LONDON, THURSDAY, AuGuft 17, 1626. We have received the Etude of Tuesday, with the Paris Morning Papers in due course, from which it appears that an insurrection has arisen in the Portuguese army, and, al though at present confined to a single regiment, it is ins- po3sible to judge to what results it may eventually lead, left, as we are, in the dark, as to the causes in which it ori ginated. From a report addressed by the General Don CORREA DE Msr.r.o, the Military Governor of Tras-os- Montcs, to the Minister at War, it appears that the 2lth regiment of the line has mutinied, arrested its officers, and openly rebelled against the authority of the KIXG, on the night of the 26th of July, placing at their head the Vis count de Mosl. s ActoßE. The 12th regiment of cavalry retired under the fire of the 2 ttli, which latter, finding itself unsupported, marched to Gimonde, and from thence to wards Penella, having previously arrested the Bishop of BRAGANZA and the Governor of that town, for having re fused to head the insurrection. By the latest accounts, General MELLo has countermanded the orders which had been given to the Viscount de SANTA MART/la to proceed to his aid with the 3d and 21st regiments of infantry, from which it may perhaps be inferred that he has succeeded in quelling the disturbance. The following are extracts ;•-• IF tom the Etoik, dated Tuesday, Aug. Ls.) PARIS, AUG. 14. We have received news from Lisbon, dated August 6. The military Governor of MIS. osOlontes, D. Correa de Mellos issued, on the 22d July, the following Proclamation from his head quarters at Chaves : " Inhabitants of Chaves, valiant and obedient soldiers of the garrison of this place!—At the same time that perfidious men, dis. turburs of good order, dare to form associations in manifest oppo sition to the sovereign orders of the King, I must hasten to inform you that several of the chiefs of those criminal associations were ar rested last night, and deprived of power to disturb the public tray, quillity. Mt-nausea have been taken that such illegal attempts may not be repeated. The authors of the disorder have been seized with such promptness and secrecy, that you could nut hear of it till after their arrest. " These happy results are due, Soldiers, to your firmness, to your obedience to your superiors, and the fidelity which has always distinguished you. I shall constantly depend on you to execute the important mission which his most Faithful Majesty has in. trusted to me." The same General Correa de Mello addressed on the 29th July the following report to the Minister of War : "Mostexc.client Sir ! " The 24th regiment of the line has hal the audacity to arrest all its superior officers, and openly to rebel against the orders of the King, our master, in the night of the Nth inst. " I have at least the satisfaction of Informing your Excellency, that the 12th regiment of cavalry retired under the lire of the above-mentioned regiment. I shall hasten to march against the rebels with the faithful troops that remain in this province. Mean time it seems to me that it would be very advisable that your Ex cellency should speedily despatch a corps of troops towards this frontier, and send me an officer to acquaint, me with its march, in order to give suitable orders." The Viscount of Santa Martha writes from the head-quarter, at Braga, that he has ordered the 34 and 21st regiments of infantry to march to Chaves, to support General Mello. According to a second report of the General, dated from Chaves, the 2flth, nut a single horseman of the 12th re invent had joined the rebels, and many officers of the 24th would not take part in their plans. Seeing themselves insulated, they took the road to Gimonde. The Viscount de Monte Alegre is st the head of the rebels. General Correa was preparing to set out. A subsequent despatch of the Viscount de Santa Martha, dated 31st July, states that the rebels had marched from G;mondc, to wards Penella, and that they hod previously arrested the Dish , p of Braganza, and the Governor of that town, because they refused to second the insurrection. General Mello, after ordceing the Via.

Om the Ist of thi s mont h, a t five in the afternoon, the regiments of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, forming the garrisons of Lisbon and Belem, were assembled in the Rocio anti the Terreiro de Poco.

Numerous expresses are received at the Foreign Office; three arrived yesterday, according to the Courier Francais. At Johannisberg, M. de Metternich is going to adopt measures against the congregations which are affiliated to those at Paris. - We have received files of American l'apera'to the 20th of July, from which we extract the following paragraphs: Letters from La Gu s ayra to June 17 were received on Friday, via St. Thomas. They state that affairs umained quiet ; that Gene. ral Paez was making exertions to strengthen himself, and that ha had levied a tax of 641,000 dollars per mouth on the cities of Cara- cos and La Gum ra. A gentleman who came passenger in the ship New England, which arrived at this port on Sunday, from Calcutta, has CCIIMuni. cated the following information.—Nat. Gaz. " The steam-boat Enterprise passed the ship New England, from Calcutta, off sangur Island, at the entrance of the river Mouldy, on the 4th of March, and reported to us that the British army had reached Ava, the capital of the Burmese kingdom; and that Sir A. Campbell had sent in word to the king, that unless the terms contained in the treaty previously concluded with his generals were acceded to within twenty-four hours, he would destroy the city. It was presumed that this would produce a termination of the war." Executive Department, Richmond, Virginia, July 10, 1826. IY COUNCIL, FOUR O'CLOCK, 1..)L This Department having been this moment upprized of the death of another of the few remaining Patriots to whose courage and de votion our country is indebted for her independence and happiness, John Adams the elder; and that, like our vnaratcd Jerffcraon, he died on the dth of July, breathing his thanks to the God of Na tions, that he had lived to the Fit , led' .`,itimivery of the day on which his country assumed her sta:ion amongst the nations of the earth—we think that whatever of par) , feeling may possibly re. main amongst us should be extinguklivil at the graves of men to whom human nature at large, sod Cu: country in particular, owe such heavy obligations. We therefore edvise that, as a proof of our grateful respect for this venerable man and Patriot, the bell shall be tolled from this hour until sunset, and minute guns tired for one hour.

The funeral ceremonies in honour cf. the late Patriots Adams , and Jefferson took place yesterday, agreeably to the arrangements published. The day was extremely hot, yet the proceseion was most respectable, and the whole scene was solemn and impressive. The address of the Rev. Mr. Rowan is highly spoken of. The busi ness of the city was generally suspentiptl during the day, and none of the evening papers were published..; Mr. Adams died with his impressions lively to the last hour of life. About ten days previously to the Jubilee the Committee of Arrangements in Quincy addressed a note to him, requesting his company on the occasion. An answer was sent in writing; and he replied, besides, to the Committee, " I shell out be present in body, but in spirit I shall be with youf Theitimutture to the answer is the last he ever wrote , and s,,sititt to be dearer from blemishes than any he has made for revei ..ysers. On the follow ing Saturday he rode in a coach for a short distance. On the morn ing of the jubilee he awoke at the ringing of the bells and the firing of cannon. The servant who watched with him said, Do you know, Sir, what day It is ? " 0 yes," he replied, "it is the glorious 4th of July—God bless it—God bless you all." In the forenoon, the orator of the day, 31r. Whitney, called to see him, with a clergyman. They found him seated in a large arin.chait ; and Mr. Vi'hitaey, in the course of the interview, asked him fora semi ment to be delivered at table in the afternoon. Ile said, " I will give you Independence for ever." After R few moments had elapsed, a lady present asked him if lie wished to add anything to the toast ; and he said, " Not a syllable." This was delivered within an hour of his dissolution, in the evening. Late in the afternoon be up panel to be a little uneasy, and he requested to be turned in his bed, which was done. After which time he gradually sunk away, and his spirit departed with the setting sun.—Boitort 614C:0z. The crowd in Chatham-square is immense, and the press upon the bank great. The outer doors are open, but the inner doors shut. We understand that such has been the alarm, that the bank dares not commence paying their bills with less 21)0,000 dollars; but that in consequence of the panic, although they have 750,000 dollars of unquestionable paper, they cannot at the present moment raise the necessary sum. The Directors of the Tradesman Batik at New York have pub lished an advertisement, in which they declare that all claims against that institution are perfectly secure; and give the following statement of the cause of an injunction having been granted : " The complainants, at whose suit this extraordinary writ is is sued, are Gideon Lee and Shepherd Knapp ; they have sworn dust the bank is indebted to them, for money lied and received, which debt is in jeopardy. That one is a stockholder in the bank to a large amount, and is appi ehensiva that the value of the stock will be destroyed, or much lessened, if the bank is permitted to proceed in its operations. "'The Directors feel it their duty to state to the public, that the amount due to the said Gideon Lee and Shepherd Knapp, and what gives them much uneasiness, is forty.seven dollars and nine cents. These gentlemen have certainly no grounds to complain of facilities from the bank. At one time they had discounts to the amount of sixty-nine thousand dollars, and at this moment owe the bank in notes discounted to the amount of twenty-three thousand dollars, independent of which, the bank holds their names fur about ten thousand dollars as payers. ",lt is true, Me. Shepherd Knapp is the holder of 220 shares, on acconnt of which the bank has never received one cent. " The shove are the facts in relation to the transactions of Gi deon Lee and Shepherd Knapp, and the public will judge whether fear of loss, or revenge for sonic supposed injuries, is the cause of their outrageous proceeding's." This Is quite a plausible story, only the Directors ought to tell how hank stock is acquired without beitig paid for. On the other hand, however, bitten stockholders have signed a paper entirely approving of the con,:,:et of 3les , rs. Lee and Knapp, and stating that the injunction was not the cause of closing the bank, thou4ll it has been used us it pretext for that purpose. [Froln the Now York Commercial Adrertirr, July 10.1 AiIiNEY AFFAlRs.—Tlicre was another explosion at or - about twelve o'clock to-day, and one which threatens tearful ravages, as it is supposed to be a very heavy one. We mean the stoppage of the Life and Fire Insurance Company. There is a great crowd in W'all and William -streets, and reports are as usual very contradic tory. Some allege that it is an absolute and heavy failure, while others assert that it in only a "suspension" of payment, in conse quence of the inability of the Company to raise a large amount of money which was wanted, on their metal:lea. [From the National lutelligencer.l POSTHUMOUS lIONOIIRS. Each successive mail horn every point of the country furnishes evidences of the strong sensibility with which the people receive the news of the late remarkable dispensation of Providence. Every where the people spontaneously assemble to give utterance to their feelings, and to the profound ben timerts of respect with which they cherish the memory of the two Fathers of the Republic who have just sunk into the tomb. The Supreme Authorities of the States, municipal bodies, literary and scientific associations, mechanical societies—in whatever form or number citizens are organized—they meet to pour forth their gratitude, their veneration, and their re grets on this signal munifestation of the will of (leaven. This voluntary and universal homage of virtue, wisdom, and public usefulness, is exhibited only in free Ainfrica ; it is our of those incidents which springs out of our peculiar political institutions, and cannot easily occur under the ancieut and despotic forms of Government. It is not in our power to notice, in detail, all the testimonies of re spect which are universally rendered wheresoever the tidings have reached; we can only mention the proceedings in prominent places, or where they exhibit remarkable incidents. Amongst these, we have already . atlvetted to those at Richmond, on hearing of the death of rile. Jefferson. In pursuance of the preliminary arrange. menus, a public Eulogy was pronounced on the deceased by the Governor of the Commonwealth, on Tuesday last. At ten o'c lo ck, all 'he State, Federal, and City authorities, and the private citizens, P moved in processsion, four deep, from the Court Ilouse, about • mile from the capital to chi capital square.

JEITEIISOX En st D.—We learn that Mr. Jefferson, a few days before his late illness, was pressed for an immediate sum of money, notice of which was received in New York. It gives us no Arai. nary pleasure to state, that the Committee of the Jefferson Fund immediately placed 7,000 dollars at the disposal of Mr. Jefferson ; which fact was alluded to by his grandson, in a letter received by the Committee, expressive of the moat grateful feelings; and the receipt of that sum may have calmed the last moments of the venerable patriot. We bnt reiterate the public voice in suggesting that the balance of the Jefferson fund, throughout the Union, be placed at the disposal of his beloved and affectionate child, Mrs. Randolph,twhich we believe will be sufficient to purchase the Mon ticello estates—New York guanircr. GEORGIA AND TILT. CIIEIIOKEES.—The tripartite controversy between (or rather among) the Government of the United States, that of Georgia. and the Creek Indians, if it is not drawing rapidly to a close, has lost much of its interest, in being divested of the character of violence which it once possessed. But the late mails hare brought us information of an incident which we are fearful may prove the first scene of a new drama, that opens seriously enough, and to our readers generally, we suppose, suddenly, hut not altogether surprisingly to us : for we have foreseen that, at kome time or other, the question would arise which has already presented itself, and the prescience of which, we believe, had no small agency in exaggerating, on the part of Georgia, the magni tude of the affair with the Creeks. Subjoined to these remarks will be found an extract of a letter from the (;ivil Engineer of the State of Georgia, to the Governor of that State, stating the interruption by the Indian nation, of his topographical survey of the Cherokee Territory within that State. On receiving information of this fact, so serious was it deemed, the Governor of the State of Georgia directed several companies of cavalry to hold themselves in readiness to march for the protection of the engineers ; and " it is understood," says one of the Georgian papers," that the Baldwin troop will proceed immediately on this service.' 4 . .M'e trust that the Baldwin troop has not marched on any such service; fur, if it has, though the Cherokees may yield to mere force, they may not, and blood may be shed between the citizens of Georgia and these Indiana—which reason and humanity alike forbid ! _ _ These Indians are the most civilized of any on our continent. They are to a certain degree educated ; they have a gov , roitient upon the Representative principle. They have had such connec tion with the Whites, that they are almost as much Whites as In. dians. They have more nearly realized the theory of Benjami❑ Franklin and Wm. If. Crawford, of an amalgamation with the Whites, ditto any other portion of the aboriginal stock. The property they hold is held by a peculiar tenure. If not by that of sove reignty, it bas been recognized hitherto as their title, and, until it is abrogated by the act of our deliberative assemblies, a resort to anything like force against their claim Is exceedingly to be depre cated. . . Saying thus much for the rights of the Indians, and their claims 011 our forbearance, not to say justice, we add, they have acted un. wisely, in opposing the survey of the waters within their limit ; and the best thing they can do, in the opinion of their friends, is to re voke their injudicious determination to oppose a survey, which, if it result beneficially, will be as beneficial at least to them, who own the soil, as to the people of Georgia. The Cherokee', looking to their true interest, ought not to be the srat to wake up a question, which, we apprehend, will, at sonic time or other, be agitated as to their title to hold their land, whenever dhir white neighbours want it. We trust that Dicks will think better of what he is doing, and use his influence to control the indiscreet counsellors of his nation, %he are for setting to the whites an example of incivility. THE FULTON BANK.—The run upon this Institution yester day, was " prodigious," but every thing was promptly met, and to-day all is quiet. We passed the bank since 12 o'clock, and there was nobody at the doors. THE FRANKLIN BANK.—There are so many companies bear ing the most excellent name of Franklin, such as the Franklin Bank of Jersey, the Franklin Manias turing Company, and the Franklin Company, that the old Franklin Bank, in Franklin. square, was assaulted by mistake. Yesterday, when the crowd left the Tradesmen's Bank, the Franklin being next on the way, the surrounded it—but the crowd was composed of persons, not one Br ten of whom had a dollar of the paper of that hulk. 110w ever, an alarm spread, and before the bank closed, some thing like twenty.fire thousand dollars had been drawn out in specie. But the friends of the bank TANI, made their deposits in specie, and when the doors cloned there was actually many thou sands more of specie than when the ran commenced. %I his morn ing it was renewed for a time, but when the holders of bills came in, they found such lots of specie upon the counters, and boxes opening, that most of them, after the first hour, returned, and pre ferred keening the paper. At twelve o'clock diere were no persons there, and the extra clerks were standing idle. It was quite amusing to sit and watch the holders of bills—to see their long frightened visages, as they came in, relax into a smile as they looked upon the piles of specie, pocketed their bills again, and marched out. So much for our rambles among the banks and brokers to-day JERSEY Dage.—The Directors of this institution have just published an exposition. They attribute their faikre to three heavy runs, the calamities of the times, and the impossibility of collect ing their debts. They all assert that the circulation when the" failed was less than for a year previous. From the first to the I;ith of October next, they promise to pay 26 per cent. on all issues, in cluding the bills made payable at the Ontario Bank. This will take place at the banking house in Jersey city. They also state that in their opinion they will be able to pay off monthly 20 per cent. upon the residue, until the whole cntulation is cancelled. The brokers will make work out of it.—Snoreden's Advocate. ISLANDS IN THE PACIFIC. United States ship Peacock, Callao Roads, March 13. 1826. SlT,—The enclosed memorandum fixes to a degree of certainty the latitude and longitude of certain islands in the Pacific Ocean, which, if before discovered, are not generally known or laid down oa the charts in general use. Deeming . this information important to navigators generally, but more particularly to out enterprizing countrymen engaged in the South Sea whale fishery, it is submitted for year further disposal. 1 have the honour to be, &c. &e.

FROM INDIA.—The ship Emerald, at Boston, sailed from Cal cutta on the 20th of February. It is learnt by her that the armis tice concluded by the Burmese with the English was a mere sham on the part of the former, to recruit and gain fresh strength ; that the war was prosecuted at the latest dates from the scene of action, at the time of the departure of the Emerald, although the British forces had gained ►ome advantages over the Burmese. A contemporary print has published a statement of the Joint-stock Companies projected since January, 1824. Without pledging ourselves to itsaccuracy, we insert part of it this morning, as a document of some curiosity. The remainder shall appear to-morrow. All the advices from the manufacturing districts state the gratifying fact, that a gradual improvement is taking place in the condition of the operatives, in consequence of orders coming in now more freely for manufactured goods than they have done for several months. The harvest his pro bably had a considerable effect (particularly in Scotland) in the relief of dis:ress; and therefore it is by no means improbable that, when the wages earned at harvest work cease, an increase of distress may be the result. We mention this, not in the way of despondency, but, as far as our influence goes, to prevent it; for, whatever may be anti cipated by speculators and enthusiasts, we do not expect, or even wish, that this great crisis of commercial difficultyabould pass over like a summer cloud, and be no more thought of until we are overtaken by a similar occurrence. The Lir cumatancts of the country arc peculiarly adapted to the improvement of our commercial system ; and we are anxi ous that the two extremes, excitement and despondency, should be avoided, as they are both equally destructive of a steady course of action, and have a tendency to interfere with the most beneficial arrangements. A Meeting of the county of Ayr took place on the 10th instant, to consider of the state of the country, when, amongst other Resolu tions, the following were passed:— " 3. That the meeting learn, twith much satisfaction, that the immediate pressure of distress has been considerably relieved by employment at harvest-work ; and they take this occasion of strongly recommending to the gentlemen and farmers of Ayrshire to give as much employment as possible of that kind to the opera tive manufacturers belonging to the county. " 5. That the Committee should, after making the above inves tigation'', consider whether or not it might be expedient, at some future period, to call another General Meeting of the County; and, in i the mean time, that they should consider how far it may be pro- I per to request of the Lord Lkuteuant to lay before his 311jesty's #` . Government a statement of the circumstances of the County ; is particular, with the view of obtaining assistance or accommodation from Government towards the carrying on of useful public o n ,k, , such as the great Road from Glasgow to Portpatrick, the prop ose d Railway from Johnston-bridge to the harbour of Ardross an, atd the Road, lately surveyed, from Glasgow by liagleehu n and Newmilns to the county of I)urofries. And that this meeting n o also authorize the Committee to co-operate with the Committees of other counties appointed for the furtherance of the above public works." We hope that the operative manufacturers, for vdm,, e labour there is no demand, will not only be employw in harvest work, but permanently in agricultural pursui'a—il the cultivation of waste lands, for instance —and that the improvement of the system will meet with a degree of at. tention that it has as yet never experienced. The naTeN, given to agriculture by an enterprising spirit, eimilar to that which marks the conduct of our merchants and mg , nufacturers, would do more for it titan all the statutes that ever were passed for its nominal protection. Thig improvement in our agricultural system would necessarni I I lead to an increased demand fur labourers; which would relieve the number of the unemployed by causing opera. lives to be engaged in the most legitimate of all pursliir,, the increase of subsistence for a superabundant population. It seems, by the last Resolution that we have ,I;lot(d, that our northern countrymen understand political somewhat More accurately than our evening conttioi.,:r atv, who proposed modern pyramids, and a new tower of g a b "1 for the purpose of giving work to the unemployed. The gentlemen of the county of Ayr prefer making a raiival from Johnston-bridge to the harbour of Ardrossan, ard a great:road from Glasgow] to Portpatrick, to erecting ii )ta . mids or a tower of Babel. Recognising, as we do, the Aristocracy as an menial and:fundamental part of the English Constitution, in ae, cordance with the maxim of monarchy, " No monarch,no nobility; no nobility, no monarch," it is not unimportant to observe the conduct of the members of that privileged class, as it may indicate either a tendency to au unduesub. serviency to the Throne, or an equally dangerous inclines Lion towards the demccratic portion of the State. What. ever maylbe saidias to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Representative System, (of which, although we have an opinion, it is not necessary at this time to express it,) of this we are quite satisfied, that the people of England posses' at this moment as great a power as is consistent either with the principles of the Constitution or the welfare of the Empire. The moral power that is exercised over every department by the influence of public opinion and the press, the strength of which is constantly accelerating by the gradual progress of knowledge, is more than sad& cient to compensate for any defectiveness in the mode by which the House of Commons is constituted; and is by its growing tendency calculated to destroy the equilibrium essential to be maintained between the three estates of which the Constitution consists. If this be so—and if, as we unfeignedly believe it is, the existence of a nobi lity is indispensable to the preservation of that pre-eminent and unique form of Government which is established in this country—then it becomes no less the interest of the people than the duty of the Aristocracy that the latter should uphold that distinctness of character which is as- signed to them by the laws. Whenever English Nobleman shall become merchants and petty traders, dabblers in the funds, and the associates of public peculators, it will then require no gift of prophecy to foretel the early extinction of their body. The Aristocracy have already been taunted by the Whig leaders of being but little, if any, in advance of the people in knowledge and intellectual attainmen a; they have been told that the march of mind was not to be impeded, and that the Democrats would soon tread upon the heels of Loris and Dukes. This at least indicates what is the qv() anintu of those persons; but while the proud Peerage of Britain continue to perform those important functions which their high station devolves upon them—and while they patronize the arts and sciences in their practical application to the benefit of the State, without mixing themselves up with mere adventurers, that have no other than pecuniary gain for their object—we shall never be alarmed at the mathematical calculations of a journeyman weaver, or the classical erudition of an attorney's clerk. In writing thus, we arc not insensible to the great stimulus which the sanction of noble names gives to any enterprise, whether of a commercial or of a general character. Indeed, it is this very power which the countenance they give to any undertaking possesses that makes us doubly anxious not to see their natrus connected with unholy things; for, no sooner does that happen than the moral and just influence of rank and authority is lost, and a moat hum.liating familiarity is assumed. We could quote examples ; but we forbear, in the hope that these re. ranks will not be altogether useless. CITY, WEDNZSDAY EVEN/110. The/British Funds have remained in an idle state dur ing the day ; Consols opened at 78b and attained a quota. lion of 78t, at which price they eventually closed for mo ney, and for the Account at 780, showing a difftrence of only an eighth between money and time. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds show an improvement of one shilling each, the former being at 15s. and the latter at 235. pre- mium. In the Foreign Market there has been a good deal of business done in Mexican Stock, as well as in Colombian. The advices received from the former place by those in terested in the advance of these Bonds are said to be of a nature to inspire confidence, while the depressionists assert that although the money may be shipped for the payment of the October dividends, yet that the British Agents, or late Agents of the Government, have a demand to be satisfied out of the shipments in question, on account of their having advanced the amount of the former di vidends. The balance of truth, as regards these contra dictory statements, time will determine. Mexican Bouds at the opening this morning went down to 43, but at the close of the day had regained the quotation of 441 43. The letters from Bogota do not attach much consequence to the operations of General PAEZ in Venezuela, inas much as no steps were taken at the time of their date ('29th May) to counteract them. These letters repeat the infor mation of the great exertions making by the Government to regain their credit with England, but are wholly barren of information in other respects. It appears that credit was given to these representations, for Colombian Bonds advanced to 31 1 1 S. Spanish Bonds opened at 10, and gradually advanced to 10i, at which price an eminent and highly respectable house purchased 10,000/. for money and 15,000!. for the Account ; at the close of the Market, they had, however, receded to 101. It is understood by letters from Rio, that Lord PON 80 NCV had arrived out, but that at the time of their departure he had not succeeded in the object of his mission, which was for the purpose of conciliating a better understanding between the Govern ments of Brazil and Buenos Ayres. The same letters state the facts of North American ships having forced the blockade, and discharged their cargoes, while English ships had been compelled, by respecting it, to return without breaking bulk. It appears that the state of Ex change at Buenos Ayres was exposed to great fluctuation, being from 48 to 50. In Shares there has been little doing except in Brazilian, which have regained 17s. premium. The Colonial Market goes on progressively improvin7 in IVest India produce; both for Rums, Sugar, and Coffee, to-day there has been an increased demand at improving prices; and the Refining Trade, which was at a very low ebb in this country, is fast reviving. East Indian produce also shows a still greater demand ; Spices and Indigo are in high request at advanced prices : the increased sale of the latter commodity is highly indicative of a better state of things, as regards manufactures. The Corn Market shows a fair demand for best Wheat at last pricer, while Barley is is. dearer. In Beans and Pease there is no alteration. There have been some con siderable sales of bonded Oats in the course of the Mad, . .':...) ---.1-.- , -•''' 5 ......-- -., d , -- .
