MONEY and CuiviivitAttfiAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 4,000 bales, all to the trade. The market
closed firm at previous rates.—Railway Shares were
heavy at lower prices.
The Corn trade in Mark-lane this morning is rather
firmer.

The accounts received by the steamer from New
York to Jan. 8 are again satisfactory upon commercial
subjects. The total imports into that place last year
amounted to 138,334,642 dollars, including 23,000,000
dolls. in specie, being an increase of 40,676,391 dulls.
compared with 1849. Of this amount the increase on
foreign dry goods represents nearly 13,000,000 dolls.
Thera were 12 or 15 packet-ships due at New York from
Europe.
At New Orleans, on the sth inst., the exchange on
London was rather easier, being 108, but brisk at the
decline.

The Californian advices are more satisfactory as to
the public health, and it is palmated that at New York
about 4,000,000 dollars in gold were daily expected,
that amount having already reached Panama. Such an
addition to the largo amounts already received for
several months past shows that the mines are still
largely productive; and the preparations for the winter
operations, as we are instructed by the journals, promise
further large returns in the spring.
Late advices from Central America confirm the report
of a deelara:ion of war between the states of San Sal-
vador and Honduras. Mr. Chatfield says, officially, that
the British Government will interfere.

By way of Panama there are some interesting items
of news from the Pacific. Bolivia was tranquil and busi-
ness active. General Balliaran had been obliged to
leave. The election of a President in Peru was to take
place on the 20th December. An armed band of rob-
bers is stated to be committing serious depredations at
Lima. Chili had been rather disturbed, aad the new
laws of the Government prohibiting the right of re-
union caused much dissatisfaction. The Valparaiso
market up to the 25th November was duller, the dis-
turbances at Accncagna and the declaration of Santiago
in a state of siege fur 70 days having acted upon it. An
improvement was expected. There was a fair supply of
all classes of goods. Freight for ores to Liverpool was
1,3, 3, and 5 per cent. prem. Exchange on London
45 1-3 d. at 60 days.
The accounts received in the United States from Bar-
Woes state that the cholera had not broken out there,
as was reported.
_ _

Great loss had been sustained at Dominica by the
ovei flowing of the river Rosseau,which had been swollen
by some very heavy rains; and the neighbouring sea,
coast, and also many estates in the interior had been
great sufferers from the heavy torrents of rain, and a
vast amount of sugar cane in the plantations and other
property destroyed. Many of the roads were completely
submerged, and persons going to Rosseau had to proceed
by sea.
Accounts of the 7th inst from Hamburgh state that
the rate of exchange on London had been officially
quoted as low as 13.1, but was much better subsequently.
Coffee was cheaper.
A loan of 70,0001. for Demerara, guaranteed by the
Home Government, is announced, to be tendered for
next Thursday. It will of course be promptly taken,
and probably by one firm.
The important news from Paris of the decided ma-
jority against Ministers has not had so much effect either
upon the French or English Funds as might have been
expected, and, probably, because the event was partly
foreseen. Still there is an admitted difficulty in fore-
telling the future, as either the President or the As-
sembly must give way, the former not possessing the
right of dissolution. Consols have been 96 to 96i for
Transfer, and 961 for February. The New 2 hree-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 981 t, and the
Three per Cents. 96i to 97k. Bank Stock has been
firm at 214 to 215. Exchequer-bills are 555. to 585., and
India Bonds 70s. to 735. premium.
Very few transactions have taken place in the Foreign
Market, and the quotations have undergone no material
fluctuation. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 17i 1.
Mexican Bonds have brought 32i 1. A letter dated the
10th ult., from Vera Cruz, has been received this morn-
ing from Messrs. Manning and Markoe, who advise the
committee that 47,000 dollars was the amount which
was ready there for the dividends, but which the steamer
had been unable to call for owing to the stress of weather.
Russian Bonds are 96i and Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. 57i. Equadur Stock has been done at 3i.
It will be remembered that 31. 13., of the Shrewsbury
and Birmingham A share
.represents a geoss klllll of
150,0841., or the company's suoscription to the Birming-
ham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley line, which
sum, under the leasing arrangements with the London
and North-Western, is entitled to a rental equal to two-
thirds of that company's dividend. Clause 31 provides
that 3/. 13s may be deducted from the general A share,
and regarded as a distinct stock, to be called " London
and North-Western Guaranteed Stock," and a question
has arisen whether, under the specific language of clause
32, the preference shares have a claim upon the profits
of the company, subject not merely to the bonded debt,
but to the 3/. 13s. guaranteed stock as well; or
whether their claim should be postponed to
interest on " loans" only; in which latter case, the pre-
ference shares might, in a certain sense, be considered as
having a large proportion of their dividend secured by
the London and North-Western engagement, viz., to
give two-thirds of their own dividend upon 190,087 V.,
equal at, say 5 per cent., to 6,336/. per annum, or rather
more than a moiety of the 8 per cent. on the preference
share capital of 153,000/.
Railway Shares to-day are lower on account of the
reaction in the Funds, and there has been rather a fuller
supply of them.
