MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK..
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti'
mated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market closed
firmly and was well supplied with American at 4id. to
Pernam and Maranham at kid. to 6d., Egyptian
sd. to 6d., Surat 3d. to 3id., being about the same terms
as on Friday last for all kinds, except, perhaps, 4jd. to
4id. Cotton, which is a shade against the buyer.--
Railway Shares were rather better.

The -business done in eolonial and foreign produce this
week has been to a moderate extent, but the supply of
most articles having been abundant, prices rule in favour
of buyers.
Upon the progress of the movement for Tribunals of
Commerce, we have a report by the honorary secretary,
Mr. Francis Line, together with the opinions of influ-
ential parties as to his exertions and cases ;of hardshiP
under the present operation of the law. Mr. LIDS
justly observes that—

" The difficulties which stand in the way of introducing
a subject of such magnitude in its several bearings to
the merchants of the greatest commercial city in the
world can scarcely be estimated by those who lisle
never been subjected to the task. For, even though th°
advantages of the scheme may be pointed out with great
clearness, and almost with an absolute certainty, there
still remains the most difficult part of the labour to be
performed—that of convincing men long accustomed $0
a certain routine of action that the change is desirable,
yet I am happy to discover that this stubborn desire
to adhere to old customs is not without its 1)016°'
inasmuch as it has brought to my aid, after matee
deliberation, the assistarco of those whose caution'
habits and experience in commercial pursuits are the
safest guarantee that no step will be taken with mimes')
or without the most deliberate investigation; prompted
at first by partial success, I was induced to hope for
future aid from those who were not disposed to meet WI
v iews. at the outset; and I have the highest gratification
in being able to say that many of those gentlemen to
whom my first application was unsuccessful have since,
come forward in the most liberal manner in support 01.,
the cause."

Mr. Lyno then acknowledges tho aid received from tb°
press, which has, given the movement so much publicitiA
that the great American Republic has already prepare
a draft of an Act of Parliament to lay before its Leglsa
lature, and then proceeds to state—
"ln our colony, in Australia, the matter has been
publicly acknowledged as one of great importance in
promoting its future commercial prosperity. To theee.
may be added, the countenance I have received from all
the leading commercial towns of Great Britain, includ'
ing Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, &c., &c.
" This, gentlemen, is the position in which the cell
now stands, that twelve months since was comaten°
under my own private exertions.
'w
" The total amount of subscriptions I have received'
from February, 1851, to December, 1851, amount to
6281. 125., and the expenses to the end of Octoheri
amount to 2851. 3s. 3d., which left a balance then °T.
3431. Bs. 9d. I have acted as the treasurer;
have received all the money that has bee
subscribed (and it is still under my control). I fixe,i
upon the bunkers for its deposit, and, by myself anti
my clerks, paid the money to those bankers.
the monetary transactions relative to this movemen
have been under my sole management—the expenditurie
'
left entirely with myself. I wilt, therefore, only tad°,
that I have exercised the greatest economy, I have bs`a
the books kept with great care, and now invite a pabho
inspection of the accounts.
" There is one point, gentlemen, to which I am de'
airous of directing your attention, before I cow'
c!udo this report, and I do this as a matter of dull
as well as of principle, and that is, that
may be favoured with your opinion, as to whether Sou
desire that I should continue to hold the same position
in which I was placed by the t xpress desire of those
gentlemen who attended the meeting, presided over by
the Lord Mayor, on the 19th of February, 1851'
Should I r, ceive your favourable approval, I shall the.l!
take an early opportunity of laying before you te's
course which I have been recommended to pursue. 133
should you deem it desirable to transfer the matter into
other and more able hands, I shall bow to your decisioe;
and rest in the full assurance of having exerted maY best
endeavours to promote a cause that I trust will one daY
contribute to the happiness and advantage of the Brinell
empire."
Mr. Lyno mentions that he has received from fir.
Joseph Hume and others strong expressions in favour °_
his exertions, and of the hope that justice will be done
to him for them.
The private letters by the Overland Mail refer
to
glowing terms to the gold discoveries of Port rbiliP'
and all that has before been stated falls short 10 the
comparison. The yield near Geelong exceed'
by far anything heard of within a similar space to
California.
The London Joint-Stock Bank declared a dividend
yesterday at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, with
bonus of 7s. 6d. per share.
The failure of Mr. James Berry Adams is announced
from Cork.
The Funds have been steady, but the settlement of the
Account has engrossed most attention. Consols have
1-
touched 96a afor Transfer, and 96 for Account. The, 4
i
present ra'es are 96-a for Money, and 96

Foreign Securities have been very quiet, and not alto-
gather so buoyant. This is a mere re-action after the
recent improvement, and the arrangement of the
account is connected with it. Illexican Bonds have

Railway Shares have been less dealt in, but bring ge-
nerally fuller prices.
