RONEY and COMMERCIAL. NEWS.
Ci TY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Mae ket at Liverpool on Saturday was
more active, the sales amounting to about 10,000 bales,
including 8,000 American, 200 Egyptians, and 1,000
Surat. Of the above, 2,000 American were taken on
speculation, and 1,000 ditto and 500 Surat for export.
Prices of all kinds were firm.—ln Railway Shares only a
limited business was done at previous quotations.
In the Corn Market there is no change this morning.
We have the following report upon the metal trade
from Mr. W. Short: Iron.—English bars:havelbeen in
moderate request during the month, and are now to be
had readily at 51. per ton, free on board, in Wales. For
Staffordshire iron there has been a fair demand, and
prices have scarcely altered during the month. Scotch
pig iron is extremely flat; of mixed numbers, there
are sellers for cash at 425. per ton free on board at
Glasgow; no buyers beyond 41s. 6d., and few even at that.
No. 1 Gartsherrie may be quoted 445. per ton. In
Welch pig iron there is no business doing. Of Swedish
iron several nice assortments offer at the moment at 11/.
to 11/. ss. per ton. Swedish Steel.—Kegs are held far
better prices, the quantity in stock being greatly re-
diced. Copper is firm at quotations, and the copper
houses not anxious sellers. Tir.—English is in fair de-
mand, but foreign continues flat. Tin Plates.—Coke
plates are still iu great request. The tin-plate makers
have not yet obtained a plentiful supply of water, and
the production in consequence continues very limited.
Lead is in fair demand, both for consumption and ex-
port. Spelter.—ln this article there has of late Leen a
limited business, but the market is at present firm at
my quotations. The steels. is 2,920 tons, against 282,880
tons at this period last year."
The accounts per Europa steamer, from America, are
to Sept. 2.5. The Stock market was rather heavy at
New York, owing to a report that the United States
Minister for Foreign, Affairs, Mr. Clayton, was carry-
ing on a sharp and interesting correspondence with the
representative of England relative to our alleged inter-
ference in the affairs of the South American Govern-
ments. The rate of exchange on London was 1091 to
1094, with a moderate inquiry for bills. The value of
dry goods entered for consumption into New York for
the week was 433,504 dollars. Cotton was active and
dearer, and Flour for local use more in demand.
It is stated from Now Orleans (September 1) that the
aggregate value of produce ,received, for the year just
closed, was 2,210,541 dollars in excess of the year pre-
vious, and 8,043,564 dollars less than for the year 1847-
1848. The value of the exports from New Orleans, for
the year ending June 30, 1849, was 65,363,571 _dollars
against 67,182,323 dollars for the previous year. The
improvement in prices for cotton, and the large receipts
of flour and grain, have had a very great influence in
keeping up the aggregate value for the year, and to
these items alone we attribute the excess over last year.:
There has,been an important:falling offin the past year,
compared with 1847-48, in bacon, cotton, hemp, hides,
hay, lard, lime, lead, pork in bulk, sugar, tobacco, and
whisky; and an increase to some extent in beef, corn,
flour, pork, tierces, barrels, boxes and hogsheads, staves,
tallow, and wheat. Considering the great variation in
the receipt of many articles, compared with the previous
year, the aggregate value continues very uniform. Average
prices for corn, during the year 1848 and 1849, were
higher than for the year previous; cotton higher, sugar
higher, molasses lower, flour lower, and pork, mess and
prime, higher.
The difficulty with M. Poussin, the French Minister,
was expected to be adjusted amicably, and the whole
correspondence was published in the newspapers.
The state of political affairs in Canada was still unsa-
tisfactory, and trade suffered thereby. At Montreal, on
the 21st ult., trade was dull at 21s. 6d. to 225. for super-
fine. Upper Canada mixed wheat was 4s. 61. to 4s. 71d.
Freights were at 2s. Sd. for flour to Liverpool. Ex-
change onLondon (60 days) dull, at 101 for Bank bills.
At Quebec Hear had declined to 23.3. 63. per barrel, cash.
The following is a comparative statement of the ar-
rivals and tonnage at the port of Quebec, from sea, in
the years 1848 9, up to the 22d Sept. in each year:-

We leans from Mexico that General Paredes was
dead, but the United States papers state that there was
no other never.

The accounts from Hamburgh are of Friday's date.
The exchange on London was still at 13s. Niel. The
funds were flatter, but shares generally were firm. A
further report of he Leipzic fair, to the 2d inst., states
that a most excellent demand prevailed for British man-
factures, which had a preference over domestic fabrics,
and commanded a greater advance, the quality being
better, and the supply more limited, while the German
manufacturers seemed anxious to dispose of their goods.
From St. Petersburgh we have the exchange on London
quoted 37i to 9-16.
A return of the circulation of the principal Belgian
banks gives the amount on the Ist inst. at 42,772,9751.,
and the discounts at four millions.
The English Stock Market has been heavier this
morning notwithstanding the semi-official information
of a probable revenue return for the quarter which ex-
pires on the 10th; but the fact is, that the Russian
question is still viewed with anxiety, and acts as a
weight upon the market in opposition to other favour-
able circumstances. Consols have realised 924 for
transfer, and 92i for account. Exchequer-bills have
been firm at 395. to 425. premium; and India Bonds have
improved to 795. and 82s. premium. East India Stock
has been at 2575.

In the Foreign Market Spanish Three per Cents. have
realised 34, and Portuguese Converted Five per Cents.
283. In Mexican Bonds nothing has been done, but they
are nominally 261 t 0263-. Peruvian Deferred have realised
18, and Buenos Ayres 42 to 43. Russian Stock is
rather firm at 107. Dutch Twc-and-a-Half per Cents.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
The merchant-ship Devon, from the Cape of Good
Hope, has arrived, bringing two days' later news
from that colony. The convicts in the Nelson had
not then reached the Cape, but the Kent, with troops
from Cork, which arrived on the 3d of August,
reported having spoken a vessel three weeks pre-
viously with convicts for the Cape. The Brilliant
sailed for England on the 2d of August.

CABINET COUNCIL (TBIS A Cabinet
Council (the third within a wet k) was held at the
Foreign-office, this afternoon. There were present
the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord John Russell (who
arrived in town from Pembroke Lodge this morning),
Earl Grey, the Earl of Carlisle, Viscount Palmer-
ston, Sir George Grey, the Lord Chancellor, Mr.
Labouchere, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and
Sir Francis T. Baring. The Earl of Minto, the Mar-
quis of Clanricarde, and Sir John C. Hobhouse were
absent from the Council, the first•named nobleman
being at Minto Castle, the Marquis of Clanricarde
at Portumna Castle, and Sir Juhn Ilobhouse, at
Erlestoke Park, It is rumoured that the Russian and
Turkish question has led to these repeated re-unions
of the Cabinet.

TIIE LATE COURT-AIARTIAL AT DEVONPORT.-it
having been stated that the late Commander of her Ma•
jesty's ship Childers was about to appeal to the Court of
Queen's Bench against the sentence of the recent court-
martial held on him at Devonport, we have direct autho-
rity f9z contradicting the report,—Norning Herald,
