HONEY AN 1) COMMERCIAL NEWS..
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool had a dull appearance-
on Saturday. Sales, 2,000 bales, of which 500 were
taken by speculators.—The new Railway Shares con-.
tinned in request, but others were heavy. Birmingham~
and Gloucester, 106 ; Caledonian, 4f ; Chester and
Holyhead, 84 ; Churnet Valley, 41 ; Dublin and Cashel,
13i; Grand Junction, Quarters, 51i; Liverpool and Man-
chester, New, 34; Birmingham, 216; London and Yorke
4 ; Lancaster and Carlisle, 8i ; Midland, 1091 ; New-
castle and Darlington, 46 ; Sheffield and Manchester,.
95k; South-Eastern, 401; Paris and Lyons, 2k; Orleans
and Tours, 11.
There are very numerous arrivals to day, but except
be West India steamer, they do not bring later intel-
,igence. The weather in Jamaica and most of the other
islands had been rather favourable for the agriculturists,
but great alarm appears to have been excited in most of
.)ur West India possessions by shocks of an earthquake,
Jamaica on this occasion appearing to have escaped.
go lives had been lost, nor although the shocks were of
unusually lengthened duration had there been any de-
struction of property.
Answers to some of the petitions sent home against-
any alteration in the sugar duties had been taken out,
and which intimate that her Majesty had graciously
received them.
It is stated that Hamburgh has made propositions for
in alliance with- the Zollverein, being jealous of the
treaty arranged between Belgium and Prussia ; but the
,tatement needs no confirmation.
The market for the Public Securities is not quite so
nigh as on Saturday. Consols for Transfer realise 1001 i•
.ind for Time 100 i i. The Commissioners have pur-
chased 5,0001., part at loci and the rest at 100 k. Ex-
chequer Bills obtain 745. to 765. premium. Bank Stock
is worth 210, and,lndia Stock 288 to 2881, being steady-
The market is decidedly less buoyant, and the account;
from Otaheite of the insult to a British officer is the de-
pressing cause ; for although there have been no large
sales, it causes an uneasy alarm.
The Foreign Bonds are rather flat, generally. The
receipt of only 40,000 dollars from Mexico, though, it is
said, there is a large amount ready to come forward, has
made the stock of that Republic heavy at 341 to 35. The
Deferred Bonds have been 15i; Colombian have realised
144 ; Brazil Stock is 861. For Portuguese Converted
full prices continue to be paid—viz., 49i to 501. Spanish
Fire per Cents.; have been 231 to 231 ; and the Three
per Cents., 35 to 34k, being about one-fourth per cent.
ower. The Deferred are 14 ; Venezuela realise 43 to,
44 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 62! to 621;
and the Five per Cents. 98.
The Railway Shares have been generally firm, and in
moderate request. Bristol and Exeter, 8; and Chester
and Holyhead, 31 to 24 premium. Eastern Counties,
111 to 111 discount; Great Western, 70 to 71; Ditto

A. Collier, seconded by Mr. Booth, and carried or:0d
mously :—" That this Association rejoices in the 7the
failure which has this year attended the efforts ° ;
Tories to diminish the constituency of this boroetvo
but they cannot but regret, at the same time, ti.hgt tel
possession of such an important right as that of t'e at
tive franchise should be made to depend in so greopoll
measure upon mere technicalities, instead of resting
abroad and just principle." tor
