MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

- The English Stock market looks better this morning,
and there is a rally in the quotations, the accounts from
Chagres stating that three millions of dollars had within
a week or two been conveyed across the isthmus; while
the West India mail steamer brings to Southampton
nearly 300,0001. The id. a, too, that the Greek affair
will be early settled, seems more prevalent. Consols
have realised 95* to 951, being now 95k. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 974 to 98; and the
Three per Cent. 951 to 1. Bank Stock is steady, at

In the Foreign Market there is a rally in Peruvian
Bonds, bat the state of the Republic as advised in the
accounts received to-day continued unsettled. There is
a strong party here supporting the market. The Active
Bonds have been 731 to 741, and the Deferre 1 32i
to 33 Equador Stock has been quoted 34, and Mexican
Bonds have realised 291. Russian Scrip has been is to
11 prem. Dutch Four per Cents are 86* to f. Spanish
Five per Cents have realised 17* to
The Railway Share Market is looking up this morn-
ing, and although there is not a large business doing,
prices are generally higher.
The Railway Circular brings strong charges against
the Money, Market Examiner, and in the folllowing
terms:—

" Let us state plain facts. This paper was established
ostensibly for the elucidation of the true condition of
the public pecuniary investments. It commenced with
fair seeming, and won a degree of confidence with
some men by a show of truth. Such was its policy
in its origin. Trading subsequently on its reputation, it
has jesuitically blended truth with falsehood, regardless
of any interests but those of its conductors. Its prin-
cipal contributor, after confounding the commercial
Argus of Printing-house-square, was detected in his act,
and henceforward set up a legerdemain which none
should understand or decipher save himself and his part-
ners in their speculations on the gullibility of railway
investers. To use the words of the satirist, its asser-
tions have been both true and new, but unhappily those
which are true are not new, and those which are new
are not true."

In consequence of some misunderstanding having
taken place with respect to that portion of the report of
the B and of Health relating to intramural interments
which points to the expediency of a general cemetery
on a large scale, removed from the metropolis, we think
it right to state that neither the members of the Board of
Health nor the Government hold themselves at all re-
stricted to the 'plan of a single burying-place to this vast
city.—Sunday Paper,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 4,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken on sreculation, and 500 for export, and prices of
American were in favour of buyers. Among the sales
were 100 Pernam and Maranbam, at 60. to 64d.; 50
Bahia, 7,,t 6il3d. to 6d.; 50 Egyptian, at 7d. to 7d ; and
200 Surat, at 41d. to 40. per lb.—Railway Shares were
rather firmer.

The Corn Trade is dull again, and the arrivals are
increasing.
The steamer from America brings late advices, and of
a very satisfactory character upon all that relates to
commercial affairs. The money market was easy, and
the general trade of the country in a sound condition.
Not much was doing, however, in bread-stuffs, and cotton
was lower. This arose from the intelligence received
from England. Freights were without alteration, and
the exchange on London was 109 k to and rather
heavy. The letters are expected to be delivered this
afternoon.

The Severn steamer, from the West Indies, has ar-
rived seseral days earlier than was expected. The ge-
❑eral tenor of the news from our colonies is to the effect
that the weather had, i❑ some places, been too dry, and
that Lusiness was rather inactive ; but there was, ma-
nifestly, less political rancour, and a strong disposition
to rush vigorously the cultivation of new staples, and
particularly cotton. Jamaica was quiet and healthy, and
various expedients were talked of for fostering com-
merce, including the substitution cf direct taxation
for part of the customs duties. In Barbadoes copious
showers fell just before the date of the present advices,
and they were greatly needed. A new bank had been
established in Antigua.
The information received at Jamaica from Hayti was
very unpromising, and the merchants were sadly ha-
rassed by the proceedings of the new Imperial Govern.
;milt on the one band, and the neighbouring republic on
the other.

One or two curious paragraphs appear in the West
Indian papers, copied from United States journals. First,
it is asserted that three provinces adjoining Pernambuco
are to be erected into a kingdom, of which Prince Join-
'dile will be the king. It is admitted, however, that
such a measure would be highly unpopular and danger-
ous. Secondly, we are assured that Brazil and Paraguay
intend to declare war against Buenos Ayres, and that a
large body of Brazilian troops had been stationed at
San Garrini.

Frankfort accounts of the Ist instant quote Austrian
Metallics 814, and Spanish Three per Cents. 284. At
Amsterdam the home Funds were well support-d, but
Foreign Stocks were quiet, and Peruvian a shade lower.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 55 to 55 1-16.
The following information, upon the state of the Wine
trade, is forwarded by Messrs. Walter, Howell, and
Hale:—

" Port—ln low-priced Port wines we have a demand
with a decreasing stock. The actual stock of Port
wines in Villa Nova, adapted for export to Europe, is as
follows : Stock on the 31st of December, 1844,
137,121 pipes ; 1845, 127,375 pipes ; 1846, 113,128
pipes ; 1847, 107,745 pipes; 1848, 104,944 pipes; 1849,
82,964, showing a decrease in stock of 54,157 pipes in
five years."
" Sherry—The market remains unaltered from our
last. Clean low-priced wines are particularly in-
quired after."
