MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

letters by the Horatio and Virginia, both arrived at Liver-
pool from New York ; also a Lisbon mail by the Royal
Aielaide, sailed from Gibraltar April 2, Cadiz April 3,

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKF,T, WEDNESDAY.-The sales
of this day arc 3,500 bales, at yesterday's prices.

rorn the American Papers received this morning to the

Marc.)
The whole commercial) affairsh of the United States arc
at a stand because the United States Bulk and the Girard
Bank will neither resume themselves nor allow others to
do so, The country was never in a better situation in
regard to its external commercial relations than
now, Foreign Exchanges indicate in all the ports,
with the exception of Baltimore and Philadelphia,
that the balance is in our favour. The importations
thus far have been scarcely larger than the exportations,
and an immense cotton crop, and other produce, remain
to settle for these goods, which will be imported for con-
sumption during the coming year. The low state of
Prices is a guarantee that the imports will be small, and
the exports large. There is, therefore, very little pros-
Peet of an external demand for specie for many months.
The domestic exchanges are in a most disordered con-
dition, in all the states within the influence of the sus-
pended banks. These comprise the producing and ins.
porting states ; while in New York and New England
the manufacturing and importing states, the banks all pay
specie, and exchange is at par. The whole business of
the country is at a stand-,till, although in all sections
there is a large stock of produce and merchandize.
In the Eastern States there is, Merchandize, .50,0005.
South—Cotton, Tobacco, &c., 30,0005.
In the West, produce of all kinds, 150,0005.
_ This vast amount is now lying perfectly dead, arid suf-
fering daily depreciation ; the labouring and manufacturing
classes entisely out of employment, and the merchants and
traders daily tailing—the currency at a point lower than
for
many years, and the specie-paying banks running
Within their shells, because the Philadelphia institutions
say they owe New York and Boston 4,600,0005., which
they cannot pay immediately.
Another batch of packet ships arrived on the 20th inst.,
they have all passed through bad weather, and most of
them erper: enced the same severe hurricane which lashed
the Britis!-: Queen so hard on the 13th and 14th inst.
There are now only two, the Independent and West-
minster, which are over due. They will arrive in a (by
or two. _

The intelligence received by the Lisbon mail this morn-
ing mostly relates to the returns of the elections; but
toe most important information is with respect to the p -
cuniary ciaims brought forward by Lord Palmerston on
behalf of some English subjects. It is stated that the
Portuguese Government will not pay these of Sir John
Dole and General Bacon ; that of the Duke o)
Wellington and Lord Beresford claims they will admit
to part.

We have received the Antwerp Journal of yesterday's
date.

Accounts from Pesth of the 31st March, state that fresh
troubles have broken out in several parts of the country in
the assemblies of the Comitats. In that of Szathmar
(Elungary) blood was shed.
BOURSE OF ANISTERDAM, APRIL 13.—The multiplicity
of business in the Integrales gave great firmness to the
