MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es

timated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American, 2,000
Egyptian, and 1,000 Surat, were taken on speculation.
The market closed steadily. The sales comprised 5,000
American, 500 Pernam and MAranham, at 6ftd. to 7d.;
2.500 Egyptian, at sitl. to 7-id.; and 1,800 Surat at
3-0. to 41d per lb.—Railway shares were rather firmer.
The latest information received concerning the current
Crop is no better than that previously to hand. Messrs.
Witherby and Hanson state:—

" The latest dates now to hand are to the 27th July
from Patras, and 29th from Zante, and we regru.
state that they continue to be uniformly unfavourable;
the disease was still committing general devastation, de-
stroying in some parts nearly all the fruit, in others
three-fourths, in some one-half. The Cephalonia crop
seems hitherto to have been the least injured, the fruit
in that island being less exposed to atmospheric influence
than in other localities in consequence of a different
mode of culture. It is a general opinion that much more
than half of the crop of currants will be lost, and that
even the sound part, if it escape rain, will prove to be
very inferior in quality."
The San Francisco Whig says—" Horace Cole, Esq.,
and other San Francisco merchants, contemplated fitting
out an expedition to Japan. For this purpose they will
purchase and fit out an elegant clipper vessel, and at
once sail for Hong-Kong, where they will remain till
such time as the American squadron, under com-
mand of Commodore Aulick, shall proceed in ac-
cordance with instructions to the port of Jeddo,
for the purpose of opening a commercial in-
tercourse with the Japanese Government, and in
the event of making commercial treaties, be the first un-
der the protection of the American flag to take advan-
tage of the newly-opening field of commerce. The time
cannot be far distant when Japan will cease to be an
unknown land; when her ports shall open their rich
commerce to the enterprise of the American merchant.
We hope the men of San Francisco will be the first to
explore this new field, and the first to reap any advan-
tage therefrom. Success to Mr. Cole and his asso-
ciates."

The Hamburgh mail of Friday last brings the rate of
exchange on London I higher; viz., 13 54. Wheat was
dearer, Coffee very quiet, and Cotton in request.
From parts of Holland the advises respecting the
crops continue very favourable.

tralia.

The tide of emigration to Melbourne and Sydney is
in full force again, and the offices of the leading brokers
are crowded with emigrants this morning, mostly of ap-
parent means and respectability.

in;, and owing to the unsettled weather, and the unsa-
