MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
There was a good business done in C Won at Liverpool yesterday,
and prices were very steadily supported. Sales about 8,030 bales,
1,000 being ou speculation ; 300 bales Brazil went at to 6d. •
300 Egyptian at sd. to Gd. ; 400 Surat at 23,d. to 3d. per lb. ; and
American at 334 to sd.

The market was good for the old shares, but scrips were lower.
By a direct arrival we have accounts of September 24 from Van
Dieman's Land. The colonists appeared to be greatly interested in
the admission of their grain for consumption in England, and will
be gratified therefore at the new arrangement of the duties, al-
though they no doubt would have preferred a differential duty.
From advices of August 16 from New Zealand, it appears that a
pitched battle between the natives, under Held, and cur troops, was
daily expected at the Bay of Islands.

In papers of September 10, from Sydney, it is stated that the
duty upon colonial and imported spirits was expected to be re-
duced ene-half.

The fbllowing satisfactory Information on the state of the Man-
chester market, has been kindly furnished us by Messrs. M'Nair and
Co., of that place :

" Our last, dated the 31st ult., would prepare you for the gradual
amendment in the trade of this district. The intervening period has
realised our anticipations. Without any animation, and notwith-
standing the reatarkaMy anomalous position of the Money Market,
which has rendered discounts upon paper of a purely commercial
character, almost unattainable, a very considerable business has
been transacted during the month on both cloth and yarn, attended
Well higher prices upon many descriptions of each. Had it not been for
the scarcity of money, the Improvement would have been much
greater, and prices generally would have ruled higher. The latter,
however, is not to be regretted, but it is to be lamented that a legiti-
mate trade should be interrupted and restricted in its expansion by
unwarranted and indescribably mischievous speculations. Matters,
however, with respect to the railway deposits cannot remain, we
apprehenel, much longer as they are. When they Lave terminated,
and a relaxation of the present tightness of money becomes available;
and when to them mu be added the probability of an early settle-
ment of the cora-law question, a further improvement will occur
in business, not only here, but in ether manufacturing localities."
Everything is rising in the English Stock Market, and the further
improvement is to N per cent. The lodgments with the Ac-
countant-General being so large, If only a portion of them be invested
in stock, the effect upon prices must be very decided, and coupled
with the daily purchases for the Sinking Fuud, the Courts of Chan-
cery, &e., must act as a powerful counterpoise to the influence of
even the most adverse political events. 111 fact, with such an in-
evitable demand for Stock, the Bears become comparatively power-
less. Consols have been 953, , but arc now 96% for Money, and
fie% for Time. Exchequer-bills have been also again higher, viz.,
325. to 365. premium. Bank Stock has been quoted 207% to 20814 .
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 99% to %. East India
Stock is worth 236 to 258.

The Foreign Stocks are firmer ; but, except in Dutch stock, there
has nut been much doing. Spanish are nominal, Portuguese Scour
per Cents. realise 601;, Mexican have touched 30;a, and Brazilian 83.
Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cutts. have been 593,4, and the Four per
Cents. 9434 to 95 IA .
The Share market has been decidedly better to-day.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The Chester Cup betting
itwas fiat, and unmarked by
any particular movement ;is only necessary for us to
call attention to an improvement in Intrt pid, in favour
of whom several commissions were executed at 40 to 1,
35 to I, and 1,000 to 30. Best Bower, %Vhinstone,
Sweatment, and Cataract were firm, at the prices quoted
against them. The Derby transactions were few in num-
ber, and of small importance ; from the state of the
market, however, we should not be surprised to see an
early change in the position of Scott's two favourites ;
Brocarlo is losing ground, and lago " looking up."

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.

LOSS OF THE CATARAQUI EMIGRANT SHIP.
414 LIVES LOST.
The following particulars of the loss of the above ves-
sel are condensed from the Port Philip and Hobart
Town papers, received et Lloyd's this morning :
" It is our melancholy duty to lay before the public
the particulars of the most awful shipwreck which has
ever occurred in these colonies—the total wreck of the
emigrant ship Cataraqui, upon the iron bound coast of
King's Island. How terribly does this catastrophe give
weight to the observations we made in our last number
upon the imperative necessity of constructing light•
houses on the shores of Bass's Strains,- whilst daily and
hourly hundreds of valuable lives are incurring the same
dangers as those who have thus been sacrificed.
The following particulars are from Mr. Guthrie, the
chief mate, who, with his eight fellow-survivors, reached
the shore almost in a state of nudity, having of course
lost everything they possessed.
The Catarequi, Captain C. W. Finlay, sailed from
Liverpool on the 20th of April, with 369 emigrants, and
a crew, iucluuing two doctors, M. C. Carpenter—and
Edward Carpenter (brothers), of forty-six souls.. The
emigrants were principally from Bedfordshire, Stafford-
shire, Yorkshire, and Nottingliatushire. About 120
of the passengers were married, with families, and, in
all, seventy-three children. On the 3d of August, at
seven in the evening, the ship was hove-too, and con-
tinued laying to until three, Aar ,of the 4th. At half-
pest four, it being quite dark and raining hard—blowing
a perfect gale and the sea running mountains high—the
ship struck on a reef, situate on the west coast of King's
Island, entrance of Bass's Straits. No opportunity had
offered for taking an observation, to enable the captain
to ascertain the ship's course, for four days prior to the
ship striking ; and from the dead reckoning kept, it wa=
presamed that the vessel was in 141 deg. 22 min. east
longitude;and 32 min. 17 sec. south, which would make
her between sixty or seventy miles from King Island.
Immediately the ship struck she was sounded, and four
feet water was in the hold. The scene of confusion and
misery that ensued at this awful period it is impossible to
describe. All the passengers attempted to rush upon deck,
and many succeeded in doing so, until the ladders were
knocked down by the workings of the vessel, when the
shrieks from men, women and children, from beiow,
were terrific., calling on the watch on deck to assist
them. The crew to a man were en deck the moment the
ship struck, and were instantly employed in handing up
the passengers. Up to the time the vessel began break-
ing up, it is supposed that between 300 and 400 were
got on deck by the extraordinary exertions of the crew.
At this time the sea was breaking over the ship on the
leis-board side, sweeping the decks, every sea taking away
more or less of the passengers. About 5 A.m. the ship
careened right over on her larboard side, washing away
boats, bulwarks, spars, and a part of the cuddy, and
literally swept the decks. At this critical period the
captain gave orders to cut away the masts, hoping the
vessel would right, to enable the crew to get on deck the
passengers left below. Everything was done that could
Le under the circumstances to put the vessel upright, but
all to no purpose. The passengers below were now all
drowned, the ship being full of water, and the captain
gave those on deck directions to cling to that part of the
wreck then above water, until daylight, hoping that
the spars would be of some service in making a
breakwater-under lee, and thus enable the survivors to
get on shore in the morning. When day broke we
found the stern of the vessel washed in, and numerous
dead bodies floating around the ship, some hanging upon
the racks. Several of the passeegers and crew (about
200 altoeather), were still holding on to the vessel. The
sea breaking over, and every wave washing some of
them away. Abeut four in the afternoon the vessel
sterted amidships, at the fore part of the main rigging,
when immediately some 70 or 100 were launched into
the tumultuous and remoreeless waves ! The survivors
ran ridge lines along the side of the wreck, to enable
them to hold on. The remainder of the upper deck
now began to break up and wash away. A buoy was
now made, and floated towards the shore, but it could
not he got nearer than twenty yards from the shore,
owing to its getting entangled with the sea weed on the
rocks, and there was not one on shore to catch it and
secure it on the sand. The fury of the waves continued
unabated, and about five o'clock the wreck parted by the
forerigging, and so merry souls were submerged in the
waters, that only severity survivors were left, crowded on
the forecastle, who were then lashed to the w reek. The sea
continued breaking over them, the winds raging, and
the rain heavy all night, and thus the poorcreatures eonti-
nued. Numbers died and fell overboard, or sunk and
were drowned at the places where they were lathed.
When day broke the following morning, it eves discovered
that only about thirty were left alive. The sea was now
making a clean breach into the forecastle, the deck of
which was rapidly breaking up. About this time, whilst
cumbers were helplessly clinging to the bows, and con-
tinued dropping off without the possibility of succour,
the captain attempted to reach the shore, but was un-
able, and with some assistance regained the wreck. The
lashings of the survivors were now undone, in order to
give them the last chance of life. Mr. Thomas Guthrie,
the chief mate, now on the spritsail yard, was washed
out to the bowsprit ; he saw the captain, the second
mate, and steward cinging to the .bows, with about
eighteen or twenty dead bodies on the fragment of the
wreck. Mr. Guthrie was now driven to a detached part
of the wreck, but soon found it impossible to live with
such a sea breaking over him; ho seized a piece of plank
under his arm, leaped into the water, and was carried
over the reef and got ashore. Ife found a passenger,
who had got ashore during the night, and one of the
crew. John Robinson plunged into the water when he
saw the mate ashore, and partly swimming, and partly
driven, reached land. Five other seamen followed, and
landed dreadfully exhausted. Almost immediately after
the vessel totally disappeared. 'Thus, out of 423 sonls
on board, only nine were saved,
The names of those saved are—Mr. Thomas Guthrie,
chief mate; Solomon Brown, emigrant; Juhn Roberts,
William Jones, Francis Millen, John Simpson, John
Robertson, and Peter Johnson, able seamen; and Wm.
Blackstock, apprentice. • They had neither fhod nor
drink from the time the vessel struck (Sunday) to
Tuesday afternoon, when they found one small tin of
preserved fowl ; after eating which they went and
laid down on the bush, having got a wet blanket out of
the water for their only covering, and being almost quite
destitute of clothes. The beach was strewed with
pieces of the wreck and portions of dead bodies in
horrible profusion. After a vain search for water, and
without finding any other survivors, they slept that
night in the bush. - Thu following morning they found
a cask of water on shore, bat were unable to make a
fire. However, about nine or ten o'clock in the fore-
noon they observed a smoke, which, presuming they
were on the main land, they imagined was a fire of the
natives. Shortly after they saw a white man ap-
proaching, who turned out to be Mr. David
Howie, residing upon the island. It seems Mr.
Howie., observing a portion of the wreck,
arranged to reconnoitre the whole island. As
Mr. Howie's boat was wrecked, there was no possibility
of leaving the island. The party, therfore, constructed
a hut, and remained five weeks, during which time they
were most hospitably provided for by Mr. Howie and his
party, according to their means, the supplies having to
be carried forty miles, over a most difficult road. On
the 7th of September they saw the Midge beating fur
the island, which took them off with much difficulty;
and by the aid of Mr. Howie, on Tuesday, September 9,
they larded at Hobson Bay, at half-past ten this day
(September 13).
Throughout the whole of these trying events the sur-
vivors give all praise to the captain and crew for their
exertions, and it was not until all hope was utterly ex-
tinguished that they left the vessel. Mr. Guthrie, the
mate, is also warmly commended. They employed them-
selves in hurt ing the dead bodies they picked up, the
mangled condition of many of which it is too painfully
horribie to describe; and they speak in the most grati-
fied manner of the exertions and aid of Mr. Howie and
his party of sealers, who reside upon King's Island.
The following is a list of the passengers, furnished by
Mr. Patterson, the emigration agent, with the exception
of eight or nine, whose names it was impossible to make
out correctly, the paper from which they were taken
being in a mutilated state:—namely,
Thomas and Ann Allen, and four children ; William
