In the Share Marl;Gt the advatlcz of yesterday has
not been sustained ; and on Midlands a decline of 103.
may be quoted. In London and North-Westerns and
Great Westerns there have been no transactions to
report.
The Grain Market continues in precisely the same
position as on Tuesday's market day. The attendance
of the trade was, however, small.
The weather continues still wet and cold, and the
winds which have during the last week prevailed, and
still prevail, are extremely boisterous.
The receipt of the American accounts by the
French steam-ship Missouri, vid Cherbourg, is now
awaited with great interest. Anticipations had been
indulged that they would positively arrive in Liver-
pool by the morning journals ; but probably before
their receipt we may now possess as late accounts
direct from Boston.

From South America we have received later ad-
vices, this morning, via the British Channel. Ex-
change at Monte Video continued low; the quotation
being 41d. ; and at Rio 27 to 27k. From Rio we
learn the refusal of the Brazilian Ministers to enter
into a negotiation for the formation of a commercial
treaty with this country. The accounts are otherwise
unimportant.

The following interesting correspondence, which
had recently passed between an eminent mercantile
house in Monte Video and Sir Thomas Herbert, and
which conveys the general feeling of the British
community in the beleaguered town, has been handed
to us:--

" Monte Video, Aug. 28, 1847.
" Sir,—After so many years of disaster and anxiety,
we bad indulged in the hope that our troubles would
soon have terminated, either by the joint efforts of
Lord Howden and Count Walewski, or by mutual
concessions of the contending parties; but with the
late change of the last Ministers, Barreiro and
Pereira, all our hopes of a speedy peace have vanished;
and as respects Count Walewski, it would appear
that he is determined upon the destruction of every-
thing honourable or valuable that is connected with
this country, doubtless with a view of its finally
becoming an easy prize to his countrymen under the
soj long talked-of French protectorate. It is well
known that he publicly assured parties here that the
French Government will send out troops to
support their views ; and as these parties have
taken forcible possession of three-fourths of the
property, both public and private, and are also
contractors for the receipts of the Custom-house,
Stamp-office, and Post-office, in Monte Video,
they will doubtless endeavour to sustain the present
state of things for ever if possible, and thus to con-
tinue the destruction of life and property, which
during the last five years has been to an extent
scarcely to be believed in a new country like this. If
you will take the trouble to peruse some of the ac-
companying documents you will be convinced that
our own losses and disasters have been almost in-
sufferable, but happily Lord Howden has regained for
us our neutrality, and we are now recovering our
standing with the native population, which has been
so foolishly and unjustly hazarded.
" You will also please to observe that we have had in
our own employ, during the whole of the present con-
test, a number of Englishmen and British subjects,
as managers and servants on our estates in this coun-
try, and you will easily conceive how immensely
their situation and security were embittered by the
English forces stationed here becoming parties in the
war, and how greatly they, as well as ourselves, must
be relieved by any measure that regains for us our
former neutral position, and the goodwill of the native
population.

"In the name, therefore, of the whole of our people
—in our own name—and also in the name of our
constituents in Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Notting-
hamshire, also in Staffordshire, we beg you to convey
to his Excellency Lord Howden our most sincere
and grateful acknowledgments for having caused all
hostilities and intervention in the River Plate to cease
on the part of the British forces and authorities, there-
by rendering our property and persons incomparably
more secure in these countries.
" To 3.ourself also, Sir Thomas, our thanks, and
the thanks of all honest and peaceable men, are more
than due for your indefatigable endeavours to pro-
mote peace and goodwill between the contending
parties ; and with all our misfortunes it is some con-
solation to see brave men like yourself' and the
officers of your squadron laying aside for a time your
fighting propensities, and emulating each other in
your endeavours to conciliate and restore peace to a
country and people who have generally treated Eng-
lishmen with kindness and respect, and not a few of
them much more so from a long residence and mer-
cantile and rural career amongst them of 32 years'
duration.--Sir, your most obedient servants,
"JOHN JACKSON and CO.
" To Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8."

" Her Majesty's ship Raleigh, Monte Video,
Aug. 31.
" Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter, dated 28th inst., together
with its enclosures, in which you make some observa-
tions on the past and present state of public affairs in
the republic of Uruguay, and set forth the losses and
disasters which you have suffered, in conjunction
with others, by the protracted interruption of trade
and business; and in which you are pleased to ex-
press your satisfaction with the course adopted by his
Excellency Lord Howden in withdrawing her Ma-
jesty's forces from all intervention in these waters,
and also to convey your thanks to his Lordship and
myself for our efforts to promote peace and goodwill
between the contending parties ; I beg leave to in-
form you that I shall have great pleasure in trans-
mitting to Lord llovvden a copy of .your letter,
which I am sure will be highly gratifying to him ;
and I request you will receive, on my part, my sin-
cere thanks for the flattering manner in which you
have been kind enough to view my humble exertions
to reconcile the opposing and conflicting opinions
which unhappily prevail in this republic. I can
assure you, gentlemen, that I have made it my sole
object, since I entered the Rio de la Plata, to use my
utmost endeavours to obtain the pacification cf the
affairs here, or at least to subdue and mitigate the
animosity which characterises this struggle, and
which is the greatest bar to its

LiVBiIPOOL, I2.—Theye is no peeullar teßtuva
to note in the transactions of the day. The usual
Nye ly commercial reports, issued this morning, ex-
hibit the improvement, though the change is in itself
of no great amount.
The suspension of a share-broking firm was an-
nounced to• day. The house had long occupied a
leading position on the Stock Exchange, but their
engagements, which have been of late circumscribed,
are comparatively small. The suspension is stated to
be the result of losSes arising from defalcations of
business connexions and the pressure in the money
market.

In the Cotton Market the sales have amounted to
4,000 bales, at steady prices ; .500 bales sold for ex-
port. The total sales of the week were 96400 bales.
The General Brokers' Circular says—
" In the early part of the week there•7was an in-
creased demand from the trade, as well as from ex-
porters, and an advance of to id. wai realised on
American descriptions ; but this improvement has
not been maintained, and prices have since been more
irregular. The market has clesed' with a better feel-
ing to-day, and prices are rather more in favour of
holders than at the close of la :it week, though little
change is made in the quotations. Brazils have been
offered fri.ely, and are 1-d. lov.-cr. Surat without
change. Spcidators have taken 1;850 American,
and exporters 4,150 American and 450 Surat and
Madras."
