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 end 2,000 on speculation. The market
closed very firefly with American dearer. The sales
comprised 8,000 American, 300 Yernam and Maran-
ham at sid. to 74,1, 450 Egyptian at bid. to 11d., and
1,200 Surat at 3.i. to qd. per lb. Railway Shares were
firmer.

The foreign accounts are of no particular interest this
morning. Oa the Continent the Stock Markets were
generally firm at the latest date.
The meeting of the English and South Australian
Copper Company's proprietors,held yesterday afternoon,
was cf an interesting character, not simply to those
having capital embarked, bat likewise to the public
genes ally, who may be concerned for the
prosperity of the colonies. Adelaide, it is well
known, suffered grievously by the desertion of
its labourers for the gold " digging," and several
mercantile failures of importance occurred through the
general interruption to business. Men who had broken
their engagements were returning, as the following from
the company's manager will show:— _

" March 17.
" Our difficulties here, after a duo amount of pa-
tioncP, are now vanishing; the rucaway !urnacemen re-
turned from the diggings in a body last night; many of
them bad not even the gratification of seeing gold, and all
now think that they have been egregiously misled. La-
bour is becoming more plentiful, and the men are much
more pliable. The gold, diggings will yet result to us
beneficially, I think.

" Adelaide, March 13.
" Our bullock drivers have behaved extremely well;
and our business of carting down ore end bringing up
coal has continued briskly, and we have had no further
impediment."

" March 20.
" The correspondence enclosed from the works will
Ehov, you that they are overcoming some of the difficul-
ties of their men, who have returned from the diggings.
Some of the miners are returning to the mine. The
produce of the diggings continues undoubtedly large,
but from three-fifths to four-fifths of the diggers are not
successful, but it keeps the population, still left, very
uneasy and restless."
The latest report of the Burra Mine is dated 16th
February, 1852, from which it appears that the prin-
cipal engine shaft had been sunk 10 fathoms deeper,
and that the lode was found at that increased depth
to continue equally productive as at the 40-fathom
level. An engine of 300-horse power was then being
erected at the mine, which would enable them to keep
the mine fully drained to a much greater depth than the

March, 1851,
in entirely virgin ground, turned out dur-
ing
the year 1851 fully as productive as could be anti-
cipated. There is, therefore, every reason to believe
that the mine, with an adequate supply of labour, will
continue to produce a large quantity of ore for many
years to ccme."

- A most useful book of reference for bankers and mer-
chants is the " Joint Stock and Private Banks' Direc-
' tory," brought out at the special request of several gen-
tlemen connected with banking pursuits; and the editor
has well fulfilled his task, as might have been expected
from his lengthened experience. Correctness is ever the
first, requisite in a publication of this kind, and this
has been ensured as tar as possible by direct ap-
plication to each bank, as well as by reference
to official documents. The Directory contains a statis-
tical account therefore of every bank, lists of all the
shareholders and private partners, a complete digest of
banking law, and all the Acts of Parliament affecting
bankers.

In Foreign Stocks there has been scarcely any busi-
ness doing. Peruvian Deferred Bonds have realised 61
to 624, being rather lower. Mexican Three per Cents.

quiet at 9k. Brazilian Old Bonds have been quoted
102. Austrian Five per Cents. have been marked 83.
Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 55, and Dutch Four
per Cents. 97k.
The Railway Share Market has been, upon the whole,
a little firmer, probably because the settlement is near.
Gold Mine Shares are neglected.
Although we consider, as upon former occasions
stated under this head, that there is an ample number of
gold companies already in the field, and that the pro-
blem whether they will pay has yet to be solved, we are
ready to admit that in the event of their success
there will be room fur more, and that a first-rate
direction of business men, acting in perfect good faith,
may accomplish much. The
