THE assurance given to the country by Lord
PANMURE, in the House of Lords, on Thursday,
with respect to the troops and ammunition which
have been sent to Canada, will scarcely be thought
sufficient to remove the public's doubts as to the
policy of the PALMERSTON Cabinet towards the
United States. The articles which have recently
appeared in the London Times have shown us
that there is an American war party in England,
or rather in London, who are quite ready to change
the scenes of blood we have witnessed within the
last two years, from the Crimea to the Western
Continent. Aristocratic Europe would like to fall
upon democratic America on first principles.
They would attack her because she is rich, and
subjugate her because she is free. They would
punish her because she is a political recusant, and
overthrow her for daring to- be a rival in power
and commercial activity. These, however, are
the aspirations of heads without brains
and a body without a soul. Aristo-
cracies do not rule the Old World, except
in very popular causes, and as a war with the
States will never be popular, except in some extreme
case of international outrage on their part, with the
people of any civilised country, we have little to
fear, beyond an attempt to rouse the hostility of a
nation whose friendship we have more reason to
preserve than that of all the rest of the world.
Those who entertain these feelings towards the
United States, and who really foresee the lament-
able consequences which would follow the
slightest rupture between ourselves and the
Americans, will not fail to exercise the utmost
vigilance over the movements of the Cabinet and
their supporters of the Press, whom nothing
short of an open expression of public
execration could restrain from fanning the
embers of diplomatic haggling into the
Lord PANMURE states that
an impression which had gone abroad, that a
" large military force was about to be embarked for
" the British possessions in North America, was

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.

The Liverpool Cotton Market continues very
firm, and a large business has been done to-day at
full prices, the total sales reaching 15,000 bales, of
which 5,000 have been taken for speculation and
export. The total sales of the week foot up
126,170 bales, 81,230 of which have been taken by
the trade, 5,010 for export, and 39,930 for specula-
tion. Our quotations show an advance upon
those of Friday last of 3-16(1 to id per lb. in all
the current qualities of American, that is Cotton
ranging between 51d and 61d per lb, and -4 d in the
lower and better classes. Brazil must be
considered id dearer, but Egyptian and Surat,
though commanding full rates, are nominally
without change. The Committee's quotations to-
day for fair Cotton are as follows, viz—Bowed, Gad.
Mobile, 60, and Orleans, Id per lb.

The Liverpool Corn Market has been rather
more firm to-day, and a fair amount of business
was done at about Tuesday's prices.
Mr. F. J. Eaton's circular, issued to-day, gives
the following report of the Tallow Market :
A fair amount of business has again been concluded in
P.Y.C. at 50s to 50s 6d per cwt, 200 hhds N. Ameri can sold
at 49s 6d to 50s, and several parcels of South American at 48s
to 49s 6d per cwt as in quality. The London Market, not-
withstanding the steadily increasing deliveries, has declined Gd
to 9d per cwt on the spot, and 2s per cwt for last three months,
the closing prices yesterday were 47s 6d for present, and 478
per cwt Oct. Dec. The delivery for the four days of this week
is 2,153 casks, against 1,537 casks for same time last year, and
the stock on the 14th was 23,231 casks, against 33,241 iu
1855. _

The Prussian Moniteur, of the 15th inst., contains
a circular from the Minister of Commerce,
addressed to the provincial administrations, rela-
tive to the prohibition of foreign paper money.
It will be remembered that some months ago the
Prussian government interdicted the circulation of
all foreign notes payable to bearer below the value
of 10 thalers. This the minister states is not
high enough to check the dangers intended to
be prevented by the measure, in consequence of
the recent establishment of so many new credit
banks throughout Germany, and consequently,
the operation of the interdict is to be extended
to notes issued by foreign banks from 10 to
50 thalers, as well as those for sums below the
first amount.

A rumour was current on the Berlin Bourse
during the week that the Russian government had
intimated their intention of contracting a new
loan shortly. This, however, has been officially
contradicted in the columns of the Gazette, at the
same time mentioning that the rumour was got up
by certain speculators at Berlin and Amsterdam
for interested motives.
It is rumoured in the City that the Bank of
France are about to increase their paper circula-
tion by 200 million francs. The effect of this
measure would be to relieve the French Money
Market, which again would have a beneficial
influence on that of England. No official an-
nouncement of the same, however, has up to this

•
time transpired.
A meeing of the Spanish Certificate holders has
been convened by Sir John Fitzgerald, M.P., who
proposes forming an energetic committee for the
purpose of taking measures to obtain consideration
at the hands of the Government of Madrid. The
improving financial condition of Spain, and the
example set by her neighbour Portugal, have,
indeed, a more confident feeling among the holders
of the coupons. _ . . _ .
