Financial and Commercial.

On Friday morning, at the New York Board,
$4,000 Virginia 6's bio, were sold at Sg7s, and
$4,000 do. boo, at S97I. There were no tales Sa-
turday morning.
AT GEORGETOWN, D.. c., Friday, the sale of the
barque William Chase, consisting of 1863 hogsheads
OF Porto Rico sugar, took place. The prices
ranged from So go to 1890 per cwt. These sugars
were considered very fine they were dry and in
good condition. The whole sale amounts to about
half million pounds. SIS
The news from England, SO far as the markets
for domestic produce are concerned, are very IA
vorable Cotton, which at the sailing of the At.
iantic rather dropped had, when the Asia sailed,
fully recovered, and closed firmly. Breadstuffs
are quoted generally higher than by the Atlantic,
and there continues general inclination among
shippers to purchase freely at current prices
Provisions are firm as before
Private letters from London state that Ameri.
can Stocks are unsaleable, and many which were
held as investments are now offered freely at a
large concession below previous quotations. These
letters now state the probability of the return of
Mr.. Dallas. On this subject, however, it is all
conjecture as the British Government itself states
that it has had no official Information from Mr..
Champion of his dismissal, and of course had not
come to any conclusion.
The specie movements are active at present but
with so large an amount to spare the shipments
abroad will not effect the ease of the money mar.
ket twill not be long before the Bank of Eng
land will make another reduction in the rate of
interest," from to per cent. Speculation there
nor here has not been awakened. and affairs tinan.
cially AID commercially, in both countries, are
regarded as in q peculiarly sound condition.
The Illinois, with S2,600,000, arrived at New
York Saturday.
