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. 9d., and 300 Surat at 4d. to 4%d. per lb.—ln Railway
Shares a fair business was done at rather higher rates.
'the 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 hisletter
to the Finance Minister of the Republic protesting against
the delay in making remittances; points out the law bear-
ing en 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 ao 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, 7,000/. ;
in February, 1852, 4,7821.; making together 11,7821.,
of 422 000 or
78,000 dollars, which leaves a balance dollars.
" I do not mention the 12,5001. remitted in 'Jul

cause they formed part of the to 1851,

"I trust your Excellency will not deviate from this re-

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-
ledgment of this letter, and of the preceding one, for my
own guidance."
Perhaps the most consolatory circumstance for the bond-
holders is that theenergy 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
" 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 ta 37,750 bales, of which
16,000 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 has 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 lst 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—
hits 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 continue 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 cf 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
62%; Amsterdam at 12 1% to 34 ; Hamburgh at 13 103/4 to
1114 ; and Trieste at 12 22 to 26.
There has been a further advance in Consols, and the set-

been 100% 7/g for Transfer, and 10031 to 101 for Account.
