MONEY AND COMMERCIALNEW S.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool had a dull appear-
ance on Saturday, but a fair business was done. Sales
5,000 bales, including 1,400 for export. The sales in
Railway Shares were as follows :—Birmingham and Glou-
cester, 106; Chester and Holyhead, 61; Eastern Coun-
ties, 1 ; Grand Junction, New Quarters, 39i; Lancas-
ter and Carlisle, 641 ; Liverpool and Manchester New,
341; London and Birmingham, 222; Ditto 32/. Shares,
37; North British, 3; Sheffield and Manchester, Quar-
ters, 13:1; South-Eastern, 372; Trent Valley 921 ; York
and North Midland, 37k; Paris and Lyons, 2/. 9s. 6d.
It will be perceived, from an advertisement in this
day's Sun, that the largest sale of foreign provisions yet
announced is to take place on the 4th proximo, and the
result of which will tend to test more accurately than has
hitherto been the case, the real operations of
the new tariff. It is • a monster sale, and
the great object of the importers is to force
a home consumption for American provision,
and to remove the prejudice which has hitherto ex-
isted. A new feature of offering the bulk offered, duty
paid, will afford the trade and public generally a better
idea of the nature of the provision to be put up to auc-
tion than has hitherto been the case ; in fact, the desire
on the other side to force sales of provisions generally
is so urgent, that the restrictive duty that still exists
will be met by the merchants by a corresponding reduc-
tion in the price on this side—hence the first essay by
the sale in question.
By the arrival of the London line-of-packet ship
Prince Albert, and the Liverpool packet Europe, frim
New York, papers of the Ist inst. have been received,
but they are only one day later than the former accounts,
and do not contain any news of importance. Stocks
were better. There was very little alteration in quota-
tions, but that little show an improvement. No alteration
in the rate of exchange is quoted, and not much doing.
There is very little going forward in Cotton in New York,
or any of the Southern markets. • The last crop has
nearly all been received and disposed of, but "Jonathan"
complains most bitterly that in the exports a large in-
crease has occurred, while the cash receipts have dimi-
nished.
The Consol Market opened with firmness this morning,
the price for the Account being 99, for Money the same.
Now the quotations are 2 per cent. lower. The Un-
funded Debt is in demand at 755. premium. Bank Stock
is at 1992; South Sea Stock at 1141; and the New
Three -and-a-Half per Cents. have receded to 101,-}, after
having touched 104. The Government brokers bought
Consols at 99.
In Spanish Stock not a single bargain has been
quoted to-day. The French Three per Cents. have
been done at 80. The Dutch Bonds have varied but a
shade. Old Portuguese are at 801, and the Converted
Bonds has improved to 44-1 ; Deterred Chilian were at
52 ; and Mexican at 35- Z.
The fluctuations in the Railway Shares have been
very constant, but with slight changes in value. The
Great Western, and the Birmingham and Gloucester,
have improved. In most of the others prices have re-
ceded. The Provincial Bank of Ireland have
realised 19:1 premium, and Union of London, 2 prem.

REPORTED MURDER AT RICHMOND.--•.This matter
has been much exaggerated ; so far from Mrs. New being
dead, she was not at that time even in imminent danger.
It appears that, on the afternoon of Thursday last, about
five o'clock, William New went home much excited by
liquor, and commenced quarrelling with his wife, who is
now far advanced in pregnancy. In a fit of passion he
struck tier a blow in her left side with some sharp instru-
ment, inflicting a deep wound, about an inch long. The
screams of Mrs. New brought in some of her neighbours,
upon which her husband effected his escape. Mr. Lomas,
a surgeon, of Richmond, was sent for, who examined the
wound, and pronounced it to be a flesh-wound, and not
dangerous.
Lady Fox and family, and Baron Nabuiz, were
among the passengers that landed at Blackwall Pier yes-
terday morning, from the General Steam Navigation
Company's mail packet Columbine, that left Rotterdam
the previous day. The Columbine brought the Dutch
mail.

Sir Robert Peel left his residence in Whitehall-
gardens on Saturday evening, for his seat, Drayton
Manor, Staffordshire.
