COMMERCIAL AND MONEY-MARKET REPORT.

THERE is little matter for observation in the present state of the manufacturing and trading interests of the country, as compared with the position they have occupied for some months past. The course of business in the Cotton and Woollen trades has, with some alternations in the demand for the various descriptions of goods, gone on in a steady relation of demand and supply; and in the Silk trade the greatest activity prevails. The iron trade, which has been for years in a state of great depression, has received a powerful impulse from the extraordinarily increased demand for that material, occasioned by the numerous railways actually in progress, and the daily increasing manufacture of machinery, as well for exportation as for home use.

The Colonial Market has evinced some degree of briskness of late, in so far as Sugars are concerned; and in West India Muscovades an advance of 6d. to 1s. per cwt. has occurred within the last week. Jamaica brown, at 59s. ; middling, 60s. to 62s. ; good, 62s. to 64s. ; fine to very fine, 64s. to 65s. 6d. The prices realised a few days for a parcel of St. Lucia were, for dark colour, 58s.; good brown, 59s. to 60s.; low yellow, 61s. to 62s. 6d.

In Mauritius Sugars there have been no extensive transactions; but at public sale recently, 2678 bags brought from 6d. to ls.; and for the lowest qualities, as much as 2s. per cwt. above the prices obtained in the early part of the month. East India Sugars offer no subject for remark; but in Foreign White, there is more disposition to purchase; Bahia, low ordinary white, has brought 32s. 6d.

Within the last day or two there has been a much greater degree of firmness in the Refined Market, the wholesale grocers purchasing more freely for home consumption, and large parcels having been taken for exportation; the general quotation now is 82s. for lumps to pass the standard, and 41s. for fine crushed on board.

The last average price of West India Muscovades gazetted is 14. 16s. 10d. per cwt.

The Market for British Plantation Coffee is inanimate; but for good clear descriptions, the quotations are firmly maintained. These are, for Jamaica, ordinary to good ordinary, 89s. to 98s. ; fine ordinary, 99s. to 105s.; middling, 105s. to 109s.; good, 110s. to 115s.;

fine, 115s. to 122s. In East India and Foreign Coffee, little or nothing doing; a cargo of St. Domingo, afloat, has been sold at 53s. to 53s. 6d., deliverable at Antwerp.

There is a more brisk demand than for some time past for Cocoa; of 251 bags of Grenada, good sound reddish, rather mixed, brought 48s. 6d. to 49s. 6d.; brighter, 50s. to 53s.; very fine superior red, 53s. 6d. to 56s. 6d.

Rums are in very considerable demand, and large sales of Jamaica have been made at 3s. 1d. to 3s. 8d. ; the quotation for Proof Leewards is 2s. 1d., and sales of 10 over have been made at 28. 5d.

The Market for Raw Cotton is suffering under a re-action from the palmy state it occupied a few months ago both here and in Liverpool a great heaviness exists, the spinners and manufacturers showing little disposition to purchase. It is probable, however, that an alteration will before long take place, as it is known that they have no large stocks on hand, and the accounts from the United States speak of a considerable deficiency in this year's crop.

The Indigo sale commenced on the 20th, and was well attended, and the ordinary and consuming qualities have in general fully maintained the prices o the previous sale; good and fine shipping qualities were not quite so firm, and may be noted at last sale's prices to 2d. discount.

The result of the large sales of Teas which have recently terminated has been a depression of from 1d. to 2d. per lb. upon the Boheas and inferior Congous, and an advance of an equal amount in the finer qualities; the demand for Hysons has been limited, but Twankays firmly maintained previous prices. Of 83,500 packages offered for sale, not more than about 37,000 found purchasers, although the common Congous were offered at 1d. per lb. under former rates.

At the Company's sale of Silk, which has just concluded, of 2000 bales of Bengal raw Silk not a single bale was refused, and the sale went off throughout with the greatest animation, the prices realized showing an advance of from 7 to 12 per cent., as compared with those of last sale.

Some considerable inconvenience was felt in the early part of the month from a scarcity of money, in consequence of

so large a portion of the instalmeuts on Omnium having been paid by anticipation, and the comparatively slow rate at which the money so paid in returned to circulation in compensation to the West India slave owners. The advan

tage offered in the rate of discount for prompt payment, and the desire to become possessed of money Stock led to so rapid an accumulation at the Bank, that before the middle of the past month, of the 15,000,000. borrowed, full 10,000,000l. were already paid, while the payment to the claimants and the investments on account of litigated claims scarcely amounted together to 2,000,000. Under these circumstances, the Bank Directors afforded additional facilities for obtaining money, by lending it on the security of stock, and by prolonging the periods at which the loans were payable; and by these means they averted any very serious shock, although the consequences of the dimi nished circulation are still apparent in the heaviness which characterizes the transactions in the Stock Exchange.

The Consol Market has been particularly dull for the last week or ten days, giving way gradually by per cent., until the prices are about per cent. lower than at the commencement of that period.

In the Foreign Market scarcely any attention has lately been given to anything but Spanish securities; and in these, notwithstanding the strenuous and successful efforts of M. Mendizabal to form a union of liberal politicians of all shades of opinion in favour of the Queen's government, the depressing effects above alluded to have been still more observable.

Another circumstance must, however, have contributed to this depreciation, namely, the extraordinary appetite now shown by the public for embarking in rail-road speculations, and the consider. able quantity of capital invested in

these undertakings, or held in reserve by shareholders to meet the calls for future instalments. Scarcely one of these projects, even in its most embryo state, but commands a premium; while in those which have obtained a legislative sanction, and have made some progress in the working, the premiums are startling, as will be seen by the subjoined list, which contains the closing quotations of the 26th:

MONTHLY DIGEST.

GREAT BRITAIN.

From the following tables it will be seen that upon a comparison of the present financial year with the last, there is a deficiency of income to the amount of 1,084,6007. against the former, whilst by collating the two quarters, ending respectivelyt he 10th of October, 1834 and 1835, there will appear an increase of receipt in favour of the latter of 344,2227. The dissimilarity of produce of the two years appears to be occasioned altogether by the

falling off in that of the assessed taxes, under which head alone, from the reductions made and continuing, there is apparent a defalcation of 992,1987. upon the year, and 153,5947. upon the quarter, making together 1,145,7927., which exceeds by a large fraction the deficiencies upon the whole of the present year. In other respects the accounts of the two years and quarters tally pretty nearly. From the circumstance of one large class of duties having been transferred from the Excise to the Customs, and vice versa, there is an apparent disparity; but the productiveness of one nearly makes amends for the deficiencies of the other. Thus, the account of Customs shows an increase upon the year of 2,182,951., and upon the quarter of 403,487., whilst the Excise, on the other hand, presents a decrease upon the year of 2,265,1517., but an increase upon the quarter of 82,5907., which turns the balance in its favour. The revenue arising from stamps has decreased upon the year by 96,660l., but increased upon the quarter to the amount of 12,1967. The Post-office has been steadily more productive upon the year and quarter than on the corresponding periods last year. On the year the increase is 34,000l., on the quarter 6000l. The same may be said of the miscellaneous taxes, which have increased upon the year 31,219%, and on the quarter 14,8017. The returns of imprest moneys and repayment of sums advanced for public works, present no results, for the increase upon the quarter just equals the falling off upon the year. The amount of Exchequer Bills wanted for the service of the quarter is estimated at 4,016,1897.

The Lords of the Treasury having certified to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt that the surplus revenue of the United Kingdom, beyond the actual expenditure thereof, for the year ending July 5, 1835, amounted to the sum of 1,205,4967. 7s. 0d., the Commissioners have given notice that they intend to apply the sum of 301,374l. 1s. 9d. to the purchase of Exchequer Bills, Stock, &c.

THE news from the West Indies, or, at least, from Jamaica, is not favourable. The Noble Governor, the Marquis of Sligo, at the opening of the House of Assembly, recommended strongly the adoption of certain measures relative to the organization of a police force, &c., which the members not only refused to entertain, but rejected in a tone of asperity in their

personal reply to his Lordship, that induced him indignantly to dissolve the Assembly, assuring the members, at the same time, that they would be held responsible to their constituents, for whatever ulterior measures either he or the British Government might deem it prudent, in such an emergency, to adopt.

The following is the speech of his Excellency :

"Gentlemen of the Council,

"Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,

"The address which has this day been presented to me by the House of Assembly being of such a nature as to render it impossible for me to give it any reply, I have considered it necessary to call you together to inform you of the determination at which, in consequence, I have most reluctantly been forced to arrive.

"The very offensive and uncalled-for tone which pervades the whole of the address, one so totally deficient in the respect due to the representative of the Sovereign, renders it imperative on me to withhold all further communication with this Assembly. The positive refusal by the members of this branch of the Legislature to entertain, at this period, measures, for the consideration of which they had been specially summoned, without even having waited to receive the information and documents which I had promised to lay before them, and without which it is impossible that they could arrive at a correct conclusion, compels me to withdraw from them the confidence I otherwise must have felt in their decisions. This hasty rejection, on grounds so insufficient, of measures of such vital importance to the well-being and tranquillity of the island, has compelled me to come to the resolution of sending the members back to their constituents, in order that another body may be selected for carrying on the public business.

"It is my opinion that the interests they were sent to protect would have been best consulted by a calm and anxious deliberation of the measures I proposed to them; and if, after a temperate consideration, it had been found expedient to amend or reject them, such decision would have been entitled to the weight and respect due to a Legislative Body.

"Such a course, however, not having been pursued, it is my duty to let it be clearly understood, that on the House of Assembly rests the whole responsibility of the consequences which may ensue, and that to their conduct must be attributed any resolution which the British Government may be compelled to adopt.

"I do now, in his Majesty's name, dissolve this General Assembly, and it is hereby dissolved accordingly."

This abrupt dissolution of the House of Assembly has, of course, caused a great sensation throughout the island.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Recent accounts from the Cape state, that several Proclamations had been issued by the Governor in reference to the recent war with the Caffres. Creoli, the successor of Hintza, had established himself in his government, and had given the Governor every assurance for the fulfilment of his engagements, and the maintenance of the treaty of peace. The heads of the powerful families of Slambie and Gaika, the former chief of the country between the Keiskamma and the Kei, had placed themselves under the protection of the Colonial Government, and declared themselves British subjects. The Governor had also declared the willingness of the Government to receive under its protection the different tribes who had not joined in the inroads into the colony. The province of Albany was perfectly tranquil, and the farmers are proceeding to their respective homes. In the new province (Adelaide) the hostile Caffres had shown themselves, and several skirmishes had taken place between them and the Fingoes.

By the official report published by the Custom House, for the quarter ending the 5th of April, it appears that the value of colonial produce exported from Table Bay, Simon's Bay, and Port Elizabeth, was 94,000%. The amount of the imports during the same period was 180,6607.
