that the Saxon Monarch, in his journey to Italy has ex-
ercised his influence with the Sardinian Sovereign in
a conservative sense. The league will be organised
somewhat alter the wanner of the Germanic Confedera-
tion—the w-nabers will be independent—the Pope will
head it, and Austria will direct it, and as the Holy See
possesses a great moral influence is all the Catholic
states, the policy of Austria will receive from this
measure an accession of power hitherto unheard of; but
it is probable that France and Sardinia will not submit
to this increase of her power in the Peninsula, and that
Great Britain will, in conjunction with these two states,
exert all her power to defy this menacing attitude of
Austria in Italy."

The Count LE BOULSCIIAUNSTEIN has been named
definitively ambassador from Austria to the Court of
St. James's. The Minister of Finance has decided
that the payment for the new loan shall be in cash, or
five per cent. added if in paper money.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, of which 3,000
were taken for export and on speculation. The market
closed steadily. The Share Market was dull, with but
little change in prices.
The weekly account of the Bank of England is made
up to the 16th instant, and presents the expected in-
crease in the amount of bullion, arising as well from
the United States' and California as from the upward
movement in the rates of exchange upon the principal
continental towns_ The addition to the public account
of the Treasury is still a feature, and if it goes on as
well as at present, the amount will be very respectable
towards the close of the quarter. The private deposits
were diminished, and there was an increase in the loans
and discounts, both proofs of money finding readier em-
ployment in' home mercantile circles. Compared with
the previous return, the results are as follow:

The committee of Mexican Bondholders have issued a
statement of the amount to which the eight coupons in
arrear, now converted into certificates are entitled, viz.,
205,000 dollars from M. Escandon for cotton iicenses,
about 231,000 dolls. from Messrs. Manning and Mackin-
tosh, and 25,C00/., less expenses, in the Bank of Eng-
land. There are also claims for tobacco and customs
duties. The following is an exact copy of the assign-
ment of the indemnity money:—
(TRANSLATION.
" Treasury-General of the Federation.
" The Treasurers in charge of the Treasury-General
of the Federation hereby certify that on folio 91 of the
Lodger they have placed 2,500,000 dollars at the disposal
of the Chairman of the Bondholders of the Foreign Debt,
in conformity with Article 1 of the Decree of the 14th of
October last, the conditions of that decree having been ac-
cepted by the holders of the bonds of the said debt, converted
the 4th July, 1846. This amount is to be paid out of the
instalment which is due in May, 1852. to the Govern-
ment of this Republic by that of the Unitesl States, in
virtue of the 12th Article of the Treaty of Peace con-
cluded between the two nations in the city cf Guada-
loupe Hidalgo, on the 2d February, 1848, and explained
and ratified in Queretaro on the 30th of May of the
same year, it being understood that the certificate, exe-
cuted in triple, is to servo as a receipt to the Govern-
ment of the United States, and to the party commis-
sioned by them to pay the money in May, 1852, as may
be agreed on with the Chairman of the Bondholders of
the Mexican Foreign Debt, to whom it is to be expedited
in falfilment of the depositions of the supreme order of
the 15th inst.

CRINIINAL COURT.-(rITIS DAY•)

OLD COUR'''.
(Before Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY.)
Joseph Blades was indicted for assaulting and stealing
some money tram the person of Marcus Phillips, on the
Queen's highway. The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
From the prosecutor's statement, who is an inter-
preter, it appeared that on the night of the 10th of July,
