MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales, of which 1,000
American were taken for export, and 1,000 on specula-
tion. The market was very firm, and American were
11. per lb. higher; all other kinds without alteration.—
Share Market wws dull, and prices suffered a fur-
ther conbiderable decline.

There are numerous sales to-day in the Produce
Markets.

The rates at which bills of exchange, dated 90 days,
wen* negotiated yesterday afternoon upPn the principal
coutineural ciiiei, were all higher, Pule being at 25 25
to 30, AmstPrdain at 11 18 to Dili, Hamburgh at 13 8
to 81, and Trieste at 11 45 to 59.

result of the meeting of the Spanish Bond-
holders we stated yesterday, and we find upon
inquiry that it appears to give satisfaction. It is quite
true, nevertheless, that tnere are many parties who
would have preferred an indignant rdection of the con-
fiscatory plan etnuedied in the law which M. Bravo Mu-
rillo has induced the Cortes to sanction, but these par-
ties are either wealthy or do not perhaps consider that
the whole case is surrouuded with difficulties. If
they can afford to wait, the miserable families
who have fur years existed upon a mere pit-
tance, are not iu the same happy position, and
therefore will, however reluctantly, come into the unjust
compromise. The general remark is that the debtor is
dishonest and inseasihle to the high tone of moral feeling
that obtains among other European countries, conse-
quently it is wiser to get what is ( ffered. One thing,
at least, should bo well understood. Spain deserves no
thanks, no eulogy, no gratitude. She has her own
reward, for in the preamble of the Bill she boasts
of national faith, public principle, and so forth,
ad nuw,eum. Still we believe that the Spanish people
are not to be confounded with their Government, the
study of a hich. for years past. has been only to en.
rich its several Members and Queen Christina and her
favourites. Any one who objects that the resources of
,patu wi:l not enable her to do more, should remember
that her torbearing and generous creditors do not ask
more than she can grant. *Uney simply debited that Spain
anould keep her dr bt and interest intact, pay ing what she
could afford now, and more here atter. This, however, was
too honest and straightforward a c.aarse for any Minister
at M4drid, and accordingly halt the in erest in arrear
was unblushingly cut off, and the debtor told the claim-
ants they must take what they could get. Had the pro-
puss' not be,ii accepted by the meeting yesterday, he
Spanish Government would have gone on quietly paying
the dividends to the minority who sent in their assent
privately, or might even have declared that
as a majority did not acqui-ace, the law
should not be cat ried out, and there would
be possibly a delay of one or two years more.
Under these circumstances, strong as is our feeling
against the Spanish G .vernment, we think the bond
hold rs had no other course but to accept, nor do we
consider it would have been practicable to apportion the
money between those who held their bonds with the
coupons attached, and those who had cut them off and
sold them in the open market.
In this " piping time" of railways, when a new
scheme is Tate a rarity, there needs some
special recommendatien to induce participation in it.
The Western Railway of France, c mprisieg the section
from Paris, through Vet s,iiies to C artres, La L-uppe,
and Le Mane,ha, been conceded to Messrs. Pe to, Geach,
tirassey Betts Fux, Henderson, and Stokes. The con-
ditions appear to be very favourable, and the Govern-
ment guarantee a minimum tate of profit of four per
cent. per annum on all the capital. There will be
880.0001. however issued in class A shares, and the se
will receive the whole guarantee so as to yield six per
tent.
