MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
5,000 bales, including 1,000 American for export. The
market was quiet and steady at previous rates.—Railway
shares were quiet.
The steamer with the West India and Mexican mails
has arrived, and the accounts she brings from our colo-
nial possessions are, in respect to the weather, tolerably
satisfactory. The cholera, however, still prevailed in
parts of Jamaica. The wet weather was one cause of
this, since experienced planters had declared that for
many years past the island has not been favoured with
such a favourable season as the last few weeks were the
harbingers of. All united, however, in regretting the
scarcity of labour. The ship Brandon had arrived at
Port Royal with 259 Africans from the deOt at Sierra
Leone, having been captured from a French slaver.
They are described as being young and healthy. More
were expected, and the coluny could readily absorb
twenty thousand such. The term of contract was for
one year only. Many of the Coolies, having served
their five years, were applying for their return passage
to Lelia, and, no doubt, would induce others to MLitt to
the colonies. The Sugar and Rum crops of the present
year have realised in Jamaica the expectations formed
while they were yet on the ground. Shipping to the
m sther country was in great demand, the ♦e.sels in port
being totally inadequate for the produce made. Unless
fresh bottoms arrived, a large proportion of the crop
would inevitably lie over.
The Assembly of Trinidad has passed an ordinance
for encouraging immigration from the United States of
America and the British North American provinces of
labourers of African descent.

The Sugar crop of Barbadoes is estimated at 35,000
hogsheads.
In Demerara the determination of the London direc-
tors of the railway. not to to construct it at present be-
yond the village of Victoria, had caused great dissatis-
faction. The company pie As want of means at present.
The Court of Policy had passed a resolution calling
upon the local board not to abdicate their fuuciione, nor
consent to the appropriation of such part of the loan as
may still remain unexpended to any other object than
that of defraying the cost of construction of the line of
railway between the village of Victoria and the village
of Mahaica. Retrenchment was being perseveringly
earried out in Demerara. The Gazette says, that—
" Although the report (from the Committee of Ways
and Means) has not yet been published, we are enabled
to state that it recommends, in conformity with the
views expressed by his Excellency Governor Barkly
in his speech on the opening of the com-
bined session, extensive reductions in the general
taxation of the colony. The income-tax, never
a very lucrative source of revenue with us, because
evaded by a great number of persons v.-ho ought to have
contributed to it, is to be entirely abolished. A reduc-
tion is also to be effected in the Produce Tax. The
planters are to be exempted from the payment of duty
on all snob portions of their produce as are consumed
within th© colony; and on the remainder, the duty is to
be paid from time to time, in the form of an Export
Tax, according as produce is shipped. A bonus is to
be conferred on the shipping interest by lowering the
Tonnage Duties; and sweeping reductions are to be
effected in the Tariff of Import Duties, especially on
those articles most extensively consumed; as, for in-
stance, flour, rice, candles, soap, beef, pork, fish, and
cattle—of which latter large importations are constantly
taking place from the Oronoque, where cattle may be
raised as cheap as in any part of the world."
The advices from Guatemala appear to be more en-
couraging. Peace with San Salvador and Honduras was
likely to be permanently secured, and public works were
rapidly progressing. Particular attention was paid to
the roads.

The reports from the gold mines of Buenaventura,
about forty miles from Panama, are very encouraging.
About 350 persons were working them, and the average
yield is said to be two to three ounces per diem, but pro-
visions were so enormously high as to outweigh nearly
all the advantages.

The Hamburgh mail brings the rate of exchange on
London rather higher, viz., 13.3.

New Zealand letters of March 15 add nothing import-
ant to our previous intf lligence.

The North American mail has not yet arrived.
The Funds have been rather more active, transfers
having been resumed in Consols at 96i to 97i for
money. Time bargains have ben effectea at the same
rates. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.

Foreign Bonds are heavy generally. The Sardinian

Railway shares are in some icstances better than on

of the Company will be holds n in London on the 15;h in-

THE VACANT ROMAN CATHOLIC SEES IN ENG-
LAND. The Tablet says —" We have heard, on what we
believe to be extremely good authority, though not from an
official source, that his Holiness has filled up the five lately-
erected dioceses as follows: To outhwark, Dr. Grant; to
Plymouth, Dr. Erriogton ; to Clifton, t,r. Burgess; to
Shrewsbury, • ,r. Browne ; to Salford, D. Turner; to Not-
tingham, Dr. Head en, translated from Clifton."
As a farm labourer was gathering sticks a few days
ago, in the field of the Jattle of Novarra, he found a gold
watch and seals under a heap of rubbish. lie conveyed them
at onca to the commander of Novarra, and that fu- ctionary
recognised them as having belonged to General Perron, who
was kale is the battle. They were giyen up to the general's
wife,
