MONEY AND COllll. ERCTAL N E WS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
No Liverpool Cotton Market on Monday. We have not
as yet received that of Tuesday.

The Arrivals this morning are the French mail, and
ship letters from St. Vincent, Valpariso, Demerara, and
Nassau.

Accounts received from Pernambuco to the sth of April,
report, that Sugars continue to come in abundantly, but
holders of cases are demanding I§oo above ferro, costing
on board for high quality White, 225. lOd. sterling, for
1121b3. We do not think there will be any necessity for
submitting to more, and expect soon to see them freely
offered at 700 rs. above term. White Sugars have ad-
vare•rd, costing on board 54d per lb. This price will pro-
bably decline in a f..!ve weeks, as the rise is owing to the
high prices in Rio Janeiro and Maranham. There is a
great vantity still to come forward from the country.

Accounts have been received via United States, stating
that the Portuguese at Macao, had sent guns and men to
aid the Chinese in defending the fcrts at the Bogue
against the British ships, and the conequence will be
in all probability, a bombardment of Macao by the Eng-
lish squadron. In addition to the forts at the Begun.
the Chinese have placed a strong raft, well secured by
heavy chains across the stream, on this a large force of
men are placed, and vessels are permitted to pass through
an opening which is made for them by letting one or
more of the rafts swing with the tide.

The accounts from Canton, of the 12th January, state
that the market for tea had not as yet been fairly opened
Tee tea men were very stiff in their ideas, and it was prc-
bable the market would open high. Good sound
Young Llyson 30 to 32 tales; Congou, 22 to 24 cents.
Some purchases were made, fur the English market, of
Twankay tea at 24 tales. witig to the tgoppagc of the
importati,:n of British property from India and Great
Britain, bills have fallen off.

WELLS, SOILIERSET.—A numerous and highly
respec' able party of gentlemen dined together at the Mitre
Inn, ott Monday last, in honour of her Al jesty's birth day. A
most excellent dinner and choice wines were served up by Mr.
Boyce, with his usual liberality and attention. Many loyal and
appropriate toasts were drank, and the utmost conviviality
prevailed.
Lablache, who is a native of Naples, though his
father was a Frenchman, and his mother came from Ireland,
appeared first on the Italian stage as Salerno, where his salary
amounted to fifteen ducats a month, or Is. Bd. per day. La-
blache had the honour of giving her Majesty the Queen lessons
in Italian singing previous to her marriage.
A RIVAL TO FATHER MATHEW.—UnIess
the Chancellor of the Exchequer can manage to interdict the
Rev. R. G. Mason from preaching teetotalism, we fear he will
derive but a scanty revenue in Aberdeenshire from his new fax
on spirits. Judging from the number and character of com-
munications which have reached us within the last few weeks,
it would appear that a moral revolution is going forward, se-
cond only in extent and importance to the teetotal movement in
Ireland. As a specimen of what has been done in Buchan,
we may mention that, in the town of Fraserburgh, which con-
tains a population of little more than two thousand, nearly
seven hundredhave become teetotallers ! This society includes
many of the influential inhabitants of the place; and no fewer
than seven vessels belonging to the port sail on the total-absti-
nence principle ! In the neighbouring fishing villages there
is scarcely a man who has not joined the movement; and
nearly the same may be said of the adjoining rural districts.
In these circumstances, the mot al and physical condition of
the people, especially of the working-classes, have been
amazingly improved. This satisfactory change has been
brought about through the instrumen.ty of the Rev. R.
G. Mason, whose labours have bee.rduous and faithful
beyond calculation. In the course of the last two months,
this devoted philanthropist has travelled over a district of
country—mostly on foot—containing an area of upwards of
a thousand miles—has visited forty different places, preached
fifty sermons, and delivered eighty teetotal lectures I At
Whitehills, Fraserburgh, and Peterhead. he was enter-
tained at large and influential soirees got up in honour of
his exertions, and presented with substantial marks of the
people's gratitude. He is now in Aberdeen, making ar-
rangements for forming a Northern Union, the leading object
of which is to concentrate the influence of the various local
societies, and thereby attach a common interest to all that tends
to advance the object they have in view. In this way it is cal-
culated that they will be able to issue a uionthly publication,
containing a full and authentic record of all the proceedings in
the north, and such original articles as will be found of generaltre interest and usefulness. Whatever difference of opainni_oa
.7.. y
may be: in regard to the teetotal principle, the zetalif ,tclheyetwl
of its advocates are worthy of all praise.
