MONEY and COMMERCIAL. NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were
estimated at 5,000 bales. The market was quiet but
firm.—Railway Shares wore firm.
The Colonial Markets re-open to-morrow, after the
holidays, for public sales.
Several ships have arrived from Australia and New
Zealand. The latest date w© 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 ls. 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 had 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 on 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 today. 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-
pression 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 the 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 for 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 97 for

GENERAL LYING-IN HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday a
quarterly court of the governors of this institution was held
at the Hospital, York-road ; Mr. Cox in the chair. It ap-
peared that during 1850 there had been admitted 48 single
and 201 married patients—besides whom, 455 had been at-
tended ; that during the last five years 3,653 had been re-
lieved ; that there were at present one single and nine mar-
ried women in the hospital ; and that the house expenses for
the year 1850 were 7661. 10s 2d. The committee having
been constituted, and the usual routine business gone through,
the meeting dispersed.

THE TEA TRADE, APRIL 21.—The deliveries of
tea in London last week were 546,8441 b., being about
68,0001 b. less than in the preceding week. The occurrence
of Good Friday will partly account for the falling off.
It is easier to pretend to be what you are not, than
to hide what you really are; but he that can accomplish
both has little to learn in hypocrisy.--Eliza Cook's Journal.
PRESERVED COCKSCOMBS.—A vessel which has
arrived from Dunkirk has brought some packages of preserved
cockscombs as a portion of her cargo. This appears to be
a somewhat singular article of importation from France.
The mate of a vessel named the Amity, of South
Shields, was " tarred and feathered " on Wednesday night,
for having signed articles for lower wages than the *Mount
fixed by the Seamen's Association.
THE SCOTCH BENCH.—We have reason to believe
that, in the event of a vacancy taking place through the
resignation of Lord Mackenzie, Mr. Duncan INPNeiI, the
present Dean of Faculty, will be elevated to the hench.—.

THE YOUNG LADIES' SHORTER CATEcuint.--What

—to play on the pianoforte—to gabble French or German,
and to preside gracefully at the tea-table! What is a man ?
A thing to waltz with—to flirt with—to take one to the

IRON SHIP-BUILDING.—The iron ship-building
trade continues to flourish here. Mr. Thomas Toward, of
St. Peter's, launched a most beautiful iron screw-vessel for
the Sidney trade on Wednesday afternoon. The owner, H.
G. Smith, Esq., was present, with a large party, besides
many hundreds collected to witness the scene. The day
being fine, and many gay flags flying, guns firing, and the
presence of a great number of ladies, rendered the launch
one of the most gay and animated scenes imaginable. The
vessel, which was named the Keera, glided beautifully into
the water amidst the deafening cheers of the assembled
crowd. Messrs. Robert Stephenson and Co., of this town,
supply the engines to her, and altogether there is no doubt
that this vessel will prove that nowhere can better or cheaper

SPORTING NOTES;
No. XXXIX.
ODDS AND ENDS FROM NEWMARKET•

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. ed
Sin,—Yesterclay'a races came off exactly as I expect
they would. The opponents of Bordeaux and Uriel
iu
their matches were glad to got off their bargains by Pal:
inr, half forfeit, without venturing the loss of the wile;
stake. Balsams just contrived to beat the Squaw hYalf
head for the 50 Soya. Stakes; the latter having only
a length the advantage of Christina. Phlegethon, the
Trapper, end Juggernaut were beaten into hysterics.
This, of course, settles what chance Balsam() had in the
Derby spin, and, at the same time, don't proclaim acYd.
thing very favourable of the Squaw's form ris
capabilities. The roaring Coact'la never bad
chance with Barcelona for the 200 Says. Stakes, being
beaten from the start. Cariboo won a 50/. plate cleverly
from Nutcracker, Fire Eater, and Fernhill, at weight
for age, over the lea three mile.; of the Beacon Course!
The betting on the Heath was important in one or tr.,
respects; Balamo's victory gave Teddington a lift !beer
the Derby, and made him as good a favourite as 1h
Prime Minister, both quoted at 13 to 2. The Confessor'
,
too, was put in front for the Guineas, at 5 to 2, and to'
Squire's colt sent to 7 to 2 (very curious this).
For the 50 Sovs. Stakes, 7 Subs., D. M., to-morrow•

forfeit of Convulsion in their 100 soya. match. The fie,'"
for the 1,000 Guineas will probably be composed of WI)
following:—Gay Lass, Iris, Barcelona, Anspach•
dice, Pandora, Phlegm (v.d.), The Squaw (v.d.), Trick'
