But that we recognise an awful importance in the possible consequences of the Montpensier marriage we should probably be inclined to participate with certain of our Contemporaries in appreciating the facetiousness of its preliminary circumstances. There is such extravagant absurdity visible in the develope ment of this political and matrimonial alliance, its principal actors are surrounded by so many of the adjuncts of burlesque, and the whole proceeding is so intimately blended with the humorous, that laughter is alone suppressed from a dread lest the denouement may be calamitous. While the Dukes D'AIIMALE and DE MONTPENSIER are being tended by Spanish Hebes in the mansion of Madame LARDIZABAL, " the diplomatic sword" is being torn from its scabbard in the Cabinet of a gigantic ally. While the French princes are being regaled with the evo lutions of variegated petticoats and spotless pan. taloons, the stormy influences of a reviving jealousy are threatening to destroy the lengthened pacification of Europe. And it is because we are convinced that this farcical induction will, in all human likelihood, lead to a tragical catastrophe, that we behold in these circumstances rather texts for mourning than themes for amusement. Many hours must have already elapsed since the double marriages were solemnized in the cathedral of the Peninsular metropolis. Queen ISABELLA has matter for gratulation in having espoused a prince who was in no particular politically objectionable. The Infanta MARIA LUISA FERNANDA has, on the con trary, received a consort by whose acceptance all h.r constitutional claims have been endangered, and all her regal expectations most seriously jeopardized. It is unnecessary to particularise the relative position as sumed by the different Governments in consequence of this precipitate ceremonial. The temporary e.- journ of Mr. BULWER at Aranjuez is a tolerable in dication of the attitudes at present maintained in the ministerial tableaux. When we consider the preca rious hypocrisy which has enviror.ed the cortege of the Princes during their progress towards the Spanish capital, and the purchased acclamations with which they hare been welcomed in a land whose population is in truth so infuriated at their advent, we can not but tremble for the bloody consequences which may be thereby entailed upon an abused people. Beholding the subservient enthusiasm of the Afran- cesados on an occasion when the independence of a great nation is virtually bartered for a debasing friendship, we might paraphrase that startling allu sion of MIRABEAU to " those foreign satellites, who, gorged with gold and wine, predicted in their impious songs the subjection of France, and invoked the destruction of Peninsular nationality." The dilemma into which this misallzance has plunged the affirs of "Western Europe is enormous; and the uncertainty of their future is most embarrassing to all the lovers of peace and civilisation. That extra ordinary state contrivance, which M. DE LAMARTINE has happily designated as "an unfortunate temerity and a giddy deception," commenced with the tears of a QUEEN on the night of the 27th of August, has terminated with the anguish of a people on the morning of the 10th Octobe.a. " The posthumous dream of 1713" has been realised ; but the penalties cf its realisation have yet to be estimated. "L'asTur ance gee les Couronnes d'Espagne et de France ne seroient jamais mises sur une meMe tote, a ete un des principaux et des plus importons motifs de la guerre qui a afill:; , 1 l'Europe jusqu'a ce jour," said PHILIP V. on the Bth of July, 1712. On the 10th of October, 1846, the junction of the tso diadems was again placed within the limits of r o,sibility. May not some other sovereign have occasion at some future period to deplore as PHILIP did "la guerre qui a affligk l'Europe jusqu' a ce jour," and that because of this lamentable renewal of that same unnatural motive? LOUIS PHILIPPE should have remembered while en deavouring to sate his kingly ambition, and to en hance his family influence, that some amongst his greatest predecessors had been subdued while striving to render the Pyrenees a nullity, and to transform the Spanish dominions into a French province. lie should have borne in recollection that "Le Grand Monarque" was overwhelmed by a series of disasters because of a similar policy towards the Peninsula, and that even NAPOLEON LE GRAND first rendered the stability of his colossal empire doubtful by endeavouring to merge the realm of Spain into his vast and complicated system. We cannot sufficiently regret the accomplishment of this nefarious alliance. It is the virtual abrogation of the constitutional laws of the Peninsula; the hypocritical subjugation of an unoffending race ; the trepanning of a helpless Prin cess ; and the advancement of a dynasty, at the cost of an illustrious people. Such, at least, is the present picture of the political position of Spain—that picture may be reversed by Lord PALMERSTON The prompt and vigorous decision arrived at by the Irish Executive, as detailed in the letter of the Chief Secretary to the Chairman of the Board of Works, which we published in The Sun of Thursday, has proved to the gentlemen who have exerted them selves for the purpose of procuring signatures to the requisition calling the meeting of landowners to as semble together in the city of Dublin, that they may repose the most unlimited confidence in the Govern ment, and that it is no longer necessary to petition for an immediate meeting of Parliament, in order that the provisions of the 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 107, might be altered. Ills Excellency has taken upon himself the grave responsibility of sanctioning the expenditure of the money to be presented at the different sessions assembled under that Act, in the execution of such works of a reproductive character, and of permanent utility within the districts as may be selected at the sessions, and confirmed by the officers of the Board of Works. And it was there fore manifest that the object for which the assemblage of the Legislature was desirable being already at tained, there could be no advantage gained thereby The committee have therefore resolved that they would no longer be justified in acting upon the re quisition, and it has accordingly been withdrawn. Indeed it could not be otherwise from the terms of the requisition itself, which was limited to the altera tion of the provisions of that Act. It still, how ever, appears to us that it would be most desirable that a general meeting of persons of all varieties of political and religious feeling, who were owners of, or interested in, land, should assemble to gether, that they should co-operate with each other for the benefit of their common country ; and that they should appoint a permanent committee, whose especial duty it would be to take into their considera tion all questions relating to the existing, or probable future, distress throughout the entire kingdom ; that they should report on all projects submitted to them, by which the condition of the people might be ameliorated, particularly to such as related to an im proved cultivation of the soil, and the production of such crops as might afford a substitute for the potato as food for the multitude, in the event of a continued failure of that esculent. We doubt not that the most perfect good faith would be observed by Mr. O ' CONNELL and his supporters, and that no attempt would be made at the introduction of any question of an irritating nature likely to introduce party dissensions or religious differences ; indeed, any effort of the kind would instantly take away from the efficiency of the body, which would only be valuable as representing the opinions of all. Mr. O'CoaNzLL is far too sagacious to effect by such means the destruction of a body which mig'at confer such vast benefit on his country, and this alone would be a sufficient guarantee were it not confirmed by the solemn pledges that would undoubtedly be given at its formation, and which, indeed, have been already con tained in his letters on the subject. A fundamental rule should be adopted in the first instance, similar to that which bound the Repeal Association to act only on the principle of moral force, and which should provide that any person introducing any ques tion not having a direct reference to the objects for which the body was created, should "eo instance' cease to be a member. The reasons urged by Mr. O'Cosmiu, in his admirable letters appear to us quite unanswerable. It is, we hope, unnecessary to say, that we are no repealers of the union between the countries; on the con trary, we are anxious to cement more closely the ties by which we are mutually bound together, and to raise the people of Ireland to a full and perfect equality with ourselves in all their civil, municipal, and political institutions. A perfect union can only exist in a perfect equality. Suffer one of the parties to be placed in an inferior condition under any pre text whatsoever, and you forthwith endanger the stability of that union which it is for the benefit of Loth nations to consolidate and strengthen by every legitimate means. We cannot but think that the pa ternal solicitude, the energetic exertions of the Go vernment for the welfare of the Irish in this the season of their trial will not be without their eirccts on that generous and high-minded people. They will see that they have been unduly prejudiced against the English connexion, and that they will gain everything from an united Legislature that may be demanded by the exigencies of their country as fully as if it had been submitted to the consideration of an Irish Parliament sitting in College-green. Already we have seen the good effects of per - sons of opposite political opinions meeting together on a neutral ground, where no causes of disunion could wise, and where they could labour together for the benefit of their suffering brethren. The feelings on both sides have been softeneedown, and flowed in ,a more kindly channel, and the prejudices by which each party have been influenced, if not wholly re moved, have at least been greatly mitigated. From this beneficial change we augur the happiest conse quences for the nation at large. We hope to see the time when Irishman can meet Irishman without the introduction of irritating topics, without difference, and without contest. We think that the existence of a permanent body in Dublin, of the kind proposed, would greatly add to this friendly feeling, this entente cordiale between all classes, and that if no other be nefit were attained, ie results would be most advan tageous. But there are many other respects in which it would be highly beneficial. It would act as a central body, to which communications might he addressed by every relief committee—nay, by every individval in the kingdom. The suggestions, however valuable they might he in the:nselv,s, which would command little authority, if put forward by a private person or a small body, would instantly re ceive the greatest attention when fully considered, and recommended by the representatives of the owners of the soil in all parts of the kingdom. W e have seen that the deputations from the county meetings that have been admitted to audiences with his Excellency have produced the best Effects ; th e state of their several localities, the measures essentie to be taken for relief, these have been fully explained, and patiently listened to. They have given the authentic information that has induced the Executive to authorise and sanction the departure from the strict letter of the Labour-rate Act, and to adopt a more benecial, if not a more correct, interpretation of its provisions. Surely, other questions may arise to de mand the immediate attention of the Ministry, and a body of practical men, well acquainted with, and deeply interested in, everything relating to the ap proaching famine, in providing an adequate supply of food for the people with the least possible addi tional burden on the already encumbered lands, who would often meet together, would prove a most valuable auxiliary to the Government, would urge them on to the adoption of useful regulations, and would be ready to point out the injurious tendency of any rules that might not have been sufficiently considered. They would spur them on when lagging, and retard too rapid a progress. We sincerely hope, therefore, that such a body may be constituted, and that by its proceedings, and the useful results it attains, it may prove how fallacious were the fears and prophecies that it would be turned to any other purpose than the legitimate one that led to and ori ginated its meetings. The Levant mail brings intelligence from Constan tinople of the 27th and from Athens of the 30th ult. A Constantinople letter of Sept. 26 states that the Porte had received intelligence of a new and consider able advantage gained by the Circassians over the Rus sians. It appears that the fort of Asahseck, near Aba sakh, being short of provisions, the Governor sent out a foragingparty, which fell in with a body of SCHAMYL'S men, and, after a short but severe conflict, the Russians were driven back within the fort. The Circassians then besieged the place, opening a heavy fire upon the citadel. An accident favoured the assailants. A lighted match fell on the powder-magazine, and caused its explo sion, whereby 33 Russian officers and 200 men were killed. The Circassians took advantouge of the con fusion, rushed into the fort, and, having put all the rest of the garrison to the sword, completely demo lished the citadel. According to the same letter, the whole of the Daghestan has revolted, and chosen : -. CHAMYL for its chief, who is believed to be meditat ing an attack on Georgia. The Aloniteur Grec states that M. COLETTI has been dangerously ill, but is recovering. It is announced, in a letter from Rome, of the 28th, that the POPB had granted to Messrs. JACKSON and Co. the concession of a railroad from Bologna to Rome and Civita Vecchia. A revolution broke out in Geneva o❑ Saturday, October 3d, in consequence of the refusal of the Council of State to vote for the unconditional dissolu tion of the League of the Catholic Cantons. The Council stipulated for a dissolution of the free corps in the first instance. This vote excited great discontent among the movement party, and popular meetings were convoked to protest against it. Proclamations were even published, calling the people to arms, and animated groups began to congregate in the quarter St. Gervais. A first aassembly was held on Saturday, in the Place du Temple, and five hundred citizens protested against the decision of the Grand Council. They con. yoked the people to a meeting for the next day, and it took place in the church of St. Gervais, 2,000 per sons being present. M. JAMES FAZY read a protest against the decision of the Grand Council, by which the vote is declared unconstitutional, and, as such, not binding, and null until the confederation had pronounced on its constitutional value. This was adopted by a show of hands, and M. JAMES FAZY himself designated twenty. five persons to form part of a constitutional committee charged to make direct representations to the Vorort. The agitation having assumed a very grave appearance, the partisans of the Government placed themselves on Monday at its orders, but at the same hour a fourth popular meeting took place in the Protestant church of St. Gervais. It presented a more violent and audacious aspect than the preceding ones. M. JAMES FAZY was of opinion to delay, saying that the moment for acting was not yet come. But on the proposition of M. SAMUEL MULLER, the meeting re solved, with cries of " Liberty or death !" to place on foot 300 armed men, to act during the night as the guard of the Faubourg. On its side the Government did not remain inactive, as the Council of State or dered that five companies of the city and one of the country should be called out. During the night of Monday the insurgents erected barriers is the Quarter of St. Gervais, which com manded the town. This step was adopted in conse quence of the Government having ordered the arrest of M. JAMES FAZY. The Government troops attacked the barricades, against which four pieces of cannon were directed. The insurgents replied by a smart and well-directed fire of musketry, and after a sharp conflict the Government troops were defeated at all points. The Council of State and the Syndic had resigned, and the insurgents, who had been aided by the Vaudois, were masters of the town when the dis patch left. This revolution will, at the next meeting of the Diet, secure the vote of Geneva against the ultramontanists, and thus turn the scale against the Jesuit party. Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived. The Gazette continues to publish pompous accounts of the progress of the French Princes towards the capital. The marriages were to take place on the 10th. Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS will continue to bear the title of Serene Highness until the meeting of the Cortes in December, when, in conformity with the wishes of the QUEEN, it will be proposed to that body to confer on him the title of King Consort. It was rumoured in Madrid that Prussia would shortly acknowledge Queen IsanELLA. Mr. Eur.wErc has left Madrid for Aranjuez, :and during the royal fetes he will make an excursion into Valencia. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The French Government received the following telegraphic dispatch on Friday:— "MADRID, OCT. 7.—The Princes entered Madrid on horseback yesterday at three o'clock in the after noon, the weather being extremely fine. Their Royal Highnesses received everywhere an their pa s . sage the most remarkable proofs of respect and sym pathy. The Queen and the Infanta received them admirably. Madrid yesterday had the appearance of a holiday. The most perfect tranquillity prevails to-day." In answer to the numerous misrepresentations of the French Ministerial journals on the subject of the protests of the English Government delivered to the French and Spanish Cabinets against the Montpensier marriage, the Conaitutionnel publishes the following statement : The Journal des Debats, exceedingly displeased at seeing us fulfilling, with a constant moderatkn and an imperturbable sincerity, the post of spectators and his torians which we have imposed on ourselves in the affair of the Spanish marriage, endeavours to avenge itself for the embarrassment which we cause it by sharpening against us its best epigrams. It calls us the French organs of the English Government ; and then endeavours to establish that wo do not know what we are talking of —that we are ill-informed. The Debuts does not per ceive that in endeavouring to be severe, it fails in a great want of logic. How can it find at the same time in our article, which it endeavours to refute, a proof that our news is erroneous, and that at the same time we obtain it from the English Government ? These two assertions cannot be true at the same time; aud, let us add, they are both false. We declare, first of all, that one correspondent has informed us correely of the communications made by the British Cabinet to the Governments of Paris and Madrid. We find the confirmation of this intelligence, except on a point of pure torm, in the pretended ratifica tion of the Debuts. We believe that it is perfectly true that the communication made on Monday by Lord Nor manby to M. Guizot consisted not in the presentation of a note addressed directly to the French Cisbinet by that of London, but in the reading of a note which was to be handed in by Mr. Bulwcr to the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Spain. We ourselves announced two days back that the communication had taken place in fret in this way. But this point accorded, we say that the Debars has itself confirmed what we have published. English Csbinet seeing that the treaty of Utrecht has for its object to prevent the union of the two crowns of France and Spain on the same head, appears to have remarked that in the stipulations of the treaty two essential precautions have been taken to rainier this union impossible ; on one side, the Bourbons of Spain have renounced for themselves and their descendants every claim to the crown of France ; and, on the other hand, the Bourbo ns France had r e no unce d a ll c l a i m t o th e crown of Spain. England thinks that the marriage of the Duke de Mont pensior with the heiress of the throne of Spain destroys this second precaution, and is a formal violation of the treaty of Utrecht ; she believes that the veritable means of reviving this stipulation would be to apply to the Duke and the future Duchess de Montpunsier, for themselves and their descendants, the renunciation to THE SUN, '.CAN DON, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 13, 1846. the throne of Spain contained in that treaty, and made by the Duke of Orleans for himself and his descendants. The English Cabinet believes that the great Powers of Europe vvi!l regard in the same tight as itself the modifications which the Spanish marriage causes in the European balance of power. It appears that it has sent instruc tions in this sense to Berlin, Vienna, and St. Peters burgh. We have no doubt that M. Guizot has sent con trary ones to our representatives at these same courts. As to the marriage itself, we have already stated our opinion quite different from that which' appears to pre vail in England. We by no means imagine thst the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier With the Infanta is of the political importance attached to it. There will not arise from it any increase of influence for France; it is probable, on the contrary, that our influence will be compromised by the very efforts made to proclaim it. This marriage is not, in our opinion, anything but a pure family arrangement, suitable in itself, but which has been turned into a European question by an ill-conduct( d ne gotiation of two years, and by the strange conduct adopted towards England. It is evident that the Cabinet of London has not been able to comprehend how, fOr a simple family interest, the entente cordiale, so much cried up during six years, could have been violently broken asunder." The Presse admits that the misunderstanding be tween the French and English Governmen's is of a very serious nature, but imagines that things will be arranged by a change in the English Ministry. It contends that " the Whigs of the present day are only following in the footsteps of their predecessors —the Whig Ministers of Queen ANNE," and " that the results will be the same. They (the present Whigs) will be discarded, and a Tory Ministry will be called to office, who will not object to the acces sion to the throne of Spain of a grandson of Louse PHILIPPE, King of the French." England is not yet a French province, and we do not think that John Bull would very quietly submit to be dictated to by the KING of the FRENCH as to the choice cf his servants. Accounts from Algiers state that AnD-EL-KADER is in the environs of Tezza, but that I3ou Maz.t was still menacing the French frontier, although his at tempts t - _, raise the Arab tribes had hitherto proved unsuccessful. The Minister of Marine and the Mi nister of Public Works have returned to Paris. The Courrier Francais says—" General de FITTE, Inspector of Marines, has just received a letter writ ten to Wm at Otaheite by an officer of his own corps, according to which our troops in the island experi• enced a check in a conflict with the natives on May 30. It is added ,that Chief de Bataillon DE BREAT, of the Marines, and Lieutenant MAL - statics-IE, of the Navy, and about thirty men were killed." It was reported on the Paris Bourse on, S2turday that Cadiz had pronounced against the Spanish Go vernment, and that CABRERA had landed in Valencia. The price of flour fell on Thursday nearly 2f. the quintal, at the Hall of Paris. The French Government, it is aid, has just decided on a measure to calm, in some degree, the uneasiness caused by the dearness of corn. It intends imposing, as an express condition, on all persons obtaining con tracts for the navy and army for bread, biscuit, or flour, to make them of corn purchased in foreign countries.

SIR,-Permit me to call your attention to a few oh. serrations on the subject of the Spanish debt, which I trust you will consider worthy attention ; in which case, if you would allude to them in the City Artidle of The Sun, yon w ould render an essential service to the Eng lish creditors of Spain, and greatly add to the many ob ligatimis they are already under for your attention to their interests. In the first place I would remark, that even if it were now in the power of the Spanish Government to pay off the whole debt, and they were so to do, still the greater part of the money ad vance d t o S pa i n b y th i s country would be lost to it, in consequence of the largest portion of the Active Bonds having been purchased, on foreign account, at low prices, and withdrawn from circulation here. TO such an extent has this b.en the case, that one only of the five classes into which the Bonds in question are divided, can now be purchased on the London Stock Exchange. The distress of the English holders, occasioned by the non-payment of their divi dends, having thus compelled them to dispose of the greater portion of their Bonds fur a small part of their original cost, they surely have now an equitable claim en the Spanish Government to make provision, in the first instance, for that portion of the Bonds which still remains in their hands ; and, ii:mreov(•r, as the public lands in Spain, which were pledged as security for the repayment of the English loans, have been appropriated to other purposes, they ought also to require that a por tion at least of the revenues of Cuba should be substi tuted as an equivalent, for that purpose ; at the same time endeavouring to obtain the sanction of our own Government to such demand. _ -- - Although the London Stock Exchange has been nearly cleared of Active Bonds, this has not been the case with the Passive, the whole of which description of Spanish Stock appears still to remain in this country; so that the holders of it continue at the present time the majority of the English creditors of Spain. It becomes, therefore, important to remind them that the decree of the 28th of February, 1836, provided for the conversion of the whole of the Passive into Active Bonds—the holders of the former to receive for every 100/. Bond as much Active Stock as would produce 25/. in cash at the market price. This would have the effect of nearly equalising the value of both descriptions of Stock. The claims of the holders of Passive Bonds under this decree has hitherto remained in abeyance, in common with the claims of the major part of the other creditors, but the time has now arrived when they should claim the full benefit of it. As every Passive Bond represents a like amount in pounds sterling of the early arrears of interest on the English loans—overdue Coupons to the amountout of 100/. sterling having been given in exchange ey 100/. Passive Bond —surely the claims of the holders are as valid as those of the foreign holder of Active Bonds, purchased for a fraction of their original cost, notwithstanding the price of the latter is now above 26, while that of the former is now G. Begging the favour of your allusion to these observa tions, I remain, Sic, yours most resp ect f u ll y, AN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE BONDIIOLDER. City, Oct. 9.

NEW GAS WORKS, KENSAL-GREEN.—A meeting of the freeholders, leaseholders, and proprietors of houses and land in the district of St. John's, Kensal-green, was held at the William the Fourth Tavern, Kensal-green, on Thursday afternoon, the Bth inst., to take into con sideratien the subject of the works now being erected by the Western Gas Company, and the serious injury to health and property in the neighbourhood which is likely to be created thereby. The Rev. A. G. Pember ton, incu m b ent of St. John's, occupied the chair, and the m ee ti ng was addressed by Mr. Thorne, Mr. An drews, Dr. B rown, and the Rev. J. Twigger (chapl a i n to the c emetery and other influential gentlemen, a ll o f whom e x p ressed their determination to oppose the erect ing of gas works, as it was believed they would injure health and deteriorate property. In this opinion they were supported by the highest scientific authorities, who asserted that gas could not be made from any descrip tion of coal without causing the most deleterious effects to the neighbourhood. Resolutions embodying these opinions were carried by overwhelming majorities ; on no occasion w , re more than six hands held up against them. It was further resolved to memorialise the Privy Council of the Board of Trade against the intended nuisance. S everal proprietors of land, including the wardens of All Souls College and the Cemetery Com pany, h ave g i ven notice that they will hold the Gas Company responsible for auy injury perty.done to their pro- STOPPAG E OP CITY TPIOROUGEFARES.-0O Satur day the Commissioners of Sewers gave notice that the following thoroughfares would be stopped during the month of October :—Princes-street, Rosemary-lane, Devonshire -street, Sereetappi.e-court, Garliek-hill, \Vest street, Three Crane -court, and Thames-street, fur the purpose of paving.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The market for Cotton at Liverpool was more quiet on Saturday, but prices were steady. Sales were 4,000 to 5,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation. It would appear that the meeting of the ironmasters last week (which was a quarterly assemblage to discuss the tariff of prices for the next three months) concluded with the determination to make an advance, in conse quence of t he number of orders they have on their books. The state of the trade was, at the meeting referred to, represented as most wholes( me. Some papers have come to hand from the Cape of Good Hope this morning, but they do not contain any really important intelligence, though there is an ampli fication of the state of affairs on the frontier, of occur rences already made public on the receipt of the pre-- vious arrival. Matters appear, upon the whole, to be mending at the Cape. There has been an advancing market for meal to-day. Prices are getting exorbitantly high. The Grain market is firm to-day, but not higher. The stands are well supplied, but it is considered very doubtful if the quantities offered will be cleared off to-day. The payment of the Quarterly Dividends is going on. Money is not much in demand to-day. In the Stock Exchange business has been anin - ,ated to-day; the transfer books having re-opened, there is no haste for private bargains. Consols for Money have fallen from 95i to 94, and for Account from 951 to 95a. The Spanish marriages are no longer made a bug-bear by the bears to produce a fall in prices. The opening value of the Reduced Three per Cents. was 941 -a, it is now rather lower, with the dividend deducted. Ex chequer-hills are steady at 15s. 18s. premium, and Bank Stock at 207 ex. dividend. Mexican Bonds have started from 22 to 24 on the report that news has been received of the war between Mexico and the United States having ended. For Por turguese Four per Cents, the demand is heavy at 41 only. Spanish Five per Cent. Stock is at 262, the 'Tim e per Cents. at 37 1 g, and Dutch Four per Cents. at 921. 'The prices of Railway Shares and Scrips are generally lower this morning. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK Bank Stock 206 207 ex div 3 per Cent. Reduced Anns 94 1 4% 1 / s ex div 3 per Cent.

LEEDS, OCTOBER 10. Broca EXCEIANGE.-The Share Markets have remained dull through the week, though improved a little to-day by the demand for the close of the account. The extra supply of stock for sale has in most instances been sufficient to meet the requirements for the termina tion of outstanding transactions, without producing higher prices, and sellers continue to preponderate on the Leeds market to-day. Old stocks are all lower, and a desire to realise upon them is very apparent. We partly attribute this to the demand for money for mercantile purposes. A very extensive business has been passing in Ornaskirks during the week, which has caused an improvement of about 10s. per share in them; and York and North Midland East and West Ridings, and New Darlingtons are also higher.

Feeling ! J o tied that these cattle were those belonging to Usisn' t tt tribe I did not pursue them, being determined e n t e los s allow anything to divert me from my object in I°' at ing up Pato. I therefore continued my march to' lower passes of the Kye River. Detaching Col fr- g e Size's battalion -by a lower mute along the coast, I Pee sued them to the Kye River, where they had crossed n os cattle late on the 19th inst., and where I arrived latn s n the afternoon of the 20th i ns t. H av i ng reeel',v information that the enemy had passed over witkos their cattle to the east bank of the Kye River, I in.° o te the troops up on the morning of the 21st inst., when ie served large herds of cattle on the heights on the °Pro ~ site bank. The enemy having posted strong Piit tl i g e both mounted and dismounted, at several points, : to mediately made the necessary dispositions for eroSIVi, the river. In the course of the morning I was joine',l o t Captain Size's battalion, who had captured 270 hell' u s ca tie and taken four prisoners. Having placed the goo under Captain Barnsley in position so as to cover dot movements, I directed the Fort Peddie Fingoes 0 ” t o Mr. Shepstone to move down the bank of the - rif e o el the ford. The Burgher forces under Command a ntli Linde and Muller, having also moved down to the s i s * Captain Napier, with Captain Donovan's squsSn e sj C M.R., moved in support. These arrangements m r , effected, I directed the whole of these troops W s ° o o The movements were effected in the most spirite d os t ner by the whole of th e f o r ce em pl o y e d. In conseqn ig,sge sof of th e i m p over i s h e d state o f t h e h orses t h e Dur forces were oblig e d to move on foot. Observing , t be droves o f catt l e pass i ng along the lower b an ks of l i c e I river, I move d two companies of Captain Size ' s batt ssg down the bank of the river to the southward, direed Captain Melville's company to proceed up the riv er ' enter a large kloof on the oppo:site side. g Od As the Fingoes advanced, I observed the pinn, e , ts a detachments of the en emy ret i ring, and proceeninvOs wards the large bodies of the cat tie on the heights• sa e troops continued to push on, asstacking th e Kafirs win o . ever they found them, and I lead the sa ti s f a ction e ' r si, very short time, in observing the several detanh °l of acting against the enemy, retarning in posses sion large droves of cattle belonging to the chief Pato. sci s A body of Command an t Li od e ' s Burghers , ._ne Captain G roenwa ld t , were shar engaged with tole enemy, a.2cl their s pi r i te d l ea d ( tr was unfortu na wounded by a musket ball through the arm.

Sh epstono, who with h i s were twice surro un d e d b y the enemy . ; each time disengaged themselves in the most ,spirited manner, t o secured large numbers of cattle.

I took the necessary pre° a n t' of sending a supporting force of the Cape 1 4 4 till Rifles down t o th e f or d to ass i st i n crossing wDare" cattle, and by six P.N., I had the whole of the &Pth°, cattle, about 4,000 head, sate in my camp. Earl): ige y following morning I detached 100 men of .Captain rtllei battalion to the ford in support of Captain ni e- s ein whom I had observed spiritedly engaged with the e n :10/ and in possession of about 1,000 head of cattle and "bd, horses. Captain Melville joined me with the eattle s n s riv ten A. having been the whole morning engager, the enemy, who continued to fire upon his penl 3l l though I was on the bank of the river with a large '`) in support. I decided to avail myself of the services of the ,0 14 , soners to comm un i cate with Kreli and Pato, the pitooL: having a cqua i nted me that Pato and Umhalla three days previously received from Kreli his pert" ( , for crossing w ith t h e i r cattle over the Kye. I then el' in the pr esence o f the troops, sent to cad: chief s tly sage to the following purport —" Acquahst - Pan th o Thnhalla that I h ave se i zed these cattle for the nse 0 ,i 01 troops ; that I s h a ll ta k e these cattle to the g o'- p ° - and I shall then return.
