MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,500 American and
1,500 Surat were taken for export, and 1,500 American
and 2,000 Surat on speculation. The market closed with
an upward tendency; American *d. per lb. dearer, and
prices of all other kinds were tight. The sales com-
prise 8,500 American, 600 Pernam and Maranham, at
sd. to 51d.; 500 Egyptian, at Sid. to 9d.; 5,000 Surat, at
3d. to 4d ; and 800 Sea sland, at ls. Odd. to Is. Bd. per
lb.—Railway Shares were in good demand at higher
prices.
The Second Chamber of the Dutch States General
met yesterday, and the First Chamber re-assembles to,
day.
The Bourse, at Amsterdam, on the 26th inst., was to•
lerably animated, but prices were lower for borne and
foreign securities. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
17 9-16ths.

An interesting statement as to the railroad question
was made by the Lieutenant-Governor of New Bruns-
wick, upon opening the Legislature recently, and a
strong desire is expressed by his Excellency that New
Brunswick should cordially co-operate with Canada and
Nova Scotia, by accepting in some form the aid proffered
by her Majesty's Government for the promotion of this
object. Referring to a dispatch to be laid before the
Legislature, giving the reasons why her Majesty has
not been advised us yet to assent to the Act passed
last session in aid of European and North American rail-
roads, his Excellency intimates that a Bill, containing
the proposed amendments will be submitted for their
consideration. Bearing upon this subject, we give the
following extracts, which appear to be of interest:--.4, In
my opinion, a railroad uniting Canada, New Brunswick,
and Nova Scotia especially, in connexion with a line to
the United States, would produce an abundant return
to this province. I believe that your revenue would in-
crease very largely without imposing additional burdens
on any one. The millions of acres, now untrodden,
would supply food for man, and the millions
of tons of timber, now standing worthless
in your forests, would find a profitable market. It will,
however, be obvious that the introduction of capital from
other quarters is almost indispensable to the construction
in the province of works of such a character on a large
scale. If you have made up your mind to have railways,
the question is, how can such capital be got? The sur-
plus capital of our own province would go but
a little way; the distances are great, and our
means are limited. You know as well as I do, that to
withdraw a large amount of private capital suddenly
from its present employment, would derange and dislo-
cate the ordinary industry of the country. The
farmer, the fisherman, the lumberer, the merchant, and
the agriculturist would have to forego at oace the use of
sums on which they severally rely for the prosecution of
their business. Although it is no doubt that such an
outlay would ultimately repay itself with ample interest,
yet in the interval, without an advance of capital from
some other source, great distress would be suffered."
The letters received this morning from Holland fur-
nish an account of the meeting of the shareholders in
the Dutch Rhenish Railway. It appears from the pro-
ceedings, which were of considerable length, with re-
spect to the continuation of the line to the Prussian
frontier, the Dutch Government undertakes to advance
to the company a million of guilders at stated periods
from tke time of purchasing the land, &c., to the run-
ning of the first trains. The directors propose
to the Government that the company shall provide any
further amount required. With respect to the Rotter-
dam branch it is proposed that Government shall
allow 5 per cent. interest on the amount required,
say 4,800,000 guilders, if raised by the company, during
the three years that the line is making, or otherwise
advance the said 4,800,000 guilders as a loan upon the
mortgage of the works, without charging any interest.
A special meeting is to be convened when the directors
are able to report more definitely upon these points.
Much greater buoyancy is observable in the English
Stock Market, and large money purchases are making.
According to the rumour current, the Bank of England
is buying, and it is asserted that it has a large sum to
invest. In the existing plethora of money, and with so
little demand fur discounts, it is not surprising
that a difficulty should be experienced in dis-
posing of large amounts of surplus capital,
for in commercial walks there is no speculation to ah•
sorb it. Consols have been 96i 4, and are now 961 1'
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been
quoted 981 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 974 to I*
Bank Stock is worth 2161 to 217, and India Stock 259.
Exchequer-bills are firmer at 58s. to 595. premium. A
fair test of the stability of the market is that it advances
in the face of heavy sales that have been made by one
or two brokers, and which might have been expected to
counteract more strongly the Bank purchases. East
India Bonds are 695. to 71s. premium.
Foreign Stocks, generally, continue quiet, but a move_
ment has occurred in Mexican to the extent of per
cent., the price being 304 to 304. The policy of insu-
rance for the 8,000 dollars, to be be sent from
by Messrs.
Baring, Mexico,
for the dividends, has been opened, we ar,
Baring, Brothers and Co. ; and, within two or three
weeks, there will, probably, be soma arrangement about
the discount of the 2,000,000 dollars of indeuP
nity. Brasil Stock is at 93. Equador Bonds are worth
; and Grenada 154. Spanish Five per Cents. have
been 224 to 23, and the Three per Cents. 401 to 41.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 331 4'
Dutch Stock is at 904 to 4.

Railway Shares are in the ascendant. The principal
lines have risen ito 1 per cent. generally. A great
capitalist has been seen a good deal about the market►
and this gives confidence. French Shares are quiet but
firm. Gold Mines are in request, and dearer.
