AMERICAN NEWS.
(TWO DAYS LATER.)

LIVERPOOL, MONDA.T, 3 A.M.

By the packet-ship England, arrived at 10 o'clock,
last evening, after an excellent passage of 16 days from
New York, we, have received papers to the 16th ult.

inclusive.

The American papers announce the arrival at
Natchez, Mississippi, on the. Ist ult., of Capt. Elliot,
the English Ambassador to Texas.
The Texian Congress is still in session; there ap-
pears to be a strong feeling, both in the Government
and among the people, favourable to the annexation of
that country to the United States. The Texian
House of Representatives are unanimously in favour,
of the proceeeding.
.A communication from Key West, Florida, dated
30th January, states that an English ship, the Father
Mathew, had been wrecked off Caesar's Creek. She
was quite a new vessel, and only on her second voy-
age, from St. Stephen's to Matanzas, with a cargo
of sugar box-shooks. Part of the cargo and materials
will be saved and brought to Key West.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, FEB. 15.
The advance noticed in Stocks a few days since is firmly
sustained, without any further improvement being realised.
Harlem advanced per cent. ; Paterson ; Pennsylvania
Fives ; Norwich down ; North American Trust Company
; Farmers' Trust ; Ohio Sixes, Indiana, Illinois, Ken-
tucky, Canton, and Vicksburg closed at yesterday's prkes.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.
The Funds closed about a per cent. better than in the
morning, as regards time bargains, though there has not
been much doing. Consols for Money were 97k, and for
Account 974. The Unfunded Debt was without alteration.
The operations in the Foreign Market were unimportant
after one o'clock. Spanish Actives closed at 25, and the
Three per Cents. at 33 to a. Buenos Ayres were 36/ to 37 ;
Brazilian Old Bonds were 80* ; and Mexican, 34g.
The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been
these :—Birmingham and Derby Thirds were 6 ; and North
Midland, 10 discount; Birmingham and Derby Eighths have
been 2i ; Birmingham and Gloucester, New, 2 ; Eastern
Counties Extension, 4; Great Western. 35; Manchester and
Leeds, 43 ; and Rouen and Havre, 6i premium ; London
Joint Stock Bank Shares were 3 ; Union of Australia, / ;
and Union of London, / premium.
The advices from New York to the 16th ult. by the
England do not add anything of interest to the accounts
given this morning. The Oxford packet-ship had been
seized, and was to be appraised, but it was hoped would not
be confiscated, for smuggling of its officers.

(From The Siin of Last Night.)
There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool on
Saturday, but only 2,500 bales were sold.—Shares were much
the same. South 'Western, Great Western, and North Mid-
land, being best supported. Birmingham and Gloucester yere
74; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 58i ; Grand Junction, 227 ;
Great Western Half, 681 ; Birmingham, 234 ; South Western,
76i ; Manchester and Birmingham, 401 ; South Eastern,
35 to 34i.

The Cannadian accounts last received state that a very
general employment had been found for the emigrants who
had arrived out in the course of the past season. It was not
expected that any very considerable addition would be made
to the grant for public works next year, beyond that already
promised. It is therefore rather important to intended emi-
grants to be informed that no very extensive additional de-
mand will exist for labourers.

The speculations in Cotton at New York were still kept up,
but scarcely with as much vigour as they were. This is a
good sign, as it will tend to give an additional check to the
time operations in staple at Liverpool. .

Some later accounts have come from Mexico. The
letters before us are to the 28th of January. Two
conductas was about to start for Vera Cruz, said to
convey, at least a million of dollars, principally on merchants'
account. The slight differences that have existed between
the republic and this country, it was expected, would be
satisfactorily arranged. The trade of Mexico was improving.
The following is a translation of the Government order that
came into operation in the Island of Cuba on the Ist January
last :

" Art. 1. Every box of sugar exported in a Spanish vessel
will pay five rials ; in a foreign vessel six rials.
. 2. Every quintal of coffee exported in a Spanish
vessel to a Spanish port will pay three rials ; in a Spanish
vessel to a foreign port, four rials ; and in a foreign vessel to
a foreign port, four rials and a half.
" Art. 3. Molasses and Spanish brandy are declared free of
export duties.
_ _ _

A Art. 4. Every vessel departing fully loaded with molasses,
will be exempt from paying tonnage dues. . _

" Art. 5. Every ir-e;ser carrying away more :than 1,000
boxes of sugar will be charged tonnage dues according to
their measurement—if foreign, 6 rials per ton ;if Spanish,
2 rials. _

Art. 6. The same advantage regarding tonnage dues will
be enjoyed by vessels carrying away 2,000 sacks of coffee
and over 300 pipet of brandy." ,
There was not much business transacted in the Funds to-
day. The Commissioners bought their usual amount of
Consols at 978 and 97j, but they were readily sup-
plied. Up to noon there was not a single quo-
tation for Consols for the Account. For the transfer
to-morrow the money price was 97g early in the morn-
ing. It is now 97g. The premium upon Exchequer
Bills is 695., having been done at 71s. to 725. The Three-and-
a-Half per Cents. (New Stock) have remained at lon to
A bargain has been done in Consols for the Account since the
above was written, at 97g.
In the Foreign Bonds a considerable degree of activity has
prevailed to-day. Spanish Actives for the Account opened
at 2b, but have since receded to 24 and the Three
per Cents. from 35i to 348. The French Five per
Cents. are at 125 f. 50c. ; Dutch Five per Cents
at 1018 ; and Belgian was last quoted at 1058. The prospect
of a new loan, though to convert the Five per Cents. to a
Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock, has rendered the market
heavy. Colombian Bonds, ex-Venezuelan, are in demand,
and have reached 15g. The value now is rather lower.
Chilian have risen to 1038, but Mexican are flat at 34j ;
Brazil Stock of 1829 and 1839 have been just sold at 78.
The Railway Share market has a firm aspect this morning.
We can quote a slight rise in the York and North Midland,
in the Great Western, in the South-Western, in the Midland
Counties, in the French lines, and in the South-Eastern and
Dover. The Real del Monte Mining Shares have risen 61
In the Joint Stock Bank Shares no business was transacted
this morning.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 2.—Our market
continues firm, and a fair amount of business has been done.
London and Brighton, 43g ; Manchester and Birmingham,
40i; Manchester and Leeds, Half Shares, 49 ; Midland
Counties, 88 ; Sheffield and Manchester, 71i ; Paris and
Lyons, 21. 17s.

We have reason to believe that her Majesty con-
templates, during the ensuing season, a prolonged residence
in the Isle of Wight. Negotiations have, we are informed,
been for some time in progress to secure for her Majesty's
use an appropriate residence upon the coast, so situate that
it might afford Ltho means of rapid communication by rail-
way with the metropolis, and at the same time possess those
facilities for yachting and aquatic amusements in which
Brighton is so eminently deficient. Within the last few days,
we believe, Osborne House, near Cowes, the seat of Lady'
Isabella Blachford, has been selected for the Royal aocommO-
tion ; and should it be found sufficiently commodious, it will
probably be taken at first only fora
.limited period, but with
the right to purchase at a fixed price at the expiration of
the term. It is hinted that in this case a Bill will be brought
forward in Parliament, to enable the Crown to dispose of
that costly but unsightly fabric, the Brighton Pavilion.—

SILVER MINE.—We learn, from Stockholm, that a
silver mine, which is expected to. be very productive, has
been discovered near the tom of Lacliberg.
