MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Mauritius Papers, to the 25th June, still dwell
upon the all-absorbing question of immigration, and
state that the Government had a very large surplus
revenue at its disposal, which it was bound to appro-
priate to the benefit of the colonists rather than keep-
ing it locked up. The duties on spirits had yielded a
large sum, and it was calculated that 50,000 labourers
might be introduced into the island in the space of
five years, for an expenditure of 1,500,000 dollars.
In reference to the unfortunate destruction of the
caisson, which had been so successfully placed upon
the Goodwin Sands, we have much pleasure in stating
that accounts received in town this morning announce
the saving of the crew belonging to the vessel which
struck upon the iron foundation of Mr. Bush's caisson,
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday there
was again a more cheerful appearance, and the sales
were 4,000 bales at firmer. prices.
There was also rather a better inquiry for Railway
Shares, and except the Eastern Counties, prices were
generally well maintained. This line was at 91.
Edinburgh and Glasgow New were 4g ; Great
Western New, 60i ; Brighton, 36i ; and South-
Eastern, 22k.
The exposure of the frauds at the meeting of the
coffee trade yesterday has excited much attention in
the City, and the pilfering carried on some-
how or other is considered to demand an
early remedy. It must not, how ever, for a
moment be supposed that the deficiency in weight
after leaving the Dock warehouses •is confined to the
article of coffee, since we have it from the best au-1
thority that goods of various descriptions shipped to
the Continent or received here, are constantly arriving
short of the quantity specified in the invoices. In the
simple article of silk handkerchiefs a party assures us,
that although every possible precaution is taken by
marking the weight, &c., losses have constantly
occurred, onecasehaving arrived at Hamburgh recently
short of seven pieces. It is to be remarked, too,
that such losses have frequently occurred where the
goods never went into the dock warehouses at all,
and that although repeated search has been made
throughout the vessels, no ;due has yet been been ob-
tained to the discovery of the mode in which they
were abstracted.
At Harnburgh discoveries have been made, how-
ever, of regular depots for stolen colonial produce,
and it is, perhaps, not going too far to assert, that
something of the kind exists here also. One
merchant in the fur trade recently found a
bale short of its proper contents, though stowed away
in his own warehouse, and the deficiency must there-
fore have arisen, one would imagine, by some collu-
sion with the revenue officers. There is a strong
feeling upon the subject, and it is hoped
that the Augean stable of corruption will be
cleansed, and that some influential parties will be-
stir themselves, for the purpose of convening a gene-
ral meeting, to take similar, steps to those adopted by
the coffee trade.
The exchange comes over steady from Ham-
burgh at 13 Bf, and the price of gold at 434. In
addition to the failures at Marseilles, we are advised
of tw o small ones, not in the Corn trade, we believe,
at Altona ; but we only refer to these to show that
the smaller and steadier dealers of the Continent, like
those in England, are affected by the pressure of the
times.

Business in the Stock Markets has been rather
brisk to-day, and prices have fully recovered the par-
tial depression of Saturday, owing in part, no doubt,
to the purchases said to be on account of the Savings'
banks, but still more to the superabundance of
unemployed capital in the general discount market,
and which to-day, commands only 2 per cent. By
ad w
an error yesterdays Consols were made to bear the
quotations which should have stood opposite the
Reduced Three per Cents. To-day the Consols

count, 931 to 93 j. ; Exchequer Bills are firm at 56S

PO LICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Two little boys, apparently under 10 years of age,
were charged mith picking pockets this morning upon
- Ludgate-hill.
The constable who had them in custody stated that
he saw Brown, the elder of them, follow a gentleman
into the yard of. the Belle Sauvage Inn, and on his re-
turn, while m arly opposite Runm dell and Bridges',
take a pocket hmdkerchief and a small card case from
his hinder pocizets. The individual robbed having
got possession of the property taken from him, refused
to appear to prosecute, as he alleged his time was too
precious, and sLs the law was administered now he
might - lose tb ree or four days at the 01(1 Bailey.
The prisoner Brown had been several times before
mlyieted. sum manly, but the other was unknown at
Compter.
The person robbed not appearing, the prisoners were
ordered to be imprisoned for two months, with hard
labour.
