MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE WS
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The 11;uglisii Stock Market was firm up to the close,
Consuls being 101-1 R. Exchequer Bills continued heavy,
however, at 56s to 58s. premium.
No casualties occurred in the Foreign Market, al-
though the sett.vment was rather heavy. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been 2.11 *, and the Three per Cents.
36 to 351. Portuguese Converted declined to 531 4.
Russian Bonds were 1181 : Belgian, 101 to 1011, and
Dutch Two-and•a-Half per Cents., 62a to 624.
The additional transactions in Railway Shares have
been these :—Bristol and Gloucester were 6i; Dublin
and Galway, *I; Kendal and Windermere, ; Bir-
mingham, 120'; Ditto, Quarter, 2.1 i to 231 ; South-

The Exchange was firm on Antwerp, Frankfort, and
Trieste, and rather higher on Amsterdam, Hamburgh,
and Paris.

(Frost The Sun of Last Night.)
A fair business was done in cotton at Liverpool yes-
terday. Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales at previous rates.
The business comprised 800 Surat at 21d. to 31d., 300
Maranham at 4id. to 5d., and American at 31d. to sd.
per lb.—There was a moderate business transacted in
Shares, at a slight improvement in privies. Bristol and
Gloucester, 374 ; Chester and Birkenhead, 314 ; Churnet
Valley, 21. 18s. 6d. ; Dublin and Cashel, 31 ; Eastern
Counties, 134 f ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 144 ; Ken-
dal and Windermere, 3t ; Lancaster and Carlisle, 12t ;
Lancaster and Preston, 45 46 ; London and Birmingham.

Much disappointment has been expressed in the City
this morning by merchants connected with the Canada
trade, at the non-arrival of letters by the Acadia
steamer. It was supposed that the mail from Boston
had h..n dolved by heavy falls of snow, as the bags
were not received at the time the steamer left Halifax.
A file of papers, however, has been received from Que-
bec and Montreal, at the North and South American
Coffee-house, which contain a good deal of shipping
news. Sir Charles Metcalfe appears to have been most
successful in the elections.
By the Acadia late advices have been received from
the United States—viz., to the Ist inst. Electioneering
for the Presidency was the universal order of the day.
The success of Mr. Clay was held to be certain. The
shipments of the new crop of cotton was proceeding with
the greatest activity; 113,500 bales having been put on
board, against 19,200 bales in the corresponding period
of last year. The season for exporting the new crop is
dated from the Ist October.

We learn from Vera Cruz that an English vessel had
arrived there, having on board an extraordinary courier,
who proceeded immediately to the residence of Santa
Anna. The report was, that he had most important
dispatches from the British Government, by which the
peobability was increased that the war with Texas would
not be prosecuted.
It is stated iii the letters from Tampico that a con-
ductor had arrived there with two millions of dollars, the
largest, we believe, on record. It was guarded by 300
men. It would be shipped as soon as possible for Eng-
land. Business was extremely dull at Tampico, but the
general health of the place was good.
It has been imagined by many in the City, from the
few remarks made under this head, who true to the con-
tract for the new French loan, that the biddings for that
portion of it, declared open to tender, had been actually
taken. The biddings are to be made on the 9th of next
month, and the reason why the Parisians hare ad-
vanced on the Bourse is stated to be principally in con-
sequence of the knowledge of the fact that the Messrs.
Rothschild and Brothers will tender for it.

The Funds have been steady this morning. The
Commissioners bought Reduced Three per Cents. at
99k. Consols for Money have been at 1001 and for
the Account at 1004 only. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents, are steady at 102 and 102 k ; Ex-
chequer Bills remain at 565. to 58s. premium ; India
Bonds, under 1,0001., have rallied from 755. to 795.
premium. Bank Stock may be quoted at 204} 5.
The confirmation of the news before received that a
large amount of dollars was at Tampico for remission to
this country for the Mexican dividends, has raised the
Mexican Bonds to 36 ; Spanish 'three per Cents. have
realised 36 also; and the Active Stock, 24k. The Por-
tuguese Converted Annuities have receded from 544 to
53i. Dutch Stock has remained steady. The Belgian
New Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Scrip commanded f to
premium.
The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Shares have
been on the decline to-day. The Great Western, the London
and Birmingham, the Brighton, and most of the other
shares have advanced. Business has not been particu-
larly animated during the day. There has not been any
business transacted in the Joint-stock Bank Shares
to-day.

THE WILL PourEas.—We understand that a re-
spectable young woman is on her way out to New
South Wales, with the view of being married to Barber.
She sailed from Greenock a few weeks ago, and was
furnished with a free passage by Government. She be-
longs to the neighbourhood of London.— Edinburgh
