MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken on spe-
culation. The market closed firmly. The sales com-
prised 6,000 American, 50 Pernam and Maranbam at
64d. to 6icl., 500 Egyptian at sid. to 10d., and 500 Surat
at 38d. to 4id. per 10.—Railway shares were dull at
lower prices.
By the ship Prince of Wales, arrived at Portsmouth,
there are advices of May 8, from Sydney. This vessel
has gold on board, but the amount is not yet ascertained.
In the week previous to date there had arrived at Sydney
from the " diggings" about 5,000 ounces. The total
amount of gold obtained in Now South Wales and
Victoria since the gold discoveries were made was
3,654,348/. calculated at 65s.per ounce, and of this 160,000
ounces were supposed to be still at Melbourne and Sydney
in private hands and at the banks. The accounts from the
" diggings" were still encouraging, and the rains that
had fallen would facilitate operations. It was supposed
the revenue of New South Wales would, ere long, be
1,000,000,1. For gold seeking licenses alone as much as
46,171/. had been received in New South Wales, and
74,0791. in Victoria. The number of persons ar-
rived at Sydney durieg the first year of the
gold discoveries, the twelve months being considered to
have expired in May, was 14,915, but 6,733 had left
again, principally for Port Philip. The anniversary of
Mr. Hargreave's public announcement of his discoveries
had been celebrated at Bathurst by a dinner given to
him. The latest prices paid for gold were 635. 6d. to
645. per ounce. Exchange in London for drafts against
gold was at 8 per cent. discount and freight per
cent. Freight for Tallow was at 355. and 5 per
cent., and for Wool id. to id. per lb. The Import-
market at Sydney was dull, except for fire-arms,
brandy, canvass, and winter slops.
The fate of Dr. Leichhardt is stated to have been
ascertained. He is said to have been murdered, with
all his party, at the creek called Bunderabella, 150 to
200 miles up the country. The party who gives this
account verifies it with his name.

Tho Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 16th inst., was
buoyant. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 64k,
Portuguese were higher, and Spanish in request.
The following are extracts from the report of the
Southampton Dock Company, passed at the half-yearly
general meeting just held:—
" The accounts to the 30th Jeer, 1852, now submitted
to the proprietors, exhibit a progressive increase of re-
venue, amounting on the half-year to 1,3581. 115.11 d.
over the gross earnings of the corresponding halt year of
1851. The balance to the credit of the revenue, after
payment of the interest on the debenture debt, of the
dividend on the preference stock, and of all the work-
ing expenses, repairs, &c., amounts to 1,2241. 55., and
enables the directors to recommend a dividend, clear of
income-tax, of 3s. per sh,,rp; which, although less than
the dividend of the last half-year, is a considerable im-
provement upon the result of the half-year to the 30th
June, 1851. The directors have the pleasure to report
that the New Close Dock is working satisfactorily; that
the increased earnings attributable to that dock have
already in the first half-year since its opening, fully co-
vered the whole of the interest on its cost; and that in
conjunction with the Open Dock, it has placed the com-
pany in a position to receive and to accommodate satis-
factorily such further large amount of trade as would
yield a profitable return upon their capital."
The English Funds aro rather heavy again, and the
continuance of heavy, rains in different parts of the
country still inspires uneasiness. Consols have been
quoted 98i to 99i for Transfer and 99 to for Account,
the quotations at the moment of our writing being, for
the former 99 to k and the latter 59* to 4. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 102.1. to 103.
Bank Stock is at 224 to 225. Exchequer-bills are 745.
to 775., and Indian Bonds 88s. premium,

Foreign investments have been comparatively quiet.
Mexican Bonds have been steady at 2:4, Grenada firm
at 2,i for the Active, and the Deferred have risen sud-
denly from 8i and 9to 104 to Buenos Ayres Bonds
aro at 72. Austrian Scrip is worth 4i. Sardinian
Bonds aro marked 94i. Spanish Stock is rather im-
proving, as far as can be judged, the Deferred being
about 2tj to 22. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
631, to 64.

The New Granada Company is said to have obtained
a favourable concession for carrying out its objects.
Hence the above rise in the stock.;
The Railway Share Market has been flat, and there
have been numerous sales in Msdland, North-Western,
Great 'Western, East Lancashire, Oxford and Wolver-
hampton, chiefly speculative, and said to be for account
of provincial jobbers. Foreign shares aro very quiet.
Just now shares are better.
Nouveau Monde Mine Shares aro a shade better. In
other mines there is nothing doing.
