THE HAGUE, AUG. 28.-1 n consequence of the
breaking out of the cholera at several places an order
bas been issued at Stockholm, under date sth August,
declaring the harbours of London, Himburgh,
Altona, Lubeck, and Travemunde, as infected. Al!
vessels coming from thence are to be subject to a
quarantine of ten days, reckoning from the day of
their leaving shore. The harbours of Cuxhaven,
Hanover, the Elbe, Holstein, and Mecklenburgh, are
declared suspected, and all vessels coming from thecae
are subject to a quarantine of seven days, including
the day of their leaving the shore. The direct steam
navigation between Stockholm and 'Travemunde is
consequently suspended.—Staats Courant, Aug. 28.

310NEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 500 Ameri.
can were taken for export, and SOO on speculation. The
market closed without any material alteration in prices.
—ln Railway Shares a fair badness was done at rather
higher quotations.
The grain crop accounts are of much the same tenor
as for some days past. The weather is favourable, but
dill the yield per acre is complaint(' of.
Au extensive business has been done this week in the
Produce markets, taking the whole range of the dif-
ferent articles. Sugar has been very firm, and Coffee
has advanced. Rice also has been at enhanced quota-
tions. Tea continues steAdy. In Tallow and Cotton no
activity has prevailed. Wool goes off at very full
prices, and for superior samples there has even been a
slight advance obtained in some instances, sheep's, in
good condition, has reached Is. 9d. per lb. The auctions
again today are very numerous.
The accounts of the 18th July, received this morning
from Rio de Janeiro, have excited considerable ii.terest,
and among commercial men no small regret. It must
not be supposed, however, that, taking the facts as re-
presentini, there is any censure pa,sed upon the officer
in command of her Majesty's vessel. It is
felt

_
that the outrage committed is as of
a very flagrant character, and justificatory
of prompt satisfaction according to the usual laws of
war. What our merchants have to regret is any inter-
ruption of the good feeling that hes so long uxisted be-
tween England and the Brazds. Further and more de-
d advises will naturally be looked for with solicitude,
and in the interim the trade between the two countries
will be placed in an uncertain position. A temporary
suspension of exports hence would, eevrrtneless, be a
pi sitive advantage, such is the glut of manufactures at
Rto and Bahia. The rate of exchange on London was
36id.
There are one or two ship arrivals from distant ports,
but they du not bring later news,
A new vessel, the President Traylor, had left Boston
with a cargo which will afford some proof of her great
cap:city, and of the enterpr►se of Brother Jonathan.
She is a three•decker, and can carry 17,000 barrels.
When she lefs she had on board 15,651 packages of
goods, among which are 3,200 cases of snot, and bouts,
valued at 40 dollars a case (a low estimate), which
123,000 dollars ; also 2,700 cases and bales dorcest'sa
prints, ahirtings, and sheeting,, at 60 dollars per package,
is 162,000 dollars; the remaining 9,751 packages, con-
sist:ug of groceries, hardware, crockery, &c.
may safely be put down at 100,0000 dollars—
making the entire cargo worth 390,000 dollars,
which goes consigned to 332 mercantile firms at New
Orleans. A considerable pars of the cargo is destined
for St. Louis and places un the Mississippi River, and
is en evidenco of the great increase of trade between
Boston and tho southern and western states.

The English Funds have been (Inner, though again
extremely quiet. The abundance. of money does not
yet act in inducteg purchases fur investments,
though it developes itself in other directiins,
and must are long be felt.- in Consols, ,pu-
liiical and agricultural affairs remaining as at
present—that tolerably favourable. The railway
meetings are going off with comparative harmony, and
what may be wanting in dividend parties are making
up in expectation, far more assured than they were
some time back, that hon,,st accounts are being presented,
and that if they get very Tittle, that little may at least
be considered to have been fairly earned, and that
there is some prospect' of better things for the future.
While upon this .p- int, we cannot but express gratiti3A-
t ion at the explanations given at the meeting of the East
India Railway proprietors, dinipating, as they do, the
f!ars that had arisen as to the st;fu application of capital
to the developmea. of the resources of our Easturn pos-
sessions. It is, almost impossible to over-estimate the
importarce'of thigi.consideting the large amount of sur-
plus capitiil air iil.ble in this country. Consuls h.,ve been
