MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
seu The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
( 66% tirnated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for exportation. The sales comprised 4,000
American, 300 Banana and Maranham, at 64d. to
200 Egyptian at 7d. to *lid., and 600 Surat at 31d. to
4id. per lb. The market was heavy at previous rates.
X—ln the Railway Share Market there was an alarming
panic, and prices of all the leading stocks fell 4 to S
95S per cent., but improved towards the close at better prices.
1v22% The quantity of home-grown Wheat sold in the
D
English markets last week was 74,271 quarters.
Private advices from Rio Janeiro say —" The Go-
vernment is perilling its very existence in its efforts to
suppress the slave trade. The once notorious slave
steamer the Serpente (now the Golfinho of the Brazilian
navy) has made several captures. Last week she car-
IS ried of 200 newly-imported negroes of Marawbaia.
They are supposed to have belonged to Joaqmin Breves,
the well known and opulent slave-dealer. This man is
; Ifthe owner of ten largo farendas, and the master of some
is% 2,400 slaves. His large possessions give him great po-
litical influence, and the seifure of his slaves shows
plainly the energy and determination of the Govern-
ment."
Accounts from the Sandwich islands state that the
volcano Kilanea, the great crater of Mauna Kea, has
recently had a strong eruption, and is still unusually
active.
The Oregon accounts announce the discovery of a
vein of' coal on the Cowlitz river, eighteen miles from
,x 8% its junction with the Columbia, and about one mile from
the main Cowlitz. The vein is two feet thick and about
half a mile in width, fifteen feet above high water mark.
and about forty feet below the surface of the bluff

pany, at Vancouver, sent a boat and crew to bring a
quantity away, that it may be fairly tested.
dis. Many of the citizens of Oregon had gone to the
dia. Klamath and other mines in that vicinity. We see from
the Oregonian that gold mines have been discovered
north of the Columbia river, near the coast. The editor
had seen a letter from a respectable source, stating that
the Indiana had brought in a considerable quantity of
gold dust, and represented that there was much more
left. But this wants confirmation, as the Oregonians
have discovered gold before in this way. Indian gold
stories are not the most reliable.
The market for Public Securities has been very
%
buoyant, and, contrary to the rumours circulated yester-
day, the Directors of the Bank of England have made no
advance in the rate of discount. Consols have advanced
about per cent., and parties are buying for the divi-
dends payable in July. The quotations for Transfer have
been 974 to 97i, and for Account, 97} to 974. The
news from France is again of rather a satiatactory cha-
racter. Bank Stock has been firm at 210 to 2104. Ex-
chequer-bills have been quoted 41s. to 455.; and India
Bonds 535. premium. Consols now are 974 for Money,
and 97i 4 for Account.
Scarcely any business has been done in Foreign Se-
curities. Peruvian have been heavy, at 804 to 814.
Spanish Five per Cents, are also fiat at 194 to 20, and
the Passive at 54 to 4. Parties are realising profits,

isk%.3 ' Four per Cents. have been marked 891 to 4.
Railway Shares are looking better, but the aggregate
transactions are not large. Lancashire and Yorkshire
- have rallied about 21., Great Western 21. to 21. 10s.,
North-Western 14 to 21., South-Eastern 11. to 1/. 10s.,
and others in proportion. Foreign Shares are com-
paratively quiet. A severe gale was also experienced on
the 26th January on the leeward side of Hawaii.
