MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterday was very
firm and active. The sales were estimated at 8,000
bales, including 1,500 American for export and on spe-
culation.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business
done; prices, however, have an upward tendency.
The remainder of the account: by the Overland ex-
press have been received today, and are favourable on
the whole, though the news from China is rather

ominous, and leads to the fear that a collision must occur
when the gates of Canton are to be opened to foreigners.
The steamer from Halifax has arrived. The money
market at New York was buoyant, and the exchange on
London firm at 1081 to 1084. A local journalist ob-
serves:--
" It appears from the records of the Commissioners
of Emigration that nearly thirty thousand immigrants
from Europe have arrived at this port alone, during the
past three months of the present year. This single fact
will enable those who have not paid minute atten
tion to the subject, to judge of the ♦ast
accessions v.lich are now made to the population and
industrial resources of the United State, from foreign
sources. Ireland contributes the largest proportion of
this influx of physical wealth. From a table compiled
from the records of the Commissioners of Emigration it
appears that the immigration during the first three
months of the last year and the present, from the prin•
cipal nations of Europe, was as follows :-

The navigation-laws are now to be considered in the
light of a fait accompli, but it must be interesting to
cite instances of approval in the colonies. At a meet-
ing held in Canada resolutions were passed to the effect
that :
" Inasmuch as the restrictions imposed upon us by
these laws and the partial closing of the St. Lawrence
against foreign vessels, prove, in their effects, most detri-
mental to the commerce and to the essential interests of
the Province; it is therefore the opinion of this meet-
ing, that the people of this colony have a just claim
upon the mother country to he relieved from those one-
rous restrictions.
" That this meeting, from further experience acquired
in the season just closed, see the most powerful reasons
to reiterate what was urged by their fellow-citizens at
the public meeting already referred to, viz:—
" That there is the strongest ground for apprehension,
should the British navigation-laws (so far as they affect
this province) continue in force atter the protection
to Canadian grain and flour in Great Britain is with-
drawn, that the bulk of the produce, both of the western
States and of Canada West, will be sent to ports of the
United States for shipment, notwithstanding the
superior advantages in economy of transport which
the internal communications of Canada possess, but
which arc fully counterbalanced by the greater
cheapness of ocean freight in the United
States, and that the navigation-laws will thus be ren-
dered inoperative as regards their main object, that of
protection to British shipping, whilst they will exercise
a most baneful influence alike over that portion of our
revenue derived from public works, and over the intes
rests of every individual connected with the trade and
commerce of the country.
" That this meeting have duly considered the Bill To
Amend the Laws in force for the Encouragement of
British Shipping and Navigation, prepared and brought
into the House of Commons by Mr. Bernal, Mr. Labou-
chero, and Lord John Russell, and ordered to be
printed on the 16th August last ;' and al-
though they desire to refrain from any ex-
pression of opinion with regard to the merits
of the so far as they affect the general interests of
the empire; yet, conceiving that it fully meets the wants
and just claims of the province, inasmuch as it proposes
is leave us free to employ foreign or British vessels, at
our option, in ou' commerce with the United Kingdom
and other nations, and to concede to the
provincial Legislature the power to regulate
our coasting trade, and inland navigation, as it may
deem best tor the general good, hail the measure in this
latter sense with satisfaction, and trust that the urgency
of our case will be duly appreciated by her Majesty's
Government, and the Imperial Parliament, this meeting
being convinced that the provisions of the Bill, so far as
they relate to Canada, are indispensable for the restora-
tion of prosperity to this colony."
The Continental mails bring no mercantile accounts of
interest.
The English Funds have been well supported to-day,
although the continued difficulty of Louis Napoleon in
rerp et to the Italian question, and the doubt about
Russian interference in the Baltic, keep a check upon
prices. Consols have been 92 to 9n, and are now 9r-4- to
92, and New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 9 l to
