MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000
bags, including 1,000 bags American on speculation. Prices
rose hd. per lb. on the American news. Shares were dull,
and not so good.
It is satisfactory to find, by the private accounts received
from Canada to-day, that the subject of the extension of
railways is most warmly supported ; and not a little anxiety
was experienced at the report sent out some time since
(but which was totally unfounded, as ulterior results have
demonstrated), that the Great Western Canada Railway pro-
ject was about to be abandoned. The vitality of this really
great undertaking is now insured, and the managing com
mittee are only awaiting the proper time for the commence-
ment of the operations of the Company in real earnest.
The commercial accounts from Quebec are, upon the whole,
of a satisfactory. character. It cannot be denied that the
prospect of a war, h,pwever remote, between this country and
the United States may, for a time at least, check a full tide of
commercial operations, unless something of a satisfactory
character is decided, so as to guarantee the continuance of
peace.
The Sun of this evening contains so full an account of the
political and commercial intelligence, received by the Acadia,
that but a very few remarks are necessary upon those topics
under this head. The anticipation that the corn-laws would
be altered, so as readily to admit of the importation of Ame-
rican flour into this country for consumption had been as
" oil thrown upon the troubled ocean," in quieting the war
party in almost all the states.

have since advanced to 94%. The settlement is in the
course of adjustment and it turns out to be a Bear
