annexed :—Boston, June 6; Halifax, June 9; New

MONEY and COMIVIERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at nearly 10,000 bees, and comprised 7,000
to 8,000 American, at 31d. to 63d., 200 Pernam and
Maranham at 48d. to 54-d., 100 Egyptian at 531. to 63d.,
400 Surat at 3d. to 4d., and 40 Sea Island at 9d. to Is. 2d.
per lb. The market closed with much animation at ex-
treme prices.— Railway Shares were rather firmer.
• The Corn Market is very firm, and has rather an up-
ward tendency.
The letters by the steamer Caledonie, which has ar-
rived from the United States, will not be delivered until
to-morrow meriting.
Accounts have been received from various parts
of the Continent by the ordinary mails, and we
can state without reservation, that upon the whole
they are by far the most satisfactory that have
conic to hand for a long time past, in reference
to the condition of the money markets. At Hamburgh,
on the 15th instant, the rate of exchange on England
was 13 91, and the price of gold was 4391. The funds
were deem in to a fair extent, hut shares were rather
quiet. Money continued very easy. There had been
au active demand for bills on St. Petersburgh. Upon
the subject of the Danish war there appears likewise to
be better promise of a settlement, but parties inte-
rested have very naturally so often expressed hopes
on this subject, when writing to their corre-
Tondents in London, that we cannot attach too
much importance to their statements. Indeed,
it is not unlikely that the fact of the settlement will be
first known in London, as there can be very little hope
of an arrange ne.:nt except under the influence and exer-
tions of rord Palmerston.
At Frankfort, on the 15th inst., the Funds were in
more request, and Austrian Five per Cents. were
quoted 72. The Berlin Bourse on the 15th inst. was
very animated, and Shares and Stocks were generally
higher. From Vienna, under elate of the 13th instant,
we learn that the Austrian Stocks and Shares were
very firm, and Foreign Securities all higher. The
Amsterdam market was firm yesterday, and in Dutch
Two•and-a• Half per Cents, a good business was done.
Foreign Stocks were all higher. The Paris prices come
better.
Nothing of a more definite nature has transpired con-
cerning the probable character of the quarterly revenue
accounts, but the impression iu City circles certainly is
that there will be a d( fieieney.
The market fur Public Sccuzities is extremely
buoyant this morning, and the termination of the
Paris insurrection certainly gives a very decided tone,
although in other parts of the Continent there are
many circumstances to excite doubt, and the revenue
account must have a slight influence ; still there
is a confident feeling, and at present opinion teems
in favour of a let greater improvement in stock
values, such is the abundance of unemployed capital.
Assuming, however, that tranquillity is restored on the
Continent, we must not expect such a quiet but steady
influx of bullion as has been in progress here fur some
time past, tor, on the contrary, the money having only
been transmitted here for security, will be withdrawn
again, and we trust beneficially at d actively employed,
It would be no disadvantage to England to be re
lieved of a portion of the idle surplus. Coneo!s
have touch: 91- and -,7,- for the opeeieg and with-
out the dividend, having but a few days since
been as low as 90i with the dividend. The
Now Three-and-a Quarter por Cent 3. have realised
924 3, and the Three per Cents. 9l i I Exchequer-
bills brought 425. .to 455. pi ctuiuw, and India Bonds
70s. to 72,e premium. East India Stock for account was
quoted 253.
The Foreign Stock Market has becn lively, and with
values all in the ascendant owing to the bueyancy of the
Foglish Funds, and the improvement abroad. Spanish
Three per Cents, have been at 341, and Purafguese Four
per Cents. 274. Mexican ex coupons are 28i to •,i.
Russian Bonds are worth 1021 to 103, and French Three
per Cents. 53 50 to 54.50, with the exchange at 25 45.
Belgian Four-and-z• Halt per Cents. have been at 80,
and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. at 503 to i.
Railway Shares have been in moderate request, and
there is an improvement in North Western, Midland,
Brighton, and South-Eastern. Culjdonian are much
the same. French shares are much in favour at im
proved values.
