MONEY and UOIVIMEKCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
There was no Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday,
and the trade are now looking with interest to the annual
statistics.

There has been a very limited attendance of mer-
chants and others in the City to-day,
There have been moderate sales of produce this week,
and the markets are now closed until the 6th of January
for the Christmas holidays. The Fruit Trude is, at pre-
sent, the most brisk.

The mail with the West India advices has arrived.
The cholera still lingered at Trelawney, and the small-
pox was raging in the Duncan's and Ulster-spring dis-
tricts of the same place.
The following petition was presented to the Honour-
able House of Assembly in Jamaica, from certain mer-
chants, planters, and other inhabitants of the island, and
ordered to lie on the table:—

" That your memorialists would submit that they are
deeply interested in the future well-being and prosperity
of the island.

" That your memorialists would further submit that
the present heavy charges on shipping tend greatly to
injure and depress the best interests of Jamaica.
" That your memorialists also submit that the said
charges are composed of twelve direct items, some of
which are in no ways connected with shipping; whilst
the revenue derived from others is not half appro-
priated to the object for which the same is raised.
" That your memorialists crave leave to submit to
your Honourable House that the imposts on shipping
fall unreasonably on freights, and not on the ship-
owners; that it fetters commerce, and prevents vessels
calling at the ports in Jamaica for a market or a
charter.

"Your memorialists further submit that this system
may close the door to our participation in that extensive
trade which is now arising in the Pacific ; and that any
delay in a consideration of this question may lead to an
irreparable injury.
"That this island presents the nearest, safest, and
most eligible port for the establishment of an entrepot on
this side of the Isthmus ; that a cursory glance over the
map will show how admirably Nature has placed us for
commanding that belt of land which, whilst it encircles
Jamaica on the one side, affords the only expeditious
outlet to the Pacific on the other.

" Your memorialists, therefore, for all these reasons,
and more, which would appear evident on inquiry,
most respectfully and most urgently pray the considera-
tion of your Honourable House to this vitally important
question, affecting as it does the general interest and
welfare of this island."

The shareholders in the South Australian Company
have just held a meeting to receive a statement of their
affairs, and from this it appears that the total annual
rental has been 20,0001. This was not a dividend meet-
ing, but merely for the purpose of presenting the state-
ment alluded to. The gold discoveries are said not to
have attracted much labour from Adelaide.

The English Funds have been very steady, but, as
usual, immediately after Christmas-day, there is very
little doing. Consols have been 96i to 97k, and are now
97 to 4. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 984 to Bank Stock is supported at 2154.

In Foreign Securities very little has been done,

40i to 41, and the New Deferred Stock is 16. Dutch
Four per Cents. bring 89i to 90. Peruvian are about 90.
Railway Shares have been better, and there have
been moderate transactions, though nothing like the
activity of ordinary business periods.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to
this day, are in round figures as under:—
