Throughout almost every indi vidual section of that population an intense antipathy has been thereby excited against everything Gallic, and against everything that recalls la granule nation to their recollection. Not merely have these sentiments of hostility been developed by caustic commentaries in the Madrid newspapers, and by impassioned petitions to Queen ISABELLA, but, according to private and credible information, the conversations in the domestic circles of the Peninsular metropolis are coloured by the same feelings of indignation, and atrabilious pas quinades against the projected alliance are vended and sung in its thoroughfares. All classes, excepting only that mongrel class entitled the Afrancesados, are united in deprecating the diplomacy of the French Ambassador. We remember in one of the charming stories of the Flemish novelist lirisaten ScuoaKE he illustrates the demoraliing and denationalising influence of one country becoming subservient to the habits, customs, manners, language, and policy of a foreign race : he displays the frivolity, and even the ignominious criminality of such a petty imitation ; and does so by instancing the Frenchifled burgo masters and burgomaster.' wives and coquettish frows, still so numerous amongst his countrymen. That little book has already tended somewhat to the diminution of that Gallo-mania in Flanders. Precisely such a pas sion for French influence has been latterly infecting the Spanish Court and the Spanish officials, while amongst the Spanish multitude a thorough abhor• rence of everything French has prOportionably risen. Upon this particular, what says the valiant document THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORN IN 0, SEPTEMPER 16, t 846. penned by the Liberal party to ISA BELLA " For a century and a half," it exclaims; " an invading tor rent has been pouring down upon us from the crest of the Pyrenees, and on all sides destroying our na tionality. Our customs are French ; our language would not be understood by the LEONS, the HER.. BMUS, the CERVANTES, or the SOLIS. Our fathers could not recognise our costume. Our Government is French, our Administration is French ; our laws are framed on a French model." These are the truths which have long impressed themselves with a miserable forcefulness upon the hearts of those Spaniards who have retained an af fection for the genius of patriotism ; these are the impressions which have rankled amongst the popula tion during several years, and which the recent pro position for an intermarriage between the youngest son of King Louis PHILIPPE and the only sister of ISABELLA has carried to such an excess as to render a general turmoil infinitely more than probable. " Nations, Senora," say the Liberalists in their supplication to her MAJESTY, " nations have their prejudices as well as individuals ;" and they might have subjoined with equal veracity that the antipathies of nations are so much the more irre sistible than the antipathies of individuals, as is an unit inferior in numerical importance to many mil lions. The individual antipathy, like the solitary stick mentioned by IESOP, may be subdued or broken, while the antipathies of an entire community, like the bundle of sticks in the same fable, would resist all efforts at their destruction. But the document to which we have already referred is not satisfied with these significant and forcible declarations; it cries out as plainly as language can express it, " There is danger in the proposed alliance with Prince ANTOINE MARIE PHILIPPE Louis D'ORLEANS, Duc de Montpensier !" It adjures the Sovereign to prevent an union so ob noxious to her subjects generally ; and even utters these emphatic and earnest words—" Could your Majesty go amongst the masses of your people, and hear their voice—the voice of the high, the middling, and the low—one cry you might hear, one cry only, and that is, Put no trust in France !' " I When we consider the excitement requisite for the production of such passionate supplications from such a people as the modern Spanish to such a Sovereign as ISABELLA, we cannot but confess to ourselves that there must be an under-current of awful and impetuous force already at work. What will be the course pursued by the political ad visers of the Queen of SPAIN ? What will be con ceded or required by the KING of the FRENCH ? They behold the intense repugnance with which the subjects of the former hear of the marriage of her sister with the son of the latter ; one of them is the recipient of various urgent and eloquent appeals for. the rejection of the French suitor ; the treaty of Utrecht is quoted as a proof of the impossibility of such an alliance; such violent articles are written in the Madrid journals, that the Clamor, the Espectador, and the Eco del Comercio, are seized by police agents. The latter print actually maintains that though one hundred thousand French bayonets came to uphold the claims of the Duo DE MONTPENSIER, the protest of Mr. BULWER would still remain "to wrap them up in, and Spanish howls to break them r Notwithstanding all these indications of the violent animosities excited by this matrimonial alliance with the IN FANTA, the Gazette officially announces that it has been " stipulated and agreed to by his Excellency Don FRANCISCO JAVIER ISTURITZ;" the day of the Duc DE MoNTPENSIER'S departure for the Penin sula is decided upon ; the trousseau of the INFANTA is said to be in _preparation in the workshop of a Parisian jeweller, and the very morning of the marriage is pre-ar7anged. The ultimate consequence of such a clashing between the interests of the go vernors and the governed is manifest. Amongst the many remedies recently put forward on behalf of the landlords of Ireland, and for the mitigation of the existing distress, is one suggested by Mr. HORACE ROCEFORT, a gentleman of con siderable landed property, a magistrate, and deputy lieutenant. He proposes that the State should become the creditor of the vast majority of the land owners ; that the Government should lend money at three-and-a-half per cent. to all landed proprietors who possess encumbered estates, to pay off their ex ;efinne vtarf crPsYm ITivey-frign..thire." . the difference of interest between three-and-a-half and five or six per cent. annually on their estates in permanent improvements, these improvements to be carried out by the landlords themselves and their tenants, under the immediate supervision and control of the Board of Works, assisted by a staff of com• petent officers. lie rather innocently assures us that the landlords would probably have no objection to have the State for a creditor instead of an indi vidual, and that the paying off of so many mortgages would have the effect of unlocking so much more capital for investment in land and its improvement. Most assuredly modesty is not the prevailing fault of Mr. ROCHFORT. Often before has the principle been mooted, aye and acted on, that the country should lend money on sufficient security for the pur pose of being expended on permanent and lasting improvements ; but it is the first time that the State has been called on to minister to the extravagance, the improvidence of one particular class, by lending money for the purpose of paying off their debts, and enabling them to improve their, estates at the expense of the nation. We do not know what the landlords would say i( a measure should be brought forward providing that the manufacturers and millowners (a really industrious and useful class, employing a vast quantity of human labour, and of the greatest benefit to the nation at large) should be permitted to increase their capital to any extent they pleased by borrowing from the State, and applying to their own use the profit to be made thereon over three-and-a-half per cer.t.,.and letting the nation take the risk and respon sibility of loss, the entire expense of the staff of officers who should be employed for the purpose of ascertaining that the work was duly executed, the quantity of employment afforded. According to the terms of the contract, we venture to say that such a proposition would be received with one universal shout of ridicule throughout the length and breadth of the land. It would truly be said to be a most im proper and unjustifiable interference with private speculation ; that the nation should not become money lenders, and take upon itself the business of capitalists, who are always prepared to advance money on adequate security at a fair and reasonable rate of interest. And what is there in the present times to induce Mr. ROCIIFORT to believe that a proposition fully as objectionable, one productive of far less be nefit in the way of affording full employment, should be adopted, for the sole benefit of the landlords ? Most assuredly he must fancy that.the good old days when the corn-laws were enacted had returned, and that a legislature could again be found who would tax the food of the hard-working and laborious artizan, fetter our commerce, and impose extraordinary re strictions on our trade, for the purpose of increasing the incomes and maintaining in idleness a favoured class. We shall suppose for a moment that such a step was practicable ; that the 150 millions of pounds sterling, which would at the very least be required for the purpose of liquidating the charges affecting land in Ireland, could be procured ; that there is so arge an amount of surplus capital in the country, which could be obtained by the nation at three -and a-half per cent. interest, in addition to tho amount already required for the completion of the railways that are in course of construction, or liAve received the Parliamentary sanction, and for ti - ,e other public • works through ou t th e country, and the ordinary re quirements of trade and commere a; that the monetary disarrangement consequent upon a trans ac ti on o f such enormous magnitude could be got over, and that the other classes woulii submit to the monstrous in justice of being taxed for the exclusive benefit of the landowners—a supposition that the history and pro gress of the Anti-Corn-law League renders not very probable. Let us inquire where would be the public benefit commensurate with so great a risk, so large an expenditure. It would prolong the evil un . :ier which Ireland has been so long suffering, one ci the chief causes of her impoverished and wretchr...d state, viz,, a landed proprietary, who, from their encum brances and embarrassments, are una ole to discharge the duties incidental to their propert y the unfortunate peasant ry t h e hi gaes 1 *who exact from t; rack-rent that can possibly be obtained.*- It would. put an eff ec t ua l stop t o a ll i mprovement save f - , l 4 p A p eff ec t e d at-the public expense. Very little, if any, additional la bour would be thereby employed ; the same labourers now occupied would be paid a portion of their wages therewith ; practically the entire difference of inte rest would go into the pcckets of the landlords-- they, and they only, would be benefited. A more simple and proper way of escaping the difficulty offers itself. Why should those persons who are placed in such difficulties retain the lands in their own hands ? There is ample capital throughout the country for the purchase of any lands that may be offered for sale. - Why should those persons who are unable to improve their lands—who.cannot give em ployment—still retain them ? Why do they not dispose of them to those who both could and would develop their capabilities to the fullest extent? I there must be an interference by the State, it may be to compel the sale of any estate or property the amount of encumbrances affecting which exceed a given proportion of the estimated value. This, in Ireland, can be immediately ascertained by simple searches; and, objectionable as such interference cn the part of the State with private property must ever be, circumstances may arise as to render it not merely expedient, but absolutely necessary. Count SOLAR DE LA MARGARITA, the Sardinian Mini.ter of Foreign Affairs, arrived at Rome on the 3d instant. The Count, who is a great partisan of the Jesuits, but who is opposed to the Austrian domi nation in Italy, comes on a private mission from Bing CARLO ALBERTO tO the POPE. Madrid papers to the Bth have been received. With the exception of the Heraldo, they all con tinue to protest most vehemently against the MONT PENSIER marriage. In commenting on the observa tions of the Heraldo on the correspondence which has taken place between Mr. BULWER and Senor ISTURITZ, the Tiempo says : " Nothing can be more ridiculous than the late asser t tions of M. Isturitz, in his reply to the note of ➢ir. flulwer, as reported by the Heraldo. Is the opinion of England to be consulted on the question of the marriage of our Queen ? Why not ? Is that of France, also ? Who can doubt it ? The difficulty, the evil, is not to hear those opinions, but to obey them blindly a 3 the slave obeys his master. To dare to say to England that she has not a deliberative voice on the question ! Might it be said that the wane has been done towards France, and that the Spanish Government has e!osed its ears to her advice and to her orders ? Such, nevertheless, are our statesmen !" The Eco del Comercio publishes the petition ad dressed to the Constitutional QUEEN against the mar riage. It commences by congratulating her MA JESTY on the choice she has made of her husband in Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS, one of the candidates pointed out by public opinion, but it deplores that the satisfaction caused to the nation by that happy news should be marred by the announcement of the mar riage of the immediate heir to the Crown with a French Prince. It then goes on to show that the Duke DE MONTPENSIFR is incapable of aspiring to the hand of the Infanta of SPAIN, and argues in favour of that opinion on the treaty of Utrecht, and the re nunciation of PHILIP V., for himself and his de- scendants, of any right to the succession to the throne of France, and of a similar renunciation of all the branches of the Royal Family of France to the throne of Spain. The actual political consti tution of Spain also forbids the KING and his imme diate successor from contracting any marriage with a person excluded by the law, and, consequently, that the union of the Duke DE MONTPENSIER with the INFANTA cannot take place without a violation of a law of the kingdom, and of an article of the constitution. After setting forth these considerations, founded on the ancient laws, and on the actual constitution of Spain, the Eco adds that the feeling of the nation re jects the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. It deplore the state of humiliation into which has fallen that Spain so powerful a century and a half ago, which discovered America, took possession of Africa, invaded Asia, and was respected by all the nations of the earth. The manners, the customs, the government, the laws, and even the language of Spain have, it says, submitted to the influence of France ; in the eyes of some bad Spaniards nothing is good but what comes from the banks of the Seine, and they only aspire to make of Spain a satellite to the French planet. It is time' that a vigorous hand should oppose itself to this torrent which threatens to the inofives which edge the aversion which good Spaniards bear towards France, by noticing the war of French invasion, and the persecutions to which Spanish Liberals have been subjected by the new Government of France. The Eco concludes by call ing on all good Spaniards to affix their signatures to the petition, pointing out the places where they may do so. This petition has already received 15,000 sig natures in Madrid, and the Liberals of Seville have signified their adhesion to its principles. The Heraldo contains a reply to the arguments against the marriage based on the treaty of Utrecht, and replies that England herself was the first to annul the treaty by refusing to receive Spanish sugars. We may, therefore, thank the avarice of our protectionists, the absurd Quixotism of some of " Les amis des Noirs," and the pliancy of Lord ABERDEEN in giving way to the union of folly with hypocrisy and covetousness for these complications, from the whole of which we should have escaped if the prin ciples of common sense" had been in the ascendant in the years 1844 and 1845. TheEspectador, the Clamor Publico, and the Eco del Comercio of the Bth were all seized cn account of their observations on Mr. BULWERIS note. The Bolsa was closed on the Bth, as it was the fete of the nativity of the Virgin. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The following appears in the Moniteur : " The journals had announced last year the depar ture of M. KLEIN on a mission from the French and English Company of the Isthmus of Panama, to the effect of presenting to the Government of New Grenada the draught of a treaty for the concession and opening of a communication between the two oceans. M. KLEIN has returned from his mission, and arrived at Bogota with a copy of the treaty, and of the conditions of the contract for the execution of a railroad across the Isthmus of Panama, debated between him and a commissioner appointed ad hoc by the President of the Republic. This project, duly signed by the commissioner of the Government, has been officially communicated to the company. The latter and the Republic have now only to re gulate certain points, which, from their good under standing and consideration of mutual interest, they will speedily arrange. The MONTPENSIEN marriage appears to be quite as unpopular with the Liberal party in France as it is with that in Spain. The following from the Na tional will give our readers an idea of the light in which this union is viewed by the French Republi cans " We have received several letters from Madrid dated the 7th instant. The irritation caused by the projected ' marriage of the Duke de Montpensier becomes every day greater. The famous Count Trapani was never more unpopular than is now the Ring of the French. A great freedom of conversation reigns in all the places of public resort, and public opinion is very openly and loudly manifested. Numerous groups assembled on the evening of the 6th, which openly railed against M. Bresson, the French Ministers, and the project which has caused such strong reprobation. A petition hay ing for its obje c t to demand of th e Q ueen not to accom plish the inarriage, was put into circulati on , and in less than five hours received 15,000 signatures. This is a eery rare fact in that country, and may be considered as of a very expressive signification. The Progressista party at Seville has held a meeting and has sent to Madrid an energetic adhesion to the protest which ap peared in the journals of the capital some days since. All the letters agree in stating that the opposition in the approaching meeting of the Cortes will declare itself strongly against the marriage of the Infanta. Deputiest of the Moderado party are spoken of as having pledged themselves to oppose the project with all their energy ; and there is little doubt but that the presence of Narvaez will still more increase the public anger. The Ministers appear to have foreseen this, for they have appointed M. Miraflores President of the Senate, a post said to have been reserved for the butcher of Va lencia. The great hopes of parties rest on the future conduct of England. On this subject a letter which we have before us contains the following news, which ap pears to us very curious, and the writer is likely to be well informed :--‘ Queen Christina paid a visit without cere mony and incognito to Mr. Bulwer, at Carabanchel. Whatever may have been said, and whatever she may have said to France, the marriage of her daughter to Don Francisco does not please her, and she would readily abandon the second marriage if a means could be found to prevent the first. After thi. interview Mr. Bulwer addressed a fresh note to M. Isturita, and after wards sent oft a courier to London. Last night a courier arrived at the French embassy from. Paris, bearing an o rderfr om Louis Philippe to demand officially the hand of the Infants. We wait with impatience for the reply of the British Cabinet, but it can scarcely be here before the 10th or 12th. We live on burning coals.' Such are the principal facts contained in our voluminous correspondence; we have suppressed all the rellEctions, the complaints, and the violent accusations which it contains. We believe that the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier will take place ; but we are convinced that it will infallibly lead to fresh civil wars in Spain, and to the most perilous complications for France." The Prince and Princess of SALERNO have left Paris for Brussels, as the Palace of the Elysee Bour bon, which they have occupied for some months past, is destined for the future residence of the Due DE MONTPENSIER. The Prince was said said to have said, on parting (in allusion to the attempt of the regicide LECOMTE, from which he, too, was placed in danger), " IVel ! at Brussels we shall, at least, have no parties of pleasure." A letter from Oran, dated August 28, published in the Toulonnais of the 10th, states, that a large French force was being concentrated on the Moorish frontiers, as if in anticipation of an immediate attack on that side, or an invasion of Morocco meditated. At Djemma Ghazaouat, General POURAILLY had un der his orders a division of six battalions of infantry and eight squadrons of cavalry, and General CAVAIO NAC commanded a still greater force at Lalla Magh rina. 111An5itimacs, SEPT. 9.—Marseilles and Avignon, 912 f. 50c. ; Northern, 725 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 532 f. 50c.

A public meeting of the scripholders in this Company was held yesterday at the King's Arms Hotel, Palace-Yard,Westminster, to take into consideration the position of the Company, and to adopt measures for their future guidance. Sir John Barker Mill took the chair. The Secretary having read the advertisement calling the meeting, Mr. J. WALKIXSHAW, deputy-chairman, then said he wished to inform the meeting that they had on the table memorials from Cheltenham, Cirencester, Crick lade, Swindon, Marlborough, Andover, Stockbridge, Romsey, and Southampton, praying that the directors would proceed with the line. Letters also had been re ceived from Earl Bruce and Viscount Duncannon to the same effect, and he stated that other noblemen and influential landholders on the line had signed one or other of the numerous memorials which had ben got up with a view to urging the di rectors to continue their application to Parliament for their Act authorising the construction of the line. He further deprecated any expression on that occasion of ir ritable feelings which were so apt to be occasioned by temporary failure in railway matters ; he was sure that any such expressions would only tend to im pede their future progress. He assured the meeting that for himself and the directors it was not their inten tion on that occasion to use any means which would influence the vote of the scripholders, that the result might be purely their own. The Secretary then read the report. Sir JOHN BARKER MILL rose to move " That the re port now read be received and printed for distribution amongst the shareholders." He said he did not feel himself called upon to enter at any length into the de tills after the ample report which had been read. Contrary to his expectation, he regretted to say that they had been disappointed of stecess before Parliament. He joined with the deputy-chairmen in deprecating any expression of angry feeling on that occasion, and he was happy to allude to the numerous and spontaneous meetings which from one end of the land to the other had been held to urge them to persist in their application to Parliament, and he hoped one day, as their chairman, to be able to congratulate them on receiving their Bill. The object of their meeting then was to say whether they would persist in going again to Parliament, or whe ther they would at once give up their Bill. He would venture to suggest one thing—that he hoped the share holders would continue to support the directors, who were yet prepared to continue their exertions, and to undertake any responsibility in going to Parliament. Mr. Row, High Bailiff of Cheltenham, seconded the motion. The Rev. FRANCIS CLOSE, said that he appeared on that occasion representing the people of his parish. He was called up from his seat by the word used by the Chairman, in describing the meet ings as spontaneous. He had never seen a more spon taneous and more unanimous meeting of his parish. ioners. They were all most forward for the suc• cess of this line, and nothing seemed to give them more concern than tke announcement that the Company had failed of success, or to excite more their indignation than the conduct of those opponents through whom they had met with that failure. Their approach to the town of Cheltenham had not been such as to meet with the entire approbation of the town, but rather than throw any obstacle in the way of the Comrginsz'sa.esseeseses After a few words from EDWARD TOOTAL, Esq., from Manchester, JAMES HosarNs, Esq., Mayor of Portsmouth, said he would urge them to continue their exertions for the line, first because it was a good line. It was a good line, because, connecting the great manufacturing towns of tle north with the great seaport towns of the south, it opened a track of country unsupplied with railway communication. He urged them to do so, secondly, because they had the most ample and over whelming evidence to show that it was a good line, con gdom ex c ept fi ve ; an d thi r dl y, vincing to all in the kin because all the inhabitants on the route of the line were unanimously in favour of it. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously with great applause. Mr. WALKINGSHAW in moving the second resolution said, he would but repeat what he had already said, that he, or his brother directors would do or say nothing which would in one iota sway in any way the opinion of the shareholders on the subject. He moved:— " That this meeting declares its deliberate opinion to be that the line advocated by the Company is called for by the public interests, and ought to be made, and that nothing occurred in the course of the Parliamentary proceedings which at all affects the confidence of the shareholders in the soundness of the undertaking, as a valuable investment." Lord ERNEST BRUCE, in supporting the resolution, said he appeared as the representative of the town of Marlborough, and stated the very great necessity which that town and Andover both had for that communica tion proffered by the line, and impressed upon the meet ing the desirableness of proceeding with it. As no other person felt inclined to speak on the re solution, it was put and carried with acclamation. Mr. G. FARQUHAR said he supported the line entirely on public grounds, for he was sure that once made it would becoine one of the most important main trunk lines in the kingdom ; and, in common with others, felt strongly inclined to urge the meeting to vote for prosecuting the line. He moved:— " That, therefore,a renewed application be made to Par liament in the ensuing session for an Act to authorise the construction of the railway, with such changes and modifications, if any, as to the directors may seem meet ; and that the directors be, and they are hereby autho rised to take such steps, based upon the suggestions con tained in their report, as they may think fit, with a view to give effect to this resolution ; and that they be further authorised to allow dissentient shareholders to withdraw, and the scrip be re-issued in such manner and upon such terms as they shall think expedient." Mr. WILLIAM LANKESTER, from Southampton, said it was the strong desire of the people of that town to get a connexion with :the north-west by way of Chel tenham into Wales, the west of Scotland, and also with the coast of Ireland. It was of no avail` to have given them the line by Oxford, for they could not be convinced that the longest way round was he nearest way home. C tnsidering it was the main port for the mail packet from Asia, and an arsenal of the kingdom, it was no wonder that the people were united in their determination and their purpose to have this line. They felt strongly on the subject, and not a little indig nant, if they might be allowed to express it, at the Bill having been thrown out, and they pledged themselves not to rest till they had obtained it. The resolution was carried. Mr. GEORGE, of Romsey, moved—" That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the directors for the energy and ability with which they have devoted them selves to the interests of this Company, and for the ten der of continued service, which their report of this day contains." It was seconded by Dir. SAINSBURY, and carried unanimously. The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN, at the request of the Hon. Baronet in the chair, acknowledged the honour which the meeting had done them. He begged now to state what he reserved before, that the directors were now doubly confident of success, from the evidence which had come out in favour of the line. He said, also, that within the last few days more than twenty thousand scrip had been sent in ursolicited to the office, with urgent requests to proceed. He then referred to the opinion of Mr. Robert Stephenson, their engineer, that no line of railway could be laid down at a cheaper rate, and to the admissio n o f Mr. Brunel, the engineer of the opposing line, that ho would not interfere with the Great Western, though made, and that line along the route must one day yet be made. They had retained their old friends, they had he new ones ; they had gained the co-operation of the South-Western, and he might say, now that they had determined to proceed, that they would further have the co-operation of the greatest lines in the country, although he could not enter more into particulars then. Lord Ernest Bruce having been voted into the chair, a unanimous vote of thanks to Sir John Barker Mill was passed by the meeting, which then broke up.

The sales of Cotton in the Liverpol market yesterday were 20,000 kilt's, iccluding 10,000 American; 1,500 Egyptian ; and 1,500 Surat on speculaticn. The ad vance in the price of American sorts under sd. per lb. was about -id. per lb., and in those above 5d., Fl. per lb.; Egyptian and Surat were also gd, per lb. higher. Holders met freely the extensive demand. Shares were fiat. Messra. Lamond and Co.'s sale of Railway Shares yesterday was well attended, and a fair business done, but rather quiet. The fear exists that the market is again about to decline seriously. East Indians very flat; Dutch Rhenish have improved from q- to 4 dis. Some prices in Belgian lines very low. The following are a few of the principal sales:— East Indian Direct Northern 1 14 6 Grand Union 0 12 6 Louvain hla Sambre South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 ...... 3 1 0 London and Blackwell, New ......... 4 3 0 London and York ... 2 0 6 Dutch Rhenish Manchester and Southampton 1 2 6 Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham . 0 11 6 Taw Vale Extension and Dock ...... 0 12 6 Reading and Rein-'ate Shrewsbury and Birmingham ..... 215 0 Eastern Counties, York Extension 2 2 0 Churnet and Blythe Manchester and Leeds, Quarters 6 10 0 Cornwall and Devon Central Boston, Newark, and Sheffield 0 15 0 Leicester and Bedford Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston Over Yssel There are late accounts from the Brazils to-day. The most recent date is to the 16th of July. Freights more scarce. The military operations against Rio Graude were in active progress. The following from New York is worth quoting:— " The commerce of the north and west is developing itself with a rapidity greater than even the expe rience of recent years has warranted us to expect. Lt 1833, there were on the Lakes eleven steamers, which cost 360,000 dollars, and which conveyed to and from the lake ports 61,485 passengers. In 1834, there were eighteen steam-boats in the trade, which cost 600,000 dollars. 1845, the following vessels navigated the Lakes, above the Falls of Niagara. Steamboats 52, 29,500 tons; propellers 8, 2,500 tons; brigs 59, 11,000 tons; schooners 270, 42,000 tons. Total 380, 76,000 tons. The cost of the construction of these vessels was 4,600,000 dollars. In 1845, not less than 1,500,000 barrels of flour passed over the Lakes, and 250,000 passengers. At the present time, the com merce of the Lakes may be fairly estimated at 100,000,000 dollars per annum. This is an evidence of what will he hereafter. As an illustration of the character and extent of this commerce, we have carefully compiled a concise statement of the ex ports of Buffalo eastwards, vid the Erie Canal, for the week ending Thursday, August 27th, of five leading articles. The amounts are of flour and wheat, reduced to barrels of flour 33,065, corn 24,287, wool 188,0001b5., lumber 2,000,000 square feet. The amount of tolls paid to the State on these and other exports of produce east ward was 14,885 dolls. It must be borne in mind that the third week in August is about the dullest period of the whole season of navigation, the past year's stocks being then nearly exhausted, and the new supplies hav ing yet hardly commenced to come forward." There are no late arrivals announced from the British colonies to-day. Consols for Money are at and for the Account at 96k. Exchequer-bills are flat at Bs, 1 ls. premium. South Sea Stock is at 1051. In the Foreign Market the principal variations have been a rise in the Spanish Five per Cents. to 27 I, in the Three per Cents. to 8, and in Mexican a re action to 25k.
