MONEY and

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton•nmarket at Liverpool yesterday was very
heavy. Sales, 2,500 bales. American realised 4d. to
s}d. per lb. In Railway Shares there was very little
business done, and a better feeling prevailed.
This has been the most cheerful day we have had in
the City for some time past. The excellent issue of
yesterday's arrangements, testifying to the security of
property in this country, and the preference given to
moral rather than physical•force demonstrations, is likely
to be of permanent effect, and to secure uninterrupted
tranquillity to the country for some time to come, with-
out hindering the cause of social and political reform.
It is natural to presume, therefore, that all parties,
whether the employers or the employed, will
feel more disposed to follow their pursuits with
their wonted spirit, being freed from the ap-
prehension of a sudden derangement of business.
Uncertainty in all affairs, public or private, is the worst
possible evil. Entertaining these opinions in common
with nearly all around us, we sincerely hope ere long
to chronicle an improvement in every branch of com-

merce.
The mails from the Continental kingdoms bring no
intelligence of any particular improvement in the state
of monetary and mercantile markets, such is the want
of confidence; but at Paris the funds have decidedly
rallied.
Accounts from Canada state that " great excitement
has been produced in Canada by the discovery of some
gold mines, which have been discovered near Quebec,
on the lordship of Mr. De Lery. As some persons who
are interested in mining speculatic ns appear astonished
that the discovery an gold mine so near Quebec should

frequentlyt his,it may
existence t be

try of the neighbourhood, and that the district tt through
which the stream flows has for years been known by the
inhabitants under the name of Le Val d'Or. It was

corroborated these
of Mr. Cunningham, who has spent several
years in similar •
pursuits.
In the second report, pub-
lished by this
gentleman there • •
is given the exact
amount of gold obtained '
from several washings, and,
although these experiments were conducted in a hasty
manner, and with
York, and it has been
imperfect implements, they
have incontestably established
and the cheapness and facility the value of the mine,
the gold has been sent to liTe in working it. Some of
pronounced of the richest and
purest
is one important subject conquality. There
working of gold mines wnieltield with the
should not lose sight of, namely, extremecapitalists
cheap-
ness—being extremely simple, and admitting
carried on by one or two scientific mineralogists,
of,
gold
is by workmen procured on the spot. The sotsld
is usually found in the bed of some stream, either in the
form of dust, or in rounded masses of, various sizes,
_
associated and frequently cemented with the gravel which
forms the bed of the river. The gravel is collected and
subjected to a process called riddling, by which a
portion of the mineral in the form of dust
gravitates to the bottom of the seive, and escapes into a
trough underneath, which is gently filled with crude
mercury. The conglomerated portion i•, by the process
of riddling, detached from the slaty gravel, and escaping
through the holes of the seive, is received along with dust
in the trough. The gold and mercury coming in con-
tact in this vessel turm what is called an amalgam,
this amalgam is then subjected to a gentle heat in a re-
tort, and the mercury becoming volatilized is received in
another vessel, whilst the gold remains behind in a pure
state in the retort; it is now ready fir the Mint, and its
transport to market is unattended with any farther ex-
pense."

There has been a buoyant market to-day for the
public securities, and although there are still doubts ex-
pressed as to .the real state of the account, the proba-
bility is that the Bears predominate, and have
yet a good ,deal to buy baek. Consols for
