MONEY AND COMMERCIALNEWS

from Jamaica, Rio Janeiro, and Grenada.
il
LIVERPOOL, COTTON AkKET, MONDAY.—We continue
to have a good demand for Cotton ; to-day sales are 4,000
bags (including 600 taken for export), at steady prices.

We have received a Halifax paper of the 6th of August.
THE BOUNDARY.—The following resolutions were lately
passed at a Convention holden at Augusta, State of the
Maine, on the subject of the North-east Boundary.
They are very strong :
Resolved—That our north-east boundary question is one
of primary and all absorbing interest to our aeople, and
while we highly approve the energetic measures resorted
to by our State last winter to capture or drive off the ruth-
less band of English marauders who were plundering eur
property, laying waste our public lands, and setting our
laws at defiance, we cannot consent to stop where we now
are. No, the line must be run. The meets and bounds
must be established, and the British told—" Thus far
shalt thou come, but no further."

Resolved—That the recent attempt which is understood
to have been made by Great Britain to involve the question
in new difficulty, by proposing a survey under such circum-
stances and conditions as tend to render it morally impossi-
ble to settle the question, is in per!ect keeping with the
procrastinating policy hitherto pursued by that Govern-
ment, and au insult to the United States and to Maine.
Resolved—That unless this vexed question be, speedily
settled by the Governments of the United States and
Great Britain, it will become the imperative duty of the
United States to extend their jurisdiction over the whole
territory ; and if they fail to do so, Maine would be re.
creant to her interest, her rights, and her honour, if she
did not take the business into her own hands, and establish
there her individual sovereignty, "peaceably if she can,
forcibly if she must."

We have received Buenos Ayres Papers to June 16 :
" This day, 15th.linst. completes the 445th day of the
blockade.

" Treasury Bills in'circulation on the Ist inst., 4,419,600
dollars. Exchange -in England during the week 31
pence, the lowest 3i pence. The highest price of Doub-
loons 250 dollars.

'The weather during the week has been changeable and
damp, the winter hitherto has been mild.

" Black diamonds (coals) are scarce, thanks to the
blockade ; this scarcity has as yet been little felt."
We have received Montreal Papers one day later, to the
22d August. They are filled with English and French
intelligence.

By the overland mail from India, accounts have been
received at Calcutta from China of May 6, by the Rob
Roy, stating that until the final delivery of 20,283 chests
of opium the sixteen British subjects who had been arrested
at Canton were to be detained ; also that none of the ves.
sets outside were to be admitted. Captain Elliot states
that after this event it will be impracticable for any of
his countrymen to remain there, and that he will stop
all British vessels entering the river, in consequence of
the protracted suspension of the trade, which must occur
after the surrendering of the opium is completed. A
deputation, consisting of Messrs. Inglis, Mathison, and
Lindsay, are appointed to proceed to England. The lat-
ter has already left Canton, in order to enforce on the
British Government at home the claims of owners of the
opium thus surrendered.

The above intelligence immediately produced an in-
quiry for tea, but,
in consequence of the refusal of im-
porters to sell, except at much higher. prices, the transac-
tions were not extensive, but the business done was at an
advance upon last week's quotations.
The above information was received at the North and
South American Coffee House at a late hour in the after-
noon.
