MOITEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 500 American
were taken on speculation. The market closed
flatly. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 180
Pernam and Maranham at 6141. to 6id., 250 Egyp-
tian at 6d. to .1.1 d., 400 Surat at 3id. to 4Jd.,
and 100 Sea Island at ls. 9d. to 2s. 9d. per lb. In
Railway Shares only a limited business was done
at previous rates.

The letters by the steamer from the United
States notice the usual indications of the opening
Spring business. In the three weeks to February
19, the trade of New York showed a balance of
8,311,000 dollars of imports over exports. The
shipments of breadstuffs were very large at the
latest date, especially to Australia.
It is in the papers that several of the American
Coal Companies were doing badly. The Cumber-
land yield was particularly small. Several mines
had been purchased in other parts of the United
States, and we fear there is an intention of raising
the capital in London so as to sell them at an en-
hanced value.

The North Carolina Copper Company were to
sell at auction on the Ist of March, at the Mer-
chants' Exchange, one hundred tons of pyrites, of
about 30,per cent. in richness. The recent great
and rapid rise in the market value of copper, would
no doubt attract a large number of purchasers to
this sale, and prices considerably above offers made
would without doubt be realised. The North Caro-
lina Copper Company has not been in operation
many weeks, and upwards of 200 tons of ore have
been marketed. If the product continues at this
rate—the dividends of the company must be enor-
mous.

It was reported that the bill passed by the Legis-
, lature of Pennsylvania, authorising a settlement
of the account between the State and the United
States Bank, would be vetoed by the Governor.
The British barque Larne arrived at Panama on
the 14th inst., with advices from Melbourne, Aus-
tralia, to the 27th of November. Several Ameri-
cans have returned from those auriferous regions—.
none of them with less than 3,000 dollars, and some
of them with upwards of 20 pounds in weight of
the fine metal. 'Several of these gentleman were
passengers on board the United States.
Accounts of Feb. 13, from Panama, state that
business had become duller again.
The Directors of the Royal West India Mining
Company are compelled to dissolve the company,
and will return the deposits in full, for the following
alleged reasons
" When the charter *al? conceded, in May last, the
terms upon which it was to be issued were endorsed upon
the draft copy, by Mr. Booth, one of the principal
secretaries of the Board of Trade, and by him forwarded
to Mr. Bellenden Ker, for his guidance. Pursuant to
these instructions, Mr. B. Ker approved of the draft in
the month of November last. In February, the direc-
tors having fulfilled the terms required of them, as to
the amount of subscribed capital, &c., applied for the
issue of the charter, under the concession of May, when
to their astonishment, they were told that the same had
been cancelled in November last, two months before the
settlement of the draft by Mr. Bellenden Ker, the Board
of Trade's own counsel, and this without any notice or
intimation of any kind, direct or indirect, to any par-
ties connected with the undertaking. After using every
eiertion to induce the present Government to waive
official routine in favour of substantial justice, and to
grant the charter conceded by the late Board of Trade,
but without success, the directors have no other alterna-
tive than to return the proprietors the amounts of their
several subscriptions."
Very late accounts have been received from Aus-
tralia, by the Overland Mail, viz., to the 28th
December from Sydney, and 10th January from
Adelaide. These entirely dispel the idea of a con-
tinued falling off in the yield of gold, the quantity
obtained when these accounts left being reported
to be larger than ever, and nearly 100,000 diggers
were stated to be on the various gold fields, whose
average earnings were estimated at one ounce per
man per week. Trade was brisk, and prices of
most articles, with the exception of flour, were
supported.
The letters by the Overland Mail from India
are expected to be delivered this afternoon.
The lonian Bank has declared a half-year's divi-
dend, to Dec. 31, at the rate of five per cent. per
annum. •
The Funds have been very firm this morning,
with limited transactions. Consols are 100 to k
for Money, and 100 f for Account. Exchequer
Bills of June are steady at 10s. to 145., and those
of March at Bs. to 12s. premium. India Bonds
are 455. to 475. premium.
Foreign Securities have been affected by the ar-
rangements for settling the half-monthly account
to-morrow. The new Spanish Loan, it is said, will
be for 600,0001., and be contracted by Messrs.
Rothschilds and Barings jointly. The price for a
3 per cent. stock is said to be about that now cur-
rent at Madrid, and the certificates will probably be
received at 10k. It does not look as though railway
purposes were contemplated for, 600,0001. would go
a very small way. The Certificates are quoted 8
to f, being higher, the 3 per Cents. 49, and the
New Deferred 241. Buenos Ayres Bonds are 64,
and Danish 85. Mexican are better, being 251 to
26, and Portuguese 4 per Cents. are 381. Dutch
2i per Cents. are marked 664.
Railway Shares have been firm generally, with a
fair business.
The Mining and Land Companies are withou
any particular variation.
