MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
about 15,000 bales, of which exporters took 2,000 and
speculaters 5,000. The market ruled firm with rather
higher prices. Railway Shares were steady.
The accounts from the United States are to the 7th
inst. The Stock Market was flitter, partly in conse-
quence of an extensive defalcation in a large banking
house, but the individual had not been a speculator in
stocks, as it was afterwards discovered, having invested
his purloined funds in real estate. The fall in quotations
during the week had been 5 to 10 per cent., and several
of the leading fancies were selling at prices lower than had
been known for months. The steamer Ohio having arrived
fromealifornia with 200,000 dol. in gold dust was expect-
ed to give an improved tone to the market. Among the
causes of the existing flatness, we must not forget to
mention the large accumulations of specie in the Sub-
Treasury, rendering the banks cautious in their dis-
counts. The imports br some weeks had been very
heavy, and the paymelts for duties unusually heavy
but the season was draving to a close, and Government
disbursements would aeon circulate the money in the
Treasury. There had been a moderate demand for
exchange in London, at 101 to io The balance of trade
against New York, during the nine months to Sept. 30,
was 5,219,795 dollars. The amount of gold deposited
in the Philadelphia Mitt during the 9 months was over
36,000,000 dollars. The exports of bullion from New
York this year to the 2d inat., had been 21,000,000
dollars.
The Californian news appears to be as encouraging as
ever, and quartz crushing was proving very successful. At
Nevada, one mill, alter 48 hours' trial, turned outi 6,400
dolls. A new amalgamator had been discovered, and was
proving very successful. From the Ist of January to Sep-
tember, 8 marks, 29,195,965 dolls. had been exported in
gold.
From Nicaragua we have rumoured discoveries of gold
mines, about 80 miles from San Juan del Norte. Coal
beds had also been found.
At Valparaiso, on the Ist Sept., flour was dearer.
Freights had materially advanced. Copper ores to
Swansea, 31. 55., and Guano to England 3/. per ton.
The steamer Orinoco, with the West India Mail, has
456,028 dolls. in specie on board, and 200,000 dolls. were
left behind at Panama, in consequence of the state of
the road.

The rate of exchange at Jamaica was I per cent. 90
days, on London. The first departure of emigrants to
Australia bad taken place. The seasons had set in at
Falmoutb, and hopes ire entertained that the next crop
will be abundant. It .a stated that ground provisions
have been very scarce this year, both from diminished
growth and a disease resembling potato rot. The
Jamaica Bank had declared a dividend of 3 per cent., a
tritlng falling off having occurred in the gross profits of
the half-year. The Planter's Bank had been doing
tolerably well.
The following statement from a Trelawny (Jamaica)
newspaper is interesting, and deserves attention :
" The article of sugar has taken a sudden and rapid
rise in price, consequent upon the shortness of our crops
and the exportation of the greater portion of it. Sales
have been e ffected at 251. per hogshead ; and the article
has been disposed of in barrels at the rate of 304 per
hogshead. The peasantry who have acquired property
in this or other parishes are cultivating canes and
manufacturing sugar ; and we aro cognisant of the sales
of several parcels of stgar in this parish, of persons who
are stigmatised in the columns of the British press, as
being squatters, and removed but one shade front the
brute creation.
The Barque Trelawny, commanded by Captain
Molieilage, will take h3r departure, shortly, from this
port for Glasgow, in ballast, a circumstance which is
much to be regretted, but when the difference in the
price If sugar between the Home markets, and that
which it now commands in this country, is considered,
our readers cannot be surprised that parties would ra-
ther dispose of their produce in Jamaica, at a profit,
than risk a loss by shipping the article."
From Demerara the accounts are not quite so satis-
factory, tnd the young canes required more moisture.
The rate of exchange at Haraburgh last Friday was
steady at 13 4/. Money was in more demand.
At Arniteruam, on the 16th inatant, not much was
done in Datch bonds.
The advines received from the Burra-Burra mine, in
tons of ore nn hand at the commencement of June, and
South Australia, are encouraging. There were 4,000
2,000 or 3,000 tons more were expected during July,
August, and September. The English and Australian
Copper Company's smelting works were in operation as
usual.
