viitiNEY and COMM. RCiAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
titulted at 4 000 bales, comprising 3.500 American,
200 Fermin] and Maranham, at Bd. to 81q., SO Bahia
at 8i 1. to 84d., and 300 Surat at sd. to 6u. per lb. The
market closed steadily at previous rates.—Railway
Shares wore quiet, at rather lower prices.
Upon the condition of the dried fruit trade, Messrs.
Wither by and Hanson report that there have
been large clearances of currants for home use.
The character of the currants hitherto received
has been better than was expected. Prices
are now 6s. to 83. per cwt. higher than in November
180. Oa taking a general view of the fruit trade, it
seems that the capability of consumption this year
equals, if it do riot surpass, that of any previous year,
and a great business is expected to be done between
this and the end of the year, both in London and at
the outports.
Cape of Good Hope papers to Oct. 3 have been re-
ceived. Large public meetings had been held, to ex-
press the feeling of the inhabitants in reference to
a new Constitution and a Parliament ; and the
Commissioners appointed to draw up the draft,
and to regulate the qualifications of members of
the proposed legislature, appear to have accomplished
their task to the satisfaction of their constituents. The
liberality of her Majesty's Government, in permitting
the colonists to express their views as to the form
of constitution that might be considered desirable,
had excited much enthusiasm, and was lauded as an ex-
ample of the truth that there may be as much freedom
under a monarchy as a republic.
The intelligence from Graham's Town to the 25th of
September reports the prevalence of severe drought
throughout British Kaffraria.

From Amsterdam, under date of Sunday, we learn
that there was no animation in the funds. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. were 541. Mexican Stock was
better.

At Frankfort and Paris the funds were lower, owing
to the prevalence of various rumours.
The letters received yesterday from Canada are cf
even a more encouraging tone than theme
recently to hand. Two of the most eminent
houses in Quebec are said to have offered
to take stock to: the amount of nearly 40.0001. in the
projected line of steamers from Liverpool to that city.
The Quebec Gazette, alluding to this matter, re-
marks—" The advantages of such a means of
communication to all connected with the trade
of the St. Lawrence would be very great.
Our geographical position fits us much better to be the
point 1f debarkation of the emigrant from Europe, than
either Boston, Philadelphia, or New York; it is a shorter
voyage, and from our port there is acheaper, safer, and more
comfortable means of conveyance to the far west, than
from the plsces we have roet,tioned. We do not, how-
ever, receive that proportion of the passenger trade to
which these advantages entitle us. It is true
that in proportion to our population as a
province,:we receive our fair share of emigration, as much,
perhaps, as we could profitably absorb. We receive
more, in proportion to our population, than the United
States ; about one-eighth of the number landed on their
tee riteriee reach our shores, while our population is only
one-fifteenth part of that of the Union. With our ad-
vantages for forwarding passengers to the west, to which
the great stream of t migration flows, we ought to re-
ceive more than this. We consider that the line
of steamers, as proposed to be established, carrying
cabin passengers at 101. or 15/. sterling, and in the
steerage at 51. or 6/. would have the effect of attracting
to our waters a very great number of passengers, who
now go by the States. At this economical rate, they
would also be used by our own merchants and
others, and also by many of the Ameri-
cans from the lakes who have occasion to
visit Europe. It is impossible to say how numerous
this class of passengers would be, but the number of
Canadians who leave New York by every Cunard
packet would lead us to believe that it is very large,"
The English Stock Market is very flat, not in conse-
quence of any actual later news, but from the circum-
stance of one or two journals, which have no official in-
formation, constantly endeavouring to foster the
apprehension of a continental war, which
cooler reflecting parties yet hope may be
averted. Consols have realised 961 for Transfer, and
961 for Account. Exchequer-bills have been 645., to
655.; and India Bonds 86s. premium. Bank Stock has
been 2114 to 212. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have realised 974 t.
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have, by the
Canada, received advices from thrir agents in Tampico,
dat d 12th ult., stating that 10,000 dollars would have
been shipped by the Clyde, if she could have waited for
a favourable change in the weather, but that they will
new be sent. by the next packet. 16,394 dollars in duty
bills were still in the hands of the agents, for collection
for account of the bondholders.
The Foreign Market has been very inactive. The
three new projects for an arrangement of the Spanish
Debt, as f awarded to the Committee of Bondholders,
have not excited much interest, and it is felt that
there will yet be great delay ere a settle■.-
ment is come to. The nominal value of the
Five per Cents. is 171 to 18, and of the Three per
Cents. 38 to 39i. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
been done at 33 to 34. Mexican nave declined to 3l 4.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 56k.
Railway Shares are not so good. There is a decline
in Caledonian, ?Aberdeen, North-Western, South-Eas
ern, and most others.
