MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken on
speculation. The market closed firmly, and in American
the tendency in prices is upwards. The sales in-
cluded 200 Pernam :and Maranbam at bid. to 7d., 1,000
Egyptian at 6d. to 10d., 600 Surat at 3id. to 4d.,
and 30 Sea Islands at Is. sid. to 2s.—The Railway
Share Market was heavy, and prices lower.
The continental mails have been retarded a little by
the boisterous weather.

The state of affairs in our Australian colonies, conse-
quent on the discovery of gold, and the ten-
dency to lawlessness which that has excited,
must occupy considerable attention among all par-
ties here connected with them, and unquestionably the
most recent advices from Port Philip inspire the
apprehension that a perseverance in the system
of transportation will severely test the loyal of
our countrymen at the antipodes. In sending
last year to England a special and able
delegate, Mr. J. C. King, the inhabitants of Victoria
cfl.3red the strongest test of their sincerity, having sub-
scribed a very large amount to forward the object in
view. Strange to relate, however, the very circumstance
upon which their delegate relied, as a forcible argu-
ment against transportation, viz , the discovery of gold,
confirmed Earl Grey in his previous obstinate and
one-sided view. His Lordship contended that labour
would be scarcer than ever, and therefore that even con-
victs would be acceptable, while he slurred
over the danger arising from the introduction
of bad characters, and the check which would be given
to free immigration thereby. The colonists, moreover,
conceive themselves insulted by the assertion of the
late Secretary, that the expires are generally
very little inferior to the bounty emigrants,
although the criminal statistics of the colony
show that these are, for the most part, the renewed
perpetrators of various and grave offences, to say
nothing of their contaminating influence upon all
around them. It is true Van Diemen's Land
or any colony asking for the introduction
of convicts, principally obtains them, but it is
also true that tickets of leave and conditional par-
dons are so freely granted to the numerous hardened
prisoners who from practice are perfect in hypocrisy,
that the neighbouring settlements get over-run
with them, and may yet do as the Cape of Good Hope
colonists did, resist their landing vi et armis. At a
large public meeting held in Melbourne to take into con-
sideration Mr. King's dispatches, the probable necessity
of such nn extreme course was mooted, although the
speakers were manifestly averse to anything like dis-
loyalty. The question now is, whether Sir John
Pakington will be more conciliatory, and adopt a dif-
ferent policy.
It is reported in American circles that Mr. Thomas
Baring, of the firm of Baring Brothers and Co., is about
to proceed to the United States, charged with a special
mission from our Government, to endeavour to arrange
the fishery dispute. This appointment would give much
satisfaction on the other side of the Atlantic, where the
antecedents of Lord Ashburton and family, as
well as business connexions, would ensure Mr.
Baring a cordial reception. It is certain that this gen-
tleman was not preent yesterday at the meeting in aid
of the sufferers by the Montreal fire, and that recently
he has had several interviews with Mr. Lawrence, the
American Ambassador here.

After official hours yesterday there was a great deal
of excitement with regard to Consols and Shares, the
quotations of which fluctuated very much, and this
morning the market presents a heavy appearance, at-
tributable in part to the damp weather and the
probable damage done to the growing crops.
Consols have been 981 1 at one time, then 981
and are now quoted 981 1 for Transfer, and 981 a for
September, after being 984 1. Owing to the fluctuation
which has prevailed, and the loss which speculators for
a rise have sustained, one or two failures have
occurred, the settlement of the account being now in pro-
gresi,. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. aro
102 to 1. Indian Stock is at 2791 to 280. Exchequer-
bills are 745. to 77a. premium. The gold from Aus-
tralia by the Agricola and Tasmania amounts to over
48,0001.

ever, at 24,-1 to 25,1,-. Spanish Deferred about 211 to
