MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night )
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
quiet. Sales 2,000 to 2,500 bales, of which iOO were for ex-
portation. Shares were again very little dealt in.
The sale of Railway Shares by Messrs. Lamond was well
attended, and a good business was done at full rates. Glasgow,

The accounts from most parts of the country, arrived this
morning, represent that rains and storms have prevailed
almost universally, but with little damage. The benefit to
the crops by the fall of rain is anticipated to be incalculable.
The steady progress through Parliament of the Customs'
Duties Bill and the Corn-law question continues to be
matters ler congratulation in commercial circles here. It
will be seen by the Parliamentary proceedings of last night,
that the commercial alterations proposed by the Ministry
will speedily become law of the land, as in future stages of
those measures it is not anticipated that any serious opposi-
tion will be offered to the protectionists, as they are so called.
Nor is it expected that any very serious difficulty will arise
to impede mercantile pursuits even should Sir Robert Peel
deem it his duty to tender his resignation upon th.,
contingency of being defeated upon the him Coercion mea-
sure, as presuming the non-acceptance of such resignation
by her Majesty, and an appeal to the country being inevi-
table, the reins of office would unquestionably be held suffi-
ciently long to enable Parliament to pass the more important
Bills which are now before it. Upon the question of the
sugar duties there is a belief very current that the present
Act will he continued for another year, without any material
modification.

The contents of the private commercial letters by the ex-
press, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, are rather more
satisfactory than those received by the last opportunity. Still
the stocks of British manufactured goods were largs, and the
money, comparatively speaking, rather tight.
In the Consul Market there has been a considerable degree
of business displayed to-day. For th, Account the price
has been reduced to 943 The Reduced Three per Cents.
