MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY; TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000 bales all to the
trade. The market was flat, and prices of all kinds
Were drooping. The sales comprised 110 Pernam
and Maranham, at NIL to 60: ; 110 Bahia, at
6d. to 6ifl ; 200 Egyptian, at qd. to lid. ; 200
Surat at 3id. to 41d., and the remainder American.
Railway Shares were flat at lower prices.
The ship Chance, arrived at Callao, had Mel-
bourne accounts of December 9, but the tenor of
them is not known.

The steamer Forerunner, with the African mails
on board, brings 2,0000 z. of gold.
The Niagara furnishes late dates from the United
States and Canada. The mercantile advices read
well, and the yield of gold in California was large.
The steamer Orinoco brings about 190,0001. in
specie on freight, 45,000 dollars being for the Mexi-
can bondholders. The accounts from Mexico lead
to the conclusion that Santa Anna will certainly
return to power, whether, however, to be more
successful than his predecessor, remains to b: seen.
Mr. Falconnet's letters are not so late as the
Published advices.
From Jamaica we learn that the expected proro-

gation of the House of Assembly had not taken
Place. Nothing had been done in reference to
granting supplies, the revenue bills were in abey-
ance, and by some it was considered that the ses-
'lion would last till April.
There had been a flood at Port Maria, and the
roads were impassible owing to the overflow of the
Westermost river. The water is described as hav-
Lug rushed through the houses and stores.
The inhabitants in Stennetts Town had been
driven from their houses, the water having
attained the depth of 5 feet, but subsequently it
had quite subsided. In Annotto Bay the flood had
been tremendous, heavy rains having prevailed.
The bridge on the Annotto River was entirely de-
-I,,reyed, • earth, trees, poultry, pigs, goats, and
houses being carried away. Most of the stores on
640 Bay suffered severely. Business was entirely
Zu!Pended, all communications with the interior
;eing cut off. Falmouth, Hanover, Westmore-
and and Montego Bay had suffered also. Much
injury had been done to the cane fields.
The suspension of payment of Mr. George Hen-
)lett, the railway contractor, has been announced,
and the liabilities are said to be large.
The Arctic Company is receiving, it is stated,
very good support, and the Share list will be closed
en Saturday. It is obvious that parties who join
8210/1 an undertaking must do so with the object of
giving it full support as a jpational experiment,

here and in Aberdeen.

In French Shares there is very little doing, but
