MONEY MARKET and ()IT Y NEWS'

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.
POST.-The quotation for Mexican advanced from 36% to
37#, and fir aly left off at 36,i to 37#. The ostensible eau°
was the ariival of the Medway with, as it was stated, tiltY
thousand dollars on account of the dividend ; but in reality it
may be discovered on the near approach of the settling daY•
'these and Spanish Bonds (which by the way have fallen to
221 for the Three per Cents. since the announcement of 'he
dividend) are the only documents which to any extent retain
a place among the speculative operators, and w hile the one is
depresseJ the other is certsin to rise, inasmuch as it wouldne" .
answer to allow an account to pass over without fluctuations.
It is with much regret that they are thtis obliged to be placed
in connexion, but dealers so ant that it is obl•gatory so 100°'
And the regret is on this account : the Mexicans are doing
every thing in their power to revive their national credit, by
keeping up to the promises which they have made for that pur-
pose, and which, so long as they continue in the honouraule
course which they are now rryuing, will doubtless be fu;'
filled to the letter, while Spain, apparently possessed by o°3!
infatuation, is resorting to every paltry nick and dishonest
chicanery, and is endeavou-ing, if it be possible, to sink herself
lower in the scale of nations than she is at present placed.

The report of a further remittance on account of the di'!'
deied aided by a little jobbing, caused the quota:ion for Mexi-
can to advance to 36i 37%. 'lt may be here remarked that ou
each successive arrival of these West India steamers, merchants ,
have experienced the annoyance of passengers being in Lon'
don, bringing various reports, which influence prices, roil
hours before the letters are delivered, in consequence of the
mail-bags being landed at Falinoubb. The great irregularity
with which correspondence new arrives from the West Indi"
renders it imperatively necessary that every means should be
adopted to facilitate the delivery of it when off the coast. 1-10"
ever opinions may differ as to the elegibility of Southampton
or Falmouth for a packet-station, it cannot be denied that
until a railroad be completed from the latter, the former port

THE CONVICTS FRANCIS AND

COOPER.

--- -
The day fixed by the Sheriffs for the execution of the Pr°
culprits, now under sentence of death in Newgate, is next
Monday week, the 4th of July. The fact was communicated
to them )esterday morning by the Chaplain of the prist?'
in the pre encc of the Sheriffs and other authorities. Franc!'
who has been in a very dejected state since his convW
tion, appeared much surprised at the awful inforreatin
he having indulged in the belief that the sentence would it°
be carried into effect. His despondency was, as may be sup'
posed, much increased at the intelligence, and, on bcconu"''
a little more cemposed, he declared in the most solemn man-
ner to his attendants, that he had no intention to do her
Majesty the slightest injury, and that there was nothing to
the pistol but a little I order and a piece of paper. Fro°
the communications made to his relatives, it would sr,
pear that he is fully convinced of the extent of l'!"
folly, and acknowledges that he deserves punishment'
but adds that should he suffer death, he will be a murdered
man. The father of the miserable youth has petitioned the
Throne for a commutation of the sentence, but how this sr,
peal has been recei4d there has been no means, as yet, e'
ascertaining. Francis has also declared that his only
tive for making the feint, as he calls it, was that he wig"'
gain an asylum where he would be relieved frcm the boas!
and suffering attendant upon poverty. It is understood that
some humane persons have interested themselves on his behalf'
and are about to make an earnest appeal in his favour. Other'i
who have on former occasions loudly declaimed against cap' be
punishment, have declined to interfere, lest they ma)'
charged with a want of loyalty. VI, hether praying for the etc,'
ercise of the prerogative of mercy (which attribute is pos.eee,
by our gracious Queen to an eminent degree) be an act which
can be construed into disloyalty must be left to the considera-
tion of those who have doubts about the matter.
On the intelligence being communicated to Cooper, that tb
day was fixed upon when he was to die, he received the info e
gar;
mation, to all appearance, as a mat er of course. He ,
become very humble, and conducts himself in a becoming on
tier, and is not violent as has been stated. He has mote tna;i
once acknowledged that his sentence is just, and has abandon
,ee
all hope that his life will be spared. He still remains in
tO
infirmary, where he has been ever since his committal 11-,
prison. He suffers a great deal from his feet, in %%hid, t „
effects of the 'poison he took has lodged. He is, at times, very
reserved in his manner, and, at others, communicative, tifir/e
time speaking of the crime for which he is to suffer. is
evidently feels most severely the awful situation in which be , •
placed, hut endeavours to conceal his emotion as much as pos-
sible sible by assuming a carelessness of manner which apprnac
to hardihood. There does not appear to be any sympathy -
him in the publicmind.
