MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday sin.
juzWer! estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 500
doseelcilnall were taken for export. The market —St.
Bales fiery, without alteration in prices. The 20
comprised 5,500 American, 500 Egyptian, at
S! to is. 2d.; 1,000 Surat, at 341. to 4d.; and 14
Sea Island, at 2s. to 2s. 6d. per lb. Railway

quarters. 22
wlu the existing state of the Money Market, it St.
~a 8 not to be expected but that the proprietors of . 5t.,,,
Zsiltil Sea Stock would follow the same course in ro
tweet
thereto as they did formerly in regard to 20
rtieet4i nullities they hold. Accordingly, at the 50
ng held this day, there has been a resolution 25
tassaed unanimously to accept from Government
Its Iv 111°Iint of the capital, upwards of 3,000,0001. 25
wp, ?Id be erroneous to infer, however, that this

°f the Exchequer, as the repayment will not 20
ue_o.btainahle until next year. 25
There are late accounts from Peru respecting the
25
tahileesgeed discovery there of a new El Dorado, and if 25
re Prove true, even the wealth obtained by the st.
111311?,.1-in from its guano deposits will be far eclipsed. 50
Thee Contercio of Lima gives the following state-
meat ,___ st.
" We have 10

for fiendsits here that his departure hence for Chili has St.

of grain, which even surpasses the marvellous findings 14
California and Australia."
elle -Valparaiso Mercurio, in endorsing fully 2500 i

jejear, and that the Government of Peru is mak- -;.

large scale. 10

`PRE SCREW STEAMER BRILLIANT.—This steamer,
nicli runs between Madeira and Southampton, has
.„3
°ell laid for the summer. She is one of the fastest
ktii, up 20
a dins brigs afloat, but she has recently been fitted with 5
4-1,11 auxiliary screw propeller, which drives her in calms 2
Peen
five knots an hour. This auxiliary power has St.
the
found to answer well. It often happened, before 20
e Brilliant was fitted with it, that she was becalmed St.
Just before she reached Madeira, and was prevented
then from arriving at her destination for days to 15
-
tether. With the auxiliary power this can never °
10
412 en again. It was intended to send her to Australia
tno6.'`l(e out coin and bring home gold dust, and there is 10
"°ubt she would prove the fastest of any ship on that 25
line
,The dearness of Australian gold at the present 10

x-taineri which has been cut down and undergone

tfCay, previous' to her departure next Saturday for St. „
a-:lTias, in the West Indies. She is to run on the Mexi-
-25
ea,l,l"lllph station, which requires a steamer of consider-
Pvver and speed in consequence of the severe
onealstil!r ?xperiencell there. From the speed of the Clyde
mt.'el trial trip, she is likely to prove a valuable acqm
11",:°11 to the West India fleet. She is to be commanded 10
