The demand for cotton at Liverpool was yesterday tole-
rably extensive, nearly 7,000 bales changing hands at pre-
vious rates. There was a brisker market for Shares, and
prices were firmer. Birmingham and Gloucester, 1121 ;

Launceston papers to April 1 have been anticipated by
more recent accounts from Hobart Town.

The reports from the manufacturing districts relative to
the :tate of trade are very satisfactory, and the same may be
said with respect to those upon the produce markets here.
Everywhere there is steadiness of demand and absence of
excitement, with an ample, ithough perhaps not quite so
superabundant a supply of cash, and the auspi-
cious weather, despite Otaheite bile, Morocco froth,
Spanish embrlglio, and Ministerial vaunting, puts all
classes interested in commerce in good spirits, so
powerful is felt to be the influence in this country for good or
evil, of a rich or deficient harvest. Trifling as to many the
circumstance may appear, we are told that the aggregate
amount of money taken out of the country by absenteeism,
whether of the more opulent or middling class of our coun-
trymen periodically visiting the Continent about this time of
year, is very considerable—startling in fact—and the less
which under the present system of currency must
be incurred on the exchanges by the remittance of it to the
annuitants, besides the total abstraction of the sums spent,
may be easily conceived. Mr. Vigo's tables, illustrating the
intrinsic value of our and all foreign coins, the most accurate
and complete, perhaps, ever framed, will go far to aid in the
appreciation of this fact.
The Stock Market is quiet to-day as to the actual amount
of business doing, but prices are very firm. Consols realise
99i to 99 for next Tuesday, and 991 to A for Account. Ex-
chequer Bills are worth 755. to 775. prem. The Three per
Cent. Annuities have been at par to 994. East India Stock
is heavy at 284. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. ob-
tain 1011 to ; and the Reduced 1021 to a.
The Foreign Market continues flat, and there is even less
doing than yesterday. The Spanish Deferred have been 121,
and the Passive 54 ; but, up to the hour of writing, the Fives
and Threes are considered nominal. Mexican Deferred ob-
tains 15i; Colombian, In ; and Brazilian, 841, being much
the same. Danish are firm at 89, and Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 611.

The principal lines o: Railway look very firm this morning,
the inquiry being moderate. Great Western have rather im•
proved, as also Brighton. French Shares are held rather
more steadily.

PARIS, AuG. 9.

The French Government has received a telegra-
phic dispatch, dated the night of the 2d and 3d of
August. The news contained in it was brought to
Port Vendries by the Gregois Government steamer.

At the moment when the Prince de Joinville was
about to commence the bombardment of Tangiers, a
letter from the Emperor of Morocco was received,
giving full power to the Pacha of Larache to treat
for peace. The Emperor, besides, was to write a
letter to the Prince de Joinville, in which he assured
his Royal Highness that peace would be re-esta-
blished.—Chronicle.
