MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 3,000 American and 1,500 Egyp-
tian were taken on speculation. The market closed with
a hardening tendency, American id., low Egyptian
id., and good id. per lb. higher. Tne sales comprised
10,000 American, 400 Pernum and Maranham at 6d. to
7ii., 300 Bahia at 68d., 4,000 Egyptian at 61. to h.,
and 500 Surat at 34d. to 44d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares
only a limited business was done.
The six weeks' average official price of wheat is 425.,
and the last week's sales were 106,800 quarters.
The ship Blundell has arrived from Port Philip, but
her dates are not later than the 17th May. A few in-
termediate items of interest will servo to illustrate the
subsequent information wo have as to the extraordinary
productiveness of the mines, and among them we take
the following:—
The rains having now fairly set in, the road to the
Diggings is again thronged with thousands, wending
their way up, accompanied with dray loads of the neces-
saries of life. The extravagant rate at which everything
is charged at the Diggings, has caused a great many of
the more successful diggers to come to town, and provide
themselves with stores sufficient to serve them over the
winter months. _

" That great success is still attending many of the
diggers, the following instance which occurred this
week will show. George Day's party of three returned
to town with 250 ounces of gold, which they
dug out of one hole at Friar's Creek, in the short
space of a fortnight, thereby realizing about 1,2501.
each; and many cases of nearly equal success could
be reported weekly, were it necessary to detail them, as
a convincing proof of the productiveness of the Victoria
Gold Mines over all others. A glance at the ar-
rivals by escort, and of the quantity of gold exported
weekly, will at once show this. A new feature has
appeared lately in the disposal of gold by the
diggers, which shows that the quantity they are
procuring is greatly on the increase. Instead of offering
30 or 40 ounces as formerly, it is now usually 6or 81bs.
weight; and, notwithstanding the great increase in the
quantity, the price has kept firm at 61s. The Govern-
ment gold of 5,000 ounces was tendered for and ac-
cepted at 61s. 3d."

It was proposed to build a new " wooden town" a
short distance from Melbourne, for the especial accom-
modation of tbo numerous parties who would flock back
from the mines during the winter.
It is stated in a communication from Melbourne, that
the supply in the labour market was by no means equal
to the demand. Parties would only engage weekly, and
marrried couples and shepherds were much wanted.
It is not yet known whether the Blundell brings any
specie.
The advices from the West Indies and Mexico, by
the Parana, have come in sooner than was expected. On
the whole they are, both in relation to the seasons, the
state of the public health, and the growing crops, of
rather a more favourable complexion. The amount of
specie on board is 1,374,766 dollars.
The Amsterdam Stock-market on the 28th inst. was
duller for Dutch Bonds, but very brisk for Spanish.
The following is an extract of the letter received this
morning by the Committee of Spanish Bondholders
from their agents, Messrs. Powles, Wilson, and Co.,
dated Bogota, 27th of August, 1852 :
" We have not written to you lately, expecting from
month to month to bo able to give you
some decisive answer from the Government,
relative to the dividends, but the Government has
been harassed with so many domestic cares, such im-
mediate and pressing wants, that to all our applications
the only replies have been, that the state of the
country during tho last eighteen months has pre-
vented that attention to the business which the
Government anxiously desires to give to it. That
nothing would bo more gratifying than being
able to pay punctually their foreign creditors ;
but the Minister of Finance always adds that
he does not see whence the means are to come to pay
the increasing interest; that the.country will not be able
to pay.

4.111 s one of the chief causes of disquietude and expense
has now ceased, viz., General Flores' expedition against
the Equador, wo shall take an;early opportunity to hold
another conference with tho Government relative to the
bondholders' claims.

"By a statement of the director of public credit there
is now in the hands of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.
19,968/. 18s. 3d. towards the overdue dividends."

The English Funds are rather heavy this morning, in
the absence of any sales of importance. Consols bring
par to 100 k for Money and Account. Exchequer-bills
have realised 70s. to 735., and East India Bonds 83s.
to 86s. prm. East India Stock has been quoted 276 k.
In the Foreign Market., there have been, important
changes in Mexican. Upon a statement in the morning
papers, that 329,217 dollars had come forward for the
dividends, the price rose to 26, but when it became known
that this was part of the indemnity money, and not a por-
tion of the customs' receipt, and, further, that the political
intelligence was very unsatisfactory, a rapid decline en-
sued, 25 to k being the nearest rates. It appears that
the country is in a most critical situation. The crisis,
indeed, in the view of parties writing over, has at length
come. At Tampico Santa Anna bad been declared,
almost without opposition, and this example was likely
to be followed. There are parties who con-
sider that his dictatorship would be a boon
to the country, but we recollect sufficient
of his corrupt administration, his pandering to the mili-
ture, to entertsiu *just
tary and his extravagant expendi
