MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERYooL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—The trans.
actions of the week are lug-, the (;renter pint bring
e?rri,rl into eff,'Ct front the commencement to the close of
Tuesday, since which, although n good extent of bus;ness
is doing, there is not the same degree of spirit it, the
demand as there was the three first days of the week. The
market closed steadily at to per lb. advance, upon
our List quotations for Arm r,can de,criptions, and very
full rates for Brazil and Egypt iaos, India going otisteadily
at former prices. The saks to-day are 5,000 bales ; 8 500
ktieric,,n, and 150 Surat have bee taken on speculation,
and 1,000 American, for export. 1.700 bags of Sealand
Cotton ate declared for auction on Friday next.

The arrivals this morning are a French mail, and ship
letters from Western Africa, Ba:badoes and Nassau, N. I'.
Letters from Algiers by the last packet, complain of the
great dearness there of provisions, .ahich had got up con-
siderably. Beef was three francs the kilog. ; this was
owing to the providing for the expeditionary army.
A mixed Commission has been appointed of English and
French to examine the differences which have arisen
bt:tween the above parties, on the subject of the treaty of
Gum at Portendic.
We have a very great scarcity of arrivals this morning
from all quarters, which causes a dulness in the city both
in news and commercial affairs; but the deficiency is re-
lieved by the fineness of the weather; and a great number
of the members of the Stock Exchange will retire at an
early hour into the country, enjoying themselves until
Monday, when in all probability we shall have a number
of arrivals to report.
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were much
the same as last post day.
This day being the continuation of the Hebrew Pass-
over, few of .the persuasion will attend the Stock Exchange
or Foreign Marketi,pnasequently it is expected that very
little business will be done. ' There,does .not appear the
least spirit for speculation in.ei..ber of the markets.

HALF_ PAST ONE.
We copy the following from a Sydney commercial pa.
per, lately received :—" The frequent frauds which are
practised by persons getting into extensive credit, and ab-
sconding from their creditors, have at length aroused the
rn- rchanta, and they are about to form themselves into a
society for the protection of commerce, to be called the
Sydney Association, for the protection of trade, and a
public meeting is in contemplation for the purpose of deli-
berating upon the best means to protect the merchants and
trades from such imposition, and more particularly with a
view to prevent debtors from leaving the colony clan-
destinely."
Three American packet ships are now due, the 2d, 4'l],
and 7th inst., which we ma) expect in the course of next
week.

For these few days past very little has been doing in the
British Fouls, which, we ate informed, is attribtited to
an o 1 inion among the monied interest that, in the course
of neat w.ck. the Chancellor of the Exchequer will send
down ano i..e for a lo,tn. This appears very probable, as
money will Ise rc quircd for various purposes. The amount
Is mit f X oily known ; report says four or five millions.
