COMMERCIAL NEWS, MACAO, OCT. 8

The new congous are beginning to arrive, and about half a
dozen chops have been shipped. The prices demanded are
higher than last year—say for fine congou 33 to 35 taels, and
for really curious 36 to 39. No new Nankin silk has come
to market. Some parcels of old are held at 450 dols. to
480 dols. per pl.

The market for best new Bombay cotton opened at 9 I 4 to
8 17, and less for lower qualities ; and for new Tinnivelly at
9 13. Long cloths in no demand at 2 dole. 60 to 2 dols. 90.
Cotton yarn, No. 24 to 40, 30 dols. to 32 dols. per pl. ;
Spanish stripes, SO cents to 1 dol. 10 per yard ; long ells,
7 dols. to 71 ; lead to 6 80 7 dols. ; iron rods 21 dols. per
pl. ; bar 31 dols. per pl._

Freights to England from Hong Kong and Macao are at
£5 10 to £6. From Whampoa there have been no recent
engagements. The rate offered is about £6 to £6los. which
most ships are unwilling to accept, in consequence of those
ready for sea at intervals of a panic about a month ago having
got £8 and £lO per ton. In addition to the ships mentioned
by the last advices as loading, the St. Mungo, Greyhound,
and Saghalien, have sailed with teas for England, and the
Neptune is under despatch.
Bills on England, with approved local endorsements, have.
advanced to 4s. Siel. to 4s. 9d., and it is probable American
credits could not be negociate to any extent under 4s. 10d.
per dollar.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE

WEDNESDAY EVENlNG.—Notwithstanding the approach-
ing payment of dividends, and the abundance of money which
is usually anticipated to follow the payment and partial dis-
persion of several millions among the public, which is usually
an element in the calculations of speculators and capitalists
for a rise in stocks, the home funds have presented but an
unsteady appearance for the last two or three days, to-day
inclusive, and the previous improvement has been followed
by a gradual decline. Consols were again depressed to-day
to 864 sellers for the opening on the 14th instant. Three per
cent. reduced 891 to I. Bank stock 167 to 8. Exchequer
bills also declined from yesterday's advance to 18s. to 20s.
premium. The cause of this depression of prices is variously
accounted for. By some it is attributed to the belief that
various foreign loans are in preparation, the weight of some
of which is likely to fall upon this market. In France, it is
well known that large amounts of money will be wanted, not
only to make good the past, the present, and the prospective
deficiency of revenue as compared with expenditure arising
out of the late warlike preparations, but also for the purpose
of those vast internal improvements, such as the great lines of
railroad, announced to be undertaken on account of the state.
From Austria there are like advices ; there also the government
has formally notified the intention to execute on its own ac-
count all the preliminary and expensive workings of a general
railway system, so far as the great lines, afterwards to be
framed out to public competition so far as the conveyance of
goods and passengers, and the supply of locomotive carriages
and machinery. These enterprises for France and Austria
alone, independent of what may be intended by other sover-
eign powers in Germany and in Prussia, or elsewhere in
Europe, will necessarily require the outlay of many millions
sterling, which can only be raised by way of loans to be con-
tracted, or by more simple and direct process of an emission
and gradual sale of state bonds upon the stock and money
markets here and abroad for the account of the different
states and without the intromission of capitalists and con-
tractors, as upon the old system. It is understood that the
Hebrew party have been the chief operators for the fall.
The last prices of the Foreign Securities chiefly dealt in
were as follow :—Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents 51 to 4 ;
the Five per Cents 100 to I. Belgian 101 to 2. Spanish
Active with the Coupons 254 to 4. Portuguese Five per
Cents 32i. to 3 ; the Three per Cents 194 to Brazilian 63
to 5. Mexican 28i to 94. Colombian 21.4 to 24.
There has been very little alteration to notice in the price
of Tallow during the last month ; the demand has been stea-
dy, and rather larger than in previous years ; the holders
appear willing to supply the consumers, but not to sub-
mit to a reduction in price, or force their goods upon the
market. For delivery, on or before the end of February,
48s. is the price ; for February and March, 48s. 6d. on the
spot, 48s. 6d. cash, 48s. 9d. credit, and for small parcels
for cash. Our stock is larger than last year, but it must not
be forgotten that the outports have taken this year from
St. Petersburgh 12,000 casks less than last year, and 13,000
less than the average of the last three years : so that we may
fairly calculate on a very good demand in the spring. In
the new Y. C., deliverable here in autumn, a few sales have
been made at -19 s. to 495. 6d.; the latter is the present quo-
tation. In St. Petersburg several purchases have been made,
chiefly from speculators, at 133 rs hand-money. The reports
from the interior state that the quantity for this year is likely
to be less than the last.
Tea was firm again to-day.

At public sale, white pepper ranged 3W. to 64d for parcels
in good condition ; black East India brought ss. 8d to 275. Bd.
East India Rice sold at 10s. 6d., Pearl Sago at 15s. to 18s.,
and Cassia Lignea at 725. to 735. 6d. per cwt.

FRENCH LINING.—" Pa," said an interesting little Poly-
glot down in the West, with his French rudiments before him,
why should one egg be sufficient for a dozen men's break.
—" Can't say, child."----" because no cent is as good
as a feast."—" Stop that boy's grub, mother, and save it at
once ; he's too clever to live much longer."—Oxford Herald.
ARRIVAL OF PART OF TAE CANTON RANSOM.—Her
Majesty's ship Conway, Captain Bethune, from China,
arrived at Portsmouth, on Tuesday. She has brought two
million dollars, being part of the Canton ransom.

TRIAL OF THE CASHIERS OF THE CHICHESTER OLD
BANK.—At the Chichester sessions on Monday, William
Styles Goodeve and William Williams, the late cashiers of
the Chichester Old Bank, were tried for an alleged embezzle-
ment of money belonging to that bank. The prisoner
Williams was tried first. The particulars of the case have
been already given. The evidence did not bear out the in-
dictment, and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
