MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American and
500 Surat were taken for export, and 500 American on
speculation. The sales comprised about 6,000 American,
1,000 Surat, at 2id. to 34d, and 60 Sea Island, at ls. sd.
to ls. Bd. per lb. The market closed firmly. and prices
of American were a shade higher.—The Share Market
was quiet but steady.
In answer to an application from a shareholder, the
registrar of the Great Northern Railway Company
stated that, in the event of calls upon the New (re-
deemable) Scrip being paid after the due dates, there
would be a failure of the 5 percent. dividend during the
period of arrears. Such statement being deemed unsatis-
factory, and, probably, incorrect, the following official
correspondence has taken place:—
" 1. Letter from Mr. Slaughter, dated 3d instant, to Mr.
Mowatt, the Secretary of the Company. •
" A further difficulty has arisen in connexion with
your company's redeemable Scrip, and which I am re-
quested to bring under your notice with the least pos-
sible delay. The whole matter resolves itself into the fol-
lowing inquiry:--Supposing a call on the Scrip to remain
in arrear some given time, say twenty days from the due
date, but to be then paid to your bankers, with 5 per
cent. interest, would the computation of 5 per cent, in
the dividend warrant run from the original due date of
the call, or from the actual date of payment? In other
words, is it intended that there shall be a failure of di-
vidend during the period of arrear; and, if so, will such
loss be upon the amount already paid up, or merely
upon the particular call in default ?"
" All dealings in the Scrip will be so materially af-
fected by your decision on the point suggested, that I
shall feel much obliged by a reply to the inquiry at your
earliest convenience."
"2. Mr. Mowatt's Reply, dated sth instant.

" In reply to the inquiry Made by your note of the
3d, received yesterday, I beg leave to refer you to the
Company's Clauses Act, 8 Vict., cap. 16, sect. 123,
v.h:ch provides that payment of dividends shall be with-
held so long as calls due are in arrear, but that Act is
silent as to the forfeiture of dividend, and I am not
aware of any other authorising forfeiture of dividend
under any circumstances; and I am, therefore, of opi-
nion that dividends will become due on this Company's
Five per Cent. Redeemable Preference Shares of the
26th Atigust, 1851, from the dates respectively ap-
pointed for the payment of the several calls; viz., the
24th September and 24th December, 1851, and the 24th
March and 25th June, 1852."
Two meetings of the shareholders in Cameron's Coal-
brook Steam Coal Company have been held during the
past week. At the meeting on Monday, with reference
to the petition before the Master for winding up, a reso-
lution was adopted that, in consequence of negotiations
wits creditors and others, it was inexpedient to wind up
or dissolve the company. On Friday the committee suc-
ceeded in what before they had never been able to ob-
tain—an interview with a deputation of the dissentient
shareholders, and the meeting stands adjourned until
Monday, the 17th inst., during which period there are
hopes that an amicable understanding will be come to,
and arrangements made for saving the property, and for
the benefit of all parties concerned.
A meeting of creditors and debenture-holders of the
Company of Copper Miners in England was held, on
Friday, at the London Tavern, when the report and sug-
gestions of the joint committee were read and approved
of. A meeting of stock and scripholders was subsequently
held at the same place (Mr. Joseph Henry Goodhart in
the chair), when the same report was read to them,
which was unanimously adopted ; and little doubt now
remains but that a satisfactory solution of affairs will be
arrived at.

The steamer America has arrived at the outport; but
her letters are not yet in town. She brings 150,000
dolls, in specie, and the exchange on London continued
firm at 110 to /. A good business was doing in cotton.
Breadstuffs were dull, and business prospects generally
had itaproved, money being easier.
The state of affairs in Mexico appears to be alarming,
and the impoverished condition of the Treasury is against
a speedy pacification of the northern provinces.
From Central America we are advised that a post has
been established between Isabel and I3elize, in commu-
nication with St. Thomas's.
Accounts from Belgium state that the congratulations.
of the King in his speech upon the opening of the Le-
gislature are entirely unwarranted, as the commercial
prosperity of the country is far from satisfactory. Thu
merchants, it is affirmed, have every reason to be dissa-
tisfied, and the tonnage inwards and outwards shows a
great falling off. The year 1851,•in fact, is said to have
been the worst since 1848. A good deal of party feeling
is mixed up with these newspaper comments, but the
statistics, wo presume, are correct.
The Funds at Amsterdam were firmer at the close of
last week; both home and foreign discounts were 2, and
loans 24 per cent.
Tho English Stock Market has been buoyant again,
but the transactions hare not been numerous; speculation
running just now more upon Mines, and Consols having
advanced 'to a point that momentarily checks the
Bulls. The quotations have been 98 to 98+ for
Transfer, and are now 98+ sellers. For December
11, the current values are 98+. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been marked 98+ to 94, and
tile Three per Cents. 97+ to +. Bank Stock has been
nominally 214. Exchequer-bills are 525. to 545. pre-
mium, being firm, and India Bonds are 60e. premium.
Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish
Five per Cents. 20 to /, and the Threes nominally 38+
to 39+. Mexican Bonds are still 25 to I. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been 33i. Russian Five per
Cents, have been quoted 111; Belgian Four-and-s-Half
per Cents. 89 to 89+; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. 583. Venezuela Three-and-a- Quarter per Cent.
Stock is at 354 to 36.
Railway Shares are improving. Great Western are
up +- to 1; Lancashire and Yorkshire I to -1; North-
Western It to 1; and the others in proportion.
Agna Fria Gold Mine shares are 2i to +, and West
Mariposa + to 1 premium.
