MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The Bales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 12000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The market
was very active at advanced prices; Surat and American
wore id. higher. The sales comprised about 10,750
American, 70 Pernam and Maranham at 63d., 200 Bahia
at 6d., 500 Egyptian at 6d. to 11d., and 500 Surat at
30. to 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull at lower
prices. '
The Indigo sales to-day have gone rather heavily.
Upon the prospects of the Currant crop in Greece we
have the following particulars from Messrs. Witherby
and Hanson:—

"Currants, almost the only article in the colonial
market which had not participated in the late general
reaction, have at length taken a start, and during the
last three weeks have outstripped all other commodities
in their sudden augmentation of value. This has re-
sulted from intelligence of the crop, both in the Morels
and the lonian Islands, having been attacked by a
disease of a novel and so destructive a character as to
cause serious apprehensions as to the fate of the grow-
ing crop—a disease akin to that which exhibited itself
last year in oiler countries, and is now committing
ravaees in the vineyards of Sicily, Naples, and
Northern Italy. As on the issue of the Currant
crop depends not only the well-being of a large C0M131116.
pity, but also much of the revenue of the Greek Go-
vernment, this fresh calamity so soon following the rain-
damaged crop of 1850 and the losses from the low prices
of the present season, cannot bat excite a feeling of
sympathy. The accounts from the places of growth
nearly ail concur in the opinion that over half of the
entire crop of the Morea and lonian Islands will have
been lost. It must not be concealed, moreover, that, es
this season will undoubtedly he a late cue, there may
be a recurrence of the rain-damage of 1850, and this
apprehension is now giving a fresh stimulus to Currants
on the continent, and driving up prices above the level
of our own."
There are accounts from Vienna which give the
Austrian revenue during 1851 at 223,252,038 florins,
and, the expenditure at 278,420,470 florins.
Idle Stock Markets abroad were very steady at the
latest date.
Tee proprietors of the Commercial Bank of London,
at their meeting this morning, have received a very
favourable report. The year's profits are stated at
21,3eg1. up to the 30th ult., and a dividend at Cee rate
of 6 per cent. per annum, with a bonus of Bs. per share,
free cf income-tan, was declared, leaving 3,0431. to be
added to the reserve fund.
The English Funds are very depressed egain, and
business is chiefly for actual transfer, spculetion con-
tinuing inert. Consols have been 100* to 100i1 for
Transfer, and 1001- for Account. The New Three-and-
a Qasrter per Cents, have been quoted 1044 to 1051;
and the Three per Cents. 1008 to 101*, a decline in
each instance. Bank Stock is still rising, having
touched 2301 and 232. Bast India Steck is at 285 to
286. Exehequa-bills of March are 765. to 795. pro-
wiunl, and India Bonds 91$. premium.
Foreign Securities have been very dull, and there is a
want of buoyancy in the quotations. Mexican Stock
has been et 25k, Grenada at 2lf, and Brazilian at 1011.
Spanish Bonds have realised 82 to 83. Peruvian De-
ferred keep steady at 63. Spanish New Deferred Bonds
are 22. Russian Old Seeek is at 120. Sardinian Bonds

The fol:osvirig letter has been sent by the Committee
of Spanish Boedholdors to our Anabassader at Madrid:-

" To the Rtgbt Hon. Lord Howden, K.C.8., &c.

"My Lord,—At a meeting of the committee held this
day, which was summoned in consequence of your Lord-
ship being in London, I was directed to write to your
Lordship, to express the high sense they entertain of the
most efficient services rendered by your Lordship to the
bondhelders in the late negotiation with the Spanish
Government, for a settlement of their claims. The
committee are quite aware that all the success
your Lordship desired, and most certainly
deserved, did not attend the great exertions
your Lordship made on their behalf ; nevertheless
the committee and their constituents, the bondholders,
can never sufficiently appreciate the zeal with which
Your Lordship applied yourselt to enforce a due sense of
their rights.
" The committee wish me to ascertain from your
Lordship whether it would be agreeable to receive a
deputation from them, to express verbally to your
Lordship their gratitude for the past services your Lord-
'hip has rendered to the bondholders, nod also to re-
quest, if opportunity offer, your further aid may be
given to any endeavour which may be made to obtain a
recognition of the certificates issued by the various com-
mittees for the portions of arrears of dividends not
funded by the Spanish Government.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord,
"Your Lordship's moat obedient humble servant,
J. S. COLLETT, Secretary."

Lord Howden's reply is as follows:
" Hereford-street, July 25, 1852.
"Sir,—Having come to-day to Loudon, I had the
honour of finding your most kind letter. The circum-
stance of my not having been in town, will excuee me
for not having instantly answered it.
"I feel greatly flattered, and accordingly pleased at the
expression of regard contained in the communication
which I am now answering, but I feel that any exertions
I have been happy enough to make in the cause of the
bondholders have been greatly overpaid by their kind-
ness already manifested to me, in various ways and on
different occasions. I, therefore, gratefully and re_
me, though at the same time, I am
Tectfully decline giving any gentleman the trouble of
myself of this opportunity to faithfully bind
gealalldiatog
auvpaioll:l
myself to a continuance of every endeavour that it
shall ever be in my power to make in favour of the
much ill-used body of Spanish bondholders, and they
may depend upon me at all times as their willing and
anxious supporter.
Allow me to thank you, Sir, with whom I have had
so much correspondence personally, for the courtesy I
have always met at your hands, and to subscribe myself,
with great truth and regard, very faithful servant.
