MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 5,000 bales, including 3,500 American; 300 Pernatn and
Maranham, at 7:-Yld. to 83,,i d. ; 150 Bahia, at 7:Yid. to 7'i3d. ;
40.0 Egyptian, at Bd. to 9%.1. ; and 400 Surat, at 4Nd. to
6%(1. per lb. The market closed steadily with American %d.
per lb. higher.—ln Railway Shares a fair business WAS done
at lower prices.
The produce markets offer no salient points this week.
Prices have varied but little for the principal staples, and
the purchases have been entirely for consumption, and not
on speculation,
The letters by the Overland Mail read more favourably
than those by the former express.
In the Amsterdam market on the 17th inst. Dutch Stock
was in request, and closed at 57. Spanish Five per Cents.
were in great demand.
The emigration season it in full play. A party writing on
this subject suggests, that there "could either be a free or
an assisted system of emigration. The lat er is that which
we advocate—Government to ovide either half or two-
thirds the amount of passage-money, the emigrants to pro-
cure the rest ; care to be taken that as equal a proportion ( f
the sexes be maintained as possible; single persons to re'
ceive only half assistance, married couples two-thirds. We
would also suggest the foundation of emigration associatious
throughout England, on the mutual benefit system
For instance, one hunthed persons to club toge-
ther, each paying sixpence per week. This at
the end of a year would amount to 1301. If th.
Government pursued the half-credit system, this
enable about thirty persons out of th hundred to
emigrate the first year. Supposing Government advanced
two-thirds, it would enable upwards of forty to emigrate.
The s.:lection of the emigrants might either be rnade by.
lottery, by rotation, or any other plan mutuallly agreetl
would
upon by the members of such associations. The alteration
in the price of land .n Australia would at once attract
i te/.her re
a large number of small capitalists, men having from
1,0001., and who are at a loss to know how to invest their
money to advantage in this land of competition."
In the English Stock Market business has been very dull
again, and price are not quite so firm. The debate again
last night upon the Papal question revives unpleasant feel-
ings with regard to the status of the Ministry, and thei
d
agitation that has been so long kept up proves very

Transfer, and 951/j % for Account. Exchequer-bills

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir J. K. BnucE.)
His lioxoult disposed this morning of a great number ?I'
unopposed petitions, and afterwards proceeded to hear pett•
tiona, none of which, however, were of importance.

HER 111AJLS'I'Y'S THEATRE.
Every thing is prepared for opening the campaign at this
magnificent establishment to-morrow evening. A full dreasBlast
rehearsal of the new ballet L'lle des Amours, took place
evening, and we anticipate for it an immense success. It it
such a ballet as might have been composed for the Court of
Louis XIV., at the time when that Monarch and his courtiers
were wont to figure among the performers; it seems a series
of tableaux vivans for the chefs d'icuvre of Watteau Am3lia
Ferraris has a character in which we opine she will create
perfect furore, not only as a deessc de la danse„but £3 a in°Bt
accomplished pantomimist.
