MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The r,ales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American and
500 F.surat were taken for export, and 700 American on
spe(Julatiou. The market closed firmly at previous
vises. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 400 Egyp-
tian, at 51d. to Bd.; 1,300 Surat, at 3d. to 4d.; and 40
Sea Island, at Is. 3d to Is. 8d per lb.—Railway Shares
were very depressed at lower prices.
In the West India advices, received on Saturday, the
following statement is made concerning a storm expe-
rienced a; Carthagcna, Grey Town, and Chagres. The
river Chagres had risen suddenly and done considerable
dam age :

"It appears that early last month the wind suddenly
commenced blowing very heavily, and continued so for
some twenty-four hours, blowing off the roofs of several
houses in Chagres. The river, meanwhile, had risen full
sixty feet, carrying away several dwellings at Gorgon&
and Cruces, also doing much mischief to the railway-
stations et those places. Two of the houses came down
the river, and carried away to sea four vessels, the
names of which have not reached us. The loss of
property is estimated at a very large amount; but,
there was not supposed to be any loss of human life."
The merchants of Jamaica have made a strong move-
ment for the putting of screw steamers on the route be-
tween Kingston and the Spanish Main. Great dissatis-
faction prevailed at the deficient -accommodation provided
by the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company was a strong
insert' n exertion, and it was hoped the Legislature
would &mist by an annual grant of 4,0001 Kingston
was merly a great entrepot for the neighbouring mar-,
kets, but is now rest losing this. A committee of busi-
ness men, appointed to report on this subject, state that,
" Painfully eviceut as this must be to ail who have re-
flected on the subject, it may not, perhaps, be so gene-
rally understood that eaactly in proportion as our pro-
perty has been disappearing, the rival market—St.
Thomas—in our neighbourhood, indebted as it has been
to the partiality of the Royal Mail Steam Company for
privileges and advantages of an important and exclusive
nature, has been diverting from Jamaica a considerable
portion of the foreign trade which she formerly
possessed, and thus steadily advancing while
we have been retrograding. With this painful-
fact evident to all, it was natural to expect
that the parties so seriously injured by this
unnatural exclusion from their share of the advantages
derivable from the direct communication formerly
granted to this island would have given expression to
their feeling of disappointment, and accordingly, on re-
peated occasions, have remonstrances and memorials
gone from this island, not only from its public bodies,
but also from the commercial and other classes assem-
bled
in public meeting. It appears unaccountable that
these well-founded representations have been treated
with neglect and indifference, and have altogether failed
to produce any remedy, but without stopping to renew
remonstrances which have proved so unsuccessful, the
moment appears to have arrived when a combined effort
ought to be made by parties in this island to avail them-
selves to the extent of their own resources, relying upon
their own enterprise to obtain the assistance which there
really appears no prospect of getting from the Mail
Company.'

Tfie American advices by the steamer Africa are good.
Money at New Yurk was plentiful, and the prospects_
for the spring trade are favourable. The amount of
bullion arrived from California was extraordinary, and
the Chagres steamer, over due on the 14th inst., Was
expected to bring two or three millions of dollars. The
abundance of cash is demonstrated by the circumstance
that bids for eight millions of Erie Railway bonds were
received where only three millions were requirea•
As the season advances capital, it is said, will become
still more abundant, and speculation more extended,
while legitimate trade will probably increase very weell'
The demand for foreign exchange had been actiTe•
Au alteration Wa3 contemplated in the silver currency`
which by law was circulated below the valued n Europe•
In the state of New York last year there were 244
banks doing business.
The Californian advices are a few days later again' ;-
and continue very favourable; indeed the mining in.
telligence is highly encouraging, and the Pre-
spect Lever was better for an increased PT!'
duction. Abundant rains had fallen in the au"'
ing districts, and this winter, owing to the superior ,
accommodation enjoyed and the formation of villages
and hamlets, there will not be the usual suspension o!
labour. We are told that some Spaniards took 300,01:7,
dollars out of ()se hole a few feet square in a week,
the southern placers, and that a fortnight afterwards1
several thousand persons were there. The canal in the
Great Bear valley was to be finished on the Ist instant.
and would add enormously to the products of the state'
the San Francisco dates are December 15. The opera-
tion of the quartz crushing machines had been wesfr•
successful, and the result is likely to be greater than the
most sanguine had anticipated. Whatever expectation
have been formed here or elsewhere, relative toth
supply of gold produced in and exp i
orted from Cali-
fornia during the present year (1852), it is said there s
little doubt but that they will be realised.
