AFFAIRS OF LA PLATA.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—We have received, vid Rio de
Janeiro, important Monte Vi lean dates to the 3d of March.
General Urquiza had been compelled to retreat from the pro-
vince of Corrientes before the combined forces of Corrientes
and Paraguay, under General Paz, with loss of baggage and
horses.

Since the above was written, we have received the fol-
lowing :
" Accounts have been received, by way of Per-
nambuco, to the 14th •of March from Rio Grande,
and the 6th of March from Monte Video. At
this latter place they had received official dis-
patches from General Paz, in Entrerios, dated the
14th of February, stating that General Urquiza, with Rosas'
army, had been in front of the combined Corrientes aad Pa-
raguayan army for some days; that he had succeeded in
capturing Urquiza's horses and carts ; and that the latter
was then retreating before him in disorder ; and he had no
doubt his forces would be completely dispersed. The im-
pression at Monte Video was, that General Paz's army
amounted to 17,000 men—an overwhelming force for that
country; and if this be correct, he must soon dispossess
Rosas' adherents of all Entrerios, and render General Oribe's
position in the Monte Videan territory very hazardous."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was not very
active, only 3,000 to 4,000 bales being sold, of which 500
were on speculation. The sales of the week have been 29,340
bales. Shares have been dull.
Messrs. Lamond's auction of Railway shares yesterday was

The issues of notes it may be presumed have been increased
by the payment of the Sycee silver purchased from Govern-
ment, and may be justified too upon the ground of the
weekly increasing amounts to the credit of the public trea-
sury,. T

day The arrangement which has been attempted by a few of
the bondholders of the Active and Deferred debt of Mexico,
seems to have assumed a substantive shape, but we
hope the Committee has been duly consulted in the
matter, as in fairness and courtesy they ought to be. The
proposal now is to convert Active and Deferred Debt into a
new Five per Cent. Stock, to bear interest from July next;
the present Actives being converted at 77%, and the De-
ferred at 65 per cent.
In the Funds there is very little doing. Consols have been
marked 961 and 9614 for Transfer next week, and 96%1/4
for Account. Exchequer-bills have been flat at 17s. to 21s.

Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 971/a to 97%.
There is a higher market for Mexican Bonds, which are
about 32% nominally for the Actives, and 17 to 1714 for
the Deferred. Spanish Stock has been quoted 24% for the
Five per Cents., and 371% for the Three per Cents. Portu-
guese Old Stock is at 81.
For Railway Shares the market is dull again. The bargains
in Scrip and Shares are again mostly at favourable rates for
the buyers.
