MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 Pernam and Ida-
ranharn were taken for export, and 1,000 American on
speculation. The market closed heavily. The sales
comprised 5,000 American, 550 Pernam and Idaranhatn
at 61,d. to 74d., 200 Egyptian at 64d. to 9d., and 300
Surat at 3d. to 44d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a large
business was done at steadily advancing prices.
A return made to Parliament shows that last year there
were seven imperial officers of customs in Canada paid
1.3681. out of the revenues of the United Kingdom, in
Nova Scotia 18 paid 3,7891., in New Brunswick six paid
1,5801., in Prince Edward's Island two paid 5741., and in
Newfoundland four paid 8801. The nature and duties of
these officers are explained thus :—ln consequence of the
repeal of the imperial duties of customs in the North
American coloniet., under the operation of the Act
of the 10th Victoria, c. 94, the Imperial
officers have ceased to be receivers of customs' duties,
which are now levied and collected by cffioers specially
appointed for that purpose by the colonial Governments
of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunwick, Prince Ed-
ward's Island, and Netoundland. Hence, there being no
longer any Imperial custom-houses for the collection of
revenue in those colonies, the return has been framed
and prepared to meet the existing state of things.
It is to be observed in explanation, that the
Lords of the Treasury, with the view of pro-
viding for certain duties connected with Im-
perial interests, have deemed it expedient that cer-
tain officers should be stationed at the principal porta of
those colonies, who aro called comptrollers of customs
and navigation-laws, with assistants acting under them,
whose salaries are entirely defrayed out of the revenue
of the United Kingdom.
Their duties aro to enforce the provisions of the
Aot of the 12th and lath Vict., c 29, entitled " An Act
to Amend the Laws in force for the Encouragement of
British Shipping and Navigation;" also the provisions
of the Imperial Act of 8 and 9 Viet., c. 89, entitled
" An Act for the Registering of British Vessels;" and
to take care that the various prohibitions and restric-
tions prescribed by the British Possessions Act of the
8;h and 9th Vict., e. 93, are duly enforced; to verify
the manifests of all British vessels clearing for the
United Kingdom in the manner required by
the Customs' Regulation Act of the Bth
and 9th Vict , c. 86, as. 3 and 4 ; and to
grant certificates of clearance for all vessels clearing for
the United Kingdom, as prescribed by the 36th section
of the 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 86, and the 22d and 23c1 stc-
tions of the British Possessions Act of 8 and 9 Victoria,

c. 93, in order to entitle goods to be ontered as being of
and from any British possersion (if any benefit attach to
such distinction), and to enforce the provisions of the
last recited Act, sotions 24, 25, 26, and 27, which
prohibit vessels laden with wood goods clearing;
from parts in the North American Colonies, at certain
times of the year, with any part of their cargo on deck,
And it is also their duty to observe, so far as the same
may relate to the British possessions abroad, the
Passengers' Act of the 12 and 13 Viet., c. 33, and 14
c. 1; and the Merchant Seamen's Acts of 7 and
8 Vi ,:t ,c. 112, and 13 and 14 Viet.' c. 93.
It forms a materiel part of the duty of the Comp-
trollers of Customs and Navigation Laws to fur-
nish the Inspector General of Imports and Exports,
and the Registrar-General of Shipping iu London, with
the various statistical returns, which are necessary to
enable those offieers to prepare the various accounts of
trade and navigation which aro annually required to be
laid before Parliament,
In the Amsterdam Stock .Market on the 28th inst.,

The rates for Bills of Exchange on Paris, Amsterdam,
Hamburgh, end most other places, were rather lower
agein yesterday afternoon.
The Consol Market is flat again, and there is very
little doing. The quotations have been 1001 There
