MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The toles of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 15.000 bales, of which 2,000 American
were taken for exp rt, and 4,000 American and 1,000
Surat on speculation. The market was animated,
and closed firmly with American. common Brazil
and Egyptian per lb. higher. Other sorts without
change. The sales comprised
i,Lot,ooo7ooA.;merican, 1,500
61d. to 61d.; 2,000 Egyptian, at sirl. to 9kd.; 1,000
Surat, at 3d. to 4id. ; and 150 Sea Island, at Is. 3d. to
Is. 9d. per lb.—Eailway Shares were dull, at lower
prices.

- The publio sales of Indigo have ben progressing very
satisfactorily, the quantity declared being 7,356 chests.
The qualities of Bengal are about two-thirds good and
fine, _tied oric-third snick and -urd.-; the -Kew-paha -two-
thirds good and fine, and one-third mid. and ord.; the
Bimlapatam mid, and ord.; and the Manilla ord. On
the first day 930 chests passed, of which 730 were
sold; and yesterday 1,422 passed, and 922 were pur-
chased. Good and fine Kurpah sold with fair spirit at
an advance of 6d. to 9d. per lb. on February rates. Ma-
dras went 6a. higher for the lower qualities, end Bengal
at 6d. to 81 per lb. advance. There is a fair attendance
of buyers from the manufacturing districts and the
Continent.

Tho six weeks' average price of Wheat is 40e. 11d. per
quarter.

- At a meeting held this morning of the shareholders
in the Provincial Bank of England, a dividend at the
rate of 6 per cent, per annum was declared, with a bonus
at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, realized by the
excellent management of the directors.
Some official. papers relating to emigration to the
North A mer.ican colonies have been compiled, containing
interesting information. To the end of the season of
1851 the number of emigrants, exclusive of Cabin pas-
sengers, embarked from Europe was 39,563, to which
59 births on the routine being added, gives the total
at 39,622. The deaths at sea amounted to 210, and
51 in quarantine, together making the mortality 261,
leaving the number landed in Canada 39,361, to which
609 classed as cabin passengers must be added, and also
1,106 from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, making
the. total number of emigrants landed in the colony 41,076.
This number, as compared with that of 1850, shows an in-
crease of 8,784, or nearly 28 per cent. The number of vessels
engaged in the passenger trade from Europe generally
was 337, measuring 148,328 tons. Of this number 17
were foreign vessels, measuring 5,329 tons, 10 of which
were from the continent, 87 from the United
Kingdom. The total number cf adult emigrants was
32,573, while the tonnage of the vessels could have carried
68,695, exclusive of crews. Objections are made to the
promotion of emigration in the late season of the year
of those who are very scantily supplied, as the suffer-
legs and discomfort of such are great. The emigrants
during the past year were all able to get
employment immediately, owing to the good
demand for labour that prevailed. To the
United States emigration cortinues steadily, and the
number of emigrants arrived at New York shows an in-
crease over 1850 of 76,805. Of the whole number, viz,
289,601, considerably More than half were from Ireland,
30.742 from England acd Waler, and 7,302 from Scot-
land. It was supposed that full rates of wages for the
present year would be fully sustained, and the demand
for labour continues. At St. John's, New Brunswick,
1,700 emigrants arrived during the past season. In
that city labourers were in demand, and wages high.
For all descriptions of labour the market was inade-
quately supplied. Farm labourers and domestic servants
were much in request for the country, yet there are
scarcely any who proceed to the rural districts.

The amount of bullion in the Bank of England will,
in the return to be published in to-morrow evening's
Gazette, exceed twenty millions sterling. The gold by the
Statesman from Port Philip, valued at about 210,0001.,
but probably worth more, has been received in London,
arid that vessel was reported yesterday at the Customs.

Railway Shares have been rather weak, and in some
cases lower, but the rates of "continuation" are more
reasonable than on the last account day, varying from
five to ten per cent. on the better class of shares, op to
eighteen per cent. per annum for those of a more
speculativa character. There is still considerable con-
fidence in an early rise in prices. French Shares are

heavy.
The Gold Mine Shares aro remarkably quiet, con-
sidering the favourable news received from Australia
and from the Ague Fria district. The Copper com-
panies aro about the same.
Nothing has been done in Joint-stock Banks or Steam

Manner as to give zn adequate idea of its
beauty. grandeur and
2 X., Ll'
this It is en'y in a v ist locale like E • -h3!l that
'erring
eats be accomplished. Its performance was &-
of high and unminglei praise. Great force and
Tilrur were combined with the utmost precision, and the
most discriminatirg attention to all the delicacies of ex-
pression and effect, in a maismr cep:llly honourable to
the performers, and their eb!e conductor.
Mademoiselle Clause, who may be said on this occasion
to have made her first public appearance in this country,
played Mondehsohn's concerto in a arinnyr which justi-
fied her high reputation. Though very young she has
every quality of a great performer; a strength of hand
quite wonderful in one of so delicate an aspect; a liquid,
vocal toucb; a firm, rapid finger; a gracciul and beautiful
manner of phrasing, and a warm and animated expres-
sion. The audience expressed their delight by acelarna-
tionv, and the beautiful andante was called for a second
time.
Dr. Wylde's scena made
little impression. It was a
musician-like conspoSition, and showed technical skill,
but it lacked original and expressive melody.
The remainder of the performance consisted of well-
known pieces, which e ere well executed. The hall was
well filled, and the concert was satisfactory and suc-
cessful.
