COMMERCIAL NEWS.

The money market at New York continues in a satis-
factory state; money is very easy, and trading prospects
on the whole are good.
In the market for breadstuff.; but litttle had been
doing. Prices had receded slightly. Western Canal
fl',ur was quoted 5 dolls. 37ic. to 5 dolls. 50c. (steady)
per bushel; Gennessee prime Wheat, 1 doll. 260. to 1
dull. 28c. per 601b5.; Southern Wheat, 1 doll. 12c. to
1 doll. 14c. ; Indian Corn, round yellow, 62c. to 64c.
per bushel, steady; Indian Corn flat; yellow, 62c. per
bushel; Indian Meal, 3 dolls. 25e. to 3 dolls. 371 c. per
barrel.
In cotton at Now York there was little doing. Holders
did not press sales, and former quotations were main-
tained rather weakly. New Orleans and Mobile mid.
fair to fair, lOic. to 1140. per lb.; Upland, mid. fair to
fair, line. to loc. per lb.
Freights are very low, and little doing.
EXCHANGE.—On London, 1084 to 109, steady, de-
mand fair; on Paris,s.27, fair market; on Hambnrgh, 35 to

THE OCEAN GRAVE.
Bury me deep—bury me deep,
Fathoms deep in the sea !
And let me sleep my last long sleep

Under the waters free.
With the billows sounding o'er me,

With the music of their strife—
With the ocean caves before me,

With their worlds of treasure rife.
With the coral and the amber,

With the pearls around me strewed—
In my richly furnished chamber—
In my mighty solitude !

Let no narrow coffin bound me,
No dim vaults their prisoner keep;
Let the billows dash around me,
And the mermaids o'er me weep.

Let me not rest where yew-trees reign,
Let no cypress o'er me wave—
But let the rushing hurricane
Sweep o'er my ocean grave !
Thus would I sleep—thus would I sleep
Under the waters free,
My pall should be the foaming deep,
And my sepulchre—the sea !

THE NEW SHERIFF'S CARRIAGES.—MOSSrS. Laurie
and Merrier have again been honoured with the order
for the civie carriages for the ensuing year, which they
have completed in their usual good taste. The prevail-
ing colours are rich dark blue, gold, and vermillion, with
the City arms and supporters, private arms, and those
of the company elaborately emblazoned on the panels;
the interior is lined with white satin, an) the hammer-
cloth is of rich gold colour, edged with blue fringe and
gold tassels. The harness is made entirely of patent
leather, with the arms and crests richly chased, and has
a very handsome appearance, the pad cloths being of
rich gold colour, to match the hammer cloth, and edged
with gold lace.
Some people seem to consider the severity of their
censures on the errors of others as an atonement for
their own.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
THE HOP FLT.—Mr. Bromley, a recent writer,
confirms the observation that the bop fly is produced in
spring on the sloe bushes, from which it migrates to the
hop, but dissents from the suggestion of Mr. Spence
(contained in an address to the Entomological Society in
January last, " which has been much circulated in the hop
districts"), that it is only necessary to destroy the sloe
trees in order to secure the hop from the attacks of this
insect, asserting that its eggs have also been found on
the plum, and that if all the sloe trees were destroyed
the insect would resort to some other allied species
of tree.

masks, dominoes, and fancy and character costumes ;
and, as a further recommendation to the proceedings, it
should be mentioned that amidst the motley throng the
most perfect good humour prevailed. The weather was
highly favourable for the visitors, although Vauxhall is
to a certain extent independent of its influence, being
amply provided with covered space for dancing. The
gardens ,were of course brilliantly illuminated for the
occasion, and were therefore seen to great advantage.
Ample refreshments were provided for the company as-
sembled, and the arrangements generally appeared to
give entire satisfaction.
Trust men, and Lhey will be true to you ; trust
them greatly, and they will show themselves great,
though they make an exception in your favour in all
their rules of trade.--Eliza cows Journal,

One of the first things that will strike the reader in
scanning this table will be the thermos, in the receipts
of some of the old lines, that upon the Great Western
being nearly one-fourth of the whole, or considerably
more if we take into account the additional CO/ miles
opened. The North-Western, with 42i miles more,
shows a trifling reduction in receipts, and Hudson's
companies are in a similar position. One cannot
avoid the conclusion, upon pondering over these .
results, that the competition of new lines has much to do
with them, the more especially when we observe the
great addition to the takings of some of the latter as
they become developed; but we really see nothing parti-
cular to excite despondency in regard to, at least, the
majority of the companies. A diversion of traffic would
be the consequence of the novelty alone, and if greater
facilities are afforded, a temporary reduction in the re-
ceipts of the old companies is a matter of course. That
the latter, however, with increase of population and
national wealth will find as much as they can possibly
do in the course of a few years, and that nearly every
line may ultimately be brought to yield a fair return to
the shareholders, we feel perfectly assured, and would
impress upon the minds of timid holders without in
any way seeking to influence them in respect to th
disposal of their further surplus means, that gross re!
ceipts do not always give a fair measure of nett profits
We have seen by the example of several companies that
there may be large earnings and small profits, the ex-
pense of extra trains, &c , dragging heavily on the latter.
This we believe will partly explain the falling off in the
Great Western and other receipts, and a reduction of
outlay may assist in sustaining a dividend. That this
shall be carried, however, to an extent affecting the
public accommodation, we trust never to see.
The Berlin Stock Market on the 22d instant was
tolerably firm, the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds
being 88s'I. At Frankfort, on the same day, Austrian
Bonds were 87',1. The Vienna Bourse on the 20th was
heavy at the commencement, but rallied a little after-
wards. The Metallics were quoted 96k, and the New
Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Loan was dealt in at 84.
The steamer Caledonia has arrived from America, but
the letters will not be delivered in due course until
to- morrow. In the meantime, the outline received per
telegraph appears to be favourable. The rate of ex-
change on London continued high, being 10 per cent.
premium. It is stated that Canada was tranquil. The
dates from Mexico are to the 31st ult., but there would
appear to be no news.
The English Funds have been rather heavier. Con-
sols have ranged from 921 to 921; for Transfer, being
now 921 I. Time bargains have been effected at
92i to fa and the value now is 924

amain et 35e. to 38s. premium. India Stock had rea-
lised 252. The report from the Paris Bourse notices
some flatness, and there is an apprehension of renewed
agitation when the Assembly meets, upon the Italian
queotion.
In the Foreign Market there is a decline gene-
rally. Mexican have been 27 to k, although Messrs.
Manning and Mackintosh have announced that a
further large amount of duties has accrued for
the creditors, and will be remitted when received
from the merchants, who always have a certain credit.
As to Congress rejecting the new proposals well in-
formed parties believe that it is much more likely they
will be accepted. Grenada Stock has been 17, and
Brazilian Old Bonds are 86. Portuguese Four per
Cents. bring 291. The Peninsular Mail furnishes some-
what more satisfactory accounts from Lisbon. The
revenue collectors were being more looked after.
Spanish are flat this morning.
Reilway Shares have lust part of yesterday's advance,
and are quieter.
An every-day reader near Huddersfield, if we rightly
decy Flax his writing, should be aware that the official
share list in the first edition of The Sun, and of course
the remarks upon it, are up to one o'clock, and for the
e
closing list he must get a later edition, although
remarks will not apply to changes alter that hour, up:
Ire quent as they are. The strictest attention is paid
under this head to describe the market from the autho-
rized priccs only, and not to please mere speculators.
