MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 500 were taken for c-x-
-port, and 500 on speculation. The market closed quietly.
The sales comprised 50 Fermin and Maranham at Std.,
180 Bahia at 5/d to sicl., 150 Egyptian at 50. to 6i(1.,
2,000 Surat at 2id. to 4d., and the remainder American.
The Share Market was easier, at rather lower prices.
Business in the principal articles of consumption has
been carried on t, a fair extent, and tor Sugar Lull prices
ha►e been obtained. Coffee is still rather dull, but
holders are not pressing sales. Saltpetre has risen. In-
digo goes 'Ai more briskly, and Cotton has a steady sale.
Speculation for a rise is entirely dormant, and importers
are not satisfied with the prices they obtain, for in nu •

merous ii,stances there is a loss. The demond for Rice
his subsided. Rum has been maintained. Wool is
going e.ff at an advance of lid, per lb. for the finer de-
bcrip•ions, and about 18,000 utiles of colonial will be put
up. The attendance is large. The following is Messrs.
C. and J. D. Jacomb's report:—
" The public sales of about 18.000 bales of colonial

wool (of which about 15,500 bales were in first hands at
the terminat►on of, or have arrived since, our last sales,
in November) commenced last evening. Prices have
ranged for scoured wools ld. per lb. higher; Sydney
skit, ld lower, and clothing at about November rates.
The attendance of buyers was numerous, and the bid-
dings were animated."
Under the signature of F. S. T. we have copies of
three letters sent to Lord John Russell upon the subject
of the " Gold in Australia." The writer broaches the
doctrine that Government should claim all the mineral
that the humbler classes or the immoral may not become
too suddenly rich, and disorganise society, and is espe-
cially unwilling that foreigners should be allowed to par-
ticipate. It has not been the policy of the United
States to exclude the subjects of any country, and as to
the other points mooted a royalty is all that could Le
safely imposed, unless we maintain a large standing
army to coerce the energetic and bred men who brave
the rigours and privations attending the occupation.
An idea of the chimerical nature of the writer's plan will
be gleaned from the following, which is by no means the
most crude specimen:—
" I consider, my Lord, it to be essentially needful that
every discouragement and that every prohibition be
given, by the colonial authorities, to prevent such
drafting away of all classes of the population as is now
stated to be in progress—and as will assuredly be found
to be upon the increase, if not prevented. And I know
of but one mean—which is, to deny to them any right of
possession in the gold which they may obtain. I con-
bidsr it to be needful that Government should claim
and take possession of every grain of gold as its own
property, and enforce this law most stringently. I con-
sider, my Lord, that you must put an eff-otual atop to
the drainage of gold from this country, by the compa-
nies which are now afloat for that purpose—and to the
drainage of the rural population of Australia away
from their necessary occupations. No distinction must
be made. It will be quite easy to keep all persons
away; if no individual or individuals have an ad-
vantage all will be content to stand aloof, and let
Government reap the advantage ; but if one be
permitted to enter, all will rush in, and the consequences
at home and abroad are manifest. I also consider it to be
equally essential that the gold should be gathered in with
the greatest possible expedition,with the greatest skill,
and with the greatest care; that Government should im-
mediately organise and send out a sufficient number of
men, who would engage at certain fixed wages, and with
rations from the Government, to work in the gold re-
gions, under the supervision of their agents, for a certain
number of years. These gangs of labourers could be
employed by Government, or could be replenished by
others, as long as such description of employment ex-
isted, and, after certain years, means of retirement, and
plots of ground could be given; this country would be
considerably relieved by such drafting away of its
abundance, and the colonies would, by such means, im-
mediately and permanently obtain the population
which wo do not need, but which they as evidently
require.
But, my Lord, I must not omit to state, that there
appears to me to be many most cogent reasons, from
Reread, from foreign nations, why this Government or-
ganization, and this provision of an extra and inex-
pensive force, to be resident in the colony, and to be
paid by its own exertions, should be immediately made.
Such powerful organization, embracing the two points
of protection to the colony, and the obtaining of its
gold, is, I think, quite indispensable at the present mo-
ment. Fears for the safely of England on our own
shores are, I think, groundless and inconsistent; they
are, I consider, a mere bugbear for the amusement of
the timid; but due care for this especial colony, where
se,m to lie the sinews of war, without proper protection,
is a point of the utmost importance. A new point to
be effectually covered has suddenly twee revealed; and
I consider it to be absolutely needful that all the per-
mitted gold-diggers, and the authorised gold-finders,
should be an organized body of servants paid by her
Atajesiy, effective for the attainment of such treasures,
and tor the protection of the land."
There is admitted to be great inconvenience to the
agricultural interest by the gold mania, and perhaps
some danger to the colony, but the writer is evidently
net on the right track. Emigration will be one remedy,
and the more free the better.
The Birmingham Banking Company have declared a
dividend of 10s. per share, or, at the rate of 10 per cent.
per annum, and a bonus of ss. per share, besides ridding
5,0001. to the guarantee fund, which is now 75,0001.
The Coventry and Warwckshiro Banking Company
have declared the usual, dividend at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum.

rived. The rate of exchange on London was steady at
13 6. Gold brought 4281. Stocks were firm and
Russian Bonds were in request. Money was abundant.
Coffee improved, and sugar was steady. Grain conti-
nued dull.

TheErglish Stock Market has continued rather heavy,

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Coastwise the receipts of English Wheat have been
mode,-ate during the present wQek, viz.. 1,210 quarters;
but the supply fresh up to-day by land carriage was
trifling. The attendance of both town and country mil-
lers was far from extensive, yet the demand for all kinds
of Wheat of home produce was steady at prices, quite
equal to those obtained o❑ Monday. The sales for for-
ward delivery were trifling. From abroad 3,980 quar-
ters of Wheat have come to band. The show of samples
was comparatively small. Selected qualities moved off
freely at full rates of currency. In other
kit.da very little was doing. Floating cargoes
were much neglected, yet holders were firm.
The demand for Barley was by no means so heavy as
on Monday; hence prices were well supported. Malt
was in full average supply and heavy inquiry at late
rates. We had a very slow sale for Oats, but no actual
decline took place in the quotations. Beans were very
dull; but Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were tolerably
firm. The imports of the latter article from the United
States have amounted to 2,360 barrels.

Although the supply or Beasts on sale in to-day's
market was vary limited, and the w( a' her favourable for
slaughtering, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish
state; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported.
Prime Down Sheep were scarce, and quite as dear. All
other breeds moved off steadily, at late rates. About
200 Lambs were in the market, and which sold heavily
at from 4s 8d to 53 per Blbs. Very few Calves were
brought forward, yet the Veal trade was heavy at lute
currencies. In Pigs comparatively little business was
&dog, but no decline was submitted to in value. Mitch
Cows sold heavily, at from 141 to 18/ each, including
their small Calf.
