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 713. to 841-d., 100 Egyptian at
lid. to Sid., and 300 Surat at 4-td. to si-el. per lb. The
market was heavy.—Railway Shares were quiet, but the
market closed flatly.

The public Wool sales commence on the 15th of not

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 for 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 cf the Bill,
and a direct tax is levied for its liquiastion.
This matter illustrates clearly the importance of pro-
hibiting, by constitutional enactment.s, 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 Havannah under date of the 7th
inst., complains of the measures " resorted to in this city
to induce our merchants to send out their vessels hero 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 3/. 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 2/. 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."
The Mexican accounts state—

" A new order of things is pervading here. The
watchwcrds of the Administration, and of all true
hearted and patriotic Mexicans, now are Yamos
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 as.all
him. This to be expected. The number of aspirants
for power here is as great as in the United States; and
here, as 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 dictatorially. If he was less firm, they would
accuse him of being inert and inefficient. But all this
opposition will end in froth and bubble. He is a
• t man and a patriot, and will be sustained by the
just
people. Pronunciamientos against him and his acts will
be as foolish and as futile as those of Wendell Phillips,
Garrison, and Co., in the United States. The staunch
men of the country are with him—the true patriots are
with him—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—her 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 rival nation, or relapse into a military monarchical
despotism. The Church see, and the men of property
see, his policy is the true policy for the preservation of
their just rights; and the people see that the same policy
vsill.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."
In the Amsterdam Stock Market on the 27th instant,
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were quoted 57 7-16.
Mexican Bonds were at 32 11-16.
The English Funds have been quiet, but there is a
tolerably firm market. Consols bring 964 for Trans-
fer and Account; Exchequer-bills are 50s. to 534. 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 1. 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 39i to 394. Portuguese
Four per Cents. are 344, being higher. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 19i g. Venezuela-Deferred are 12i
In Shares there is not a great deal doing, but prices
are fairly supported.

OPENING OF THE EXIIIBITION.—It is earnestly to
be hoped that arrangements will be made throughout the
metropolis to render Thursday next a general holiday. Such
would be not only gratifying to the mass of her Majesty's
lieges in the capital, but would be a splendid welcome to our
foreign visitors, and a mark of the popular recognition of the
great industrial celebration.

__EPS.ESENTATION OF NORTii HANTS.—It is said
,hat Lord Henry Cholmondeley will come forward in con-
unction with Mr. Portal, on the Conservative interest, as a
candidate for the representation of the northern division of
Hampshire, in the place of the present Speaker of the House
of Commons, who it is expected will he elevated t 9 the peer-
ate.—Salisbury Journal.
