MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—As compared
with last week the demand during the present week has been
moderate, neither the trade nor speculations evincing the same
anxiety to buy, yet but for the operation of the latter the mar-
ket must have assumed a very inactive appearance, and it was
probable that our quotations of last week must have been re-
duced, as it is prices are rather in favour of buyers than other-
wise, particularly for the middle Ind lower qualities of Ame-
rican ; speculators have taken 9,800 bales of American, and 500
Surat, and Exporters, 100 Surats. The sales to-day are about
5,000 bales of all kinds.

better inquiry for Shares, but no material alteration in prices.

The British Funds continue as in the early part of the morn-
ing. Scarce a bargain doing, and up to the present time there
is not a feature worth noticing. Contrsry winds, with the
gale of last night, have prevented our having arrivals this morn-
ing, in consequence of which we are very dull in the City for
want of intelligence.
Consols are not so good as in the morning, when they were
896 for the Account ; at present, 89 sellets ; for Money,
88 Money continues scarce in the house at the rate of
6 per cent. Exchequer Bab, 8 7 prem. ; in Bank Stock no-
thing done ; India Bonds, 19 dis.

FLANDERS, DUTCH, AND HAM

BURGH MAILS.

BRUSSELS, FEE. 25.—Tbe average price of wheat
last week was 18f. 790., that of Rye llf. 51c.
The King arrived at Ostend yesterday at half-past
one o'clock, and set out for Ghent, where he was ex-
pected by the Queen, who had left Brusse:s at twe've
o'clock. Their Majesties arrived by a special train a:.
six o'clock at the Brussels station of the iron railway,
where carriages were ready to convey them and their
suite to the Palace.

BERLIN, FEB. 19.—Our finances appear to be in a
most flourishing condition according to the last accounts
which are made up every three 3ears. There is an excess
of 10 or 12 millions of dollars above the amount in
1838. This may Le considered as the best proof of the
progress of manufacture in Prussia during the last
three years, and of the increase of our commerce which
the Government endeavour by all means to encourage.
The benefits and advantages of the Customs Union,
which many persons at first doubted, become more and
more manifest.

THE HAGUE, FEB. 25.—We learn that her Royal
Highness the Princess of Orange is ill, and confined to
her bed. The cold and damp weather have had an un-
favourable effect on her health.

We are happy to announce the entire completion, in
ten days only, of the immense work of cutting a
channel in the sea from Nicuve Deep to Amsterdam, in
spite of the difficulties of the execution. The first
ships from the sea have already arrived in our docks ;
some ships left yesterday to go to sea, and fifty lighters
went to the Nieuve Deep to recover the whole, or
part, of the cargoes of several East Indiamen now
lying there.
