MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
very firm. Sales 10,000 bales, including 4,000 Ameri-
can on speculation. Shares were dull.

The difficulties which have heretofore been experi-
enced in obtaining a direct railway communication from
the heart of London to Windsor and its vicinity, are
likely soon to be entirely removed. Every one who has
enjoyed a trip to Windsor complains of the immense time
taken up, by being compelled to go to Paddington ;
time being taken up, as much and more, than the
whole distance is clone fron, the terminus to
Slough. The directors of the South Western
Company are about extending their line, by Act of
Parliament, from Nine Elms to the Waterloo and
London Bridges. Terms have been agreed upon of a
most satisfactory character with the Windsor and
Slough, and the Staines and Richmond Companies, to
afford rapid intercourse between the City and those
delightful places of retreat just named. We
have been favoured with a copy of the terms of an ar-
rangement which has been come to between the several
parties to carry out this great object. It is said:—
" The South Western directors, by joining the
Staines and Richmond and the Windsor and
Staines Companies, will give to Windsor direct
railway communication with the best London
termini, viz., at Waterloo and London-bridges, via
Staines and Richmond ; also with Southampton, the
Isle of Wight, and the West of England, with Gosport,
Portsmouth, Chichester, Worthing, Brighton, Hastings,
Folkstone, Dover, Ramsgate, and every other place of
note in the south-west, south, and south-eastern parts
of the kingdom.
" The Great Western offers a railway from Windsor to
Slough (a distance of two miles) to many a more incon-
venient mode than by the present omnibuses, and beyond
that they offer nothing whatever that cannot be obtained
at Slough. Nothing whatever is said of a better ter-
minus which would set the passengers down in London,
but the Paddington station is still to be the Great
Western's terminus."

There are later accounts from Sydney, Port Philip,
and New Zealand to-day. Upon the whole they are of
a satisfactory nature. At New Zealand a portion of
the colony had been declared under military law,
namely, Parirua. The town of Willington is excluded
from the ban of military law. At Port Philip the sys-
tem of boiling down sheep to produce te.ll9w continued
with much activity. Business was brisk.
In the New Three-and -a-Quarter per Cents. for
Money a bargain was made this morning at 97i with
the dividend. Consols for the Account are at 95j
and for Money the price is fully 95k. Exchequer-bills
opened at 155., but are now at 12s. premium only. India
Stock has been sold at 25*.

Spanish Bonds have been steady to-day at • 36k, and
the Three-per Cents. at 37k. A very heavy market has
ruled for the Four per Cent. Portuguese Bonds—the
present price is 404. Mexican Five per Cents. are a
shade lower than they were on Saturday last.
The Railway Share Market is flat. -Very little busi-
ness has been transacted this morning.
