sold here and in Holland are brought
from England in different vessels and packets, and are disguised,
shorn, &c., and sold here at high prices, particularly a small breed
of spaniels. On a fine Sunday, after church, at Brussels, you
may see thirty or more English gentlemen and ladies purchasing
these curs. Now it may be as well for the police in London to
know this, that they may watch what goes on board the vessels,
since there is almost a general complaint of losing valuable dogs in
London at present."
At the last weekly meeting of the National Asso-
ciation, the following resolution was unanimonsly agreed to :
Resolved—That the conduct of the Ministerial officials in Ireland,
in striking off the Irish Catholics from the jury list, is a flagrant
act of injustice ; and, in the opinion of this meeting ought to be
resented by all those who are not in favour of A State Church and
irrespoasiblt Mirsaotf r/.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
CHARGE OF STADRING.—John G(lford, the proprietor of a house
of ill-fame in Vine-yard, Tooley.street, was charged with stabbing
Henry Howard with a long cavalry-sword, and wounding him in
the breast.
It appeared that between one and two o'clock that morning, as
policeman, 59 M, was on duty in Vine-yard, a man came running
to him and said that he had been stabbed by a man in a house,
pointing at the same time to the prisoner's residence. The wounded
time was lost in conveying him to Guy
man was bleeding profusely from a wound in the breast, and no
's Hospital, from the surgeon
of which the following certificate was produced :—" This is to
certify, that Henry Howard is not in a fit state to be removed.—
Signed, T. Pearce."—The policeman went on to state, that after
the wounded man was taken to the hospital he returned to Vine-
yard, and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, however,
denied that he had any altercation with Howard, but a female,
who was with the latter, stated that she was present during the
affray, and that she saw the prisoner strike Howard with the
sword during the affray that occurred, during which Howard took
up the poker to defend himself:
Mr. TRAILL remanded theprisoner until the wounded man is in a
condition to appear.

FlRE.—Yesterday, at a few minutes to twelve
o'clock the upper part of the house No. 84, Lambeth.street, next
door to the
houses from the Police-court, was discovered to be on fire. The
Flying Horse Tavern, and not more than twenty
house was occupied by Messrs. Clarke and Denyer, feather !mer-
chants, and the fire is supposed to have been occasioned by the
overheating of the furnace at the top or attic used for the purpose
of baking the feathers, and burned for some time with such
violence, that the safety of the houses on either side was considered
doubtful. By the prompt attendance of the engines, and the ex-
ertions of the firemen, the flames were confined to the upper
story and rocf, which were destroyed. The damage done to

SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.--The answer to
yesterday at Sir Francis's mansion, in St. James's.place, was, that
the venerable Baronet continued indisposed with a severe cold,
which, it is expected, will prevent him from attending the obse-
quies of his deceased lady, whose remains will be removed to-mor-
row for interment from town to the family mausoleum, at Rains.

SERIOUS OUTRAGE.—Yesterday, at noon, several
coal-backers in the employment of Mr. William Convett Wright, a
coal-merchant, of Ratela, entered the Thames Police Court under
the protection of police-constables of the K division, for the purpose
of obtaining warrants against a number of the same fraternity, who
had committed a most unprovoked outrage upon them. The appli.
cants exhibited the marks of recent injuries. One man's cheek was
cut open, and the blood was streaming down his face ; another had
blackened eyes; a third was crippled from violent kicks he had re-
ceived ; and the others were bruised, their clothes torn, and their
faces marked. Six of them were sworn, and it appeared from their
statements that, about an hour previous they were employed on their
master's wharf, when a sudden attack was made upon them by fif-
teen coal•backers recently in the service of Mr. Wright, who drove
them into the lobby, beat them in a most savage manner, and tried
to force several of them into the river. An attempt was then made
to close the doors of the lobby, for the purpose of hemming
ing in the applicants, and preventing the escape of any one, whiar
would have enabled the assailants to carry their apparently mur-
derous intentions into effect. A desperate fight ensued, and the party
attacked defended themselves in the best way they could, but were
overpowered by numbers, and the most serious consequences would
have taken place if Police.sergcant Pitt, No. 40, and Rooke, a con.
stable, N 0.245, of the K division, had not opportunely arrived. The
fellows, on seeing the police, fled from the place, leaving their vic-
tims on the ground, some bleeding profusely, and others in a state of
exhaustion. The rioters soon rallied, and threatened to pull the
wharf down, and to sacrifice the lives of their fellow workmen, when
a strong force of police from the Shadwell station-house came to the
spot and intimidated them. No more violence was attempted, but
the rioters, who were joined by many idle blackguards in the neigh-
bourhood, continued groaning and hissing for some time. Mr. Bal-
lantine issued warrants for the apprehension of nine men, named
John Simm3ns, Thomas Trotter, William Moriarty, Coffee Joe,
Thomas Swaine, Moey, Henry Bridgman, Thomas Nightingale, and
James Harris, the principals in the afilray. The worthy Magistrate
said, if there was any more rioting going on the warrants weTe to be
immediate] ex•. cured. The rioters heard what was doing and kept
out of the way, and the police were stationed at the wharf to prevent
any further breach of the peace. The men attacked had been con-
tinued in Mr. Wright's employ because they were the best and most
steady hands, and the services of the others had been dispensed with
