MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet,
but firmer. Prices of all kinds remained unchanged.
The market was well supplied with mid, and good mid.
The market was rather bare of the lower and higher
rates. The sales were 5,000 bales, including 3,000
bales American, at 64d. to 7d. per lb. Surat were 4id.
to 51d. per lb. In Railway Shares business was very
limited, and prices were tending downwards.
The ship arrivals to-day bring no news of general
interest.
The Funds have been very flat again. Consols are
/ for Friday, and 88i 4 for present transfer. Ex-
chequer-bills have been lls. to 145., premium. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 901 4, and
the Three per Cents. 881 1. Bank Stock is nominally
1961.
The Spanish market is more buoyant upon the pro-
posed capitalisation into Three per Cent. Stock of the
Five per Cent. Bonds and arrears of interest, and so far
the new loan of 1,000,0001. has had but little effect. The
Five per Cent. Bonds are 221 to 234, and the Three
per Cents. 31 to 313-. Portuguese Four per Cent. are
marked 31, Mexican Bonds have been 19 to 19i, Dutch
Two-and-Half per Cents. are 57i.
Railway Shares continue flat, and there is but little
doing. The settlement of the Account takes place to-
, morrow.

JULY 10.—The inings of the Members of the
Second Chamber of the States General is convoked for
Monday next, the 12th instant, at one o'clock, and it is
expected that the discussion on the new penal code will
commence within a clay or two after.
'..THE HAGUE, JULY' 7.—Yesterday the annual opening
of all the provincial states throughout all the provinces
of the kingdom took place. In this first sitting reports
were read on the individual state of each of the provinces
in regard to its commerce, navigation, emigration, &c.
It was understood that the number of ships which entered
the Meusein 1846, not including fishing vessels or herring
boats, amounted to 2,682, being an increase of 565 to 1845,
and of 840 to 1844. The vessels which left the Meuse
were 2,792, which also presents an increase of 785 to
1845, and of 741 to 1844. This augmentation is prin-
cipally owing to the constantly increasing importation
of goods from the Rhenish provinces. According to
the most accurate documents, the transport of goods
for the Rhine has been 67,4901, facts showing a dif-
ference of more than 26,661 to 1845, and 10,883 to
1843, a year in which the Rhenish navigation was the
most active.
The number of emigrants who left Rotterdam for
North America has augmented considerably, and
amounted to 1,895 Dutchmen. The Chamber of Com-
merce of Rotterdam attached great importance Co a
steam communication with North America ; but it ap-
pears that hitherto these efforts have not produced the
favourable results expected.
No branch of commerce has been more flourishing
within the past year than that of corn, and the navigation
has been most active in the harbours of the Baltic
and Archangel, where a very large amount of corn has
been imported in consequence of the dearth of
potatoes throughout the greater part of Europe. The
new resources created by the law of the 30th
of May, 1847, cannot fail to augment yet further the
development of this part of our navigation. The new
commercial legislation, adopted by England, as had been
well foreseen, cannot fail to produce the most important
results upon our commerce. The constantly in-
creasing exportation of our agricultural produce
to England is manifested in the increasing exportation
of our cattle to that country. It amounted in 1844 to
3- 2
~ 8 horned cattle ,a4B ° and rsheep ; in 1845 to 7,912
-
horned cattle and 12,590 sheep ; in 1846 to 544 horned
cattle, and 47,726 sheep. The commerce with Germany
has been very active in corn and iron. Ship-building
has
upon the whole been more active. Two large mer-
chantmen were launched at Rotterdam in 1846, a brig
and a schooner,
ANTWERP, JULY 9.—ln the sitting of our provincial
council this day the Governor read a Ministerial dis-
patch, tch, announcing that the Government is occupied in
the formation or a super'er institution for commerce,
agriculture, and manutactures at Antwerp, aided by
subsidies of the state, the province, and the commune.
The Government requests the concurrence of all the
provinces to this * foundation The dispatch was received
with great batisfae:if, . . -
