MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

(From The Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales, 5,000 to 6,000 bales, including some export business.
Shares were quiet.
It must be most satisfactory to all persons desirous of hav-
ing a free intercourse for commercial purposes, to learn that
the Government of the United States, in its war with
Mexico, and its blockade of the principal ports of that
country, has consented that the mail packets be allowed
entry into Vera Cruz and Tampico. We are informed that
the assent of the British Government to the requirements of
the republic relative to the blockade of the ports named, will
be gazetted this evening, but that the ports will be open to
the Royal Mail packets for the delivery and receipt of letter-
bags. This is a course of proceeding honourable to the
Executive of the United States, to whom the mercantile
world's thanks are due. We must not forget, however, that
the Pacha of Egypt first set such an example.
It is represented that the coasting trade, as well as the
fishing beats, while bonafide carried on, will not be interfered
with by the American blockading fleet. Of course no further
remittances of bullion can be expected from Mexico until
the blockade has been raised.

There have not been any accounts of late dates announced
in the City this morning.
The Consol Market has been pretty firm to-day, at from
95% to 961% for immediate transfer, and at 95% to 96 for
the Account. The Commissioners took a small quantity of
Stick to-day. The larger portion of the surplus revenue
will be laid out in Exchequer-bills. The premium upon the
1,0001. bills is given at 12s. Bank Stock for the Account
has been sold at 208%.
The bargains in the Foreign Stock Market have been very
kw indeed to-day. Mexicans are quoted at 273% ; the
Portuguese Four per Cents, at 48 ; Russian at 112 ;
Spanish Three per Cents. at 3614 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. at 59% ; and the Four per Cents. at 9414.
The Railway Share market has been rather firm this morn •
ing, especially for Aberdeen, for Eastern Counties, for the
York Extension, for the Great North of England, and for Lon-
don and Birminghams. North Staffordshire Scrip is lower
than it was yesterday.
