MOVE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was rather a large business done in Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, 10,000 bales changing hands. Prices were
id. to id. higher than on Friday, and the market was ex-
tremely firm. The sales included 700 Maranham, at sid. to
6id..'! 30 Egyptian, at lid. ; 200 Bahia, at sid,
200 Surat, at 3id. to 4d. ; and the rest A.inerican, at
4id. to 6id. per pound.— Shares gent-rally were very
good, and a considerable business *„as done. Chester and
Ilolyhead were ; Eastern Counties, 12i • Dublin and
Cashel, 4i ; EdinburPt and Glasgow, 14 ; Great Western,
Half, 75i ; P.-rminghlre Quarter, 27i ; Croydon, 19i ; South
Western, 84i ; North British, 3 ; North Midland, 91i ; Paris
and Lyons, 3i ; Do. and Orleans, 37i ; South-Eastern, 38i.
The steamer Tweed, from the West Indies, bringing also
the Mexican mail, furnishes the following dates :—Jamaica
and Barbadoes, April 8 Demerara, April 6 ; Tri-
nidad, April 4 ; Vera druz, April 2. The accounts
read better in respect to the weather, though in
Jamaica there was no chance of the injury occasioned
by the long and severe drought being to any extent re-
paired. The peasants were quiet, but the more recently ar-
rived Africans seemed the least inclined to work, and
prowl about, it is stated, content with an occa-
sional job from the more industriaus labourers, longer
resident in the colony. The evil appears also to rest
partly with the Legislature, which had made no provision
for educating or improving the moral habits of the new
population.
The Trinidad papers have some very strong remarks upon
the subject of the condition to which the Africans liberated
at St. Helena have been reduced, before arriving at their des
tination, owing to the imperfect regulations for their con-
veyance in our cruisers. At Barbadoes the mills were in full
work, and there had been seasonable rains.

The Tweed brings a smaller remittance from Mexico
(55,000 dollars) than many had expected ; but it seems
there is every probability of further amounts coming steadily
to hand, so that we presume about half a dividend may be
most safely counted on. •

The Consol Market has been firm, and there is an improVl
ment upon yesterday's closing rates of h per cent., viz. t
99/ for Money, and 994 4 for Account. Exchequer Bill'
have been steady at 755. to 775. premium. The New Three-
and-a• Half per Cents. have realised 1021 to ; the Reduced
1014 to / ; and the Three per Cents 98i to 99. Bank Stock
has been marked 195 to 196, which is not quite so good.
Nothing particular has occurred in the Foreign Mar-
ket, but Spanish Bonds are rather firmer, being 231 / for Five
per Cents., and 344 to 4 for the Three per Cents. The Portu-
guese Converted Stock is at 45 to 46. Mexican have been
much the same, but certainly not higher. The Actives have
realised 35/ to and the Three per Cents. 15/. Danish bonds
are firm at 88. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 61k to*,
and Belgian at 102/.
The Railway Shares are firm, with a fair business doing.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.
IMPORTANT FROM HAYTI.
SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 7.—The Tweed Royal Mail Co
pany's steam-ship, Captain R. Sharpe, is just arrived fr_°_,
the West Indies and Mexico, bringing sixty-four passe„,l3g.:.
and invalids. Her dates of departure are as follow
pico 21st March, Vera Cruz 2d April, Honduras 22d ?stage,
Havannah 11th April (met there the Tiviot), Nassau

rara 6th April, Barbadoes Bth April, Grenada 9th April,
nidad 4th April, Jamaica Bth April, St. Thomas's 15th AP
and Shagres 12th March.
The Tweed brings 263,800 dollars, 55,719 of which are for
00,
the Mexican dividends. She also brings ninety-seven Orel&
of cochineal, seventeen bales of gum, and a quantity of r
dust. Also about 7001. worth of pearls, consigned to Fart 4
It is thought, notwithstanding there is not sufficient doni
necessary for the dividends, that the Thames, expected abe
the sth of July, will bring a very large consignment.
The Tweed experienced head winds the whale pao;
