MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday wore esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. The sales comprised 5,500 Ameri-
can, 200 Perham and Maranham at sad. to 61d, 100
Bahia at SP. to sid., and 800 Surat at 24d. to itid. per
lb. The market was steady.—The Railway Share
Market was firmer.

The following is from the " Circular" of Messrs.
Schrceder and Mummy, dated New Orleans, Oct. 4, and
pnbliahed by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool :
" COTTON.—Since the date of cur last review, Sept.
20th, our market has not presented the same animated
and buoyant appearance; the heavy receipts counter-
acted the effect which the favourable accounts, per
Africa, otherwise, no doubt, would have had, end
during the last week about 16,000 bales changed hands,
at drooping prices ; the week closed with 8k for mid-
dling ; this week prices have still further declined,
under the influence of an extremely stringent exchange
market and advancing freights, and we can give now
the quotations below, as the rates the sales during the
last few days were made at. Sales of the week, 17,600
bales for the North, Great Britain, Havre, with occa-
sional lots for the Continent.

" The demand, however, continues good from the
North, and is likely to remain so for some time to come
yet ; there is also ,more inquiry for Great Britain and
Havre, which, no doubt, would result in larger transac-
tions but for the above-named obstacles. in the mean-
time, as this is the only open Cotton port in the United
States, all other markets being very scantily supplied, so
far orders continue to be directed here, which very
likely will prevent any further considerable decline for
some time to came.

"The Cottons now coming in /maintain their cha-
racter for good staple, ranging from middling to good
middling; of the finer grades the receipts are but very
limited, and such command very high prices. We find
it generally stated, that, on the majority of plantations,
the Cottons produced this year class from one to three
grades below those of last year.
" The advices from the country, with regard to the
crop, continue of the same character as heretofore, good
from the bottom and rich lauds, and rather unfavourable
from the uplands. The weather, however, is all that
can be desired by planters for securing their crops, and
the pickings, from the extraordinary proportion of the
bolls being open, are unusually heavy.
" Ordinary to good ordinary, 61d. to 71d.; middling,
70. to 71d.; good middling, Bd. to Sid.; middling fair,
Bd. to Sid.; fair, 9d."
The following report of the Indigo sales is by
Messrs. H. W. Jewsbury and Co. :—" The sale at the
commencement, contrary to general expectation, went
off much better than was looked for; and prices con-
tinued remarkably even until the tenth day,
when they gave way a little for the better descriptions;
partly in consequence of the arrival of the India Mail
bringing intelligence of a probable increase in the new
crop of from 7,000 to 10,000 maunds, and also to cause
the orders for the Russian market to be completed; this
caused less competition, and prices ruled unevenly, par-
ticularly for parcels which were unsupported, when they
receded from 2d. to 4d. per lb., as compared with those
at the opening of the sale; good Madras has been in
demand at an advance of 3d. to 4d. per lb., and good
and fine Kurpau at 3d. to 4d. higher, both qualities
being scarce; the low ordinary Oudes were not inquired
after, and a reduction of 4d. to 6d. per lb. was sub-
mitted to. The chief amount of purchases are made for
export, the home trade being satisfied to buy only mode-
rately. The very large quantity sold, viz., 10,823
cheats, is far above the average of the previous five
years, which gives for the October sale 7,820 chests.
The result of the sale taken altogether must
be considered satisfactory, both as regards
prices and a large quantity disposed of. Of
the quantity brought forward, it is estimated that 4,257
chests aro bought in, 7,869 withdrawn, 9,263 sold, to
which may be added about 1,560 of the bought in and
withdrawn; making the total quantity sold, say 10,800
chests, of which 8,300 are for export, and 2,500 for home
use and re-sale."

To none more than to City men have the advantages
of the Great Exhibition been perceptible. The extra-
ordinary increase in the number of private and
business friends who have visited England, is
of itself calculated to foster invention, pro-
mote improvements, and extend international trade.
Whatever might have been the misgivings entertained
in the outset, and fully participated in by the Ameri-
cans themselves, it is certain that they are precisely the
persons from whom we have learnt, and to
whom we have taught most. An opportunity,
if any were needed, i. of amply testing
this feeling was afforded apparently by the proceedings
last evening at a farewell entertainment to the Ameri-
can exhibitors, by their estimable, liberal, and wealthy
countryman, Mr. George Peabody. Nor is this
the first occasion embraced by that gentleman
in endeavouring to promote kindly feelings between the
citizens of the great nations on either aide of
the Atlantic. Gratifying it must be, amidst the expres-
sions of dissatisfaction inseparable from the adjudica-
tion of awards, to have heard from the lips of the Acne.
rican Minister on this occasion, that whatever others
might feel, whatever others might state, he, on behalf of
his countrymen, had nothing but gratitude to express, no-
thing but kindness to acknowledge. His Excellency
drew attention to the fact that the American exhibitors
had done everything at their own coat, and that at local
fairs, Baltimore for instance, he had witnessed a dis-
play of produc:a that would more fully have represented
the industry of the United States. Sir Henry Buiwer
seemed to confirm this view, and while giving his
opinion that the subsequent exertions made, and the
success of the grain-cutting machine, the lock-picking,
and the yacht-sailing, left no cause for regret, he de-
clared also of his own knowledge that a vast
number of articles, new to Europe, were not
sent, simply because they were so commonly used in
America as to be considered no novelty. Lord Gran-
ville avowed that the Royal Commissioners owed a debt
of gratitude to the American exhibitors for coming so
far, and the American gentlemen present, as we under-
stand, admitted that their views of the English cha-
racter were greatly and favourably changed by their
visit. It has come to pass now, as Mr. Thompson
Hankey stated, that even the policy and right working
of the Bank of England is an object of great importance
to the merchants of America, and that free trade, a
trade represented by 60 millions sterling annually be-
tween that country and England, is knitting firmer and
firmer their social and political and industrial interests.
There has been a little money stock brought to mar-
ket, and this has caused a alight appearance of heavi-
ness, although in reality there is no great change. The
new French Ministry is looked upon as a mere tempo-
rary expedient. Console bare been 97f to 'and are

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY)
OLD COURT.
__ (Before the RECORDER)

David Cole, 32, labourer, was indicted for stealing
six handkerchiefs, value 11., and other goods, the pro-
perty of James Bormen, his master.
It appeared that the prisoner was in the service
of the prosecutor, and had access to the property
in question. In May last the prosecutor removed
to premises at 127, Leadenhall-street, and he there
deposited a large quantity of handkerchiefs and
other articles in a larga chest which was locked
and corded and placed in the office. On the chest
being opened last August it was found that goods
had been abstracted to the value of about 1501. Suspi-
cion fell upon the prisoner, and on his house being exa-
mined several handkerchiefs and dusters were dis-
covered which corresponded exactly with those which
had been lost. The account given by the prisoner was
that he had purchased them from a man in the street
whom he did not know.
For the defence it was contended that the evidence
was not sufficient to convict tho prisoner.

The RECORDER having summed up,
The jury found a verdict of Guilty, and he was son.
tenced to imprisonment for 12 calendar months.

NEW COURT.
This Court was occupied during the morning in trying
Mint prosecutions, none of which possessed auy feature
of more than ordinary interest.
