MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 6,000
bales, including 2,000 on speculation, with a stezdy market.
Shares were very active, and a large business was done.

The Pacific Steam Navigation Company has just concluded
a contract with the British Government for the conveyance
of the mails on the west coast between Valparaiso and
Panama. From the latter place they will cross the Isthmus
to Chagres, and thence be brought to this country by the
West India Royal Mail Company. Great advantages will re-
sult to the mercantile public by the accelerated transmission
of correspondence hetween the west coast and this country,
and the time that will be saved in the remittance of trea-
sure which has hitherto come by the circuitous route
to Cape Horn.' 'We congratulate the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company on the advantages which they will reap
in the shape of a large increase of revenue. This, added to
the important exclusive privileges conceded to the company
by the South American Government, should make this one
of the must flourishing concerns connected with steam navi-
gation ; and to the praise of the Liverpool people be it said,
they have stood by the concern in the days of mismanage-
ment, when anything but a satisfactory result was probable.
We shall expect sous to hear of a communication by this
route to our Australian and New Zealand colonies—a most
important consideration.
There are some late accounts from Buenos Ayres this
morning. There appears to have been a alight difference
between the British commander on the station and the
authorities, but not much was thought of it. There is not
any commercial news of importance in the letters that have
come to hand by the present opportunity.
The only quotations of Consols for Money to-day have
been 98% %, and 983 q for the Account. The premium
on Exchequer-bills is steady, and indeed rather firm, at 465.
to 48s. Bank Stock, which is at 2131, for the Account, has
been sold at 21314.
In the Foreign Market the value of Brazilian Bonds is up
to 90. Mexicans are a shade in advance, at 33 for Money.'
The Spanish Three per Cents. have been done at 3818, and
the Belgian Four per Cents. at % per cent. above par.
The Great Western Railway Shares have been subjected
to many variations to-day. They opened at 162, fell to
155, and have rallied to 160. The Half and the Fifth Shares
are but a trifle lower than yesterday. An advance has been
submitted to in the Birmingham and Gloucester, in the Bos-
ton, Stamford, and Birmingham, in the Grand Union, in the
Leicester and Bedford, and in the Londonderry and Cole-
raine. The Midlands commenced at 166%, they are now
169; and the York and North Midlands are a shade better.
The French Lines are scarcely so firm as yesterday. Busi-
ness on the whole in Shares is rather animated. British
Iron Scrip (101. paid) has been sold at 144 10s. per share.
The corrected prices for the day of all other shares are an-
nexed.

STATE OF TRADE,--The demand still continues
fair and steady. Wools remain firm. Lamb's wool yarns have again
advanced Id. per lb., and are still scarce. There is a greatly
diminished supply of wrought country hose, arising from the circum-
stance of most of the hands being employed in the harvest. The
present demand may be fairly expected to continue for two or three
monts at least.—Leicestershire Mercury.
CAUTION TO PRINTERS.—We advise printers to be
on their guard against a tramp named Al'Donald, an Irishman, who
last week had a few days' work at our office. He had been kindly
treated by the men, although without a card ; notwithstanding
which, the fellow decamped with a couple of composing-sticks from
the office (one marked "W. T. G., Swansea)." He offered the sticks
for sale to some of the printers in the town, at the same time present-
ing a plausibly-written begging-letter, to which he had affixed 3lr. D. Rees's name as a contributor for 4s. 6d. He effected his retreat
before the loss of the sticks was discovered, otherwise he would, ere
tills, have taken up his quarters in the House of Correction. He is
a seedy-looking fellow, about sft. 3in. high, and wears a broad-
brimmed hat.— Canamian.

LORD PANMURE.—We regret to learn that this
patriotic Nobleman was seized with serious indisposition last week,
while at his shooting quarters, Minden, nigh the Grampians. Dr.
Guthrie, of Brechin, the most eminent medical man in the district,
has since been in daily attendance on his Lordship, who, it is to be
earnestly hoped, will be enabled to rally from this attack.—Caledo-
nian Mercury. _

REBECCA AGAIN.—In carrying out the provisions
of the late Act of Parliament relating to the Turnpike Trusts in
South Wales some of the gates in the neighbourhood of Brecon have
already been removed, the tolls reduced, and the distances between
other gates are about being equalised. Among the latter the turn-
pike-gate near the ninth mile-stone on the Merthyr road, is to be re-
moved and a new toll-house erected this side of the Story's Arms.
This building was last week in course of erection, and in a few days
expected to be finished ; but lo ! on Monday morning last, upon the
workmen going to their work, the new toll-house had disappeared,
and the men were struck with astonishment at the industry displayed
by the panics who had in so short a period levelled their work.—
Hereford Journal.
METROPOLITAN FAIRS.—The fairs lately held and
are now holding in various suburban districts of the metropolis, in
the place of those held by ancient usage, which were suppressed a
few years since by magisterial influence, are the speculation of a
single individual, long cormected with the show trade, who rents the
land, and then sub-lets it. In Several instances this has proved a
Profitable speculation.
