MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,. MARCH 20.—We have
had a very extensive demand for Cotton to-day. The
transactions arc estimated at not less than 12,000 bags, of
which 3,000 have been taken on speculation, and very full
prices obtained.
Our arrivals the morning are the French and Ostend
mails, and ship letters from Sierra Leone, Philadelphia,
and Jamaica.

The accounts received from Manchester, this morning,
state that there was considerable inquiry for yarn yesterday,
but the spinners having generally demanded an advance
somewhat beyond the late advance in cotton, which the
buyers were unwilling to give, the amount of business
was limited, but large parcels would have been taken at a
trifling reduction upon the prices asked. Printing cloth
was in a better demand, and an advance of 3d. to 44-d.
upon the prices of last week was readily obtained ; but
heavier fabrics continue exceedingly dull. We understand
that the working of short time at Staleybridge, is not
likely to continue beyond this day ; indeed, several of the
mills have already resumed full time.
THE FUNDS.

'We have very few arrivals this morning, and they are not
of importance, with the exception of the Ostend mail,
which brings the result of the Chamber of Representatives
at Brussels, on the signing of the Treaty of the Twenty-
four Articles, by the King, which was carried by a ma-
jority of 16. Thus ends this long procrastinated affair between
the Dutch and Belgians, as there cannot he the smallest
doubt that it will be also confirmed by the Senate.
To the present hour it has had but little effect, either on
the Dutch or Belgian Funds. The former which closed yes-
terday at 551 i, at present may be quoted at 55:3- 1, the
latter closed at 1011 102, opened the same, with little doing
in them as yet.
We stated in our City article of Tuesday last that a re-
port prevailed of riots at Manchester, and that a regiment
of troops had proceeded to the above place. It now ap-
pears that there were sufficient grounds for the above re-
port. Orders have been received from the Master-
General of the Ordnance for a number of artillery to
proceed to that quarter.
Consols opened this morning at the leaving-off prices of
yesterday, 924 if for Money, and 921 93 for the Account.

HALF-PAST ONE.
It appears by accounts in the Dutch papers that the Go.
vernor of New South Wales has intimated to the parties
interested that the British Government have resolve that
no intercourse between that Colony and the Dutch pos-
sessions in tlic Indian Archipelago could be continued on
the principal of the Treaty of the 17th March, 1834. This
resolution was to take effect from the Ist of January of the
present year.
Montreal Papers to the 24th February state that a reso-
lution was unanimously adopted, at a meeting of the Ge-
neral Committee of the Constitutional Association, to
authorize the Hon. George Moffat, now in Upper Canada,
to advocate in that province the important measure of the
Legislative Union of the Canadas, and that "from the
information which we possess of the real interest of the
provinces, he will be enabled to remove the few objections
existing in Upper Canada to the measure of the Union,
and thereby secure the cordial concurrence of the Legisla-
ture of that province."

LAMBS.-A country gentleman says :—" lam
amused with your Correspondent's early lambs. Why, I
myself had 17 from 9 ewes on the 2(.1 March ; and on Sa-
turday, the 9:h, 30 from 17 dams, nor have I lost from
not baulking earliness in the rutting season,
weakness a single head. lam strongly of opinion that
encouraging,ncreases greatly the fecundity of woolly stock, wherever
,
it can bo clone with perfect safety in regard to situation,
shelter, and food."—Dumfries Courier.
