MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, ye►terday, were
estimated at 5,000 bales. The market was quiet but
firm.—Railway Shares were firm.
The Colonial Markets re-open to-morrow, after the
holidays, for public sales.

Several ships have arrived from Australia and New
ZAaland. The latest date we have seen from Sydney is
January 7. A large business had been done in
Wool, owing to the intelligence received out
of the favourable issue of the sales held here in
August and September last. Some northern samples sold
as high as Is, 3d. per lb. In Sugar and other similar
imports there had been extensive transactions, owing
to purchases for the interior, and prices had generally
advanced, but they would have been decidedly better
if the merchants had not pressed supplies forward,
although the stocks they held were small. Mr. W. C.
Mais, just arrived out, had been appointed engineer to
the Sydney Railway. Owing to the numerous
murders committed by the blacks in the Wide
Bay and Burnett districts, Government bad sta•
tioned a large police force there for the pro-
tection of the settlers. In four months, according to
one statement, no less than 4,000 sheep had been de-
stroyed, and the supineness of the Government was
much complained of, as depredations and violence have
occurred at intervals for several years.
The New Zealand advices do not appear to be of im-
portance. At Wellington the settlers were going o❑ in
much the same way as previously.
The steamer Canada from the United States is
announced, and her letters are expected in town before
the close of business to•day. At present we can merely
observe that the telegraphic outline is looked upon as
very satisfactory in regard to money matters.

The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 19th inst. was
quiet, both for Dutch and Foreign Bonds, but Portuguese
were in some request.

The English Stock Market is exceedingly dull, and
the holidays have an influence. There is an im-
Pressiou that as money continues to leave this country
for India, a good deal having been sent to Southampton,
and thence by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamer within the last week, although this does not
appear in the official returns, that tho Bank of
England may yet find it necessary to enhance its terms
of discount. This suggests caution and causes indeci-
sion; but the principal reason why we think the Bank
may safely postpone fur another fortnight any restrictive
action, is the extreme probability of large amounts
of bullion being brought here by the visitors to
the Exhibition. Consols have realized 97i g for

there is a fair business doing.
