MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade.—Rails ay Shares
were depressed, at lower prices.
The statement made up at the Bank of Ergland for
the week to the sth inst. is highly satisfactory in respect
to the emple3 ment of the assets, a very large iecrease
app,aring in the amount of the seeuriti's upon v.hiet:
loans were made; end as the public deposits were dimi-
nished, the active circulation stands higher and the bul-
lion was drawn upon more largely. The comparison
with the previous week is as follows:

Notes Issued ... 29,831,485
Decrease ... 251,810

There was a slight decline yesterday afternoon in the
quotations for bills of exchange on the principal conti-
nental cities, the terms at which three months' paper
were negotiated being as follows:—Paris, 25 471 to 521,
Antwerp, 25 45 to 50; Amsterdam 12 to 124; Ham-
burgh, 13 8:1 to 91-; Frankfort, 1191 to 120; and Trieste,
12 2to 6. Paris and Trieste were best supported.
The weekly railway traffic returns for all the principal
lines are again very satisfactory, and there is a large in-
crease in the instance of the North-Western and some
others.

Vet)/ interesting particulars of the condition of the
Sandwich Islands and their form of government are
given in advices to hand this week, and it bill be seen
that our energetic countrymen have taken a very pro-
minent and useful part. The account before us, in re-
ferring to the King, states:—
" His Government is carried on almost wholly by
foreigners, all the departments, save one, being filled by
them. Of these probably the mst influential with King
and chiefs is Mr. G. P. Judd. He is a man of good
education, well read, has a sound judgment, and, what
is of more copse quence, has that peculiar cautiousness
so requisite in one occupying the post he does. He is
Minister of Finance, and is probably the fittest man for
that post in the kingdom. Next in impel tanee and in-
fluence is the office of Fcreign Affairs, filled by Mr. R.
C. Whyllie, a Scotchman by birth, who has all the pecu-
liarities of an Ayrshireman. He was formerly a wealthy
merchant, whom a roving inclination induced to leave
England, and, having travelled through many of the
English Colonial settlements, he visited these islands in
1844, in Company with the British Consul-General for
the Pacific. Evincing great interest in the welfare of
the Hawaiian people, he very soon came into favour with
the King and chiefs, and was soon appointed to the post
which he now fills. Mr. Whyllie is a clever, sociable,
gentleman, a little short of fifty, fond of fine horses and
fine dinners. In the post he occupies ho gives satisfac-
tion to al, and seems to labour arduously, yet disinte-
restedly, for, it should be added, to his credit, that he
has served his Government five years, refusing any
compensation for his services. The Minister of the In-
terior is Mr. John Young, a half-breed; his father was
an Englishman, his mother a chieftess, through whom
he inherits his high caste. He is about thirty-five
years 'of age, tall, erect, and has the reputation
of being the handsomest man in the kingdom.
The fourth, and last office, is that of Public
Instruction, filled by the Rev. R. Armstrong, who was
formerly a missionary, hut exchanged the clerical for
the political garb some two years ago. It is said that
there is not a better scholar in the Hawaiian language
than Mr. A.; and most certainly none but a man who
is a lerfect master of the language can well fill the place
he occupies.
" Business now is very brisk in Honolulu, entire car-
goes of lumber are selling very well, brought chiefly
from the British Australian colonies. The impetus
given to every branch of business by the increased com-
merce of this port has never before been known here.
Merchants are reaping fortunes, almost without care,
while tradesmen, farmers, labourers, &c., all come in for
their share. More than 250 houses have been imported
and erected in and near this city, within the past six
months, which fact of itself would show a good deal of
prosperity. I wonder that more of your merchants do
not take advantage of the handsome profits to be ob-
tained byashipments to this quarter."
There are accounts of June 4 from Port Phillip, but
they add nothing important to our previous information.
The reports of the stock markets abroad advise no
' material change.
In the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and
Lancashire business this week has been rather duller.

The exports of the precious metals from London dur-
ing the week to Thursday last mere 5,017 ounces of
gold, and 195,000 ounces of silver. There were also
2,000/. in geld coin sent last week to the Mauritius.
The English Funds have been very buoyant again, and
it now seems as if the account would prove Bearish. The
fact that 861,000/. will bo invested in stock this quarter
by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National

Debt greatly nisists the Buls. Consols opened at 96i
to 97 for Tramfer, and have since been 97* f. For
November they are 97i 2. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 98} to Bank Stuck has
been firm at 210. Exchequer-bills continue at 653. to

Very little is doing in Foreign Securities. Mexican

35k. Danish Fire per Cents. have been at 4 per cent.
above par. Spanish Five per Cents. aro nominally 18f,
to 184. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
quoted 911.
Railway Shares have been again rather heavy, but the
sales are extremely limited.

BLEEDING TO DEATIL—On Monday mai-10r pet,
inquest was held at the Bricklayers' Arms, Wheeler-e,tr,",a•
before F. F. Daily, Esq , coroner, on the body of John
son, aged 70 years, who died on Saturday last, in Mr. 130,-
hop-garden, from the effects of excessive bleeding fr° rto
varicose vein. Mr. Brenchley, surgeon, who was sent r
see deceased, said the haemorrhage could have been °Poo
stopped by the mere pressure of the finger on the veiv'holo
that had medical aid been sooner obtained life might
been saved. Accidents of this kind were of frequent oc-toell
rence, and he thought it could not be too forcibly intrretieg
on the public the great importance of instantly preen 0'
the loss of blood, which might easily be effected in the 11301
ner be had stated. A surgeon ought also to be speedilY °died
for. The jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased
from accidental loss of blood."—Maidstone Journal.
A " Harry" EXPLANATION.—A very large Pito
assembled at dinner one day in a hospitable mansion jociie,
south of Scotland under the genial presidentship of a baeje•
for host. The wine went freely round, and a very long sre
runt was terminated by the party, with one exception,oie
thing from the dining-room to enjoy coffee and cigars. al
exception was an elderly gentleman, renowned for his s",her
qualities, who had been selected to fill the seat at the t'the
end of the table, and who had freely exerted himself 10 att
performance' of his duties. Not relishing the smoking Seep
of the entertainment, he kept his seat for a little jo tier
meditation, and then ringing the bell informed the 01/L1)1110e
of his intention of retiring for the night. Thinking he,,ed
something like a smile on the servant's face, he tub' di
gravely round, saying, " Ay, John, I think I'll go to DO
but I'm no' fou, John, mind that; I'm no' the least fon;
I'm just fatigued wi' drinking."—.Dumfries Courier.
