MON:EY and COMMERCIAL NEWS I
(Ft sn The San of Last Night )
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
about 9,000 bales, half of which were for export, and on
speculation. Former rates were supported.
Accounts have been received from Launceston
and Hobart Town to the 30th November. The
colony was slowly recovering from its mone-
tary difficulties, and it is 'even said that the
capitalists of New South Wales were already
looking out for employment of the surplus funds at their
disposal. There had been some diminution of the rob-
beries and assaults so long committed in various parts of
Van I)ieman's Land, and this is partly accounted for by
the fact ct many "probation" men having been for-
warded to Sydney, where their services were wanted.
In one or two instances, however, these were already
sent back as criminals to Hobart Town, ,or fresh crimes
committed in their new lceelitivs. _ _

The Hibernia steamer, from Halifax, was hourly ex-
pect, d la-t evening at Liverpool.
With the payment of the dividends, the partial re-
covery from the panic occasioned by the tumble in
shares, and the return of deposit-moneys, matters in the
City begin now to wear a more favourable
app,arance, and it is pr, sumed that ere long
past losses will have been fully ascei tained,
quietly booked, and although not forgotten, no limper
uselessly rep ni d over, for they may act as a salutary
warning in future.
The English Stocks have been rather more buoyant to-
days and the settlement of the Consol Account is going off
favourably. The continuation is about 4 per cent. to
May 28, the next settling day,for which bsrgains have been
made at 96k to it. Money operations have been effected
at 96* to K. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been
245. Bank Sto,k has realised 236 to 204, and India
Stock 259 to 261. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents have been 96i to 97.
the,.Foreign Investments there is still very little
inquiry. The break up of the Narvaez Ministry, much
as it is liked, had the effect of depressing prices,
because of the uncertainty as to whether his successor
can carry on the Government. The Five per Cent.
Spanish Bends have been 241 and the Three per
Cents.. 36* to 1. Portuguese Three per Cents. have
realised 584. Grenada are 22k. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. are 59i I.
Railway Shares are generally firm, though quiet.
