Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
mated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 Pernam and Ma-
ranham were taken for export, and 1,000 American on
speculation. The market closed heavily. The sales
comprised 5,000 American, 550 Pernam and Maranham
at 614. to 74de 200 Egyptian at 614. to 9d., and 300
Surat at 3d. to 44-d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a large
business was done at steadily advancing prices.
A return made to Parliament shows that last year there
were seven imperial officers of customs in Canada paid
1,3681. out of the revenues of the United Kingdom, in
Nova Scotia 18 paid 3,7891., in New Brunswick six paid
1,5801., in Prince Edward's Island two paid 574/, and in
Newfoundland four paid 8801. The nature and duties of
these officers are explained thus :—ln consequence of the
repeal of the imperial duties of customs in the North
American colonies, under the operation of the Act
of the 10th Victoria, c. 94, the Imperial
officers have ceased to be receivers of customs' duties,
which are now levied and collected by officers specially
appointed for that purpose by the colonial Governments
of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunwick, Prince Ed-
ward's Island, and Nefoundland. Hence, there being no
longer any Imperial custom-houses for the collection cf
revenue in those colonies, the return has been framed
and prepared to meet the existing state of things.
It is to be observed in explanation, that the
Lords of the Treasury, with the view of pro-
viding for certain duties connected with Im-
perial interests, have deemed it expedient that cer-
tain officers should be stationed at the principal ports of
those colonies, who are called comptrollers of customs
and navigation-laws, with assistants acting under them,
whose salaries are entirely defrayed out of the revenue
of the United Kingdom.
Their duties are to enforce the provisions of the
Act of the 12th and 13th Vict., c 29, entitled " An Act
to Amend the Laws in force for the Encouragement of
British Shipping and Navigation ;" also the provisions
of the Imperial Act of 8 and 9 Vict., c. 89, entitled
" An Act for the Registering of British Vessels;" and
to take care that the various prohibitions and restric-
tions prescribed by the British Possessions Act of the
Bth and 9th Vict., c. 93, are duly enforced; to verify
the manifests of all British vessels clearing for the
United Kingdom in the manner required by
the Customs' Regulation Act of the Bth
and 9th Vice, c. 86, as. 3 and 4 ; and to
grant certificates of clearance for all vessels clearing for
the United Kingdom, as prescribed by the 36th section
of the 8 and 9 Victoria, c.,86, and the 22d and 23d sec-
tions of the British Possessions Act of 8 and 9 Victoria,
c. 93, in order to entitle goods to be entered as being of
and from any British possession (if any benefit attach to
such distinction), and to enforce the provisions of the
last recited Act, scstions 24, 25, 26, and 27, which
prohibit vessels laden with wood goods clearing
from parts in the North American Colonies, at certain
times of the year, with any part of their cargo on deck.
And it is also their duty to observe, so far as the same
may relate to the British possessions abroad, the
Passengers' Act of the 12 and 13 Vict., c. 33, and 14
c. 1; and the Merchant Seamen's Acts of 7 and
8 Viet., c. 112, and 13 and 14 Vict., c. 93.
It forms a material part of the duty of the Comp-
trollers of Customs and Navigation Laws to fur-
nish the Inspector General of Imports and Exports,
and the Registrar-General of Shipping in London, with
the various statistical returns, which aro necessary to
enable those officers to prepare the various accounts of
trade and navigation which aro annually required to be
laid before Parliament.
In the Amsterdam Stock Market on the 28th inst.,
Dutch Stock had a tendency to decline, and Austrian
and Mexican were lower, as well es Venezuel -. In
Spanish no change. Dutch Two-and-a-Half I3r Cents.
are 63k to 3-16.
The rates for Bills of Exchange on Paris, Amsterdam,
Hamburgh, end most other placer, were rather lower
again yesterday afternoon.
The Consol Market is flat again, and there is very
little doing. The quotations have been 100/ There
appears to he no immediate cause for the
prevailing heaviness, end probably the forthcoming
elections have most to do with it. The New Three

and•a-Quarter per Cents. have been 104/ to j, and the
Three per Cent. Reduced, 101 to 101 k. Bank Stock

is maintained at 225. Exchequer-bills of June have
been 693. to 723, and India Bonds 89s. to 91s. premium.
The settlement of the account in the Foreign Market
now occupies chief attention, and there is not much ge-
neral business doing. Mexican Bonds have been
up to 27k Buenos Ayres have 1 eon
steady at 78. Grenada Bonds are support 7-1 still
at 91 to 10. Austrian Scrip is 3, to
4i premium. Spanish Three par Cent,s. have been 494
to 50, and the Deferred 221 to Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cent!" ere at 64k, and Sardinian at 94f.
This is the concluding day for the Share Account, and
payment of differences is being made. The market
is very buoyant, and although the speculation and
purchasing for a rise lately had made the account
" bullish," there are influential brokers who are taking
up shares on behalf of their client'', so abundant.
