LATER. FROM AMERICA.

By an arrival at Liverpool we have received New York
journals to the 12th of February. The last accounts from
Washington stated that the Committee of the Senate on the
foreign relations had reported on the Texian question. The
report is very long, but the importance of the document lies
in its conclusion, which is as follows :
" The Committee respectfully recommend the adoption of
the following resolutions :
" Resolved—That the joint resolution from the House of
Representatives for the annexation of Texas to the United
States be rejected.
"` Resolved—That the several Bills and joint resolutions
originating In the Senate, the resolutions of sundry State
Legislatures, and the petitions and memorials ofmany citizens
of the United States, for and against the annexation of Texas
to this union, which have been referred to this Committee, do
lie upon the table.'"
The Committee consisted of Mr. Archer, of Virginia,
Chairman, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Berrien, Mr. Morehead, Mr.
Choate. Mr. Buchanan only dissented from the report. The
discussion was expected to commence immediately, and no
doubt appears to have been entertained of the adoption of the
above resolutions.
The money, stock, and commercial markets were In a
buoyant state. The New York Commercial Advertiser of the
11th of February says that the sales on the Stock Exchange
that day were to a large amount. Kentucky Sixes improved
; Illinois special bonds, ; Morris Canal, 1 ; Erie Railroad,
; Stonington Railroad, A ; Long iilarid Railroad declined,
; Norwich and Worcester, ; Carlton Co.,
EXCHANGE.—Foreign—Bills on London are in fair demand
at 109 i 1104. On France, sf. 234.

(From Pc Sun of Last N:glit,)
A fair business was done in Cotton at Liverpool on Satur-
day, at firm rates. Sales 5,000 bales, all to the trade. There
was a goad demand for Railway Shares, at steady prices.

There are no arrivals to-day from any quarter.
The Funds have been very firm again, Consols for transfer
being 99`%t to par, and for April, 1001/s to M. The premium
on Exchequer-bills is 635. to 665., being Is. higher. The
advices from Paris show that the reduction of the Five per
Cents. is fully expected to be carried out, but this is more
likely to influence the numerous French Railway Shares
held here, than to enhance the value of British securities
already high, and as to French Stock, the bargains here are
"few and far between." Bank Stock for Account has been
2141/ to 215. and India Stock, 284. India Bonds, under
10001., are 70s. premium. • . _

The foreign investments have been rather lively. Spanish
Actives have receded to 304 and 29%, but the Three per
Colts. continue at 411/s. Some interest is felt respecting the
decision on the su.pension of the sales of clergy lauds, but the
sales to-day are, no doubt, merely speculative, and to realise
profits. Portuguese Converted have been up to 68% and 69.
Brazilian New have been marked 8814, Chili= 101%,
Columbian 14%, and Mexican 36% to 36%. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are 63%, and Danish Bonds 90.
There has been a little flatness in some of the Railway
Shares, but the movement is not uniform, a few lines being
better.

ORTIN G INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTEKDAY.
CHESTER CUP.
There was a slight improvement in the betting on this
race, bat no striking change in the quotations. We need
only observe, therefore, that Cataract and Semiseria were in
fair demand, and so nearly level that two sovereigns were
taken for the choice of the horse in an even bet of four hun-
dred pounds. The Era has also in favour, and Obscurity,
albeit 22 to 1 was offered agst in one quarter, ave-
raged 18 to 1 until near the close, and was finally
backed for a small sum at 16 to 1. Zanoni and Winesour
were not in request, and of the newly-made favourite Yheo
mun-ac-Knuck, Lothing was said to fix a price. The mar.
ket prices at the break-up were as follows :-
8 to 1 ag,,t the three yrs old
11 to 1 agst Mr. W. Scott's Cataract
12 to 1 agst Mr. Jaques's Semiseria

DERBY,
The odds quoted against Forth's lot, Alarm, Idas, Cobweb
colt, Kedger, Weatherbit, Old England, Mentor, Annandale,
and the extreme outsiders were taaen in various amounts,
and in every instance offered subsequently. In the cases of
Clear-the-Way and Pantasa, the backers would have gone
on; the investments were not on an extensive scale. Closing
prices :

OAKS.
2,800 to 200 was laid agst Maid of Orleans (afterwards off.),
and the same odds taken rather freely about Miss Elis. Two
or three parties appeared anxious to lay against Lancashire
Witch, but no price was made.
