(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The transactions in our own funds continue to be on
.he most limited scale. purchases only to a small extent
being made, and but for investment. It is not probable
that speculative business will be entered into
until the result of the measures at present
before Parliament be ascertained. The delay in
settling these questions is beginning to be seriousiy felt,
merchants and tradesmen being alike unwilling to enter
into contracts previously to ascertaining what will and
what will not be carried. Consols remain at 891 for
Money, and 898 for the Account ; the New Three-and-
a-half per Cents., 998 to 991 ; India Bonds, 9 to 11,
and Exchequer Bills 27 to 30 premium.
The principal engagement of the jobbers in Foreign
Bonds is that of making up their books for the settling
to-morrow. Portuguese Five per Cents. are quoted
341 ; Mexican, 421 421 ; Peruvian, 171 ; and Spanish,
244. The price of Brazilian is 69 ; of Chilian, 80 ; of
the Dutch 'Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 524; and of the
Five per Cents. 1021 103.
This is settling day in the Share Market, which,
from the small amount of business of late, is of compa-
ratively trifling importance. With the exception of
Brighton, which has improved to 351 361, prices are
much the same ; Great Western 92 ; Manchester and
Leeds, 81 ; Midland Counties, 79 ; North Midland, 70 ;
and Eastern Counties, 101.
Money is rather lighter on the Stock Exchange, being
worth 3 to 4 per cwt.
Intelligence sixteen days later has been received from
Rio Janiero, by a vessel bound for Hamburgh, which con-
firms the dull state of commercial affairs there, mentioned
in The Sun of yesterday. The exchange on England had
fallen to 281 d. The packet of the 10th December had
not arrived out when this ship.left.

" Liverpool, March 29th.
" A gentleman at our port has this day received a letter
from a relative of his in Havanna, stating that a pro-
tracted and serious correspondence had taken place be—
tween the English Consul and Spanish Governor, re-
garding the new line of steamers. The authorities there
were also at variance with the planters, in consequence
of some prohibitory duties which htid been laid on. The
guards were reinforced, the vessels of war were held in
readiness to act promptly, if necessary ; and all the offi-
cers had received orders to be at their posts in the castles
at eight o'clock. The cause of these precautions had not
transpired, but there was general discontent amongst the
inhabitants, and if the British Consul should meet with
full support from England, he would most probably be
enabled to accomplish his views. • .
The above is nothing but what might have been ex-
pected from the previous information. It would really
appear that the Spanish authorities there were
Making every effort to bring themselves into col-
liSion with other countries, a proceeding which they
can very ill afford, considering the revenues of the colony
have been mortgaved by the mother conntry for some
years to come.. It is considered that no relaxation in his
demands should be made. by our Consul, it being of the
utmost importance to the success of the new line of
steamers that they should have equal facilities granted
to them there as have been given ,in all other parts ;' and
that if •the question in dispute be yielded, the safety of
our trade will be snmewhat jeopardized.
