CITY,MONDAY EVENING.
The English Stock Market closed well, and there was
a fair business done. Consols were 96i to 97 for Money
and Account. Exchequer Bills continued the same. The
Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents., and the New,
were without alteration.

Spanish was barely supported, a sale or two having
been made. The Five per Cents. closed at 22+ and the
Three per Cents. at 30+ to 31. Mexican Deferred rose
to 101, and Chilian to 101. These were the only changes.
The additional transactions in Railway Shares have
been these :—Bristol and Exeter were 5, and South
Eastern 13+ discount. Edinburgh and Glasgow, 7, ditto

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
In the Cotton market at Liverpool, on Saturday, the
sales were 10,000 bales, of which speculators took 6,000
bales, and prices in some instances advanced 4d. per lb.
The improvement, however, was not general. A fair
amount of business was done in Shares, and the market
was firmer :—Edinburgh and Glasgow were 574 ; Great
Western, Fifths, 18+ ; Brighton, 434 ; Manchester and
Birmingham, 38+ ; North Midland, 91 ; Paris and
Orleans, 33 ; Paris and Lyons, 2/. 16s. 6d. ; Paris and
Rotten, 32+ ; South Listern, 36 ; and ditto, New, 36+.
The private advices from the United States and Canada are
not of very great interest. We find that in Canada the pros-
pect of the formation of a new Cabinet by Sir Charles Met-
calfe was expected soon to be accomplished, as the more re-
spectable portion of the inhabitants were ready to support him
in the administration of his Government. And indeed most
of the gentry, merchants, and others, in Kingston, had addressed
his Excellency, approving of his Government.
In his reply, Sir C. sletcalfe said, " I prize those sentiments
,of loyalty to our gracious Sovereign, and attachment to the
mother country, which you evince, and which form the only
sure basis on which the welfare of this colony, as an integral
portion of the British Empire, can be firmly established. On
such feelings, I piece my reliance for success in my resolution
to devote myself to the service of this province, and in my
endeavours to promote the prosperity and happiness of every
class of its inhabitants."

The season has set in, the thermometer being down to Zero.
There had been some good sleighing.
The session of the Colonial Legislature had been abruptly
terminated, and we learn that the Governor-General had
shown something like temper in she proceeding.
Tne United States advises do not possess any importance,
and it is not necessary to refer to them here, as in another co-
lumn of The Sun further details are given.
An improvement has taken place in the public securities this
morning. Consols for Money opened at 9634, and they are
now at 97, rather buyers. The purchases of the Com-
missioners to-day, amounted to 20,000/. Consols at
97, principally, we hear, for the Savings' Banks. If
any investment were made for the redemption of debt, it waa
not announced. Money has become rather more in request,
and a few sales of Exchequer Bills have taken place, but the
premium has not been reduced below 6.55. India Bonds touched
81s. early in the day, but they are now 795. premium. In the
heavy Stocks but slight variations have occurred. Bank Stock
has advanced to 1674, and India Steck to 273.
For Portuguese Converted Stock a considerable demand has
prevailed this morning, and an improvement has taken place
from 441 to 454. We have not heard of any news of im-
portance from Lisbon, to account for this rise. Spanish Stock
remains very nearly the same as on Saturday, the Five per
Cents. at 224 to -X, and the Three per Cents. at 31 and 314.
Dutch Stock is firm. Venezuelan Two per Cent. Bonds have
been sold at 36i ; Mexican at 321 and 4 ; Colombian, ex
Venezuelan, at 11, and Chilian at par.
In the Railway Share Market we have to notice an improve-
ment in the Great Western to 33 premium ; in the London and
Birmingham (New Quarter Shares) to 264 premium; and the
Northern and Eastern have, as well as several other shares,
fallen back a little. The Colonial Bank Shares have receded
to 144 discount.
