MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 18.—There htishe- been
a lai ger attendanve of the trade in our Cotton Market this
week than for some time previously, notwithstanding the work-
ing short time continues to be almost universally adopted, anti
although holders of a.l descriptions have generally offered their
stocks freely, prices have not at all given way. The demand
to-day has been brisk, and the Market closed steady. Specu-
lators have taken 2,000 bales American and 130 Surat, and ex-
porters 550 bales American and 250 bales Surat.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JUNE 18.—We have again
to report an extremely limited business at the Stock Exchange,
and no alteration has taken place in the prices. Grand June •
tion, Half-shares, 101 ; Ditto, Quarter Shares, 25i; Lancaster
and Preston Junction, 281/2. Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell
visited the Exchange and Underwriters' Rooms tiiis afternoon ;
they were enthusiastically applauded by the Conservatives.
Both candidates addressed the members.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 18.—Market very
heavy—scarcely anything doing :—Great Western, 9011 ; Ditto,
Half Shares, 61; London and Birmingham, 158 ; London
and Brighton, 43 ; North Midland 67 ; Bank of Manchester 6i.
WEST INDIES.—Two packet ships have arrived from Jamaica
this morning, by which we have received Jamaica papers to the
16th May. The packets are the Swift and the Express. The
former sailed from St. Thomas's, May 15, Hayti, Slay 19 ; the
latter sailed from St. Thomas's, Slay 8, Hayti, Slay 12.
(From the Jamaica Papers. )
SLAVER WRECKED.—The Brig Troubadour, Spanish co-
lours, with 289 slaves on board, bound to Berbice, was
wrecked on the 6th of February, on the Cayeas Islands, and
all on board were saved, and arrived at Nassau. The vessel
was totally lost. The above papers are entirely filled with
the English and American news. No news in them respecting
the President steamer, with the exception of the rumours in
our English papers concerning the above vessel.
We have also received the Demerara papers to May 6th

" Great complaints are made of the inconvenience arising
from the present condition of the currency of the Colony, to
which it is earnestly hoped that the Court of Policy will apply
some speedy remedy.—(These papers are also void of interest.)
The Barbadoes papers, which we have received to the 9th of
May, state that the great blessing which the country has re-
ceived is a plentiful rain, which fell in the greater part of
the island on Thursday night and early yesterday morn-
ing. This delightful and most welcome weather has given new
life and spirit to the agriculturists ; the labourers are very busy
planting corn, peas, &c.
The Swift packet deserves her name this voyage, having
arrived on Thursday in twenty-six days.
We have received papers from the Northern Islands, none of
which possess any interest.
Bermuda papers have been received via St. Thomas's of the
6th May. We collect nothing from them but that the Lieut. -
Governor Reid bud met the Colonial Parliament, and matters
were going on smoothly. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Harvey
had arrived from Jamaica. _ _ _

( From the Port of Spain Gazette.)
His Lordship the Bishop of Barbadoes may, we understand,
be expected to arrive here on Thursday or Friday next. Hi.
Lordsh p intends to leave Barbadoes in a steamer.
Our only arrivals of consequence this morning, are two
mails from Jamaica. The latest dates are of the 15th May,
ith papers of the same date, which are extremely barren of
intelligence. The packet Swift brings a freight of 6,000/. in
gold dust. The Colonial House of Assembly at Jamaica had
been profogued from May 18 to June 22. Those papers do not
mention anything about the crops, or the working of the
labourers.

Till FUNDS.
This being Saturday, as usual the British Funds remain in a
state of stagnation, as well as all eeseriptions of commercial
affairs. Nothing is talked of at present in the City but the
elections; parties are busily engaged in canvassing both for
the Whigs and Tories.
The British Funds opened this morning as they left off yes-

HALF-PAST ONE.
We cannot expect any further arrivals from New York fin •
a week to come, of later dates than already received. The
Great Wt stern leaves the above city this day, the 19th of June,
and the Acadia leaves Boston on the 16th inst., and Halifax
on the 18th or 19th inst.
The packet-ship of the 7th inst. from New York, being a
sailing vessel, is not yet due, and the date 01 her arrival is un-
certain.
We have again to state that the British Funds remain in the
same state as in the early part of the morning, firm and steady,
but without any business doing. '1 here was a report that Mr.
Crawford and Mr. Pattison had resigned, leaving the field to Lord
J. Russell and Sir M. Wood; but up to the present time we do
not hear anything official on the subject, and the report. does
not gain ground. There does not appear to have been any
