CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The ?ales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at about 20.000 bales, 11,500 of which were taken
by speculators. The sales comprised 15,000 Ameriean,
500 Pernam end Maranbam at 61d. to 62d., 600 Bahia
at 61c1., 1 200 Egyptian at bid. to bid., 2,000 Surat at
-lid. to 411., and 50 Sea Island at 11d. to ls. 04d. rer
lb. The mai ket was very active at fully previous rates.
—Railway Shares were much firmer.
In Mirk-lane today the arrivals of foreign Wheat
have been 5,280 quarters, and of Barley 6,090 quarters.
The business done this week in the colonial produce
markets has been extensive, and the quotations have
been materially higher for Coffee, in which a good deal
of speculation is carried on. Sugar, considering tle
full supply, has maintained its value well. Rice has
been firm, and also Saltpetre. In Spices a fair general
business has been done. Tea is in favcur, Tallow has
become firmer, and Cotton is brisk at fuller prices.
The letters and papers by the West India mail steamer
bring no news of general interest. Trade was dull, but
the crop prospects were encouraging. In Barbadoes-
plentiful showers had fallen.
It seems, by accounts received in the United States
from the Pacific, that the British man-of-war the
Herald, arrived at Mazatlan on the lath of November
last. The Herald is one of the vessels employed by the
English Government in the expedition in search of Sir
John Franklin and his daring crew. She proceeded as
far as 73 :10, !but could get no tidings of Sir John.
As yet, nothing has been done by the United States.
In answer to Lady Franklin's appeal, Mr. Clayton
made flattering promises, which were received eith
great enthusiasm in England, but which were
quietly backed out of. This must have been a cruel
disappointment to that lady. But ;she is idetermined
not to relax her efforts in the cause of her husband's
rescue. Since the unexpected return of Sir John Roes, her
exertions have been directed to the fitting out of other
expeditions to renew the search; and it is reported, that
if our national Government will do nothing in the matter,
she intends to embark for this country, and invest all the
means she possesses in fitting out one or two vessels for
that purpose.
It is stated in accounts from Brussels that the Belgian
Funds have now reached the point at which they stood
immediately prior to the breaking out of the French
revolution; whereas the French Renter are still 23 per
cent. under the values current at that period. In the
Amsterdam Bourse, on the sth instant, Dutch Two-and-
s-Half per Cents. were 55 5-16, with a slight tendency
to decline. At Berlin, on the Bth instant, Prussian
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 814.
The English Funds have been rather fluctuating, and
have not quite maintained the recent advance. There is
no other cause for this partial reaction, which, compared
with the recent advance, is really exceedingly trifling,
than the desire of parties who make handsome profits to
realise them, and this has brought money stock to
market. Consols have been 97} to * for Transfer, and
974 4 for Account. The New Three-and-a Quarter
per Cents. have been 994 to I, and the Three per
Cents. 974 to Bank Stock is steady, at 208 to 2084.
Exchequer- bills are 595. to 62s premium, and India
Bonds 995. premium.
In the Foreign Market likewise the quotations
are flatter, taking their tone from the English
funds. Spanish Five per Cents. are 194, and the Three
per Cents. 374. Portuguese Four. per Cents. have been
36 to Mexican have dropped to 294 4. There are
conflicting opinions as to the new plan of the Mexican
Government for an arrangement of its entire debt, but
that the activity displayed augurs well for an early
settlement few can doubt. There is an apparent dispo-
sition also to release the republic from the " farming "
system, and if the foreign creditors get 34 or even 8 per
cent, upon the capital of the debt, say, 10,250,0001., and,
aided by Lord Palmerston, retain their lien upon the
customs and silver duties, they will stand in an excellent
position. As the new Finance Minister proposes to do
nothing without the consent of the creditors, there is
every prospect of some arrangement. We -wish we
could say as much of the affair with Messrs. Schneider
and Co. We believe truly that the firm bass claim upon the
Mexican Government, but can in no sense understand
why the bondholders should suffer, and the remittances
that were paid to their agents in Mexico, Messrs. Man-
ning and Co., should be appropriated afterwards by
Messrs. Schneider to pay the debt alleged to be due to
them. The holders of the remanets of the dividend are
waxing very warm upon the subject, and we 'suppose
that the Court of Chancery will have to be appealed to
in the matter. The consular representative here of the
Mexican Government has called upon the creditors to
present the coupons to Messrs. Schneider, and
request payment of the balance, but we sus-
pect there is very little chance of the same being
discharged. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
55i, and Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 494.
The Railway Share Market has been firm for the bet-
ter class of shares. Brighton have been buoyant,
North-Western are looking up, Midland are much the
same. French Shares are well supported. Sambre
and Meuse are 24 I.
