We learn by electric telegraph from Liverpool that
the Caledonia arrived yesterday at that port.
She brings thirty passengers and 6,0001, on frei ht.
The Washington had not arrived. The Hibernia gwas
at Halifax. The news is not important. Meetings
to sympathise with the French continued to be held.
A motion on the subject had been rejected in the
United States Senate by a vote of 21 to 22, it being
considered too precipitate. There was no intelligence
from Mexico. Commercial affairs were in a satisfac-
tory position :—Exchange on England, 8 to 9i.
Cotton is reported as declining; stocks as increasing.
Bread stuffs were in limited demand, but prices were
&toady. Freights were more active.

The Corn Market is dull again to-day. The arrivals
of Corn, and indeed of most other articles, are very
large.
The English Funds have been firmer to-day, and
money stuck is again a shade dearer than
Stock for Account, a proof that the dealers
and speculators are still Beers, and entertain
an unlaviairable opinion of continental, Irish, and
other affairs. 'The chapter of accidents, coupled
with the possibility of money becoming scarcer is in
their favour, but it is not the first time
that the public have beaten the jobbers by purchases
for investment, and should nothing serious occur, per-
haps this may happen again. Still there is fair ground
for speculation. Consols have been 82 to for Transfer,

The Railway share market is very dull, but prices
