MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7,000 bales. The market was steady,
at previous rates. The sales comprised 5,500 Ame-
rican 3 600 Egyptian at 61d. to lid., 800 Surat at
no- to 41., and 120 Sea Island at ls. 10d. to
3s. 3d. per lb. Railway Shares were flat.
The quantity of produce offering for public com-
Petition is rather larger this week, but there is not
nuich change at preseni observable in the prices.
eThe steamer La Plata brings the West India andh
exican mails. The weather was very sultry in
colonies. The cessation of the import revenue
111 Jamaica is likely to bring that island into
g'reater financial difficulties than ever, and although
re_ trenchment is highly desirable, and to bring
about a reduction of the Governmental expenses,
forcible action on the part of the representa-
tives may be necessary-, the injury to the
ocolony is so great, that the remedy may be pro-
/1
,omiced to be worse than the disease. The mer-
chants of Kingston had represented to the House
eef e
Assembly the serious position in which they
would "er placed and the abi that some few
Individuals benefitpro abt the expense of all the
rest of the community. The proper course, it
7°llld seem, would be to have provided an interim
evenue; and especially to lay a duty on imports
and on rum for that purpose.
A Correspondent of the Trelawny Post thus al-
'tides to the discoveries of Copper Mines in the
Parish of Hanover :
"We learn from a correspondent that Copper has
beenthe found in the parish of Hanover, at Eardley estate,
Property of Henry Brockett, Esq., that several
specimens of the ore have been tried, and that, after three
rate
four analysations, the estimate formed was at the
°f 75 per cent. It is supposed that the veins run
directly across to Moreland estate in Westmoreland,
and that the value of both properties will be consider-
ably increased by the discovery."
..L.The various ships that arrived yesterday and to-
off the coast from Australia bring generally
The
dates, but most of them have specie on board.
I,le Lydia, from New South Wales, and the Wel-
-41%,t0n, from Hobart Town, are among the latest
brivaLs announced, and the aggregate o the specie
1, the West India, North American, and Austra-
'lan vessels is nearly 1,200,0001.
In to the present state of Eastern affairs much in_
•s necessarily attached to the direct influence
lhat will be exercised upon the value of money.
• lanY parties are of opinion that before the lapse
of three or four months, money will be worth cur-
lentlY as much as 5 per cent.; but this is still a
question. uon which there will be a difference of
liTiAion J • udging of the excellent accounts from
'B4alia, and the frequent arrivals, there will be
°lne counterbalance to the demand made upon
by the Continent ; but it is right to point
tit that this demand is very heavy. Thus during
1.:r; ensuing month, there will be no less than
11'401000/. sent to France and Belgium for " calls"
,Pen. railways ; and there are numerous other un-
dertakings which will take their subscriptions as
oapidly as possible if they entertain the least idea
A-Lah increased tightness. This we have all along
nted out as one of the evils attending the forma-
t°l,_ simultaneously, of so many new under-
a;47gs ; and unless great discretion be exercised,
pressure may arise. Our Colonial com-
Ct:lnes are formed upon a good basis, and in any
ase, even if they do not return an adequate in-
:est to the shareholder, they will benefit our
c'e°ssessinhs. What has transpired certainly must
harinvince the most sceptical that the drain upon us
been very considerable, since it appears that,
i„ 1' Year, there were 14 millions sterling produced
al the colony of Port Philip, and yet we have the
ulelint in the Bank of England weekly decreasing.
scar AnY idea of war will induce hoarding and artificial

general,

their of the South Sea Company, and ask for
etr money in preference to Two-and-a-Half

auiring to divide its assets. The Lord Chancellor,
