of Comorn had made a sally, bat with what success
was unknown.

this year. His MAJESTY Will honour the opening of
the railway from Cilli to Laibach, accompanied by
M. VON BRUCK, the Minister of Trade and
Commerce.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a firm market for Cotton at Liverpool on Sa-
turday. The sales were about 6,000 bales, including 5.000
American, 100 Egyptian, and 300 Surat. Of the above
American, 1,000 were taken for export and 500 on spa.
culation.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done at
rather higher prices.
The Corn Market is very heavy to-day, and prices are
lower for all grain.
The advices received from the Continent intimate
that the progress of the harvest was generally satis-
factory, although in some places a deficiency in the yield
is expected. Prices rule low for wheat and other grain
at the principal markets, both in the interior and at the
place of shipment.
Accounts of August 9, from St. Pierre, Martinico,
state that commercial affairs there were at a complete
stand; that sugar was daily scarcer, and had risen to 25
and 28 francs; that the arrivals from Europe had been
very limited during the previous fortnight, and that pro-
visions and French mcrchandize of the more indispen-
sable kind were advancing. There were only nine chips
in the port.
From Point-a-Pitre, Guadelope, under date of the
10th ult., we are informed that the harvest had nearly
been brought to a conclusion, and that sugar had been
sold at the advanced rates of 27 to 29 francs per 50
killogrammes, duty paid.
At Amsterdam, on Saturday, the home Funds were
firmsr, but not much was done. The Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents. brought 54 to 51 1-16.
Some attention has been directed to the very excellent
offieicial returns of the trade of the United Kingdom
dating the month to August 5. An increase of more
than two millions sterling compared with the cone-
sponling period of lest year is excellent evidence
of reviving prosperity among the manufacturing and
commercial classes, unless we assume that the foreign
export trade is being forced, and that there will be a
difficulty in securing a profit upon many of the consign-
' ments. With regard to the Brazilian and some other
markets, we have no doubt such has been the case, hut
it is hoped that with the United States and the East
Indies we are doing a safe and remunerative business.
The large increase of imports, especially of grain, was to
be expected under the operation of the new loan, and, as
many conceive, will be much further developed ere long,
the revolutions having interfered with the regular course
of agriculture and trade; but there is likewise a feeling
that with our present good harvest foreigners will not
have much chance of .receiving orders on British
account, and must send over their produce at
their own risk, or with the determination of
getting rid of it by way of barter, taking our
goods in return. In periods of scarcity they would
have far more power, and could probably enforce specie
remittances. Of the chances of a large foreign supply
several practical men whom we have consulted seem to
entertain no doubt.
There is a flat market again for Public Securities,
and the state of the Account, which has to be ar-
ranged to-morrow, evidently acts upon it, especially
in the present dull state of affairs. The shutting of the
Transfer-books on Wednesday leads also to a change of
investment in many cases, parties who sell out Consols
taking Reduced Annuities, &c. Consols have been 921 g;
Reduced Three per Cents. at 921- -8-; and New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 93f to 94. Exchequer-
bills have been marked 383. to 415.; and India Bonds
725. to 755. premium.
The Fsreign Market has been quiet again. The
official announcement of the transference of the agency
of the Mexican Bondholders to Colonel Facie, M. Gomez
Farias being his secretary, bad led to no dealings in the
stock, because it was known that this arrangement
would be made. The amount will now be paid into the
Bank of England, and will become the property of the
bondholders the moment their agents is Mexico receive
it, while at any time, in the event of the requisite sum
for a full dividend not being made up within the six
months, payment in part can bo received by application
of the committee, all future misapplications of funds re-
ceived to other purposes than those of a dividend will be
guarded against by the amount being paid into the Bank
of England for that purpose only, and not being allowed
to be withdrawn except upon the order of the agents of
the bondholders, as well as of the representative of the
Government. Grenada Stock has been quoted 161; Portu-
guese Four per Cents, are 29 to and Spanish Five per
Cents. 18. French Three per Cents. have been 55 50,
with the Exchange at 25 45. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been 54 to 544.
Railway Shares have not changed much, but are
slightly in favour of buyers. The transactions have
been limited.
