CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken
for export, and 500 Egyptian on speculation. The
market closed firmly with a hardening tendency. The
a
sates comprised 5,000 American, 200 Pernam and Ma-
ranham at 40. to 61d. • 130 Bahia at 6d. to Gid.; 650

Mining pursuits in various parts of England are being
carried on with considerable spirit, and with a full share

of success. In some districts there is a sudden turn of

87% 88

prosperity, owing to the more vigorous prosecution o
the works, and the improved system under which min.
_

ing is carried on. During the month of November the
dividends declared have amounted in the aggregate to
25.560/. The Par Consols paid 401. per share the first
dividend this year; the Devon Great Consols 51.5 the
Wheal Buller 121. 10i ; the Trevisky 71 ; and others in
proportion. The calls made in November range from
Is. on the North Trelawny, Quith, to 41., on the East
Wheal Agar. The shares of one mine in Wales that

IN
56%%34 SE4,I

were unsaleable are said to be up to 201. or 251. each.
This is quite equal to Californian results.
The Californian mining undertakings have been run-
ning their course with some of the ordinary fluctuations
of new concerns. The shares have been up and down,
and promise to be favourites for speculation, owing to
the frequent arrivals that we shall have from America.
Nothing that we perceive in the latest accounts seems
prejudical to the prospects of the companies when they
get to work, and as some have their staff ready, and
others have started off the chief officers, there will be
very little delay if the leases are all right. Wo assume
that Colonel Fremont is fully confirmed in his rights
by the Government at Washington, otherwise he would
never venture upon the disposal of particular ttacts; but
there certainly have been statements circulated that

matters are not yet finnlly arranged, and that a commis•
sion will be sent from the United States to San Fran

cisco to adjust all claims. Possibly :Colonel Fremont's
is not included, and we should consider this the more
probable because local capitalists have paid over stipu-
lated sums to the Colonel for privileges accorded by him.
The greatest harm to all the concerns started has been
by the misunderstanding about the leases, and if, as Mr.
Hoffman asserts, certain of them were granted upon
conditions not performed, the directors here, who must
or should have known this ere they took them from the
original lessors, will have to be arraigned before the bar
of public opinion. The Agua Fria is excepted
by Mr. Hoffman, although that gentleman did not
think proper in his first advertisement to include it as
having a valid and non-forfeited lease. This for the
mere purpose of " puffing off" ono or two companies that
have treated directly with Mr. Hoffman is scarcely the
way to make any of the companies gain public confi-
dence, and mere disappointment that others were first in
the field would not justify the proceeding. Still there
is a service that Mr. Hoffman deserves thanks for. He
has shown grounds for caution, and ii it turns out that
any company has been got up upon a forfeited lease, he
wit! deserve more than praise. Many reasons now com-
bine to render the oldest company established—the
Anglo-Californian, under Sir Vere Huntley—the most
promising of all, because it is in full operation, and can
work for itself or others as deemed best.
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have to-day
received the following letter from the financial agency
of the Republic in London, viz:—
(Translation.)
_ _ _

" Agency of Mexico, in London, 32, Grea,
WinchestQnstreet, Nov. 29, 1851.

"Sir,—By the present packet I shall transmit to H.E.
the Minister of Finance a copy of the letter of the 24th
inst., which, at the desire of the committee, you ad-
dressed to me, and though I have no doubt that it will
be taken into consideration by the Supreme Govern-
ment, it is my. duty to protest, as I hereby do,
against what is said in it, that the 11exiean authorities
are evidently encroaching on the funds intended for the
payment of the interest.
" Far from that being the case, I can assure the com-
mittee that the Supreme Government is animated by the
beat intentions in favour of the foreign debt, and I like-
wise believe that the funds assigned for the payment of
the interest are sufficient for that purpose. The delay
experienced in the forthcoming of these funds, and which
has given rise to the unjust imputation alluded to, is
simply to be ascribed to the credit which the law allows
the merchant in the payment of the dues.
" It is well known that, in consequence of such credit,
the duties of August last and of the sttbscquent months
have not yet been received in cash at the maritime
Custom-house, and therefore, though they have been
counted upon in effecting the payment of the next divi-
dend, the remittances here are by so much behind.
" This is certainly an evil, but an unintentional one,
which unfortunately was not foreseen in time, but will
no doubt be guarded against in future.
" I flatter myself that this explanation may allay
whatever anxiety may exist among the creditors, and
have the honour to renew the assurance of my distin-
guished consideration.
(Signed) " F. FACEO.
" James Capel, Esq., Deputy Chairman of the
Committee of Mexican Bondholders."
The English Stock Market has been unusually agi-
tated this morning by the highly important news from
France, and there is a fall of 11 to 14 per cent. Some
idea of the impending crisis must have been obtained
late yesterday afternoon, as after official hours, and
when the majority of the members were safe at home,
the Funds were reported to be lower here upon news
of moment from Paris. No clue could then be obtained,
and persons who left the French metropolis yesterday
afternoon state that there was then no appearance of
excitement in the places of public resort. Consols have
been 98i I, and since 97i *. They are now about 971,
sellers. The New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. have
realised 93 to 984. Bank Stock is worth 2144, and
India Stock 2641 to 262. Exchequer-bills have ruled
at 525. to 555. premium.
Foreign Securities have been generally very good, but
are at this moment affected by the reaction in Consols,
and it is difficult to quote values, correctly. Mexican
Bonds have been 244 to 244 upon the above communi-
cation. Peruvian Stock is 91*. Brazilian Old Bonds
have been marked 964 to 98, a further advance. Portu-
guese Four per Cents are 344. Spanish Five per Cents
have been at 214, and the Three per Cents at 40*. Sar-
dinian Bonds, ex-dividend, are 80 to 82. Dutch Stock
is higher, being 504 to 60.
Railway Shares have been in good request, but are
weaker now, tho foreign lines suffering most.
Californian mines are at barely previous rates.

THE RUFFORD POACHING.—Four men are com-
mitted to Nottingham County Gaol, charged with murdering
th keeper, ',yeas at;u. liwy will be tried ntxt
assizes. To such an enormous extent does the Earl, of
Scarborough preserve game, that it is not only a grievous
thing for his tenantry, but is a pcsitiye decoy for poachers.
