MONEY AND C6MIVIERCIALNEWS

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY. —The demand
fi r cotton continues to be extensive, and the full quotations
of last Friday have been obtained. Sales 5,000 bags,
chiefly American.
The Liverpool sales commenced on the 313 t ult. The
attendance of buyers was very numerous, and for the Aus-
tralian and Van Diemen's Land wools the bidding was
very spirited, the prices realized being fully equal to the
late London sales.
We have no arrivals this morning of importance.
It appears that previous to the apprehension of Captain
Elliot, by the Chinese, he had issued a circular which
was addressed to her Majesty's subjects, which profes-
sed to have received its origin in the desire Of the
superintendant to place trade on a sure footing, and inspire
confidence in the Chinese, as the Hong merchants had re-
presented to Captain Elliot that they considered then!'
selves in personal danger, in consequence of other vesseis
entering the river besides the passage boats, to which li;
cences bad been granted by their Government. AR?.n'
Captain Elliott was of opinion that their fears were wa
grounded, as he (acting as her Majesty's Snperintendent)
had given assurances to the Chinese authorities, that the.
arrangement concluded should be faithfully adhered ter
and which he remarks, it is evidently the interest of the
British merchants to abide by ; he requires in this Circtl-
lar that all small vessels, British owned, other than those
having licenses, should leave the river immediately 81,a'
not return, expressing his intention to announce to the,
Celestial Government the names cf all such as do not
corn ply.

NARROW ESCAPE OF ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY LIVES. —On Tuesday forenoon, on the steamer,
Bonnie Dundee nearing St. Andrew's Bay, she observe'
another steamer lying, without any smoke issuing from
the funnel, and two sloops, with sails furled, at a little dis-
tance. On inspecting her through a glass it was 013-
served that she had something like a signal of distress
flying. The captain of the Bonnie Dundee imrne'
diately bore down, and, on nearing the vessel, which
proved to be the Benledi, the scene was appalling in the
extreme. The vessel was in a sinking state, and the pas'
sengers in a state of great excitement shrieking for assist-
ance. After some little unavoidable delay in getting the
vessels properly placed alongside, they were made fast, and
a plank being laid between the paddle-boxes, upwards of
150 passengers, it is believed, were rescued from a watery
grave. The occasion of the disaster, we are informed, was
the bursting, of one of the blow. off pipes, which having egress
under wit' er, made a leak of such extent that in ten minutes
the fires were drowned, and the vessel had sunk fully four
inches. The Benledi was on her passage from Edinburgh
to Dundee at the time of the accident.—Dundee Advertiser
