EVENING, DECEMBER 3 1849.

Negotiations with the Netherlands have recom-
menced, but the conditions proposed by Prussia, in
the name of the Zollverein, differ completely from
those of the treaty of 1837. Prussia not only wants
to participate in all the advantages secured to Bel-
gium in 1846, but it demands the abolition of the
privilege granted to the Netherlands relative to the
importation of a quantity of sugar and coffee,
and demands the settlement of the question of
the navigation of the Rhine, and that as far as the
sea.

It is hoped the affair may be settled before the Ist
January, 1850.—Handelsblad.

The National Council has, by a majority of 66 to
28, confirmed the ordinance issued by the Federal
Council on the 19th November, by which 35 new
refugees from Baden were ordered to quit Switzerland.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW S.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a moderate demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool on Saturday, at full prices ; the sales were 4,000
bales, including 3,000 American at 50. to 71d. ; 200
Bahia at 611 ; and 300 Surat at 41d. to 44 d. per lb. ;
1,000 bales a.a taken on speculation, and 500 for ex-
port.—Railway Shares were firm.
The Corn Market has been very depressed to-day,
owing to the large supply, and all articles are ls. to 2s.
lower.

There are numerous arrivals to-day. From America
we have the Cambria steamer, but her advices will not
reach us until to morrow. The outline of her news, as
received per telegraph, is satisfactory. Cotton was
declining, the reports of the crops being spoken of more
favourably. Bread-stuffs were quiet, and prices without
alteration. Western Canal Flour 4,75 to 4 871 per
barrel, Gonessee prime Wheat 1.18 to 1 20 per bushel.
Freights were very low, and for Flour were 31d. to 4d.
The Exchange on London had declined to 109} and 109.
The West India steamer Tay has also arrived, and
we have the full particulars of her intelligence. In some
of the colonies there was a want of rain, Barbadoes
among the number; and in all of them trade was compa-
ratively dull. Tranquillity prevailed among the la-
bourers, and the Assemblies were proceeding with busi-
ness, though not always with the desired vigour. Re-
trenchment was the grand object everywhere, and the
introduction of new staples of cultivation was the more
favourite idea.
There are Australian accounts direct to the 16th
August. At Sydney thecommercial markets were better,
the supply of soft goods having been diminished by the
shipments to California; and there was greater activity
in Woel, owing to the favourable reports received out of
the result of the February sales in London. The Beek
returns appear to show an increase of bullion in the
colony during the six months to date.
Port Philip was prosperous. The imports last year
amounted to 1556,5101., and the exports to 1,830,3681.
The Van Diemen's Land accounts, to the
beginning of August inclusive, are mainly occupied still
with the consideration of the transportation question.
Cape of Good Hope advices of October 3 state that the
frontier system was working well, and enabled the police
to trace out delinquents among the Kafirs, and to check
the sale to them of arms and gunpowder. From Natal
we have complaints of the want of improvement in the
harbour, and of the inefficiency of the port captain.
The excellent monthly trade and navigation returns
to the sth ult. have given a further tone to feeling in
the City.
There has been a very firm market again for Public
Securities, and a fair money business has been done.
Consols have realised 957 to for Transfer, and grei to
for Account. There is much attention paid to the con-
tinin d influx of bullion, the West India steamer this
morning bringing 200,0001. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 951- to 1, and the Three per
Cents. 941 to :Le Bank Stock is at 200 k. Exchequer-
bills have been 465. to 495., and India Bonds 84s.
premium.
The Foreign Securities have been dealt in this morn•
ing to a considerable extent. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been fluctuating more, viz., from 18i to 191; and
the Three par Cents. from 38. to 391. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been 37f to 38. Brazil Bonds
have bun done at 88, Buenos Ayres at 461, Equador
3/ and Grenada at 161 Venezuela have been at 29
to k, and Mexican have ranged from 27/ to 281. Dutch
Tw. -and•a-Half per Cents. have been 55g.
The London Stock Exchange Committee have re-
solved:—" That shares which shall be publicly bought
in shall be delivered not later than one o'clock on the
following (ley; in the event of their non-delivery by
that time, they, may be repurchased for immediate deli-
very, without further notice, and the loss, if any, be
paid by the party causing such repurchase; and in the
event of there being a profit on the transaction, it shall
be paid to the Treasurer of the Fund for Decayed
Members."

This sho7-: laudable determination on the part of
the C,:mmittee to repress jobbing in shares, and protect
those who do business for real investment.

The Railway Share Market is still buoyant, though
fluctuating, and a large business has been doing.
