MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 3,000 bales, all to the trade, including 200
Pernam and Maranham at Id. to 81d., 100 Egyptian at
lid. to Sid., and 300 Surat at 4id. to sid. per lb. The
market was heavy.—Railway Shares were quiet, but the
market closed flatly.
The public Wool sales commence on the 15th of next
month.

At present no public sales of Sugar or Coffee are ad-
vertised for Thursday, which, in the City, will be a par-
tial holiday, as the Stock Exchange is always closed on
the Ist of May.

The letters and papers by the steamer Baltic, from the
United States, were delivered this morning. The money
market at New York was easier. It is stated that the
legislatures of most of the states have adjourned, and
those still in session will soon adjourn. Nothing of im-
portance has transpired in any of those which have ad-
journed, affecting the public indebtedness. It is fortu-
nate for the creditors of those states which are already
deeply' involved, that the Legislatures have not the power
to contract new loans. The new constitutions which
have been adopted, restrict legislation upon this subject,
and but fcr this we should have had any quantity of
plans proposed for an increase of debt; and projects
for the extension of works of internal improvement
would have been presented from every quarter. The
Legislature of this state is at this moment en-
gaged in discussing the constitutionality of making
a new loan of nine millions of dollars, to enlarge the
Erie and other state canals. More than a dozen lawyers
have given an opinion in relation to the matter, about
one-half of whom say that such an act would be consti•
tutional, and the other half say it would not. The
friends of the Bill are making every effort to get it
through, but the probability is that they will not suc-
ceed. The new constitution of New York prohibits the
Legislature from contracting any loan without first sub-
mitting the project to, and obtaining the consent of, the
people, at the election following the passing of the Bill,
and a direct tax is levied fur its liquidation.
This matter illustrates clearly the importance of pro-
hibiting, by constitutional enactments, the Legislature
from the reckless contraction of debt, which formerly
characterised the proceedings of the representative
branch of nearly every state Government in the Union,
and resulted in so much public delinquency, bankruptcy,
and repudiation. It would be much better for the Le•
gislature of this state to remodel this Bill, and consider
it a loan at once, and let it go through the forms pre-
scribed by the constitution, to the final issue, and the
matter will be disposed of for ever.
A party, writing from Havanneh under date of the 7th
inst., complains of the measures " resorted to in this city
to induce our merchants to send out their vessels here in
expectation of high freights, and thus, when the har-
bour is full, they may dictate what freights shall be.
They have done this more this season than ever was
done before, in consequence of the advance of freights in
the Gulf ports. You will see by the enclosed price cur-
rent, that freights are quoted 31. to 31. 10s. to Cowes and
a market (as this is the way three-fourths of the charters
are made here, it will serve as one example for all),
when for the last week the highest rate that has been
offered has been 21. 12s. 6d. It may be a mistake of the
press, as they are not quite so advanced as we are in the
art of newspaper printing, but it has happened almost
too often for that."
Business The Mexican accounts state—
dole to-day

" A new order of things is pervading here. The
watchwords of the Administration, and of all true
hearted and patriotic Mexicans, now are Vamos
Adelante,' synonymous with our Yankee phrase, Go
ahead.'

" The new President, Arista, is indefatigable in his
labours. He is a genuine workie, and his whole soul is
devoted to his beloved country. Day and night he is
engaged in his public duties, advising with his counsel-
lors, and directing the officials in their duty.
" You will notice, on looking over the Mexican papers
I send you, that some of them seem inclined to assail
him. This to be expected. The number of aspirants
for poWer here is as great as in the United States; and
here, ts 4 there, the ambitious claims of most individuals
seem to be in an inverse ratio to their ability and fitness.
The factious accuse the President as being disposed to
act dieltatorially. If he was less firm, they would
accuse 'him of being inert and inefficient. But all this
opposition will ecd in froth and bubble. He is a
just tato and a patriot, and will be sustained by the
people. Pronunciamientos against him and his acts will
be as fdolish and as futile as those of Wendell Phillips,
GarrisOn, and Co., i❑ the United States. The staunch
men of the country are with him—the true patriots are
with hits—the worthy and intelligent of the priesthood
are with him. They all see that he is copying after our
Washington, and cares not for himself if he can serve his
country; They all see that if this republic is allowed any
longer to be torn to pieces by domestic dissensions—her
strength paralysed at home and abroad—ber prosperity
retarded, and the moral strength of her people continued
to be weakened by factions—she will become, as she will
deserve to become, an easy prey to some hostile ambi-
tious rivsl nation, or relapse into a military monarchical
despotism. The Church see, and the men of property
see, his policy is the true policy fur the preservation of
their just rights; and the people see that tbo same policy
will'protect their liberties. He is only opposed by the fac-
tious, the discontented, the mere adventurers, and the
unprincipled and desperate traitors who would exalt them-
selves on the ruin of their country."

Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were quoted 57 7-16.

tolerably firm market. Consols bring 964 i for Trans-
fer and Account; Exchequer-bills are 50s. to 53.. pre-
mium; and India Bonds have been also at those rates.
Bank Stock has been quoted 2104 to 211.
Foreign Securities have been in moderate request.
Mexican Stock has realised 35 to The absurd state-
ment as. to the departure of the steamer on the 6th of
March without the 80,000 dollars, owing to the bad wea-
ther, had a temporary influence, but it was speedily dis-
covered that so far from this being the case, the ship
arrived here with the money some time since. Peru-
vian Deferred Stock has been at 394 to 39i. Portuguese
Four per Cents. are 344, being higher. Spanish Five

In Shares there is not a great 'deal doing, but prices
are fairly supported.
