MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 12,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 2,000 American and 1,500 Egyp-
tian on speculation. The market closed firmly, and
prices of all kinds were tight. The sales comprised
9,000 American, 2,000 Egyptian at 6id. to 11d., and
1,000 Surat at 3V. to 41d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares
only a limited business was done at previous rates.
By the Renown, arrived at New Romney, there are
advices as late as June 4, from Port Philip. These are
exceedingly favourable again as to the yield of gold and
the general prospects of the colony. In one week
120,0001. has been paid into the Treasury.
In New South Wales the Governor and his daughter
had visited the Southern mines, and their reception was
cordial and respectful. Good order and regularity were
well observed throughout the whole extent of the mines,
which, considering the exciting nature of the pursuit,
must be considered surprising, inasmuch an it is so very
different from the state of things generally existing in
other gold producing countries. This favourable state
was attributable to the excellency of the good regulations
as framed by the Governor. The Colonial Secretary
also seemed much praised for his exertions and bt,siness-
like habits. On the Inveraloch Estate, sixteen miles
from Goulburn, a new discovery had been made ; the
specimens are stated to be elongated, similar to fine wire
slightly flattened from one-eighth to a quarter of an
inch long, but its value was not then known. The tri.
butary stream to the Little River, it was reported,
yielded well. Some of the claims on Bell's Flat
yielded from twenty to thirty ounces per diem. Dry
digging was remunerative.
On the subject of labour, it was considered there would
be no very great difficulty felt, the dependence upon
immigration being thought sure. The neglect of agri-
culture would, it was said, be only temporary, and the
pursuit of gold digging would be abandoned in a mea-
sure for the permanent one of agriculture, after short
experience at the mines.
In the Sydney morning papers a communication bad
appeared containing suggestions for the relief of the
Money market from the depressing influence of gold
upon it. The letter purports to have been written by
two mercantile firms, addressed to the Sydney banks.
The principal proposal:is, that the banks:shouldmake:ad-
vances on gold by their acceptances of bills drawn upon
them at twelve months' date, and payable at Sydney. If
this were done there could be no risk, the acceptances
being based on gold, while the circulating medium would
be extended largely, which would act beneficially.
Accounts from Amsterdam of the 2d inst. mention that
the meeting of the Dutch Rhenish Company had been
held there, and went off very satisfactorily. It was re-
solved that there should be 2,400 bonds deposited in the
Bank, being part of the original loan of 4i per cent., as
security for the same amount of certificates to be issued
by the Direction. Efforts will be made to arrange with
Mr. Brassey, for completing the new lines. Dutch Two.
and-a-Half per Cents. were firmer at Amsterdam, and
also foreign stocks.

There has been again a supply of Money Stock, but
the amount of business done has been sufficient to take
it off and to buoy up prices. Consols have realised 99i
to 100 e, a slight advance. For time the rates have
been par to 1001. Exchequer-bills are 70a. to 733.

In the Foreign-market scarcely any business is doing,
Mexican Bonds have been heavy, at 24 to and Bra-
ilian at 101 ex dividend. Peruvian Six per Cents. have
been quoted 104. Sardinian Five per Cents. have been
quoted 95i to 96. The Turkish Loan is well
supported at 91 to premium. In Spanish the only
bargain is at 6 for the Passive. Converted Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. have boon at 64t. Nominally
Spanish Deferred are 234 10 and the Three per Cents.

Railway Shares have been very drooping and with
very limited transactions; they do not support Satur-

The letter of the Secretary to the Railways Depart-
ment of the Stook Exchange to the Solicitor of Inland
Revenue, puts the question thus:—
"I have been desired to draw your attention to
the difference of opinion which seems to exist on
the subject of the proper stamp to be affixed to
deeds of assignment .0 Railway Companies, Do.
benture Bonds. Until quite lately, we have been
as accustomed to consider the market price or value of
the Bond no element in the calculation of transfer duty,
which, in the old and new Acts, would appear to be
governed solely by the principal money. secured.'
One loading company, however (as advised by its
solicitors), having declined to register the assignment
of a 5001. Bond, upon the ground of insufficient stamp
duty, such insulhoiency arising out of a considerable
premium being paid beyond the nominal amount of the
the Bond, lam desired to request the favour of your
official opinion on the subject, so that the important
dealings in this favourite class of securities may be at
once freed from the doubts which now attach to them."
The reply was as follows:
" Inland Levenue, Somerset House,
London, Sept. 29, 1852.
" Sir,—l beg to reply to your letter of the 27th in-
stant, relating to the stamp duties payable on the trans-
fer of Railway Companies Bonds.
