COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, MARCH 9.—The stock and money troubles
of Wall-street continue, and the former grew quite seri-
ous in the forenoon, from the continued stringent calls
of the banks on their demand loans. These loans are
mostly made subject to call, without an hour's notice,
and they are now being used to strengthen the position
of the banks with each other, for their daily or weekly
ettlements.
The market for breadstuffs is quiet, and prices rule at
very nearly the same rates as at the last advices, West-
ern Canal flour being quoted at 4 dols. 87c. to 5 dols
steady ;
G-euessee wheat, 1 dol. 22c. to 1 dol. 24c. ; In-
dian corn, round yellow, 64 dol. 66c. well supported ;
Indian meal, 3 dol. 25c. to 3 dol. 374 c.
The following are the latest quotations in our cotton
market :—New Orleans and Mobile, mid fair to fair,
ilic. to 12c. ; Uplands and Florida, Hie. to 111 c. per
lb.
The provision market is dull, and prices have a down-
ward tendency.
The rates demanded for freights are rather easier than
those last reported. Flour to Liverpool was taken at
2s. 6d., and part to fill up at 2s. 6d. ; corn at 71d., and
Wheat on private terms ; tobacco, 30s. To Havre, bone
Was taken at ic. ; cotton at ic. ; and rice at 8 dole. to
10 dole. _ .

Exchange on London was dull, at 1094- to 1091 ; Paris,
t 124 ; Hamburgh, 364, to 36i ; Bremen, 80 to 814.
NEW ORLEANS, March 4.—The sales of cotton to-day
Were 8,000 bales, at steady prices ; middling is quoted at
Bc. to 9c. The sales of the week are 60,000 bales ; the
increase in the receipts at all the southern ports over
the same time last year is 539,000 bales. The Hum-
boldt's news came to hand this afterno9n after business
hours. 10,000 brls. Ohio flour sold to-day at 4 dols. 123 c.
to 4 dols. 25c.

available squadron of ships in commission fitting and

We have not the slightest fear that the services of
any of the ships either ready or in reserve will be re-
quired to act hostilely; but should an emergency arise,
the world will see from our lists that we can muster, at
comparatively a few hours' notice, three or four fleets of
the strength of that most expert and compact force
now under Vice-Admiral Dundas, and by which the
means and resources of the gallant and poplar Com-
mander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean may beimme-
diately strengthened.

OUR NAVAL RESOURCES.

Up to five o'clock yesterday, none of the men-of-war
had left Spithead ; but the squadron there, both sailing
and steam men-of-war, was ready for service, and all
fully manned, with the exception of the London, 92, Cap-
tain Mundy. This ship is now about 120 short. The
squadron consisted of the following ;--

_
Guns. Men.
Prince Regent
London
__Bso Capt. Mundy.

STEAMERS.

Guns. Men. h.-p.
Sidon
Odin
Leopard l6 300 560 Capt. Gifford.
Me°,,mra (screw) 8 162 350 Com. Johnson.
All the above may be said to be ready at telegraph
notice for foreign service, for the London's complement
could be easily filled up from the ships in harbour. The
Agamemnon is a screw-ship of 91 guns. A large por-
tion of her crew are laid up with scarlatina, and more-
over she is about 130 blue jackets short of her comple-
ment of 850. The great screw three-decker the Duke
of Wellington, 131, is fast progressing in her equipment,
and, it is reported, will be out of the hands of the dock-
yard by the middle of next month. She has about 500
on her books out of her complement of 1,100, but her
600 vacancies are for seamen. The screw steam guard-
ship Blenheim, 58, Captain W. H. Henderson, is ready
for service, with a full complement of 480 officers and
men.

But in addition to the above, and two or three
steamers, we have at Portsmouth the following, which
are now termed advanced ships, are to be kept ready
for sea, and, though Rot in commission, are also to be
kept ready to hoist the pendant and to receive men:—

PRUSSIA

The King of Prussia, on the Bth inst., addressed
the commanders of the troops assembled for the
grand manoeuvres in the following terms :

" I ought, first of all, to thank Prince Radziwill for
the manoeuvres executed this day, for I never beheld
anything of the kind finer. The satisfaction which
I expressed yesterday at the admirable appearance of
the troops, I repeat to-day on another point. I re-
marked that everywhere order, calm, firmness, and
uniformity were to be observed in the movements.
Each man fulfilled his task. The cavalry of the
landwehr, which has so many difficulties to over-
come, has admirably performed its duty on this
classic ground. The manoeuvres executed to-day by
the army were the image of a past time full of
glory. I hope that this day will not be lost for my
army, and that it will bear its fruit. That which a
long study in the closet does not give has been re-
alised in the most evident manner by the manoeuvres
of this day, viz., that glorious feat of arms of 20,000
Prussians being conquerors over 60,000 men ; that was
thee day of glory for the cavalry, in the same way as some
weeks after the infantry signalised itself on another
battle-field. "What gave so great a superiority to the
great king may be summed up in a few words—it was
the precision of the infantry movements, and in what
relates to cavalry, the initiative in attack. But that
perfection cannot be attained in a moment, and in face
of the enemy; such persons as imagine that would fall
into a gross error. To arrive at that point, it is neces-
sary to labour hard during peace, and the commanders
of my army who aim at attaining that object will be
worthy of my approbation. Let my army know that it
has afforded me full satisfaction."

The police of Berlin paid domiciliary visits to
about 20 persons who had acted as brokers in trans-
actions in the funds and in corn, without being
licensed. Their papers were seized. In the after-
noon, the police expelled from the exchange all
unlicensed brokers, arrested several, and sent some
who had no fixed domicile at Berlin away from
the capital.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—You are right, it is the penny that is of the
greatest importance. It is to preserve this value that
every effort must be used.
Pounds are grown from pennies.
It is at the same time most desirable that the decimal
system should be brought about.

Could not the present halfpenny become a cent? Then
two cents. would represent this all-important penny.
As silver is rising the florin becomes a dollar. The
sovereign would make a 5-dollar piece. Great excep-
tion will be taken to the use of cents and dollars as too
democratic. But look at the advantages ;in conjunc•
tion with America, we should soon have dollars and
cents all over the world. The Chinese merchant un-
derstands the dollar.--Your obedient servant,
A. L.

How was the change from the pound to the dollar
effected in the States ? If any, what difficulties at-
tended it ?

LODGINGS IN MELBOURNE.—So great are the priva-
tions which new emigrants are put to on first landing on
the wharf, that they are glad, as far as the limited
" accommodation " will admit, to sleep in the iron
boilers that are lying about there in all directions. For
this apology for a place of shelter, the iron owners exact
2d. a night for a " ground floor," and 4d. for an "upper
storey."—Australian and New Zealand Gazette.

DRUR Y-LANE.

The crowded houses here every night almost lead one
to hope that the palmy days of old Drury have returned,
and that the statue of Shakspere on the vestibule will
no longer wear that gloomy aspect which has been so
frequently noticed of late. Mr. Gustavus Brooke,
whose performance of Othello was so rapturously ap-
plauded on the opening night, has gained additional
laurels in the characters of lago, and Sir Giles Over-
reach, in both of which he displays to advantage those
wonderful dramatic powers which he is now generally
admitted to possess, and which the public had almost
began to despair of ever finding in a modern actor.
To witness his Sir Giles Overreach last night, pit, boxes,
and galleries were crammed, and at the end of the piece
Mr. Brooke received an ovation of praise, of which the
greatest primd donna at the Opera might be proud. It
is to be regretted that his stay in this country is so brief,
for such a star for a season might redeem the fortunes
of the house, and preserve it for some time longer, at
least, from the desecration of wild beast shows, bal
masques, and tumblers.

THE CITY MONUMENT OF THE GREAT
DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

This day has been appointed for the decision of the
corporation committee upon the choice of a model from
the number of magnificent specimpns of sculpture which
are now in the Guildhall. The committee, in accordance
with the direction of the corporation, will select six
artists, who are to be applied to to compete for the mo-
nument. A period of three months is to be allowed for
the production of the models, and the artist of the ap-
proved model is to be entrusted with the execution of
the work. The unsuccessful are each to receive 100
guineas as a remuneration for the trouble and anxiety in
producing their models, and the models are to become
the property of the corporation. About 20 models have
been received at the Guildhall. They are all locked in
the extensive enclosure at the western extremity of the
hall, and the committee have given orders prohibiting
the admission of any person not a member of their body
until after the choice shall have been made.
