WOOL.

The imports of Wool into London during the past week
have consisted of 869 bales from Hobart Town, and 500 bales
from various other quarters. In the private contract mar-
kets, to little is doing in all descriptions, that prices are al-
most nominal ; and, to effect sales, lower rates must be Sub-
mitted to.

ra-SIXTGA.TE AND LEADENHALL.
Owing to the continued warm weather, the receipts of
slaughtered meat up to this market from distant parts dur-
ing the past week have been small; but the supplies kilted
in the metropolis hake be seasonably large, CIA U 19102910

the demand may be considered inactive, at but little varia-
tion in price. A few carcases of foreign beasts and sheep
have again appeared on sale.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a moderate demand for Cotton at Liverpool on
Saturday, and the sales were about 4,000 bags. Prices were
steadily supported.
The proceedings at the meeting held at Lord John Russell's
mansion on Saturday last have been read here, by the mer-
cantile and monetary classes, with the deepest interest and
anxious attention, as it is feared in many quarters that
with a defeat either upon the Coercion (Ireland) Bill, or the
Suglr Duties, a dissolution of the Cabinet is all but inevitable.
The course oflegislation would, under this contingency, or in the
event of a dissolution of Parliament, be most materially im-
peded, and at a period when almost all parties are prepared to
enter freely into operations in produce, both colonial and
foreign, under the lull anticipation that the corn and other
tariff measures will soon be passed.
The private communications received from the West In-
dies this morning, brought by the Tweed steam-ship, are
rather more unfavourable if possible than the previous intel-
ligence conveyed by the public journals of nearly all the
islands. For the protectionists, the news of the losses of
cattle, &c., and the destruction of the crops by a most severe
drought, has come at a good time, as not a doubt is enter-
tained but that it will be made a handle of to show the nu-
policy of the Legislature adopting a line of policy which
must in their opinion tend further to the distress of the
colonists. But there will be a word to say on the other side
in favour of the changes to be pressed forward by Lord J.
Russell and his supporters, viz.—that though so general a fai-
lure of the crops in the West Indies is a reason for admitting
foreign free grown produce at reduced duties, yet thin would
I'.- t It. ,yonle of Great Britain being compelled to pay
such high prices for sugar .epool‘iny when the crops
in our colonies turn out so deficient. The remittances on ac-
count of the Mexican dividends are considered good, and
show that, so far at least, notwithstanding the war with the
United States, the Government of the Republic has held
sacred the reveaues hypothecated to the payment of the
dividend.
The Public Securities have been drooping again to-day,
and the cause no doubt is the somewhat precarious situation
of the Ministry, and the uneasy feeling which political ex-
citement must ever create. For Account Consols have been
marked at a decline to 95% and 95%. The premium on
Exchequer-bills has been steady at 17s. to 215., and on India
Bonds at 285., for those under 1,0001. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 974 to %,
anti the Three per Cents. 951 A%.
The Foreign Bonds have been very dull. Mexican Five
per Cents. have been flat at 291/s to 1/f, and the Deferred at
16% to Portuguese Four per Cents. have been heavy,
and have lost the improvement of Saturday, being now
marked 49. Dutch Two-arad-a•Half per Cents. have been
quoted 6013, and Russian Bonds 110 to 110%.
In the Share Market the transactions entered into have
been upon a moderate scale, and the quotations are for the
most part without any alteration of moment.

it could be finally destroyed; it was then discovered that it

even to relinquish it in death,
