LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1846. Intelligence of very remarkable interest, extending over fifteen additional days, has just been received through the steam-ship Cambria, after an unprece dented passage of twelve days and sixteen hours from Boston. Remarkable circumstances have tran• spired in the United States, both of a political, com mercial, and military character. News of a startling nature has been received relative to the deliberations or t l e,,Ad n e i r',. , !n Legislature ; the fusibility of mer eant r:4orniati.l 4, ,hroughout other nations beside G 4 at '#rgiii,u'l%, -:'... ...,.., Flemish principality ; the im 4rolitiVcitlif: tispeedy termination to Mexican ti waklie;:lige 4 k- fur ornbatants be thwarted by some ur ie l i f ile4al.44oiy lion; and the intern 11 tranquillity nfitii;b4:l4ori:tkif4ries. If received separately, any one of - Wise. fragqints of information would have autuksid itt,iteclrepeculiur importance, bat; viewed collectively, they cannot fail to arouse an intense and universal interest. Unfortunately the preposition for commercial reforin introduced into the Chamber of Representatives has not afforded that extraordinary sentiment of satisfaction which was *entertained throughout England towards the recent measures of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administratic,n. On the contrary, it has been received with the most violent and determined opposition. Mr. WEBSTER, discharged against it every missile of invective, and remonstraeice, and ridicule, and argument, which his ingenuity could devise or his felicitous imagination could. accumulate. Senator CAMERON adjured his brother 'legislators to deliberate seriously before they arrived at any decision, as, sup posing the Tariff Bill received their acquiescence, " there would arise a cry fur its repeal from one end of the northern States to the other." Notwithstanding, however, all this furious and systematic antagonism, the obnoxious Bill was ultimately passed through the Chamber of Representatives at Philadelphia, by an infinitessimal majority of one in a House of fifty-five individuals. Something approaching to commercial panic has subsequently developed itself; stocks have given unmistakeable symptoms of decline ; the money market was visited by a temporary stagnation ; busi ness was generally sluggish ; and all these effects were attributed by its antagonists to the recent ac ceptation of the unwelcome tariff. What appears, on investigation, to be the principal blemish of this measure, is the precipitate manner in which it has evidently been concocted. Some of the alterations are literally crudities culled from the horn-book of political economy ; there is an evident want of deliberate digestion throughout. Wherever anything especially judicious is introduced in the catalogue of reformation, it appears rather to be an accidental excellence and a fortuitous beauty than the result of a wise and sagacious forethought— this, however, be it observed, merely as regards the individual items, not with reference to the original skeleton of the plan. In that skeleton we recognise the skeleton of ultimate free trade ; there is a strik ing analogy between its character and the principles which have gradually insinuated themselves into the commercial code of the mother country. Taxation reserved upon the luxuries of existence, taxation diminished upon the neces saries of existence : that is the system now adopted by the Government of the United States, and believ ing that the introduction of such a system will be most conducive to the universal realisation of freedom to trade, we are satisfied with the abstract character of the Bill in question. As examples of the pro portionate extension and diminution of imposts upon superfluities and upon articles of general consumption in the former arrangement of customs, and in the one which will come into operation on the first of De cember, 1846, we may enumerate the following : The duties hitherto levied upon champagne, and which may be represented as 12, will henceforth be increased to 30; Madeira, formerly 5, now 30; pearls and precious stones, formerly 7, now 30 ; chocolate, formerly 12, now 20 ; and in like manner the re mainder of the luxuries. Among the necessaries we may instance the following :—Wrought iron spikes, formerly 168, now 30 ; glass of various descriptions, formerly 137, now 30; brown sugar, formerly 62, now 30 ; silk handkerchiefs, formerly 50, now 25 ; cottons and calicoes, formerly 50, now 25 ; and in similar proportions throughout. Without question the latter diminution is laudably conceived, and is compatible with the pervading spirit of this enlight ened generation. As such we are inclined to welcome the broad outlines of the present scheme, as tending to equalise the position of the aristocrat and the ar tisan, and likely to promote commercial intercourse between different nations, and to ensure the ulterior civilisation of the inhabitants of this globe, no matter what may be the anomalies of colour, of religion, of locality, or of disposition. Nevertheless, it is from the very circumstance of our satisfaction with the ge neral bearing of this new tariff that we are amazed, with Mr. WEBSTER, at such an anomaly as that of charging twenty per cent. on flaxseed and ten per cent. on linseed, though those articles are actually identical. That solitary circumstance would be suffi cient of itself to justify our condemnation of the de tails of a Bill in itself so particularly laudable, and to evidence that the blemish which we have already ex posed was grounded upon incontestable data— namely, that the items in the catalogue and the apportioning of new duties are nothing less than crudities precipitately amassed together. Accounts from the Oregon territory are of a most pleasing description, as far as the preservation of amity between the British and American settlers is concerned. It is, however, lamentable to reflect that the dangers of the gigantic prairies still present a terrible barrier to the propagation of civilisation. According to the most recent sources of intel ligence, it would appear that seventy-five out of two hundred and fifty persons, composing the St. Joseph's Company, have perished upon those flowery plains, through the pangs of drought and contagion. Of the position of the belligerents in the Mexican war our readers will find a copious narrative in other columns of The Sun, explaining the hopelessness of any speedy termination to the bloodshed awl commotion which have so long desolated that unfortunate country. From the communication written by the Secretary of War, and officially laid before Congress, it would absolutely appear that aggrandisement, and not retaliation, is the object of the United States. The ambiguous phrases contained in that document seem to imply an expectation of extending the American re public in a southerly direction. General TAYLOR, on the contrary, in the proclamation which he has re- cently issued to the population of Mexico, declares that war has been drawn upon themselves in consequence of wilful indignities offered to the " star-spangled banner." Whether serious conse- quences may not result to the theatre in which BOLIVAR acquired his immortality, by the rejection of the offers of assistance made by SANTA ANNA, time alone can testify. The friends of Mexico have cause to tremble for the integrity of her do miLions. PAREDES and BRAVO will have to screw the courage of their supporters to the stick- ing-place if they would repulse their assailants, if they would preserve San Juan de Ulloa from cap ture, and if they would recal the Yucatecas to their jurisdiction. When Mexico is threatened in one direction by no less than seven hundred and eighty guns, and in another by two hundred and ninety eight, the Mexicans may well doubt the perpetuity of their constitution. The Gauge of Railways Bill on Wednesday received its third reading in the House of Commons. The Hon. Member for Birmingham moved th© insertion of an additional clause for the purpose of having the entire line from Oxford to Birmingham laid down on the broad gauge, so as to avoid the anomaly of two dif ferent gauges on the same line of railway. By this means the people of Birmingham would have the benefit of a broad as well as a narrow gauge communication with the metropolis, and there is little doubt that the consequent competition and rivalry would afford an additional protection to the public, and ensure that moderation of charge and attention to their interests which is so frequently wanting when the entire traffic is in the hands of a monopolist corporation. The clause was, however, rejected, and the Bill passed in its original state, and in ac cordance with the recommendation of the Board of Trade. If the measure was to be a final one, and the great evil of a break of gauge was to be perpe tuated throughout the country, we should respect this decision, and we think the people of Birmingham would have just cause of complaint thereat; but there is every reason to hope that the present Bill is •nerely intended to be of a temporary nature, to prevent my new difficulties being interposed in the way of an equitable adjustment of the differences between the rival companies, and the establishing of an uni formity of gauge throughout the kingdom. It has been stated by Earl GREY that, for all practical pur poses, his colleagues are unanimous on the point, and fully alive to the great national advantage that would be attained by putting an end to the present system, and establishing an uniform intermediate gauge throughout the length and breadth of the land ; there can be little doubt that the leisure afforded by the recess win be appliedo4 the discovering of the means by which this great abject can be obtained; and it would indeed be la mentable if any crude or hasty legislation should deprive the public of the Adquitage• no invostigatiou that has already taken place on the subject has elicited the opinions of practical men, fully compe tent to arrive at a just conclusion ; and it is now established that the difficulties which were thought to be insurmountable can be easily encountered and overcome at an expenditure, which, however great, is trifling if put in competition with the corresponding advantages. Great as are the inconveniences now expe rienced, they are as nothing to what must be the case in a few short years, when the public wants will be fully provided for, and when the points of contact be tween the different gauges will be greatly increased and multiplied. A wise Administration will not be contented with applying a temporary remedy, they will be well aware that a state of progressive im provement is to be looked for, and they must provide for the future wants as well as those of the present time, and expect the accelerations con sequent upon the inventive genius of the country being directed thereto. The immediate reduction of the broad gauge to the same scale as the narrow would place a great impediment in the way of these improvements ; it would enforce a continuance in that which is now pretty generally admitted to be a defective system, originally selected in the infancy of the science, without the full investigation which a subject of such importance required, and should have received. The question hitherto has been rather a question between the two existing gauges, as to which shall be perpetuated, than what it ought to have been—an inquiry into what gauge would be most beneficial to the nation at large, without any reference to the lines already in existence. Such an inquiry took place with respect to Ireland, where railways were only starting into existence, and the Commission unanimously recom mended an intermediate gauge which would afford all the advantages to be found in either of the present, without any of their disadvantages. The most eminent engineers who were not already committed by expressed opinions concurred in the result. The evidence of Mr. CUBITT before the Guage Commissioners is gradually forcing conviction on, and receiving the assent of, every unprejudiced person. He deliberately states, that a gauge of six fee', which appears to be the best for all practical purposes, can be attained at a very moderate expenditure, and that there would be no necessity for an alteration ir. the existing tunnels, viaducts, or bridges. We doubt not that his evidence will receive the attention and consideration it merits, and that at the commencement of the en suing session the Government will be prepared with propositions for the final settlement of the question on a just and equitable basis. Some of our Contemporaries are discussing the result of the St. Alban's election, the return of Mr• BENJAMIN BOND CABBELL, and the rejection of Lord LISTOWEL, as if political triumph were to be claimed for the protectionists, or public principle declared and enunciated thereby. They are grievously in error—no triumph was gained, save that of bribery, —no principle proclaimed, save that the electors of St. Alban's, will not return any man to Parliament who does not buy his seat, and pay for their votes. Lord LISTOWEL would not spend money iu corrup tion, and he prohibited his friends from doing so—he lost his election. Mr. B. B. CABBELL found the means for bribery ; his friends and agents used the gold placed at their disposal most freely—he gained his return. But the game is not yet played out. Mr. CABBELL'S return, and a petition against that return, both appear on the proceedings of the House of Com mons ; the glory and the shame, the reward and the punishment travel together. The corruption of St. Alban's is as notorious as the sun at noon- day. We believe it has never been doubted ; but on the present occasion it has been proved beyond dispute, and evi dence not to be controverted will establish the fact before the.proper tribunal. We repeat that bribery and bribery alone has triumphed at St. Alban's, and that the only question asked by a majority of the electors, was, " What price will you give for our votes?" For whom the best price was given Mr. C.A.BBELL'S return supplies the answer. The proceedings of the Repeal Association in Dublin on Monday ran to a great length. Before a most numerous auditory, Mr. O'CONNELL re ceived fresh proofs, from various influential parties in Ireland, of their undiminished confidence in his governance of the great body of which he is the ac knowledged head. The sacerdotal order, in particular, denounced in hitter terms the recent unscrupulous defection of the " physical force" members of Conciliation Hall, and eulogised, in the warmest manner, the peaceful policy which animates the counsel of O'CONNELL. One of the clerical epistles contains the following caustic sentence, which is unmistakeably applicable to Mr. S.O'BRIEsi —" We fear for the safety of the Repeal Association, which is imperilled by the rash speeches and reck less impetuosity of some sullen and sulky spirits, who have neither the wisdom to lead, nor virtue to obey." Mr. O'CosmELL expressed a desire that the Member for Limerick would rejoin his ranks, but as this can only now be done by a full renunciation of his former egregious errors, we doubt whether so sullen and sulky an individual would admit his peccability in order to be reinstated in his former position. Neither, indeed, is it a consummation devoutly to be wished. The report of the committee appointed to consider the case of the Nation newspaper was read. It has been decided by them, without a dissentient voice, that that journal shall in future be cashiered from Conciliation Hall, and all its tributary streams. Looking to the inflammatory appeals which the Nation has constantly made to the worst passions of the people, the Association is much to be commended for guarding itself in every way against being mixed up with the propagation of dele terious political doctrines. The step thus taken augurs well for the sincerity with which the moral force principle is upheld by the repealers at large. Another prominent feature of the day was the en rolment of the Hon. CECIL LAWLESS as a member of the Association. He has avowed himself a convert by reason of the public letter addressed to him, not many days back, by Mr. O'CONNELL. But the most important part of the proceedings consisted in the detailed exposition of O'CormuLes require ments from the English Parliament on behalf of Ire land. We must say he has drawn out a pretty long list of palliatives for the wrongs of his country They may be thus briefly capitulated :—There must be no endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy— the mortmain clause in the Bequests Act must be got rid of—the charter of the national schools, the " In fidel Colleges" Act, and the Marriage Act must be severally revised—chapels in the different work houses to be established—an equitable appropriation of the revenues of the Established Church— the number of representatives to be in creased—the elective franchise to be extended— the municipal corporations to be assimilated to those of England and Scotland, with the appointment of sheriffs to be vested in them; and, lastly, a good landlord and tenant Bill. Such is the bill of fare tendered to the Government; it seems to contain every political d a i nty. It is something for the Ministry to have such a choice. Several sessions must be exhausted before they can taste and digest the whole of these select viands. In the meanwhile they will have the advantage of dining yearly a la carte. For our own part, we hope the Executive will deal with the bill of fare in the inverse order in which it is written out. Let us first address ourselves to the task of effecting political equality between the emerald isle and Great Britain, and when we shall have succeeded in this respect, we can turn our minds with greater advantage to redress whatever of religious inequality there may be be tween the two countries. The public mind just now seems fairly attuned to the necessity of reforming the civil institutions of Ireland, and it would not be wise to mar this good feeling by stirring up anew the reli gious animosities which so disgracefully checked the reforming career of the Governments of Lords GREY and MELBOURNE. We collected from the speech which Lord JOHN RussELL made, when called upon by Mr. DuNcosinz to ex• plain the principles on which he intended to carry on the Government, that his Lordship consi dered it most advisable in the present state of parties, and especially for the welfare of Ireland, that all poli tical questions relating to that country should be kept as widely separate as possible from those of a strictly religious character. Whatever, then, may be the disfavour with which many of the Irish may view their religious position, when compared with our own, we think that now that Mr. O'CONNELL intends to give his support to the Admi nistration, no more hurtful course could be pursued towards Ireland than that of prematurely forcing the vexatos qucestiones of ecclesiastical polity. We feel convinced that repeal never will be carried, but if it ever is to be, it must be exclusively upon its own merits. If these can be fairly made out, the advo cates for repeal cannot be indifferent to the advan tages of enlarged political power and improved civil institutions, and in this light, if in none other, the future benefit to themselves of strengthening the hands of the Government, whose declared intentions towards Ireland are so consolatory, must, or ought to be quite apparent. We shall learn with re 'ret that the Irish Liberal Members take a different view of this matter from ourselves. Accounts have been received from Constantinople of the 27th, and from Athens of the 30th ult. MEHE MET ALI was at the SULTAN'S country house at Therapis. He intends making the tour of Europe before returning to Egypt. Sir STRATFORD CAN NING, Who left Constantinople on the 26th, had before his departure presented a note to the Porte, remon strating against the re-appointment of RizA. PACHA, against whom charges of peculation had been recently clearly substantiated. The treaty of commerce between Greece and Ha nover has been ratified, and on the occasion the King of HANovEtt conferred the grand cordon of the Guelphic order on MM. COLETTI and CANARD, the Greek Ministers. The differences between the States of Holstein and the King of DENMARK, on the subject of the suc cession to the throne, still continues. The Members of the States have resolved to engage in no business until they have adopted the necessary measures to protest against the KING'S letters patent, and as, owing to the obstacles thrown in their way by the Danish Government, it was impcsible for them to do this, the Members have withdrawn altogether, thus bringing the session to an unexpected termination. The Nurernburgh Correspondent says : "All the Agnats of the Duehy have sent a protest to Co penhagen. It is tlwught that the divorce of the Prince Royal of Denmark will take place. The Prince proposes to con tract a third marriage in the hope of having an heir. The Danes are wrong in talking of an unique monarchy, as no such monarchy exists. Schleswig is a sovereign Duchy, whilst Holstein and Lauenbourg are German Duchies. These three Duchies have nothing in common with Denmark, ex cept the circumstance that they are under the King of Den mark, who bears the title of Duke. The Royal Commission attaches great importance to what was done under Frederic IV. The statute of succession of Frederic 111. to Schleswig- Ilulh tein was confined to the male line only, while the same sovereign established for the succession to the throne of Den mark both the male and the female line. The right of suc cession of the line of Ploen is contested, and it is sought to prove that the line of amderburg has renounced." Intelligence from Rome of the Ist instant has been received. Notwithstanding he was suffering from an attack of the gout, Cardinal Giza was still engaged in planning measures for the reform of the administrative abuses, from the existence of which Rome has so long suffered. He intends shortly to publish a full Ministerial fxposi, of the present state of affairs ; and the Pore has announced his deter mination to make known annually the exact state of the finances. Several Italian exiles in France have taken advan tage of the amnesty, and have set out on their re turn to their country. They received thirty francs each from the French Government for their travel ling expenses to the frontier; and on their arrival there, a further sum was given them out of funds provided by the Papal Government. Madrid papers of the 6th inst. have been received. The troops on the Portuguese frontier continued to desert in great numbers. In the provinces several incendiary fires have taken place, by which a consi derable amount of property has been destroyed. The directors of the Bank of Isabella 11. have declared a dividend of two-and-a-half per cent. on the nominal capital (equal to five per cent. on the capital paid up) for the half-year ending in June last. MAIM), BOLE A, MAY 6.—The Three per Cents. were done at 33% for cash, the Five per Cents. at 23, the Four per Cents. at 21 3 A, the Passive at 6%, and the Coupons not to be capitalised at 20. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. _ _ 1 _ Duke PASQUIER was engaged on Monday in the examination of JOSEPH HENRY, at the Conciergerie. HENRY was taken on Tuesday morning, under a strong military escort, to the garden of the Tuileries, where he pointed out the exaet spot where he stood, and the direction in which he fired. The Debats states that the pistols used by HENRY were not the common pocket pistols called coups de poing, which only 'carry from six to fifteen paces at most. They have been tried by two experienced persons, M. MOUTIER LEPAGE, the gunsmith, and a captain of Artillery from Vincennes. It has resulted, from several experiments made at different distances, that at 100 metres (331 feet) a ball struck the wall, but without precision. At 60 metres (nearly 200 feet) a ball passed through a plank from two to three centi metres (about an inch) thick. At the same distance a leaden slug passed through the plank, and could not be found. At 35 and at 40 metres (120 to 130 feet) the balls passed through the plank, and were beaten flat against a wall at some paces distant from it. The experiments were repeated ten or twelve times, and with the same results. M. LAPLAGNE BARRIS has been appointed by the Chancellor to draw up the report, which will be presented to the Chamber of Peers in their sitting on Monday next. The Moniteur has just published a report on the commerce of Algeria in 1844. The total amount of the commercial operations of the colony was 91,000,000 f., of which 83,000,000 f. were imports, and 8,000,000 f. exports. This amount far exceeds any former return. Out of the 83,000.000 f. of merchandise imported, 80,000,0001. were consumed in Algeria, of which 47,000,000 f. were of French, and 33,000,000 f. of foreign produc tion. The amount of goods imported liable to duty was 5,500,000 f. The tariffs applied to the French possessions in Africa are far from being ex orbitant, and are not levied too much with a view to protection, since it will be seen that the value of merchandise exempt from duty exceeds by 62 per cent. those subject to duty, and that there is imported into Algeria 40 per cent. of foreign merchandise. The export of native produce of Algeria only amounts to about 3,272,000 f., the remainder of the 8,000,000 f. being made up of foreign merchandise re-exported. The exports to Algeria show a continued progress. Out of 11,000,000 f. worth of cotton goods, for in stance, France sends for 8,500,000 f. Accounts from Algiers of the sth state that M. SALVANDY had embarked at Djemma-Ghazaouat for France. Negotiations are pending with ADD-EL KADER for an exchange of prisoners. On this sub ject we find the following in the Memorial des Pyrinees " We announced, thbaadt receivedtbe fam family of Lieutenant-Colonel C aeln rou that officer a letter, mentionin g that a propositi on for an ex change of prisoners had been a ddressed by Abd•el-K a d er to bey dadsd Cogainnoered General Cavaignac. We have now the satisfaction to add, that Marshal Bugeaud has confided this delicate negotiation to the French Consul-General at Tangiers, with instructions giving him the greatest possible latitude. The Governor- General of Algeria has made known these facts to the fa mily of Colonel de Cognord, adding a hope that he should soon have to announce to them the restoration to liberty of that gallant officer and of his heroic companions in mis fortune. We also learn that the Queen has deigned to state in reply to a letter written to her Majesty on the subject by Madame de Cognord, that she personally felt the most lively sympathy in the fate of those gallant captives, and that the King, to whom she had communicated the letter, shared in the same sentiments, and had recom mended int n e most pressing manner to the Minister of War that every ex ertion should be made to restore them to liberty as soon as possible." - ---- England to obtain i n f orma tion as The Press e s t a t es t h a t th e French Government has to the working of dispatched on e o f th e di rec t o rs of the Post - office to the system of tht , penny postage.

(From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool s - ..-t ,- .rday was without alteration. Sales, 4,000 to 5,000 bales early all American. Shares were rather dull. There was one incident noticed at 1. annual meeting of the General Shipowner's Society, he.d at the Hall of Com merce, which eeserves a notice, and aso reprobation. We allude to a most unseemly influx of a number of persons into the hall, while Lord George Bentinck was addressing the meeting, who in the most ungentlemanly manner created a noise by frivolities, and by hissing. We are not among those who would wish to see public feeling thus demon strated in opposition to public men's speeches, where all is (air and above board. In ibis case, too, the intruders were not shipowners. It was a meeting called expressly by the shipowners of Great Britain, and the in truders had no right there. Among some of the most noisy of the latter, were not a few "stags," and other well known gentlemen of the same kidney, who locate from eleven to three principally in the vicinity of Capel-court, the Auction Mart, &c. Besides, had tho.,e persons been present early, they would have heard the chairman distinctly affirm that the appearance of his Lordship at that meeting was wholly irre spective of his political position elsewhere, but as Member for a sea-port he was anxious to learn how best he could aid measures that might increase the prosperity of the best. bulwarks of our country. When his Lordship finished his address, the ill bred lot rushed out in just as unseemly a manner as they entered. The chairman did not think him selfjustified in calling such intruders to order. There has been a favourable impression excited by the news received this morning of the American tariff having passed. Among the items of Canadian intelligence, none are more important than those which relate to the crops, and upon this subject, under date of July 27th, from Quebec, we are advised as follows "The potato crops have been suffei ing by drought, and in some places the stalks were fading. Generally they still look well. Sonic early sown ones are as large as an egg, and fit or the table. There is no certainty of the blight having as yet appeared in this part of the country. Neither has the fly been observed in the early sown spring wheat, which is now changing colour. The small samples of fall wheat sown arc nearly fit for the sickle, and have met with no accident. "The reports from the district of Montreal give reason to believe that the fly is doing considerable injury to the spring wheat. The sort called Black Sea wheat is not exempt. It is stated that the blight has made its appear ance in the potato fields in some part of the district of Montreal. The barley, which has been sown to a great extent since the failure of the wheat crops for fourteen pr,..rs past, is said to be good and ripe; the oats abundant; but the bay crop •' The markets continue high excepting for flour, the supply from the westward having been great, and the uncertainty or ti.e markets in England with the late change in the corn laws having given little hope of a high price. Much will depend oil the result of the harvests in America and Europe for the present year, on which there must be, for some time to come, a state of uncertainty." Accounts of May 23, from the Cape of Good Hope, state that our troops had had some dashing affairs with the Kafirs on the frontier, and that the colonists themselves achibited the utmost intrepidity and energy. In fact, great as the loss of property must be, the tide is now turning against the Katirs, and they will, no doubt, soon be wholly subdued. Unfortunately they can but make poor amends in kind for the injury done to the farmers. The Consol Market has receded a fraction this morning, and the market altogether looks gloomy. The American news is of a satisfactory character, taken altogether. For account the only price is 95%, but for immediate transfer the quotation has fallen from 95% to 95%. The Three per Cents. Reduced were heavy, at 96 ; and the New Three and-a-Quarter p , :r Cents. at 9734. fhe premium upon EX chequer-bills has rallied to a slight extent, having been quoted at 12.. For India Bonds the current value is 20s. premium, and for East India Stock, 259. Brazilian Stock has improved this morning from 88 to 90, Mexican to 24 for Account, and Portuguese Four per Cents. for Account, from 42 to 43 1 ,4. Russian Bonds have been sold at 112% 2 . Spanish Consols are the same as to value as they were yesterday, 25 3 /. The Three per Cents, are rather flat at 36 1 4, the Dutch Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 98, the Two and• a-Half per Cents. at 59 3 4, and the Four per Cents. at 9415. Theinarket for the Railway Shares has no peculiar feature about it this morning. Prices are not firm. Great Westerns and Brightuns have improved. ONE O'CLOCK. BIUTISII FUNDS. CLOSING PRICES.
