MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady,
and firm; prices of American and Surat were nearly id.
per lb. higher. 700 American and 800 Surat were taken
on speculation. The sales comprised 5,000 American,
400 Pernam and Maranham at sid. to 64d., 250
Egyptian at sicl. to 7d., and 2,000 Surat at 21d. to 3id .
per lb.—The share Market was again very firm, and
closed at rather higher prices.
There is no foreign news of importance this morn-
ing. The Stock Markets abroad were firm at the
latest date.

We have the following copy of a memorial to the
Cortes drawn up and presented at Madrid by Mr.
Weissweiller, on behalf' of the committee of the
Spanish bondholders:—

" The Chamber of Deputies being again assembled,
the undersigned delegates of the committee of Spanish
bondholders in London has the honour to approach, with
the moat profound respect, that enlightened legislative
body, for the purpose of calling their attention to an
omission of serious prejudice to the national credit ex-
isting in the law lately promulgated for the settlement
of the public debt of Spain. This consists in the 2d ar-
ticle of the said law, which, whilst directing that the
overdue and unpaid interests of the Active Debts, are to
be converted into Deferred Three per Cent. Debt, being
previously reduced one-half, does not decide the fate re-
served for the other half of the said interests. It beidg
impossible that the law intended the gratuitous reduction
to one-half its value of a legitimate and sacred property,
distributed among thousands of families, it can only be
attributed to the desire of hereafter rendering full justice,
and the omission must be ascribed to the circumstance
of the mode in which the other moiety of those inte-
rests are to be provided for not having been resolved
upon; for those interests form a credit of so sacred and
privileged a nature against the public treasury and in
favour of those who have not received the value in
effective, as they ought to have done, i❑ accordance
with the conditions of the loans from which the claims
emanate, and which are so much the more deserving of
attention as they were contracted for abroad for the pur-
pose of aiding the Spanish nation in moat critical cir-
cumstances.

" Her Majesty's Government, being convinced of the
truth of this, havo just presented to the Cortes a modifi-
cation of the said law, in the part relating to the over-
due interests of the Home Debt called Corriente del
cinco por ciento a papel,' proposing their conversion into
Deuda amortizable.'

" Whilst this just reparation is made with respect to
the said debt the reduction of a half of the coupons of
the Active stock is nevertheless maiatained, which has
given rise to just reclamation• at the meetings held by
creditors, especially in England, where public promises
are held in great respect, and where the religious ob-
servance of good faith has elevated publio credit to a
most enviable height.
" For these reasons, and not being able to persuade
myself that in stipulating the said reduction the Go-
vernment have allowed themselves to be influenced by
the circumstance that the greater part of the claimants
are foreigners, who have lent the capital from which the
overdue interest arises, I venture to solicit the Chamber
of Deputies with entire confidence and with the greatest
respect, to take into their serious consideration this just
reclamation, and to decide about the other half of the
above-mentioned interests, ordering them to be made
good in the Deferred Debt of the Three per Cents.
the same as is decreed for oue-half of them in the ex-
pressed law.
" By a similar measure the Congress will most effec-
tually contribute to the permanent restoration of public
credit, which is now so depressed by the omission in
question—an omission which has given rise to deep
sensation and displeasure both in and out of Spain,
(Signed) "DANIEL WEISSWEILLER,
" The Delegate of the English Committee
of Spanish Bondholders.
" Madrid, Nov. 11, 1851."

We regret to observe that an objection has arisen to
the stamping of the Bonds by the committee, and trust
it may not retard the conversion.
There has been a very large money business transacted
in Stocks, and the decided rise of the last day or two
has brought for ward a fuller supply. There is nothing
otherwise either in the position of home or foreign
affairs to act unfavourably upon the market. Consols
have been 98i to 99k, and are now 98.1. for Transfer.
Time bargains have been entered into at 98i to 99k,
and the present rates are 98i to 99. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 99k to I.
Bank Stock has been supported at 2141 to 215 k. East
India Stock is steady, at 2641. Exchequer-bills are
525. to 555. premium.
Foreign Securities have been more animated. Spa-
nish Five per Cents. being 20i to 21, and the Three per
Cents. 40 to 40k. Mexican Bonds have been quoted 23i
to 24, being a slight rally. Brazilian are still advancing,
having touched 93 and 93k. Sardinian Old Bonds are
831 to 84. Dutch Four per Cents. are 90 to 90a; and
Russian Five per Cents. 1121. Venezuela are steady at
36 to 361.
There is a lively market for Railway Shares, and
prices are nearly all looking up. We notice a rise in
Great Western, Aberdeen, Great Northern, South-
Western, Midland, &e. The Foreign Lines are good
also. .

The advices from New York this week confirm the
expectation that owing to remittances having been post-
poned during the recent money pressure, the shipment of
specie would now be proportionably augmented. In addi-
tion to the 195,000/. received by the present packet, it ap-
pears that 100,0001. may be looked for by the Pacific, which
will probably be announced to-morrow. At the same time a
sufficient surplus from the California arrivals remains at
New York to keep up the feeling of restored confi-
dence. Stocks continue steady, and the lower de-
scriptions, such as Indiana, Illinois, &c., show a
considerable advance. The accounts from California
are a fortnight later, and, coupled with those just received
from Australia, are calculated to make a strong impression.
Although the general production of gold had largely in-
creased, the season had been very unfavourable from want of
water, and hence there vas an expectation of still greater
success after the commencement of the approaching rains.
Among the most remarkable of the new discoveries were a
rich vein of gold bearing quartz within the city of San
Francisco and an extensive silver mine at Sonora, about 250
miles east from San Francisco, the specimens of which are
alleged to give upwards of 401. in value for the ton weight
of ore. The vein of gold quartz in San Francisco was
found at a depth of 60 feet by some labourers digging a well ;
it is about 13 inches wide, with the particles of metal visible
t 9 tine ualad eye.
