MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6 000 bales, of which 500 American were taken
on speculation. The market was steady. The sales
comprised übout 4,500 American, 300 Perham and Ma-
ranham at 54d. to 6fd , 30 Bahia at 6d., 500 Egyptian
at sid. to Bd., 1,000 Surat at 2id. to 3*d., and 40 Sea
Island at Is. lid. to Is. eid. per lb.—The Share Market
firm, with a good demand for Midland and North-
Western.
The Colonial Markets have been inactive this week,
and there has been a decline in some descriptions of
Sugar. Coffee is dull, but Cotton, and Rum have
been firm. Tea and Tallow sell in small parcels.
The Brazilian Mail has arrived, and brings news of
the 18th of August from Sydney, confirming the accounts
about the yield of gold. Our direct advices this morning
from Port Philip are to June 6th only, but they supply
intermediate accounts of interest. From Melbourne it is
stated—
" The drought has now fairly broken up, and we
have been visited with mild and copious rains during
the last few days. We hear that it penetrated nearly
over the whole of the interior, having been experienced
in the Geelong, Kilmore, and Mount Macedon districts.
The grass is now coming forward, the only danger to
stock being from the too soft feed."
The latest Geelong advices refer to a silver mine being

discovered, and state—
" A vessel has been advertised here for the land of
gold, with great inducements held out to parties to pro-
ceed by her, in the shape of cheap passages, liberal al-
lowance of grog, and freight allowed each passenger to
the amount of one-fourth of a ton. One would almost
think from this that the owners expected a difficulty in
procuring passengers for her.
" I have also heard it said that a party here is pre-
paring an enormous covered dray, to be drawn by
bullocks, for an overland trip to Bathurst. The dray is
intended to carry the bedding, rations, &c., of sixteen
men, who are to pay 101. per head for the trip.
" The whirlpool of excitement, in which we have been
plunged lately by the gold discovery took a slight re-
verse turn yesterday, owing to the reported discovery of
a silver mine by the M. M. Herald in our own colony;
and many people gravely ask, what is the use of our
leaving a country rich in other resources besides mine-
rals, to speculate in the gold fields of Ophir. With gold
at the Plenty, Mount Macedon, Mount M'lvor, the
Pyrenees, and the Youw Yangs, with lead and copper in
the neighbourhood of the Pivot,' and coal at Loutit
Bay, we ought to be satisfied that we have our own
share of mineral wealth ; and although these are only
reports nut yet sufficiently authenticated, there is no
knowing how soon any or all of them may be. If a sur-
vey of the most likely mineral localities were undertaken
by a competent person, there can be no doubt that there
would be little inducement offered us to go to Bathurst,
and numbers who have sacrificed snug little properties,
or thrown up respectable situations, will once again wish
themselves back in Victoria. In the meantime, let our
farmers keep their ploughs going, there will soon be a
great demand for food, as there now is for gold.
" The weather yesterday and to-day has been very fa-
vourable for the grass—calm with slight showers, and
occasional glimpses of sunshine." •
The fact that the Bathurst gold " diggings" were
yielding largely up to the month of August must be
deemed highly important, and the influence which we
may expect to see exercised upon the futureof Australia,
should the discoveries maintain their character, it is
almost impossible to over-estimate.
The Brazilian advises are to the 15th ult. They con-
firm the previous information as to the critical position
of Oribe, and the triumph of the Monte Videans is con-
sidered a certainty. Until this affair is settled trade
will be unfavourably affected both at liio and Buenos
Ayres.
The Funds are very quiet, and not looking quite so
firm as yesterday. This may be the result of a little
disappointment that the Bank of England did not yes-
terday reduce its terms of discount. Consols have
been done for a moment at 981 for Transfer, but are now
again 98,3,- The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been quoted 9Si to 1-, and the Three per Cents.
Exchequer-bills are flatter, being 51s. to 545.
premium, after having been 525. to 555.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have made an
arrangement with the Sub-Marine Telegraphic Com-
pany for several dispatches from Paris during the day.
The expense is said to be great, and as business com-
mences late in the day at the Paris Bourse, the benefit
will not be very material, unless the hours are changed

there.
The Foreign Securities have been neglected, and the
settlement has caused very little alteration. Spanish
Bonds are higher, the Five per Cents. being 201 4, and
the Three per Cents. 39 to 11. Mexican Bonds are 24i
to 1. Dutch Four per Cents. are 90i.
Railway Shares have been buoyant, but the transac-
tions are not extensive.
Gold Mine Shares are quoted 11 to 1} for Aguas
Fries, i to f,- for West Mariposas, i to i , tor Ave Ma-
ries, and i to 1 for Nouveau Monde.
