REVIEW of the MONEY-MARKET
DURING THE MONTH OF MAY, 1848.
(From the Bankers' Magazine.)
The general aspect of monetary affairs during the past
month has been of a satisfactory character. Notwith-
standing the extraordinary events which have followed
each other with such rapidity on the Continent, the
Funds have undergone a gradual improvement, and, to-
wards the close of the month, have rejhed a higher
price than they have attained to since the breaking out
of the French Revolution. The French Funds niso
appear to have overcome the panic which naturally de.
pressed them on the overthrow of the old regime, and
they also are higher than they hare been at any time
since February.
Although these decisive indications of greater confi-
dence has been very apparent, it is well known to all our
readers that the political events of the past mouth have
been altogether more exciting than any that have oc-
curred since the great event which deprived Louis
Philippe of his throne. The Emperor of Austria has
fled from (and returned to) his capital ; the Pope has
been virtually deposed ; the King of Naples has mas-
sacred his people, in order to retain his authority ; and
a counter revolution has been commenced, carried out,
and temporarily put down in Paris—all within the space
of a month. We need not refer to the extensive pre-
paration made in this country, although apparently not
generally understood and appreciated, for organising a
League" against the present system of government,
which before long will doubtless unseat the existing Mi-
nistry. All these important events have occurred, and
and yet the public funds have improved, and within the
last week of the month have reached a higher price
than they had attained since the revolution. Under
other circumstances, any of the occurrences we have
named would have produced a serious fall in the funds ;
but our capitalists now appear to have become so much
habituated to the excitement of political events that they
are unaffected by circumstances which a few months
since would have been regarded with the utmost con-
sternation.
The steady improvement in the funds may be in part
accounted for by the well-known fact, that many exten-
sive sales were made in anticipation of a fall in prices;
and the jobbers are purchasing at present rates in pre-
ference to risking the serious loss they must sustain, if
the quotations continued to advance, and they were left
without stock on hand with which to fulfil their engage-
ments.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has taken advantage
of the existing state of the money market, to announce
that the Exchequer-bills to be issued in June will bear
the reduced rate of interest of 2d. per cent. per diem, in
place of the present rate of 3d.
The improvement which has taken place in Consols
during the past month, will be seen from the following
comparison of the closing prices at the dates specified:—
At 26th April. At 26th May.

BRITANNIA.
The arrival of the royal mail steamer Britannia,
which sailed from Boston on the 17th and Halifax on
the 19th inst., has put us in possession of news a week
later from the United States. She brings 41 passen-
gers and about 3,0001. specie.
The Cambria arrived out on Sunday, the 14th,
having left-Liverpool on the 29th ult. The intelli-
gence she brought of the quiet course of the elections
in France, and the predominance in Paris of the
moderate party, had given great satisfaction, and re-
lieved much anxiety that was felt as to the probable.
result of the elections.
" Meantime, however," observes a New York paper,
"we feel here the reaction of the political convulsions in
Europe, and the general stagnation of our trade brings
distress, or at least discouragement to many a fireside,
which little dreamed that its well-being was at all con-
nected with, any condition of European politics.
" The commercial accounts by the Cambria, which
are looked upon as more favourable generally, do not
seem to have produced any movement in our markets.
"Money remains inactive, without any urgent de-
mand. Yet, in that respect,-Neiw,York proves rather

easy, there is at the south, particularly and measurably
at Boston and other eastern cities, more pressure.

The condition of Mexico is most wretched. Bands
of guerillas waylay travellers—diligences are robbed
—private citizens murdered, and all business is in the
greatest insecurity. The better classes of citizens
hope for a speedy annexation to the United States, as
the only means of escaping from social disorders an d
rendering lite and property secure.
Generals Pillow, Towson, and Cushing, and a
large number of officers have returned home.
General Scott and staff arrived at Vera Cruz on
the 30th ult., and immediately embarked on board
the St. Petersburkh, direct for New York.
Mr. Trist had left New Orleans for the plantation
of his brother, near New River, where he intends
remaining a few days. He will then proceed to his
residence in Virginia, where he will prepare an ad-
dress to the people of the United States, in defence
of his conduct in Mexico.
A Bill to incorporate ae " Electric Telegraph
Company," has passed both Houses of the New
Brunswick Legislature, and the St. John's Courier
says:—" From the spirit with which the promoters
of the company have already acted, we anticipate
immediate action on the line of telegraph from Hali-
fax to this city."
The Caledonia steamer for Boston, which sailed
from Liverpool on the 6th, arrived at Halifax on the
19th.

The Great Western steamer arrived at New York
from Bermuda on the 16th, after a voyage of 73
hours.
The flour and grain markets have now, it seems,
entered.son their downward course, a nlscessary
consequence, as we have often previously mentioned,
ortfie opening of the canal navigation.
The decline has yet been but moderate, dealers on
the seaboard having been completely exhausted, and
one week's supply from the interior scarcely doing
more than filling up the unusual vacuum. Receipts
of flour have been to the total amount of 63,592
barrels ; and as every day now shows an increase, so, on
the latest day we have any account of (12th), the returns
from Albany tell of large quantities of corn, barley,
oats, pork, bacon, and all the innumerable articles in-
cluded under the comprehensive cognomen of bread-
stuff's and provisions.
The receipts and exports of cotton present an ex-
traordinary increase during the past few weeks. It
will appear, on reference to the particulars which we
subjoin under its proper head, that the receipts at
the ports are to the present time 370,000 bales in ex-
cess of last year at the same period, and the exports
450,000 bales extra, of which we in Great Britain
have received, or are to receive, being on shipboard.
an excess of 260,000 bales. The magnitude of the
operations has not been exceeded since the year
1845, which as yet still shows a larger amount than
the present one.
Money matters are represented as comparatively
easy in New York, Notwithstanding the drain of
specie, amounting, during the last four months and a
half, to upwards of 5,000,000 dollars. In the southern
states a degree of pressure still exists. The Govern-
ment stocks still keep well up. United States Sixes
of '67 command from 104 to 41 ; and Treasury Notes,
bearing 6 per cent. interest, convertible into a 6 per
cent. stock at the pleasure of the holder, and bearing,
meanwhile, 6 per cent. interest, bring from 1021 to
102 f.

Anew York paper gives the following bright pic-
ture of American manufactures :
" Cotton manufactures at Rochester appear to be in a
very prosperous condition, and no difficulty is expe-
rienced in finding a ready market for the goods. The
two factories at Rochester have, within the month, sold
some 116,000 yards of sheetings, and several bales have
also been sold at other establishments. Many of them
are sent west, and some to Canada. The goods
from these factories are the best to be found in any
Market, and we understand that orders are being re-
ceived faster than the goods can be manufactured."
The steamer Great Western arrived at New York
on the 11th from the Bermudas in 78 hours. This is
the first trip in the new mail line, to be continued
once every month.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Tay arrived at Ship
Island, below New Orleans, on the 3d ins.,
bringing dates from Nassau, N.P. tant
, to the 26th, and from Ilavannah to the 30th ult. There is no news.

CANADA.
MONTREAL, MAT 12.—The Repeal
Montreal, on Monday, passed off without a meeting at
citement. The Herald says there were but 1,000 orny ex
1,500 persons present.

YUCATAN.
We have a truly deplorable picture of the extremi-
ties the white population in Yucatan have been
brought to by the Indians. A correspondent writes
from Belize as follows:
" I have just received a special messenger from Ba-
calar (a town in the south-eastern part of Yucatan) by
whom I learn that the Indians have succeeded in getting
possession of that place. They entered the city by way
of the mountains—a part that was not fortified, and where
no fears were entertained of their approach. ,on gaining admittance' they commenced setting fire to
all buildings, public and private, which came in their
_a,
Way. This, of course, soon laid the entire city in ruins.

REVOLUTION IN ST. DOMINGO. th
An arrival from this island states that the people no
throughout the island were arming themselves r
against the Government. On the night previous to
the sailing of the Ellsworth an army was collectiwg
at Marigoone, which was to join another army of in-
surgents numbering 2,000 men from Jacmel, then
near Marigoone. After the junction it was their
purpose immediately to attack the Government troops.
The people appeared to be very much exasperated
against the President.

SOUTH AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING.—We have had
two arrivals this morning from Pernambuco, the
Swordfish and the Empress. Both ships sailed from
that port at the same hour on the 18th ult., and
kept company with each other for the first seven
days of the voyage, but then parted, the Swordfish
reaching the Mersey some twelve hours before the
Empress.
Our letters and papers by the Swordfish have been
delivered, but they are destitute of any political infor-
mation worthy of notice.
The following is a summary of the commercial news
by this arrival:—
I,....aln.consequence of the accounts from Bahia and Rio
but) Owing to the. scarcity of money which still prevailed,
,drawers were doing business at the rate of 27;} to 27. In
sugar the transactions were of a limited character, in con-
sequence of the scarcity of vessels and want of money.
From the tenor of the last European news which had
arrived
tot,ou it was expected.ldthatprices,wic ruled et
I Is. 3d. 8. per cwt recede still further.
Dry and salted hides* wereonnot incodtemand. The prices
current were 2d. to 3d. per lb. tfon 111 Sin large
supply, and that added to the advice* ziodm.
erurr, &c.,
had caused prices to decline to tad. to 4 The stock of Irish butter on the 15th ofp April was
only ab )ut 300 firkins, and at the last sales of iwhich
we have any report prices were 750 rs. per lb , whilst
French was taken at 630 rs. It is stated
that. next
arrivals from Ii eland would find ready buyers at en-
hanced prices.
With regard to freights, we have to remark that ton-
nage throughout the season has continued scarce, anti at
the time when the Swordfish sailed there were only two
disengaged vessels in the port of Pernambuco. The last
charter for the " Channel and a market" in the United
Kingdom was 31. 10s. and 5 per cent. commission; for
sugar in bags 10s. to 15s. additional if sent to a port on
the Continent between Havre and Hamburgh. Trieste
and other Mediterranean ports direct, 70s. to :52., and
5 per cent. commission. Sugar in cases 15 per cent.
higher. These were the rates current when the Sword•
fish left.
The Swordfish brings letters from Bahia to the 10th
ult., but they are not later than previous advicee. Ex-
change on England was quoted at 26i to 27. The stock
of coffee at that port on the Ist ult. was 19,921 cases,
and the receipts from the Ist of October, 15,767 cases.
Prices ruled at 13s. Bd. to 18s. I Id.
Rio Janiero letters inform us that freights remained
firm at that port, at 60s. to Antwerp--70s. had been
given to two small Danish vessels for the Baltic. Ex-
change had fallen from 261 to 26. The stock of coffee
was estimated at 80,000 bags, for which there few
buyers. Prices ranged at 2 dolls. 700 to 2 dolls. 800
for average good firsts, and 2 dulls. 900 to 3 dolls. for
superior qualities.

DEPUTATION of IRISH MEMBERS
TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Yesterday a deputation of Irish Members waited upon
Lord John Russell, with the object of obtaining a loan
of 300,0001. from Government, in aid of the Mullingar
Railway, now completed to the Hill of Down. The de-
putation consisted of Sir 'William Verner, M.P. (chair-
man), Colonel Conolly, M.P., Mr. Lawless, M.P., Mr.
Tenison, Mr. Charles Towneley, Mr. F. French, Mr.
Grace, Mr. 0. Gore, Mr. Fagan (Wexford County), Sir
Andrew Armstrong, Mr. Keogh, Mr. M. J. O'Connell,
Mr. Sullivan, Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Barry Baldwin, Mr.
O'Flaherty, Mr. Megan, Sir Percy Nugent, Mr. James
Perry, and Mr. Moffatt. Mr. Penny, a director of
the company, who was introduced by Sir William
Verner, explained the purpose of the deputation, and
said that the company now only require an advance
of 300,000/. to enable them to complete the line to Ath-
lone.

Lord JOIIN RUSSELL expressed his great anxiety to
advance the undertaking, and the disposition of the Go-
vernment to give the desired aid, but he was obliged
for the present to decline, in consequence •f the em-
barrassed state of the finances of the country. He,
however, held out some hopes that at a future day the
Government might be able to comply with the wishes of
the deputation.
