MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 15,000 to 20,000 bales, of which 2,000
American were taken for export, and 6,000 American
and 500 Surat on speculation. The market closed
firmly, and with animation. Full prices were obtained
for all kinds, and Sea Island was -O. to Id. dearer.
The sales comprised 14,000 American, 2,000 "'manna
and Maranham at 6d. to iid., 500 Egyptian at 6d. to Bd.,
1,000 Surat at 30. to 4d., and 50 Sea Island at Is. 4d.
to 2s. per lb.—Railway Shares were flat.
The steamer Baltic brings more specie from the United
States, 185.000 dollars, and a large number of passen-
gers, that augurs most favourably for extended com-
mercial intercourse with Europe. Cotton was still ad-
vancing, but grain was dull.
At the National Bank of Ireland meeting just held
the net profits of 1851 were stated at 21,283/. 6s. 9d.
The report is satisfactory, and more of the bad debts
have been written off, while the reserved fund has been
increased.
The tendency of Foreign Bills of Exchange yester-
day afternoon was rather to advance. Paris was taken
at 25 65 to 67i, Amsterdam 12 2 to 2k, Hamburgh
13 11k to 11,i, and Trieste 12 12 to 12 40.
The Austrian loan seems likely to be engrossed
wholly by the Messrs. Rothschilds and the friends who
feel bound by their intimate relations with them
to take an interest in the same. The
public are perfectly apathetie

but it is im-
possible to conceive that any individual acting
as a free agent would take up the stock as a source
of income, even with the attraction of payment in the
precious metal at the places where the respective amounts
are subscribed. Who, we would ask, in sober earnestness,
has a definite knowledge of the total amount of the Aus-
trian National Debt? Who can place confidence in a finan-
cial system fed by repeated loans, or in a revenue noto-
riously deficient? Who can believe that Austria will
dispense with a large standing army, or re-
gard otherwise than as a mockery the few
thousand florins just struck eff the war budget?
Finally, who would trust a Government that solemnly
engages to psy in current coin, and substitutes paper
enormously depreciated, that posts the agents of police
at the gates of the Bourse, to coerce the capitalist seek-
ing to deal in bills according to the principle of supply
and demand, that orders the arrest and transportation of
respectable merchants *and brokers that refuse to sub-
mit, and then employs its official income to bolster up
the exchange to the ruin of those who simply
believe the improvement will last ? It will need

Railway Shares have been very depressed, and the
carrying over of the account has occupied the brokers,
and affected the quotations. Iho depression is extra-
ordinary in the present state of the Money Market, but
there was about this time last year a nearly similar state
of things, and, if we recollect rightly, a subsequent re-
action. French Shares have not varied to any extent. Mining Shares are steady both as regards Australian
and Californian, but not brisk.
