In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday; the sales
were 4,003 bales, the holders being still inclined to press sales.
Prices were as before. The sales included 1,000 bales La
Guayra, at 41 to 4g.—ln Shares there was a better feeling,
and business to some extent was done in French, Dover, and
Great Western. Birmingham and Gloucester Quarter, 221 ;

There are again only Continental arrivals.
The accounts from the provinces with respect to the wea-
ther begin to excite much interest and some anxiety, and
although the Baltic Grain Markets are reported in to-day's
advices as being rather dull, there can be no question but
that we shall have, under any circumstances, an opening for
a fair quantity of foreign grain. The drought has already
.had the injurious effect of raising materially the price of
fodder, and it is fortunate that our manufacturing popula-
tion is comparatively well employed, and therefore can, in
some measure, meet an increased outlay for food.
We learn from Belgium that Messrs. Anderson and Sop •
with, as a deputation from several capitalists, had a private
interview last week with King Leopold relative to their pro-
posal for constructing a railroad from Entre-Sambe and
Meuse. It is stated also in the Lloyd Cettois that the
heads of a leading firm there have suddenly disappeared,
leaving a reported deficit to the extent of from 300,000 f. to
403,003 f.

The English securities open firmly to-day, and there is a
fair business doing. The visit of the Emperor of Russia and
of the King of Saxony is looked upon as favourable to the
general peace of Europe, although reported to be unpleasant
to France ; but some curiosity has been expressed to learn
whether it be true that one of, her Majesty's vesseli has re-
ceived orders to proceed immediately across the Channel for
Louis Philippe, and whether-we are to have the novel meet-
ing of his Majesty with the Emperor. The statement is not
credited. Consols are 99i to 99i for Transfer to-morrow, and
99i to 998 for the Account, being Saturday's best prices.
Exchequer Bills are 70s. to 725. premium, and East India
Bonds remain nominally at 925. The New Three-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been 1021 to 1028 ; the Reduced 1018 to 102.
The Three per Cents. 988 to 99. Bank Stock has been at 199
to 1994, and India Stock at 288.

Spanish Bonds opened rather lower to-day, the accounts
from Madrid relative to the Queen's health, and the state of
the finances, however contradictory, being calculated to ex-
cite uneasiness. There is still an inclination to sell, and the
Five per Cents. are 23i to and the Three per Cents. 34
to The Passive are 5i to Portuguese Converted Bonds
have been marked 464, being steady. Mexican are firm at
35k, but dull. Chilian have been 1034, and Brazilian New
78. Belgian Five per Cents. are 1031 ; Danish, 88 to 89 ;
Russian, 117 i ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 61k.
There is rather a dull market for the Railway Shares, but
prices are rather higher than on-Saturday, for Great Western,
Birmingham, Brighton, and South-Eastern. The French
lines are very firm.

DR. WOLFF'S MISSION TO
BOKHARA.

The following extract from a letter addressed by
Colonel Williams, R.A., her Majesty's Commissioner,
to Captain Grover, contains the latest intelligence of the
Rev. Dr. Wolff ; it is dated Erzeroom, April 20, 1844 ;
" The Tattar, from Teheran, has just brought me news
to the 29th ult. The Governor of Meshed had sent Dr.
Wolff on to Bokhara under an escort of 270 horse
(Turkomans), we therefore need not be apprehensite
for his personal safety."
The friends of the Rev. Gentleman and of the captives
will be gratified to see that the Earl of Aberdeen's kind
exertions have removed all difficulties.

Mr. Wallace, M.P., passed through Glasgow on
Saturday, for the purpose of being present at the debate on
the sugar question on Monday evening. It is generally
known Mr. W. has &heavy stake in Jamaica property ; on
that account the circumstance of his thus exerting himself in
' his place in Parliament for the breaking up of the
sugar monopoly, which we have -no doubt he will do, is
another proof to the many he has formerly given of the
disinterested public services he renders to the countty.—

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S EMBARKA-
TION AT DOVER FOR CALAIS.—A special train has been en-
gaged to convey her Majesty to Cologne; 'where apartments
at the Royal Hotel have been commanded to be in readiness.
Her Majesty and suite will embark at Cologne on Thursday
morning, on board the Dusseldorf Rhine Steam. Navigation
Company's elegant steam yacht, Victoria, for Mayence, which
vessel has been engaged some days since, through the General
Steam Navigation Company of London.
3int.s.Ncuott ACCIDENT.—On Friday last as the
eldest son of W. Cass, Esq., surgeon (of the firm of Hoff-
meister and Cass, surgeons to the Royal Yacht Squadron),
was playing on the Marquis of Anglesey's grounds at West
cowes, Just within the iron gates of the castle, one of the
gates, from some cause not clearly shown, fell frein its
hines and killed the unfortunate child on the spot.
CAUTION TO CAII-DRIVERS AND CONDUCTORS.--
The Registrar of the metropolitan public carriages has
given notice to the Commissioners of Police that a ge-
neral renewal of licenses to drivers and conductors, ac-
companying an issue of new metal tickets, has just taken
place; that on and after. the Ist of June all persons act-
ing in the above capacities wearing the old metal tickets
will be doing so illegally, and their, tickets may be in-
stantly seized,,in order to be returned to • the Registrar.
The distinction between the, new and old tickets may be
detected at a glance, the former being much smaller and
lighter, with the figures 'larger, and the, crown without
the letters "V. R." The above regulation has, it is
believed, been adopted in consequence of a large number
of persons being in the habit of using badges obtained
by them from those to whom licenses were before
granted.

NEWLY•INVENTED SPECTACLES, TELESCOPES,
OPERA GLASSES, MICROSCOPES, B,:e.—Messrs. S. and
B. Solomons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca-
dilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific im-
provement in Spectacle and Telescope Lenses, &c., of
the greatest transparent power. The extraordinary
advantage derived from this invention is that vision
becomes preserved and strengthened and very' aged per:
sons are enabled to employ their aight either by day ,or
candle light at the most minute occupation, and'can see
with• those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor
will they require the ftequent changes to further helps
as the Spectacles now in common use. Also • newly-in-
vented Achromatic Waiscoat• pocket Telescopes and
Opera. Glasses which are invaluable at the sea-side and
on the race-course, as well as at the theatre, &c.--Every
kind of Telescope for Shooting, Sea purposes, and upon
stand for astronomical observations with the celebrated
Lenses of the most clear transparent brilliancy ; the
powers are so great and the Lenses so bright and bril-
liant that minute objects at an extraordinary distance
are brought completely under the eyes.— m

dispersed in the greatest order. Nothing occurred to bring
discredit upon the populace, or interrupt the solemn harmony
of the day. An attempt to disturb this harmony was, how-
ever, made at the last moment by a proposal for an ovation
in honour of M. •Berauger. That gentleman being in-one of
the carriages of the procession which were returning from the
cemetery, some young men were desirous of taking off the
horses, and harnessing themselves to the carriage, but the
horse municipal guards came up, and prevented the accom-
plishment of this object. The horses were then put to a
gallop, and set off under au escort of municipal guards. It was
nearly half-past six when this occurred, and the Boulevards
were stilt crowded with spectators "
