EVENING-, SEPTEMBER 17. 185°1

with cries of ' Viva l'Empereur !' M, Charles Dupin,
in presenting to him the Council-General of the Mem),
which ho presided over last session, recurred to the
wish unanimously expressed by its members in favour
of the stability of the Government, end he added that
the whole population had just given, on the day on
which be spoke, a marked approval of that wish. The
Prince, after having thanked the council for the mani-
festation of its sentiments, terminated in these words:—
When the question relates to a matter of general in-
terest, I always endeavour to get the start of public
opinion, but I follow in its wake when the matter con-
cerns an interest which may appear to be personal.',"
The Moniteur contains a report from M. FoRToUL,
the Minister of Public Instruction, to the PRINCE PRESI-
DENT of the Republic, setting forth the great advantage
of preserving the popular ballads of France, whether
written in pure French or in provincial idioms, and
recommending to have a collection of such composi-
tions made and published. A decree follows from
the PRESIDENT, dated St. Cloud, September 13, ap-
proving of the recommendation given, and directing
that the collection so given shall be called the Recueil
general des Pages populaires de la France.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market was
tame but closed firmly; American were a shade higher,
other kinds without alteration. The stiles comprised
6,000 American, 150 Pernam and Maranham at 6id. to
6id., 30 Bahia at 6id., 150 Egyptian at 6id. to Bd.,
and 500 Surat at 34d. to 44d. per lb.—Railway Shares
were dull at lower prices.
In most articles of consumption there has been a good
business done this week, and prices have been fully sup-
ported for sugar, Ceylon coffee, tea, rice, &c. The con-
sumption goes on steadily.
A merchant ship, the Ilelaae, has arrive from Port
Philip, but her advices are not of such late date
as those previously to hand. In the ordinary
course, unless the India mail anticipates it, we
ought now to expect later news by sailing vessels,
and in November the steamer of the Royal Australian
Mail Company will be back. It is then that we shall,
in all probability, have important information concern.
ing the gold mines, because the staffs of some
of the companies, sent out at an early period
will have got to work, and be enabled to form an opi
nion as to their future success. Under proper manage-
ment, indeed, no one can doubt of this, but the public
will very naturally be anxious to have facts and
results, and, quiescent as they may be at pre-
sent, they would manifest great ardour, wo may
assume, as they usually do when a rich reward appears
to invite. The true policy, however, seems to bo to
purchase when securities rule low rather than after they
have risen, provided investigation has satisfied the party
buying that the depression has not arisen from any
other cause than mere inertness, misapprehension, or
timidity.

The Overland Mail is telegraphed with Calcutta dates
of August 8, but we have no details yet.
The letters for America will be taken out to-morrow
by the steamer Canada.

From Amsterdam, under date of the 15th inst., we
aro informed that the business transacted in Dutch
Stock was at about previous rates, the Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. being 64/. Spanish Bonds were rather
firmer; Portuguese very feeble, and Russian steady.
Stocks are looking better here this morning, but with
as little doing in them as for some days past. Consols
have been 99'41 to par for Transfer, and 99i. a for Ac-
count. Exchequer-bills of March were at 745. premium,
and India Bonds at 84s. premium. East India Stock
was at 227, and Bank Stock at 228.

Some of the Foreign investments are again rather
fluctuating, the settlement of the half-monthly ac-
count being in progress. Brazilian Old Stock has
been at 103} to 104. Mexican are firmer at 25k, and
Grenada Deferred keep steady at 12i 4. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have again realised 384 to 39k, and
Spanish New Deferred, 231 The Turkish Loan has
not been higher than 941 to 8. Danish, French, and
Dutch Stock have been comparatively dull.

The Railway Market has been more buoyant, and
tho circumstance of the account being got through
seems to be in their favour. Belgian and French shares
have been very brisk.

Gold Mines are steady. The Mutual are I, and the
Cordillera about i premium. United Mexican have
risen about 11.
