MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CL.iiCK
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimatea
at 6,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for export and on
speculation. The market closed tamely at previous rates.
—Railway shares were very dull and at lower prices.
The weekly statement of the Bank of England is made up
to the 6th instant. The amount of the precious metals was
larger again, and there was a curtailment of the circulation,
for although the discounts, judging by the addition made to
the other securities, increased to some extent, there was
more than half a million paid in to the deposit accounts, and
this turned the balance. The "Rest" appears to be nearly
at its maximum for the current quarter. Compared with
the previous week, the changes are as follows :

The circulation of the United Kingdom during the four
weeks to the 21st ult. was 34,495,2701., an increase of
1,345,8311. over February, 1851.
Bills of Exchange on the Continental cities yesterday af-
ternoon were very little dealt in, and the previous rates were
generally paid. Paris, 90 days, 25 50 to a ; Amsterdam,
12 0% to 3/4 ; Hamburgh, 13 11 to 144 ; and Trieste, 12 38
to 45._ This last is an advance.

So far from the Californian land titles becoming clearer, as
was hoped, they seem to get involved in renewed doubt, and
the report of the United States Government Agent, Mr.
Carey Jones, by no means satisfies those who are conversant
with the usual system of making land grants in Mexico.
Further than this, Mr. Hoffmann, who was or is Colonel
Fremont's agent in Europe, disputes the fact of a sale of the
Mariposas having been made to Mr. Sargent, and writes as
follows :

" I have the pleasure to state that letters (four in number)
received this Ist of March from Colonel Fremont, request
me, and enable me (from my knowledge here), to state as
follows :—I confirm all my remarks of the 24th February
(at that time necessarily somewhat conjectural).
There never was a sale, and never will be one.
The revocation, alluded to by me, as received by Colonel
Benton, has been acknowledged, and the power of the Ist of
October was itself wholly clogged with terms and conditions
not at all named or alluded to in the copies here, a mere con-
trivance to raise money for purposes well known to Sargent;
and Sargent never possessed the originals, now deposited
elsewhere, and of no possible use to any one, no more than
waste paper, because there was no absolute sale, and never
will be one. The non-delivery of the originals to Sargent,
or to any company whatever, was a management and on
terms and for motives now well known to me, but of no mo-
ment whatever, as Colonel Fremont indignantly repudiates
all. Colonel Fremont insists upon (and very justly) an im-
mediate compliance, by all lessees or contractors here with
their stipulations, or that I shall early annul said contracts,
or not execute those given out by me, and which are not yet
engrossed, by reason of said non-compliance, if at all per-
sisted in, they, therefore, must early decide.—[lt is but just,
however, for me to state that, with but one exception, all
have remained anxious to faithfully execute ther contracts.]
He disclaims all and every part of the alleged familiarity of
acquaintance between him and Thomas Denny Sargent, and
utterly denies Sargent's statement as to a letter relied on by
him from Mrs. Fremont."
In conclusion Mr. Hoffmann affirms—

" That duty, and justice, and honour command me to re-
main wholly in statu quo until Colonel Fremont himself
shall pronounce pro or con. That should the estate validly
and justly have passed from Colonel Fremont to Mr. Sargent
(who in this matter must, after all, be regarded as being
very largely nominal), then, as far as justice, consistency,
and honour shall admonish me, and likewise the justice due
to innocent stockholders here, I shall do all that the matter
shall then really need to harmonise all the real parties, all
the companies here and elsewhere, so that California in ge-
neral, and the Mariposa estate in particular, shall yield to
each and all their just and legitimate rights.
"And, lastly, but if matters be as I have previously stated.
and Colonel Fremont adds his own proofs to my own, then I
aver again that Colonel Framont has not parted with his
estate, and that Thomas Denny Sargent is not, and never
will become, the proprietor of any part whatever of said
estate."

The whole " gist" of this affair rests upon the alleged
withdrawal from Colonel Benton, who acted as Colonel
Fremont's agent in the United States, of the power of sale
previously given, and none of the points mooted touch the
question of " original title," which it would he so easy to
publish.
The exports of silver from the port of London direct during
the week to Thursday last were 350,151 ounces, of which the
greater part went, to Rotterdam and Belgium. Of gold,
14,222 ounces were sent away.
The highest satisfaction is expressed in the City at the
news from the Cape, and the successes of the gallant Sir
Harry Smith, with whom, since Earl Grey's dispatch, the
public sympathy here is very strong.
The English Stock. Market has been very buoyant, and the
Kafir news has had an excellent effect. Consols have been
quoted 97i for Transfer, and 97i to 98 for Account. Ex-
chequer-bills have been advanced Is., being 645. to 675.

The Railway Share Market is without any marked
change, and not much is doing.
