MARKETS.
MONEY MARKET-LoNDoN, May 90, 10 o'clk. The
English securities have been affected in cOnsidera
BILE degree by the news from America of declara-
ton of war by that country against Mexico. 1t is
feared that it will have the effect of involving in
fresh difficulties with the United States, and that the
oregon dispute vii. now become a question of seCon
Diary interest compared with others that will, in all
probability arise from the hostilities of our ransat
lantic neighbors,
The favorable electwhich it was anticipated would
follow the large majority in the House of Lords on
the second reading of the corn law bill, quite stulii
ned by TINS Intelligence and notwithstanding the good
position OF the account, prices about half per
cent lower than they closed last night.
Cohso!s were as follows: Money 9G!-fel to 3d.
ana CLOSED at 93 For the account SO! TO 965; There

bythis important measure will probably be more clear
