Rio de Janeiro advicea, by ship direct, are to the 2d
November. The rate of exchange was 29k. At Per-
nambuco sugar was arriving freely from the interior.
Freights were 525. 6d. to 555.

In the Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 20th Decem-
ber, Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents. were rather in
favour at 57. Portuguese and Spanish Bonds were
without variation. Mexican were more offered. At
Frankfort, on the 20th instant, Austrian Meta Hies were
rather lower, being 721 to 73. Spanish Three per Cents.
were 33 7-16 to 11.16.

There has been a passive market again for Public Se-
curities, and the quotations have been very steady. The
politioal news from Abroad continues satisfactory, and there
is otherwise very little to excite speculation, the attend-
ance of the dealers being usually limited about Christmas
time. Consols have been quoted 961 to 97 fur Account.
The New Three-and-a Quarter pey Cents. are 94 to
99k ; and the Three per Cent. Reduced, 97i to Bank
Stock is quiet at 213. Exchequer-bills have realised
645. to 67.. premium.

The meeting of Mexican Bondholders which is now
in progress attracts the attention of many of the specu-
lators, and there is some fluctuation in prices in conse-
quence of the uncertainty. The quotations have been
354 to for the Four•and.a-Half per Cents , and 35i to
for the Deferred. Equaclor Stock is at 3i, and Chilian
Throe per Cents. are 63. Buenos Ayres Bonds have
been 514 to 52, and Brazilian 87} to 88. Spanish Five
per Cents. realise 171 to 18, and Portuguese Four per
Cents. 115 f. Dutch Four per Cents. aro 90 to 4.
The Market for Railway Shares is buoyant again, and
with a fair business.

MONEY and COMMERC IA L NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 500 Egyptian were
taken on speculation, and comprised about 5,000 Ame-
rican; 800 Pernam and Maranham, at Bd. to 8t1.; 300
Bahia, at 81d. ; 1,000 Egyptian, at 781. to 9d. ; and
1,000 Surat, at 511. to 6d. per lb. The market closed
firm.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done, at
ratber better priees.
The advices from the United States are to the 11th
instant, and in resp►ct to mercantile matters read well,
except that the home manufacturers are quite unable to
compete with England. Taking the year ending June
30, the exports of manufactures were as follows:

1,911,320 6,645,744
All other manufectured articles ... 8,498,641
The Californian intelligence is still the most inte-
resting in the catalogue of American news. From
Nov. 12, 1849, to Sept. 30, 1850, the exports, from St.
Francisco, passed through the Custom House, were
20,280,000 dollars. These shipments were made in
less than twelve months. This includes only the exports
through the Custom House. A very large amount has
left in the trunks of passengers, and it would not,
be far out of the way to e.timate the exportation of gold
dust and bullion from San Francisco, for the above-
named period at thirty millions of dollars. This is
independent of what has been taken out of the country
by other routes and in the baggage of individuals.
The amount of California gold received at the Phila-
delphia Mint has averaged, for the last eleven months,
two and a half millions of dollars per month, as will be
seen by the following statement from the Treasurer :
Gold dust &posited in November
Coinage during the same period 4,104,000
Aggregate receipts of California g,,ld dust
from January Ist to November 30th, in-
clusive
••••
From other sources

27,350,000
1,200,000

Total receipts—eleven months
This, compared with the statement of shipments from
San Francisco, shows that large amounts of dust have left
that port, and been received at the Philadelphia Mint,
independent of those officially reported. It appears by
the above, that the receipts at the Mint in eleven months
exceed by many millions the exports from San Francisco
in about the same length of time.
The Jamaica news to November 28th via New York,
is very distressing as regards the cholera, which has been
very fatal at Kingston, but is now more severe in other
parts of the island. Kingston is reported to have lest
5,000 by that disease, and a proportionate number at
Port Royal; it had entirely disappeared from the latter
place. The most melancholy accounts are received
from the interior and agricultural districts. The
Journal says that, in the Plantain Garden River
district, one thousand persons have been swept away by
the fell destroyer. It states that—" From St. David's
frightful accounts have been brought to town. Not only
have the great masses of the population between the
Eleven Mile Tavern and Yallah's, and a large number of
the inhabitants in and around Elsington been swept away,
but it is said that the whole police force, sergeants, cor-
porals, and privates, have been immolated."
The Honduras Watchman contains dates from Guate-
mala to the 18th of October. The Gaceta, of that place,
states that, in consequence of the defeat and dispersion
of the revolutionary and turbulent parties on the road to
the city of Palencia by the Government troops, under
the command of the General-in-Chief, they have scat-
tered over different parts of the state. A party of about
forty men entered San Raymundo, under the command
of one of the principal leaders, Geronimo Rosales, where
they remained for about an hour, and committed several
excesses. The roads from Yzabel to Guatemala appear
to be much more secure and safe, as the post arrives to
and from these places with much greater regularity.
The Avon steamer, direct from the West Indies, does
not bring later dates from Jamaica than the 27th ult.,
whereas by way of New York we have to the Ist inst.
The accounts from the other islands are more recent,
and tolerably satisfactory. The steamer has over a mil-
lion of dollars on board, and the silver will be very ac-
ceptable.
