MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for ex-
port, and 2,500 on speculation. The market was steady at
full prices. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 200 Per-
nam and Maranham at 6%d. to 7d.,_ 100 Egyptian at 6%d.
to 9d., and 300 Surat at 4d. to 45/ad. per lb.—ln Railway
Shares a fair business was done at rather higher rates.
7he interests of the Venezuela bondholders are not likely
to suffer permanently while they have such an indefatigable
agent at La Guayra as Mr. Lord. That gentleman,in his letter
to the Finance Minister of the Republic protesting against
the delay in making remittances, points out the law bear-
ing on the case, and states
" Art. 188 of the constitution guaranteeing civil liberty,
individual security, property and equality before the law, to
all Venezuelans, does this not equally apply to all foreigners
according to Art. 218 of the same constitution ?
"Art. 211 of that fundamental code, does it not declare
that Venezuela, notwithstanding its political change, under-
goes no alteration in her engagements respecting the public
debt, and that she would arrange the payment thereof by
means of conventions and treaties with the several divisions
which formed the Republic of Colombia? Was it not
in virtue of this article that the agreement of 1840
was concluded, and which is now protected by
that same Article 211 ? All this is so clear that it would
be an insult to the good sense of the Administration if I were
to add any observations of mine. The contrast is so strik-
ing, and the injustice so flagrant, that it must reflect upon
the party who commits it.
" In strict compliance with the foregoing laws, and the
financial year being on the point of terminating, as we are
in its eleventh month, there ought to have been remitted to
London nearly the whole of those 500,000 dollars from the
ways and means, the Extraordinary Contribution having
produced enough for the object to which it was to be applied.
There has, however, only been sent, in August, 1851, 7,0001.;
in February, 1852, 4,7821.; making together 11,7821., or
78,000 dollars, which leaves a balance of 422,000 dollars.

Mid. for the dividend due last April. The rest having to be
applied to the arrears of interest, let the decision of Congress
respecting the agreement of 12th September be whatever it
may. By the unlawful disposal of the funds assigned by the
Venezuelan laws to the payment of the foreign creditors—
funds which were to have
.been their exclusive property—
the Republic has thereby incurred an' dditional obligation
for compensation of Josses to the bondholders. The protest
which I made in their name by my previous letter, and
which, I herewith repeathe, on that account, the more just
and necessary, to secure rights of the British creditors,
whom I represent.
have been informed that your Excellency, being con-
vinced.of the truth of
nexti, did pr,
of the omise to my agent iny our
Packet
capital, that, by the loth of this month,
the whole amount required for. the two dividends due should
be remitted, arid that you would favour me with an official
notice of all the particulars thereof for my own information
and that of the creditors.
I trust your Excellency will not deviate from this re-
solution in honour of Venezuela, and for the sake of justice,
as also for the better observance of the laws, over which
the executive power of the Republic has to watch • and
also that, in due time, you will favour me with an acknow-
led
own gment of this letter, and of the preceding one, for my
guidance."
Perhaps the most consolatory circumstance for the bond-
holders is that the energy of their agent is likely to bear good
fruit, for the Minister in his reply admits the force of what is
stated by Mr. Lord, and promises to use every exertion to
remit steadily by each mail.
The following is from Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's
Circular, dated New Orleans, May 15, and published by Mr.
James Irvine, of Liverpool s—
" Our review of the Ist inst. left the Cotton market very
firm, with an upward tendency of prices. The accounts per
Pacific and Europa, which came to hand during the succeed-
ing week, increased and stimulated the already active de-
mand, and factors were enabled to realise higher rates The
sales of that week amounted 'to 37,750 bales, of which
IG.OOO bales were sold in one day. The heavy business at
the close of last week having reduced the stock for sale, this
week opened more quietly, factors asking, however, very full
rates, and showing much firmness. A material decline in
freights bas caused many buyers to submit to the high pre-
tensions of holders, and middling has been paid as high as
9c. The accounts per Canada of Ist May, from Liverpool,
do not appear to have realised the expectations of buyers,
and the orders from Europe being limited so much below our
present range of prices, the market closes flat and inactive—
lists that had been bought previously on speculation are
offered at easier prices, but factors are unwilling to part with
their small stocks at a decline. Sales of the week are 21,500
bales. The better grades coatinue very scarce, and as for the
North and Spain a considerable quantity is to be bought yet,
there is every probability that very little of such will go for-
ward to Liverpool henceforth. The receipts are materially
falling off, and the stocks in the interior are said to be very
small. Of the new crop we have nothing of interest to say.

There was a reduction yesterday afternoon in the terms at
which bills of exchange were negotiated on the principal
cities of the Continent. Paris, 90 days, was taken at 25 60 to
621,4 ; Amsterdam at 12 14 to 34 ; Hamburgh at 13 10% to
1114 ; and Trieste at 12 22 to 26.
There has been a further advance in Consols, and the set-
tlement of the Account, now in progress, has a decided effect,
Stock having been taken up for investment. Consols have
been 100% % for Transfer, and 100% to 101 for Account.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been at
102% to %, and the Three per Cents. at 99% to par. Bank

Foreign Stocks are generally quiet, but Mexican have
rallied to 23% for the Three per Cents., and to 3014 4 for
the Five per Cents. Spanish Five per Cents. have been
nominally 2154 743 the Three per Cents. 48, and the De-
ferred 21% 34. Equador Bonds have realised 41/4. Vene-
zuela 393/4 ; and Brazilian 101. Sardinian Stock has been
at 94%, Austrian at 79 to %, and Dutch Four per Cents.
at 94% to 95. Austrian Scrip has further advanced,
having been up to 141,1 a premium. The contractors, no
doubt, will use every exertion to get up the price, and this,
if report speaks truly, will pave the way to another loan in
the course of a year.
Railway Shares are on the rise, and there is more doing.
The French lines are livelier. Gold Mine Shares are dull.
