noINEy and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the sales
were 5,000 bales, principally American, for export, and
at former rates, except inferior which being scarcer
had a tendency to advance. Railway shares were dull,
and in some instances lower.
In the absence of home news the foreign accounts
are again regarded with interest. The progress of the
Austrians, and the preparations of the French, together
with the prospect of another battle between the Danes
and Germans, the unfortunate bombardment of Prague,
and a host of minor circumstances, have excited a very
unfavourable impression.
Such studied efforts are made to misrepresent the
probable effects of a modification of the Navigation-laws,
I that we feel a pleasure in furnishing a practical proof
of the advantage derived from their temporary sus-
pension last year. A Canadian correspondent states—
" Our forwarders have this season put upon our in..
land waters eight new steamers, adapted to the superior
facilities now afforded by our canals. Of these craft,
the Commerce, now from Buffalo, with copper ore,
belonging to Messrs. M'Phersen and Crane, may serve
as a type. She is of about three hundred tons burden,
and will carry from 2,800 to 3,000 barrels of flour. Her
construction is that of the old vessels, built to
pass the locks on the Lachine Canal, with her
paddles working in a kind of recess near the stern so as
not to project beyond the general line of the vessel's
side; only she is double the size of these sow antiquated
craft. Her engine being ' chock aft,' and her boilers on
deck, her hold is thus rendered as complete and
unencumbered as that of a sailing vessel to
within two feet of the transons, and there is no
"anger to her cargo from the escape of
accommodation, and from their capacity

steam. Her engine is of about fifty horse-
Power; there is a hurricane deck over all, from
stem to stern, so that everything on the main-
decksfooore deck

is under cover. The Commerce has no*

through the whole route—an inex re than once,
con-
venience to these poor people. TheP shortibio expe-
rience of the suspension of the Narit last year, affords us some specimen of the
num-
bers of uropean emigrants which we might expect
in the St. Lawrence were the restrictions abolished, and
an opportunity given to the vessels that bring them out
to take freight back !or the British market. But our
facilities now for inland navigation are much greater
than last year. With the emigrants, too, would doubt-
less come cargoes of goods, as there is generally room
for some goods in emigrant ships; while, on the other
hand, the competition among the numerous vessels
coming for this purpose, would doubtless do much to
keep the outward freight for flour, &c., at a moderate
rate. Next year, unless we have overdone the emi-
grant
tax, we hope to see this trade proceed with great 4
briskness."
means

The Funds have been rather flatter to-day on account
of the foreign news and the further decline in the French
rente, but the market is intrinsically buoyant. Consols
have been 83i I, and 83i They are now rather
better. Exchequer-bills have been 38s. to 40s. premium.
India Bonds are 20s. premium. Bank Stock is 191
to 192.

In Foreign Bonds there is no activity. Mexican are
16i to and Grenada 12i. Spanish Three per Cents. are
224 to i; and Portuguese Four per Cents. 16 to 17.
Brazil Stock is 66 to 69.

Railway Shares are again flatter, the North Western
suffering most. There are various reports to account
for this. Some say the dividends will be bad, others
that more money is wanted, and others again that Mr.
Creed has resigned. We vouch, however, for none of
these statements.
