Extracts from the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons : _ _ " Your Committee cannot conclude their report without urging upon the House the importance of a project which proposes at all times to carry away the drainage at the level of low tides, and to re move from the Thames the daily increasing refuse of London " If the confident expectations of your Committee are accom plished, it will not fail ultimately to realise all the advantages which were originally contemplated. Mr. Dickenson has proved the effi ciency of liquid manures. The meadows of Edinburgh and Mansfield have shown the power of sewage water. Mr. Thompson, of Clitheroe, and Mr. Harvey, of Glasgow, have established the fact that liquid manure may be applied at a cheap rate, by means of the mechanical contrivance of service pipes sad hoses, to crops in every stage of their growth. " There will be found individuals, no doubt, in this country, of en terprise, to give further development to each of these experiments ; but It is only through the agency of a company that they may be all combined, and applied to the important purposes of cleansing our towns, purifying our rivers, and enriching our soil."

A decisive alteration has taken place in the beha viour of the belligerent powers in the southern por tion of North America. All the inuendos were recently promulgated respecting the likelihood of a shameful compromise on the part of the Santa Anna Administration, have, as we were throughout fully convinced, and as we definitely intimated in out last observations upon the Mexican warfare, proved altogether fallacious. Those who were incapable or recognising anything like magnanimity in the dis - position of the new President, have been latterly mos t officious in misrepresenting all the intentions of tha jj illustrious General. Some, indeed, so far indulge their scepticism, as to insinuate that his militar: future would be little better than sheer poltroonery ; that his official proceedings would inevitabl) be those of a time-serving hypocrite ane a profligate statesman ; and that altogether liE! would fulfil their most malign anticipations by evincing himself an ambitious and unprincipled ad venturer. We would by no means arrogate to our selves any especial gift of divination, or any super natural powers of prophecy ; we are not particularly desirous of being regarded either as the panegyrist or the apologist of the Mexican President, but we are most solicitous that no precipitate deductions should be drawn from the preliminary actions of a , popular champion at the very moment when he ad vances to rescue his countrymen from foreign domi nation, and especially at the very moment when himself, his councils, and his native land, are encompassed by an accumulation of diffi: • culties. There is a candour and a simplicity • about the recent proclmati _ons of SANTA ANNA which are most propitious ; and we acknowledge ourselves to be the more disposed to regard his present conduct with confidence, for two very particular considera tions—Firstly, because in SANTA ANNA, and in SANTA ANITA alone, can the nationality of the Mexicans be concentrated, and their physical energies so organised as to afford any hope of their unconnientkus bl. waders being repelled beyond the frontier ; and, secondly, because we have so full a reliance upon the political character of his race that we are assured he would be hurled from authority, supposing he attempted to perpetuate the dictatorship in his own grasp after the present calamities of Mexico had been nullified. The Mexicans are infinitely too fickle to permit any individual to continue in the possession of the supreme command longer than circumstances would render such a continuance agreeable to them selves—no matter how magnificent might have been the public services of that individual, or how systema tically he might have fabricated his Government. It is the evil characteristics of the population of Mexico, their partiality for indolence, the volatility of their friendship, and their proverbial ingratitude which form their surest preservative against any pro tracted despotism. It is the very possession of those disgraceful propensities which would impel the citizens of the Mexican Republic to thrust any individual from office immediately he had rescued them from any dangerous predicament and gave indications of unduly protracting his domination. In the event of his then proving an enemy to the freedom and regeneration of his countrymen, SANTA ANNA Will assuredly be rendered a compulsory WASIIINGTON, or an unwilling CIN CINNATLIS, by being compelled to retire to his estate at Mango de Clava ; or, presuming that his defection to the national cause were of a remarkably flagrant cha racter, he would unquestionably be driven forth igno • miniously to a second sojourn of a much longer con tinuance at Havanna. We are, consequently, satis fied that there is no extraordinary peril to the integrity of the Mexican Republic in the recent ele vation of SANTA ANNA to the Presidency. On the contrary, it is that very elevation, which some are now regarding with such unmerited jealousy, which has preserved the Republic from the perilous guardian ship cf PAREDES, and promises to afford her citizens both the opportunity and the capability of re-asserting their independence. From the intelligence which has just arrived by the Royal Mail steamer the Cambria, and which in telligence is detailed in another column, we might augur a most critical juncture for the invading and repellent forces. The refusal of the mediation ten dered by the British Government, and the petulant garbling of an unfortunate verb in the future tense, accidentally uttered by Lord PALAIERsTori, are suf ficient indications of the intense relish of the United States for this aggressive war. Their behaviour to wards England in this particular is tantamount to an expression of anxiety to " fight it out " quietly by themselves. As to the proposition of a negotia tion with the plenipotentiaries of Mexico, it is a species of impossible and inadmissible courtesy. The conclusion of a peace with the United States at this moment, when California is in the possession of the Americans, and the frontiers are, to a consider- able extent, violated, would be the virtual resignation of Mexico to the rapacious and dictatorial policy of Mr. President PoLii. One gigantic slice of the Mexican territories would be submissively ceded to the assailants ; other fragments would inevitably follow. The monster system of lawless annexation would devour an independent principality piecemeal, and nourish the cupidity of the American citizens. SANTA ANNA has recognised the certainty of these 1 baneful consequences. The offer of a negotiation has therefore been answered by a promise to submit it to the consideration of the National Congress. Con sidering that Congress will not assemble until the approaching December, this response is a decided evasion of the proposal, and the result of that evasion will be the prosecution of hostilities. In addition, moreover, to all these significant evidences of the disposition of the new administration, President SANTA ' ANNA. has himself addressed the nation in language of a most warlike and encouraging character. " Mexi cans," says he— " My functions will cease when I have re-established the nation in its rights ; when I see its destinies cone trolled by its legitimate representatives, and when I may be able, by the blessings of heaven, to lay at the feet of the national representation laurels plucked on the banks of the Sabine." That is neither language of pusillaminity or braggadocio ; it is the voice of a patriotic leader calling upon his people to arise and repulse their antagonists ! Much of public comment has been already offered upon the recent hostile correspondence between Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, M.P., and Mr. JOHN SHEA LAWLOR, and which ended in the former having the latter brought before a magistrate, who bound him ever to preserve the peace. This affair has not been treated of with the gravity it deserves. A humorous vein of ridicule is oftentimes the pleasantest and best way of handling a subject, but then the matter should be suitable for such a method of treatment. In the present instance a most important public principle was involved, and we deem Mr. J. O'CONNELL en titled to eulogy for the prompt, peaceable, and dig nified way in which he protected it. Mr. LAWLOR, one of the seceders from the Repeal Association, tenders his formal resignation in a letter fraught with terms of the strongest reprobation towards those who have zealously advocated moral force as the sole lever upon which they would rely for the fulfilment of their political wishes. This letter was designated as having been " couched in terms of most unbecom ing discourtesy"—language, to our view, exceedingly mild, when weighed in the balance with that which evoked it. For this gentle rebuke Mr. LAWLOR plainly enough sought to make Mr. O'CONNELL per sonally responsible. The mischievous intent was at once thwarted by an appeal to the protection of the law. Of Mr. J. O'CoNNELL's personal prowess we know nothing, but we certainly are not inclined to underrate it because he has evinced a becoming moral courage, and, fearless of pitiful taunts, has secured to himself and others, under the sacred sanction of the law, a due freedom of speech in the discharge of what he considers to be momentous national duties, and in which he is taking a conspicuous part. Suppose that Mr. O'CONNELL had played the game of his political opponents, and, merging his public in his individual feelings, had met Mr. LAWLOR in the field, what would have been the immediate retort ? Why, that the leaders at Conciliation Hall were not sincere in their advo cacy of moral force, inasmuch as where their per sonal prejudices, as opposed to their national ones, were concerned, they readily enough addressed them, selves to physical force for their vindication. J_l a d Mr. O'CoNNELL acted otherwise, he would infAllibly have fallen into the very pit his enemies had dug for him, and the consequences to Ireland at this particular juncture, from the vice of so flagrant an example, might have been disastrously great. It requires the utmost vigilance, and the most fervent and incessant appeals from all quarters, public and private, and especially from Conciliation ,Hall, to which, from the untoward condition of Ireland, the people of that country have felt inclined, in a remarkable manner, to yield the :greatest measure of their confidence— it requires absolute devotion on the part of the lovers of peace, to restrain that excitable and suffering population from bursting the bonds of social order, Would it not then have been seriously to jeopardize the almost miraculous success which has . hitherto attended the exertions of public men, if one, who had taken an energetic part in enforcing the pro. priety of preserving the public tranquillity in every way, had proved himself such a hypocrite as to defy the law for the gratification of another's private animosity, after having solemnly adjured his country.. men to respect the law, how great soever might be their public wrongs or privations ? We feel, there fore, that Mr. O'CortNELL has adopted a praiseworthy course, and acted with far-seeing judgment. He has opportunely in his own person combined example with precept, and defeated the ungenerous and in sidious designs of his opponents. He has acted also in unison with the enlightened spirit of the age. Happily the crime of duelling is rapidly declining. The most gallant heroes of the present day, naval and military, as well as the most accomplished civilians have alike joined in denouncing such a barbarous custom, so degrading a reli c o f b ygone t i mes. To I those men who practically repudiate the abhorren practice society at large has reason to feel grateful, In no country so much as in Ireland has the perni cious habit of duelling prevailed; in none, therefore, will a wholesome example prove of greater service. Above all, the public are interested in every pro tection against hostile proceedings being afforded to those who are only threatened with them because they honestly and freely express their opi. nions upon a public document addressed to A body ofl considerable political influence. The efficiency of all our public institutions—the Parliament, the Bar, the Church, the Press—depends upon the privilege of freedom of speech. Their very vitality is identical with its enjoyment, Least of any one, is Mr. SHEA LAWLOR justified in placing this requisite freedom under unreasonable restraint, seeing that his own letter bears ample testimony to its value, and we are not aware that he has taken out a patent for the exclusive use of strong and objurgatory language. We think Mr. SHEA LAWLOR has been righteously dealt with. Letters from Trieste announce that the harvest on the banks of the Danube and on the shores of the Black Sea has been excellent. "We have not," says the writer of one of these letters, "to join the rest of the world in deploring the scarcity of corn ; for a letter of the 19th ult. from Galatz, states that 700 vessels have left the Bosphorus with a favourable wind from the south, bound for the ports of the Black Sea and the Danube. The quantity of corn in store is so great that a sufficient number of transports can not be found, although they have everywhere been sought for." The Provisional Government of Geneva has entered on the execution of its duties, and everything con tinues tranquil in the canton. On the 11 th the Pro • visional Government declared that the Grand Council of the canton of Geneva was dissolved, and convoked a new Grand Council for the 25th of this month. In the meantime the different members of the Pro visional Government have themselves undertaken the administration of the various official departments. The Executive Council of Vaud has sent President DRUEY, and that of Berne has sent Governor OCH SENBIEN to Geneva, with offers of assistance to the new Government. The Vorort (Zurich), on hear ing of the disturbances, dispatched two Commissioners to Geneva. Madrid papers of the Bth have arrived. The ac count of the arrest of a man charged with meditating the assassination of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER is confirmed. The Espancl gives the following ac count of the affair:— " Yesterday, just before the arrival of the French Princes at the palace, a retired officer was arrested in the precincts, who had upon him two pistols loaded with slugs. On being interrogated by the ➢Minister of the Interior, he replied among other things, that his intention was to kill the Luke de Montpensier with one of his pistols, and to commit suicide with the other." The persecution of the Opposition papers still con tinues, and the Government, in defiance of the de cision of the courts of law—that articles not pub lished could not be considered as libels—have inflicted a fine of 40,000 reals (4000 on the proprietors of the Espectador. We may judge of the value of the official accounts of the reception of the French Princes frcm the fact that all the Opposition papers published on the morning after their entry into Madrid were seized, lest their accounts of the affair should be found riot to bear out that given in the Herald°. The Gaceta gives a long account of the reception of the officers of the garrison and the authorities of Madrid by the Duc DE MONTPENSIER. NARVAEZ was not present on the occasion, and the writer in the Gaceta is at particular pains to explain to his readers that he was absent, only because his high rank as Captain-General of the army did not permit him to place himself under the command of the Captain-Ge neral of Madrid. Mr. BULIVER has left Madrid for Valencia, in com pliance, says the Eco del C'omercio, with instruc tions from his Government. In his way he spent a day at Carabancha with Senor SALAMANCA. On the 3d of October the British corvette Spartan, 22 guns, and the steamer Phoenix, eight guns, were at Valencia. The Fomento, of Barcelona, announces the arrival of the Spartan at that port on the 6th. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. B.—Three per Cents. for cash, 35i ; Fives, 22 ; Exchange on London, 361. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The National indulges in the following pungent commentary on the accounts which have appeared in the Ministerial journals of the reception of the French Princes : indaponfitrat journals o f Madrid, and continued by pri vate letters, is that the reception of the Princes in the capital was mute and glacial. The people of Madrid (Id Lot even return to the Duke de Montpensier the graci ous salutations which he lavished on them. The suite of the Princes were, it appears, exceedingly alarmed at the reception that awaited them, as the Dangeau of the Debats is delighted that' no cry of evil presage arose to spoil the effect of this fine reception.' He does not dis guise the sinister predictions and alarms felt by the Queen for the safety of her guests.' Why this alarm, if the enthusiasm was general? Why these apprehen sions, if an exceedingly small minority beholds with displeasure the Duke de Montpensier's marriage!' De plorable excitations,' which led to menacing clamours, are spoken of. Vitals may be paid for, and the police of Madrid endeavoured, though unsuccessfully, to pro cure them, but there is no person rich enough to purchase silence ; and silence on such an occasion, in the midst of a people so easy to be worked on, so enthusiastic, and so expansive in their demonstrations, as the Spanish, is an enegetic protest. If the procession which took place on the morning of the 11th was saluted in the same way, it is easy to comprehend that the telegraph would not be too anxious to announce it. It is true that, to fill up the void, there will always be the resource of the his toriographer of the Debats. The young man who draws up this 'recital is of a charming naivete. As he expected enthusiasm, and it never came, he sought out something which could supply its place, and this was what he found: ' An ardent and rapid content burst forth from every look.' This defies all dispute ! A rapid content burst ing forth from every look I Deny that if you dare: deny the rapid content o f a l oo k ! Tb.c whole is m agn ifi cent in invention and style ! So mach for the acclamations of the people of Madrid! bu.l, nothing has been said of the transports of Burgos. till something must have been known about it; it was notorious that the ayuntamiento had refused funds for the fete, and the Captain-General con sidering such conduct impertinent, arrested the whole municipality, and simply thrust them into prison. He ithen could use the municipal funds as he liked. This is, t will he seen, a summary manner of governing; and it :s quite clear that if by chance any individual, func tionary or not, happened to be there, - without any great inamation toward s enthusiasm, this Captain-General would have soon settled the matte:- for him. But this kind of liberty is precisely what the marriage is about to consolidate in Spain. How is it possible for the people not to be delighted? Is another proof wanted of what is passing? The Progressist journals of Madrid wished to render an account of the entry of the French Prineves, and of the reception given them; the political e...laief forbad it. A Conservative journal the Espanol, had drawn up an account in a most moderate manner ; but it told the truth, and the political chief ordered it to speak of somethin? else. The same day the Eco del Comercio wes seised, tor the eleventh time in the course of a fortnight. All these facts are public and undeniable. What is most melan choly is, that the French name is again becoming in Spain an object of hate —that even at the embassy itself the Counsel is given to our countrymen not to stay out late at night in the streets, and to walk several together. Such are the bonds created between the two nations. Misfortunes have already occurred to several French subjects in the streets of Madrid. An Andalu sian journal announced a few days back that our country. men had but little security in that province, and th at i t deplored i t exceedingly. Spain, therefore,, scarcely hospitable for princes whom a whole army protected, becomf.33 absolutely inhospitable for the merchants and travellers of our country. Thus it is that the marriage draws closer together the two nations, and guarantees the secular interests uniting us to the Peninsula, and this is the reason, without doubt, that the Siecle offers its aid to the system which it has the appearance of combatting here, in order to support it more efficiently 'in Spain ! We have shown the situation created by this dynastic hymen with respect to Spain. We shall, some other day, describe in what position it places us relative to the other powers of Europe." The Constz . tutionnel and the Epoque continue their controversy on the subject of the conduct of the Minister of Commerce, in admitting Russian goods and ships to the ports of France, in accordance with the terms of the recently-concluded commercial treaty with Russia, before the ratification of the treaty by the Chambers. The Debuts, in the course of a long article on the subject of the revolution of Geneva, says-- " We sincerely regret this fall of a Government, which under the most difficult circumstances has uni formly pursued the most worthy and honourable con duct. Being a Protestant Government, and therefore little to be suspected of sympathy for the Jesuits, it sustained, in defending Lucerne and the Catholic can tons, the cause of principle, confessional liberty, and the cantonal sovereignty. Placed at the extremity of Switzerland, this small canton, the weakest and the youngest, of the confederation, has by the force of reason and intelligence alone raised itself to the first rank, and become the greatest obstacle to those tendencies towards absorptions which thegreatcantons no longer dissimulate. The pof icy of moderation, which brought Geneva to this elevation, has been overcome in the streets, and we shall see what will be the result. It cannot, we conceive, be expect‘A that the Catholic cantons, in face of a re duplication of danger, will break the alliance it had formed for its protection. The union will rather become closer an d more indissoluble. In two months, Berne, whence the free corps came forth to triumph, will be come th 9 directory =toe, the Diet the revolty THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15,186 tionary party will no doubt be reinforced by the repre sentative of the new Government of Geneva. Such is the situation in which Switzerland finds herself, and we cannot conceal that it is by no means calculated to inspire confidence." We are glad to see in the Debats the following, which we consider as an official contradiction of the report that M. GUIZOT had demanded of the English Government the extradition of the Count DE MONTE MOLIN :-" A London journal has pretended that the French Government had demanded fro:n the Eng lish Government the extradition of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN. We are authorised to give to this assertion the most formal contradiction." The Courier de Nantes publishes the following letter from Otaheite. It is dated May 28th : " On my arrival at Otaheite everythir:g was going on well, and I thought I should succeed here as well as the Marquisas, from which I had come, but suddenly the horizon became overcast, and war commenced at 'Eta bine. From this moment business was at an end. An expedition of 500 men set out to bring the natives to subjection, but it was not auccessful. Two days after wards the stcamer returned. As lam well acquainted with the captr in, I went on board to learn the details of the victory which we supposed we had gained. I saw about forty men lying on the deck. Pradier,' said the captain to me, we have been beaten. There are the wounded. We have had twenty-six dead and thirty hors de combat.' This was the first affair. The Canacs of Otaheite, as soon as the news had reached them, assembled in their camp. On our side we organised a column to proceed against them. The Queen, who is in another island, sent word to her subjects by her brother-in-law that she was about to return. Our forces being short, we were compelled to wait for reinforcements. At length Admiral Ilanaelin arrived. We remained forty-two hours in the same position, but at length, one fine morning, when everybody was at dinner, the Canacs entered the town, began to burn the houses, and fired upon all whom they fret with. Our troops got posses-ion of the heights, and for thr ee h ours kept up a constant fire. We at ength drove off the enemy, but we had five men killed. From this moment everybody was under arms, and every night we were obliged to keep up a discharge of musketry to prevent the natives from burning us out. We embarked on board the vessels everything belonging to us the most valuable. Thirty• five days passed thus, during which we lost only seven or eight men. In the meantime a slight affair took place at Tapouna, in which we had ten men killed, and the same number of wounded. At length arrived two corvettes with troops commanded by the governor. The column being soon organised, set out, and up to the period of my quitting Otaheite, did not cease beating the Canacs, and burning all their houses. But the natives always escaped, and therefore lost few men. We had seven killed and fifteen wounded. The governor is to make the tour of the island. If our troops can coop up the natives and kill a great many of them, they will not fail to solicit for peace. Otaheite is a fine country. The natives are very mild, but they are too much attached to their Queen, and our friends the English do all they can to excite civil war between them and us." The latest accounts from Algiers are of the 6th of October. The Ilfoniteur Algerien of that date has the follow ing intelligence from the Morocco frontier :- 6' We learn through Tlemcen a new instance of the anarchy that reigns in the west of our frontier near Morocco. At the beginning of the last month the llalafs pillaged a numerous caravan returning from Ouchda to the interior of the empire. It was in vain that it de manded succour from the Caid of Ouchda. The booty taken by the Halals and their allies is estimated at 50,009 dollars. This is probable from the high price at which the goods have been sold. We are assured that some of the cavalry of Abd-el-Kader were among the robbers. The Caid of Medrornah has just given an additional proof of his fidelity in arresting two emissaries sent by Bou Maza to excite insurrection in the town."

It is said that Mr. Charles Villiers, a gentleman and a man of talent, will obtain the government of Bom bay. We should rejoice in such an appointment for two reasons. First, because Mr. Villiers is a gentleman and a man of talent; and, secondly, because we believe him to be an ill-used and neglected man. If there be any merit in the free-trade system, Mr. Charles Villiers de norvos all the credit of it, for he maintained and propa gated the doctrines, and at some risk, too, before the Cobdens, Brights, Wilsons, Smiths, or Foxes had been ever heard of. Yet he has obtained neither pudding nor praise —neither a statue nor a subscription.—Morning Herald. The Parisian correspondent of the Brighton Ga zette, in describing the opening of the Italian Opera at Paris this season, says that the French dilettanti com plain " that the once-charming Grisi is becoming —may the word be spoken—too fat." ADELPHI.—The following distinguished personages have visited this theatre to witness the races in the new extravaganza of the Jockey Clcb :—Prince Treubetskoy, Prince Vladimir, Count Koudriaffski, Hon.

BUTCHERS' CHARITABLE INSTITUTION CRICKET CLUB.—CLOSE OF THE SEASON. —The first anniversary dinner of this excellent and praiseworthy society, was held yesterday, at the club's head-quarters, mine host Hart's, of the Swan, Walham-green. To say that the connoisseurs of the good things of the table had " lenten fare" would be a libel on their judgment in the selection of a caterer ; on the contrary, a better dinner, better served, than the forty friends of humanity, charity, fellow-feeling, and healthful sport, sat down to discuss, it has seldom fallen to our lot to have seen spread on the social board. When an association combines those warm sympathies and good intentions which make " all mankind of one common kin," it leaves but little for the chronicler to record, save an expression of regret that such sunny spots in memory's waste are not more fre quent. After the usual loyal toasts, th a t o f " P rosperity to the Club which there assembled," ca ll e d up M r. H. Collins, the secretary, who, in a spe ec h t o t h e po i nt, an nounced that fifty pounds had been a dd e d to the funds of the Butchers' Charitable Instituti on b y t h e exertions of the club. He trusted that as they p rogresse d a wider field would open for their useffil and benevolent efforts, and that by the infusion of fresh blood into their ranks, in the coming spring, 1847 might put its predecessor of 1846 to the blush ; not in earnestness of purpose, but in increased effectiveness and power of doing good. Mr. Sharp, the president of the committee of the institution, and other gentlemen, also addressed the assembly ; and after a pleasant evening, diversified by excellent harmony, and an interchange of encouragement to perseverance in the laudable and benevolent undertaking in which all present seemed most heartily embarked, the company separated with the hope to meet again as early as the next season will permit, to serve the cause of " Charity and Cricket."

DECLINE IN CONSOLS . -- ' the settlement in the English market has turned out rather unfortunately for those speculating for the rise, decline of about + per es a cent. having occurred in Consols. This is a great con trast to the appearance of the market oh Tuesday, when everything w • as looking firm, and is attributed to heavy sales made by a leading house, and to the failure of a party who is a princip rebr of what is called the "New Stock Exchan ea." member lthough this party has, of course, no connectiongwith the Stock Exchange pro p_erly so called, the large amount of 150,0001. stock which, it is said, was thrown - upon the market, could not fail to produce a depressing effec t.—Times. e ec GENERAL ALARM OF FIRE THROUGHOUT LONDON. --About half-past five o'clock yesterday morning, infor mation reached • every engine-station the metropolis that a very extensive conflagration was raging in the direction of Blackwell. The horizon at that time pre sented all the appearances of being illuminated by the glare of some tremendous fire. The river for miles down looked like burnished ld the dome of St. Paul's and the windowsgo , at the water side of Somerset House, were completely lighted tip; indeed, the latter build ing appe are d as if the interior was encircled in flames. The firemen declare that such a light was never before witnessed by them, Seven engines of the London b the County g anti 11 es rigade, with t h ose of - t o England offices, instantly started in search of the supposed scene t of conflagration• After travelling for some distance, it at length be . light in the sk came apparent that the extraordinary ..3 7 Was in from nothing else than the rising 01 the sun in the east , and the engines were sent back again to several their stations.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from 14,000 to 15,000 bales, of which 8,000 were on specula tion. The market was very animated, and prices in most instances were id. per lb. higher. Holders deem the accounts by the Cambria in their favour; the crop of Sea Islands' being estimated at 15,000 bales. The quo tations are as follows:-200 Pernams and Maranhams, at sd. to 71c1.; 400 Bahia, at 6d. to 7d.; 300 Egyp tian, at 6d. to 7d.; 500 Surat, at 3d. to 4p. ; and the rest American, at sd. to 6-id. The papers and letters received by the Cambria steamer are of considerable interest as respects the quantity of supplies coming forward of flour, &c. The exports are represented as being very heavy indeed. The weather, too, continued satisfactory for getting in produce. The weather is thus referred to in the last number of the Quebec Gazette which has come to hand:— " Tim WEATHER.—The north east wind which com menced on the night of the 18th inst., continued only till the following night. Yesterday the wind was west, the air again smoky, and the thermometer up to 75 deg. in the shade ; towards evening the wind went round by the sou , h, and it began to rain about ten o'clock, and continued till towards daylight with a light easterly wind which still continues. Some farmers in the new settle ments have got in their potato crops in good order, in some cases a thousand bushels. Ploughing is commenced en moist grounds." In the English Stock Market the settlement of the Account has formed the principal business of this day. As yet all has gone off well. The failure, talked of so much, which occurred yesterday, was a mere bagatelle. The party was a member of the Exchange just started—rather an ill omen as respects the future prosperity of the concern. Consols for the Account have been done at 95a, and for Money at 95k; but just now sales were made of the latter at 94k. The Exchequer-bill market is heavy, at 14s. to 17s. premium. Bank Stock has improved train 2051 to 2061. Speculation is rather active in Mexican, in Spanish, and in the Dutch Funds to-day. Prices are, for most of the foreign investments, anything bt.t firm. There is a better opinion entertained of Railway Shares to-day. The official prices are annexed. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock .205% 206% 3 per Cent.
