MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
_

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
6,000 bales. The market was lively. American at full
rates, and Surat and Brazil a point higher. The de-
mand for Shares was but limited, but prices were firmer.
The Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport Railway Bill
passed the House of Lords on Friday last, and only now
awaits the royal assent. As regards the intrinsic merits
of this line, it will be sufficient to state that the Man-
chester and Leeds Railway Company have already made
arrangements with the directors for securing possession
of it.

The Vernon, arrived from the Cape of Good Hope,
brings dates of April 21, but no definite news, as yet, of
the expedition against the Kafirs. It seems, indeed, to
be rather a matter of uncertainty whether our troops
will melt with any decided resistance, or be pounced
upon as before, by straggling parties, guerilla fashion.
The breakwater at the Cape was not likely to be made
yet for want of funds. Dr. Smye, a talented gentleman,
who graduated in England, had been unfortunately
drowned by the upsetting of his boat in Mossel Bay.
There were liberal subscriptions making for the Irish
and Scotch.

The advices from the West India islands advert, in
some instances, to the prevalence of dry weather, and
this was the case in parts of Jamaica; but generally, the
planters had no reason to complain, and the yield will be
much more abundant than usual. The want of shipping
to bring the produce to England appears to be much
felt at Jamaica, Trinirlad, and other of the colonies.

It aprears to us, after a careful perusal of accounts
from various quarters, that the crops on the continent,
as well as here, promise abundantly, and that the at-
tempt to get up corn is likely to be defeated by the
continued heavy imports here.
In one day, the 15th instant, there arrived at Havre,
sufficient flour and grain to supply Paris with a week's
consumption.

The Stock Market is less bueyant to-day, owing to the
impression that the corn market may be run up again.
Consols have been 581 and are now at 88i. The New
Three•and•a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 90* 1, and
the Three per Cents. Reduced, 881 It is said that
the jobbers in the house are short of stock, and wish to
get prices down a little, as usual, in order temporarily to
turn their accounts. Exchequer-bills keep up at 7s. to
103. premium, and there is no want of money.
The Foreign Securities are dull, though steady in
value. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 32 to
321, and Spanish Three per Cents. 348. Brazil Stock
is at 834. Mexican Bonds have been again marked 201.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are worth 581.
There is no announcement yet respecting the dividend
on Portuguese Bonds, but many are sanguine of an ar-
rangement ere the Duke of Palmella leaves for Lisbon,
which he is shortly expected to do.

The Share Market is dull to-day, although prices are
maintained at about Saturday's range. Aberdeen are
29 to 29i ; Eastern Counties, 20k a ; Caledonian, 301 k;
Great Northern, 2 to 24 ; Great Western Quarter, 17i ;
Brighton, 54i to 55 ; North Western, 179 to 180 ;
Manchester and Leeds, 103 ; Newcastle and Berwick,
28; ; North Stafford, 10 to ; South-Eastern, 37i ; and
York and Newcastle, 37k. Ceylon are 4 ; and
