MALTA.

Intelligence has been received from Malta of the
22nd. The Governor hail refused to permit the re-
fugees from Rome to land, notwithstanding the peti-
tions and remonstrances of the consuls, and of the
great bulk of the respectable inhabitants of Malta.
Mr. More O'Farral, the Governer, is a Roman Ca-
tholic, and the priests have represented to him that
these unfortunate persons are irreligious and vile—
worthy only to be excommunicated—as they have
fought against his Holiness the POPE, and trampled
under foot the sacred wafer, and by their
representations it appears that his Excellency shapes
his conduct, rather than by those of the enlightened
and respectable portions of the Maltese community.
If these unfortunate persons were to return to Italy,
or land in France or in Spain, they would be shot ;
and they are, therefore, obliged to remain on board
ship at Malta for the present, the consequence of
which is, that, from the crowded state of the vessel,
sickness has broken out, and several of them have
died. We hope that to-morrow, before the proroga-
tion, some Member will question the Government on
the subject of the conduct of the Governor of Malta.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a brisk market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales,
of which 3,000 were on speculation and 2,000 for ex-
port, and the market closed firmly and rather buoyant.
As compared with last Friday's rates, prices of all
American kinds were firmly maintained. The trans-
actions comprised 8,060 American at 4d. to 6:12-d., 250
Pernam and Maranharn at 5/d. to 5d., 500 Bahia at
sid. to end, 500 Bahia sid. to 5-0 . 350 Egyptian at
sd. to 61d., and 300 Surat at sd. to 4d. per lb.—
Railway Snares were dull and prices were rather lower.
The Linnet brings no ounts of June 10 from Rio de
Janeiro, but the dates of May 20, from the River Plato,
are not so late as those already to band. At Rio busi•
aces was dull, though freights were rather higher. The
imports were still so excessive as almost to paralyse the
market, and we are not surprised to hear of another
failure, tint of James Birckhcad. More piece goods
had been received than in any month since last Sep-
tember. Discounts were 7 per cent, and the Exchange
on London was 25/1. A favourable item is the in-
crease in the Customs and Consulado of 144 per cent, as
compared with May, 1848.
The Buenos Ayres accounts are still comparatively
favourable, and the official organ of Rosas indulges
strong hopes of an amicable settlement. A document
from Rosas, dated late in May, reopens the ports of the
La Plata to foreign ships. The exchange on London
was 63. Freight to Great Britain was 30s. for wool in
bales.

Affairs at Monte Video progress much in:the old way.
Admiral Lepredour had held conferences at the govern-
ment-house, and the officers of the French Legion
attended.
It is stated in yesterday's American advices that the
business of the Welland Canal shows a gratifying in-
crease upon last year. During the month of June, 317
vessels went through, against 238 for the corresponding
mouth of last year. In June of 1847, when commerce
was the busiest ever known, the number reached 376.
Of the vessels last month, 110 passed up and 115 down,
for American ports, and 40 up and 52 down for Cana-
dian ports.
The boundary line between the United States and
Canada, run in accordance with the Ashbnr:on treaty,
cost the labour of 300 men 18 months. For 300 miles
a path was cut through the forest 30 feet wide, and
cleared of all trees. At tho end of every mile is a
cast-iron pillar, painted white, square four feet out of
the ground, seven inches square at the bottom and four
inches at the top, with raised letters on its sides,
nemieg the Commissioners who run the line, and the date.
A vessel named the Annexation has been launched at
Goderich. The owner is a friend of the present
Administration, and a signer of the confidence address
to Lord Elgin,
The Gm nwich Railway proprietors held their meet-
ing to-day, and the usual dividend aas declared, viz ,-
3s. 9d. per share on 43,077 shares. There was some
conversation as to lowering the rate of interest on the
band debt, by calling in and renewing portions thereof
every six months, or converting the same into a pre-
ference steels, but the matter remains for the considera-
tion of the directors.
There has been a drooping market again for the
Public SEcurities, and a sale or two for money has been
made, stated to be for account of the railway companies
which have dividends to pay. Consols have been 9211- to
93 sor Transfer, and 927 to 93 for Account. The New
Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents, have been 921 to 927.
Back Stock is 1981 to 1993-. Exchequer• bills are 48s.
to 51s. premium.
Ia the foreign market very little is doing. Spanish
Three-per-Cents. are 34 to 4. Mexican, 267 to 27k.
Dutch Four-per-Cents- are 81 to 1. French Three-per-
Cents. realise 54.
Railway Shares continue fiat, and with but few trans-
actions.

In Mines and Banks there have been more bargains
during the last two or three days.
