MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. i
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
about 4.000 bales, including 2.500 American at 44d. to
; 400 Pernttm and Maranham. at 7ld. to 84 1. ; 700
Maceio, at Sid. to Bd. ; 500 Egyptian, at Sid. to
9id. ; and 200 Surat, at 4d. to sd. per lb. Prices re-
main without alteration. For long staple cotton there
had been a fair demand ; but for short staple there had
not been much inquiry.
The Share Market was dull, and prices generally
lower, excepting Newcastle and Berwick.
We-have one or two arrivals from th 3 Colonies, but
although the advices are not of later date, except from
the Cape of Good Hope, there are some points of in•
terest therein. It appears that on the frontier the
Kafirs continued their petty depredations, but up to the
end of May had not succeeded in facing anywhere even
detached parties of our troops.
From Pen Phillip there is news of March. 12. The
colony was in a prosperous state, but although heavy
rains had fallen late in the season, the weather had
again become too dry, and the usual sheep " runs" were
in many cases deserted for stations further distant,
where water is procurable There had been again a
large and influential meeting in opposition to
the transportation system, but this loses much
of its p. eaent interest from the circumstance of the home
Government having resolved materially to restrict trans-
portation. The great grievane,e• with the Port Philip-
pians is their annexation to Sydney, towards the ex-
penses of which they contribute so heavily, and on
which account they so earnestly desire a " separation."
At Adelaide, South Australia, in February, there had
been a conflagration, by which property was destroyed
to the amount of 5,0001. or 6,0001. The revenue of the
colony •was very flourishing.
The English Funds have been rather heavy again,
and there has been no speculation. Consols for money
have realised 884 to 884, and for time 89 to Exche-
quer-bills have been 9s. to 12s. premium. The New

PIRACY ON THE COAST OF IRELAND.
Admiralty, July 17, 1847.
Sir,— In return to 11r. Cooper's letter of this day's date, re-
lating to the Olive Branch having been plundered off Erris
Head of her cargo of corn and meal, and requesting that
additional force may be stationed off that part of the coast of
Ireland, for the protection of grain-laden ships, I am com-
manded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to
state, for the information of the committee fir managing the
affairs of Lloyd's, that an addi ional steamer has been or-
dered to the west coast of Ireland, for the special purpose of
putting a stop to this system of piracy.
I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) IL G. WARD.
W. Dobson, Esq., Lloyd's.
