MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
POST.—The quotation for Mexican advanced from 361 to
3%, and finally left off at 361 to 37k. The ostensible cause
was the arrival of the Medway with, as it was stated, fifty
thousand dollars on account of the dividend ; but in reality it
may be discovered on the near approach cf the settling day.
These and Spanish Bonds (which by the way have fallen to
22 for the Three per Cents. since the announcement of the
dividend) aro the only documents which to any extent retain
a place among the nperuletive operators, and while the one is
depressed the other is certain to rise, inasmuch as it would not
answer to allow an account to pass over without fluctuations.
It is with much regret that they are thus obliged to be placed
in connexion, but dealers so act that it is obligatory so to do.
And the regret is on this account: the Mexicans aro 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 honourable
course which they are now Frtuing, will doubtless be ful-
filled to the letter, while Spam, apparently possessed by same
infatuation, is resorting to every paltry nick and dishonest
chicanery, and is endeavouring, if it be posslle, to sink herself
lower in the scale of nations titan she is at present placed.

THE CONVICTS FRANCIS AND

COOPER.

The day fixed by the Sheriffs for the execution of the two
culprits, now under sentence of death in Newgate, is next
Monday week, the 4th of July. The fact was communicated
to them 3 esterday morning by the Chaplain of the prison,
in the presence of the Sheriffs and other authorities. Francis,
who has been in a very dejected state since his convic-
tion, appeared much surprised at the awful information,
he•having indulged in the belief that the sentence would not
be carried into effect. His despondency was, as may be sup-
posed, much increased at the intelligence, and, on becoming
a little more composed, 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 in
the pistol but a little i owder and a piece of paper. From
the communications made to his relatives, it would ap-
pear that he is fully convinced of the extent of his
telly, 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 ap-
peal has been received there has been no means, as yet, of
ascertaining. Francis has also declared that his only mo-
tive for making the feint, as he calls it, was that he might
gain an asylum where he would be relieved from the harass
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. Others,
who have on former occasions loudly declaimed against capital
punishment, have declined to interfere, lest they may be
charged with a want of loyalty. Whether praying for the ex-
ercise of the prerogative of mercy (which attribute is possessed
by our gracious Queen to an einincnt 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 beingcommunicated to Cooper,
