FRANKFORT, MARCH 19.—Our fair is now very
lively, and promises to be a very geod one. Large
purchases have already been made in fine woollen cloths,
silks, and fashionable goods, and some other descrip-
tions of goods are quite cleared off. The number
of foreigners is very •great. A fatal accident oc•
curred on the 18th, on board the Druses steam-
boat, near Hittdorf. A leak was sprung in the
boiler, by which means the steam and boiling water
penetrated into the machine-room unfortunately- just at
at the time when all persons not on duty were assem-
bled to take some refreshment, so that many persons
were injured. —Dutch Papers, March 23.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The absence of any particular reason for influencing
the funds, and the near approach of that period when a
partial secession .of business occurs, have caused the
transactions in the Stock Markets to be extremely small
to-day. The quantity of capital unemployed, and the
want of means in which to invest, other than our own
securities, occasioned prices to be firmly maintained.
Consols for Money closed at 891 1, and at 891 1 for
the Account ; Exchequer Bills, 27 29 prem.
The price of Belgian was 103 to 104 ; Brazilian, 70 to
71 ; Danish, 811 to 821 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 52 to 1, and the Five per Cents., 103 to 1. The
quotation of Spanish was 241 to a ; Mexican, 411 to 1 ;
and Colombian, 26 to 1.
Birmingham Railway Shares were quoted 85 to 87
prem. ; Great Western, 26 to. 27 prem. ; South Western,
59 to, 60 ; North Midland, 69 to 71 per share ; Black-
wall, 11 to 1 ex-div., and Eastern Counties, 131 to 124
discount.

The holidays in the Colonial Market commenced to-
day, and will not terminate until the 30th inst., business
will, of course, be suspended during the interval.
(From The Sun of Last ICight.)
The improvement in the English Stocks, noticed tl have
occurred yesterday afternoon, is maintained to-day, although
the amount of business is very limited, owing to the approach
of the holidays. Consols are 89/ for money, and 891 for the
Account. India Stock 240't0 241 for money; India Bonds
8 to 10; and Exchequer Bills, 27 to 29 premium.
In the Foreign Market bargains have been principally con-
fined to Mexican, ;lie quotation for which has been slightly
advanced, being now 41i to 411, ; Portuguese, 34i; and
Spanish, 24* 4. The price of the Two-and-a-Half per Cent.
Dutch Stock is 52k, and the Five per Cent. 103* *; Belgian
Five per Cents. 104, and Russian, 112%.
An inquiry has existed for Railway Shares, but few have as
yet been sold. New North Midland are 34 ; South Western,
591, ; Great North of England, 87 ; Brighton 36, and Bir-
mingham Quarter Shares 36.

The adjournment of the House of Commons, without coming
to a decision upon the question now before it, coupled with the
announcement that the consideration of the tariff will not be
immediately pressed, has given much satisfaction in the City.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 23.—The Market
was very flat, and the sales only amounted to 3,000 bales, at
prices which, though not lower, were more in favour of purcha
sera. The transactions comprise-400 Surats, at 3d. to 4i. ;
50 Egyptian, 7d. to 70. ; 20 Bahia, at 6d. ; 2,530 American,
at 44-d. to 74.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, MARCH 23.—A moderate
business was done in the following Shares at the prices quoted.
Great Western and Eastern Counties were, however, in moat
request. London and Birmirgham Quarter Shares, 35%;
Manchester and Leeds, 78 9-10; North Midlands, Thirds,
223; Eastern Counties, Debentures, 101. 12s. Bd. ; the New
ditto,_ 41. ss. 2d. ; Great Western, 91 ; the Halves, 63g.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 23.—Our

ported. South Western, 593; New Eastern Counties,
11. 16e. 3d. prem. ; Lancaster and Prest m, Three Quarter
Shares, 14%; Bank of Manchester, 31. 3s. 9d. ; Manchester

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
( FROM OUR OWN ODRIUMPONIMIXT.)

MARCH 23.—The Spanish brig Amiable Rosanita, from Ha-
vannah for Hamburg!), came up last night in distress, having re-
ceived damage in a hurricane, and been obliged to throw part of
her cargo overboard. This morning, in getting under weigh to
come into harbour to repair, before sufficient sail was got upon her,
a squall from the nt.rth.west drove her on shore, between the rocks,
broadside on to the westward of the entrance of the harbour, oppo.
site Earl De Grey's villa ;:the tidenearly left her at low water. She
does not appear to have received any damage yet, but as there is a
ledge of rocks on each side of her, she is in a dangerous situation.
There are a number of men employed lightening her, and three
barges lying off,

could not be kept in circulation, and at a meeting of the prin-
cipal capitalists in the island, at the Bugle Inn, Newport, on
the 21st inst., it was resolved to form an Isle of Wight Banging
Company, in shares of 1001. each, and that Messrs. Roe and
Blashford, bankers, should be requested to join it, and under-
take the conducting of it, which they accepted. Since Novem
ber their circulation has been reduced from 36,0001. to a nomi-
'nsotßesankof
mai one 5,0001., but really not one—the notes being sent in as
fast as circulated. The numercus failures liming entirely
destroyed all confidence in local paper, particularly of private
banks and joint-stock are thought I.ttle better of as the Share-
holders are unknown. and may be all men of straw, we vould
advise the proposed Company if they wish to-secure the con-
fidence of the public to have a list of the Shareholders posted
up in their cash offices, that every depositor or holder of their
paper may see on vibe. security he is doing business.
Albany Barracks are fitting with all possible dispatch for
the reception of 1,400 troops. The St. Helena Regiment will
be the first occupants, they only wait its being ready far their
reception ; the security of newly raised troops in these barracks
must be grea er than in any other—desertion is next to im-
possible. The facility of embarking. is also very great. The
worst part of the voyage is also saved that from the Downs.
