MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
(From The Sun of,Saturday, Evening.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 7.7---We have
had a, fair, steady business , doing in Cotton throughout
the week,: and holders have offered their stocks in just
sufficient quantity to satisfy the demand without pro-
ducing any. material change in prices. The common
qualities of American are rather scarce, and command
the full quotations of last week. Brazil have been more
in demand, but the buyer has bad decidedly, the advan-
tage. Speculators have :taken 500 American, and 250
Surats, and exporters 200 American, and 100 Surats.
The sales to-day are 5,000 bales, all to the trade.
LIVERPOOL SHARE. MARKET, JAN. 7.—The follow-
ing are the transactions reported at the close of the Stock
Exchange:—Liverpool and Manchester, 198 ; Half
Shares, 92 ; London and Birmingham, 170 ; 32L Shares,
57i ; New Ditto, 27.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JAN. 7.—Our
market to-day has evinced a greater demand for various
kinds of stock, with little offering for sale.
There has: been but little business doing in the Stock
Exchange this -morning. Consols opened at 891 for
Money ; and 891 sellers for .the Account ; Exchequer
Bills 18 20 prem. ; Spanish Active Stock, 256 s ; Por-
tuguese. Fives, 32k a ; Ditto Threes, 196 h..
There has been but little business doing in the Stock

Spanish Active Stock has receded to 25 ; Danish Bonds
are quoted at 81.1 ; Dutch Tworand-a7llalf per Cents. 51;
Ditto Fives, 100 k.
The Share Market is flat and heavy, with but little
business doing. London and. Brighton are now quoted
.at 37t ; London and Blackwall, ilk ; London and South
Western, 581 ; South Eastern and Dover, 22.
• Consols for Money and the Account, 891 ; Colom-
bian, 21i 24 ; ?Mexican, 291 ; Spanish, 254.
It is believed that had the Bank of England's state-
ment been made up to the present time, its stock of
bullion would look better than it. does, .though now ex-
hibiting as increase. Some of the Sycee silver will doubt-
less swell the stock of the Corporation ; but, on the other
hand, the public annuitants, who have not their thousands
to receive usually prefer.the "suer," and this may ease
the Corporatian of a little of the " ready." All things
considered, the Bank of England is in as safe a position
as for some time past, and it is to. be hoped will not
have occasion to continue the contraction of its
circulation, as such a course must check the
improvement expected in our trade. There is, we
believe, no fear at present of renewed speculations in
foreign corn to any serious extent, and our mercantile
interests are exercising the utmost caution .in their
operations. There is, in fact, nothing bearing the
least semblance of overtrading at present, and the
symptoms of improvement noticeable in the London, pro-
duce and the Liverpool Cotton Market this week, we
ave every reason to suppose are based npon legitimate
and not speculative purchases.

TRIAL OF A YOUNG LADY ON A CHARGE
OF FELONY.-.At the Gloucestershire Sessions, on Fri-
day, the trial of Miss Allen, the daughter of the wealthy
Col. Allen, well known in the county of Gloucester,
took place in the Court-house. Miss Allen, on her name
being called, presented herself, attended by her mother
and some male friends, who manifested great anxiety on
her behalf. She was elegantly attired, but kept her
face closely enveloped in a thick crape veil. When called
upon to plead she trembled violently, and would have

of a chemist and druggist, named Joslin, in the High-street,
Cheltenham, and asked if Mr. Joslin was within. On being
answered in the negative, she went away, but subsequently
returned, and asked liberty from the apprentice to' sit
down. The apprentice went up stairs, and toak his Po-
sition near a glass which was suspended from the ceil-

AFTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR.---We are glad to
learn that the Countess Ducie, Mrs. Milner Gibson, and
several other distinguished patronesses of the Anti-Corn-
iftw %mar, undeterred by the rancorous and unmanly
abuse of tha Tirneg, have declared their intention to pre-
side in person. In addition to thti twenty stalls to be
occupied by the Manchester ladies, the following towns
have promised to take stalls :—London, Leeds, Notting-
ham, Bolton, Stockport, Leicester, Lancaster, Coventry,
Rochdale, Bury, • Ashton-under-Lyne, Dukinfield, Hali-
fax, Stalybridge. The number will no doubt be increased
before the opening of the bazaar. We understand it is
contemplated to open" a picture-gallery in connection
with the bazaar. A number of valuable paintings from
gpichester and the neighbourhood, and also from gentle-
men residing in distant parts of the country, have already
