MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American and
500 Surat were taken for export, and 700 American on
speculation. The market closed firmly at previous
rates. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 400 Egyp-
tian, at 54-d. to Bd.; 1,300 Surat, at 3d. to 4d.; and 40
Sea Island, at Is. 3d to Is. per lb.—Railway Shares
were very depressed at lower prices.
In the West India advices, received on Saturday, the
following statement is made concerning a storm expe-
rienced at Carthagena, Grey Town, and Chagres. The
river Chagres had risen suddenly and done considerable
damage:—
"It appears that early last month the wind suddenly
commenced blowing very heavily, and continued so for
some twenty-four hours, blowing off the roofs of several
houses in Chagres. The river, meanwhile, had risen full
sixty feet, carrying away several dwellings at Gorgons
and Cruces, also doing much mischief to the railway'
stations at hose places. Two of the houses came down
the river, and carried away to sea four vessels, the
names of which have not reached us. The loss of
property is estimated at a very large amount; but
there was not supposed to be any loss of human life."
The merchants of Jamaica have made a strong move-
ment for the putting of screw steamers on the route be-
tween Kingston and the Spanish Main. Great dissatis-
faction prevailed at the deficient accommodation provided
by the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company was a strong
incentive to exertion, and it was hoped the Legislature
would assist by an annual grant of 4,0001 Kingston
was formerly a great entrepdt for the neighbouring mar-
kets, but is now fast losing this. A committee of busi'
ness men, appointed to report on this subject, state that,
Painfully evident as this must be to all who have re-
flected on the subject, it may not, perhaps, be so gene-
rally understood that exactly in proportion as our pro'
perty has been disappearing, the rival market—St.
Thomas—in our neighbourhood, indebted as it has been
to the partiality of the Royal Mail Steam Company for
privileges and advantages of an important and exclusive
nature, has been diverting from Jamaica a considerable
portion of the foreign trade which she formerly
possessed, and thus steadily advancing while
we have been retrograding. With this painful
fact evident to all, it was natural to expect
that the parties so seriously injured by this
unnatural exclusion from their share of the advantages
derivable from the direct communication formerly
granted to this island would have given expression to
their feeling of disappointment, and accordingly, on re-
peated occasions, have remonstrances and memoriali
gone from this island, not only from its public bodies,
but also from the commercial and other classes assent-
bled in public meeting, It
appears unaccountable that
these well-founded representations have been treated
with neglect and indifference, and have altogether failed
to produce any remedy, but without stopping to renew
remonstrances which have proved so unsuccessful, the
moment appears to have arrived when a combined effort
ought to be made by parties in this island to avail them'
selves to the extent of their own resources, relying upon
.
their own enterprise to obtain the assistance which there
really appears no prospect of getting from the .51e1"
Company."
