MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
(From The Sun of last night.)

In the Liverpool market yesterday the sales of Cotton were
7,000 bales at about previous rates. There was abundance
of new Cotton on show. Railway shares were without any
material alteration and dull.

The sale of Railway Shares to-day, by Messrs. Lamond
and Co., was rather flat, and prices were a shade lower.
The following are a few of the principal sales :

ere the United States can accomplish its ends,
and if this is to be made good by the vanquished state, there
will, indeed, be a sorry prospect for the foreign creditors.
We should infer, however, that, as usual, brother Jonathan
will be chiefly anxious to extend his territory, and conse-
quently, that California, or some other equally large addi-
tion to the overgrown states, will be the " compensation"
accepted from the ill-used republic of Mexico, an easy prey,
as it has been, to internal factions, and for that reason also
to its foreign assailants.
' In the West India colonies, whence the accounts received
reach to the middle of January, the weather had been very
favourable for the crops, and a continuance of seasonable
weather was expected to favour an abundant return to the
planter. In Grenada and St. Lucia the weather had
been very wet, and at St. Christopher's there had
been fever prevalent ; but Jamaica, Trinidad, and
the other islands were improving in their gene-
ral position. There is a striking instance of negro
longevity adduced, a man named John Crawford Ricketts,
having died in Spanish Town at the extraordinary age of
142 years, and having been in good health up to within
about a fortnight of his decease.
The Funds are weak again this morning, and there is very
little disposition to support the market. Consols have re-
ceded to 90% % for present transfer, and to 903,( % for time.
The announcement of the Government financial state-
ment being intended tol be brought forward on Monday
week has not disposed parties to speculate, as may be sup-
posed, in the prevalent uncertainty as to whether there will
be a loan or an issue of bills. The New Three-and-a. Quarter
per Cents. are 92% 3%, and the Three per Cents. 90% "gi.
Bank Stock is quiet at 204, and India Stock at 250 to 251.
The premium on the unfunded debt is 6s. to 95., being again
rather firm.

The Foreign Stock Market is as duil as ever. Mexican
Bonds have been at 224, Grenada Deferred at 3%, Buenos
Ayres at 40, and Venezuela at 38%. Spanish Three per
Cents. have been 343%. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
been nominally about 36 to 37.

Shares are very dull, and rather heavy again in price,
though without any decided fall.

ROYAL LONDON OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL,.. 1011-day the forty-third annual general meeting of the governors
of this charity, founded for the relief of the poor of every
country and denomination suffering from disease of the eye,
was held at the institution in Bloomfield-street, Moorfields,
Richard Battley, Esq., presiding. The medical report stated
that during the past year upwards of 7,000 out-patients had
been relieved, and upwards of 100 patients had been received
into the house and operated upon with the most gratifying
results. The expenditure for the year was nearly 900/., the
donations and subscriptions amounted to 312/., dividends on
stock 221/. At the last annual meeting there was a balance
in hand of 838/. 15s. ; but which, at present, in consequence
of the great increase of patients, is reduced to 574/. The re-
port was adopted.
The Lye Church, near Stourbridge,
having been
enlarged so as to afford 200 additional seats for adults and
400 for children, was re-opened by the Lord Bishop of Wor-
cester on Wednesday last.—Dirmenghain Gazette.
