MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sale of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 500 were
taken for export and 1,000 on speculation. The sales
comprised 500 Pernam and Maranham at 6id. to 71d.,
880 Egyptian at bid. to 11d., and 300 Surat at 3td. to
41d. The market closed steady.—Railway Shares were
dull at lower prices.
By an Act passed in the Legislative Council of Hong-
Kong, on the 13th of January, 1852, consular officers
within their respective jurisdictions, are empowered to
carry out such provisions of the Merchant Seamena' Act
and Mercantile Marine Act, 1850, as ate by the said
Acts entrusted to colonial justices. It declares that in
any case where two or more such justices are required to
act jointly,.one of them is authorised to act alone. They
are to be subject to no suit or proceeding for any act
done in their official capacity with the intention of
carrying out the Acts or any part of them.
The last Jamaica advices enter into a subject of great
importance, viz., tho extraordinary improvement in the
manufacture of sugar at Montpelier estate, belonging to
Lord Howard do Walden. Mr. Hoffman, a German
gentleman, and Mr. de Ville, a scientific Frenchman,
were devoting great attention to the subject. The fol-
lowing are the explanations given:—
By the process of the centrifugal machine, how-
ever, such great alterations and improvements are
effected, in less than ten minutes, in a given quantity
of granulated sugar saturated with molasses
as would astonish men of intelligence of
the longest experience in the manufacture
of sugars. The cane juice from the mill is conveyed in
the usual way to cyphon, or clarifier, and there it under-
goes an alteration in its properties by means of streams
of carbonic acid gas, generated from the combustion of
wood in a furnace, constructed for the purpose, with the
necessary pipes and pump for conveying the gas to the
clarifier, in which it acts upon the feculent:lies in the
liquor. This is a new method, possessing extraordinary
power of causing defecation of those deteriorating
elements in the oane juice which materially supervene in
the progress of evaporation and granulation. The re-
sult of this chemical combination is, that the appearance
of the juice is altogether altered, and, instead of the
dull grey, olive, or olive green colour, a pure, limpid
liquor is seen, very similar to light-coloured brandy, or
toast-water. In this state, passing through filtering
bags, it is poured into the first evaporating copper, and
so on transferred from ono degree of temperature to
another, until the mass acquires tho consistence neces-
sary to its being skipped from the tache to the coolers.
Great care is nuw observed in the manner of transmis-
sion, the,, process of granulation, in some measure, de-
pending upon it. At this stage of the manufacture a
very important and fortunate discovery has been made,
owing entirely to an unfortunate accident. The history
is simply this:—One of the drums of the centrifugal
machine had been smashed to pieces in the operation.
There was then a suspension of the purifying process for
three or four days, the time occupied in repairing the
accident. In the meantime the sugar skipped to the
coolers, remained in a quiescent state, and became as
cool as the surrounding atmosphere. The common plan
is' to pot hot,' or, in other words than planting
technicality, to take the sugar from the cooler to
the hogshead in the curing house as soon as
possible. This practice was observed in passing
the saturated sugar through the centrifugal
machine, before the accident happened, so that the ma-
terial was at a high temperature when the centrifugal
operation was performed. It was discovered, however,
that the time which the mixed mass of molasses and
granulated sugar, ex necessitate rei, remained together
in the cooler, in a state of quiescence, had produced a
vast amount of benefit in the size of the grain, and in
the quantity of granulated material. This discovery led
to another improvement in the promotion of the same
object. Having ascertained from this experience that
slow action in cooling, actual coolness and quiescence
were 'essential to size of grain and quantity of dry
sugar to be obtained from the new method of purifying,
coolers of five or six feet long, by three or four feet
wide, have been substituted for those of nine to twelve
feet long, by five to six feet wide. The consequence has
been that, after remaining undisturbed in these circum-
scribed troughs for three or four days, a large strong-
grained sugar has, invariably, been the product. At the
expiration of this time the molasses which floats on the
top, and which is usually mingled with the entire mass
and potted in the curing-house, is carefully removed to
a steam tache, erected for the special purpose, in which
the syrup undergoes another action of evaporation, and
an additional amount of granulated sugar is produced.
The last stage of these scientific operations is then com-
pleted in the centrifrugal machine, and most wonderful
are the effects."

There are advices of March 23 from Melbourne.
They do not add much to our previous information
about mining, the heat being very great, but about
April several would return to Mount Alexander.
A now Lombardian loan of 4,000,000/. is expected to
come out, and a Spanish loan for 300,0001. to pay off
the old certificates.
