MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 12 000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export and 3,000 on speculation. There was
less excitement in the market, but the advance was
maintained. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 1,000
Pernam and Maranham at 61d. to 7d., 950 BAiia at 60.
to 611., 1,500 Egyptian at 6d. to 711. and 500 Surat at
31i. to 4id. per lb.—The Share Market was flit and
closed heavy at lower prices.
The aggregate business done in the produce market
has again been large and prices have been well up to
last week's range for the principal staples. The Indigo
sah's have commenced and are going off very satisfac-
torily. Ocher articles consumed for manufacturing pur-
poses, including cotton, hemp, and wool, have been in
request. Of tea there is a full supply, and the arrivals
of sugar, coffee, spices, &c., are increasing. The ques-
tion of a reduction in the wine duty is still attracting a
good deal of attention among the trade and some con-
troversy ; but it is unlikely the Government will make
any change at present.

The
prfecipa.lcondiiions on which the Master of the
Mint propo.os to let the refinery are, the lease to be for
ten years, terminable after three years by one year's
notice on the part of the lessee. Sub-letting not al-
lowed, nor assigning, unless by consent of the Master of
the Mint. Lessee to pay a rent of 5001. per annum, and
to give security to the amount of 10,000/. for the per-
formance of the fifth condition. The lessee shall be
bound to receive and refine any gold or silver sent to
the r( finery by the Master of the Mint, not being less
than 1001bs., nor more than 4001b5., in one day, and re-
turn the proper quantity of fino gold or fine silver, as
determined by the assay of either of the assayers to the
Mint, to be selected by the Master (the same assayer to
be employed both for issuing and receiving, and no
charge made against th© refiner for assaying), within
fourteeen days, at the following rates of charge for re-
fining:—gold 4a. per lb.; silver 63. per lb. These
prices not being intended to provide for parting, but for
returning fine gold only fur alloyed gold delivered, and
fine silver only for alloyed silver delivered. And the
Master of the Mint is not to be considered bound by
this provision to employ the lessee, but to be at liberty
to employ whom he pleases for refining. To which
Baron Rothschild adds that if the work be stopped by
order of any court, pending such order, he shall be
free from the operation of the condition as to refining
for the Master.

the several ports of Great Britain and Ireland to the

Upon the preparation of fl ix by Chevalier Clausen's
processes, wo have interesting and valuable information
in a work by D. Ryan. Directions aro given for making
the long•line, flax cotton, and flax-wool, and there is a
description of the chemical means employed, as well as of
the system of bleaching fibres, yarns, and fabrics. Che•
valier Ciaussen's pamphlet upon the national importance
and advantages of the Flax movement has reached a
foarth edition, and has some useful additions.
