MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 3,000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market was
tame but closed firmly at previous rates. The sales
comprised 6,000 American; 300 Pernam and Maranham,
at 61d. to 70.; 600 Egyptian, at 6d. to 84i.; and 800
Surat, at 3id. to 44ci, per lb.—Railway Shares were
rather firmer. _ _

The railway meetings announced are the following:_
Belgian Eastmn Junction, May 28—Bt ussels, at one.
Caledonian, June 9—London Tavern, at one.
Edinburgh and Glasgow, June 9—Glasgow, at one.
Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Juno 2—Edinburgh.

London Tavern, at one.
Paris and Orleans. May 25—Paris.
Waterford and Kilkenny, May 28—London Tavern,

West Flanders, May 26—Bruges, at twelve.
The following note, dated the 20th instant, has been
received from the secretary of the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton Railways:—
"In reply to your inquiry of this date, I have to in-
form you that tF signature of the allottee will not be re-
quired on deity- .y of scrip in exchange for the banker's
receipts for the deposit as a generel rule, although I
may exercise a discretion of requiring it in any cases
where from circumstances I may think it prudent to do
so, should any such case occur."
The advices from the West Indies are not very en-
couraging, the small-pox still prevailing in Jamaica,
and the crops being deficien`, A communication from
that island remarks:—
" We have to state, with great concern, that the pre-
sent crop in most of the propenties in this pariah will
fall far, very far short of the estimates formed at its
commehcemen+ A variety of circumstances have oc-
curred to operate this serious falling off ; sickness,
small-pox, drought, and last, though not least, the in-
crease of rats on some if not on all properties, especially
where water courses run through them. Some have
fallen short one-third, and some, with the low state
of the markets, will barely pay their expenses.
The people of the West India colonies have really had
much to encounter within the last three years—in fact
as much as the people of Ireland had, during their seve-
ral potato crop failures, which brought their concomi-
tants, famine and death. Disease and death we have
had in abundance, and gaunt famine is not unlikely to
follow. If a remission of the duties—a total remission,
to keep us from being swamped by slave-grown sugar—
be not determined upon, famine, or something like it,
must be looked for, without the prospect or means of
preparation."
The Trelatany mentions that the crop generally
will fall considerably short in Hanover. Some of the
estates will finish taking off their present year's crop
next week.

The Falmouth Post mentions that in the' agricultural
districts of the parish the estates generally have suffered
a great deal from the long drought which hes been
experienced, and from the want of labour, in con-
sequence of the prevailing epidemic. On many pro-
perties which depend on wae'r-power for the taking
in of the crop, the canes have actually rotted
after being cut, the " dryness of the river, as
the peasantry say, having prevented the process of ma-
nufacture from going on. We understand (continues
the Post) that there has been a serious loss of horned
stock, and that the result of these calamities will be the
exportation of a still more limit?d quantity of auger and
rum than was originally anticipe-A.
In the parish of Westmoreland the weather has been
awfully hot, and on the 17th inst int there was such a
tremendous sea breeze that the tswn was almost poi•
coned with dust.
There has been no marked effect produced upon the
Continental Bourses by the Austrian loan.
At Hamburgh last It bills on London were lower,
being 13 6i.
There is very little doing either for money or account
in the English Stock Market, but prices keep

Equador are at 4, and Grenada Deferred at 84. Vene-
zuela Stock has been at 40, and since down to 36. The

Railway Shares have been all better than they left off
on Saturday, and with a fair business doing. Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, Midland, and the other principal
lines are in favour. French Shares are looking up.
Gold Mine Shares are very quiet.
