MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a very quiet Market for Cotton at Liver-
pool on Saturday. Sales 2,500 bales, without alteration
in prices.—Railway Shares were quiet.
There are advices to the 14th of August from Sydney,
the 16th of July from Hobart Town, and the 10th
from Port Philip. From Adelaide we have dates to the
14th of June. Affairs seem in a general point of view
to be progressing satisfactorily in the colonies, and the
chief thing needed now is an influx of labour. There is no
dangerous speculation or fictitious prosperity in the Aus-
tralian settlements, but to the:small capitalist a prospect of
steady accumulation, and to the working man, of good
employment and remuneration are, perhaps, more than
ever open. In this respect, therefore, we are glad that
the Government here have funds adequate to promote
at least a moderate amount of free emigration, and,
consequently, a large number of parties are being

sent out,
The :tables relative to imports and exports show a
great increase in the former at Sydney, and with.
out a corresponding augmentation in the exports,
although the latter do also exhibit an increase. The
Commercial Bank of Sydney had been compelled to
trench upon its reserved fund to make up losses sus-
tained by the dishonesty of one of its servants.
The Port Phillip colony gets on well, but even pas-
toral occupations were impeded by the want of labour.
Mining in South Australia progresses wonderfully,
and two dividends of fifty per cent. each bad
been declared within a few weeks upon the shares of the
Mining Association. The smelting of copper will also,
no doubt, be carried on to some extent hereafter in the
cantles.

The emigrant ships Trafalgar and Belle Alliance had
arrived out with nearly 600 persons ou board, and the
state of their health is well spoken of.
The accounts received from the Continent state that
money was rather scarce, and a few more failures had
occurred in different parts.
The market for the public securities has been very
quiet this morning, and there is a firm tone observable.
Consols are 86 for special Transfer, and 251 to
for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 861- to Bank Stock is 184 Exchequer-
bills have risen to 6s. and 9s. premium, an indication of
the greater abundance of money; and East India Bonds
under 1,000/. are at 18s. discount. There is very little
speculation going on.
The Foreign Stock Market presents a mere blank,
Not a bargain has been entered into in the Peninsular
or South American Bonds, if we except Grenada ; De-
ferred at 3R ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
55; and Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 89.
Railway Shares participate in the steadiness of the
public securities, although the dealings have been
limited. We quote Caledonian 37 to 37i; Eastern
Counties, 16 to 161; Great Western, 99i to 98i;
Brighton, 438; North Western, 1531 to 1521; South
Western, 54i ex new; North British, 264 i; North
Stafford, 7 to 7i; South Eastern, 31 to 311; and Northern
of France, Ilk.
