MONEY aid COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed with
an upward tendeney as compared with Friday's rates.
Prices of American were *d. to Id. per lb. dearer; ord.
and mid Surat and all other kinds, *d. per lb. The sales
were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 500 Surat were
taken for export, and 1,000 American on speculation,
and consist of about 6,500 American, with 600 Pernarn
and Maranham, at sd. to 61d.; 200 Bahia, at sid.; 300
Egyptian, at Sid. to 7id ; an 1,500 Surat, at 3d. to 4d.
—Railway Shares were in good demand, at higher prices
for most of the leading stocks.
There has been a moderate quantity of produce on
offer, and Sugar has been rather lower again. Coffee,
on the other hand, has risen; and Rice is held for fuller
prices. Tallow has been in more request, and prices are
steady. Rum dull, and Cotton more freely taken.
Java Coffee has, it is said by the Milton (North Caro-

lina) Chronicle, been successfully grown in a piece of
ground about a mile from that town. It was produced
by a shrub only two years old, which sprouted from a
grain of coffee planted on the north side of a house, and
the fruit is described as looking in all respects like the
imported article.
During the present year there has been packed at Chi-
cago, Illinois, 59,600 barrels of beef. The number of
cattle slaughtered is 30,800; the number of barrels of
tallow produced is estimated at 7,342; the number of
tons of salt consumed, 2,023; the hides will weigh 1,232
tons, and are valued at about 111,000 dollars.
Notwithstanding the lugubrious accounts transmitted
by each mail from the West Indies, proof is afforded that
some estates can, under proper management, be made to
pay, and what a resident proprietory would accomplish,
we can readily imagine. The annual report of the
Jamaica Land Company shows the result of the society's
operations on Retreat and Cornwall estates in the parish
of Westmoreland, during the year 1850. It appears

that Retreat produced 113 hogsheads and one tierce of
Sugar, and 83 puncheons Rum, which netted 3,3621.
His. 3d., and that the expenditure amounted to 2,8791.
19s. 3d., thus leaving a net profit of 4821. 16s.
I Id. With regard to Cornwall, the net proceeds of 198
hogsheads sugar, and 121 puncheons of rum, are set
down at 5,1531. 95. 5d., and the expenses at 3,810/. 19s.
10d., showing a clear gain of 1,342/. 9s. 7d. The total
sum realised is somewhat more than seven per cent. on
the entire paid-up capital of the company;' and it is
confidently stated that the crop of 1851 will yield a fair
profit. The directors have declared a dividend of 5 per
cent. on the capital for the past year. The report con-
cludes by saying, that' the further diminution by pesti-
lence of the previous insufficient supply of labour, and
its injurious effects upon the proper cultivation of West
India property, as well as in causing exorbitant demand
for wages, have led all those who are interested in the
prosperity of Jamaica, and the results of free labour, to
look with much anxiety for steps on the part of Govern-
ment, to secure as large and early a supply of fresh la-
bourers as may be practicable.' "
The Belgian papers give in detail the treaty of navi-
gation concluded with England on the 27th ult.
The bullion in the Bank of England will, it, is under-
stood, show a good increase again this evening.
The Funds are not more buoyant than they were yes-
terday. Consols have been 96i but are now 961
for Transfer, and 96i for Account. The New Three-
and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 98i to 99, and the
Three per Cents. 97i to Bank Stock is well sup-
ported at 215 k. Exchequer-bills are worth 545. to

In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds are looking
np a trifle. The Fives are 20i to 21; and the Threes
39} to 40. Mexican Bonds keep at about 231 to 24k.
Equador Stock is at 3i. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 59i t, being rather better. Sardinian Scrip
is 831 to 84i.
Railway Shares continue very buoyant, but not at the

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—The customary return re-
lative to railway accidents has been published. It extends
over the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1851. During
this period the number of persons killed on all railways open
for public traffic in Great Britain and Ireland has been 105,
and the number of those injured 173; the total number of
passengers conveyed being 37,881,703. The causes of acci-
dent are divided into such as were beyond the control of the
sufferers, and such as arose from their misconduct or want
of caution. Under the former head are 11 passengers and
24 servants of companies killed ; 142 passengers and 21 ser-
vants of companies injured. Under the latter, 8 passengers
and 21 companies' servants killed; 6 passengers and 10 com-
panies' servants injured. In addition to these, 26 cases of
fatal accident and 5 of injury are enumerated as having oc-
curred to trespassers crossing or walking on the railway,
and 3 are attributed to suicide. The length of railway open
on the 31st of December, the same document informs us, was
6,621 miles, and on the 30th of June, 1851, it was 6,698
miles, being an increase of 77 miles in tke half-year.
DINNER TO SIR JOHN Ross AT STRANRAER.—^
This demonstration in honour of the gallant veteran, who, in
his old age, undertook an enterprise unparalleled for its har-
dihood, humanity, and generosity, in search of his long. mis-
sing friend, Sir John Franklin, came off at Stranraer, in the
Academy, on Wednesday last, when forty of the must re-
spectable gentlemen of the town and district sat down to
dinner. Alexander M'Neel-Caird, Esq., occupied the chair,
and Nathaniel Taylor, Esq., of Belmont, and David M'Cul-
loch, Esq., Auchness, acted as croupiers. In the course of
his speech, in reply to his health, Sir John remarked that it
was his ship the Felix that discovered the graadvewsiwntheircehda
es-
tablishedt the fact that the missing ships had
Beechy Island; it was the Felix that first discoveerr, theaneddr
land at the bottom of Wellington Channel ; it was the Felix
that obtained such information as may lead to ihoh
hope a more successful search; and it was the Felix, directed
by your townsman, that first carried a British Admiral's lag
into the frozen regions.—Scotsman.
KOSSUTH CONCERT AT MANCHESTER..--A concert
for the benefit of the unemployed refugees residing in Man-
chester, who were companions of Louis Kossuth in Hungary,
came off on Tuesday evening in the e
_theatre of the Mecha-
nics' Institution. The services of the whole of these per-
formers were given gratuitously, and the proceeds of the
evening will exceed 251., a sum which will be very useful to
the unfortunate refugees, to whose service it is intended to
be applied.—Manchester Examiner.
THE KOSSUTH FUND.—A ball on an extensive
scale is getting up at Southampton, under the patronage of
the Mayor, in aid of the Kossuth fund.
The lust papers from the Sandwich Islands contain
the following announcement regarding the new treaty with
Great Britain :—" We are authorised to state that her Bri-
tannic Majesty's Consul-General, as Plenipotentiary for Great
Britain, and the Minister of Foreign Relations, as Plenipo-
tentiary for this kingdom, concluded and signed on the 10th
of July a new treaty of friendship, commerce, and naviga-
tion upon principles of the fullest reciprocity and respect to
the King's sovereign rights, which has been accepted by his
Majesty, and whereof the ratifications are to be exchanged
in Honolulu in ten months from that date."

THE CEYLON BANK.---A special meeting of the
proprietors of this bank was held yesterday, Mr. H. Gordon
in the chair; at which it was resolved—" That the resolu-
tion passed at the general meeting of shareholders of the
bank, held on Thursday, the 6th of November, directing that
the affairs of the bank be forthwith wound up, and that there-
fore the cumpany be dissolved, and that the cuurt of direct ors
do take the necessary measures for that purpose, be, and the
ewe le hereby fully confirmed."
