The rumours of a rupture between France and Spain have subsided, und of course their eflect upon the Funds has ceased—the depression was great, Consols having been done at 79—but they appear likely to regain progressively the height they had betime attained, which was about 83, Foreign Stocks also went down, and indcid in a much greater propottion under the panic, but they have been improving since—nothing but a degree of fear as to the stability of the Governments could keep the market of Foreign Stock so low as it is, while it will net from G to 7i. per Ct. at the same time that in no English Stock can you make four per Cent. The Congress still sits, and the Duke of Wel lington is still unnecessarily with it—we do hope that some independent Member will notice this sub ject in the House of Commons—if the expence were the only consideration, it would be important, but when the dignity of the empire is compromised, it becomes doubly so. Mr. Bowring, it is said, is to be removed to Paris immediatey, to be put on his trial—it will then be seen how far the French Government has been jus tified in the harsh measures it has adopted towards this gentleman. Little Waddington has been sent fur 12 months to Culdbath Fields, for selling one of Carlile's works—the perseverance of these people, without entering into the right or wrong of the thing, ap pears to be almost madness, forasmuch as they must know that the oral of the law will ultimately be too strong for them, and for ourselves we cannot at all consider it desirable to place in the hands of the ig norant and uninformed plausible fallacies, by which they may be deprived of an all-comfortable hope with out the powers of mind competent to the comprehen sion of arguments which thus defraud them—a poor female maniac, who was brought up fur judgment under a similar conviction, is to appear again on the fourth day of next Term--this foolish woman, forsaking her proper functions, •To suckle fools," '• And c Itronicle small-beer," must enter into the labyrinth of Political and The ological controversy—we cannot but think that a confinement in Bedlam would be more appropriate than in any of his Maje,ty's Gaols. We have heard, from authority, that the painful affection of the head, to which the Duke of W e l_ lington has lately been subject, was caused by the improper application of lunar caustic to a sore ear. It touched the tympani= of the car, which became irri ut.d, aid affected the nerves of the bruin to a violent degree. A Rquisition to the Mayor of Liverpool is now in the course of signature, requesting him to cull a public meeting, to take into consiikration the sub ject of the daring piracies which have lately been committed on the property of his Majesty's subjects, and to procure protection film the further depreda tions of the pirates. We understand that the Royal Dank f Scotland have come to the resolution of charging interest on cash account credits, ut the rate of four per cent. only. . _.-.-1 THE NATIONAL REGISTER . • 56t The following is an extract of a letter, dated Senegal, Sept Y 7 :—" The camp of Altair, the Moorish Chief in the British interest, has been sur prised during the night. The lass of tents, cattle, and nearly toe whole of his patty, his two sons buying been killed. and t 74 rousi:ets tuken, is the result of this enterprise." Another part of the let ter refers to dissensions which appear main to have brol:en out between the natives and tine Europeuhs. Extracts of letters from Gibreltar :—" Oct. 12, There has been a considerable stir in trade here lately. The export to Spain of British ranuufacture is very great.

Mr Verona. The Princess had ascended to her beautiful villa, the Ploridiana (once the country house ut the sangui nary and treacherous Saiicetti), which is situate on the hill of the Vomeru, neat Naples; and she was returning by the steep paved rood to tee city, in a carriage and four, when the hems took fright, and set off ut Cidl gallop down the The coachman was thrown from his seat and sewn:L . 6y hurt ; but after running, some distance, one of the le:rses fell and the carriage was stopped. The danger in deed was very great, fur, besides the road being extremely steep, it is in several places over consider aisle hollows. The Princess had suthcientiv reco vered from her alarm to set off on the 24 , th for Verona. Ms de Serra, the French ambassador ut Naples, left the capital for Verona on the eeil of October. We have been informed chat Mr, Svymour (who charged Townsend with extorting money front him, who has since been tried and sentenced to death) has, in consequence of certain atfilavits sent from Ireland by a King's messenger to the Secretary of State, which will probably be the means of ss,ving Townsend's life, obtained a passport, and left this country under a feigned name. An epidemic disorder has, for some time, very generally atikted horses in Ireland. The mail coach establishment, on the road front Dublin to Cork, and to Limerick, have particularly suffered. At Nenagh,. upon the latter line, upwards of forty• horses were laid up at the same time. The horses are suddenly attacked wit!' the most violent inflam mation about the eyes, swelling of the legs, great debility, and loss of appetite, Work in this state is fatal, but rest, copious bleeding, physic., and warm mashes arc, in most. i cases, found to be eta cacious.

The Prince was daily expected back from the Province of St. Paul's, where all the dif- , ferences with the Junta had been settled. Trade is represented as being in a very dull state, owing to the circumstance almost of the shopkeepers being on militia duty, and, meicantile letters add, they buy little beyond their actual wants, in cortscquence of the unsett?ed state of the country. The Conway had arrived at Rio, from San Blas on the coast of Mexico, with specie on board, and without touching in any port of Porn. No later advices had been re ceived torn Lima at Rio than thc 12th of June, which date is not nearly so recent as that of the ac counts we have previously received front the sumo quarter, by the way of Panama and New York.

New Moos OV Ititstao Tile WdarD.—A well-dressed man arrived, a *holt time wince, at the Talbot Inn, Bristol, by one of the London coaches.

After breakhist next morning, the waiter gave him his hill, when, to the waiter's surprise, he declared he bad no money. The landlord wits called, who was not to be done easily, and he was about rending for an officer when the gentleman begged he would not, and offered to leave some part of his dress. lie actually took off his pantaloons and left ' , them for his hill, which was about seven Shillings, promisin•• on his return from Exeter to redeem them, as he had no friend it •Bristul to whom he could refer.
