THE MONEY MARKET.

A new dilemma is said to present itself in regard to the
payments out of the West India Compensation Fund. It
appears that several of the parties who originally disputed par-
ticular claims have since come to an agreement respecting
them, so as to cause the opposition to be withdrawn, and to
render the' claimants eligible to .receive the amount represented
by those claims. But these sums, under the first arrange-
ment made by the Government, have been paid over to the
Accountant General, and laid out in the purchase of stock in
the name of that functionary. The existing difficulty is that
of determining by what authority the Accountant General will
be justified in paying back that money, or re-transferring any
of the stock so invested. Opinions are said to be much
divided upon this point, and some we have heard expressed go
to this extent—that a new Act of Parliament will be neces-
sary ; the existing Act not having provided any authority for
this purpose. This, if true, will be a very serious grievance
for the claimants, who have imagined, after haying removed or
compromised the opposition to them, that nothing more re-
mained for them to do but the simple receipt of the money,
but who are now likely to incur a further delay of several
months. With regard to the proceedings with the unopposed
claims, we hear no complaints lately, an the Commissioners
on their part appear to be executing their functions with a
proper degree of zeal and activity.
The conversion of the Cortes' Bonds is not so near com-
pletion as is generally imagined. In Paris the business of the
commission is much in arrear, and in Amsterdam still more,
owing to the great number of small bonds held there, and the
desire of the parties to have them exchanged for others of
equal amount. In many cases, too, objections are made to
leaving the bonds with the Commissioners for the time requi-
site to effect the conversion. In London, where the business
was carried on for the most part through the medium of
bankers and merchants, accustomed .to the confidence with
which large transactions are constantly carried on, no such
difficulty was ever started, and that part of the conversion to
be effected here is consequently in a state of greater forward-
ness than in any other part of Europe. From the causes
stated, it is probable that two or three months more may elapse
before such returns can be made from Paris and Amsterdam,
'as will enable the Commissioners here to report to their Go-
vernment on the result of their labours, and to ascertain the
amount of debt which has been created under the conversion.
