MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Arrivals this morning— French mail ; ship letters from
Madras, 2d April ; Calcutta, Bth March.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.—WC have had
a moderate demand for Cotton to-day without materiel
change in prices. The sales 1,800 bags to the trade.
We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the
13th June.

" PORT NATAL—We have forborne to copy from the
public journals the declarations, &c. of the Farmers at
Port Natal, expecting some information from some less
liable to be moved by feelings, with the assistance of
which we might be liable to lay before our readers some
unquestionable conclusions on which it might be safe to
act. The accounts of the country and of the present
condition of the emigrants, if correct, are calculated to
allure the dissatisfied from most parts of the colony ; con-
sequently if they are incorrect, they will only alure them
to their min. The tide has so often suddenly tuned with
these people, and an impression is so easily made by re-
ports in the present state of the public mind, that no man
can be held guiltless who rashly propagates false or un-
founded statements on the subject. •
" The report that it is the intention of the British Go-
vernment to colonise Natal on principles somewhat similar
to those acted upon in South Australia is, we believe,
rather an anticipation than a fact. It, is, however, ex-
tremely probable that some measure tending to the same
end—the prevention of private war in the interior—will
speedily be adopted."
The exportation of the precious metals from the port of
London, for the week ending on Saturday last, consisted,
according to the official returns, of 5,859 ounces of gold
coin, 4,000 ounces of gold bars, 80,000 ounces of silver
coin, and 24,360 ounces of silver bars. By the above it
will be perceived that the exportation of the precious
metals still continues, although not so considerable as
heretofore.

There was a material improvement yester3ay afternoon
in the Foreign Exchanges, and bills were more plentiful.
The operations of our Bank with that of Paris begin to
have an effect on the rates of the Exchanges, and it is
expected that they will gradually improve.
Nothing has as yet transpired respecting the funding of
the four millions of Exchequer Bills, or who are the
parties intending to send in their tenders. The same ex-
citement prevails among the monied interest, and the gen.
tlemen of the Stock Exchange, as they are very anxious
to have an explanation on the subject from the Chancellor
of the Exchequer previous to the bidding,, which takes
place on Friday next : the opinion still prevails that no
person can bid without he is in possession of the 800,000
Exchequer Bills. In all probability should any party pro-
ceed to the Treasury on Friday next, with an intent to
give their tender, the Chancellor of the Exchequer may
alter his plan.
