AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Accnunts from Liverpool state that tht cotton
market yest-rday closed with an active appearance,
and prices of all de-criptionss were fully id. per lb.
dear •r. The sales we. e estiniat d at 20,000 l'ales,
1,000 of which were taken by the speculators. The
Railway Share Mark t closed quietly, bat qtr ta-
lions sli4htly improv: d.
The supplement l sales of low wools, chiefly con-
sisting of Indian, Ch;nese, South Am rican, and
German dasc.iptionq, terminated yest-relay after-
noon, and high rat s, being fully id. per lb.
above th se realised in Livef pool, were current
throughout. _ _

There has not been much animation in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets this week,
but most articles have realis d stea ly quota'ions.
Sugar has been in good request, and, owing to
au active demand from the miners and grocers,
an advance of 6:1. per cent., which has been since
maintained, was established in the week. Of West
India descriptions the sale, have beau extensive.
Oa the 22d inst. the stock of British pia,nt4tion, and
foreign sugar in London was 62,018 against
63,720 tons at the corresponding period last year.
The imports from January Ist to August 22d were
as tdlows, viz. :-1857, 152,962 tons ; 1856,
167,683 tons; the decre Ise this year being
14,72 L tons. Coffee has advanced in price,
ammo qualities of plantation being 2s. per
cwt, dearer than last week, and the inquiry
has increased. The stock on the 22d inst.
Was 144,818 against 201,667 cwt. lal year, while
the imports to that period were 23,497 cwt. in 1857
against 313,572 cwt. in 1856. Rice has continues
dull and the late decline has not been re-
covered. This stock of this article is about
45,00 G tons against 45,909 tons, at the same date
last year. Tea is rather firmer, and common Con-
gou is worth 14id. per lb. for the better kinds.
Rum has been dull, at about previous values, and
prices have brought full rates; but business has br en
dull. Saltpetre, owing to the news from India, has
advanced, and there is a good demand. The stock on
the 22d was es folio ws : 1857, 4,377 tons nitrate ro-
tass, and 904 tons nitrate soda again-t 4,877 toes, and
2,036 tons respectively in 1856. C ,chine dl is at
full rates, and indigo has further improved 3d. to
6d. pr cwt. The foll )wing tilde shows the deli-

The Bank authorities made a further purchase
Yesterday of about 37,0001. Aus,raliau gold. At
present the sum brought by the Indomitable is un-
appropriated, but as the bullion dealers are po.t

The Australian mails are still irregular, owing to the
colonial agent continuing to despatch them otv, of their
appointed time, instead of allowing a clear month to pass
t t make up for the break originally caused by the loss of
tie Oneida. The European, announced yesterday as
having left on the 20th of June, should have been de-
tained till the 11th July, and thenceforward the monthly
service might have been performed in due course. In I 40
consequence of instructions which will have re,ched the
.25
agent from London it is now assumed that there will be -1.t.?9,
is departure from the colony in August, that the next 'V
steamer will leave on the 11th of September, and that u"
20
from that time the denartures will be on the 11th of each ix
month, according to the terms of the contract. 100

that " Wse tee', offer tor the establishment of a hue of 20
