A MADRID LETTER states that the diligence in which Lord Howden was proceeding to Paris had been stopped for six hours by the Carlists near Burgos. THE first cargo of West India pineapples of the season, consisting of 25,0(X), has arrived after a thirty days' passage. The growth of the crop has been somewhat retarded owing to want of rain. Titz life of the Emperor Soulouque is said to be despaired of. It is to be feared that the question of succession will bring new troubles upon Hayti.

Aurtiouox speculation remains much in abeyance, and transactions are naturally limited in the near prospect of the settling on Tuesday next, when the Bank books reopen for actual transfers, the tone of the Consol Market has materially improved during the week. The continued fineness of the weather, and favorable reports of the harvest prospects both at home and in France, have chiefly contributed to this result. Some influence was also due to the distribution of a large amount of assets forming the capital stock of the South Sea Company. Nominally the amount to be distribute,' was 1,M00,0001., but in reality it was less than half that sum—many share holders having anticipated the payment, and in some cases trust money being still kept over untrans ferred to other securities. The commercial bills which fell due on Wednesday have been extremely well provided for. The value of money remained unaltered. The suggestion for some time under consideration by the Bank of England for establishing a branch at the west end of the town has, we understand, been adopted. One of the reasons for this step consists in the facilities it. would afford to the public business from its neighbourhood to the Government offices. Large arrivals of specie continue to flow in from Australia and the West. On Monday the receipts exceeded 400,0001., consisting of 240,0001. in gold dust from Port Phillip, and 102,000/. in American dollars. The efflux of bullion is, however, even more considerable, the foreign exchange having become adverse, and the anticipated of the new French loan occasioning a draM of gold by way of preparation to Paris. There was also an enormous shipment of specie for India and the East, per the Sultan, on Tuesday. The amount was 548,000!., of which 491,0001. was in silver for Calcutta, Bombay, Singapore, and China. The daily fluctuations of prices in Consols have established a rise approaching to 1 per cent. since Saturday last. The successive quotations have been, Saturday, 91; Monday, 901 91; Tuesday, 911 1 ; Wednesday, 911 ; Thursday, 011. This evening Consols have been quoted at 911 to 911 for the 10th inst., and the same for money. Reduced Three per Cents. were 021; New Three per Cents., 021. Bank Stock has advanced to 213. India Stock 230. Ex chequer Bills 225. to 20s. prem. for the June bills, and 19s. to 225. prem. for the March issue. Ditto Bonds, 101. FOREIGN. The New French Loan is announced to be for 750,000,0001., or 30,000,0001. sterling. It will be raised according to the same arrangements as the last, by an appeal to the nation, inviting especially the concurrence of small capitalists. All subscrip tions fur sums below a certain amount will be allowed priority, and, if possible, accepted in full. Larger amounts will be reduced on a pro ratd scale. It i• possible that lists may be opened in this country, but, judging from the experience derived from the last loan, few, if any, of the English sub• scribers will have their offers accepted. The Foreign Stock Market has been quiet and dull throughout the week. Turkish Bonds have been most inquired after, and the prices are better. SHARES. In the Railway Securities there has been no change of importance. The market is firm. Brighton, and one or two of the old established lines, command improved quotations. BRITISH Ft OFF IC DB.
