MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, with a firm market, and prices
tending upwards. American and Surat were id. per lb.
higher than o❑ Friday last. Other kinds without alto-
ration.—ln Railway Shares a large business was done,
and prices of all kinds of Stock were higher.
The sales in the Produce Markets have been to a fair
extent, but exclusively for consumption. More Fast
India Sugar has been taken at a slight concession in
prices. Coff.-e has been steady. Rum rather quieter,
and also Cotton and Tea. Tallow and Saltpetre wanted.
The intelligence in the last American papers, dated
Mexico, the 16th alt., to the effect that the British Mi-
nister in Mexico had demanded a final answer to Lord
Palmerston's dispatches, and that it was reported that
unless the answer was satisfactory, all the Mexican ports
would be blockaded, appears to be quite unfounded, be-
cause, according to the subjoined copy of Mr. Falcon-
net's letter to the Committee of Mexican Bondholders,
of the 6th ult., the substance of which was published on
the 12th instant, the only matter in dispute between the
two countries had been settled.

" Mexico, Oct. 6, 1851.

" Sir,—Referring to my respects of the 4th instant, I
avail myself of the departure of an extra express, which
is to leave Mexico this morning, to inform you that the
Congress have come to a decision to authorise the Go-
vernment to make arrangements with the different Fo-
reign Ministers for a settlement of the claims which they
represent, either based upon diplomatic conventions, or
sar,ctioned by decisions of the judicial tribunals here.
This, therefore, gets rid of one of the difficulties which
stood in the way of the Government.
" The means for the settlement alluded to are to be
provided out of that portion of the Custom-house revenue
which is yet unappropriated.
" In regard to the other claims which are not of
either of the above denominations, the Senate has for
the present refused to give their sanction to the settle-
ment for which the Administration had applied.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your very obedient servant,
(Signed) " F. DE P. FALCONNET.
" Baron J. L. de Goldsmid, Chairman of the
Committee of Mexican Bondholders."

The Hamburgh mail brings the rate of exchange o❑
London last Tuesday at 13 6, being the same as pre-
viously. Bills were offering. Coffee and Wheat were firm.
At Amsterdam on the 19th inst. there was no para.
cular change in Dutch Stock. Spanish and Mexican
were slightly lower.
There is a rumour that the increase in the gold held
by the Bank of England, as will appear by the weekly
statement in this evening's Gazette, will be 432,0001.
We merely give this as an on dit.
The Stock Market has been a little weaker, owing to
the increased supply for Transfer. There is, however,
nothing against the Funds, and the reported intention of
the directors to lend money on them at 2f instead of
3 per cent, confirmed yesterday afternoon, is favour-
able to the maintenance of prices, although the
positive advantage is small considering that any one
could go into Lombard-street and get loans at that
charge, or even 24 on Consols. We shall see ere the
Transfer books close whether discounts likewise will
be reduced. The Paris Bourse was not quite so high
yesterday. Consols realise 98/ for Transfer, and 984 io
99 for Account. The New Three-and- a-Quarter per Cents.
have been quoted 99i to 4, and the Three per Cents.
98 to 4. Bank Stock has risen to 215 and 215 i. Ex-
chequer-bills are 525. to 565., and India Bonds 60s. to
639. premium.
Foreign Securities are generally very firm. Mexican
must again be excepted, however, being at 23i to
Brazilian Old Stock has risen to 934 and 94. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 214. but are no 20/ to 21,
and the Three per Cents. 39/ to 401. Dutch Two-and-
a-Halt per Cents. bring 59/, and Russian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. 1034 to 4.
Railway Shares have been at fuller prices again, and
with a good deal doing in them. Aberdeen have been
in request, and North-Western, Lancashire and York-
shire, South-Eastern, Great Northern, and Chester
and Holyhead have attracted attention. East Anglian
are scarcely so good, or Eastern Counties. Foreign
Shares are steady.
Gold Mine Shares are quoted 14 to 14 premium for
Ages Fria; I to 4 premium for Nouveau Monde; and
par to 4 premium for Ave Maria and West Mariposa.
Tnc Agua Fria, and other companies not licensed,
through Mr. Hoffman, state that they hold their leases
direct from Colonel Freemont, and in the case of the
Ague the property is actually located.

Tna UNIVERSITY or DUBLIN.—By the demise of
the King of Hanover, the Chancellorship of this Institution
incomes vacant. The post is an honorary one, of course,
and, like those of Oxford and Cambridge, usually holden by
some eminent personage. The Duke of Wellington is Chan-
cellor of Oxford, and the Prince Consort of Cambridge.
Perhaps Trinity College, Dublin, could not find a more ap-
propriate successor to the late King than the Earl of Rosse,
although that distinguished nobleman was not educate t at
the institution in question. The Earl of Rosse is a Graduate
of Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was first class in
mathematics in lto22.—Advertiser.

DEATH OE A WELL-KNOWN CHARACTER.—SUCK
of our readers who have been in the habit of crossing
Waterloo-bridge must have observed an old man, named
Austin, who for about thirty years kept the " Happy
Family ," close to the gate on the Surrey side. About a
week ago the poor old man, who is said to have been the
originator of this class of itinerant menageries, was taken so
ill as to be unable to leave his bed, and he expired on Wed-
nesday last.
