MONE ?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
6d.' 30 Egyptian, at lid. ; 200 Bahla,
at sd. ;
200 Surat, at aid. to 4d. ; and the rest American, at
4id. to 6id. per pound.— Shares generally were very
good, and a considerable business was done. Chester and
Holyhead were 7i ; Eastern Counties, 12i ; Dublin and
Cashel, ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 16i; Great Western,
Half, 75i ; Birmingham Quarter, 27i ; Croydon, 19i ; South

The steamer Tweed, from the West Indies, bringing also
the Mexican mail, furnishes_ the following dates :--Jamaica
and Barbadoes, April Demerara, April 6 ; Tri.
nidad, April 4 ; Vera Cruz, April 2. The accounts
read better in respect to the weather, though in
Jamaica there was no chance of the *jury 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 labourtrs, 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 mom! 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 destination, owing to the imperfect regulations for their con-
veyance in our cruisers. At Barbadoes the mills were in full
work, 44d 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
mat safely* muted $34,

The Consol Market has been firm, and there is an improve
ment upon yesterday's closing rates of A per cent., viz. t
99/ 4 for Money, and 99a 4 for Account. Exchequer Bills
have been steady at 755. to 775. premium. The New Three-
and-a- Half per Cents. have realised 102/ to i ; the Reduced
101 A to / ; and the Three per Cents 984 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 234 / for Five
per Cents., and 34a to i for the Three per Cents. The Portu-
guese Converted Stock is at 45 to 46. Mexican have been
much the same, but certainly noUrigher. The Actives have
realised 35/ to i, and the Three p? Cents. 15/. Danish bonds
are firm at 88. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 61i to *,
and Belgian at 102/.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.
IMPORTANT FROM HAYTI.
SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 7.—The Tweed Royal Mail Com-
pany's steam-ship, Captain R. Sharpe, is just arrived from
the West Indies and Mexico, bringing sixty-four passengers
and invalids. Her dates of departure are as follow :—Tam-
pico 21st March, Vera Cruz 2d April, Honduras 22d March,
Havannah 11th April (met there the Tiviot), Nassau 13th
April, Bermuda 22d April (met there the Medway), Deme-
rara 6th April, Barbadoes Bth April, Grenada 9th April, Tri-
nidad 4th April, Jamaica Bth April, St. Thomas's 15th April.
and Shagres 12th March.
The Tweed brings 263,800 dollars, 55,719 of which are for
the Mexican dividends. She also brings ninety-seven serous
of cochineal, seventeen bales of gum, and a quantity of pa
dust. Also about 7001. worth of pearls, consigned to Paris.
It is thought, notwithstanding there is not sufficient de;llars
necessary for the dividends, that the Thames, expected about
the sth of July, will bring a very large consignment.
The Tweed experienced head winds the whole passage:
had not this been the case she would have been here two
days earlier. The Tweed was also detained at Bermuda
coaling.
At Bermuda—Admiral Sir Charles Adam, in the Illus-
trious, and the Inconstant, and Euriclice frigate. The Warp.
Albatross, and Ringdove, were fitting out to suppress the
slave trade on the coast of Africa. The Pique was at Vero.
Cruz.
The Royal Mail steamer, Tiviot, with the Ist of March
mails, arrived at Kingston (Jamaica) on the Ist April.
The Royal Mail Company's steamer, Thames, Captain P•
Hasle, which should have arrived at Kingston (Jamaica).
from Havannah on the 3d or 4th of April, reached the Com-
pany's wharf on Sunday, the 7th of April, at 2 P.m.. She
had been detained at Bermuda more than two days extra, in
consequence of severe gales there blowing, and which had
done some damage. The port pilot refused to take out the
Thames until the gales had much moderated,
The following lamentable account of the insurrection at
Hayti we copy from the Jamaica Gazette of the Bth April
The French brig Adelina, Captain Tahet, arrived in this
port on Saturday evening, bringing disastrous intelligence,
and no less than 140 passengers, including 25 children—all
persons of colour, and compelled to fly from their native lands,
to seek refuge under the flag of foreigners.
" Our readers remember that the new President, Herard,
had marched with a large army for St Domingo city, tq quell
the insurrection in the eastern portion of the island. Tak-
ing advantage of the absence of the General and troops, the
black people rose en masse on Sunday, the 31st ultimo, and
commenced an iniscrimine slauhter of the brown pou-
lation. On Wednesday the National Guards, of the town of
Aux Cayes, went out with two pieces of ordnance to suppress
the rebellion and punish the rebels, but, as we have learned.
their own General Commanding delivered up the cannons W
the blacks, and joined them himself. Thus strengthened
they drove the National Guard back to Aux Cayes, entered
the town, and commenced a relentless butchery—murdering
every brown person, without regard to sex or age. The
wretched inhabitants had no means of defence, no refuge►
save on board the few foreign ships lying in the harbour--
French, American, and English. Into these they crowded-
in confused and huddled batches—men, women, and chil-
dren literally covering the decks, and exhibiting a distress-
ing spectacle of misery and sudden destitution. DA the decked vessels were not sufficient to hold the
number of wretched refugees ; the port was dotted
over with small open boats, each containing as many human
beings as it could hold, who dared not remain on land te
await certain massacre, and yet could have little hope of
escape by sea. Captain Tahet, a man worthy of his ceurtrY
and of humanity, could not for a moment think of leaving to
a miserable fate those who had fled to his protection and the
guardianship of the tricolour. He was bound for France.
and had but provisions sufficient for his crew. To Cuba, Or
Porto Rico, which would have been on his route, he could
not bring his poor proteges, for there they would not have
been received. With disinterested generosity, therefore, he
sailed for Jamaica, and here has safely landed his unhappy
freight. Most of these made their escape from shore without
any other property than their wearing apparel—some indeed
with scarcely that. At eight o'clock on Thursday evening
last Captain Tahet set sail, and at that time the work of
blood was going' on, and the port crowded in the manner
mentioned. We shall probably have some of the other
vessels with the refugees arriving here to-day. When the
Adelina left, her commander had just got his letters from St-
Domingo; and, though rumours were rife, there was no cer-
tain information of any encounter having taken place be-
tween Herard and the Spanish revolters."

THE STATE TRIALS.
FURTHER POSTPONEMENT.
DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—For nearly an hour before the time
their Lordships usually sit, the Court of Queen's Bench wet
this morning crowded by the public and those members of
the junior bar who had motions to make in the exercise of
that precedence of their elder brethren which is conceded to
them on the two last days of term. The public were, no
doubt, attracted by the prevalent rumour that something de-
finite would be stated by the Court this morning in reference
to the new trial motion, and they consequently evinced much
interest and anxiety upon the subject; but amongst the bet-
ter informed and more passive gentlemen of the bar a feeling
prevailed that their Lordships Would in all probability be un-
able to harmonize their supposed conflicting opinions, and than
very intricate and opposite data on which the motion rested.
without the aid of other judicial advice, and fuller time for
consultation. Still there was doubt as to the result (eve%
amongst those who most confidently entertained that Vies)
which the knowledge that their Lordships had come (1002
to Court at the unusually early hour of 10 o'clock tbr the pure'
pose, as it was said, of consulting in chamber on tbt merits of
the motion, contributed to increase.
Mr. Justice Burton took his seat on the bench about half-
past eleven o'clock, and proceeded to hear the motions of the
Junior bar. In a short time after Judges Perrin and CranlP:,
ton entered, wearing the appearance (it was remarked) 01
men who had been reeently engaged in warm discussion.
The Bar had scarcely made their bow to their LordshiPe,
when " silence" was again called for the Lord Chief Justice-
At this time the Court was 'very full. All the law-officers
and counsel engaged for the Crown, Mr. Kemmis. the
Crown solicitor, some of the counsel for the defence, an-.
two of the traverssrs only (Mr. Steele and Mr. Tiernef,
were in their usual places.
When the Lord Chief Justice entered, a member of 04
outer bar was addressing the Court in support of some ortw
nary motion, which his Lordship listened to for a kw
minutes. As another gentleman was about to address t°B
Court,
His LORDSHIP, interrupting him, and addressing the
Attorney-General, said—" Mr. Attorney, lam sorry to tell .
that the Court find that they cannot give judgment in I°'
case until next term."
"The case," though not more specifically designatel,,,,bl.
his Lordship, was instantly understood to be that of "The
Queen v. Daniel O'Connell and others." Public eurioei.
was satisfied, and in a few moments the Court was comPani
tively empty. Trinity Term commences on the 22d inst.
