RUSSIA.

The Ostsee Zeitung states that the unfavourable
reception of Prince bcnwAnTzErtnuan, the Austrian
Minister, by the Emperor of RUSSIA. at Warsaw, was
not so much occasioned by any disapprobation felt by,
the CZAR to the policy of Austria as by a cause per-
sonal to himself. The Emperor of AUSTRIA was in.
vited to Warsaw to meet his Imperial MAJESTY,
and accepted the invitation ; the Emperor of
RUSSIA was, therefore, both surprised and dis-
pleased when Prince SCHWARTZENBURO arrived
bearing a letter of apology for the EMPEROR'S
absence.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 3,000 bales, and comprised 2,500 American,
100 Pernam, &v., at lid. to 74t5.; 200 Bahia, at 7id.;

good business wits done, at firm quotations.
The Corn ',Market to-day has been very quiet. The
arrivals of foreign wheat are 13,620 quarters, and of
English only 1,720 quarters.
In the markets for Colonial and Foreign Produce, a
good general business has been trrnseeted this week, but
some concession in price has had to be made upon
sugar, coffee, and two or three other articles, the
arrivals being large. Shippers have operated taller
more freely, as the demand on the Continent is in-
cre ising. The large- wool auctions have commenced,
and 46,000 bales are advertised. The attendance is
good, and the biddings are tolerably spirited.
It appears, by the St. Louis papers, that the whole
western country is just beginning to feel the effects of
the failure of the wheat crop of last year. In Illinois,
not more than one. third of a crop was raised, and in ether
states the deficiency was very great. The interior is
comparatively bare of breadstuff's, and it is expected
that many steam-boats employed on the western
rivers in the transportation of produce will soon
be laid up, on account of the absence of business.
Many flouring mills at the west have stopped
for the want of grain to grind, and will probably re-
main so until the next harvest comes in. This
state of things, in connexion with the enormous emi-
gration to California from the new states of the west,
have been the causes of the limited trade this year, ar.d
the disappointment experienced by our merchants, in
not realising returns fur their over-due demands. Emi-
grants from the west to California have taken immense
amounts of gold, and merchants and others in the
country have, it is stated, departad from their legitimate
business, and Made advenlures to California, taking not
only all their entire capital, and means belonging to
others, but have involved themselves Fo deeply in debt
that the most favourable returns will hardly suffice to
extricate their embarrassments.

The committee of Mexican Bondholders have pub-
lished their report concerning Mr. W. P. Robertson's
mission and arrangement, and it may be stated iu general
terms that they disapprove of the mode in which the cot-
ton licences were sold, and doubt whether the amount
obtained was adequate, while they consider that the pay-
ment of various expenses incurred is contrary to Mr.
Robertson's original agreement, viz., to depend upon the
success of bis mission, although they recommend
a liberal interpretation of that agreement. The new
proposal of the Mexican Government, as far as we can
judge, the committee very properly regards with disap-
probation. To allow .of the cutting down of the in-
terest to three per cent. in perpetuity would be hold-
ing out a premium to the future violation of engag?ments.
The prccito bearings of the last proposals of the
Mexican Government are thus summed up:—
Art. 1. Reduces the interest to 3 per cent. in perpe-
tuity; and
Art. 2. Prescribe that the present Five per Cent.
Builds shall be given up, and exchanged for Three per
Cents.

In the Convention it was proposed to reduce the rate
of interest r 0 3i per cent., fur ten years, ending Ist Ja-
nuary, 1859.
Arr. 3. Offers in satisfaction of all arrears of interest,
including the dividend of Ist July next:—
