acknowledged themselves subjects Of France, and
will pay tribute which shall be RENTED to Agiers
The Continent.
The foreign events Of the fortnight are not Of
striking interest
In Portugal, the Junta still keep the Queens
forces at bay.
The Insurgents are now powerful, and too
wealthy to be extingushed by force. Means are
being raised to buy out their hostility.
The Queen Of Spain and her husband show symp-
toms Of enduring each other. They have appeared
together in public; and We reconciliation is said
to have given rise to great reioicings.
a few days ago not fewer than 1000 emigrants
sailed from Hamburg for New-York. In some
parts of the country emigration is carried on
to almost an alarming extent whole villages 60
away en- a0Sse, and entire districts become depopu
lated.
1Ioney Market.
During the last fortnight the Funds have cOntin
ued uninterruptedly downward course, the bul
lion in the Banks still disappearing rapidly. The
directors have been more stringent than ever in
fact, though they have not publicly made any al
iteration in their terms Of discount, yet they have
done what has actedupon mercantile business with
more severity They have virtually declined to dis
count at all while the discount houses are charging
to per cent for short dated bills Of first rate quality
and per cent for bills running till July. The ef
feet upon business has been almost to put stop to
transactions of magnitude during the last few days
However the B ank has discounted rather more free
ly and Consols have rallied little.
The improved feeling has been farther strength
ened by the announcement that the Russian Gov
eminent has resolved to invest upward OF two
millions sterling of its gold in the English funds.
Still the severity Of the pressure is only partially
relieved and it is evident that for some time 10 come
we can only expect very stringent money market
and higher rate Of interest.
To-day the effect OF the investment OF Russian
gold has been counteracted by adyices from the
Continent, raising the price of Corn prodigousy,
and the utter stagnation Of trade in the manuiac-
taring districts has also had its effect. Consos de-
clined one per cent. in the Of the day, and
the market closed heavily.
The European Times says Since we alluded to
the position of the Bank of England, matters have
become worse in the whole commercial world
From Cornwall to Caithness and from Cape Clear
to the Giants Causeway, all are up in arms in re-
spect to our absurd monetary policy Great is the tr
umph of the currency doctors, and GREATS their
ultation at the embarrassment, which is bringing
many to ruin, and has already caused proud hearts
to bow in humble prostration.
The Government Education scheme had passed
to q third reading in the House ofCommons, after
a three nights debate, almost without opposition.
Cotton Market.
The price of Cotton on the sailing Of the steam
ship Caledonia had downward tendency, and
since her departure prices have farther declined
The market had become fiat, the sales less, and
spectators not operating. Several causes have
produced this reaction
The prominent one is the restrictive measureso
the Bank, an advance on the rate Of interest and
it's refusal to discount bills bearing the endorsement
of some of the first houses Of England, who are
said to have been engaged In speculation and
shipping gold to the United States
This movement has had most telling effect
upon the manufacturing interest OF the country,
and the Cotton market suffers under this pressure

On the following day better accounts were re-
ceived from London as to the state OF the Money
Market, which gave an improved tone to the Cot
ton Market at Liverpool, and the sales OF that day
amounted to about 1000 bales of American at an
advance of ! pence one half Of which, however,
was on speculation. Yesterday the business done
amounted to about 1000 bales at the currency OF
Saturday, and the market was free OF speculation
