MONEY and CO ISIMER.CIA 7.4 NEWT,

(From The San of Last Night.)
The sales of Coton at Livifrpool :,esterday wcri 5,000
inc,ltaling 4.600 American, at 41. to 5-fid; Pernam
and ii,ianinhara, at cud 200 ligypti,x, at 630
to 7P ; and 50 ;',e,a w,is quiet, end
ord. American gnaliti2s were 4-d per lb. lower.
In a eommunicatic^ just received from -Upper Canada
we are advised thus:—

" We are happy to observe that the directors of the
St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad have resolved upon
commencing that important work, and of proceeding
with it through the eastern townships, without present
reference either to the general body of scripholders in
London, or to the Americans. We have no doubt that
by pursuing this course, they will ultimately procure
ready subscriptions in England to complete it to the
province line, or so far towards it as would be necessary
for a purely Canadian. There is no question that it will
be of great advantage to Montreal, and as the first see-
tions which are proposed to be completed, and at once
opened to the public, will command a large traffic ; the
atten:ion of capitalists will be effectually attracted."
The Petered packet has arrived at Falmouth, with the
mails from Brazil. If we except the receipt of the mer-
cantile letters, which are usually sent by the packet, this
arrival brings nothing new of the slightest import-
ance, the advises being anticipated both from the
northern ports of Brazil and the River Plate. The
coffee market at Rio Janeiro had been flat during the
month of July, particularly for the lower qualities.
About the average quantity had ben shipped
during the month, the greater part of which was
as usual for the United States marka. There was no
sugar in the market sufficient to govern prices, and as
they had not been a Ivised of,the gassing of the British
Sugar Bill, nothing had been done in anticipation.
The Money Market was easy, and discounts were
obtained on comparati, e'y moderate terms ; and the
rate of exchange had been as high as 27d., but the chief
part of the business done for the packet was at
264. The Governrmnt have remitted 20,0001. on
account of the dividends payable in Europe, and
the advance in the rate of exchange will be to them an
object of some importance. As the free-trade measures
adopted may be expected to stimulate the export of all
the staple productions of Brazil, there is every probabi-
lity that the rate of exchange will yet advance further.
In the Consol Market to-day there have been some
heavy sales made. The price for the Account is heavy
at 95,a, and for Money at 95k. The premium upon
Exchequer-bills has advanced to 18s. India Stock is
at 259.

Very little business has been done in the Foreign
Market this morning. Portuguese Four per Cents, have
been 42, the Mexican are at 258, Brazilian are at 85;
'he Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 59t, and
the Four per Cents for the Account 921 ex dividend.
The Share Market is flat. Money appears to be rather
more in request.
In letters just n ceived from private sources we are
informed that Mr. Hamilton, the excellent representa-
tive of the British Government at Rio, is coming home
to recruit his health. The exchange on London was
quoted at the latest date at 264.
