MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MAI X ET, FRIDA V...—The demand this
week has fallen much short of last. Consequently the transac-
tions are less extensive, with a greater degree of unsteadiness
in prices of all kinds, save Egyptian and Sea Islands, the latter
being still inclined to improvement. In other American
descriptions•purchases are being made at d. per lb. under the
highest point, particularly for qualities ranging from fair down-
wards. Surats may be had at a similar decline, and Brazils at
about hd. under Friday's rates. Speculators have taken 3,000
bales of American, and 300 Surat. 630 Amer:ea, 9.0 Bahia,
andllso Surat have been forwarded into the:country this month
unsold. Though there is not much animation in the Market
there is more disposition to business at the decline noticed
above, and the sales to-day are about 4,500 bags of all kinds.

In consequence of a general impression that Ministers will

sixty thousand Consols, as well as a lot of Reduced, which had
the effect to damp the market.

A. SpEtits, ESQ., M.P.--We rejoice to state
that there is no truth in the report that Mr. Speirs died
at Leamington on Wednesday the 17th inst. According
to letters received within the last ten days, he was still at
Naples, but not in very good health. The paragraph
announcing 11,s death was communicated by a gentleman
on whose authority- we have generally implicit reliance.
BOROUGH C:l7 REIGA rE.—A Correspondent
ziforins us that. Dr. Bc4;rd, of Loudoun House, Brixton,

also heard that Mr. Watson, a barrister, is to start in the
Literal interest.

BAIL FOR AIR. VINCENT THE CHARTIST.--
Mr. Arthur Dyson, a bola •ller, and Mr. Cameron, a
brace and stockmaker, appeared again yesterday before
Mr :1141, at Bose-street police-court, to offer themselves as
sureties in the sum of 50/. each for the good behaviour for
the next three y errs of Mr. Vincent, the Chartist, at pre-
sent confined in Oakham gaol. Mr. Hall, the Magis-
trate admitted Mr. Grrneron's eligibility, but -.rejected
Mr. D; son on the ground of insufficiency. The Alagis-
t:rial rule is that no rent or taxes, &c. be due by parties
proposing to become sureties.
By the death of Lady \Vigram, a large accession
of fortune devolves to the present Baronet. who assumed
the name and bearings of Fitzwygram. The late Sir
Robert was Member for Wexford at the period of the
Union, and grandson of Margaret, sister of the first
Viscotutt Loftus.

Heywood was no precedent for their Lcrdships; they
were to judge of the facts which came before them, and it
was for them to say what punishment ought to be inflicted
on the defendant for the publication which bad been laid
7 J before them.

The COURT having consulted for some time together,
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE pronounced the judgment of
the Court, which was that the defendant be imprisoned in
the custody of the Marshal of the M4rshalsea for the space
of (our months.

SOUTHAMPTON.

A number of vessels from Cowes, Portsmouth, and the
casttrn ports, are proceeding to the westward, for the
mackerel season, which has commenced very early this
year. A quantity of fish have already been brought to this
port to be forwarded to town. This is another benefit our
railroad has brought us. The vessels last year ran to
Portsmouth, from whence the fish was conveyed in carts to
town, and we got the fish from thence ; now this town and
neighbourhood has the best and freshest supply, and they
are also obtained at a cheaper rate.
Isle of Wight lambs passed this way to town last season
for the first time. We have seen none en route 3 et, but
we hear they are very fine and plentiful, and that many
have been slaughtered in the island, weighing from 91bs. to
10lbs. per quarter. Turnips are very plentiful, but hay and
straw both scarce and dear ; the former 61. per ton, the lat-
ter 51. per load. The weather hs set in remarkably fine,

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—On Wednesday last a
duel took place in Ross-shire bEstwixt Duncan Davidson,
Esq., of Tulloch, and Hugh Ross, Esq., of Cromarty and
Glastullieb. The quarrel originated in the proceedings
of the county meeting lately held tit InvergordGn on the
subject of tie Prison Board. . After the usual prelimina-
ries, !..Ir. David Eon fired, as we arc informed, "somewhat
in the dir..,ction" of his opponent, and Mr. Ross discharged
his pistol in the air. The seconds now interfered, and the
principals having shaken hands, left the grow-al.—lnver-

A COLD BATH.-011 the morning of Sunday
the 10th instant, eight persons under went the ceremony of
baptism by immersion in the mill stream, near the iron ar,d
tin works of H. U. Dowoman, Eiq., Carmarthen. Of
the eight, six were females, and the whole most heroically
braved the plunge, with the thermometer at the freezing

point.
CHELSEA HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday a Special
Jury at the Court of Sewers gave a verdict in favour of tl‘e
Commissioners whose assersment was disputed by Chelsea
College upon three grounds—first, that it was not assess-
ble at all; secondly, that the Hospital drrived no benefit
from the sewers ; and, thirdly, if assessable, the assessment
had been made at much too high a rate.

tnillemuaY previous being the annivorEary of
.the Chil.i‘ane metleet I erected a beacon 25 feet high Oa In

height of Santa Anna, depositing underneath it a manu-
script parchment roll, descriptive of the particulars of each
vessel, length of passage, consumption of fuel, toge-
ther with several British colts of the present year. We
then hoist:d the Chilian ensign, and salutel it with three
cheers ; at sunset we lowered it, gave three cheers for the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company, and returned on board,
leaving the beacon a conspicuous seamark for the harbour,
and a firmly fixed monument, commemorative of the triumph
of steam in this part of the world.
The following morning, at daylight, we proceeded in
company through the remaining part of the Straits, the
waters of which were like a mirror, the sky without a
cloud, until we reached Cape Pillar, when, on entering
the Pacific, we experienced a heavy cross sea, and very
shortly afterwards a gale of wind from the N. N. W. That
night the Chili parted company ; the gale did not continue
more than 20 hours; the Peru proved herself an excellent
seaboat, end carried nothing away, although I was appre-
hensive of losing the platforms of the paddle-box houses
After three or four heavy northerly breezes, duriN one
of which I took shelter under the island of Santa Mario in
the Bay of Arauco, we arrived at Talcahuano on the 29th,
but the Chili did not make her appearance for a week
afterwards, which caused me the utmost anxiety and
uneasiness. Captain Glover having steered a cbfferent
course, fell in with very severe weather, which obliged him
to heave to under close-reefed maintopsails ; however, I
am happy to state that the Chili received no damage, and
in the course of a few days it afforded me the greatest gra-
tification to see both the steamers looking as smart, and in
every way as effective, as the day they left the river
Thames. Alter the engines were painted and were dry,
I got the steam up with the coal of the country, in order
to try it. The small quantity which we procured was
got from the foot of a precipice. It was inferior to
Welch coal, but we had no difficulty in keeping up the
steam as long as it lasted. I was informed that good coal
might be procured at a place named Colcura, on the coast.
about twelve leagues south of Conception ; and I
intended to have visited it with the Polish geologist,
M. Lololseky, in the service of the Chilian Government,
but, having met with an accident, I sent Dr. Weibourne,
who, in company with M. Lololscky and Mr. Cunning-
ham, the British Vice-Consul, proceeded to Colcura,
Laraquete, and Arauco for the purpose of examining the
coal formations in those vicinities; and I am happy to
state that their report establishes the fact of the existence
of coal suitable in every respect for steam navigation.
We left Talcahuano, in company, en the afternoon of
Wednesday the 14th, and in 25 hours (246 miles) arrived
off the port of Valparaiso, where we were met at the point
by a boat, with Mr. Scott on board, deputed by the Go-
vernor to convey a plan of the bay and shipping, and pro-
gramme of our proceedings, and a letter from Messrs.
Naylor, Biardmdu, and Cu., of which the following is a
copy :

" Valparaiso, October, 1840.
" Sir,—We beg leave to inform you, that his Excellency
the Governor of Valparaiso, being desirous that your en-
trance into this port should be as conspicuous as possible,
has cornmis,,ioned the bearer of this, Mr. E. S. Scott, to
wait upon you, and to request that you will be off and on
until a signal be hoisted at the lighthouse on the point;
whereupon a procession of two lines of boats, decked with
flags, will leave the harbour to receive and welcome you,
bitween which you may enter ; referring to Mr. Scott for
further particulars,
" We arc, Sir, your obedient servants,
" NAYLOR, BOARDMAN, and Co.
" Mr. George Peacock, Commander of the steamer Peru."
Attu waiting sonic time for the signal, during which I
hoisted the Chilian ensign, arid saluted it with twenty•one
guns, and performed various evolutions vvi!li both vessels,
Colonel Wood came on board, and we proceeded towards
the Mole, the Chili close in our wake, passing between
the British flagship President and Chilian flagship Chili,
the rigging of both ships being manned by their respective
crews, giving us three cheers and a royal salute from the
latter and the smaller ships of war, which was followed by
another royal salute from the batteries and guns sine nunwro
of all the merch:te-vessels who had the honour of sporting
powder. We then swept round within a few fathoms of the
mole-end, and passed between a line of boats, with
bands of music and decked with flags, lyir.g off the
beach of the Alrnendral ; thence threaded our way in and
cut of the different merchant vessels, which were orna-
mented with flags, receiving their cheers, and around the
sterns of the men-of--war; back again by another open-
ing, and anchoring off the mole-end, the shores and
every house and eminence from the point to the cod of
the Almendral being lined with spectators, who kept up
a continual cheering and waving of handkerchiefs; in
short, this reception far exceeded our m(st distant or
sanguine expectations, and I only regret that the worthy
projector of the enterprise, Mr. Wheelwright, was not
present to witness this gratifying display of enthusiasm ;
all the public offices were closed, shops shut, and business
suspended.
On Sunday his Excellency the Governor, Admiral
Ross, and other pub'ic functionaries, with their families,
honour us with a visit. I intend getting up the steam,
and giving them a turn round the bay, and, as we have not
had a salute from champagne for a long time, I do not
think we can have a better opportunity of so doing.
We brought up from Talcahuano five cabin passengers
at $2O a-head; one servant at $10; and a woman deck.-
passenger at $lO, with two children at $5 each.
The engines of both vessels arc in excellent order, and
the vessels themselves require only to be caulked to fit
them for immediate service, and this only partially, as the
cargo has turned out in good order arid condition.
