There is scarcely a bargain done this morning in the market. Yesterday there was a failure of a , ne consequence, in the case of a young man. dashing both at the Stock Exchange and on the Foreign Mar ker. in Exchequer Bills and Spanish Bond.; but re naderstand that this morning his differences bare been settled. This case is the general topic of converse tien to-day on 'Change, as it is understood the de faulter was going to set np his carriage in a few drys. Consols are at present 741 for Money, and fur the Account 79gi. . . . The news from Spain this mornint has thrown a damp on the Spanish market, and very little business is doing. We do not hear that the private letters from Paris this day bring any information of conic- qnence. Old Spanlab..o.2 to A—New. 61;1 1 -01r1 Colombian. 10'2 --Nrw.6.ll—Soip,S4—Frencli. ;in—Russian, 812 et —Neapolitan, 701i—tioniah, belt Paris papers to the 16th inst. have arrived this motning,but they eontaiu nothing of interest from Ma deid, sobsequent to the date of the Sth. One of these papers, howertr, states that an extraordinary Courier, sent by the French Ambassador at the Spanish Court, bad passed through Bordeaux on the 12th inst., on his way to Paris, and that nothing had transpired respect leg the contents of the derpatches of which he was b . . lie must have reached the French capital se. veral days before the date of these j our n a ls, an d the silence of the Government proves that nothing had taken place in Spain since the defeat of the Guards, which was favourable to the views of the Ultras; for otherwise the intelligence would have been blazonel forth with exultation. The arrival of another Cowrie; from Spin in the afternoon of the 16th, at the lintel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, is also mentioned io the same paper, but without any intima• tittle of the nature of hie communications. It appears therefore that the Government receives regular iutelli geoce of all that passes in the Spanish capital ; ►ot that coursers for individuals, or p r iests letters. are aot allowed to proceed or their war, or to he delivered.—ln the absence of intelligence, the ugh she regular chant,es, we avail ourselves of the follow ing article which appeared in the Sew Times of thi s morning, without attaching to it greater credit than it deserves •' Two couriers reached the Spanish Em')assy at Paris on Wednesday front Madrid. bringing news to the I Ith instant ; but considerable mystery was ub served in keeping secret the particulars which were contained in their despatches. It is certain that the Spanialt Ministers had all resigned. The King re- Vsed to accept their resignation ; but this was of little consequence, for they would not take back their pmtfolios. The City of Madrid was absolutely with out Dosernment, there being milker Political Chief nor Ministers, and the King's orders having no effect whatever. he great mars of the inhabitants remaiced tolerably trap jail many arrests had 14icsn place at Madrid.—Sorne of the prisoners made on the 7th have been shot. The Mike Jullufantado Lad been put upon his trial.—The story of a meeting of the Diplomatic body to draw up a common state ment of the late disturbances, appears to be without foundation." The French Chamber of Deputies opened the dis cussion of the various branches of the Butlicet on the 16:lo inst. The only object tvotth notice is a violent di4tnrbance which broke out in cossequence of M. de tillele (the ,Minister of Finance) having said that " seven years had been ernphr : ed by the Government of the King in imposing heavy sacrifices upon his peo ple. to fill the pockets of those who had served the preceding Government." The Left exclaimed that it was to pay debts which , sere sacred, the Right supported the :Miniver, and a svries of violent re- criminations took place, with an accompaniment of „ gestures and vociferations, which, acco:din; to the opinion of the French Journals themselves, formed one of the most indecent scenes, which had yet been displayed by the Chamber. FRENCH FUNDS, JULY l7.—Five per Cent. Congoli opened at 90f. 60e. and closed at 91 Stork, 1597( 50e.—Exebange on London, one month, 25f. 45c.; three months, 25C 50e. PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT. Ir THE LORDS.--The Irish &:.:4 , f all SYIO3-the Bill was read a second lime. The Session is so far advanced, otherwise we might hope to %ee some Bill to preclude the necessity of the ettrenie wtrlion mea sures In future; or, rather, to pat a star to the state - 7 7 " . r-;- ~ of thins which asilelor tho•applicadoaofthlt last es. I used, for distresied pariahs". Who eat tell us ;Avg ' Ai fondue h to slop, if, is the fusseished di:triers, Lwhich is the fact,fiee eggs seethe. esdi•fsre , • half [Pe sup I We knots this to be afloat we defy mop' diction ; and, let any one tell es, if bolas, when, and from what cause, the famine is to stop. We want an easier as to this point. It is money that is wanted. and not barrels of potatoes. The paw, starving la bourers in Ireland want money to purchase the food which they themselves have raised; and want not to be insulted by that imputleat, bragging " cheriity". whose "fecliag heart," ships them off half a ton of rys-uteal, coedig three pounds, and stuns, or would stag, the nation with the intelligence of the Loon, put down at fift!psiz pounds ! The Irish do nut want this imposture sort of work. They want a due share of their earnings. They want the English poor-taws. They want what God commands, when he says, " M" . " zle not the ox as he treaded' oat the corn." The case is plainly this: the rents, tithes, and taxes take so much of the money away, that the libourers are left to starve. Appoint overseers, who. is case of need, will go. armed by the law, to taitofswaothe rents and tithes enough to prevent starvation. This is the only remedy. There is nu other. This is ele way to " civilize" Ireland and to " convert" the Irish. But, there appears now to be no other way of putting* stop to real, raging, destroying famine. However, this subject demands a full discussion; fur, certainly, none is equal to it in importaace. lx Tux CO3.lloNll.—Suliie Journeymen Piinters pe- titioned, stating, that they bad been called before a Committee to give evidence as to the expence of print ing the Journals ofthe douse; that they had spoken the truth ; and that they bad been di:raged Gy their emph..yei s, to the great injury of themselves and fa milies. We should very much like to hare this pe tition, In order that we might insert it, together with the names of those employers, and any other particu lars that these printers bare to state; for, if it be really the fact, that they owe their dismission to their having spoken the truth, they de public protec tion, and the protection, direct, of Parliament ; other- Size, who, in such a situatian, will ever give tree 'etvidence again ? CONSUL GENERAL • T Rto JANEIRO.—This Con- NIP, office has been the subject of a good deal of just complaint on the part of Mr. Hume. This subject is to come on again; and therefore we shall not notice it further at present; but cannot hel) observing, that our Consuls in America, and particularly that at New York, demanded fees enormous, and eta believe, fees that never were demanded unlit of late years. The burden on Euglish commerce is enormous. The most trilling thing cannot be shipped from New York without a fee to this Consul. The old tar lot's brother, STEWART of the Courier, baring put' lisped in his paper, in June, ISIS, that Mr. Counevr had been prosecuted in that country for a libel on the Government, a lie which was immediately adopted by the Old Times and by the other London Newspapers, he got a document from the ATroaxer-Geteenat. in order to send home to disprove the fact. Ile took it to this Consul to verify. He verified and signed it. Hating done that, he held out Lis paw for two dol lars, which Mr. CORBETT refused, and the Pious Preacher at a Dissenting Meeting-house io New York (for preacher he is) kept the document, though he was told to tear off his name and give it up. " No," said he, " I have done the work, and I will be paid for it.' This is the way in which the honour of England is upheld in foreign countries and ports. STEAM BOATIL—Lord BINNING presented a petition from coach proprietors, praying that a tax might be laid on steatu-boats Mr. Alderman WOOD will cer tainly support this petition, for here isclrarly a viola tion of the " supposed conditions," upon which the coach proprietors undertook their business; and they certainly have a "vested interest" in the limbs and brains of the people that hare occasion to move from place to place, as much as the brewers hare in the en trails and lungs of those who swallow q. , arsict and coeubts iadicus. The coaches have been built upon these supposed conditions ; and the coach-proprietors have a great deal better reason to complain than the owners of public-houses have, seeing that their coaches can be turned to no other purpose, and that the houses may. This doctrine of supposed conditions will go a great deal further if it he not stifled. We 'ball bare the waggoners petitioning against the canal-people; and we shall certainly have the makers of woollen-cloth and hats (if these fine summers should continue) petitioning against the makers of cotton and linens, it not against the Sun himself for, woo the devil ever supposed ; who ever could leave understood, that there was ever to be eon-shine in England from the tirst week in Ally to the last week in July. IlerePlr. Alderman, the Sun Las violated the strict compact between him and the English cloth workers ; and though Parliament, omnipotent as it is may not, perhaps, be able to make him bide his face, it can, at any rate, compel the English people to stew their carcasses to a jelly in cloth coats, waistcoats and breeches, or go naked ; and w e have no scruple to say, that its power, exerted in this way, would be much less offensive to reason as well as to justice, than if exerted to compel the people to thirst or to swallow the poison concocted by the public brewers and their druggists. TURKISH FRIGATE.—AII explanation was given last night, and a very lame one, about this same fri gate, which, it seems, has been fitted out at Dept ord for the use of our Holy Ally, the Turk. It is a 'Mimi story altogether; bet. at tbdisetleie. dip" illy lii bike a lessieg of Masashi, teirartla Ate newsy's% though we lan heard a great deal Alia IMO* 01•11 •Vl.w , MM.• •••••=. ••••••••• wm.r.w cannot fay tbal p jam at Ails time. we bare meek feel ing-to gentler tbeitreeks. We have a great deal more anxiety abort err countrymen in Ireland,: sad shall Dever be induced to look much 4r/sia for olt- pets of compassion, while we bear of a Isodred asd forty Irish labosrees actorily expiring from huager. while eggs arc sold at Are for a half.penny si.us the spot. While this horrible fact stares as in the fate. impiously hypocritical must be the wretch that ram oc cupy a moment of his time (if he be possessed •f power in any degree) upon the distresses, miseries and suf ferings of foreign nations. HIUUGATIC CHAPEL RlLL.—There MN a petition 'remitted against this Bill, which seems to be pretty Much of a job. It was referred to a Committee, so that we shall have the subject on inciter time. Intim Ceatutestoregas.—There area parcel of Com missioners (paid oat of the taxes) appointed to en quire into the fees sod &hoes of Courts of Justice in Ireland. This is one of thin* things that naturally grow unt of the system. It is an evil engendered by an evil ; the thing altogether is radically wrong, and every attempt to wend it only to adds to its mix- Alec Mr. Hume complained that a yarn; gentle pan of the Dame of PLUNKETT (lie! a PatiMearx!) had been appointed one of the Commissioners. Walt ail du submission, we beg leave to ob that we think Mr. HUME'S complaint nut only groundless; but we Oust say, preposterous. For is it not dear nble that there should be no change in these Commissioners; and is it not pretty certain that this Commission will last ninch longer than this Mr. PLUNKETT, though he may be now in his teens, will, in all human probability, continue to lire: provided always, that the system, the glorious system of Boroughs and extreme Unction shall so long last. When we sees Commission for settling the debts of the Nabub of Arcot, lasting for thirty year*, and at this day giving the Commissioners, at the bead of whom Is Mr. Hue -1101:5 E'S venerable father, such thumping salaries, and such a nice house with clerks, door keepers, nece ssar y women and stationery; when we see this; and when we compare the magnitude of the Courts of Justice is Ireland with this Nabob affair; and when we farther behold Sir Fnatects BURDETT selecting the son of this Nabob-commissioner as the properest person in the world to be his reforming eolkagee ; and when at last we see this reforming colleague put into Par liauseot by " Purity of Election ;" when we see all this, how is Mr. Ileum mistaken when be supposes Mr. PLUNKETT can possibly be too young to enter upon his conansissiuning career. Why, if it were not for these commissions, what would become of all those genteel, pale-faced, white-handed, Llark-gowned and tail-wigged geutclemen who hare nu briefs? What would become of them all, and of their parson and borough-parents? Wott!d Mr. flume have them sweep the streets, or would he send them to work at' the hand corn-mills at once? Ts time, indeed, and with the failure of the system, this is what they must come to; fur they arc too old to be taught to be carpenters, bricklayers, or even labourers, to be left to themselves. They must be employed in a way to have a master, or driver, con stantly at their backs and heels. This meat eouse: but we seriously remonstrate with Mr. Beare against anticipating the order of events. Let things go uo. and every one will be in his place: to the and to the street-broom this race of beings will cer tainly come; but we pray Mr. Hums to let them came in the time and manner which the system has pointed out. Let Nees Bill go into effect in May next, even with the little chipping that it Las received, and we shall see every one in his proper place in a very few years. ALIEN BILL—We have so often had this Bill be fore us that we twill not ,fatigue our readers with any observation upon it. It was read a third time by the vote of a very large majority, notwithstanding a speech a piece from Mr. DCNSIAN and Mr. SCARIATT. We think a great deal more about the sentence lately passed by Mr. Di NMAN upon one of Mr. Cotatdat's shopmen, and on which sentence the employer has no ably and so justly observed ; we think a great deal l more about this sentence passed by thie new Judge "do:el bit Me Patriotd" of the city of Absolute Wis dom ; we think a great deal more about this sentence and this simpuman titan co think about all the fo reigned.' in existence, and especially about the gossip ing and gabbling At:pelt, the case of one of whom was brought farmyard by Sir K. WiLson. We detest heartily enoneit every thing in the nay of restric tion upin the movements of foreigners, and feel ashamed that an American cannot move about England without a purport ; but, really, we cannot endure to treat this as a matter of import ance, while we see, under our noses such things as the prosecution and the seutence just mentioned. Li berty, indeed ! it is pretty to hear men talk about li berty, when they eau sit out a whole Session and say nut a cord about such math rs. When they can see men, and, what is a great deal more, women, treated its such a manner, for merely expressing and upholding their abstract opinions; wheu they can behold this; when they can see the treatment of Mr. CANLILE, his wife, his sister; when they ca•• see the wife, shut up in a dungeon pith a baby at her breast ; when they can see her delivered iu that dungeon; ashen they can read, as they do, In the plain narrative of Mr. Cant.mr, of the horrible things committed upon hits' and his family ; and when they can behold the match less resolution of the suffering parties ; when they can see and hear all this, and take not the smallest no tice of it, to the winds we toss all their palaver about Abbele lionavista and the res. of the gossipping tribe. The Bill having been read a third time, Mr. lion NOUS! rooted, what tie dare say he deemed a piece of cutting - sarcasm, namely. an Amendment to the title of the Bill to repeal " su much of the Great Charter of Engbind as related to the ingress and egress of fu reigners." This might have done, under other air eumstance, hut had a very lame effect after the pre amble moved in the house of Lords by L .rd Kiec.— It Cause like the dialogue in the Ofd Times.

By aecouuts from Madras, dated the 7th of Mar& we learn that the whole of the British possessions iu India were in a state of tranquillity, cud restored to health.

The Topate frigate, Captain Richardson, bad touched at Mudd+ on the passage frost Claire to India and England. Lisbon Papers to the 7th lest. which have come is hand are principally filled with proceedings of the Portuguese Cortes relative eo the constitution and a:. faits uf the Brazils. The following was the most in. portant article propo-ed:— .. That the stay of the Parsee Rover in P,razil shall continue till the publication of the additional Act, aid that in the mean tame his Royal liiglsness shall continue to govern, in sulujection to the Cartes and to the ii!Nt.• the which he at preste:t governs, and I:hick obey him, his Mi deters or Secretaries of State briar; named by the Klee; and all thc Resolutions taken than in the Council uf State, and ell the decision.: and official. correspondence shall he signed b y the S•enee , tary of State of the competent department. • There was some debate about putting this article le the vote ; and the question whether the Prince Berl should remain in Brasil till the publication of the additional Act, was carried by tit votes to -13. The whole ankle was then approved. 'An addition pre. posing to censure the Prince 1tt . ..31, for the espies. alone he bad used to Curtis, was rejected. A private letter Iron. the Bahama Islands, of the dth of June, states that apwards of lOU negrees be longing to Mr. S!ubbs, of the Island of Grand Caicos, had risen upon their drivers, and seized all the vessr:s in the herbour, afterwards embarking with their wins and children fur the neighbouring island of Hayti, et St. Domingo, from whence they were not likely to he recovered. Upwards of seventy negroes belonging es a plantation at the island of Ecenua, haul, in cos• sequence of their owner having purchased a planta tion near Matanzas, in the island of Cuba, 'pee as board an American vessel, and were carried to the ere plantation of their owner, whose care they were ex tremely rejoiced to be again unu!er.
