MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
tak€n for export and on speculation. The market was
firm, but closed quietly at previous rates, The sales
comprised 4,000 American, 150 Bahia, at 6id. to 6,31;
800 Egyptian, at 61d. to 9d.; and 1,000 Surat, at 3/d.
to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were active at higher
prices.
The treaty of commerce between Belgium and the
Zollverein, which expires on the 3lst of next December,
will, it is said, lapse before a new treaty can be entered
into.

The ship Derwent, from Melbourne, yesterday, did
not bring later dates, but had about 11,0001. in gold on
board. The Nelson brings, it is said, about 90,000/,
The Honourable East India Company drew bills in
the fortnight ending yesterday afternoon to the amount
of 131,1171 19s. sd. the rates being 2s. on Bengal and
Madras, and 2s. Oid. on B:mbay.
The proceedings at the quarterly general meeting of
the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday,
were not simply of local interest. Many of the subjects
to which the council has of late given its earnest atten-
tion are of general and wide-spread importance. What,
for example, can be more pressing than Customs re-
form? And the energetic merchants of the thriving out-
port are the very men to agitate for it. The formation
of local boards, with a limited jurisdiction, is justly a
point kept in view, repeatcl references and appeals to
London being tedious in the extreme. A more difficult
question, with which the council essay to deal, is the
liability of shipowners for oats of smuggling committed
by their crews. We see within the last few days a pal-
pable instance of the vigilance required by the fact of
seizures being made on board the ships of her Majesty's
squadron but it is not easy to say whether a nominal
responsibility is salutary, because to a certain extent the
constant attention of the captain and officers, knowing
the intere3ts of their employers to be at stake, is
better scoured. It may be even doubted whether the least
exertion would be made by the former simply to protect
the revenue, which they would probably not consider to
be their businese. It is seldom we hear of a vessel being
condemned in consequence of smuggling, but responsi-
bility must rest somewhere, end it is sometimes difficult
to fix it upon the particular delinquents among a class
of men not covetous of the title of tale-bearers. Upon
cheaper postage with America, lower rates of pilotage
in the Mersey and the Downs, and a better system of
commercial law, such as might be promoted by Tribunals
of Commerce, the Chamber at Liverpool takes just
views, end we hope will be persevering in enforcing
them.

The following is the report just adopted at the meeting
of the East Indian Railway:—
" The fifth half-yearly general meeting has been con-
vened, conformably with the provisions of the Act of
Incorporation.

" The directors on this occasion have to stats that the
works btwcen Howrah and the Ranegenge Collieries
cont;nue to progress satisfactorily. To complete and
stock this division of the lino some additional capital
will ba required. The existing contract with the for
East India Company provides for raising such capital,
rnd when the proper time arrive the option of sub-
vribing it will be given to the then proprietors of the old
shares.
" The surveys hetwem Pundoah and Rajmahal, alluded
to in the last report, have been clrried to such an ex-
tent as to enable Mr. Tutnbull, the resident engineer, to
report upon the general features of the line, which are
highly favourable to the construction of a railway. Mr.
Tuinoull's report is now before the authorities for con-
sideraton, and any arrangements that may be male,
founded upon that report, vOll be announced to the pro-
prietors at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Tutnbull's
report is open for the inspeclon of the shareholders."
