of the court. This letter was immediately sent to
Mae Chancellor."

At t elve o'clock on We dnesealy thc cr3nmony of
presenting cardinal's hats to the Archbishops of
CAMBRAI and BOURGES, who were recently raised
to that dignity, took place at the Tuileries.
Accounts have been received from the island of
Bourbon, which stated that new attempts had been
made at Madagascar to renew commercial relations
with Tamatave, but the Hovas persisted in excluding
from the country all foreigners, without distinction.
The English brig Arne, after having passed a month
at Tamatave in making solicitations, had obtainedper-
mission to disembark part of its cargo, i,n conditinn
that it would take nothing from Madagascar. The
concession subsequently appeared dangerous to the
Government, and after the departure of the Arzac it
interdicted all kinds of intercourse under penalties so
severe that the packet-boat Bordelais, which arrived
at Tamatave in January last, could not even succeed
in disembarking a little box of medicines. The po-
pulations are represented to be afflicted at being thus
deprived of the resources of European commerce.
The village formerly occupied by the Euro-
peans at Tamatave has been burned down, with
the exception of the house of a Frenchman, on which
a trio-colour flag had been placed. On several points
of the coast fortifications have been established.
RADZACFIDY, formerly Governor of Tamatave, re-
mained in prison under the sentence which con-
demned him to death, for having disobeyed the orders
of the QUEEN, but it was believed that he would con-

trive to escape.
The price of corn and flour in the Paris market
continues to decline. The holders find it difficult to
procure purchasers for any but the best quality, and
then only at very reduced prices.
Although foreseen, the actual application by Go-
vernment for authority to contract a loan, caused a
very considerable depreciation of prices on the Paris
Bourse on Thursday.
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on
Thursday at 77f. 65c. ; the Five per Cents. at 118 f. 30c. ;
the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,262 f. 50f.; Rouen, 952 f. 50c.;
Havre, 637 f. 50c. ; Avignon, 647 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 587 f. 50c. ;

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
4,000 bales, including a few hundred bales on specula-
tion. The market closed heavily. Shares were dull,
and prices were declining, the business done being
small.
The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs.
Lamond and Co., was better attended, but prices were
flat, owing to the depression at present existing in our
market, which has a downward tendency. We notice
by Messrs. Lamond and Co's advertisement, that these
sales are to take place every Wednesday for the future,
instead of Tuesdays and Fridays as hitherto. We sub-
join a few of the principal sales:—

The Bank averages, as made up for the week to the
3d inst., give the following results:—
Notes issued
Decrease

Rest, increase 25,478
Public deposits, decrease
Other deposits, increase
7 day and other bills, increase
Government securities, increase 99,169
Other secaritics, increase
Notes reserved, decrease
Bullion .

Active circulation
Increase
It may be noted that the Bank has had an increased
demand upon it lately, as usual prior to the closing of
the transfer books, for discount accommodation and
short loans on stock, &c., while the official payments
have begun to tell upon the public deposits. The secu-
rities will afford an index to the increased business of
the Bank, as well as the greater amount of notes em-
ployed.
The slight advance in the Corn Market yesterday,
added to the French loan, have had some effect upon
the Money Market, although there is, perhaps, not any
particular cause for apprehension. The exchanges upon
the Continental cities are certainly declining, but as
yet the specie going out is nearly counterbalanced by
the imports from South America and other quarters,
and it is still a matter of doubt whether a large amount
will be required fur the United States. At Hamburgh,
last Tuesday, the rate of exchange on London was
13.51, and the price of gold 432.
As to the probable supplies of grain, we:have to-day
renewed assurances from St. Petersburgh of the ability
to let us have all we require. Indeed there is a present
supply of 2,700,000 tachetworts unordered and available
for foreign wants.
The English Securities have been much depressed to.
day. Consols have been 88i i for Money and Account.
Exchequer-bills are 15s. to list premium. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 9015,- 'i, and
the Three per Cents. 88'34 to 89.
Spanish Three per Cents. are 324; Portuguese Three
per Cents., 34; and Brazilian, 84 ; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. are 57i i.
Shares are lower.
The effect of the prohibition to pay interest on calls
has already appeared in an announcement from the Cale-
donian Company, of their intention not to pay the 4i
per cent. which their shareholders have been calculating
upon since October last. The Government resolutions
will also afford that company, and, no doubt, many
others, the opportunity of getting quit of altering recent
obligations, seeing it is now compulsory that no amalga-
mation of leasing can take place until one of the parties
to it is completed and opened for traffic. Scottish Cen-
tral holders would do well to look to their own interests
at the special meeting on the 20th current.
