MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
There was a good demand for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day ; sales 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken for export
and on speculation. The market closed steadily.—Bailway
Shares were dull at lower prices.
The funds at the disposal of the Bank of England were
still accumulating in the week to the 15th inst., and the em-
ployment of notes was not augmented. The discounts and
loans appear likewise to have fallen off, and the balances of
private parties increased. Compared with the previous week,
the changes are as follow:

The last accounts froin the Sandwich Islands give in-
teresting particulars of the late volcanic eruption in Manna

Loa :-- -
"By an accurate measurement of the enormous jet of
glowing lava where it first broke forth on the side of Manna
Loa, it was ascertained to be 500 feet high. This was upon
the supposition that it was thirty miles distant. We are of
the opinion that it was a greater distance, say from forty to
sixty miles. With a glass the play of this jet, at night, was
distinctly observed, and a more sublime sight can scarcely
be imagined. A column of molten lava, glowing with the most
intense heat, and projected into the air to a distance of 300
feet, was a sight so rare, and at the same time so
awfully grand, as to excite the most lively feelings of awe
and admiration, even when viewed at a distance of 40. or 50
miles. The diameter of the jet is supposed to be over 100
feet 1 In some places this river is a mile wide, and in others
is more contracted. At some points it has filled up ravines
of 100, 200, or 800 feet in depth; and still it flowed on. It
entered a heavy forest, and the giant growth of centuries l
