MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.—Tbe demand
for cotton continues to be moderate to-day, sales barely
1,000 bags, without change in prices.
The exportation of the precious metals from the Port of
London for the week ending Saturday last, consisted, ac-
cording to the official returns, of 37,670 ouncesof gold bars,
3,300 ounces of gold coin, and 250,000 ounces of silver
coin ; the gold coin was divided between Rotterdam and
Hamburg; the silver coin was sent to Bombay and the
West Indies. It will be seen that the exportation of pre-
cious metals continued to a considerable extent up to the
last week, but there is hope now that it will not go on much
longer, as the Exchanges are improving. It is stated that
since the last returns from the Bank of England their
stock of bullion has decreased 800,0001. in gold, in-conse-
quence of which the Bank Directors have curtailed the
circulation in proportion, and in the course of yesterday a
great amount of Exchequer Bills were sold in the market,
said to be for the account of the Bank,
It is stated that money is becoming scarce in the United
States, and the raising of 800,000/. dollars at New York,
for the affairs of Maine, has failed.
The business done yesterday on 'Change in the Foreign
Exchanges was at an improved rate.
We are exceedingly short of arrivals this morning, and
the only news of importance is by the Express from Paris
of the formation of a French Minis!ry, but such a one so
weak in all its parts that it is the general opinion that it
cannot last above a few week ; it is even scouted in the
French capital.
A new Joint Stock Company has been started, to be
called, " West India Land Investment." Its object is the
investment of capital in the British West Indies, for the
support of those negroes and labourers who may be ill-
treated or oppressed by the planters. The proposed ca-
pital to be 100,0001., in shares of 500/. each. How far
this novelty will succeed is as yet to be seen.
The new Ministry appointed by the King of France
has not had the !cast effect on the British Market.
Consols opened this morning at the leaving off prices of
yesterday, and the market continues inactive to the pre-
sent time. Consols for the Account both for time and
money, 921 -; Exchequer Bills lower, '3B 40, owing to
heavy sales of them yesterday. In India Bonds nothing
doing; Bank Stock for the opening 201 202; India

greath dearth of intelligence in the City. Consols have
been during the most pirt of the morning at 921, alter-
nately buyers and sellers for the early part. Fifty thou-
sand were sold at 921, and the Commissioners purchased
about six thousand at the above price, since which the
market has rather improved, and Consols may be quoted
at present 921 s for the Account, with little doing ; Ex.

EVENING EDITION

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

The Morning Herald of this dtaayinmcoennttaaints
taheleViairz
article on' the Lord Mayor's enter
sion-house, and another on the prospect of a war be-
tween England and America ; neither of these articles
urge any remarks of moment. The Morning Chrontele,
commenting on the imperfections of the Reform Bil!,
says it " has done something, and indicates how the
large remainder may be accomplished. The working-
classes complain of not being heard in the Legislature.
Remove the factitious limitation on free trade, that bars
the House of Commons against their order." The
Times observes, in reference to the boundary question
now pending between this country and the United
States, " Short of the national honour, there are few
sacrifices which we would not make for peace with the
United States." The Morning Advertiser, speaking c
Sir Robert Peel's speech at the recent Mansion-1..
dinner, says, " a man who has orce sacrificed his con-
scientious convictions to expediency is not to be trusted."
The Morning Post has a long leading article on tI)
sportive and inviting subject of Oxford theology.
