MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted
to about 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were for
export, and 1,000 ditto and 1,000 Egyptian were taken
by speculators. The market closed steadily, ,but Ame-
ricsn sold at rather easier rates for the middling sorts.
The sales comprised 1,000 American, 300 Pe•rnam and
Maranham at Eiid to 71d, 1,200 Egyptian at 6 d. to 7id.,
aed 500 Surat at 34d. to 411.—The Railway Share
Market was quiet, but prices were firm.
In the Colonial Markets, this week, business has been
quiet. Crifee has risen in consequence of the Treasury
order sent down t the Excise resp-sting an enforce-
ment of the Excise regulttion, that Chicory shall not be
mixed before sale with Coffet.. Sugar has been rather
weaker, Rice firm, and in Saltpetre, Rum, and T.llow,
there has b. en no particular change. Tea has been more.
dealt in, Cotton is scarcely so dear, and Cochineal con-
tinues in favour. The Me:al Mat ket uppers to be in a
satisfactory condition, and dried fruit is firm, owing to
the bad accounts from the places of growth.
The Trs-asury Order concerning cnifory (which ap-
pears in another column) is, by many of the trade, con-
sidered too stringent, and the growers of chicory think
it should be allowed to be mixed by the grocers, if sold
as a mixture.

Advices, dated April, have been received frim Mel.
Wairne, Victoria. The following is trtpm Ballarat:—
" If I cannot write of large yields I can report a steady
result remunerative to the diggers. The scarcity of
water prevents that enterprise waich other wise would be
br..ught into play from developing itself, and confines
their
present operations to a limited tract on the
flat trending towards Yuille's station. Brilliant
reco)lec:i .113 of a few months past mill exercise a
powerful effect, and the gold digger hugs close to the
Golden Point, as the mariner of old to the sea board—
but soon as the winter ruin comes on, hill and gulley
will be explored, with a result I venture to predicate
that will rival any success as yet recorded. There are
some parties here who have dune remarkably well,
many who have suet with signal success, and others, as
ever will ho the case, who have been entirely unsuc-
cessful. (3he party on the ground, lam 'wormed,
had made 2,0001 in a very short period. A
party of five shared three pounds weight on Saturday
last, the result of a week's work; another told me th»t
his party was clearing from seventeen to twenty ounces
per day; and Messrs. Dunlop and Co., a party I believe
of five in number, realised 1,100/. in about a month.
But these instances of success must stand apart; they are
lucky sir_ kes of fortune that neither foresight
or skill can attempt to parallel, for a gold
digger may be often within an inch of a fortune,
and yet miss it; may throw down pick and
shovel in disgust or despair, and leave the prize for the
next comer to turn up, perhaps at the first spit-full.
The uncertainty of gold digging is demonstrated, it de-
monstration were needful to illustrate that which has
become proverbial by the present state of the flat,
where there are holes which have proved wondrously
prolific, but which are out-flanked for many a yard, uy
other holes, which have proved complete failures. Ex-
perience is at fault with regard to gold-seekin
