MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING.
Tho•advices by the Columbian steamer were anxiously
expected alt day, and most parties were indisposed to
enter into specuhtfvo operations in the Funds. Consols
for money realized 88 to 87i-, closing at 87k; and for
time they ranged from 88-1 to 88k, which were also the
latest prices of the day, Exchequer Bills brought I Is.
to Bs. rem.; India Bonds 20 ; the New Three-and.
a. Hall per Cents. 96/ to 961; and South St a. Stock
95,i. The business done altoge,her was upon a most tr.-
vial scale.

The confirmation of the news of M. Gamboa's resigna-
din had a very unfavourable effect upon Spanish Stock,
and produced a fall of per cent. The Deferred Binds
were t.t 111 to 12, and the Active at 231 to 221. Tee
difficulties encountered by the late Finance Mi..isier were,
it would seen?, too great for his health, or his inclination,
perhaps both, to contend against, and it remains to to
seen whether his succe4sor will get on with that
which Gamboa Lal well b:gun. Portuguese Bonds
were not favourably influenced by the accounts cf
the Bth instant, for although the diviread it
seems has btea scrap' togctm:r, the miserably 1)w con-
dition to which the treasury is reduced, rondo-4 it ex-
tremely doubtful wh, ther this may not be the Alpha and
Omega for some time to come. For the sake of tLe poor
bondholders we hope we may be deceived. The New Five
per Cents. were at 301 to and the Three per Cents.
at 181. Colombian Stock was dull at 221 ; Mexican, at
271 ; Buenos Ayres, at 211 ; Brazilian, at 701 to 711 ;
Freu.:h Five ime Cents. at 111 f. 25c., and the .Ditch
Five rer Cents. at 99,i to 1.
The Share Market was duel, but pfc:s were suppot tcd.
Great Western Railway were 22 ; the New, 11 ; the
Fifths, 51 ; the Birmingham, 54, ex New shares ;
and the S•luth Western, 01 prem. ; 13riglitin Shares
were 71 disc.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Lisbon mail has arrived, brought by the Iberia steamer,
which sailed from Lisbon on the Bth of march. The inteii-
gence Ly the above conveyance states, that the instalment
due on the Ist inst., on account of the claims of the Duke
of Wellington, Lord Berzsford, and others,_ was paid with
punctuality to the amount of 160 contos. It also appears that
the Government had raised a loan of 500 contos for the bank
on the mortgage of some banker of the revenue, for next
April, for the express purpose of meeting the payment of the
dividends on the foreign debt in London.—(This is most wel-
come intelligence for the bondholders.) We refer our readers
for further particulars to another part of our paper.
The Hamburg mail has arrived of the 9th March, bringing
the papers of the same date, Exchange London 13 31; Gold
425, Metals, 10.11, Bank Actions, 1610. _

LIVERPOOL COTTON MA ItNNT, 111AaCH 13. —There con-
tinues to be a good demand for cotton. The tales this day
amount to nearly 7,00 u bales, 2.500 of which have been by
speculators. Prices are firm, and remain at yesterday's quo-
tations.

We have received the Antwerp Papers of yesterday's date.
BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MARTH 12.—The affairs in the
national funds were very limited to-day, and the prices but
little varied. There prevails an incertitude among the specu-
lators, owing to the getting-up of the funds in London,• para-
lyzed by the fall in Paris. The Bourse remained undecided :
they are waiting for further intelligence on the event of affairs.
In the Foreign Funds there is nothing of consequence. Ar-
doin's Spanish remains at 21i ; Coupons, 21 3-16.
The British funds opened this morning at the same quota-
tions as they left off on Saturday, 8S to for the Account ;
Money, 87i to BS, with scarce anything doing as yet. Ths
speculators arc waiting for the arrival of the Colombia steamer
from Hal:fax with ti:e intelligence from New York which is
expected to be of some importance. Exchequer Bills, 9 12
prem. ; Bank Stock shut, India Stock also.

We have very few arrivals to the present time, and those re- '
ceived by ship letters are of an old date, consequently we are
dull in the City.
Consols at present are a shade lower than in the early part
of the morning, when they were 88? i for the Account ; swim
which may be quoted at 88k ; Money, 873, have been 83,
with very little doing. Exchequer Bills, 109 11 I rem. ; Bank
Stock shut; India Bonds. 20 die.
In the Foreign Market,- Spanish Active is also lower, have
been 23k, at present 23; Deferred, 117 g ; Portuguese also not
so gocd as in the morning, 3011.; Danish, 774 ; Dutch Two-

been 99g.
In Shares scarcely anything doing. South Western, 56.;

This is settling day in the Foreign Market, the brokers and
jobbers arc chiefly employed in paying and receiving their va-
rious balances. Up to the present hour we do not hear of any
mischief having occurred.
A report prevails that the Colombia is off Liverpool, but as

yet it requires confirmation.

SUICIDE OF A TAX-COLLECTOR.—On Sun-
day afternoon the body of an elderly man in mourning was
taken out of the New River, at Hornsey, and it was pre-
sently ascertained that the deceased was Mr. Matthew a
who had been known many years as a tradesman carrying
on the business of an oil and colourman in the Kingsland-
road. He had not long since, however, relinquished that
business, and retired to live at Dalston, where he buried his
wife about a fortnight ago, since which he has been in a
dejected state of mind, in consequence of his recent be-
reaven cot and pecuniary difficulties. He was a collector
of land tax, and had of late been repeatedly called upon in
vein for a settlement of accounts, which be evaded from time
to time, and it is feared that a serious defalcation will be
discovered. He had been missing since last Wednesday,
and was last seen on that day hovering about the ricer at
Hornsey.
WARWICK STEEPLE RACES.—High expecta-
tions have been raised, and we have no doubt will be gr--
tified to the fullest extent, by the announcement of not
only one capital steeple race here, on Friday next, but
another on the same day, and over the tame ground, by
farmers' and traders' horses, the Race Committee having
very liberally offered 20/. in addition to the subscription
arising from the entries. Ti is double attraction a ii, no
doubt, bring to the fied a large concourse of spew:vole,
who will hav, a' excellelA view of the running, as she rher
