MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market closed
with less demand, butprices were steady, a shade against
the buyers. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 100
Pernam and Maranham, at 641. to 64d; 20 Bahia, at
64d.; 800 Surat, at 31d. to 40.; and 300 Sea Island, at
Is. 14d. to Is. 7d. per lb.—The Share Market was steady
at rather firmer prices.
To-day there is a complete lull in the Colonial Pro-
duce markets, and no public sales of Sugar or Coffee are
in progress.
lu review of the past month's transactions in produce
Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbnry state that—" Since
the reduction in the rate of discounts by the Bank on
the 22d ultimo, the foreign and colonial produce markets
have been favourably influenced; importers for some
time past have evinced firmness in their demands, the
range of prices being extremely low for many articles.
The stocks in the hands of dealers are below the ave-
rage, and, with increased confidence, a very heavy busi-
ness has been done both by public sale and by private
contract, at improved rates. The chief amount of tran-
sactions has been for legitimate trade, and but little on
speculative account; this gives the markets a healthy
tone, which at present promises to continue.
The imports have been very moderato, conse-
quent upon the continued contrary, wind, but a
r change having at'ilength taken place, large arrivals will
ensue. The accounts from the continental markets re-
pert a steady demand for produce, with an upward ten-
dency in prices. Dyes and dyeing materials have been
in good request during the past month, prices generally
are higher, and as present rates are really mod erate, it
is confidently expected they will further improve."
The new light thrown upon the pi eition of the gold
companies of California that hold leases horn Colonel
Fremont, in consequence of the Nouveau Monde agents
having considered it advisable not to take possession of
the property assigned to them, and upon the assump-
tion that the Colonel's title is still involved in doubt,
may probably lead to counter explanations, but it is
stated that Colonel Fremont is at present in Paris, and
consequently not iuformed of what has occurred.
The letters for India via Marseilles will be dispatched
on the evening of the Bth inst. The Mexican mail is
now due.
The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 3d inst., was
steady for home securities. Nothing particular was done
in foreign.

THEATRE DES VAILIETES, LINWOOD GALLERY.—
A new style of entertainment took place here on Monday
night, and met with the most complete success. The pro-
gramme consisted of a concert, a duologue supported by Mr.
Lea and Miss Mathews, The Sew Feature, and concluded
with a laughable entertainment, in which Mr. Lee repre-
sents seven different characters, called Miss Slammerton's
Suitors. The great novelty, however, was The New Feature,
with, as the bill informed us, " entirely new scenery, cos-
tumes, and appointments, and supported by sixteen British
subjects." Prior to the commencement of the play, a dimi-
nutive little fellow, with a tremendous display of waistcoat
and white cambric, which rivalled the great Jullien, came
forward and delivered, in the Marionette style, the opening
address. The curtain rose and we then found out that the new feature" was the pretty little piece called The Sw,ss
Cottage, supported by living Marionettes, the prompter b
givin,
the word and the children the action. The piece
_e pro. was re-
ceived with great applause, and the idea must
nounced most successful. The little fellow who gave
part
of action of Nate was exceedingly clever. The musical
of the entertainment was ably directed

EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL.—The number of
emigrants dispatched from Liverpool for the United States
during the last Month was 25,492, the largest number that
ever sailed in one month. The next greatest number was that
in the corresponding mouth of last year, when 24,000 and
upwards left that port. The increase in April, as compared
with March, was about 1,000. The greater proportion of the
emigrants are German and Irish, chiefly agricultural la-
bourers. The emigration for Australia by means of Govern-
ment aid is also very considerable. Between the 7th and I
26th of last month three vessels with 926 emigrants sailed
from the depot at Birkenhead, and on the 12th and 18th
instant two large ships will tail thence for Augralia with
