MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

the Opening ex div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 9IA 914 ;
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 1004; India Bonds,

A most infamous swindle was attempted this morning in the
Mexican market. At the commencement of business there ap-
peared to be buyers of the stock at 37, and immediately after, cer-
tain operations had been effected, an individual stated, upon the
authority of a letter from his brother in New York,
that the house of Lizardi and Co., at New Orleans,
had stopped payment. The effect of this was to de-
press the quotation to 31, when the same parties
became buyers. This created some suspicion, and inquiry was
then made of the London firm, who were in a position to state
that the report was utterly without foundation, and could only
have been promulgated from malicious motives towards them or
for stock-jobbing purposes. The, Stock then rose to 36, but
the market has since been heavy in consequence of the previous
fall, and the price is now 35 354. The Committee have not
escaped censure for not having declared all bargains made in
consequence of the fraud to be void. The parties engaged in
the business are all well-known, and the connection between
them clearly to be traced, and it is to be hoped that they will
not be allowed to escape with impunity.
In the Share Market the only purchases have been—Edin-
burgh and Glasgow, 45; Northern and Eastern, 394 ; Eastern
Counties, 9 ; and Brighton Loan Notes, 78-.
Colombian Bonds are quoted 22i, having been 21%; Portu-
guese Five per Cents., 344; Spanish Five per Cents., 20% 20i;
and the Three per Cents., 2234 22%.
The accounts by the Great Western are but one day later
than those by the Colombia, and contain no additional infor-
mation in American affairs. A vessel, however, had arrived
from Mexico bringing intelligence from that city to the 14th,
and from Vera Cruz to the 17th of May. There was scarcely
any news. Santa Anna had issued. several voluminous decrees
for the purpose of carrying the alterations in the import duties,
and regulations regarding the entry of ships, into full effect.
The President of Texas had appointed the 27th of June for
the meeting of Congress, and it was stated that the intention
was immediately to invade Mexico, and to march upon that
country during the ensuing winter and spring. About
two thousand armed emigrants had already left the
southern States to assist the Texians, and it was thought had
collected nearly 20,000 dollars to prosecute the war. It was
expected that much opposition in Congress would be made to a
declaration of hostilit►es, many persons of considerable stand-
ing and influence being known to be anxious for amicable ar-
rangements. An American Editor compares them to " two
dog, looking at each other, all snarl and no bite."
