MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Today prices were rather buoyant. The account
prices of Consols have been up to-day to 891 to 1. For
immediate transfer the quotations were 881. to R. Exche-
quer Bills brought 6s. to 82. premium, and India Bonds
ss. to 9;. discount, the improvement in this latter security
arising from good purchases made in it during the last
day or two. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
were steady at 978 to f. Money was in rather more re-
quest among the jobbers, in consequence of the settlement
in the foreign market, and was as high as 6 per cent. on
the deposit of stock.
The account in foreign Stocks was arranged to-day,
but notwithstanding the pressure among the jobbers, no

A West India Mail has arrived by the Crane ; sailed from
St. Thomas, March 4, Cape Henri, March 9.

By the above conveyance we have received Jamaica papers
to the 6th March. We stated that in the account which took
place in Spanish Town on Saturday night last, Mess: s.
Hill and Derbyshire were constrained to proceed to the bar-
racks for the purpose of procuring the aid of the military,
this was not, however, with a view of quelling any riot which
then existed, because at that time all acts of vio-
lence had for the moment ceased. When these gentle-
men proceeded to the barracks, they found Quarter-master
Harper there ready to convey any request they had
to make to Capt. Allen, the officer in command.
This last-named gentleman, shortly after made his appearance,
together with Lieutenant Murray. The officer of the day,
Mr. Hill, then informed Captain Allen that it had become ne-
cessary for the Magistrates to call upon him for the aid of the
military, in consequence of the mob having beat off the police,
and seriously injured many of them. Ten file of men were
speedily under arms: the military and the Magistrates then
pro, ended to the scene of disturbance, and the matter
terminated. The result was that sundry warrants were issued
against the par•ies suspected, and several additional special
constables sworn in, and the peace of the town placed in the
keeping of the legal force.
It was supposed a short time back that the commercial (is-
tress was at its height. There is every appearance, however,
of this being still on the increase. We learn of daily failures
to a great extent, and rumours of many more. The intelli-
gence recently received from Carthagena is not calculated to
Improve the state of things.
THE WEATHER.-The Liberal reports that a few showers
have fallen since the last notice, but the drought may still be
said to continue.

-----
The private letters received by her Majesty's ship Crocodile
from Santa Martha and CarthJgena represent those misguided
provinces, as well as the interior ones of New Grenada, as
being still in a most disordered and unsettled state.

By the arrival of the Breeze, from Turks Island, on Satur-
day la:t, we learn that a riot had taken place between the
African and the black natives at that place; but the quick in-
terference of the authorities trevcnted the loss of lives. The
ringleaders were captured and committed to prison.
Bermuda Royal Gazettes to the '26th ult. have been re-
ceived, which do not contain any intelligence.
A slaver with 280 slaves on board, was captured by her
Majesty's ship Cleopatra, while on her way from St. Thomas's
to Barbadoes and this island.

We have received Buenos Ayres papers to the 10th Ja-
nuary. The Gazette, of the Ist instant, was published on
four and a-half sheets of paper; it contained, besides the usual
monthly statements, the Government Message to the House of
Representatives on the opening of the Session; also a variety
of notes of congratulation to the Government from civil and
military authorities on the convention with France, and on the
victory obtained over Lavalle.

The papers to-day present a list of nearly 200 merchant ves-
sels in the port of Buenos Ayres, and we hope that none of them
wi I have to go away in ballast.
Treasury Bills in circulation on the Ist inst., $4,385,600.
In the Message on the opening of the Legislature of Buenos,
Ayres the estimate for the year 1841,is stated at $50,318,083,3*

It also states that the Government of her Britannic Majesty,
ever animated with a sincere spirit of friendship towards the
Republic, has lent its high, impartial, and good offices in the
late disagreements with France. co noble a proceeding is
worthy of the gratitude of the Republic. The illustrious
Minister of Great Britain, John Henry Mandeville, Esq., has
acquired indelible titles to the esteem of the Argentines.

The important intelligence published this morning in a
morning journal of sixteen broad pendants, six of which were
dou'ile-banked French frigates, at anchor at Martinique, has
not had at present any effect on the British Funds.
Consols opened this morning at the leaving off prices of yes-
terday, 84 89 for the Account ; ,Honey 884 4, with little
doing at present, owing to the speculators anxiously waiting the
arrival of the two steamers overdue from America. Exchequer

We have no tidings as yet of either of the steamers from
America, which causes much anxiety both to the commercial
cummunitg and the speculators in the funds.
The absence of intelligence from the United States still
causes a paucity in the operations of the British funds ; to the
present time there is not a feature in either of the Markets
worth 'attention. Console may be quoted a shade lower than
in the early part of the morning, 884 89 Account, ,honey 884 4.
Exchequer Bills rather better, 6 L premium ; India Bonds
5 9 discount.

This is settling day in the Foreign Market, which is going
off well, owing to the Account being of a very trifling descrip-
