MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

There is very little news worth communicating.
the Paris Journals of Monday. The Mexican an,
Swiss questions are well nigh exhausted ; and the
preparations for the new trial of General BROSSARD,
though interesting to French military readers, are of
no moment to the British public. We select such
extracts from them as possess any claims to novelty
and general interest : .
While the Government caused the Nereide frigate, the
Creole corvette, and the Cuirassier brig, to sail from Mexico,
a telegraphic despatch directed the maritime authorities at
Toulon to send, with the least possible delay, the Cyclope
and V stkain bombards, and Zebre brig, to the same destina-
tion. The two bombards have to-day taken their mortars on
board. The Favorite, corvette, not having. yet arrived, they
will take some artillery men from the Areresde on their arrival
at Vera Cruz, and those brought by the Favorite will be em-
barked on board the Vulcain and Eclair, which are fitting out
with the greatest expedition.
" The Government seems resolved to come to a conclusion
with Mexico.
" A second telegraphic despatch gives orders to get the
Triton, of the line, Captain Hamelin, immediately ready to
put to sea. The Jupiter is to return to port, and Admiral
Gallois, who has his flag on board that ship; will remove it tu
the Tritest.
" The Cyclope and Vulcain bombards, and the Zebra brig,
will be ready to sail before the cad of txst week."—Le Cog,_

CITY (Tl7lB DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have received Sydney Papers to the Ist May.
VAN DItMEN'S LAND.—We learn that Mr. Hopkins has
purchased one-third of the tobacco brought here by the
American ship Tyhe, on condition that no more should be sold
or landed in the colony.
The Moffat prison ship, which has arrived at Hobart Town,
brings despatches, we understand, from Lord Glenelg, con-
veying the very unsatisfactory information that emigration is
to cease to Van Diemen's Land ; but that transportation is to
be continued hither, upon an extended scale. An emigrant
ship laden for this: colony has been countermanded. We
suppose that South Wales is no longer to continue a penal
settlement.
Letters from Valparaiso, of the 30th May, state that the
blockade of Lima has been established; but, on the other side,
General Santa Cruz has officially notified to the Foreign Con -
suls that the enemy's ports will be blockaded on the 20th
August, which will be undertaken with the ships prepared at
Baltimore, on the 15th May. General Santa Cruz was at
Augnero. The commerce of Peru was prosperous, they were
going to expert a considerable quantity of wool and cotton ; a
ship laden with mercury had arrived at Arica, and it was gene-
rally expected that in the following six months that five mil-
lions of 'dollars, would be coined in the mint of Lima, Cusco,
and Potcsi. • .

exclaimed,) is nothing else, my friends, but liquid hell-Ere,
which was first compounded in the sulphuroui lal oratory c,f
the infernal regions ; and there invented by the n:cs diabo;i-
cal of all the chemists, the devil. Stick then, stack to wut, 1,
