MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLoot.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were

wore taken for export and on speculation. The market

The sales comprised 12,500 A merican, 800 Per-
nam and Meanham, at 61d. to 7;d.; 200 Bahia at
61i. to 61d.; 500 Egyytian at 6-1-dto Bid.; and
1,200 Surat at 4d. to sd. per lb. Railway shares

Upon the state of the dried fruit trade we have the
following from Messrs. Witherby and Hansom:—
" me Cephalonia New Fruit, tothough differing much
in appearance from the Pat.,zs and Gcnove, has tho
same chat actor of decanesg, tastelessnui, and want of
substance. It is held at 355. We have now had speci-
mens of what is probably the worst, anti, aceordieu to
some acconnt3, of what may LI) cnsidered about the
best of the 1852 crop of entrants. They corroborate, er
rather surpass, the most unfavourable opinion we have
yet natured to give of the new crop ; and it is obvious
that as more ar.ivals of such fruit take plan, time effect
must be to ftit:ther enhacce the vela° of the old, espt •
cially if wo proceed at our present rate of consumption,
which exceeds that of any previous autumn. The out-
parts and populous localities have still to procure winter
supplies.

The steamer from the United States has 300,000
dolls. on board. The stock market was rather dull.
The banks had extended their discounts in New
York, but there was a decree -e in the specie they
held. The latter may be owing to the accumulation
of bullion in the sub-treasuries. The exports were
still smaller than the imports.
The Chilian accounts represent business and finances
as being in a very favourable condition.
The Government of the Sandwich Islands has pro-
mulgated a treaty of reciprocity with the United States.
The Amsterdam stock market on the 23d inst. was

ACCIDENT AT CAMDEN TOWN STATIONXTHISDAT)
—An accident occurred at the Camden Town station of the
London and North Western Railway Company, to
the down mail train leaving Euston-square this morn-
ing at 10 o'clock. The driver of a goods engine,
believing the mail had passed, improperly crossed the
main lino without receiving the sigael of "all right
from the pointsman, and the consequence was a slight
collision, which threw the mail train off the rails. The up
and down lines were consequently blocked up for a consider-
able time, but happily no injury was done to the majority
of the passengers, nor was any inconvenience suffered by them
beyond the annoyance or the shock; and the mail train
having been remade up, it proceeded on its journey at 11
o'clock. One or two of the passengers were slighly bruised ;
and one of the engine-drivers received a severe blow, which
rendered his removal to the hospital necessary.
