FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,

TUFSDAY, Feb, 28, 6 p.m

We have no change to report in the money market,
though the supply cf moue/ increases steadily, and we
hear of cccasional trans ictions below the alknowledged.
rates. A sale of first-class four months paper was made
to-day' at six per cent., and lenders fiud it difficult to
place their means on call on security that is satisfactory
at six percent. Still, the reported rates continue, as
before, , six for very short first-class paper, and seven for
the same quality with more time to run. A, heavy failure
is reported at Albany--Itathbone & Co., hardware
dealers. Their liabilities are not known, but are men-
tibned as likely to, amount to hetWeen $30Q,000 and
$lOO,OOO. They were.in the domestic hardware line.
The exchange, market is reported dull. The leading
bankers' are asking 109 for sixty day bills on London,
and,5.15 for bills on Paris, but at theie rates the demand
is limited. There is a good supply of Southern bank
bills, which have been put on the market, vith endorse-
thent, at 1081,- and some excellent niereantile bills at
So long as cotton continues to go forward as it
is doing at present, the supply of exchange will prevent
the baukel s from doing any great business. Francs
were a little firmer this afternoon ; :sales of Southern
bills were made at 5.16 i. It must be borne in mind
that at the current rates of exchange it is not possible
to cover bills with specie wit lout loss. Whatever gold
goes.abroad most therefore be; considered as shipped on
account of bills to be drawn hereafter—after an advance
shall have taken place in ratesi
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 29., 6 p.m.

The money market shows no change. We hear occa:
simian), of some prices- of long paper going below
seven ; and some borrowers say that they are getting
money below, six; but these are exceptional cases. The
rate:for money on call is six ;. pap; r varies from six to
seven, according to date. Fir A-class single varies from
seven to' eight.
As usual on. Wednesday, there is nothing doing in
foreign exchange,- Drawers express disappointment' at
• the dulne,s of the market. Cotton is doing:mole in the
way of paying the country's debts than was..expected.
There .was an active business to; day on the Stock-
Eichange in Pacific Mail stock and in New YOrk
Central, both' of which .were a fraction lower. It is
stated that some of the directors of the former have been
selling out their interest, whether in consequence of the
unfavourable prospects regarding the mail is not known.
The mail money received by the Pacific Mail under. the
old contract with the government amounted to twenty.
per cent. per annum on the capital stock ; it no such
allowance be received hereafter it will make a difference
in the profits of the company.. Commodore Vanderbilt
has fixed the rates of passage from this side at $lOO,
$150,, and. $2OO ; if :the Pacific. Mail Company are
equally moderate in advancing the rates' from San
Franciscp,:the public will not have much around of
complaint. The next 'ship sails *cirri here on tbe sth;
then on the 20th, and then on the 30th of March.,
Central was affected by the afiviCes' Of the 'paSsage of
the Pro Rata, law in the. itemise, and sold. as low as 70,
closing 37L bid. Hudson. River was sold down to 37,,
closing 371 bid. The Western shares were firm. There
is a very geod'demand for Slate ;stocks and good bonds ;
otherwise the amount of business doing is small. In
the afteniobn the 'market wa'fairly 'active, and stocks
closed steady at the following quotation,:—Virginia

Governor Morgan's message of yesterday, stripped of
the verbiage in which the Governor envelopes his
reasoning, is simply as follows :
The canal: tolls, have, fallen' of from $3,703,999 in
1851 to .$1,812,230 in 1859, while the tonnage. of the
Central and Erie railroads has increased from 991:,000
tons' in 1853 to 2,700,000 tons in 1859. ' This must
arise from the, effect of the act 1851, permitting the
roads to carry freight without paying toll. If ence, if
we :repeal that aet,'the canals will again get the busi-
ness and the State revenue will Rao for the ftwen-
ditare.

As between the railways and canals of this State, it
will, of course, make no change, as it is proposed to
raise the canal tolls simultaneously with the tolling of
freight on the roads ; the business of each will'continue
to bear the same relative proportion as noiv. But the
effect w►ll be to " protect" transportation of freight on
the Pennsylvania and Canada canals and railways, and
to drive traffic from ours to theirs.

The exchanges at the. Bank Clearing House this morn-
ing. were $20,269,350.19, and the balances $1.042,138.60.
