MONEY and Ct_PIVIIIIEIteIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, all to the trade, and comprised
5,000 American, 400 Pernarn and Maranhe,m, at Bth to
tqd.; 500 Bahia, at Bii. to 8.1 d.; 500 Egyptian, at 74d.
to 9d.; and 400 Surat, at sd. to SV. per lb. The mar-
ket closed firm.—Railway Shares were buoyant, ut ra-
ther higher rates.
The advices by the Cambria are satisfactory as to
trade. From Now York it is stated, however, that in the
opinion of experienced financiers money within the past
week is considered to ho rather dearer, and the supply
not so much in excess of the demand as it has been. The
continued arrivals of gold dust from California have
not sensibly increased the volume of the currency, and
there appears to be a disposition on the part of out-
siders, generally, to close their accounts for the season.
The tone of the Stock Market, which, a couple of weeks
since was buoyant and elastic, has become heavy and
feeble.
The following very characteristic article is from the
Kingston British IVhiy, which is as true as a baro-
meter, in indicating the commercial and political condi-
tion of Canada. If the times are dull, the is
grumbling, and sees nothing but ruin; if the contrary,
all is joy and gladness with him:—" Party politics
are at a complete stand still in Canada. Even Mr.
Malcolm Cameron, the only malcontent, has given the
matter up as a bad job; and, not content with thus
disowning his late party, has resigned his seat in the
House. Ministers have now an easy time of it—a flourish-
ing exchequer, a bountiful harvest, a contented population,
and general prosperity. What more can they want ?
And to do them bare justice, they want no more. The
plain truth of the matter is, in spite of all evil prognos-
tications, in spite even of the efforts of a large portion
of its own people, the province of Canada has once again
become commercially prosperous and politically happy.
That this great change is owing entirely to the efforts
of the Reform Ministry, would be saying too much. To
a much higher power is due our thanks for the late re-
splendent harvest. But the change has taken place
during the administration of the present rulers, and it
would be injustice to deny them full mead of praise."
The Halifax Sun states—" At least one hundred ves-
sels, chiefly schooners, entered this port during the past
three days, laden, for the most part with fish, oil, grain,
coal, ukd lumber. The value of property afloat yester-
day by these arrivals bas been roughly estimated at
200,0001."
Accounts of the Bth November, vii America, from
Jamaica, state—
"l regret to report that our island, especially our city,
has been, and still is, suffering from the cholera. We
have had over 1,000 deaths from 10,h October to 7th
inst., within the city alone, and other parts of the island,
say about 600. Business is quite suspended, and all
parties at work in relieving the wants of the poor and
sick.

" The Kingston Colonial Standard, of the 4th inst.,
say 5S= .

" We regret to announce that the cholera, so far from
abating in Kingston, is decidedly and painfully on the
increase. Indeed, nothing can equal the distress which
exists on every side, or the anxiety visible on every
countenance, Business is all but suspended. The
deathe, within the last twenty-four hours, cannot be
short of one hundred; and a medical gentleman has as-
sured us, that he has just left thirteen dead and dying in
one house.
"In St. Catherine the scourge has also proved most
destructive. Spanish Town is suffering severely, al-
though we have no means of arriving at anything
like a correct estimate of mortality. The greatest
difficulty is there found to bury the dead, the people,
to their shame, refusing to dig the graves, or assist in
the remotest degree in performing the last offices for the
dead. At the Farm Pen the deaths have amounted al-
ready to between fifty and sixty; and we were sorry to
learn on Saturday, that the disease had made its appear-
ance in a very malignant :form at the Ferry, Crawls.,
and Caymetas estates, on all of which the fatal cases had
been numerous.
" Prom St. Andrew we learn that the malady had
made its appearance in Gordon Town, at the Botanic
Gardens, and that ten deaths had resulted. It has also
appeared in a fatal form at Papine.
" The reports from the country are yet very favour-
able. We do not learn of its spreading in St. Mary,
although it is said that four or five cases have occurred
at Port Maria, and had been successfully treated by
Dr. Cooke; and there is no confirmation whatever of
the report that it had appeared at Bonus, in Man-
chester."
The Californian news is again very encouraging.
This is " pay-day," in the English stock Market, and
we regret to slate, that Mr. Peter Anderson, a highly
respectable member of the " house," has been declared
unable to meet his engagements. The quotations have
been extremely buoyent, and there has been some
excitement, as money purchases of stock have been made.
Consols have realised 98i for Transfer, and 98i j for
Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been quoted 99i I. At present Consols are quoted
98i for Money, and 981 for January. Exchequer-
bills have been 643. to 675., and India Bonds 82s. to 85s.
premium. Bank Stock is steady at 213 i to 214.
In the Foreign Market there has been considerable
excitement, the intelligence from Mexico as to a
settlement of the debt, the Bill having passed
the Senate according to the terms agreed
upon in the Chamber of Deputies, having
led to a rise of about two per cent., viz., to 34i and 35k.
The foreign debt is settled by giving the creditors (they
being willing) an order for 2,500,000 dolls, of the Ame-
rican indemnity, and reducing the interest to three per
cent. on the capital of something over ten millions; to
pay this three per cent. twenty-five per cent, on the
duties at the frontier custom. house, sixty-five per cent.
on the duties on exports from the Pacific, and five per.
cent. on those from th• Gulf ports, are mortgaged, be,
sides the other national revenues when these do me
suffice.

This appropriation is considered sufficiently ample to
meet the future payments regularly, and the sum in the
Bank of England, with the indemnity money, will pay
a handsome dividend to begin with. Peruvian Bonds
have fluctuated from 80 to 83i. Spanish Five per
Cents. ate steady at 14. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. hove ken 51 to f. Russian Five per Cents. are
steady, at 109.

Railway Shares are still rising in numerous instances,
Midland, North- Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
Great Northern, Great Western, Aberdeen and South-
Eastern, all participating.

ROYAL MAlLlNE9.—LieUtellant George Sedden
Dunbar, third son of Sir James Dunbar, Bart., RN., of
Boath, Nairnshire, died at Woolwich, on Friday last, and his
remains will be interred this day with military honours. The
late gal:ant officer had only just returned to head-quarters
from Port Essington, with a detachment of Royal Marines
who had been stationed there.

SPEAKING LIKENESS.—We have seen so many
speaking likenesses that were so little like the ugly objects
they were supposed to represent, that we really believe if
these " speaking" likenesses had
tile power of speaking, they
would experience a very great difficulty in telling the names
of the persons they resembled.—Punch.

THE WALLASEY POWDER, MAGAZINES...—. The
Mayor of Liverpool has received a communication from Sir
George Grey, Secretary of State, directing the immediate
removal of the gunpowder magazines at Wallasey. This
intelligence will be bailed with satisfaction by all classes,
but more especially by the inhabitants on the Cheshire
shore who reside in the immediate vicinity of this dangerous
depot.
