MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The great anxiety which was experienced during the
whole of yesterday among the merchants, for the arrival
of the British Queen steamer, from New York, has nos;
subsided, as she arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, hay-
ing performed the passage in 13 days 22 hours. She
has brought a freight of 700,000 dollars, besides re
mittances to the amount of one million sterling. Tin
intelligence she brings from the United States is of mueli
the same description as previously received by the
Sheridan, that money matters were still in an unsettled
state. One of the new city banks had suspended
specie payments, but this bank was considered of little
importance ; still great fears were entertained thdt
other banks would be obliged to follow the same ex-
ample, owing to the great drain of specie which hat,
gone on for three months past. The Exchange comes
10 to 10i ; United Bank Stock 1031.
We have received by the Montreal Papers, to the
29th September, the comparative statement of the ar-
rivals, tonnage, and passengers at the port of Quebec.
to the 22d September inclusive, for the years 1838 and
1839 :

LIVERPOOL COI TON MARKET, TUESDAY.—The
transactions in our Cotton Market to-day have been to a
fair extent, without material alteration in prices ; the
sales 3,500 bags, of which, 1,000 tai,en by exporters.

The report which prevailed that the Directors of the
Bink of England had refused to discount certain bid,
sent up from the country, does not agree with what
took place yesterday. It is stated that the Bank Di-
rectors, in the course of yesterday, discounted bills of
every class, and having every kind of endorsement.
THE FUNDS.
This being pay-day in the British Market for the
settling of the Account yesterday, we have no doubt
that all drafts for the differences will be duly honoured.
It is also settling day in the Foreign Market, as
well as paying and receiving the various balances of
accounts, whic chiefly occupy the attention this mor-
ning of the brokers and jobbers.
