MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm, but
without animation. Sales 5 000 bales, at an advance of
nearly ','d. per lb. on the quotations of this day week.
Shares were dull.
An arrival from Sydney furnishes advices of Oct. 24 ;
these are of a most satisfactory character. The revenue,
which for the last two or three years has been
steadily on the decline, and which only began
to rally a few months back, is now improving, and exhibits a
material increase, viz., 2614 per cent. in the total income for
the thirst quarter of the year 1845. The territorial revenue
was particularly flourishing, and agricultural or pastoral la-
bourers were in great demand. With mechanics the colony
• was well supplied.
