MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, but
there was no further change in prices. Sales about
4,000 bales, all to the trade, and nearly all Ame-
rican.-There was a good market for the heavy shares,
and the scrip of the new was also more buoyant.-

The hasty glance which we had yesterday of a few of the
mercantile letters received from the Brazils precluded a refer.
ence to a topic of some importance, namely, the probable
course that would be adopted with respect to the right of
search, the treaty for -which purpose, we believe, has already
ceased. It is understood that the Brazilian Govern-
ment intend to take the whole right of search
upon its own hands, and if private information is to be be-
lieved, with a sincere desire on its part to put down, by every
possible means, the inhuman traffic. The mercantile classes
of the Brazils were extremely sore at the policy of this Go-
vernment with respect to the sugar question, and, as might
have naturally been expected, British manufactures were
looked upon with considerable hesitation.
We may notice the calling in of Exchequer-bills to a very
large amount, issued for public works, such bills to be received
on the 17th of next month, when interest will cease. There
is to be no alteration in the rate of interest payable upon new
bills, which may be taken in lieu of those cancelled. In the
present state of the market for the unfunded debt, it is not
likely that many holders of securities so called in will take
money, especially as the rate of interest continues on first
class securities not higher than 2jeper cent.
Dates to the 26th of March have been received from the
Cape of Good Hope, but they convey nothing later respect-
ing the affairs of the frontier or Natal.
Accounts from Algoa Hay state that the Homer was load-
ing fast at the Bird Islands, having upwards of 100 tons of
guano on board in the short time she has been there, besides
discharging her ballast. It speaks well of the anchorage for
safety and facility for loading. Captain Duthie, of the
Harriet, has been down to the islands, and speaks most
highly of them ; he says he would sooner load there twice or
thrice that once at Ichaboe, he having loaded at the latter
place.
The Funds have been very firmly maintained again to-day,
and this too with a comparatively dull market. Consols have
been 9914% for present Transfer, and the same for Time.

quotations, especially of the old lines, are fully supported.
