MONE V and COMMERCI AL NE SVS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed
with animation, and prices of all descriptions were very
stiffs The sales, including 1,500 Aniericen on specula-
tion and 800 for exportation, were estimated at 9.000 to
10,000 bales, viz., 7,000 to 8,000 Americen at 3i-1. to
51d.; 250 Pernam 4irl. to 54,1.; 200 Egyptian at 52d.
to 6(1.; 800 Surat 3d. to 38.5-d ; and 40 Sea Islande
Bd6 t° 10d. Railway Shares were much the same. at
The continental news received to day is not of promi-
nent interest, and, in its commercial tone, may generally
be regarded still as tending towards improvement.
In the accounts from the United Stites, per Europe,
"e have evidence of the favourable impression excited by
the intelligence received out from England, and we hear
that some
good orders have been received by the present
insll. The produce markets were in a favourable state,
and liberal exports will be made to Europe, in a manner
to ensure low prices, it may be hoped. The following
oaneneereial item deserves attention
; ",We understand that the Secretary of the Treasury
apollt to instruct the various collectors of the ens -
11? but that in all cases where they have reason te ue-
"eve that goods have been invoiced below their value,
with a view to defraud the revenue, the amount of duty
Chargeable by law shall be taken in kind. Teat is the
proportion of goods necessary to cover the duties shall
be taken for the duties, without regard to the value.
1,63, tiller course the temptation to import goods falsely
invoiced will be effectually done away with, and the
honest importer protected against the tricks of dishonest
!,?mPetitors. An old revenue law gives this power to
„lute Treasury Department, without the necessity of any
further legislation."
Advices from Venezuela, dated December 2, afford
2°1130 encouragement in respect to the settling down of
political affairs in that disturbed country. General
yaez's party at Carracas was increasing every day, ant
440nagas, since the capture of Maracaibo, was considered
be lost.
The Mexican accounts are not later from Vera Cruz,
(toe but the following from a New Orleans paper of the
21st alt., furnishes some disagreeable items of intel-
ligence which we may hope are overcharged:—
"Events in Tampico are hastening to a crisis. We
'earn from a passenger who arrived last night, in the
schooner John Roalitf, which left Tampico on the sth
Ult., that General Tenorio, with six hundred men and
5'X Pieces of artillery, was encamped at Old Tampico,
where he was awaiting the arrival of General Garriere,
who was daily expected, at the head of three hundred
men. Generals Tenorio and Garriere belong to the war
Party—the party which opposed the treaty of peace with
the United States—and, without the countenance of
the general Government they meditate taking possession
of the city and fort of Tampico. Pablo Castillo who
commands the National Guards of Tampico, has
hitherto, with his force, steadily resisted all
attempts to introduce troops into the city ; but it is
supposed that, by this time, Tenorio and Garriere
lare in possession of it, as Castillo and his associate
eader, Pepe Gonzales, have only five hundred men
the National Guard, and only one hundred and fifty of
them were armed, and they had no artillery, the can-
non they obtained some time ago by force from Mr.
Chase the United States Consul, having been
returned to him. The possession of Tampico by Te-
opo and Garriere will lead to events of exciting in-
te.est in that quarter."
Not the least change is to be noted in respect to the
general tone of feeling in the City; but the Funds have
receded a little on account of a few sales for transfer.
