MONEY AND COMMERCIAL

INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK, 71113 DAY.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, of which
4,000 American were taken for export and on
speculation. The market was animated and closed
firmly. The sales comprised 220 Pernam and
Maranham at 6V. to 712 d., 40 Bahia at 6/d.,
1,000 Surat at 3d. to 50., and 600 Egyptian at
6d. to 10d., and the remainder nearly all American.
Railway Shares were firmer.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 48s. ld.
Per quarter.
Al the Upper India Railway meeting which has
just concluded, the terms arranged by Lord Joce-
lyn for an amalgamation with the East Indian
Railway have been confirmed. The capital recognised
of the Upper Indian line is three millions, giving
about six-sevenths iu the new shares for the existing
scrip. The Upper India Shareholders become
henceforth, therefore, East India Shareliolders,
and, as such, entitled to the benefit of the issue of
extension shares which, from time to thne, will doubt-
less be needed. The guarantecisnotyet fixed, but is
fully understood that will not be less than 4-.'s per
cent. Lord Dalhousie writes most favourably of
the advantages to the country of railway communi-
cation, and Sir Herbert Maddock stated at the
meeting this morning that he expected the Upper
India line will pay 10 to 15 per cent. on the
capital, owing to the dense population. The
meeting passed a unanimous recognitiion of the
valuable services of Mr. W. P. Andrew, the
founder of the company, and an old and expe-
rienced writer upon post-roads in India, and
expressed a hope that his services may be made
available by the amalgamated company.
The English stock market has been firm, but
there is not much doing. Consols have been 98g.
for transfer and account. The New 31 per Cents.
have been at 101 to 102, and the 3 per Cents. 99
to 1. Bank Stock is worth 228 to 229, being
firmer. India Stock is steady, at 256 to 2574. The
value of Exchequer Bills is lower, being 2s. dis-
count.

Consols now are flatter, at 98g, owing to the
proposed committee of the Commons as to paying
off dissentient holders of South Sea Stock, Sic.
Foreign Securities have been very quiet but firm.
Spanish Deferred are at 23b, and the Certificate
at 6. Venezulean Stock is worth 3n. Peruvian
Old bonds are supported at 84, and Mexican 26i
to 27. Danish Bonds are 861, and Russian V, per
Cents. 101 k. Dutch 4 per Cents. are maintained
at 971 to 98.
The Railway Share Market is firmer, although
with very little doing. Oxford and Wolverhampton
have decidedly improved, and North-Western are
better. French Shares are inactive. The settle-
tient enarosses chief attention.
The Gold Mine Shares are not in the least re-
quest.

The Australian Banks are supported, but the
Laud Companies are weak.

11 SINGULAR OPERATION.--111r. Stephens, of St. Bu
deali; near Plymouth, having felt poorly for some time
Past, and experienced considerable pain of a sharp prick-
a' description about the region of the breast, some days
since consulted Mr. J. Little, surgeon, of Devonport,
,who was of opinion that Mr. Stephens must have swal-
lowed a pin or a needle, or some such thing, and advised
an operation, with a view to its removal. The patient
consenting, an incision was made, and presently the
of the pain, by the employment of forceps, was
skilfully and quickly removed. It was found to be a
small needle. It was completely discoloured—having
assumed a black hue. Mr. Stephens is now doing well.
INCREASE IN THE CRIME OF PERJURY.—No less than
ten bills have been returned at our present assizes for
the crime of perjury, which appears to be so rapidly on
the increase that the judges throughout the present
summer circuit in their charges to the grand juries, hare
expressed their determination to inflict the severest
penalty of the law—transportation--against parties
found guilty of a crime so heinous. Indeed, no man's
life or property can he safe, if such parties are to escape
itla impunity,
