MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, including 500 American and 500
Surat for export, and 500 American and 1,000 Surat
were taken on speculation. The market closed
heavily, with American below middling 'l-16d.
cheaper, whilst those above were fully as dear as
previously. Surats 1.16 d. higher, but other sorts were
without alteration. The sales consisted of about 4,500
hales American, 160 Pernam and Maranham at -lid. to
70 Bahia 4icl. to 4id., 100 Egyptian 6d. to 9d.,
2,000 Surat;3tl.lto 4d., and'so Sea Island at 13d. to 18d.—
The Railway Share Market ruled quiet, and closed with-
out any material alteration to notice.
The Indigo sal-s, as we aro informed by Messrs.
Wilkinson and Jewesbury, a,nsist of 14,514 chests; of
which 10,904 are Bengal, Ouile, &e., 1,092 Madras, and
593 Kurpah, besides parcels in second hands. The
qualities of Bengal are about two-thirds good and fine,
and one-third mid, and ord; the Madras three-fourths
ordinary, one-fourth mid. and good, with a small
proportion of fine; the Kurpah one-third good
and fine, and two-thirds, mid and ordinary; the Binila-
patam middling and ordinary; 'he Oude mostly ordinary.
Atter the announcement of 801 chests withdrawn, the
sale opened with a parcel of good and fine Bengal of the
mark H—AB and Co., which mostly sold with mc-
derate spirit at a reduction upon last October rates
of 3d. per lb. for the finer qualities, and 2d. per lb. for
the middling and consuming sorts; which rates have
ruled throughout the day. No Madras or Kurpah has
yet passed sale. There was but a limited attendance
both of foreign and home buyers. 1.022 chests passed
yesterday, of which 205 were withdrawn, 307 bought
in, and 510 sold.

The West India advices lately to hand went very
fully into the question of immigration, and the Trinidad
papers received by the late mails are especially much
occupied in discussing the subject, and their reports of
the legislative proceedings at Port of Spain show the
question to be adjudged in the highest quarters
one of the greatest importance to the welfare of
the colony. Lord Harris and the Council of Go-
vernment have arrived at the conclusion that immi-
grants from India and China ought still to be sought
at all reasonable hazards and cost; while a portion of
the press abjures both of those coursee, and uncondi-
tionally declares that the United states is the sole, pro-
per, and practicable country from which immigrants can
be procured for the island.
The accounts before us go on to state that " a reason
why we believe it unnecessary to impose the condition
of providing free return passages for immigrants intro-
duced into these colonies is, that in the majority of cases
the best of the immigrants, if left to provide the passage
money, their own resources, would scarcely choose
to return in a proportion exceeding one iin ten.
With regard to the Chinese, who have been pretty ex-
tensively tried in this respect, this position is considered
proved, and is advanced as an unquestionable fact in
support of the condition attached to Mr. Losh's re-
solution. And whether in Trinidad, or Dame-
rarara, or Jamaica, wo have never heard of, or seen
a single instance of an emigrant, whether Afri-
can, East India, or Portuguese, who, having made a
little money, has chosen to spend a portion of it for
a passage back to 'his native land. We have heard
of many to the contrary, however, and cant point
to a few in Jamaica, which, we have not the slight-
est doubt, a little examination would enable us
to increase. That the imposition of such a condi-
tion on the colonies is a grievous oppression, Jamaica is
at this moment in course of experiencing, the Legisla-
ture having been called on during the present session
to raise some 25,000/., to provide for return passages
which may be demanded during the present year! And
Trinidad is in a similar predicament, having some
2,200 coolies,' who would be entitled to return-passages
Est various periods during the coming crop.' "

The Stock Market, though very quiet, has been par-
ticularly firm, and an advance has occurred of DM other
per cent. Consols have been 96/ fur Transfer, and
96i to S 7 for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Crnti. have been up to 98Z- and 99 , and
the Three per Cents, to 97i This is " PRY
day " and the differences are being prt ;raptly
liquidated. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 61s. to
63g., and India Bonds 708. to 71s. premium. Tirere has
been a bargain in South Sea Sock at 1071. Bulk Stock
is worth 2164 to 217.

The feature in the Foreign Stock Market is a rf factior.
in Mexicaa Bonds of to per cent., the opening prices
having been 32i while the present rates are
only 32i i• The mere realization of profits is
said to be the cause, as Mr. Falconnet, et
his interview with the Committee yesterday, mentioned
Among other gratifying circumstances the desiro of the
Mexican Government to provide for a dividend in ad-
vance henceforth, so As to prevent failure of payment
when due. The customs' income being derived from
duties for which long credit is given, does no t
come in sufficiently early, unless the Government starts
with a surplus in hand. Rumours have been circulated
of an intended new loan, but there is not, we believe, the
slightest foundation for this. Brazilian New Bonds
have been at 93i, Grenada Old Stock is steady
at 11, and the Deferred at 6, but with very
little doing. Venezuela Stock is worth 35. Sar-
dinian Bonds are at 81d. French Five, per
Cents. are at 103, with the Exchange at 25 30. Belgian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are worth 91, and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 59.
The Railway Share Market is higher, and theft have
been moderate purchases.

Gold Mines continue rather heavy, in consequence of
the multiplicity of new schemes, the best only of which
get their deposits paid.

DiANCHES lER AND SALFORD EDUCATION

BILL.
Mr. BROTHERTON moved the second reading of
this Bill. The object of the Bill was to provide educa-
tion for the pour of Manchester and Salford, and it
would authorise the raising of a local rate, to be ma-
naged and expended under the authority of the town-
council. It was of essential importance that the poor of
these boroughs should be religiously educated, and he
hoped the House would allow the Bill to go into Com-
mittee, so that its details might be discussed. It was
supported by the majority of the ratepayers in every
parish, not only in numerical point of view, but also in
point of value.—(Hear. hear.) Great good might be
accomplished by carrying out this Bill, and now that the
inhabitants of these two large boroughs were anxious
to unite for carrying out this laudable purpose,
Honourable Members who entertained peculiar
views upon this subject would forego them
in this instance.— (Hear, hear.) He preferred this Bill
to a general measure, because it was intended as a sort
of experiment; and if it succeeded, the House would
have some foundation to build upon next session in its
legislation upon the important topic of the moral educa-
tion of the people.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. WILLIAM BROWN seconded the motion, and
said be took the same view of the Bill as his
Friend who had moved its second readigeg• o
eui d-t
tended as an experiment, mad he hoped the
allow it to go into Committee,

t e principle of the Bill,
which he believed t highly approved of, and
if they wished to
resist any of its details he was sure
they would receive every attention from the Committee
to whom it would be referred. With regard to the
merits of the Bill, he had no hesitation in stating that it
was an excellent one. The people of Manchester had
lung made up their minds upon the great question of
education, and they cid not wish to be tied up until the
general measure should be adopted. The Bill would
interfere with none of the existing schools, nor would it
vitt!ate any of those prejudices or opinions
would
pre-
veiled on the subject of religion, though one clause
make it compulsory that the Scriptures should be
read in the, new schools to be established under
its authority. The whole, of tbe Dissenting
Catholics were
body of Manchester and Salford were favourable to the
Bill, and although the Roman averse to
the religious clause, he had reason to believe that they
were otherwise not in any way opposed to it. There
were 60,000 ratepayers in Manchester, and of that num-
bernoless than 40,000 had signed a
petition in favour
cif the Bill, and he did think it was the duty of the
House to read the' thought •Le Bill
a second time.
Mr. BRIGH
the Honourable Gentleman
who had just sat down had failed entirely in meeting
the objection to the Bill. The corporation of Manchester
had fixed a day for discussing the Bill, and surely
it was not unreasonable to ask the House to
po,tpone its second readin;; until after that day. As
yet the corporation had not considered this Bill as it now
stood; the general question, it was true, had been amply
ditcessed by the corporation, but it was only within the
last few days that they became acquainted with the real
provisions of the Bill, and they had therefore a right to
demand that it should be postponed until they had come
to some resolution upon the subject. He did 11,1. wish
to see the Bill rejected, but there was a great difference
of ipicion upon the subject in Manchester, and the Bill
ought not to go into Committee until the °Pi'
nion of the corporation had been put in

a proper shape to come before Paribment.

House to adopt the amendn.ient.
Mr. GLA.DSTONE considered the subject embraced
by the Bill was far too important to be dealt with and
discussed iii the shape of a private Bill. It ought to
have been made a public measure, and entertaining that
belief he was at a loss to understand how he could con-
sistently support a motion for reading it a second time.
There was no member of the Government in his place
ready to pronounce an opinion upon it, and after
the declaration which fell from the lips of the
Prime Minister the other night, that after they
had disposed of Reform, they ought to take uP
the subject of national education, the House ought to
pause before they adopted a system upon the dictation
of Manchester, which might afterwards bind Liverpool
or any other large town in the country. This Bill was
equally as anomalous as a private Bill would be for the
enfranchisement of Manchester, and he really did think
the House ought to insist upon having it discussed as
public measure. He was quite ready to accord the taeri
which was claimed for those who concocted this
Btlli
no doubt their intentions were highly laudable; but ail°
was far too vast a subject to be dealt with in the nature
of a private 811. Nevertheless, although he disapproved
of many of its provisions, he was willing, out of respect
for the people of Manchester, that this Bill should be
sent before a Committee; but he must again repeat that
the proper mode of legislating upon the matter WOUla
be by a public measure, which should be a
all the other branches of the country besides Salford
and Manchester, when there would be something 111°2,
chance of debating the question, not as they did a cis',"
or a gas Bill, but upon the broad basis of public prineiP'e'
He thought that this Bill would be more conveniently,
pplicabie tq
discussed as a private Bill, on the second reading, ant
he put it to his Hon. Friend whether he had not be
consent to this course. He must remind the House le
what the discussion of general principles under the form
of a private Bill would most likely lead. The res't
would be that the whole course of legislation for &u,:i
country would be affected by it, for the House, whene
came to discuss great general principles, would flede
themselves bound down by, some former decision on
subject in a private Bill. He wished to have a full t;
cussion on this Bill with the House fully aware of wP,'
they were doing, and what particular course was. 'llli
tended to be adopted with the Bill atter it had receiv,r,
a second reading. He should support the motion 101
postponement.
Mr. CARDWELL though; be objections urged by,
the Right Hon. Gentleman entirely technical in form
and operations. Here were 40,000 ratepayers of 144,9 n;
cheater coming forward before the House to ask '
authority to sanction a measure for general educato„g
"
for the borough, and they were met by dilatory If.
posals. He thought that there could be no opporlll,ensell
so favourable as the present for full discussion. J."
people of Manchester had been driven to take this
by the rejection of the general measure of educatt;
which had been brought before that House during 00
last few years, and he thought the House could d 0.%
less than take into consideration the measure for wille
they asked.
Mr. W. J. FOX denied that there was an entire al;
nimity among the religious sects of Manchester 00 .&bo
subject of this Bill. This was very far from being 'ro
fact. It might be true that a majority of rateper
bad signed the petition for this Bill, but there wereiresiios
among those who signed the petition simply
a means of obtaining some plan of education be it trusi
it might. If ho was correctly informed, a majority
the actual inhabitants of Manchester had signed seteal;
tion in favour of an entirely different nature, elnirikiii
comprised those classes whom the measure most o"•;„'s
concerned, those who were to receive the eduo"sid
which it was proposed to give. With legfil;
to the present Bill, he would support it, Wail
it did not fulfil the two conditions which had been ..11's
down by the Noble Lord at the head of the Goverelueno
in his speech last session, namely, that any messer6o id
be supported by the Government mast be religioass°,/,
not offend the religious consciences of any persons,
der
should support the motion for postponement, in 01. se
that the Bill should be discussed as fully and fairly
the great principle which it contained deserved. of
Mr. HUME did not think that the great questios
education would suffer by the present Bill being 1)°,8,0
poned for a few days. He could not think that tie
was a private Bill, and he differed from the 14013°"pe
able Member for Liverpool, that this was the u3°
opportune period for its discussion, as no leading WI;
ber of the Government was present. After the deciariiilo
of the Noble Lord the other night he thought it w° of
be premature to discuss this question under the form
a private Bill. fig
Sir F. BARING thought it would be of great bellent
if the Noble Lord at the head of the Goverfassente•
the Secretary of State, should be present at the dist,
sion of this Bill. They had both, however, been s°7;o
moned to Windsor, and were, therefore, unable to
present. The fairest course then would be to adjotire'v.
the debate until Wednesday next, when they could
present. He should, therefore, move au adjournmeol:
The debate was then adjourned to Wednesday gel"

because it gave the New River Company power to gs: b
the water from the River Lee, the navigation of Irbil',
