MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY (THIS DAY): ELEVEZ O'CLOCK.
Owing to the sudden change- of the weather to a severe
frost, a number of inland mails had not arrived at the Post-
office at nine o'clock this morning, no doubt in consequence of
the heavy fall of snow in the North ; in consequence of which
we understand that there will not be any delivery of letters
from the Post-office until half-past eleven or twelve o'clock.
It was generally expected we should have the American
Papers and letters from Liverpool, by the Roscoe, in the early
part of the morning ; by the Liverpool train, but they have not
as yet made their appearance.
Accounts have been received from Monte Video to the 13th
November, two days later than the previous infor.nation ; they
are of little importance. The insurgent Chief, Riveira, has pub-
lished a Proclamation. He states the fate of Monte Video is
fixed for ever ; and the new President boasts that he was the
first, and has beer the most strict, observer of the Consti-
tutional forms of the State. He was about to establish a Re-
gister, or Gazette, in which all his resolves would be daily pub-
lished by his Secretaries.
From Buenos Ayres nothing new.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—The demand for cotton to-
day has been only to a moderate extent : the sales do not ex-
ceed 1,500 bags, of which 200 have been taken on speculation
at previous prices.
The Stock Market at New York was more active, and ge-
nerally at improved prices. United States Bank Shares 1231.
Exchange on London. 4 dollars 86 cents. to 4 dollars 87 cents.
per pound sterling. The sales on England were to a fair ex-
tent. The following dividends were declared :—The New
York Insurance Company, 5 per cent., and next dividend 10
per cent. ; the Ocean Insurance, 6 per cent. ; Jackson's Ma-
rine, 3 per cent. ; and the Farmers', 4 per cent.
(From the Montreal Papers of the 3d January.)
The Court-martial was continued, the defence of the pri-
soners had been concluded, and the Judge-Advocate had deli-
vered his address. Judgment had not been given. No fur-
ther news in the above Papers.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The news received from Canada upon the whole may be
comidered favourable, as no mention is made in the Papers of
the rebels being in force in any quarter. We have received a
Montreal Paper of the 3d Jan., which states that Captain
Lew is Moffatt, of the Montreal Rifles, sailed in the Siddons
from New York for London on the 25th with important dis-
patches from Sir John Colborne. Judge Bedard and Mr.
Mason, of Quebec, were passengers in the Siddons.
The British as well as the Foreign Markets have been en-
tirely inactive during the morning, and Consols may be quoted

HE CANADIAN PRISONERS.--It will be seen,
from our law report, that the further hearing of counsel for
and against these individuals is postponed till next term, which
commences on the 15th of April, about eleven weeks hence,
and if all the inferior Courts are to have their turn and give
them a hearing, like the Court of Exchequer, the discussion
may be carried on to the end of the year. The gaolers are
quite sick of them. 11r. Batchelor, of course, thinks he has
already had his share of the trouble. The Governor of New_
sate and the Sheriffs of London will have nothing to do with
them, and the Government, therefore, has been obliged to find
a place for them in the Penitentiary. It has been a bungled
ousiness from the beginning, but the ignorance or negligence
of the law officers in Canada has been of great use to their
brethren in trade here. The prisoners have already been
before the Courts more than a fortnight. Who pays Mr.
Hill and Mr. Roebuck we know not, but the country must
pay for those on the other side, five or six in number, and all
leading counsel, and entitled to large fees. Colonel Sibthorp
longs for the meeting of Parliament, to move for returns of
expenses incurred by Mr. Hume's affidavit. The proceedings
altogether will confirm the suspended Judges in Canada in
their opinion, that they know more of Colonial law than the
Governor's legal advisers.
