Naw CoLoislAL Orrie*rjt is the intention of the
Commissioners of Woods anir-Vorests to erect imme-
diately a new Ctlonial Office, fl ore extensive and better
adapted to the wants of that department of the Govern-
ment than the buildings now used fbr the purpose in
Downing-street. The new offices Will be erected in
Whitehall, on the site now occupied by Lady Dover's
mansion, and will adjoin the Board of Trade, and extend
as far as the Canteen at the Horse Guards. The style
of architecture will be Italian, and the design will be en-
trusted to Mr. Barry, the architect of the New Palace at
Westminster.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL I 1 W :S.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet,
the demand being steady. Sales 3,000 bales.—The Rail-
way Share Market was decidedfy better at the outport,
prices having risen, and the demand being active.
With very laudable promptitude, the Committee of
Spanish American Bondholders have forwarded, for
the information of the creditors of Mexico, copies
of correspondence received by the West India mail, and
which are very satisfactory under circumstances. There
is now some prospect of the payment of a dividend, and
we may hope that adequate funds may shortly be in hand
to overcome all scruple on the part of Messrs. Schneider
and Co. as to the payment of half a dividend on account.
The following are the letters referred to:—
(From Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh.)
" Mexico, Sept. 12, 1848.
" Sir,—We beg to hand you herewith duplicates of
our last respects, since when we are deprived of your
favours, the steamer with the mails of the Ist of August
not having yet arrived.
"We now beg to inform you that on the 2d instant
we received from the Mexican Government, and for-
warded to Mr. Glass, of Tampico, for shipment by the
present steamer, a bill for 22,400 dolls., being the 20 per
cent. belonging to the bondholders, proceeding from the
duties returned by the Americans in Tampico under the
treaty of peace.
"In addition to this amount you will receive from
our Vera-Cruz house, we believe by this packet, a re-
mittance for the 20 per cent. of the duties, carried by
the conducts of specie which lately left this for that
port; and the united amount of these remittances we
should think will exceed 50,000 dolls.
"We shall have to remit also a further sum of
$40,208 0 4, received from the Mexican Government,
on account of the dividends, respecting which you will be
duly advised.
" As yet the Congress 'has not come to any decision
as to what proportion of the twelve millions of Ameri-
can indemnity is to be appropriated to the dividends.—
We remain, &c.,
(Signed) " MANNING AND MACKINTOSH.
" G. R. Robinson, Esq."
(From Messrs. Manning, Mackintosh, and Co.)
" Vera Crust, Sept. 19, 1343.
"Gentlemen,—We hand you herewith copy of our last
respects, and have now the pleasure to advise having
shipped by the present opportunity $29,138 25 ; being
the proportion due to the bondholders of duties actually
recovered by this custom-house from the 11th of July
to the 11th inst.
"By an approximate calculation we find the duties
upon vessels entered at this custom-house in
July, amount to ... 8108,000
August, 200,000
which we mention for your government.
" Remaining, &e.,
(Signed) "MANNING, MACKINTOSH, AND CO.
"To the. Chairman and Committee of Spanish
American Bondholders."
(From Mr. Glass.)
" British Consulate, Tampico, Sept. 18, 1048.
" Sir,—l beg to report for the information of the
Mexican bondholders that I have some twenty odd
thousand dollars ready for shipment, being twenty
per cent. on the amount which was transferred
from the American to the Mexican custom-house
at this port on the resumption of their authority ;
but as the packet is not yet in, and if she arrive, may not
remain long enough, I fear the shipment will not take
place this month.
" I have the honour, &c.
(Signed) " J. W. GLASS, Consul.
" G. R. Robinson, Esq., Chairman, &c."
There are no colonial arrivals to-day, and the con-
tinental letters are uninteresting upon matters of busi-
ness, the representation generally being that the markets
are inactive. Belgium progresses better than any
of her neighbours. The mercantile news by the
Overland Mail is, however, of really an encou-
raging nature, speaking relatively. Nothing could bet-
ter illustrate the importance, as well as the elasticity,
of the eastern markets than the fact of their partial
recovery so soon from a state of extreme depression,
and we are more than ever disposed to think that if
trade were legitimately conducted with India, as it may
be probably after .the break down of the long credit-
taking firms, there would be much more profit derived
from it to the advantage of both the Indian grower and
the British artisan.
The Produce Markets in London have this week been
very heavy again, and there has been a decline in the
value of several articles.
The Public Securities have been buoyant this morn-
ing, though at the hour of our writing there is
a little reaction. Until later advices are received from
Vienna, it is not probable that parties will operate
boldly. Consols have been 851 I, and are now 84

The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish

guese Four per Cents. 236. Mexican Bonds have been

Railway Shares have all advanced again, and look
very strong, notwithstanding the predictions in many
quarters that they will give way again.
