MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY. —Of the transac-
fions this week, Saturday and Monday embraced about 16,000
bales. one-third to speculators, the remainder being divided
amongst the following four days in about equal portions, and
we have found, as we had noticed on Wednesday last, that in
the rates of demand there has been a steadiness of prices, which
closed the same ai on Friday last. It is very evident that since
the receipt of the last accounts from the United States, and
the lack of encouragement from the Manchester market, that a
greater degree of caution actuates buyers, whilst the account
of short crops still has its influence on the holders. Specula-
tors have taken 7,000 bales of American, and 500 Surat;
1,240 bales of American, and 110 Surat, were forwarded into
the country last month unsold. The sales to-day are about
4,000 bales of all kinds.

The following is from the Rio Journal, relative to the
force of Lavalle ;--

" Quebrachito, Nov. 29, 1840.
" Yesterday we came up with the army of the miscreant
Uni,arians at this place. Aire immediately fell upon them, and
the result of the action has heen their cnimpleat defeat and de-
struc•ion, 1,500 of them being left dead upon the field, besides
all their artillery, infantry, and baggage, a great number of
prisoners, their spare horses (few in number), many families,
their two colours, and the enormous insignia worn by the bar-
barous Lavalle himself, and which he was obliged to throw off
in his desperate anxiety to escape, have fallen into our hands;
they likewise left a great quantity of arms, both of those dis-
tributed among the troops and of those they had in reserve for
a future occasion. I shall be more particular; in the mean time
I congratulate you on the glorious triumph achieved on the
28th. Lavalle has fled in the direction of El Tio, with a mere
handful of men.—l have the honour, &c.

" MANUEL ORIBE."
P. S.—We hear that the army has prosecuted its opera-
tions in the territory of Cordova, and that on the 7th, some
of the advanced divisions were within a short distance of the
capital of that province, the comparatively small forces of
La Madrid not seeking an encounter after the defeat they had
sus'ained from the column commanded by Colonel Barcena."
I~ARAGUAY.—It appears from an extract of a private letter
in the Monte Video Journals, that the death of Dr. Francia,
Dictator of Paraguay, which took place, as we before stated,
on the 20th of September last, caused some, excitement
amongst the peoi-le of the capital.
