and influence with her Majesty in obtaining support for
the profession, and a share of that patronage which was
at present enjoyed by foreigners.

MoiNE 11 and COMMERCIAL .ri EW S,

CITY, QUARTER TO Th'REE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the sales
were 5,000 bales, principally American, for export, and
at former rates, except inferior, which being scarcer
had a tendency to advance. Railway shares were dull,
and in some instances lower.
In the absence of home news the foreign accounts
are again. regarded with interest. The progress of the
Austrians, and the preparations of the French., together
with the prospect of another battle between the Danes
and Germans, the unfortunate bombardment. of Prague,
and a host of minor circumstances, have ex cited a very
unfavourable impression.
Such studied efforts are made to misrepresent the
probable effects of a modification of the Navil;ration-laws,
that we feel a pleasure in furnishing a practical proof
of the advantage derived from their temporary sus-
pension last year. A Canadian correspond(nit states—
Our forwarders have this season put upon our in-
land wattrs eight new steamers, adapted to the superior
facilities now afforded by our canals. Of these craft,
the Commerce, now from Buffalo, with copper ore,
belonging to Messrs. M'Phersen and Crane,. may serve
as a type. She is of about three hundred tons burden,
and will carry from 2,800 to 3,000 barrels of flour. Her
construction is that of the old vessels, built to
pass the locks on the Lachine Canal, with her
paddles working in a kind of recess near the stern so as
not to project beyond the general line of the vessel's
dli stem to
craft. Her engine being ' chock aft,' and her. boilers on
deck, her • hold is thus rendered as complete and
side; only she is double the size of these now antiquated
unencumbered as that of a sailing vessel. to
within two feet of the transons, and there is no
danger to her cargo from the escape of
steam. Her engine is of about fifty horse-
Power; there is a hurricane deck over all, from
be no doubt that thseoy
eck is under cover. The Commerce has no accom-
moda '
taw' except for deck passengers; some of the
Othe* '-c -.
thatwill furnish everything
40 er, such as the blithlid• have good
accent ,-;-',,, . ht: 'au
_their *salty of ananteg the
voyage direct to the extremity of the lakes, there can
means of conveyance for emigrants bound West.
A number of emigrants have proceeded by these
vessels to Detroit and to Chatau,ve fiftymiles higher up,
y at the trifling rate of five dollars per head, and we are
informed that if a sufficient number
they would be taken to ports on ekcould. be collected,
eMichisa n, for a
very small additional charge. Thus, the monostthdeesimraabinle-
, the emigrant em-
barking at a European port, can be
this township, where he intends to conveyed almost.. to
without charging his embarkation moree in Mechigan,
through the whole route—an
inexpressible than once,
con-
venience to these poor people. The short
rience of the suspension of the N'ari exPe.
last year, affords us some specimen of _i.ws
bers of European emigrants which we might eertn;
in the St. Lawrence were the restrictions abolished, and
an opportunity given to the vessels that bring them' out
to take freight back for the British market. But our
facilities now for inland navigation are much greater
than last year. With the emigrants, too, would doubt-
less come cargoes of goods, as there is generally room
for some goods in emigrant ships; while, on the other
hand, the competition among the numerous vessels
coming for this purpose, would doubtless do much to
keep the outward freight for flour, &c., at a moderate
rate. Next year, unless we have overdone the emi-
grant tax, we hope to see this trade proceed with great
briskness."
The Funds have been rather flatter to-day on account
of the foreign news and the further decline in the French
rente, but the market is intrinsically buoyant. Consols
have been 84 1, and 832 i. They are now rather
better. Exchequer-bills have been 38s. to 40s. premium,
India Bonds are 20s. premium. Bank Stock is 191
to 192.

In Foreign Bonds there is no activity. Mexican are
16-4- to k, and Grenada 12k. Spanish Three per Cents. are
22i to i; and Portuguese Four per Cents. 16 to 17.*
Brazil Stock is 66 to 69.

Railway Shares are again flatter, the North Western
suffering most. There are various reports to account
for this. Some say the dividends will be bad, others
that more money is wanted, and others again that Mr.
Creed has resigned. We vouch, however, for none of
these statements.
