LATEST NEWS.

SUN-OFFICE, Quarter past Three.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL was expected to arrive in
town at one o'cloca this day from Osborne House.
He stayed there last night, having at eight o'clock
sent a packet of letters by a QUEEN'S Messenger up
to London. A Treasury Messenger also came from
Osborne House at the same time. No steam-boat
could be procured in Cowes at that hour, and the two
Messengers came oyez-
boat, and thence by the mail train this morning.

As Lord JOHN RUSSELL was on his way from
Edinburgh to London on Tuesday, in obedience to
her MAJESTY'S commands, he met at Normanton
station Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT, who were just
halting there for a few minutes. This accidental
circumstance, the coming together of the men of the
people, is we hope the omen of a still closer alli-
ance.

LORD JoHN RussELL.—His Lordship had not
arrived at his town residence at two o'clock this
afternoon, but his arrival was looked for every hour
from Osborne House, Isle of Wight, where his Lord-
ship:has been staying since yesterday afternoon, on a
visit to the Queen.

Mr. Francis Baring (Chancellor of the Exchequer
under Lord Melbourne's Administration) has arrived

in town.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—It is generally under-
stood that the principal Registrar of the Court of
Chancery attended the Lord Chancellor to-day, at his
house, George-street, Hanover-square, when his
Lordship made orders in all the cases that were de-
pending before him for judgment, preparatory to re-
signing the Great Seal.

The Earl of Lauderdale, we are gratified to learn,
is rapidly regaining his health, after his severe indisposition.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady :
sales 6,000 bales, all to the trade. There was an improving
business for shares, prices were generally firmer, and a large
business would have been done but for the political excite-
ment.

There is nothing new in the City to-day,- and the Minis-
terial crisis absorbs undivided attention.

Stocks are flat, and have been 1,4 to par cent. lower
than they closed yesterday. Bank Stock is 200 to 201. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 9414 to %,
and the Three per Cents. 9214 to %. On Exchequer-bills
the premium is 21s. to 235. Consols for special tranfer have
been marked 93k, the books being shut, and for time 924
to %, ex dividend.
The Foreign Bonds have been, steady. Spanish Five per
Cents. have remained at 28. The Three per Cents. have
been 374 to 38. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been
marked, 59 ; Mexican, 30 ; Peruvian, 35 ; and Grenada, 204.
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 94% to 95.
e Shares are quiet, but they teem firm generally, and but
little is required to give prices an upward turn.
