MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The following is from Messrs. Schreeder and Mummy's
Circular, dated New Orleans, January 31:—
" Cotton—Our last Circular was dated 10th instant,
and reported middling at 7ic. per lb.—prices continued
firm, in some instances higher and without any sensible
variation until the 26th inst., when we received the news
from Liverpool of the 10th inst, announcing an unsatis-
factory state of political relations between France and
England, its immediate effect was a stagnation of busi-
ness for a day or two. The sales were limited and at
irregular prices, showing a decline however of *c. per
lb. upon the lower grades—further details of the ac-
eounts coming to hand by the wires and modifying the
first impression produced, business was again resumed,
and prices gradually stiffening have now nearly reached
the late highest point—even running lots of middling
being worth Tic. per lb. The sales during the last
three weeks have been quite large, amounting to
137,500 bales against receipts of 117,823 bales in the
same time. The stock for sale continues moderate,
despite the opening of some important tributaries—the
quality is still unsatisfactory, the better descriptions
being scarce. The general expectation is that the next
steamer must bring accounts of a more tranquillising and
settled character; in this event we think our prices for
Cotton will be fully maintained under the universal de-
mand which prevails at present. We quote ordinary to
'good ordinary at 6 to 68; low middling, 7 to 7i;
middling, 7i; good middling, 71 to 8; middling fair,
81 to 8-a; fair, 81 to 81. Sales during the three weeks
137,500 bales. Receipts at this port, 693,509 bales—
against 561,678 hales last year. Increase of receipts at
all ports, 84,980 bales. Increase of total exports to
Great Britain, 54,158 bales. Decrease of total exports
to France 10,417 bales, and to other foreign ports
15,718, against last year."
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales, of which 500
Surat were taken on speculation. The sales include 400
Pernam and Maranharn at sid. to 64d., 200 Egyptian at
sid. to 9d.: 1,500 Surat at '4d. to 4d., 40 Sea Island at
ls. 2d. to Is. W., and the remainder American.

market closed steadily.—Railway Shares
rather higher rates.
In referring to the condition of the dried fruit trade,
Messrs. Witherby and Hanson remark that the clear-
ances of currants have greatly fallen off, and then pro-
ceeds to state that—
" It is difficult to account for this sudden decrease in
our deliveries for consumption. A similar falling off, in
the early part of 1850, arose from foreign speculative
purchases havieg:driven prices 3s. per cwt. above those of
Liverpool. It must be borne in mind, however, that the
clearances in November tr:d December last reached nearly
4,000 tons, which far exceeded those of any former year,
and that the trade generally may be over cautious this
season in consequence of the gradual decline in price at
this market during the whole of last season. Advices
from Pares represent the disastroes results of the 1850
crop and the unremunerative prices of the present season
as causing great distress amongst the growers of cur-
rants, and leave room to expect that the production may
bo seriously checked this year. So great is the scarcity
of money in the Morea, and the want of confidence on
the part of merchants, that the growers have, in many
extensive localities, been precluded from obtaining those
advances which are absolutely requisite for the mere
cultivation of the vines. It is much to be desired that
the present adverse state of things may effectually
check the production of the ' Pirgos,' and other low
growths, which have of late years so much infested this
market."

The American advices are favourable, and as the ex-
change keeps up, we may expect continued imports of
specie. The New York Herald, alluding to the Quartz
Mining Companies, states:—A great many quartz
mining companies have recently been formed iu this
city, in London, and in San Francisco; but it is impos-
sible to tell, at this early day, how many will actually go
into operation. All it wants is capital, and the English
companies are, therefore, likely to be more successful
than those formed in this country. Attempts have lately
been made to get up two or three new companies here,
but it is our impression that they have not progressed
very rapidly. In one instance dividends have been de-
clared, and we believe the whole capital stock has been
paid back to the original holders, out of the prospective
earnings of the company. Many of these quartz mining
stock companies are destined to be great bubbles, and the
uninitiated aro in a fair way of being pretty well fleeced.
Tho Mexican Government has quite worsted the revo-
lutionists.

Caravajal and his followers are said to be in a very
destitute condition, and there is no probability that they
will again attempt to revolutionise Northern Mexico.
At last accounts, the revolutionists were encamped on
the borders of Texas, and General Harney had sent a
detachment of United States troops to arrest the whole
squad.
The recently attempted revolution in Chili, by
General Cruz, a disappointed candidate in the last Pre-
sidential election, was suppressed on the Bth of December
last, in a battle at Longomille, in which Cruz was de-
feated by General Buires. The republic was quiet on
the 26th of that month, and Montt, the President, re-
mained undisturbed in his office.
The Bank of England has positively declined to pur-
chase any gold not of standard fineness; sellers, there-
fore, must not only melt but refine their metal.
The English Stock Market has been very dull, but
prices continue steady. Consols have been 97 to 4 for
Transfer, and are now 97i, sellers. The foreign news
is not of interest, but the further large amount of specie
from America should rather be in favour of Stock
prices. The Unfunded Debt is steady at 60s. to 635.,
and ledia Bonds are 71s. to 735. premium.
In Foreign Securities there is not a great deal doing,
but prices look up. The Spanish Committee's Certifi-
cate has risen to 1 per cent. The Five per Cents. are
nominally 23i- to and the Three per Cents.4o4 to 411.
Portuguese Four per Cents, are worth 33. Mexican

NOwLAND v. MATHEWS.
This was an action to recover the balance of salary
alleged to be due to the plaintiff as mistress of the
ward:
robe at the Lyceum Theatre, of which the defendant
ana
his wife were the lessees and manngers.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. J. C. Jones appesred
for the plaintiff; and Mr. E. 'James and Mr. l'hiptell
conducted the defence.
The plaintiff, Catharine Newland, bad been a drew
maker, at Liverpool, and in Omober, 1848, she came t°
London, and was engaged by Mrs. Mathews as mistress
of the wardrobe at the Lyceum Theatre; her duty being
to design, cut, and arrange all the dresses of the ladies.
She received a salary of 31. a week, but was also In 4"
habit of doing private work for Mrs. Mathews. At 411
end of 1849 there was 24/. 10e owing to her, being li"
for dress-making, and four weeks' salary. This debt
she agreed to cancel on receiving an increased seleri
of 41. per week. She undertook at the same time to
design the dresses of the principal ladies when IVY
might be required to play in the character of boys
She was paid the 41. a week until July in the season
of 1851, and then, in consequence of some disagrea
ment with Mrs. Mathews, she was desired to leave th
house by the attendant of Mr. Mathews,and aft
m
wards by Mr. Mathews himself. Next orning 8 0
went to resume her duties, but was denied admittanc
by the hall porter. She, however, continued to

herself every day until she received a formal note,.
from Mr. Mathews. Among other things eh

therefore abandon the charge against Joy. pith a •
