NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

NigNYMARKET, MONDAY EVENING. Irih;llsi was prolific
of sport this afternoon, no less than nine races having been
brought to an issue, commencing at half-past twelve, and
finishing so late as to render it necessary to extend the time
of entering for Tuesday half an hour. Abundant as the
bill of fare was, however, it lacked importance, none of the
stakes having any prospective interest. The meeting, indeed,
mainly rests on the 2.000 guinea stakes, which, as well from
its intrinsic value as from the effect its result is likely to pro-
duce on the Derby betting, continues to excite the most
lively interest. It-is said that the starters for it u ill be Tom
Tulloch, Tibthorpe, Green Pea, Ingo, Radulphus, King
Charles, Holloway, and one of Lord Exeter's, probably the
Galata colt. Mr. Osbaldeston adheres to his intention to
ride King Charles. The present betting is even on Tom
Tullock. Of the sport we give the usual returns; notwith-
standing the unsettled and almost wintry character (f the
weather, it attracted an averagely full and fashionable
company.

(FROM. A COItRIESPONDEVir.)

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were from
4,000 to 5,000 bales. The market was steady, without alters-
tionof prices.

The accounts from the various parts of the country, re-
ceived this morning, and for several days past, refer to an
increased demand for all descriptions of agricultural produce,
especially for horses, lambs, sheep, and cattle. The grain
markets, also, are represented as being firm.
The mercantile letters received this morning from the
United States are, upon the whole, of a more favourable
character. The following extract from papers before us
are well worth attentive perusal, as indicating the extent cf
trade that might be carried on were the corn tariff passed

into law :
" The trade between this country and Great Britain, both
in regard to imports and exports, exceeds those from, or to,
all the rest of the world. About two-thirds of our aggregate
exports go to Great Britain and her dependencies, and more
than one-half of our aggregate imports come from Great
Britain and her dependencies. There are no other two coun-
tries in the world so intimately connected in their commer-
cial relationF, or by ties of consanguinity, as England and
America, and a rupture between the United States and Grevt
Britain would, therefore, be more unnatural, and attended
with more serious consequences, than between any other two
nations in existence."
Sydney accounts have reached us to the 2d January last.
The wool trade was brisk there, and the markets very well
supplied with all sorts of farming produce. The Council had
been further prorogued to the 17th February by Sir G. Gipps.
From New Zealand we are informed that the natives were
tranquil at Wellington, and matters in other respects looked
more favourable. At Manawuta the cultivation of flax was
going on with considerable activity.
The Funds have been rather firm this morning. Consols
for Money are steady at 961/s, and for Account at 961/4. Ex-
chequer-bills have improved a trifle upon Saturday's pre-
mium, as also has .India Bonds. Not much business, how-
ever, is going on Bank Stock opened at 2043%, but is now
at 205. The New Three •and-a-Quarter per Cents. are
heavy at 96%.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have just been sold at 571,E
—a rise on Saturday's rates of % per cent. The only other
bargains this morning have been in Brazilian, now at 80; in
Grenada, at 22; in
_Spanish Three per Cents., at 36%; in

Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 5914 %; and in the g
