MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 3,000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market was
tame but closed firmly at previous rates. The sales
comprised 6,000 American; 300 Pernam and Maranhao;
at bid. to 7id.; 600 Egyptian, at 6d. to 84d.; and 800
Surat, at 3id. to 4i4. per lb.—Railway Shares were
rather firmer.

The railway meetings announced are the following:—
Belgian Eastern Junction, May 28—Brussels, at one.
Caledonian, June 9—London Tavern, at one.
Edinburgh and Glasgow, June 9—Glasgow, at one.
Edinburgh, Pertb, and Dundee, June 2—Edinburgh.
Middlesborough and Redcar, June 4—Nortbgate, al
half-past nine.

Midland, June 10—Derby.
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, June 3.
London Tavern, at one.

Paris and Orleans, May 25—Paris.
Waterford and Kilkenny, May 28—London Tavern,
at two.

West Flanders, May 26—Bruges, at twelve.
The following note, dated the 20th instant, has been
received from the secretary of the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton Railways:—
" In reply to your inquiry of this date, I have to in-
form you that the signature of the allottee will not be re-
quired on delivery of scrip in exchange for the banker's
receipts for the deposit as a general rule, although I
may exercise a discretion of requiring it in any oases
where from circumstances I may think it prudent to do
so, should any such case occur."
The advices from the West Indies aro not very en-
couraging, the small-pox still prevailing in Jamaica,
and the crops being deficient. A communication from
that island remarks:—
" We have to state, with great concern, that the pre-
sent crop in most of the prop-nties in this parish will
fall far, very far short of the estimates formed at its
commehcement. A variety of circumstances have oc-
curred to operate this serious falling off ; sickness,
smxll•pox, drought, and last, though not least, the in-
crease of rats on some if not on all properties, especially
where water courses run through them. Some have
fallen short one-third, and some, with the low state
of the markets, will barely pay their expenses.
The people of the West India colonies have really had
much to encounter within the last three years--in fact
as much as the people of Ireland had, during their seve-
ral potato crop failures, which brought their concomi-
tants, famine and death. Disease and death we have
had in abundance, and gaunt famine is not unlikely to
follow. If a remission of the duties—a total remission,
to keep us from being swamped by slave-grown sugar—
be not determined upon, famine, or something like it,
=A be looked for, without the prospect or means of
preparation."

The Trelawny mentions that the crop generally
will fall considerably short in Hanover. Some of the
estates will finish taking off their present year's crop
next week.

The Falmouth Post mentions that in the agricultural
districts of the parish the estates generally have suffered
a great deal from the long drought which has been
experienced, and from the want of labour, in con-
sequence of the prevailing epidemic. On many pro-
perties which depend on water-power for the taking
in of the crop, the canes have actually rotted
after being cut, the " dryness of the river," as
the peasantry say, having prevented the process of ma-
nufacture from going on. We understand (continues
the Post) that there has been a serious loss of horned
stock, and that the result of these calamities will be the
exportation of a still more limited quantity of sugar and
rum than was originally anticipated.
In the parish of Westmoreland the weather has been
awfully hot, and on the 17th instant there was such a
tremendous sea breeze that the town was almost poi-
soned with dust.
There has been no marked effect produced upon the
Continental Bourses by the Austrian loan.
At lie mburgh last Friday bills on London were lower,
being 13 6i.
There is very little doing either for money or account
in the English Stock Market, but prices keep firm.
