MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY. We have
had a lair demand for Cotton to-day without material
eirmge in prices. The sales, 4,000 bags, of which 1,000
have been taken on speculation.
Arrivals this morning, French and Ostend mails; ship
letters from Pniladelphia and New York of 25th June, by
the Garrick.

Late Papers have been received from the Sandwich
Islands at the North and South American Coffee House
to the 10th February :—'• Such a season for southerly
winds as we have experienced, has not been known for many
years. Since November 21st there has not been any
regular trade. A faint land breeze two or three times fur
a day or two, has enabled vessels to get out of the harbour.
The ship Rasselas dragged, with about 40 fathoms
chain, on the small bower; she was very near the Oscar,
laying at the Wharf. The ship Nereide swung against
the bank, where she remained till Sunday evening. From
Diamond Hill towards Barber's Point was nothing but
one continued chain of seas breaking upon the reef, which
threw a heavy swell into the harbour. It is said by the
oldest natives that such a gale has not been felt there for
more than twenty years."

Our letters from Tahiti state that the French Frigate
La Venus had visited that island for the purpose of de
manding satisfaction for the unjust cruel assault made on
the French Priests, at the time they were torn by the mob
from the house of the American Consul, and forced on
board a small schooner.
The refusal of the Bank Directors of the sixteen offers
for the Dead Weight, has caused but little excitement in
the City to the present time, but it had the effect of im-
proving the British Funds. The various tenders contain-
ing the prices offered for the Dead Weight, were not
opened by the Directors themselves; two eminent Stock
Brokers, Messrs. Cole and Gribble, were sent for by the
Committee of Treasury, who opened the tenders in their
presence, as also a sealed paper, delivered to them by the
Directors, containing, as supposed, the lowest price the
Bank were disposed to take for the Dead Weight, which is
still a secret; report says that the Bank wants 171.
In all probability the minimum price will be ascertained
in the course of this day.

CHILIAN LOAN OF 1,000,0001.
CONTRACTED FOR IN ISc''), BETWEEN DON ANTONIO
JOSE DE YRISARRI, PLENIPOTENTIARY OF THAT RE-
PUBLIC AND THE HOUSE OF MIF.SSRS HULLETT
BROTHERS AND CO. OF LONDON..

From the remarks made Im, some gentlemen who spoke
at the two public meetings lately held at the London Ta-
vern, Bishopsgate-street, it is manifest that much igno- I
rance prevails upon the following essential point, viz. :
Ist. The merits of the contract itself. That the Chi-
lians, brought up with all the ignorance and pre.judices
resulting from the social state under Spanish domination,
should complain of a six per cent. loan, negociated at 671
per cent., and which produced 671,200/., is, perhaps, na-
tural, and not unaccountable ; but it is neither natural
nor national for any well-educated English gentle-
man to be found so ignorant of what constitutes the credit
of nations, of the basis on which rests that of his
own nation, pre-eminent above all others, and of what con-
stitutes public faith, as to endeavour to apologise, at a
public meeting, for the conduct of Chili, in withholding
the dividends due to his countrymen, upon the grounds
that the net proceeds of the loan received in Chili were
were not as weighty as would have been those of a loan
for a nation possessing, and deserving to possess, more
credit than at that time was enjoyed by the Republic of
Chili. But the political economists of Chili were en-
lightened upon this subject by their own plenipoten-
tiary who contracted the loan, Don Antonio Jose de
Yrisarri, in a pamphlet of 49 pages, published under
the title of " Emprestito de Chile," in Santiege de
Chile, on the 16th of May, 1833, eleven years after
the loan had been negotiated, and eight years after the
final accounts had been rendered by Messrs. Hallett
Brothers and Co. In that eloquent and truth-telling
pamphlet, Yrisarri, after reminding the Chilians that when,
in 1822, they were not even secure of their independence,
when their resources were exhausted and the Government
so discredited that those who advanced it fifty dollars on
the security of an order on the Custom-house for 100
dollars, required in addition the personal guarantee of
the collector, and when money in Chili was worth 24
per cent, per annum, he succeeded in London in estab-
lishing, a credit for the State, which it had not amongst
its own citiSens, by negotiating a loan of 1,000,000/. at
a rate of 41; per cent. higher than France, in 1816 ;
per cent. better than the loan to Spain, byArdouin and Hub-
bard, and considerably better than the loans subsequently
raised for the other South American Republics ; and that he
had done all this with Huaett Brothers and Co., at a charge
of nearly 4 per cent. commission less than was usually
charged by loan contractors. Yrisarri further tells them that,
by the difference alone between the dividends on the loan,
even at 71 per cent., and the Chili:no rate of interest, they
gained yearly 161 per cent. on every 1001. ; or, in six
years and 22 days, caved the whole million of the original
loan ; after this it is not for Chili to disguise her perfidy,
either under complaints of the terms of the loan or of the
London contractors. But lest the fastidious advocate for
Chili should feel any conscientious scruples about pocket-
ing the 6 per cent. dividends of that republic, let me re-
mind him of the rates and interetas of the foreign loans
enumerated below,* and that, during the war in the year
1814, our Government had to pay 3 per cent. on
36,000,0001. negotiated at about 54 ; yet neither our own,
nor any other G ivernment but that of Chili ever attempted
to shuffle their creditors out of their property upon the
ground that the interest contracted for was too high. If,
after all this, his conscience absolutely rebel against se-
ceiving more than 3 for his stipulated 6 per cent., let him
be comforted with the assurance of a Chilian Minister of
Finance arid Plenipotentiary—in fact the very man who
made the loan—that the Chilians after paying him the full
6 per cent., and even 11 more, wouldj still; gain 161 per
annum on every one of his 100/. bonds, as long as they are
unredeemed, and in 13 years have already of his " ONE TA-
LENT" made TWO other " TALENTS."

2dly. In treating of the non-fulfilment of the conditions
of the English loan, people speak in general terms, myself
not excepted, as if the whole government of Chili, or the
whole people, were equally to blame. Now such an impres-
sion is unjust and ought not to exist. On the 2d October,
1827, by order of the President of Chili, Senor Egana
wrote to his Majesty's Consul-general, that after March,
1828, the full dividends would be remitted, and that the
Government engaged irrevocably to comply with the
terms of the contract. In 1833 the President, in his speech
to the National Congress, states that he had recognised Mr.
Caldecleugh as official agent of the bondholders, and that
he expected to make such an arrangement with him as
would fulfil all the obligations of the republic. In 1834 Don
Manuel Rengifo (the most honest and able of Chilian
financiers, who, in four years, paid off 1,100,000 dollars of
internal debt) pointed to the necessity and expressed the
hope of providing for the dividends on the English loan, in
his public exposition to Congress. In his exposition for
1835 he stated the same necessity more forcibly, and told
the Congress the nation would cover itself with indelible'
disgrace if it delayed to remit, when able to remit, the
funds, which he calculated would be, at the latest, in
1837. His successor, Don Joaquim Tocernal, urged the
performance of the same duty, and no intention of alter-
ing the terms of the original contract or of making a dis-
honourable composition was ever professed till the entrance
into office, towards the end of 1835, of the late Minister
Don Diego Portales, when, for the first time, propositions
were made to the agent of the bondholdersin Chili, by Mr.
Caldecleugh, in terms almost the same as those offered
by Senor Rosales, at the general meeting of May 30.
1837, and he ventured even to discuss the possibility of
forcing the bondholders to accept them, or of evading
the fulfilment of the contract altogether. Mr. Calde-
cleugh, with the advice of her Majesty's Consul-General,
at once rejected the terms of the Minister Portales-,.
and, on the part of the bondholders, proposed to receive
half dividends, up to the 30th September, 1843, but, after
that period, the full six per eent. upon the capital and the
arrears of interest. This did not suit the project of Por-
tales for getting rid of the obligations of the English loan
by compulsory process, and hence the appointment of a
special agent, to make the attempt in London. I would
blame the Chilian Executive no further than for persisting
in the unjust policy of a late favourite but not over-srupu-
lous Minister ' • and as for the Congress of Chili, though
that assembly formally sanctioned the appointment of an
agent to London, yet the decree expressed that it was to
satisfy the just claims of the national creditor, and not to
barter away the national name and honour for a paltry
consideration of money, under pretences of insolvency,
incompetency to raise taxes, or any other excuse of na-
tional impotency, which a real patriot would endeavour to
avoid by every sacrifice, rather than expose his country to
the contempt and scorn of all other nations for a scandal-
oust breach of faith, sought to be cloaked under pretexts
no less false than frivolous.

The third and last error which at present I shall touch
upon is the supposition that in Chili there is any real ina-
bility to pay the full dividends. In saying so, Ido not;
mean that she could conveniently pay up at once the.
780,0001. of arrears for 13 years, but she is quite able to
pay 6 per cent. upon the original million, and in a very few
years will be able to pay 6 per cent. upon the interest ca-
pitalised. The finance estimates for the years 1831, 1832,
and 1833, amounted to 2,098,000 dollars, including a full.
provision for the foreign debt; and as Senor Rosales him-,
self confesses the Chilian revenue has reached 2,200,000
dollars per annum, it is not to be controverted that when-
the Government, nr.iw that the war with Peru is ended,
returns to its peace establishment, there will be a surplus
of upwards of 170,000 dollars yearly, after paying full di-
vidends, and that by the year 1849 the surplus will be up-
wards of 2,000,000 dollars, after covering all the expendi-
ture of the State.

to say she has been hard used, when she got money at 67& per
cent., though the actual average of her credit in London fur
the last 13 years has been only 291. !

MUSICAL ELOPEMENT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I raw, with painful sympathy, in Saturday's Sue.
" Musical Elopement." If society were properly consti-
tuted no offender in that way would be countenanced.
The offensive person in this case would meet in every
circle th'2 just scorn and contempt due to such enormities
—all such should be advertised in the Hue and Cry. Our
Legislature might be fully as well employed in concoctim;
a law to punish such offenders otherwise than by civil
action, to quite as much advantage to the country as most
of the absurd, crotchety legislation they turn out Session
after Session, either is or ever will be. Can you say if th e
following is in force—(sce page 24 " Gifford's English
Lawyer, 18th Edit., 1833, Abduction and Adultery, West-
minster 1, 3 Edward, 1., c. 13")—by which the offender
may be imprisoned two years ?"

ONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

WEDNESDAY.

PO ST. —We understand there were fifteen or sixteen
separate tenders made to-day for port. ons of what bas
been in slang phrase denominated the Dead Weight An-
nuity of the Bank of England. We believe the majority
j of the tenders were calculated on the principle of the
1 parties receiving rather upwards of four per cent. per
annum interest, in addition to replacing the capital at the
I expiration of the twenty-eight years. The Bank Direc-
tors have not deemed it expedient. consistent with their
duty, to accept of any of the tenders, and whether the
matter may or may not become the subject of further ne-
gotiation remains to be seen. We shall no doubt have
abundance of carping against the course taken by the Di_
rectors of the Bank, because they have not thrown them_
selves without reserve into the arms of the money jobbers,
TIMES.—To-day, at 12 o'clock, being fixed for the
presentation of tenders at the Bank of England for the
purchase of the " dead weight" annuity, the most live'y
curiosity with respect to the result has been evinced. What
actually occurred is not so open as it should have been to
public notice, but something, at least, is ascertained of the
disposition of capitalists to come forward on this occasion,
and of that of the Bank to meet the demand in a proper
manner. It is understood that in all 16 tenders were
sent in, but, instead of being opened by the Directors
themselves, two eminent brokers, Messrs. Cole and
Gribble, were sent for by the Committee of Treasury,
consisting of those members of the Bank direction who
have passed the chair. When introduced it was re-
quested of them that they would open the tenders, and
also a sealed paper delivered to them by the Directors,
containing, as was stated, the lowest price they were
disposed to take for the dead-weight annuity. When
opened, it was found that all the 16 tenders were below
that price, and consequently that none could be accepted.
It should naturally follow from this that the parties ten-
dering, if not the public generally, are to be made aware
of the minimum price fixed by the Directors , but on this
point, if any information exists, it is confined to a very select
circle indeed. Messrs. Cole and Gribble, who must have
known it, have declined to state what it is, and it is even
said that they have given a pledge to the Bank Directors
not to divulge it. It will be hardly credible out of the city
how such mystification can have been introduced into so
very simple and plain a transaction, but such, nevertheless,
is the case.

With regard to the terms of the tenders put in, there is
the same uncertainty ; but that, of course, is of less con-
sequence. When the Directors shall think fit, and they
cannot long delay it, to make their minimum price known,
together with the total amount of the " dead-weight" with
which they are disposed to part, it will soon be seen what
market there is for the commodity, and also whether they
are in earnest in the invitations they have thrown out to
Purchasers; for if their terms are not something within
the estimated value, so as to leave a bonus, however tri-
fling, f,r those who venture on the purchase, then the
whole affair can be nothing more nor less than a mockery
of the public. That the Directors, however, are sincere in
their declaration of an intention to part with this invest-
ment, is more generally believed to-day than it was at
first, and some members of the Board are even said to have
Pledged themselves that they are so. Yet, not a year ago,
so highly cherished was this as one of the choicest assets of
the Bank, on ahint being given to one of the Directors that
it should be offered for sale when money was abundant,
instead of waiting till the sale was forced upon them by a
panic, the answer was, that " he should sooner sell his
shirt l"

weight," some calculations have been made which, if cor-
rect, will be of some value to bidders in determining them
in the course they are to take.
This annuity expires the sth of April, 1867, and the
dividends are payable the sth of April and the 10th of
October, and therefore on the 17th of July, 1839, this is
an annuity for 27 years 262 days, with the addition of 103
days of accrued dividend.
TO pay 4 per cent. in perpetuity, the present
value of an annuity for 27 years 262 days is 16.6597
Add for the 103 days of accrued dividend .2713

And therefore, interest being 4 per cent., the 16.931 presento value of the dead-weight annuity is 16.9310 years' pur-
chase (161. 18s. 7d.), and the equivalent price in a 3 per
cent. stock is 75, and in a 3i- per cent, stock 871 per
cent., both clear of the dividend.
The rate of interest being 31. 19s. per cent., the present
value of the dead-weight annuity is 17.02636 years' pur-
chase (171. Os. 6d.) The equivalent price in a 3 per
cent, stock is 751. 19s. id., and in a 31 per cent. stock
881. 12s, 2d. per cent.
At 31. 18s. per cent., it is 17.122,495 years' purchase
(171. 2s. 6d). The equivalent price in a three per cent.
stuck is 761. 18s. 6d., and in a 31 per cent, stock
881. 14s, lOd. per cent.
At 31. 17s. per cent. it is 17,21944 years' purchase
(171. 4s. ad.) The equivalent price in a three per cent.
stock is 771. 18s. ad., and in a 3:11 per cent. stock it is
904 18s. 2d. per cent.
At 31. 16s. per cent. it is 17,317,4 years' purchase (17/.
6i. 4d.) The equivalent price in a three per cent. stock
is 781. 18s. 11d., and iu a 34 per cent. stock it is
92/. 2s. Id. percent.

At 3/. 153. per cent, it is 17,4160 years' purchase
(171. 83. 4d.). The equivalent in a per 3 cent. stock is 80/. ,
and in a 3i per cent. stock it is 93/. 6s. Bd. per cent.
At 31. 14s. per cent. it is 17.5159 years' purchase
171 103. 4d.). The equivalent price in a three per cent.
94/. kis 81/. Is. 7d., and in a 3i per cent. stock it is
Ils. lid. per cent.
d/it 31. 13s. per cent. it is 17.61591 years' purchase (17/.
i2s. 4d.) The equivalent price in a 3 per cent. stock is
82/. 3s. 10d., and in a 3i per cent. stock it is 95/. 17s. 10d.
per cent.

At 3l 12s. per cent. it is 17.71716 years' purchase (171.
14s• 4d.) The equivalent price in a 3 per cent. stock is
834 6s. Bd., and in a 3} per cent, stock it is 94/. 4s. 3d.
per cent.

The accrued dididend is to be stated and computed after
the following manner:—
The last dividend of 10s. was paid on the sth of April,
and the next dividend of 10s. will be due on the 10th of
October.

Now, from the sth of April to the 10th of October is
188 days, and from the sth of April to the 17th of July is
103 days, and therefore the accrued dividend on the 17th
of July is the 103-188 of 10s. But as this sum is not to
be received till the 10th of October, there must be de-
ducted the discount of 85 days from the 17th of July to the
10th of October, and so it stands thus:—

The 103-188 of los is
Deduct 85 days' discount at 4 per cent .0026

.2713
This is the value of the accrued dividend when interest
is 4 per cent., and the only variation at the other rate of
interest is, that the discount must be cast out at the same
rate of interest at which the annuity is computed.
After business hours this afternoon it transpired that
one of the tenders put in at the Bank was 17i years' pur-
chase for an annuity of 10,0001. by one of the assurance
offices ; that numerous other offers were at 16;} years' pur.
chase, and some as low as 16i. The value set upon it by
the liank is still left in uncertainty.
Some remarkable fluctuations took place to-day in the
settlement of the account in the English Stock •Market.
At first the pending negotiations with the Bank produced a
flatness, but afterwards the news of the death of the Sultan,
and the orders transmitted in consequence to the Turkish
army for the suspension cf hostilities, by which the pre-
servation of peace in the East of Europe was considered
to be secured,
.led to some improvements. Subsequently,
a further stimulus to prices was given by the scarcity of
stock for delivery, owing to the very heavy speculations for
a f5ll, which was experienced so strongly, that about two
o'clock Consols for Money advanced above the prices for
time. At the close of business they were 92i to for
for
tMoney, and 921 buyers for Account, ex. div., being a con-
tinuation of only 1-16th. The transactions of the day
Were on a more than usually extensive scale.
THE YOUNG GIIIAFFE.—The s'cin of this ani-
mal has been stuffed and placed in one of tie divisions of
the giraffe house, which had heretofore been occupied by
the spider monkeys.
It is an old saying, " that there is many a slip
betwixt the cup and the lip." An instance occurred, last
week, at a village not twenty miles from Beverley. A
fine fat blooming damsel, nearly 45, despairing of ever
changing her name, she being a cook in a gentleman's
family, with many nice bits from her master's table, wished
to make an impression on the heart of a young man of the
age of 23 ; and with a little ogling, and many sly looks pe-
culiar to the fair sex, got the young man enticed as far
as the Church door to be married. On arriving there,
and on a second consideration, he changed his mind, and
nothing whatever would persuade him to the contrary ; so
alas, poor old girl, she was obliged to turn round and re-
trace her steps, nearly heart broken, perhaps to be an old
maid all the days of her life.—Bull Observer.
FRENCrI EX-DYNASTIES —A letter from Go-
ritz' in the Augsburg Gazette states, that the Duke de
3
i ots has recently purchased the domain of Froschdor,
in the Archduchy of Austria, and which previously be-
longed to the Countess of Lipona. The Duke has also
purchased from the Countess Camerat, niece of the Em-
peror, the domain of Canala di Romena, '
which forms a
district of the circle of Goritz. The chateau is situated
four leagues from Goritz, on ;he left bank of the Isanxo,
and commands a view of the most picturesque part of the
valley. The inhabitants of Goritz expect that it will be
preferred by the Royal Family to that of Kirchberg. For
several years past the chateau of Canala di Romena had
been inhabited by members of the Napoleon family. In
closet of the Salon is the sword which Napoleonwore as
Consul, and his grey great coat, both objects having been
brought from St. Helena.
Captain Baldwin Wake w alker, of the Royal
Navy, who has recently been promoted by the Grand Sul-
tan to the rank of Rear- Admiral in the Turkish service,
is a Manxman, and brother to Mrs. John Duggan, of this
town. This excellent and highly meritorious young officer
has rapidly risen in the service of his country, and was late
in command of her Majesty's ship the Vanguard, 80 guns,
on the Malta station, and by application to the British Go-
vernment, was permitted to join the Turkish navy as In-
structor. General of British tactics. lie sails on board the
Mabmodie, the Capitan Pacha's own ship, and directs th
movements of the Turkish fleet. A few years since, for
his valuable services to the French Government at the re-
duction of the Morea Castle, he was appointed a Knight of
the Legion of Honour, and has been uniformly greatly be .
by, d by all his brother officers, especially at the Darda-
nelles —.lsle of Man Paper.
As the Carlisle mail was proceeding to Edin-
burgh, about four miles on the other side of Fushiebridge,
at Middleton Muir, the whole of the four horses leapt over
a wall protecting that part of the road from a precipice.
Fortunately the wall prevented the coach from going over,
or the consequences must have been awful, as there were a
number of paceengers. The horses were suspended by the
harness ; ',r,d as it wT as .ite impassible to pull them up,
the harness was cut, and they were allowed to drop ten or
twelve feet. The driver pushed on to Fushiebridge for
fresh horses. The mail was about two hours behind its
usual time,_ Scotsman.

THE LADY MAYORESS'S PARTY.

On Tuesday evening the Lady Mayoress gave a very
elegant entertainment in the Egyptian Hall, which was
decorated with flags and the usual trophies, and brilliantly
illuminated. The servants were ail dressed in their state
liveries. The company upon their arrival passed through
Wilks's Parlour, across the Saloon into the State Drawing-
room, where they were recived by the Lord Mayor and
Lady Mayoress. After having partaken of tea and coffee,
they were highly gratified with a lecture from Master Gustave
Adolphe Bassle, a boy not mote than twelve or thirteen
years of age, possessed of inconceivable powers of me-
mory, of which he gave proofs which astonished eve y
body. Papers were distributed amongst the numerous
company, containing 24,000 questions, from which they
were requested by the boy and his father to interrogate
him as rapidly as they could. To all the questions put
to him, he answered correctly to the figure or letter,
and without hesitation. Amongst those who most
closely examined him were the Lord Mayor, Dr.
Birkbeck, Dr. Conquest, Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Stacy
&c. He showed the order in which in the game of chess
the knight must move to pass over, in 64 moves, the 64
squares of the chess board, commencing, for example, at
No. 11, and made no slip in describing the exact position
of each figure. Hr. felt no hesitation in mentioning the
hebdomadal name of the first of January, from Christ to the
year 1582, the epoch of the Gregorian reformation of the
Calendar, and from 1582 to the year 2,400. He gave an
account of the comparison between certain velocities. He
detailed the specific gravities of elastic fluids, of liquids and
solids, as extracted from the " Annuaire Du Bureau des
Longitudes, a Paris." After having for upwards of an
hour kept up the astonishment of the company, he handed
round a paper, upon which they wrote down 45 different
figures, and immediately afterwards he repeated the whole
tmckwards and forwards with astonishing rapidity.
Amongst the answers which caused some merriment were
the following :—" On 872,564 marriages, in a certain
country, we count 2,361 husbands who have fled to escape
from their wives."

The father of tliis very extraordinary youth stated at
the conclusion of the lecture, or rather examination,
that it was his intention to publish a description and full
explanation of the system, which he declared would, if
properly attended to, speedily remedy the defects of the
memory. Subscriptions are now in progress of being
raised for the publication at half-a-guinea a copy. It was
stated by a lady who was present that the constituencies of
certiin parts of the empire would do well to supply their
representatives with this " antidote to oblivion," as a cure
for the forgetfulness with which they arc troubled after the
moment of election, but it was apprehended by most of
those who heard the observation, that the system would fail
in supplying that moral memory which treasures up the re-
collection of past obligations.
The doors of the Egyptian Hall were thrown open
when the boy terminated his wonderful performances, the
Quadrille Band struck up, and the company were introduced
to this very brilliant spectacle, and in a few minutes, by
the aid of Mr. Goldham, the Master of the Ceremonies,
who appeared in his full dress and sword, they were united
in couples, and discussing the poetry of motion, to the
great delight of all the young, and the calm approbation of
those whose limbs were invested with the slippered panta-
lo,,n, and who sat round the room calling to mind the days
when they could go and do likewise. At eleven o'clock
the doors of the Sapper Room were thrown open, and the
company were introduced to an abundant table of ices,
fruits, and confectionary of all kinds. The Venetian Par-
lour and Saloon, the State Drawing Room, the Morning
Rooms, and the Galleries were lighted up, as well as the
Egyptian Hall, and the whole entertainment was got up
in the most delightful manner imaginable.
On Friday next the Lady Mayoress will entertain a dis,
tinguished party on the River Thames. The State Barge
will be moored on that day, at ten o'clock in the morning,
at Putney, where the party will take water at eleven, and
from thence proceed up the river to dine at Pope's Villa.
