MONEY and COMMERCIAL .NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
By the arrival of the Lisbon Mail this morning, brought by
the Royal Tar Steamer, the intelligence is of more interest
than usually received.
In the Sitting of the 9th inst., one of the Deputies asked
the Minister of Foreign Affairs whether it was true that a
Commercial Treaty was on the point of being concluded with
England, the stipulations of which were highly prejudicial to
Portugal? His Excellency replied that some steps had been
taken by the Portuguese Government towards the formation
of a Treaty with England, which he hoped would be of much
advantage to this country, but that it was yet very far from
being concluded. The intelligence also states that the finan-
cial prospects are looking more gloomy than ever. For further
particulars we refer our readers to another part of the paper.
Extract of a letter from Dublin, Feb. 21, posted at the
North and South American Coffee-house :

" DUBLIN, FEB. 21, 1841.—1 am sorry to hear by this
dly's arrival that the Nottingham was pussed last night in tow
of another steamer, she having been run foul of. The
Birmingham reports that this morning at seven A.I. they
saw the wreck of a large ship about 16 miles west of the
Skerras, apparently split in two parts, the sides floating up, and
held together by the wreck. Cargo, of course, all out of her.
Captain Church went on board or her, and found two men
dead in the rigging, apparently not long so. Ile saved a trunk,
which I now have here. From the contents I should say the
vessel was bound to New York. This trunk contains amongst
many other things some testimonials of a gardener, named John
Ill'lntyre, who has been in the service of several noble Irish
families. There were some watches in the trunk, which, with
the rest of the contents, I will keep for the present. The
stern of the vessel was gone, and no name to be seen. It has
been admitted by the mate, on an examination to-day, that she
had no lights hoisted, and that the crew saw the steamer twenty
minutes before the vessel struck ; the time between their
striking and the sinking of the Governor Fenner did not ex-
ceed five minutes. The dreadful consequence, however, may
no doubt be referred to the circumstance of the Governor
Fenner carrying no lights, which has been admitted by the mate.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY, FEB. 22.—The
Sales to-day are 5,000 bags, of which. 300 American, are on
speculation. The market is more quiet than on Saturday,
but prices are very steady. Sales, 200 Peruvians, 9t093 ;
100 Bahias, 8* to 81 ; 200 Maranhams, 7 to ti*; 250 Egyp-
tians, 9* to 121 ; 100 Sea Islands, 18 to 24 ; and 700 Surats,
41 to 51 per lb.
No communication with the telegraph owing to the fog.
Marren Ewalt STOCK EXCHANGE, FEB. 22.—There has
been a fair inquiry for Shares to-day, but owing to the scarcity
of Stock few transactions have taken place : —Hull and Selby,
44 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 241 ; London and South
Western 58 ; North Midland, 74 to 75 ; Lancaster and Pres-
ton 321' to 324 Ditto New 20 to 20* ; Manchester and
Leeds 75 to 761 ; Ditto Halves 324 to 33.
Mauritius papers have been received at Bordeaux to
21st Nov., which state that island to be in a great agit
owing to an order from the Governor Sir Lionel Smith
all Frenchmen inhabiting the colony must prepare to leave it.
We are informed that the bills on Messrs. Morrison, drawn
by the United States Bank, have been duly accepted, and a
portion of them subsequently discounted by the Bank of
England.
_ .

By the last advices from Philadelphia there was great ap-
prehension that the above bills might not be honoured, which
had the erect thore of causing the late depression of the prices
in the shares of the United States Bank.
