Ir. Ward in a friendly manner, in the hopes of inducing out in fact with (No. 1.) Lord MALMESBURT'S him to act as mediator. I really admirable, temperate, most explicit, and Mr. Ward's position is one of considerable difficulty ; nor do I see, after our unsuccessful attempt at the Peiho, that any course was open save the one he has adopted. He has Kted cordially and frankly in the spirit of his declarations to me at Hong Kong ; and it is a matter of satisfaction to me that his concert in our previous proceedings is a strong argument in favour of the line of conduct pursued by M. de Ji3ourboulon and myself.—l have, &c., (Signed) FREDERICK W.

The, Toeywan left this anchorage on Wednesday morn - ing, 29th June, about 11 o'clock, with the parties bearing a letter addressed by me to the governor-general of this pro vince. After going north along the coast about six miles, they discovered junks' masts over the land, and upon ap proaching' within four miles of the coast, it then being high spring tide and only 10 feet water, and able to find no other channel whefe there was deeper water, they steered again to the northward, and went five miles farther north. Where the junks were seen there was supposed to have been a small stream of water. This point was guarded by three forts, and there was a village in the neighbourhood. :;It could not be approached any nearer for want of water. - A2)out five miles north of the forts another village was sw , to which the Toeywan was enabled to approach within la w and a half, having then nine feet at half tide. I herewith attach a tracing of the route of the Toeywan. No. 12. LORD JOHN RUSSELL TO MR. BRUCE. Foreign Office, Sept. 26. si r ,—TS have received and laid before the Queen your despatches of the 30th of May, Ist and 14th Of June, and sth, 13th, & yid 15th of July, the first three giving an account of your proceedings up to the time of your depar ture from Shanetao for the mouth of the Peiho, and the last three containing a report of the events ss hick occurred on your arrival off the Peiho and of your subsequent return to Shanghae. The events of the first period are clear and free from all obscurity, and I am happy to convey to you her Majesty's entire approval of your communications with the Chinese commissioners, and of the firmness with which you resisted their attempts to dissuade you from insisting upon the strict fulfilment of the stipulations of the Treaty of Tien tsin. That treaty provided for the exchange of ratifica tions at Pekin on a clay not later than the 26th of June of the present year, a time so nearly at hand as not to admit of any further delay. Yon were enjoined by the instructions given you by the Earl of Malmesbury, on your departure from England, to insist upon being received at Pekin, and to refuse to ex change ratifications at any other place. You were fur ther informed that it might be advisable before your departure from Shanghae to send an intimation to Pekin of your approach, and to request that suitable arrange ments might be made for your honourable reception at the mouth of the Peiho, and at Tien-tsin, and for your journey from that place to Pekin. You were informed that the Admiral in command of her Majesty naval forces in China had been directed to send up with you to the mouth of the Peiho a sufficient naval force, and you were instructed that unless any unforeseen circumstances should appear to make another arrangement more advisable, it would seem de sirable that you should reach Tein-tsin in a British ship of-war. Your conduct, therefore, in insisting upon being re ceived at Pekin and in proceeding to the mouth of the Peiho, was in strict conformity with your instructions. Upon arriving at the mouth of the Peiho you were placed in circumstances of great difficulty, in selecting the course you were to pursue, you were obliged to found that course mainly upon presumptive evidence. In these circumstances you had to weigh contingencies upon which no safe calculation could be made. I can only say, therefore, that her Majesty's Government, without being able in the present state of their information, to judge precisely what measures it might have been most ad visable for you to adopt at the moment, see nothing in the decision you took to diminish the confidence which they repose in you. _ _ Her Majesty deeply regrets the loss of life which at• tended the gallant though unsuccessful efforts of the Brttish and French forces to clear the passage of the river. But her Majesty has commanded preparations to be made which will enable her Forces, in conjunction with those of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, to support you in the execution of the instructions which will be hereafter ad dressed to you.—l have, &c., (Signed) T.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6. 1859. At length we are in possession of all the in portant particulars relating to that unfortunate disaster upon the Peiho—consequent upon the t airupt and lawless rupture of the Treaty of Tien t:tin by the Chinese themselves. The _London Gazette of last evening has given the whole of tl.e correspondence seriatim, verbatim et literatim. The documents consist of twelve seperate despatches, with a variety of minor, but some of these very im portant enclosures. The whole collection of papers will be found in their entirety, and therefore to the monopoly of very many of our columns, in the earlier pages of our publication of tits evening. They begin, these official documents, (as they ought to) with—the beginning. They set most dignified instructions—dated Foreign office, March 1, 1859—addressed to Mr. BRUCE, then pro ceeding on his momentous mission to China, as her Britannic MAJESTY'S Envoy Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary. They terminate with (No. 12.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S no less admirable, because in all essential respects equally temperate explicit, and dignified rejoinder—dated Foreign office, Sept. 26, 1859—addressed to Mr. BRUCE in acknowledgment of his despatches descriptive of the Envoy's advance (according to instructions) from Shanghai to the mouth of the Peiho, and of the disaster which there befell the British expedi tionary force from the sudden unmasking of the secretly-armed Chinese fortifications. The case is sow as clearly put before the world as lan guage well could put it. And so put, it will serve for us at once as a signal vindi cation, before Posterity and before Christendom, Nothing, really, in its way, could well have been more carefully detailed, more minutely categori cal, so to speak, than Lord MAL3IESBURY'S instruc tions to Mr. BRUCE, in his character as Envoy to Pekin. That minister is there enjoined by the F oi gn Secretary, in the first place, upon his ar rival at Hongqieng, to supersede Sir JOHN Bow- RING as Chief Supz,%rintendent of British Trade, making " arrangements for transferring the gene ral direction of British affairs in China to Shang hai at which port it is to be carried on until such time as circumstances shall admit of its being per manently established at Pekin." It will be ob served particularly that Pekin is the goal which is held in view throughout this remarkable despatch, as under any circumstances, Mr. BRUCE'S immediate . under some (contingently) his permanent, and under all, his ulterior destination First of all, however—before entering upon this point, Lord MALMESBURY enjoins Mr. BRUCE as follows—" You will not remain," says he, "at Hong Kong longer than is absolutely necessary, but proceed to Shang hai on your way to Peiho." And his lordship adds —" Her Majesty's Government were fully prepared at once to carry out the provision of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, which admits of the permanent residence of a British Ambassador at Pekin ; but the obser vations on this point, which Lord ELGIN has so ably laid before them, coupled with the fact that the French Government, on considering Baron GROS'S reports, have arrived at the same conclusion, have determined Her Majesty's Government, for the present at least, to fix at Shanghai the residence of the British Mission, and only to require that it should be received occasionally at Pekin." The one remain ing delicacy in the diplomatic situation growing out of the treaty of Tien-tsin is, there, in those few but sufficient words clearly defined. " But," says Lord MALMESBURY—having defined thus distinctly the one remaining delicacy in the diplomatic situation of affairs between the Western Powers and the Chinese Government—" But you will be careful to make the Chinese authorities at the capital and at Shanghai distinctly understand that her MAJESTY'S Government do not renounce the right of perma nent residence ; and, on the contrary, will in stantly exercise it if at any time difficulties are thrown in the way of communications be tween her MAJESTY'S Ministers and the Cen tral Government at Pekin, or any disposi tion shown to evade or defeat the objects of the Treaty." There was obviously from this no over weening confidence in the mind of the English Foreign Secretary as to the security of our new rela tions with the Chinese. To understand this, how ever, yet more clearly, it is only necessary to mark well the prescient words that follow. " Her MA JESTY'S Government," wrote Lord MALMESBURY, on the Ist of March last, " Are prepared to expect that all the arts at which the Chinese are such adepts will be put in practice to dissuade you from repairing to the capital, even for the pur pose of exchanging the rat cations of the Treaty; BUT"—now let these words be here most carefully noted—" it will be your duty firmly, but temperately, to resist any propositions to that effect and to admit of no excuses ; and you will say that the effect of any persistence on the part of the Chinese Government in throwing obstacles in the way of your arrival at Pekin, and of the presenta tion of your credentials to the EMPEROR in per son, will be that her MAJESTY'S Government will insist on the literal fulfilment of the Treaty, and establish the Mission permanently at Pekin." There is the very contingency to which we have already referred. Insisting then upon the necessity for the Envoy requiring point blank an honourable reception at the mouth of the Peiho—Lord MALMESBURY observes, " The Admiral in command of her MAJESTY'S naval forces in China has been directed to send up with you to the mouth of the Peiho a sufficient naval force ;" and even adds the recommendation that the Envoy should, if possible, proceed to Tien-tsin in a British ship of war. Later on in this despatch the Foreign Secretary remarks—" Although you will insist upon your being received at Pekin, and will refuse to exchange ratifications at any other place, and will further decline to make any compromise in regard to the time of your stay in the Chinese capital or the frequency of your visits to it, her MAJESTY'S Government are willing to leave to your diiscretion the duration of your stay on the first occasion." From this it will be seen that Mr. BRUCE had discretionary power simply as to the length of his first visit to Pekin—but as to his going there at once, he was to insist upon that under any and every circumstance ! So resolutely bent, however, was the Foreign Secretary in en forcing upon the Envoy the absolute and imperative necessity of his admitting upon no single pretext whatever of anything bearing even the shadowiest semblance of an indignity to the British Crown through its diplomatic representative, that Lord MALMESBURY even goes so far as to write thus : " Perhaps the best method of putting a stop to any attempt to impose upon you in this respect, will be that you should distinctly declare that you will withdraw at once, even from the Presence Chamber of the Sovereign, on the slightest appearance of a disposition to treat you, and the office that you hold, with disrespect." At the very mouth of the Peiho—was there no disrespect in the booms and stakes, and the insolent messages from underlings, and the lawless gun fired as the signal for the mur derous cannonade opened upon a handful of men by 20,000 bombardiers lurking there in infamous ambuscade to welcome the advent of a friendly ambassador ? No wonder, remembering the great crimes perpetrated by the Chinese upon the Peiho, and seeing what were the explicit instruc tions given to Mr. BRUCE by Lord MILmEs- BURY at the time of the Envoy's departure in March —no wonder, we say, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in his despatch, dated the 26th of this last September, should write in the name of her MAJESTY—" Your conduct in insisting upon being received at Pekin, and in proceeding to the mouth of the Peiho, was in strict conformity with your instructions." His Lordship adding ._ sc Upon arriving at the mouth of the Peiho y ou were placed in circumstances of great difficulty. In selecting the course you were to pursue you were obliged to found that course mainly upon pre- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1859, sumptive evidence." So difficult indeed was Mr. BRUCE'S position at that moment that the Foreign Secretary is constrained to observe thereupon, " That her MAJESTY'S Government, without being able in the present state of their information to judge precisely what measures it might have been most advisable for you to adopt at the moment see nothing in the decision that you took to diminish the confidence which they repose in you." "Iler MAJESTY," writes the Minister, " deeply regrets the loss of life which attended the gallant though unsuccessful efforts of the British and French forces to clear the passage of the river. But her Mqjesty has commanded preparations to be made which will enable her forces, in conjunction with those of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, to support you in the execution of the instructions which will be hereafter addressed to you." And so with that significant closing sentence of the twelfth despatch ends this remarkable correspondence. We have been thus careful in analysing Lord MALMESEURY's despatch (No. 1) of the Ist of March, and Lord JOIIN RUSSELL'S despatch (No. 12) of the 26th of September, because those two documents, in reality, constitute the very Alpha and Omega in the record of these momentous transactions. During six months Ministers are free to prepare their plans—undisturbed in their deliberations by either side in either of the two Houses of Parlia ment. This is, of course, in accordance with con stitutional usage. Autumnal sessions are excep tional events recorded only now and then, at un welcome intervals, in the annals of our Legislature. There was a rumour towards the close of this last session that something of this kind was again in preparation—that her MAJESTY'S present advisers were so eager for Reform that they must needs, at any cost and at every hazard, summon Parliament to re-assemble at the very latest, early in November. Lord JOHN RUSSELL especially, it was intimated, regarded himself as in some mysterious manner, and for some inexplicable reasons, and through some utterly incomprehensible conjuncture or concatena tion of circumstances, pledged—that was the word— " pledged" to an autumnal session as a sine qua non ! As, in fact, the one simple but inexorable condition, upon the concession of which, by his colleagues generally, he consented to sink his own claims to the Premiership— magnanimously agree. ing to devote, in a subordinate position, the whole of his immense genius and herculean energies —for the good of the country and for the advantage of the Crown—to the conduct of the affairs of her MAJESTY'S Government. ParEament, in fact, was prorogued upon this tacit understanding—that it would, in' all probability, meet again for a brief but important autumnal session some time in the early part of November. In the sacred interests of Reform, it was said, that the man who, among all men now living, regards himself as incomparably beyond all others the Arch• Champion of the Cause, would insist upon the autumnal session as a matter of certainty. And so, with this Fata Morgana glimmering exquisitely in the air before them, the more credulous and infatuated be lievers in the great Whig Reformer witnessed the close of the last session with a certain degree of equanimity. Granted, they said, that the new, grand, liberal, reforming Coalition Government has ended this session without whispering one hint as to their projects in regard to Reform—granted that upon this one paramount question of Reform Ministers have remained inscrutably and imper turbably dumb to the very last—granted that Mr. BRIGHT'S " unsubstantial pageant" has " faded" out entirely, leaving " not a wrack behind" (saving and excepting alone the rack upon which the nation was kept during the period in which that Halcyon Measure was being promulgated)—granted that Mr. DISRAELI'S bill is as irretrievably lost as the wand of PROSPEIW was broken, or his book sunk in the ocean deeper than ever plummet sounded—yet are the nation's hopes of Reform certain of realisation through the new Reform Bill of the true Reformers for Lord JOHN RUSSELL is " pledged" to bring forward the Go vernment measure in an extraordinary autumn session not later than the beginning of next No ♦ember. Rumours of this kind were, of course, got ap simply " for a purpose." And that purpose having been served—they are quashed now conve niently as utterly ridiculous. An autumnal session was never once seri ously thought of by Lord JOHN or by any one of his fifteen colleagues. They were al together too wise in their generation. They felt instinctively that by insisting upon an au tumnal session—especially an autumn session con- vend for the purpose of introducing a new project of Parliamentary Reform—they would be courting peril, if not actual destruction. Old birds like Lord JoHN and Lord PALMERSTON were not to be caught so easily by the empty and worthless " chaff" of a little possible increase to their popu larity. Six months' quiet power "in hand" was better than six years of it to be sought for wild " in the bush," through the risk of a precipitate Reform Bill introduced prematurely in November. Ministers, in fact, at the close of the session, gladly gave themselves half-a-year's immunity from the danger of a defeat in Parliament. Predisposed to do so, more especially remembering, as they could hardly fail to do, that their exceedingly minute majority in the House of Commons had been reduced to something just" next to nothing "—to something even bearing a rather alarming resemblance to a mi nority—through the adverse decisions of a series of extremely annoying election committees! Therefore, as a matter of common sense, and of the most ordi nary prudence, when Parliament was prorogued for the long vacation in August, it was really pro rogued until February. Six months' grace therefore fell in due course to the lot of her MAJESTY'S Ministers. Upon their use of that interval upon their mode of availing themselves of that golden opportunity—will depend their own fortunes in 1860. If they postpone everything to the evil day when Parliament shall have re-assembled, they will infallibly go the way of their predeceS . sors. If their occasional Cabinet Councils mean merely what Cabinet Councils generally do mean--namely, a careless club-room sort of chat about this, that, and the other, while every question that ought to be seriously discussed is, on the contrary, systemati cally shirked as inconvenient—then will they assuredly and inevitably have to look out for squalls in their management of the State Vessel. Parlia ment, the Public, the Press—are each and all of them sick to very death of this wretchedly affected dilletanteism in statesmanship, this frivolous pro crastination of all the vital interests of the hour— a system of government the promoters of which appear to be perfectly satisfied with, if only they can contrive so to conduct affair. that they keep their opponents Out and themselves In. Ministers, therefore, ought distinctly to understand this—that they, in a peculiar manner, hold at this moment their fate in their own hands ! and that according to their use of the next four months— October, November, December, and January—will be their prospects for good or for evil in February, upon the re-assembling of the Lords and Commons. The Wakefield and Gloucester Election Commis sioners are still proceeding with their inquiries. LATEST NEWS. THE BOMBAY, CALCUTTA, AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. (BY SUBMARINE AND BRITISH TELEGRAPH.) The following telegram has been received from Marseilles : CALCUTTA, AUG. 31. The Govermutmt has increased the license-tax to an income-tax of 7d. in the pound on all in comes above £25 a year; officials and landlords B.re exempted. The Council refuses to pass the bill without a clear statement of receipts and expenditure, and denounces the clau.e exempting officials, We have been favoured with the following from the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company : Mr. Gisbm ne, Alexandria, to Charles L.

Captain Richards, of the Central India Field Force, has, compelled Chuttersall, a leading rebel, to sur render. China dates to August reached Bombay on the 2d inst. There is no additional news of import- ance. The ship Admiral Boxer was wrrcked 14 miles from Kurrachee ; all lives saved. • Import markets steady. No change in prices. Export market less active.

We have received the following telegram from the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company : MARSEILLES, THURSDAY MORNING. The Panther with the mails from Bomba - and Australia, arrived at Marseilles at 4 this morning. The mails left for London at 10 a.m. Letters will be delivered on Saturday morning. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, WEDNESDAY. The Emperor has declined to be present at the banquet offerad to him by the commission of the Municipality of Bordeaux ; it is therefore supposed that his Majesty will not make the anticipated speech, but the Emperor and Empress will be pre sent at a grand ball to be given in their honour on the evening of the 11th, and will arrive in Paris on the 12th instant. The Imperial Prince will travel direct from Biarritz to Paris. The Paine of this evening affirms that the Sardinan Ambassador at Rome has to-day received his passports. The Patnie also believes itself correct in stating that the Mediterranean squadron has received orders to put to sea immediately, but is unacquainted with the object and duration of the expedition. PARIS, THURSDAY. The Comtitutionnel of this morning contains an article signed by its chief editor, M. Grandguillot, stating that the preliminaries of peace of Villa franca had resnied Italy from every foreign inter vention, no matter under what name or from what quarter it might came. France confines herself to give the Italians proper advice, which, if followed by them, would have ensured the prosperity of Central Italy ; but having in vain offered advice she cannot go so far as to dictate orders to Italy. VIENNA, OCT. 6. Letters from Naples state that great agitation continued to reign there, and that fourteen persons belonging to the highest families had been arrested, amongst whom are the Baron Galotti, the Marquis D'Afilito, and the Marquis de Bella Caraciolo. They at e accused of holding reunions for the dis cussion of politics. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. There seems no longer a doubt of the truth of the report that the Papal Government has sent the Sardinian Charge d'Affaires his passports, but the gravity of the fact is disminished by the circum stance that diplomatic relations between the Courts of Rome and Turin have been interrupted ever since the famous law known as the Convent Bill passed the Sardinian Chambers. Baron Brenier, French Ambassador to the Court of Naples, embarked at Marseilles on Monday, to re turn to his post. He is said to be the hearer of a courteous message from the Emperor of the French to the young King.

VERPOOL, Wednesday.—The screw steamer North Briton sailed to-day for Quebec and Montreal with the Canadian mails and 120 passengers. On Saturday next the Cunard steamer Eurapa sails for Halifax and Bostoa with the mails for the United States and North America.

At Penzance, on Tues•lay, the tide in three minnte. - ; rose and fell three feet, and continued to do so for an hour. At Liverpool, yesterday, the magistrates very properly fined a fellow named Gibson for throwing a cat on the fire in the kitchen of a public-house. At the Marvlebone Police-Court, yesterday, four men, two named Grantham, and the others Edenborough and Mead, were charged with stripping the lead and brass plates, &c., - from the coffins in the vaults of Paddington Church. The Vrisoners were fully committed for trial. MONEY _IEI R _ E7' AND cry NEWS. CIT - Y, Two o'CLoox. About £60,000 in gold we.s received at the Bank of England yesterday, ri , :isin,g the total amount added to the bullion since the date of the last balance-sheet to £449,000. The return which will appear to-morrow is consequently expected to show an important accumulation. Further supplies will be shortly announced from Australia, which may be appropriated in the same way, owing to the dimi nished exportation to the Continent. The inquiry for silver on Eastern account has also fallen off, but the quotations for bars and dollars are tolerably steady, and it is probable that the Indian authori ties w;11 forward a large quantity of specie during the next few months. The continued influx of gold, and the general appearance of the money market, warrant the expectation that low rates of discount will be experienced some time longer, sand very little interest is therefore felt in the weekly meet ings of the Bank directors. The report of the General Purposes Committee on metage of fruit and Matoes was brought on at the Court of Common Council to-day. It was unanimously- adopted; and the resolution in future will relieve the fruit trade from the unnecessary tax, but retaining a reduced charge on potatoes, the work of measuring and weighing by meters being required by that trade, but it was useless as regards fruit. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, business was rather inactive, and prices of all kinds were without change. The sales were 8,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and previous rates were well supported. The demand for money is rather quiet, the appli cations having fallen off since the mercantile en gagements of the 4th of the month were discharged. As the supplies will be increased by the release of the October dividends, a disposition is shown to negotiate first class bills at rather lower quotations. There is very little alteration to report 'in the market for public securities; the quotations continue firm, but business is exceedingly dull, the operations for invest ment and in speculation being very limited. Consols have been 951 3 - 7 4 , but they are now 951, the receipt of rather lower prices from the Paris Bourse having led to diminished buoyancy. The tone of the market, however, continues favourable. Indift, Stock has receded to 217 ; ditto New, steady at and the Scrip at 1011 ; Exchequer Bills remain at 245. to 275. premium. The transactions in Foreign Securities have been rather more numerous, but prices are not so firm. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 84 to 85 ; ditto New, 69 to 70 ; Mexican has receded to 231; Brazilian 41 per Cents. to 95 ; Grenada Active to 171 ; Portuguese are steady at 46 ; and Dutch 21 per Cents. at 66 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. have advanced to 461 4 ; ditto Passive to 11'4! but the Certificates have de clined to 4 . 4 ; Cuba 6 per Cents. are marked 1001. The la.it week's Railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, arc in round numbers as under : 1859. 1858. Great Western North-Western ..

"Blondin outdone!" Can anything; be happier than this cartoon, representing Lord Pam in spangles and very large " smalls," wheeling Johnny (who appears to be frightened out of his life by his perillous postion), in a wheelbarrow along a rope (labelled Palmerstonian Politics) over an abyss of Falls, well rivalling Niagara! Falls marked respectively American Difficulty, Reform Difficulty, Italian Difficulty, Chinese Difficulty, Indian Difficulty ! The cool complacency of the air of the arch-acrobat of politics as he trundles his way jauntily over the foam and rush of all these down-coming difficulties—with a wink quivering on his eyelid, and the immortal little bit of straw between his lips! How gladly would he, if necessary, pitch over the little man in the wheelbarrow! And that little man—if he only chanced to turn vicious in the midst of the performance—how readily, by one movement, might he brillg the whole to a disastrous conclusion ! The sittittion is admirably defined between those arcades ambo—the two chief performers. Agents from the French, Austrian, and Sardinian Governments have been soliciting tenders from some of our leading ironfounders for very large numbers of rifled cannon. The vicarlg^ of Basildon is vacant. The benefice is «orth about £3OO per annum. _ _ :\Tossrs. Evans, Stonewehr, and Co., have been nppointed agents for Lloyd's at Sierra Leone. A bundle of shipping notes, belonging to the Royal t Mail steamihip Ethiope, from Li verpoo l to Africa, isen picked up off Blackpool. Th e s t eamer Ethiope loft Liverpool with the mails for Africa, on the 24th ult. lit. E. STEPTIESSON, M.P.—The health of Mr. 11..h3rt Stephenson, the eminent engineer, is re-established. Mr. Stephenson 's indisposition was very much exaggerated in the journals in which it was noticed, and the hou. gen tleman is now pronounced cone Ascent. Lady Franklin's Arctic schooner Fox is now in the basin of the East India Dock, and open for public in spection. The hours are from 10 till dusk, Sunday included. `Visitors can walk, as the vessel is close alongside the quay. A correspondent suggests that the hours be struck on the heaviest quarter bell of the Palace at West minster, and that everything remain in static quo until the new bell is re-cast, fur which the contractors ought to be al lowed to supply their own metal. The present fractured bell, they say, could be disposed of hereafter at a valuation. WARE MARKET: -(Tins DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways.
