creations of the Great GOD, and people the globe not
with creatures liable to sin, not with French, or Rus-
sians, or Italians, or Americans, or Anglo-Saxons,
but with Angels. Non Ang li sed Angell. A witty
essayist may undertake, in a spirit of jocoseness, to
disprove the accuracy of old adages, as was done
so merrily by our immortal " Elia." But Mr. COB-
DEN will find it rather tough Rork to attempt any-
thing of the kind with the heavy weapon of political
argument. The scimitar of SALADIN was required
to sever the gauze veil. The broadsword of Coeur de
Lion was effectual only upon some obstacle more
massive. So will it be with the present adventure of
the Peace Society. Si vis pacem, para bellum, will
survive all their attacks. Let them remember,
moreover, the fate which attended the venerable
'Leader of the Pickwickians, when he endeavoured to
illustrate the advantages, first of arbitration, and
then of mediation—his philanthropic interposition
between Mr. POTTS and his antagonist being re-
compensed on the one hand by flagellation with
a kitchen shovel, and on the other with
the descent of a carpet-bag on his " organ of
benevolence," the said carpet-bag being rather un-
pleasantly stuffed with a very hard hair- brush in one
corner. So much we fear awaits all those simple-
hearted gentlemen who revel in the practicability of
Arbitration. The members of the, Peace Society
had better " look out" for the movements of the
carpet-bag and the shovel, especially if they intend
to hold their next congress at Paris!

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was
steady and closed firmly, but without animation. The
sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 5,000
American at 3id. to 61d., 1,100 Pernams, &c. at 41d. to
5d., and 300 burets at 31d. to 310.. per lb. Railway
shares were rather better.
In the Corn Market there has been no alteration of
moment.
Accounts from Belgium represent the grain crops as
presenting a most luxuriant appearance. The rye was
strong and full, the wheat thick and rigorous, and ap-
parently of excellent flavour, owing to the night dews
and the dry days. The potatoes also are well sp ken ot,
and this, with the large supplies of corn on hand, in-
duces the opinion that prices will be much lower for
corn before the next harvest. The quantity to be ob-
tained from St. Petersburgh, Odessa, New York, &c., is
considerable.
The Amstt4dam market was firm on Monday for
Dutch Securities, bus Mexican and Peruvian were
lower. Aeßerlin, on the 9,h, there was no variation
generally. The market was good. The Frankfort
Bourse on the 9th was steady. The Five per Cent.
Austrian bonds were at 73.
The letters per Canada steamer were delivered yester-
day afternoon, :end confirm generally the outline given
under this head. Trade was in some respects rather dull,
but this may be a pause after the large imports to meet
the anticipated Californian demand. At the latest date.
however, the imports were much smaller than at the
corresponding period of last year, or indeed of any period
for the last three years. That the wants of Calitornia
will be great we have not the slightest doubt, and it is
equally certain that there will, in the course of a few
mouths, be much prompter means of sending remittances
in return, the chief drawback hitherto, and the cause ot
that pressure in the American Money Market which has
subsided only upon the arrival of bullion from England.
There is a great deal said about the Cotton crop in the
States, but the conclusion we come to -after a perusal of
the various ace-tints is, that although it may be a week
or two behind hand, there is no fear of the yield not being
adequate to the consumption of Europe.
Trade in Canada ruled very dull.
The accounts from New Grenada are more favourable,
and great anticipations were formed of the result of the
administration of the new Governor, General Lopez.
Venezuela, on the contrary, seems to be retrogra6ing.
There is reason to hope that the civil war in St. Do-
mingo will now be early brought to a close, President
Solouque having sustained a signal defeat. The Port-
au-Prince market was necessarily very dull.
The Severn had arrived at Mobile from Vera Cruz
and brought advises from the city of Mexico to the 14th
May. The ministerial crisis in the city of
Mexico, has passed. After the refusal of Senor
Munos Ledo, it was proposed to confide the
portfolio of Foreign Affeirs to M. Larrainzar, but having
met opponents in the body of the Cabinet, it was aban-
doned. The choice was then fixed on Senor Penny
I'eua ; but having been numbered among the traitors of
his country in favouring peace, his confirmation
was refused by the Chamoer of Deputies by a
vote ot 38 to 35. The Deputy Don Jose Marin
Lacuuzs was then proposed, and his nomination to
the portfolio of Foreign Affeirs was confirmed by the
Chamber of Deputies, thus completing the Cabinet. M.
Arrangoiz had submitted a plan for liquidating the
national debt, which amounts to dollars 138,000,030.
In the neighbourhood of Jalapa new mines had been
discovered which were about to be worked. The Mexi-
can Boundary Commissioners acre expected to occupy
about twelve months in their labours.
The effect of the settlement is not yet over in the
Stock Market, but as the Bears have nearly brought
their accounts to a close, the quotations are left with-
out artifiefil support. Consols have been 92i to 921,
with the dividend and fur money. Bargains for the
opening have been made at gut to 9(1 ex div. Bank
St ck has touched 1941 to 195. Excnequer-bills are
455. to 48s. premium ; and India Bonds 68,. to 71s.
The New Three-and-a-quarter per Cents. have been
91i to 91i. The prospect of the Stick Market atipeur
to be good, and the ultra-R.publicaus at Paris are
not expected to gain the ascendancy, while there is an
impression that when the French succeed in entering
It. me, which eventually they are fully exp, cted to be
able to do, they will show that the satisfaction of their

amour propre -was the chief point aimed at, and that
having yin icated their military honour, they may be
di.•posed to be very liberal, and leave the Romans to act
freely in e4tabbshing a new form of government. This,
white keeping the Austrians in check, would have a very
good eff,ct generally.
The arrangements for adjusting the Foreign account
are in progress today, the settlement taking place to-
morrow, Spanish Five per Cent. Stuck has been 165 to
16k, and the Three per Cent. 334 to 334. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been 27i. Dutca Two and-a-
Halt per Cents. have touched 5u5. Mexican Bonds are
295 /. with the Coupons. Grenada 16 to 4, and Bra-
-78. Peruvian Four per Cents. are 51 to 525.
The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have
received a letter dated Mexico, May 12, from Mr. W. P.
RJoer tson, who states that the negotiations at e proceeding
favourably for the appropriation of a portion of the
American indemnity money, to the part payment of the
overdue dividends, accompanied by an arrangement for
the payment of a graduated interest on the principal sum
due by Mexico to be hereafter agreed on, and Mr.
Robertson speaks highly of Senor Arm:gods.
Railway Shares generally are firm today, and in
some cases higher. Midland, North-Western, and the
Y►:rk lines are an exception, but Great Western, Brigh-
ton, and Eastern Counties are buoyant.
