MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 American and
500 Surat were taken for export, and 1,000 American on
speculation. The market closed quiet but firm.—Railway
Shares were dull.

The letters received from the textile manufacturing
districts are satisfactory as respects the business of the
past week, but it appears that the woollen trade was duller,
the natural reaction after such decided previous activity.
The orders in hand being sufficient to employ the manu-
facturers for some weeks, business may be deemed in a
very sound condition. Whether the improvement in the
value of the raw staple, cotton, will act prejudically is
not certain, but if it restricts excessive or speculative
shipments of goods, it will have done no present harm.
in reference to the payment of the five per cent. di-
vidend, the following communication, dated lOch instant,
has been received from the secretary of the Great
Northern Railway:—
" Sir,—Referring to mine of the sth, acknowledging
the receipt of your letter of the 4th instant, I am in-
structed to inform you that the redeemable five per cent.
preference shares, of 121. 10s. each, about to be allotted
under the authority of the half-yearly ordinary general
meeting of the company of the 26th August, 1851, will
be, as a matter of course, entitled to receive dividend
(next after,the dividend payable on the previous five per
cent. perpetual preference shares); and to have such
dividend paid rateably, in respect of the calls that shall
have bee❑ paid up to the date to which the half-yearly
dividend shall be declared," &c.
The following note has been received from the secre-
tary of the Midland:—

a In reference to the 504 shares, they will be divided
as soon as the call of 31. 6s. 8(1. is paid; 331. 6s. Bd. per
shore will then be consolidated, and can be trans-
ferr,cl as stock. We shall be prepared to issue coupons
at once, in exchange for the old certificates; but the
certificates of the 161. 13s. 4d. shares will not be ready
at present. The call letters will be out in about a week;
but they can be had now for shares thatare under trans-
fer. No interest will be allowed for pre•payment of the
call. No transfer of 501. shares received after the 19th
ult., the day on which the call was made, can be re-
gistered until the call is paid.
" N.B.—lt is understood that upon pre-payment of the
114 13s. 4d. remaining uncalled on the 4} per cent. pre-
ference shares, the company will allow four per cent. per
annum."

Wheat is down is. per quarter, compared with this
day week.
The American accounts to the 3d inst. from New
York notice an easier money market. Tho rare of
exchange on London was 1101 to Cotton
was firm, and Flour rather dull. The Cuba
news as to Lopez's success would be calcu-
lated to excite uneasiness, but that the great
precautions taking by the United States Government to
prevent reinforcements, renders the destruction of the
expedition only a question of time. The loan for the
Erie Canal has been taken at a slight premium. There
was a million of dollars taken at 87i cents premium on
every 100 dollars.
Preparations were making in Canada for removing
the departments from Toronto to Quebec. The increased
tonnage arrived at the latter port was 34,534 tons.
The Stock markets abroad were quiet at the latest
date. At Amsterdam, Spanish Bonds were lower.
The failure of Messrs. Spencer, Ashlin, and Co.,
cornfoctors, has been announced, but it is in no way
connected with the firm of John Ashlin and Sons. The
liabilities are stated to be about 50,0001., of which 20,0001.
are upon acceptances.
The Funds are very quiet, and have declined
again. There is nothing apn'eira in
from abroad to occasion this fall, but the failure in
Mark-lane is made a handle of. Consols are
961 to for Transfer, and 954 to for Account. Ex•
chequer-bills have been Is. lower, viz., 44e. to 475. pre-
mium. India Stock has been at 48s, to 525. premium.
Foreign Securities have beon all flatter. The great
expense to which the Cuban invasion must put the
Spanish Government is against its stock. The Five p,-r
Cents. have been 20 to and the Three per Cents. 36i.
Mexican Bonds have been quoted 26i to a decline of
1, Peruvian Old Bonds have been at 90, and Brazilian
New 89. Sardinian Scrip has sunk to 3 discount. Danish
Bonds are 101/ ex. dividend.

Shares generally are rather worse. This is the settling
day, and there is consequently a good deal of fluctua-
tion, part being the result of special dealing; the different
shares have not moved in one direction.
