MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
The affairs of Mexico, though no fresh intelligence
has been received, continue to occupy a prominent po-
sition in City discussion. The stock is flatter than it
has been since the late rise, and there seems a general
belief, supported by the opinions of persons who evi-
dently pay much attention to the movements in the
Spanish American Republic, that the return of Santa
Anna to power is a contingency for which every one
ought to be prepared. His departure from the Havan-
na') at the special invitation of the inhabitants of Vera
Cruz, and the known fact that for a length of time his
friends in this country have been most sanguine as to
the success of an organised scheme of revolution
by which they might profit, with the additional cir-
cumstance that the declarations in his favour through-
out the republic, are making a decided impression on
the public mind, and the fear of the consequences that
might result from such a change, will explain in a mea-
sare the quotations of the present day. Even when
the public accounts from America stated that Santa
Anna had abandoned all ambitious projects, and in-
tended to live in retirement at the Havan nah, a numerous
party in this country denied the truth of the assertion,
and stated that he was only " biding his time" for the
special developement of his plans. It is now rumoured
that so confident is he of being again placed by the
Mexican people at the head of affairs, that he has ar-
ranged a kind of regency, which, having himself as the
chief actor in the back-ground, would make another
person (some say, Senor Almonte) the representative of
his views. Should Paredes be deposed, and Santa Anna
elevated to power, it remaius to be seen how affairs
would stand between Mexico and the United States.
This is the way in which the matter is talked of in the
City among parties whose information in affairs of the
sort is generaly found to be pretty good.
When people who have entered into a contract
find themselves imposed upon, according to the

English creditors of Portugal convinced of the utter
absurdity of a country levying an income-tax on the
interest which it pays on its foreign debt, have been
looking over the decree endorsed on the bonds of 1841
(5 per cent.), to find if there is any unlucky clause that
will make a special case of their position. Nothing of the•
sort is to be seen, the words of the decree being aal
plainly against the new tax as possible. We give the
last clause;—

" And I do hereby further declare for her said Ma-
jesty Donna Maria the Second and her successors, Kings
and Queens of Portugal, Algarves, and the dominions
thereof, that this present obligation shall be kept in-
violable, and shall in no wise be affected by any poli-
tical change or circumstance whatsoever, and shall be
held equally sacred in peace as well as in time of war
between Portugal and any other country in or out of
Europe, and I hereby bind her said Majesty Queen Donna
Maria the Second and her successors, Kings and Queens
of Portugal, Algarves, and the dominions thereof, in
the mest solemn manner to the faithful performance
of all the foregoing engagements ; and do declare
that no judicial pleas whatever, privileges in suits,
or any pretence, shall avail her said Majesty and
her successors, Kings and Queens of Portugal,
Algarves, and the dominions thereof, in pleading and
counter-pleading, all which I formally and deliberately
renounce, as well as any plea by whatever name it may
be called, and which is contrary to this bond, by virtue
of which all laws, opinions, and decrees to the contrary
notwithstanding are declared of no effect, and as if each
had been separately declared and specified.
"In faith of which I, Manoel Gorcalves do Miranda,
have hereunto set my hand and seal, in Lisbon, on the
13th day of February, 1841."
There it stands, as plain as can be, that no "political
change or circumstance whatever" can affect the obliga-
tion in question; and yet, in the face of this contract,

creditors' interest. We are glad to hear that the prin-
cipal bondholders keenly feel the injustice of the arbi-
trary measure by which their property is invaded, and
that they are about to call a general meeting to express
their dissent. Then, no doubt, the truth will be spoken
without disguise.—'limes.

SHOCKING SUICIDE WITH CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE.
—Yesterday morning, a female named Jane Robertson,
twenty-three years of age, expired in the accident ward
of Guy's Hospital, from the effects of taking a large
quantity of corrosive sublimate. It seems that the
deceased had been leading an irregular life for some
time past, and on the afternoon of Monday, the 31st
ult., she purchased a quantity of the poison, which she
took to:a coffee house in the Westminster-road and swal-
lowed. Sho was discovered by the proprietor, who gave
her in charge to the police, and she was conveyed to the
above hospital, where she died in great aptly yesterday
The body awaits an inquest.
