MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market was
firm, but closed quietly at previous rates. The sales
comprised 4,000 American, 150 Bahia, at 6icl. to 68d.;
800 Egyptian, at 6/d. to 9d.; and 1,000 Surat, at 31d.
to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were active at higher
prices.
The treaty of commeroe between Belgium and the
Zollverein, which expires on the 31st of next December,
will, it is said, lapse before a now treaty can be entered
into.

The ship Derwent, from Melbourne, yesterday, did
not bring later dates, but had about 11,000/. in gold on
board. The Nelson brings, it is said, about 90,0001.
The Honourable East India Company drew bills in
the fortnight ending yesterday afternoon to the amount
of 131,1171. 199. 5d., the tatos being 2s. on Bengal and
Madras, and 2s. o:3d. on Bombay.
The proceeding* at the quarterly general meeting of
the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday,
were not simply of local interest. Many of the subjects
to which the council has of late given its earnest atten-
tion are of general and wide-spread importance. What,
for example, can be more pressing than Customs re-
form? And the energetic merchants of the thriving ont-
port are the very men to agitate for it. The formation
of local boards, with a limited jurisdiction, is justly a
point kept in view, repeated references and appeals to
London being tedious in the extreme. A more difficult
question, with which the council essay to deal, is the
liability of shipowners for acts of smuggling committed
by their crews. We see within the last few days a pal-
pable instance of the vigilance required by the fact of
seizures being made on board the ships of her Majesty's
squadron, but it is not easy to say whether a nominal
responsibility is salutary, because to a certain extent the
constant attention of the captain and officers, knowing
the interests of their employers to be at stake, is
better secured. It may be even doubted whether the least
exertion would be made by the former simply to protect
the revenue, which they would probably not consider to
be their business. It is seldom we hear of a vessel being
condemned in consequence of smuggling, but responsi-
bility must rest somewhere, and it is sometimes difficult
to fix it upon the particular delitiquents among a class
of mon not covetous of the title of tale-bearers. Upon
cheaper postage with America, lower rates of pilotage
in the Mersey and the Downs, and a better system of
commercial law, such as might be promoted by Tribunals
of Commerce, the Chamber at Liverpool takes just
views, and we hope will be persevering in enforcing
theta.
The following is the report just adopted at the meeting
of the East Indian Railway :
" The fifth half-yeerly general meeting has been con-
vened, conformably with the provisions of the Act of
Incorporation.

" The directors on this occasion have to state that the
works between Howrah and tho itana.gtingo Collieries
continue to progress satisfactorily. To complete and
stock this division of the lino some additional capital
will be required. The existing contract with the Hon.
East India Company provides for raising such capital,
and when the proper Limo arrive the option of sub-
scribing it will be given to the then proprietors of the old
shares.

--;" he surveys between Pundoah and Raj mahal, alluded
to in the last report, have been carried to such an ex-
tent as to enable Mr. Turnbull, the resident engineer, to
report upon ale general features of the line, which are
highly favourable to the construction of a railway. Mr.
Turnbull's report is now before the authorities for con-
sideration, and any arrangements that may be made,
founded upon that report, will be announced to the pro-
prietors at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Turnbull's
report is open for the inspection of the shareholders."
English Stocks, as is usually the case after a sudden
rise, have been rather more freely placed upon the
market, and consequently are the turn in favour of
