MONDAY 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 let
January, 1850.—Handelsblad.

SWITZERLAND.

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 NEWF.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was a moderate- demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool on Saturday, at full prices ; the sales were 4,000
biles, including 3,000 American at 5 to 71d. ; 200
Bahia at 611. ; and 300 Surat at 4id. to 44d. per lb. ;
1,000 bales were taken on speculation, and 500 fur ex-
port.—Railway Shares were firm.

The Corn Market has been very depressed to-day,
owing to the largo supply, and all articles are ls. to 2s.
loser.

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 87i per
barrel, Genessee prime Wheat 1.18 to 1 20 per bushel.
Freights were very low, and for Floor were 3id. to 4d.
The Exdlange on London had declined to 1091 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 comp'.
ratively dull. Tranquillity prevailed among the la-
hourers, and the Assemblies were proceeding with busi-
nese, 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 16. b
August. At Sydney the commercial markets were better,
the supply of soft goods having been diminished by the
shipments to California; and there was greater activity
in Noel, owing to the favourable reports received out of
the result of the February sales in London. The Bank
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
aznrunted to 1 556,550/., and the exports to 1,830,3681.
The Van Dieman'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
frantier system was working well, and enabled tho police
to tracJ out &Influents among the Kafirs, and to check
the sale to them of arms and gunpowder. Front Natal
we have complaints of the want of improvement in the
harbour, and of the inefLiency 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 95a to for Transfer, and 95:1 to
for Account. There is much attention paid to the con-
tinued influx of bullion, the West India steamer this
morning bringing 200,000/. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 951 to and the Three per
Cvnts. 941 Bank Stock is at 200 k. Exchequer-
bills have been 465. to 495., and Lelia Bonds 84s.
premium.

The Foreign Securities have been dealt in this morn-
ing to a considerable extent. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been fluctuaing more, viz., from lBi to 19k; and
the Three per Cents from 381 to 391. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been 371 to 33. Brail Bonds
have be!ti done at 88, Buenos Ayres at 464, Equador
3, and Grenada at 161 ; Vent viola have b-s-on at 29
to z, and Mexican have ranged from 27:1 to 28i. Dutch
Tw.--and a-Half Fer Cents. have been 551.
The London Stock Evihange Committee have re-
eolved:—" That shares which shall be publicly bought
in shall be delivered not later than ono o'el :ck on the
following day; in the event of their non-de'ivery 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 pail to the Treasurer of the Fund for Decayed
Members."

This shows a laudable determination on the part of
the Committee to repress jobbing in shares, and protect
those who do business for real investment.

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