MUNE AND CO ,ViISIEACIA.I,

sols being 994 to -I. The New .Three-and-a-Half per
Cents. were 103, and the Reduced Three per Cents. ral-
lied from 98; to 99 and 993. ._ . .
Spanish Bonds rallied a little before the- close—the
Five per Cents, bein,g 25} to a, and the Three per
1 Cents 36 to i. There were several bargains in Greek at
1471 to 15 . Brazilian were somewhat lower, being 794

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool Market. yesterday,
were 3,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken by speculators.
The market was healthy.—ln Shares there was not much
done, except in Manchester and Birmingham, and the French
lines. Chester and Holyhead were 64 ; Edinburgh and
Glasgow, 664 ; Great Western, Half, 721 ; North British,
3/. Os. 6. ; Paris and Lyons, 378 ; South-Eastern, New, 10.
The correspondence that has passed between Messrs.
Lizardi and the Committee of Spanish-Arnericam Bond-
holders upon the subject of the Mexican dividends, has
further excited the surprise and indignation of the
bondholders, and the refusal of the agentS to give
any information as to the funds in their hands, because
their constituent is the Government of Mexico, is a
contemptible subterfuge, of a piece with all their previous
doings. It has been well said that straightforward dealing
requires no concealment, and therefore, after the appropria
tion of 11,000% to their own commission, when of right the
amount should have gone to the dividends, even though sanc-
tioned by their unscrupulous employer in Mexico, we mtist
form our own inferences as to how far that principle
has been exemplified in the history of the present case. Ihe
agents have quite forgotten their promise to reconsider the
question of taking the 11,0001. for their own use, and we pre-
sume the Committee will now call a meeting on the subject.
The West India newspaper files do not bring accounts of
good weather in the parishes of Jamaica, so long afflicted
with drought, and previsions had become very scarce, so that
American supplies would be seasonable. It was hoped the
May season would bring the usual showers, but these would
not be likely to remedy the injury already done. More
immigrants had arrived from Africa..
Froni Guiana we learn that the labourers were much ex-
cited by the question raised as to the illegality of the titles
to the estates purchased by them with a joint fund, and
afterwards divided into small allotments.
The English Funds have been less buoyant, and there is a
slight reduction on yesterday's rates. Re quote Consols 998
to k for Money, and 99,1 to 4 for Account, which proves at
any rate that stock is scarce. The Commissioners have taken
Consols at 994. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have
receded to 103 k and 102 k. The Reduced are 1021 to 102.
Exchequer Bills remain at 745. to 765. premium.
Very little has been done in the Foreign Market. Spanish
Actives are 25 to 251, and the Three per Cents., 368 to
being a decline, owing, it is likely, to the imbroglio between
Carrasco and Salamanca, touching the new loan, and the
attempt to rig up prices. Mexican have been rather flat at
351 to k. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have obtained 608.
For the Railway Shares there is not much demand, but
they are held at full prices, as the list subjoined will show.
ERRATum.—In our notice on Tuesday respecting the amounts
passed through the Clearing-house, for Messrs. Slyner, read
