MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TIVIELVE O'CLOCK.

We have received the Hamburg mail of the sth June,
bringing the Exchange on London, 13 64; gold, 431 ;
metalliques, 108 ; Bank Shares, 1,865. The above mail has
brought despatches from St. Petersburg. The Empress
of Russia had arrived at Berlin on Wednesday afternoon,
to see her father the King of Prussia, who was still alive.
Commercial affairs were in a dull state.

Arrivals this morning—two French, two Ostend, one
Dutch, one Hamburg mail. Ship letters from Pernam-
buco, Rio Janeiro, St. John, Monte Video, Philadelphia,
Canton, and Bahia. Also, a mail from Lisbon, by the
Tagus, sailed on the Ist June ; from Gibraltar, 28th May ;
Cadiz, 29th May ; Oporto, 2d June ; and Vigo, 3d June.
The intelligence by the Lisbon mail states that it was
generally understood that the new Opposition would not
open their campaign until the result of Saldanha's mis-
sion to London, respecting the claims recently presented
by Lord Palmerston, shall be known. The report
of the Finance Minister was anxiously looked for
by the public to know what contrivance is to be resorted to
for the payment of the British claims, as well as for cover-
ing the defect which, without including the interest on the
foreign debt, amounts for the year ending the 30th inst.,
to no less sum than then-1,400 contos, or about 300,000
pounds sterling. It was stated that they will propose new
taxes. Several guerilla parties have again shown them-
selves, and the order fur recalling the troops from Algarve
has been rescinded.

We have received the Journal of Commerce of Ant-
werp of yesterday's date.
130I`ESE OF AMSTERDAM, JUNE s.—The transactions in
the national funds were not of importance this day, but
they maintained the prices of yesterday in the actions of
:he Society of Commerce ; there were buyers at the highest
prices. The taking of Morella by the Christinos, which
caused the rise of Spanish at Antwerp, had the effect
to improve Ardoios here, which remained after the Bourse
at 26 1-16th, previous to which they were 26y, but parties
realizing, they left off at 26k.
