MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TI'II?EE-
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy,
but there was very little alteration in prices. Sales, 5,000
bales, including 700 for exportation; '2OO bales Pernsmbuco,
at 410. to id. ; and 80 bales Bahia, at 6d. ; 200 Egyptian,
at 54d. to 81,;d.; 200 Surat, at 3d. to 3,4gd. ; and the rest
American, at 4d. to s', d. per lb. Shares were dull again.
An arrival from Cape Town furnishes advices of April 25.
The Governor, Sir P. -Maitland, having matured his prepara-
tions, and put the whole of the inhabitants of the frontier in
a-state-of defence, advanced with the main body of the troops
into the Kafir territories, but found that no preparations to
oppose him had been made by the enemy, who in tact had
fled into the mountains. A good proportion of the chiefs
were friendly to us, &nubile, Macomo, and Botun excepted.
The necessity of teaching the Kafirs a wholesome lesson of
our power seems to be fully recognised by the Governor, and
the effect we may hope will be permanent security. That
even now very vigorais proceedings will be indispensable,
we may judge from the fact of more robberies and a murder
having been committed by one or two straggling parties of
Kafirs.
'1 he Crane packet, arrived at Falmouth, brings later in-
telliger ce from Rio de Jareiro and the Rio Plate. The Bra-
zilian Ministry had resigned, but otherwise there is nothing
of interest to be noted in there accounts. As regards belli-
gerent operations in the Rio Plate, since the battle of Salto
there was nothing new, save a few skirmishes. At Monte
Video, up to April 16, the Government seemed to be still
rather unsettled.
Accounts of February 16th, from Sydney, afford very little
local news, and in advices of the 13th of January, from New
Zealand, we do not find that the troops had moved further
up the country after the affair with Kawiti on the 11th of
that month, having, of course, scarcely had time to do so.
There is a flat market again for the Public Securities, and
the probability of the Peel Administration going out and
leaving the country in a state of political confusion, has a
depressing influence, which, we much fear, will not
be got over until a firm Cabinet is again
in power, and where that is to come from, if Sir
Robert Peal refuses again to head, sorely puzzles City
men. Lord John Russell is admitted to be fully competent
to the task, but it is doubted whether the Conservatives who
followed Sir Robert "more in sorrow than by choice," will
adhere to a Whig successor, even though to for ward irea-
i :lures planned nearly in the same spirit as are those of the
existing Ministry. These are City views, and we give them
for as touch as they may be considered worth. Console for
time bring 943,E Exchequer- bills are heavy at 9s. to
13s. premium. Bank Stock has receded to 2051,i and 2041,2,
and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been
down to 963%
The Foreign Investments are heavy, as may be supposed.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have realised 48 to for Ac-
count ; Spanish Three per Cents. obtain 37% to 36A ;
Mexican Bonds have been worth 271, ; and Brazilian,B4l/,.
Dui chi Two- and- a- Half per Cents. have been marked 60
to 60%.
Iri Railway Shares and Scrip there appears still to be very
little inclination to do business, either for speculation or
investment. The quotations are rather easier in the majority
of cases.
