MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 12,000 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
were higher. The sales comprised about 10,750
American, 70 Pernam and Maranhana at 6a-d., 200 Bahia
at 61d., 500 Egyptian at 6d. to 11d., and 500 Surat at
34d. to 41d. 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 Mores
and the lonian Islands, having been attacked by a
disease of a novel and so destructive a character as to
came serious apprehensions as to the fate of the grow-
ing crop—a disease akin to that which exhibited itself
last year in other countries, and is now committing
ravages 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 commu-
nity, but also much oi, the revenue of the Greek Go-
vernment, this fresh calamity so soon following the rain-
danasged crop of 1850 and the losses from the low prices
of the present season, cannot but 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 Mores and lonian Islands will have
been lost. It must not be concealed, moreover, that, as
this season will undoubtedly be a late one, there may
be a recurrence of the rain-damage of 1850,
_lnd this
apprehension is now giving a fresh stimulus to Currants
on the continent, and driving up prices above the level
of our owe."
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.

The proprietors of the Commercial Bank of London,
it their meeting this morning, have received a very
favourable report. The year's profits are stated at
21,308/. up to the 30th ult., and a dividend at the rate
of 6 per cent, per annum, with a bonus of Bs. per share,
free of income-tax, was declared, leaving 3,0431. to be
added to the reserve Turd. _

The English Funds are very depressed again, and
business is chiefly for actual transfer, speculation con-
tinuing inert. Consols have been 100 k to 1001 for
Transfer, and 1001 for Account. The New Three-aud-
a Qudrter per Cents. have been quoted 1041 to 105 i;
and the Three per Cents. 1003- to 1.01, a decline in
each instance. Bank Stock is still rising, having

The followir4,, letter has been sent by the Committee
of Spanish Bondholders to our Ambassador at Madrid:—

" To the Rtght 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
hendhulders in tho 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 suffici._ntly appreciate the .7.,a1 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 vorbally to your
Lordship the!r gratitude for the pas.; services your Lord-
ship has rendered to the bondholders, and 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 havo the honour to be, my Lord,
"Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,
" J. S. COLLETT, Secretary."

Lord Howden's reply is as flows:—
