CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liv(3ryool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which. 1,500 were taken on spe-
culation. The market closed ifirmly. The sales com-
prised 6,000 American, 50 Peri iam and Maranbam at

By the ship Prince of Wale-s, arrived at Portsmouth,
there are advices of May 8, ft !om Sydney. This vessel
has gold on board, but, the am ount is not yet ascertained.
Ia the week previous to date there had arrived at Sydney
from the " diggings" about 5,000 ounces. The total
amount of gold obtained in New South Wales and
Victoria since the gold dibeo veries were made was
3,654,3481. calculated at 655. pel ounce, and of this 160,000
ounces were supposed to be still, at Melbourne and Sydney
in private hands and at the balaks. The accounts from the
" diggings" were still encouraging, and the rains that
bad fallen would facilitate op nektions. It was supposed
the revenue of Now South Wales would, ere long, be.
1,000,000.1. For gold seeking licenses alone as much as
46,171/, had been received in, New South Wales, and
74,0791, in; Victoria. The number of persons ar-
rived at Sydney during the first year of the
gold discoveries, the twelve mo nths being considered to
have expired in May, was 14,915, but 6,733 had left
again, principally for Port The anniversary of
Mr. Hargreave's public announ cement of his discoveries
had been celebrated at Bathurst by a dinner given to
him. The latest prices paid for gold were 635. 6d. to
645. per ounce. Exchange in London for drafts against
gold was at 8 per cent. discount and freight per
cent. Freight for Tallow -was at 355. and 5 per
cent., and for Wool id. to lei. per lb. The Import-
market at Sydney was dull, except for fire-arms,
brandy, canvass, and winter al ops.
The fate of Dr. Leichharelt is stated to have been
ascertained. He is said to have been murdered, with
all his party, at the creek called Bunderabella, 150 to
200 miles up the country. The party who gives this
account verifies it with his mime.

The Amsterdam Stock LlP.rket, on the 16th inst., was
buoyant. Dutch Two-and -a-Half per Cents. 641.

The following are extract a from the report of the
Southampton Dock Company', passed at the half-yearly
general meeting just held:—

" The accounts to the 30th June, 1852, now submitted
to the proprietors, exhibit 's progressive increase of re-
venue, amounting on the half-year to 1,3581. 118.11 d.
over the gross earnings of the corresponding halt year of
1851. The balance to the credit of the revenue, after
payment of the interest on the debenture debt, of the
dividend on the preference stock, and of all the work-
ing expenses, repairs, &c., amounts to 1,2241. ss. ,a and
enables the directors to recommend a dividend, clear'fees
than

the dividend of the last half-year, islf- ear to the derabl

continuance of heavy. rains in different parts of the
country still inspires uneasiness. Consols have been

the former 99 to 1 and the latter 991 to The New
