London, March, l.-Consols opened to day at

attributed to an expectation that government
will be driven to the necessity of finding ex-
chequer bills. The question will be decided
on Monday, when the Chancellor brings in his
financial statement.
LIVERPOOL MARKET
Liverpool March 2.-There has been steady
demand for Cotton this week, and the sales have
been 1900 to 500 bales per day, but TO day,
owing TO the decision of the Bank of England
to loan 5000, oooi. on pledges of Merchandise,
there has been greater disposition to pur-
chase both by speculation and the trade, and
the sales are estimated at 5000 bags, about
which demand will cease in few days. A large
proportion Of the sales have been new Uplands

lis with great concern that we announce
the failure of an eminent firm OF cotton spin
ners (Mcssrs Stirling and Becton) OF Nanches-
ter. Their obligations are said to exceed their
assets very considerably. Another house OF
the highest respectability, indeed one Of the
first spinning establishments in Stockport, sus-
pended its payments on Thursday last, but as
there is every reason to believe that their diff
fcuIties are only Of a temporary nature, we for
bear to mention the names OF the principals.

Goldschmidt's house in London is the severest
blow that Glasgow has yet met with in the

The Paris Constitutional states as rumor,
which was gaining in well informed circles,
that the Emperor Nicholas, had sent an auto
graph letter to our Monarch, declaring that the
state of things in Russia compelled him no lon
ger to delay the passage Of the Prnth, but to
proceed al once to settle the affairs Of the East;
that he was determined to do every thing in his
power not to disturb the general peace, and to
the harmony which had subsisted for
ten years among the European States; and that
he wished to come to an understanding with
the Cabinet of St. James and the other Great
Powers, with respect 10 the mode OF carrying
into effect those projects OF which he could no
longer delay the execution. copy OF this let
ter is said to bave been communicated to the
French government, who delayed answering
during 4s hours, although the reply was to be
taken by the Duke of Wellington. 1t arrived,
however, just before his Grace quilted London
for St. Petersburgh, and its nature is described
as rather evasive Ifthis statement be correct,
