gONEY MARKET.

(FROM VIZ TIMES. )
The intelligence received yesterday from the manufacturing
districts was on the whole unfavourable, though in some places
there are observed symptoms of returning activity. In Maccles-
field and its vicinity the distress appears to have reached a most
alarming height. Is Congleton, and within a mile and a half of
that town, it is said that 28 silk-factories are closed, and that
the rest are only working two or three days a-week. The bankers
in Macclesfield, it is said, thad refused any further advances on
the poor-rate, and the overseers in consequence had been compel-
led on one'occasion to keep the poor people who applied for re-
lief detained in the town-hall, they'sent to collect the rates
front the few individuals who were still able to pay them. Those
rates, though revently, doubled, were insufficient, and the sums
raised by private subscription were exhausted. This continuance
of distress is producing its natural effect in rendering italmost im-
possible to collect rents of any description, and in lessening the
Government revenue derived from consumption, the effect of
Which will no doubt be apparent at the period when the quarterly
itecounts are made up.
In the Stock Exchange, however, these gloomy accounts Miele
uo impression, but a disposition to improvement was, on the eon-
irary, observed in every description of security. The state of the
,circulation, especially now it is understood that the small notes
Are not to be withdrawn in Scotland, is considered by some of the
leading stockholders a power in favour of the funds more than
*uflicient to counteract the untoward circumstances that exist both
Of a political and financial nature. Trade, they say, is reduced
in extent, or carried on with one-third of the capital formerly
'ieqeisite ; and this, combined with the want of confidence in pri-
iate credit, leaves large capitals unappropriated, which can only
find investment in Government securitiee. Console yesterday
rose nearly one per cent., solely, in appearance, from the influence
of this' feeling. The closing price was 714.
The foreign end share markets experienced, as usual, the be- ,
wilt of II rise in Console, but the South American fends and
tuieeing shares were further acted upon by the favourable intel-
ligence from that part of the world. Thu Gaceta de Colombia
of the tt3tl►' of February, which is considered the organ of the
GOveinmeet, has published a statement to prove that the estimate
of the Minister 'of Finance of the expenditure of the Republic fur
the year 1826, is taken far too high, on account of its having been
calculated for a war establishment, which in the altered state of
the Republie, is no longer rendered necessary.
:The intelligence from Mexico was also encouraging as regards
its financial administration. It is said that a remittance of nearly
300,000 dollars has been shipped on board the Pyramus, the
irrivat of which may be expected in a few days, and is meant as
a provision fur the dividend due in October next. ArrangeMents,
.have been Made for shipping the. 'amount requisite for each divi-
'deinl, four months before the period of its becoming due in
Ergland.., It is alto ascertained, that the expedition against
Cuba, undertaken in conjunction by Mexico and Colombia,
is; to be abandoned. A resolution iu favour of it had passed
the Mexican Semite, but on its being sent to the, House,
of Representatives, the question was disposed of by,a vote
that it. was inexpedient to come to any decision, until
the. subject bad undergone deliberation at the Congress
about to assemble at Panama. Deputies from Colombia bad ar-
rived at Mexico to concert the plan of combined operations
against Cuba; but on account of the vote of the Lower Ilotse,
their representations had received no attention. In this way an
expedition, which was considered dangerous as well as expensive
and ill-timed, is likely to he laid aside.
The letters from the mining districts speak in more favonrable
terms of those undertakings which English capital has originated
there, and the great mine of Valenciana es said to have feeen eo far
drained of its water, that the ore raised from it was sufficient to
cover the expeeces
