THE PENINSULAR and ORIENTAL COMPANY'S STEAM-SHIP RIPON. Another new iron steam-vessel, belonging to the fleet of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, arrived at the Motherbank, from the river Thames, on Sunday last. This ship is a sister vessel to the Pottinger, with engines of the same high character, on the oscillating principle, from the same eminent en gineers, and it must be admitted that it redounds highly to the credit of Messrs. Miller and Ravenhill that in this, the first trial of the machinery, the working of it was found to be so perfectly correct that without hesitation the Ripon was taken right off at once from the river. We believe that it was only intended that the trial should be one of the ordinary nature—a trip to Graves end and back; but the vessel having attained to full speed before she reached that place, making seventeen strokes per minute without the least stiffness or friction of any kind, with the concurrence of the Government engineers on board, they made the trial a part of the passage, and so proceeded. This is an instance worthy of record, in so far as it relates to the present position of the mechanical arts of the country. The engines of the Pottinger and the Ripon are of the same size, 76-inch cylinders, with a seven feet stroke. They are, as we understand, entirely from new patterns, and, besides being the largest oscillating engines in use, they have some important novelties in their construction; yet, not withstanding these disadvantages, which might reason ably induce some doubt as to the success of a first trial, a few turns only of the engines having been made the night previously to the trip, she performed to the highest satisfaction the passage from London to Southampton. The measured mile in Long Reach was passed in 5 min. 39 sec., or at the rate of 12.30 miles an hour; but a greater speed than this was obtained subsequently, the vessel being remarkably steady, and free from the unpleasant vibration we too commonly find in fast vessels. THE LATE SUSPICIOUS DROWN- ING OF A FEMALE. Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Sportsman, Margaret-street, Shoreditch, upon the body of Sarah Whithorn, aged 19, the circumstances of whose death have already appeared in The Sun. The inquest-room was crowded, and the greatest interest manifested throughout the inquiry. Ann Neal, deceased's mother, deposed that her daughter was married to Whithorn three weeks ago, against her father's consent. They resided with his mo ther at 23, Goring-street. Frequent quarrels ensued be tween deceased and accused's mother, whose harsh con duct compelled deceased to seek refuge with witness last Friday night, at Dove-row, Goldsmith's-place. At eight o'clock on Saturday night deceased went to Goring street, to obtain some money of Whithorn, who pro mised to call upon her at ten. He came at eleven, and witness, who was in bed, heard them quarrelling seriously. Whithorn swore violently, when deceased called him " a good for nothing vagabond," and said she would not be a burthen upon her family while he could support her. Whithora replied that he had earned only 12s. during the week, and was unable to keep himself. Witness went down and appeased them. Deceased upbraided him with representing himself as a single man, and alleging that she was only a servant to his mother. Whithorn then said she had better make herself comfortable with witness, and he would leave and sleep at a coffee-shop, as on the Friday night, when a girl had robbed him. Deceased became still more incensed, and avowed her intention to follow him for assistance, and, after more high words, Whithorn left the house, pursued by de a_ —a-- ..AtT v . s saw alive no more- By Coroner and jury — ever neara deceased com plain of unkindness on the part of Whithorn. His mother had applied opprobrious epithets to her. Deceased was only nineteen. Her marriage certificate represented her of full axe. John Whiteman, lock-keeper, deposed to finding the deceased's body by a drag at the first throw. Her bonnet was found upon a post some feet from the water, and her shawl and handkerchief were picked up on the canal bank, seven or eight yards from the bonnet. After other evidence, the Coroner thought it useless to pursue the inquiry in the absence of direct evidence. There seemed no possibility of dealing with the case other than by a verdict of temporary derangement, or the more painful one of felo dc se. The Court was cleared, and the inquiry adjourned.

TAPPING AN AQUEDUCT.—A novel case of fraud has been lately discovered near Boston, in America. An aqueduct company, which supplies the city of Salem with soft water, were at a loss to account for a failure of the supply for some time past, and went to great expense of examination of logs and pipes to discover the sup posed leak. A labourer in a tannery revealed the secret —that his master, a proprietor of a very large establish went, had secretly tapped one of the logs, and had been for a considerable time drawing from it with a pipe whose capacity was ten gallons a minute. Ile had thus not only supplied his own tan-yard, but had let out a right to one of his neighbours, who was ignorant whence the water came, lie was arrested and held to large bail. THE MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS (From the Times.) At last the long expected communication from Mr. Murphy, which was to set at rest all the uneasiness created by Senor Gomez Ferias' dispatch in the minds of the bondholders, has made its appearance. The second enclosed document, which is the most important one, is of formidable length, and wo cannot abstain from a wish that brevity had been rather more consulted ; but, so great is the anxiety of the creditors on this suhject, and so curious is the position in which the Mexican debt has been placed since the arrival of Senor Gomez Farias, that we cannot do otherwise than give it entire. At pre sent we publish it without comment, since it is of itself quite sufficient for our readeri' digestion, but we have no doubt, that when it has been considered over a little, it will be found a fruitful source of controversy : "TO G. li. ROBINSON, ESQ., CHAIRMAN OF THE COM- MITTEE OF SPANISH AMERICAN BONDHOLDERS. " Sir,—ln compliance with the intention expressed in the letter I had the honour to address to you on the 16th inst., I now beg to enclose two documents, Nos. 1 and 2. " The first is a copy, at full length, of the commurnea- Lion addressed to me from Mexico, and of which an ex tract only was published in the Times of the 16th, ac companied by a letter signed B. Gomez Farias.' I think it right that the committee and the bondholders should have before them the whole of that doeument, so that they may be able to appreciate the reasons for the resolutions adopted as therein set forth in reference to the late conversion. " Document No. 2 is a copy of my answer to that communication. This answer, I trust, as I said before, will place matters in their true light, be found satisfac tory to the bondholders, and justify my conduct through out this .business. " Allow me to add that;- alihough the resolutions on the conversion have been taken on receipt of my letters of the Ist of July, yet the whole particulars of that con version were forwarded by me to the Government on the Ist of June, and, had there been any objection on the part of the Government en ,, existing, I ought to have received communrd * . - .. -to lila 'effect by the packet before last. To judge from letters which I have received from a member of the Government under which the matter originated, it would have been fully approved of. " I have the honour, to be, Sir, your obedient, servant, " T. MURPHY. " London, October 19, 1846." (Translated from the Spanish.) " MINISTRY OF HACIENDA. " Most Excellent Sir,—l have made a communica tion to the Most Excellent Senor General-in-Chief of the Republican Army, charged with the supreme go vernment of the nation, of your Excellency's note of the Ist of July last, and, after having carefully con sidered it conjointly with the dispatch relative thereto, he has given me Instructions to inform your Excel - lency in reply that he cannot nor ought he to consent to the conversion of the foreign debt of the republic lately contracted in that city, creating for that pur pose a new consolidation fund of 10,241,6501. sterling. The Government, authorised by the law of the 26th of April of last year to liquidate and settle the foreign debt, was exclusively occupied with the settlement of that known under the names of Deferred' and Debentures,' as appears by the dispatch relating to the matter. It was proposed immediately to withdraw the same, giving to it a new form, by which the nation, apportioning to itself the greatest reduction possible, might easily fulfil its obligations, and re-establish by these means its credit. After various operations effected for this purpose, and of which your Excellency is well aware, it was settled that the abatement which should be solicited should be that of 60 per cent., and that, in order to obtain it, there should be tendered to the holders of the bonds of the before-mentioned debt, Deferred and Debentures, the special guarantee of the best revenues of the republic, such as 20 per cent. of the import duties at Vera Cruz and Tampico, those on the exportation of specie from the Custom-houses on the Pacific, and the monopoly of tobacco. Thus it is that, grounded on these bases, he issued the decree of the sth of March last, in which he created a new consolidated fund of 4,650,000 Z sterling for the conversion of the before-mentioned debt, and of which, in due course, an authenticated copy was for warded to your Excellency, in order that it might serve for your Government in the operations which this busi ness would demand, subsequently fully authorising you, in order to remove the obstacles which might present themselves in the attainment of his said ideas upon the bases aforesaid. " Your Excellency has, notwithstanding, taken no no tice of the principal point of the before-mentioned de cree, in consenting to an arrangement that prejudices very considerably the interests of the republic, and places it in such a position as to render it incapable of making good its promises, provided it should allow it to pass without annulling it. " Because, by the decree referred to, of the sth of March, the Government ordered the creation of a new consolidated fund of 4,650,000/. sterling, which should produce an interest of five per cent. per annumy and your Excellency, without any authority, has made it extend to 10,241,650/., stipulating for the payment of the reve nue due up_on this sum ever) , six months, and the remit amortisation of the capital. ar rom consuTtmg e credit of the nation, your Excellency places it in a posi tion inevitably to ruin it, for if it has found a difficulty in fulfilling the arrangement entered into with regard to the Active Debt, which is the half of the new fund cre ated by your Excellency, how can the obligations lately entered into for the whole be complied with, without leaving the republic without resources to meet its most absolute necessities ? " Furthermore, the before indicated special securities having been offered as an indemnification to the bond holders who might accede to the abatement of 60 per cent., by what authority has your Excellency reduced it to 10 per cent, with res p ec t t o th e A c ti ve Debt, of which arrangement no mention is made in the aforesaid de cree, but merely of the dividends due upon it up to this time ; and to 40 per cent. as regards that of the Deferred and Debentures ? Is this regulating yourself by your aforesaid instructions, in which it is set forth that bonds of the Deferred Debt and Debentures would be received at the rate of 2501. for 1001. of the new consolidated fund ? " Your Excellency makes a calculation in your com munication of the Ist of June, showing that, with the abatement of the 10 per cent. effected upon the Active Debt, and of the 40 per cent. upon the Deferred Debt and Debentures, is obtained that of 50 per cent. that was desired upon the latter. But, if this be so, it appears that upon the Active we have not obtained any abate ment ; whereas we have injured ourselves by granting to the holders thereof the special securities which have been tendered solely to those of the others for the afore said abatement of 60 per cent., settled as the permanent basis for the conversion of the debt into the new con solidated fund, and not of 50 per cent., as your Excel lency indicates. " Therefore, if the transaction was not agreed to in accordance with the terms of the decree before-men tioned of the sth of March, your Excellency ought to have communicated it to the Government, to have pro posed to it the fresh project that had occurred to you, to have awaited its determination, and not to have pro ceeded to realise it instanter, prejudicing in a most ex traordinary manner the interests of the nation—a condi tion that was imposed upon you in the ample powers that toweregranted b youut not to to subvertcarryout them.t heintentions of the decree aforesaid, " Therefore and forasmuch as the holders of bonds of our foreign debt were aware, froth the aforesaid decree, published in due course at London, how far your Excel lency's powers extended upon this subject, and ought consequently to impute to themselves the losses which may be incurred by them from such a transaction, from not having acted with the precaution which is generally made use of in matters of this description, the Most Excellent Senor General-in-Chief, charged for the time being with the government of the nation, hereby de clares— " 1. That he annuls the aforesaid conversion of our debt, effected in the consolidated fund of 10,241,650 L sterling, making your Excellency responsible for the in juries and losses that may arise to the republic from that operation. "2. That it is immediately to be thus made known to the public through the press of that city, in order that the bondholders of the converted stock referred to may obtain the old bonds that they may have delivered in for conversion as aforesaid, and return those which they may have received in lieu of them of the consolidated • fund. " 3. That it is likewise to be made known to the bond holders of our foreign debt, through the medium of the press, that the Government of the Republic intends to open through other agents a fresh negotiation, by which the nation, making another equitable arrangement, may fulfil punctually that which it may contract. " 4. That your Excellency, being relieved by the Go vernment of the Republic from all trust and commission you may have received from it, do deliver to the Secretary of the Legation in that city the archives belonging thereto, and whatsoever papers there may be in your possession relative to the special commissions that it may have intrusted to your Excellency. " I communicate the same to your Excellency by , supreme command for your information, and for the pur poses consequent thereon. G o d and liberty. VALENTIN GOMEZ F ARIAS. " Mexico, 28th of August, 1846. " The Most Excellent Senor Don Thomas Murphy, " Minister Plenipotentiary to her Britannic Majesty." (Translation.) " MEXICAN LEGATION CIRCA DE SA MAJESTE BRITAN NIQUE. " London, Oct. 17, 1846. 4, Excellent Sir,—BY the last packet I received a dis patch from the Financo Department (of which dispatch Senor Don Benito Go mez Farias, who cam e by th e same packet, delivered to m e a copy), in which I am instructed to publish in the ne wspapers of this capital certain mea sures, having for their object to annul the last conver sion of the Mexican debt. For the reasons which I proceed to explain, it had appeared to me absolutely ne cessary to suspend the execution of these instructions. Nothing has been done here but what is in strict accor dance with the spirit, meaning, object, intent, and pur pose of the decree of the sth i of March last, and the in structions which accompanied t, combined with the contract entered into by the :Mexican Government with Messrs Manniug and Mackintosh in Mexico. This I have proved in my dispatches of the Ist of June and the Ist of July to that departmont, of which I herewith transmit copies; but, for the sake of affording still more ample evidence of the truth of what I have stated, I will now furnish a palpable demonstration. " Before the decree of the sth of March was issued, the Mexican foreign debt, created through the house of Lizardi, and recognised in the decre of the 15th of De cember, 1843, was composed of the following items:- Ist, ... £5,391,650 of Active Bonds. 2d, ... 4,624,000 of Deferred Bonds. 3d, ... 499,096 of Debentures. 4th, ... 419,3731 of overdue Dividends. " The decree of the sth of March set forth—' That a new consolidated stock be ereated for 4,650,000 L, and that out of it there be taken a sufficient amount to re deem the Deferred Bonds and Debentures at 40 per cent., and the overdue dividends at par;' and the contract with Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh was to this effect, viz., That the surplus of the new stock of 4,650,0001. which remained after having effected the redemption set forth in the decree of the sth of March shall be delivered to the agents of the said house, who have bought it.' " Thus, then, by this operation, the 2d, 3d, and 4th items of the four which constituted the Mexican foreign debt, created through Lizardi, as above-mentioned, dis appear, and in lieu thereof, a new stock of 4,650,0001. is substituted, which, added to the first item, that is to say, to the 5,591,6501. of Active Bonds, produces for total of the Mexican debt the sum of 10,241,6501. " Such in reference to the amount of the debt would have been the practical result of the decree of the sth of March, if the creditors had accepted it is its primi tive form. "But, this not having been the case, I then took the following view:— " That a new consolidated stock be created for 10,241,650/., and, with it, withdraw from public circu lation not only the Deferred Bonds, Debentures, and over• due Dividends of Lizardi, but also the Active Bonds; and thus, as regards the total amount of the debt, the same point which the Government proposed to itself in the decree of the sth of March will be arrived at. As to what relates to the prices at which these distinct obli gations are to be redeemed, this is a proper subject of agreement between the bondholders and the agents of the house of Manning and Mackintosh, because those gentlemen having purchased the surplus which should remain of the 4,650,000/. of new stock, treated of in the aforesaid decree, after effecting the redemption therein prescribed, the only thing which interests and is im portant to the Government is that in the result of the operation the Mexican foreign debt does not exceed the sum of 10,241,6501., which is that recognised by the de cree of the sth of March.' " This I accordingly proposed, and I proposed it in virtue of the full powers w hi c h were conferred upon me in the instructions which I received from the Finance Department, dated the 7th of March, to remove what ever obstacle might oppose itself to the execution of the decree of the sth of March, on the basis of converting the Deferred Bonds and Debentures at 40 per cent. " But where lay the importance of this basis for the Government? Was it in the per centage? No ; be cause this question interested alone Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh. Was it in the redemption of the De ferred Bonds and Debentures solely, leaving the Active Bonds of Lizardi in circulation? Yes, if the intention of the authors of the decree of the sth of March was, first, to make a profitable operation with the Deferred Bonds and Debentures, and then, at a later period, to attack the Active Bonds. But such views could not be attributed to the highly honourable men with whom the business originated and was brought to a conclusion, for, on the contrary, the whole tenour of their communica tions and instructions to me prove that their principal object was to attend to the credit of the republic abroad by settling the foreign debt on a permanent and final footing. It is evident, therefore, that it was immaterial whether in such a settlement the Active Bonds of Lizardi should remain in circulation or not; the real importance of the case consisted in this, that, whatever the arrange ment might be, the foreign debt should not exceed a total sum of 10,241,6501., that being the precise amount it was the object of the decree of the sth of March to create; and, as I have not done anything else, there can be no doubt that it was fully within my powers to pro pose what I did, and, my proposals having been ac cepted by the creditors, the said decree was fully and punctually complied with in reference to the amount of the debt ; because it is not to be denied that the spirit and principle of this decree were not to redeem this or that paper of Lizardi at such or such per cent., but to consolidate a debt which should not pass 10,241,6501. " I pass on to the question of interest. It has been already explained that if the decree had been accepted by the creditors in its primitive form, the Mexican debt would have been composed of the following items:— " 1. Active Bonds of Lizardi " 2. New Consolidated Stock " X 10,241,6t,0 " For the payment of the interest and redemption of the capital of the first item, the decree of the sth of March assigned 20 per cent. of the Custom-house duties of Vera Crus and Tampico, and the export duties on glygritcan the ports of the Pacific; and for the payment item, the same decree assigned the monthly sum of 117,708 dollars from the tobacco revenue. Now, I ask, is not this precisely the same thing as to assign for the payment of interest and redemption of the total capital of 10,241,6501. the identical 20 per cent. from the Vera Cruz and Tampico Custom-houses, the export duties on silver by the Pacific ports, and the 117,708 dollars monthly from the tobacco revenue? " This is what I have actually done as regards in terest, and consequently it remains perfectly demon strated that in this part also the decree of the sth of March has been rigourously carried into effect, with this important advantage, however, for the Government, that whereas by the said decree of the sth of March the in terest on 5,591,650/. of Active Bonds was to take date from the month of April this year, and that on the 4,650,0001. of the new stock from June, by what I have done, the interest on the whole 10,241,6501. will not commence until the month of July, which produces a difference in favour of Mexico of a sum of 445,810 dol lars, as I have very clearly shown in my dispatch of the Ist of July. " It now remains to speak of the redemption fund : " For the redemption of the new consolidated stock of 4,650,0001. the decree of the sth of March assigned the annual sum of 250,000 dollars from the tobacco revenue, and for that of the capital of 5,591,6501. of Active Bonds ; his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in his confidential dispatch No. 8, of the 7th of March, calculated that the 20 per cent. from Vera Cruz and Tampico, and the export duties on silver by the Pacific, would leave an annual sum of 162,087 i dollars. " The committee of bondholders, before proposing to them the arrangement contained in the decree of the sth of March, that is to say, previous to the meeting of the 18th of May, required that this last amount should be raised to 250,000 dollars (securing the difference on the tobacco revenue), so as to make it equal to that which had been assigned to the redemption of the new consoli dated stock in the aforesaid decree. In consequence of this requirement I immediately consulted my powers, and saw by them I was authorised to remove whatever difficulty might oppose itself to the carrying into execu tion the said decree. The disparity which existed be tween what was arranged for the redemption fund of the 4,650,000/. of the new stock, and that which was calcu lated upon for the redemption of the 5,591,6501. of Active Bonds, was a difficulty offered by the committee of bondholders ' • consequently it was within my power and clearly my duty to make the concession required of me, and I did so. This is the pure logical deduction which, in this matter, justifies my conduct in a legal point of view, there not being in the power so vested in me by the official communication of the 7th of March, before mentioned, the restriction alluded to in the com munication now:under:reply. But if the matter be viewed under moral considerations—if it be considered that the I , requirement of the committee involved no more than a sum of 87,912 k dollars, an amount quite insig nificant as compared with the advantage resulting from the operation to the nation, and which, as shown in my dispatch of the Ist of July amounts to upwards of 11,000,000 dollars—it it be borne in mind that these 87,9121 dollars were dedicated towards the redemption of a debt which was incurring annual interest of great amount—if it be remembered that the amount saved in interest compensates for fully five years the annual dis bursement of this sum—and, finally, if the justice in trinsically involved in what was asked from Mexico be regarded—namely, to place all the bondholders on an equal footing ;—if all this be held in mind, it will be seen that had I opposed Myself to the concession de manded of me, if indeed would have been to fail in my duty, and to misunderstand my instructions. In truth, if those instructions did not authorise a thing so compa ratively trivial, it would be very difficult to say what was their object. And mark! this money, as just stated, is for redemption—that is to say, for the only object which in reality interests Mexico in a loan. To the bond holders it is amply sufficient that the interest be strictly and punctually paid ; therefore, if circumstances had prevented the remission of that sum for redemption, pro vided adequate remittances were made for dividends, the obligations of Government would have been sufficiently fulfilled to have prevented any heavy disappointment to them. There is no doubt whatever that. I could in a virtue of my powers consent to the requirement of the com mittee. Well, then, if the redemption fund of the new stock was by the decree of the sth of March 250,000 dollars, and that of the Active Bonds (with the acklitior, of the 87,9121 dollars) other 250,000 dollars, is it, rot clear that the redemption fund of the total e.ebt of 10,241,6501. was twice 250,000 dollars, that is to say, 500,000 dollars? Yet this, awl no more, is wnat I have consented to in this nkatio, " By way, then s etsUmmary,— " The decree of the sth of March ereattAl a debt of 10,241,6504 This same debt, and no more, I have created. " The decree assigned for payment of interest and re demption of one part of the eupital of 10.241,6501. the 20 per cent. from the Custom-houses of Vera Cruz and Tampico, and the export duties on silver from the Pa cific; and to the payment of interest and redemption of the other part of the taid capital 117,708 dollars monthly from the tobacco revenue. I have assigned to the pay ment of interest and redemption of the total capital of 10,241,650/., the same 20 pev cent. of the Vgra Cruz And Tampico Custom-houses, the same export duties on silver from the Pacific, and the same 117,708 dollars monthly from the tobacco revenue, with the advantage to the Government in reference to the period at which the interest should commence, as already explained. " Finally, my instructions authorise me to consent to the augmentation of the redemption fund of the Active Bonds to 250,000 dollars per annum, secured on the to bacco revenue (the only point which is not strictly within the limits of the decree of the sth of March), but this augmentation, as it has been already seen, did not exceed the sum of 87,000 dollars per annum, and was compensated for to a certain extent by the advantage secured on the interest account. Before leaving this point, it is well worthy of remark that the dispatch of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to which I have before alluded, owing to an error in underrating the annual in terest of the Active Debt by 97,914 dollars, actually states the amount left free for the redemption fund of the Active Stock at 260,000 dollars; so that, in point of fact, I did not provide a larger redemption fund for the whole debt than was clearly contemplated by the Government. It is therefore clearly and absolutely proved that the arrangement adopted by the creditors, and carried into execution, is nothing else but the same decree of the sth of March in another form (securing the advantage already alluded to relative to interest, and also that very important one, of having in circulation but one class of paper); and that, as well for adopting such new form as fcr the augmentation of the redemption fund, I was fully and amply authorised. That I, then, have not ip any way transgressed the powers I held from the former Government, and that the conversion of the Mexican debt has been accomplished in strict accordance both in fact and principle with the decree of the sth of March, is a thing beyond controversy. Such being the case on one hand, and it being also unquestionable on the other, that no Government, legitimate or not, can destroy the acts of the preceding:Government involving contracts or agreements; that the conversion is really and iecon testably of transcendent advantage to the nation; that it is now consummated, the greater part of th e Lizardi paper having been already converted and cancelled; that to restore that paper again and recal the new bonds is now a physical impossibility, even although the right of doing so existed; that the creditors of the nation cannot be made the sport of our constantly recurring revolutions and changes; that, even had I exceeded my powers, this would have been a matter for which I should be per sonally answerable to my Government, but could not set aside the rights of the bondholders, especially as there is no correctness in what is alleged in the dispatch I am replying to—namely, that by the publication of the de cree of the sth of March they knew the extent of my powers, because those were comprised in a separate do cument, which has never been published ; that these things all tend to lower my country more and more in the estimation of the world ;—for all these grave and well-founded reasons I had deemed it necessary, as stated at the commencement of this dispatch, to abstain from publishing the measures which have been adopted with a view to annul the conversion, in order that by so doing an opportunity might be afforded to the Finance Department for a further and more attentive considera tion of the subject, which would no doubt lead to a re vocation of measures adopted in my opinion too precipi tately. But as another party, to whom by a most strange proceeding a copy has been furnished of the communi cations addressed to me as the Minister of Mexico, has, without any known official character, caused the same to be published, I, who have an unsullied character to maintain, especially in a country where I have resided so long, and where I have received se many marks of dis tinction,—l, who am unjustly accused of having trans gressed my powers, of having set aside the cardinal points of the decree of the sth of March, and of having consented to an arrangement which considerably preju dices the interests of the republic, whereas its effect is tt reduce the foreign debt by nearly five millions, the in terior debt by full five millions more, and to give to Mexico 1,600,000 dollars in money,—l shall, although with deep reluctance, publish this very communication which I now address to the Finance Department, because such a course is what justice andmy own rights demand. " I do not dwell on the contents in general of the com munications I am replying to, but I shall make a few short observations theron. Neither in my dispatch of the Ist of June, nor anywhere else, have I made those calculations about a reduction of 50 per cent. which are gratuitously attributed to me. The calculations to be made, as much on the decree of the sth of March as on the arrangements actually accepted by the bondholders and with reference to the amount of Lizardi's debt, are of a very different description. " Those calculations would, in either case, show a re duction of 27 and a fraction per cent. As I said before, my powers did net contain the restriction mentioned in that dispatch under reply. So far from the object of the former Government being to introduce restrictions, it was their view to enable me to settle the business at once, so as to avoid the necessity of my sending it back a third time to Mexico, as I had dune on two previous occasions, in consequence of my fear of doing what perhaps I might not be strictly authorised to do. " I shall make one more observation on this business. The removal of a Minister Plenipotentiary is not an at tribute of the Department of Finance. I cannot, there fore, see the object of mixing up this measure with the others concerning the conversion. take the liberty of giving aCtvice to ttlose v7llO 'slay b us the head of the Government of my country. Let this extravagant measure be revoked, and let the engage ments entered into with the creditors be fulfilled, inas much, at least, as may be within human possibility under existing circumstances. Thus, and by a similar conduct in all the other affairs of the republic, a proof will be given to the world that the object of the last revolution is really and sincerely to enter upon a new ordor of things which would be regular, just, decorous, and worthy of respect. " Let this be assiduously and uprightly sought for— there are elements in the country which will make the task easy, but it might be a bad beginning if the rulers suffer themselves to be deceived and influenced by false representations and perfidious counsels.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO CASHIOBURY PARK. The Queen and Prince Albert took their customary early walk in the pleasure grounds on Tueealay morning. Shortly before ten o'clock her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and attended by the Countess of Gainsborough, the Earl Howe, and the youthful Ladies Adelaide and Emily Curzon, left the mansion to inspect the extensive gardens, orangery, &c. The Queen and party subsequently went to the dairy at the home farm, with the arrangement of which her Ma jesty seemed highly pleased. His Royal Highness Prince Albert did not go out shooting, as was anticipated. Sir Horace Seymour, Mr. , G. E. Anson, and Colonel Seymour enjoyed a few hours shooting in the preserves before luncheon. At two o'clock luncheon was served, the circle being confined to the royal guests of the Queen Dowager and the members of the Court. The carriages were ordered at half-past two, and sh,rtly after that hour thiee pony equipages and four, with outriders, camel... e front of the porch to convey 4 the illustrious comp' ~ •r a drive to the Grove and the Priory. The Queen Dow'ar'• was accompanied. in the first carriage, by th , Queen and Prince Albert, and her Se rene Highness the Princess of Hesse. The Countess of Gainsborougb, Lady Clinton, the Earl of Morton, the Hon. Miss Mitchell, thellon. Miss Daw son, &c., were in the other carriages. His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Earl Howe, the Earl of Denbigh, Sir Andrew Bar nard, Sir Horace Seymour, and Colonel Buckley and Colonel Seymour, the Equerries in Waiting on the Queen and Prince Consort, followed on horseback. The august party proceeded direct to the Grove, to honour the Earl and Countess of Clarendon with a visit, and remained there nearly an hour. The Earl of Clarendon duly received his illustrious visitors, and conducted the party over the house. The Earl and Countess Spencer were at the Grove. On the departure of the royal party, the carriages were commanded to go to the Priory, at Stanmore, the seat of the Marquis of Abercoria, and after viewing all the attractions deemed worthy of notice at that beautiful retreat, her Majesty, with the Queen Dowager and party, returned to Cashiobury Park, where they arrived at half-past five o'clock. The royal dinner circle on Tursday evening was the same as the previous day, with the addition of the Earl and Countess Spencer, who received an invitation to join the party. Throughout the morning parties of the respectable inhabitants of Watford and vicinity congregated in the park, with the object of obtaining a glimpse of the Queen and Prince. It is due to those present to say that they conducted themselves decorously, so that royalty could not complain of any intrusion. THE CRUELTY TO AN INSANE PAUPER IN THE RISBRIDGE UNION. HAVERHILL, TUESDAY EVENING.—This day, at One o'clock, Sir John Walsham, Bart., the assistant poor. law commissioner for Suffolk and adjacent counties, met a very numerous meeting of , the guardians attached to the Risbridge union, at the Haverhill workhouse, for the purpose of instituting an official inquiry into the treat ment of the deceased John Webb, late a pauper in the union, whose ill-usage was the subject of much condem nation by the coroneep jury who recently investigated his death. Sir JOHN WALSHAM briefly explained the reason it had not been entered into earlier, in consequence of his being on the continent, through ill-health, when the charges`of ill-usage towards the deceased pauper were first made. Mr. Eastcott,' medical officer of the uaion, stated that as medical officer, he had had no occasion to complain of Slater's conduct to the poor. None of the poor com plained ever of being ill-treated by Slater—at least, he had never heard of such being the case. Such complaints were never made to him. The Rev. William Hicks, the chaplain of the union, stated that he had not had any reason to complain of Slater's conduct. Had there been any complaint against him he would have heard of it. Never heard Slater speak one word of improper language. He (witness) would not say by any means that Slater might not have used such language or acted in the way sworn by parties at the late inquest. Had encouraged Slater's kindness, by many presents at different times, for his humanity to the sick paupers confided to his charge. John Hall, Esq., one of the guardians, deposed that he had never heard any complaint, nor had any reason to find fault with the practices adopted in the union. Some of the paupers in the infirmary were next ques tioned as to the treatment they had received, but were so infirm and imbecile as not to be able to give any satis factory answer to the inquiries put to them. Abraham Bigmore, another pauper, who at his ow n entreaty was excused from being sworn, stated that h. had seen Slater slap Webb's face now and then. He had hoard Slater swear. (At this juncture of the proceedings, i❑ consequence of he lateness of the hour, the report was dispatched so as to meet the train.) DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL WALPOLE BROWNE.— We have to announce the decease of another veteran flag-officer, Rear-Admiral Edward Walpole Browne, ho died on the 15th instant, at his temporary residenoe near Spittal, Bellvick-on-Tweed, at an advanced age. He was a native of the county of Kent, and for many years resided at Walmer, one of the Cinque Ports. He entered the naval service at a very tender age. His commission of lieutenant bears date so far back as November 9, 1790; June 25th, 1799, he was made com mander; April 29th, 1802, captain; and rear-admiral, August 17th, 1840. CITY OF LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—The second quarterly meeting of the elocution class belonging to this establishment took place on Tuesday night in the lectiqe .room of the institution,Gould-square, Crutched members of the class, reciteu lleetivu. of our best dramatists, including Shakspere, Otway, Sheridan, and Centlivre. There was a due proportion of the " grave and gay" comprised in the entertainmentwhich was most creditable to those who provided it, and appeared to give the utmost satisfaction to a crowded audience of members and friends of the institution. Mr. Rowley occupied the chair ; and among those who took part in the recitations were Messrs. George, Walter, Carrol, Gleed, Fury, Wale, Thomas, and Cross. The class appears to combine the twofold merit of aiding in dividual improvement and the general attractions of the institution. THUNDER STORM IN SPANISH TOWN.—A very severe thunder storm was experienced in Spanish Town between three and four o'clock on Sunday last, which was succeeded by one of the heaviest falls of rain within the recollection of the oldest inhabitants. In this city (Kingston) the rain commenced early yesterday morn ing, and continued for the whole day with little or no intermission. The streets overflowed with water, and in consequence very little if any business was transacted.— Jamaica Morning Journal, Sept. 23. PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 70, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10i d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9} ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 91, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. ANNIVERSARY OF THE VICTORY OF TRAFALGAR.-- Yesterday being the 41st anniversary of the ever memo rable victory of Trafalgar, several of the surviving heroes duly celebrated it in various parts of the United King dom, by dining together. Though death has, since the day of the engagement, made heavy havoc amongst the officers that took part in the contest, some hundreds still remain, the most distinguished being Admiral of the White, Sir Edward Codrington, who on the occasion was captain of the Orion, Vice-Admiral the Hon. T. a Cassel (then captain of the Phoebe), Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Bullew (captain of the Britannia), Captain Clo ven, who was senior lieutenant of Collingwood's vessel, the Royal Sovereign. This officer, whose services were officially commended, was wounded severely. Captain J. Pasco, who was senior and signal-lieutenant of the Victory, was also wounded. Captain Thomas Dick inson, on the occasion midshipman on board the Royal Sovereign, was wounded, &c. FUNERAL or LADY ANNE HAMILTON.—The re mains of this lady, the descendant of a long line of illus trious ancestry, were on Tuesday morning removed from her late residence, No. SO, White Lion-street, Penton ville, to their final resting-place in Mensal-green Ceme tery. Although the deceased lady lived in her obscure retreat in the strictest privacy, she was not unknown in the neighbourhood, and many will have reason to lament the loss of a liberal benefactress. Her Ladyship's age was Eh MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of Lady Charlotte Elizabeth Herbert, second daughter of the Earl and Countess of Powis, and Mr. Hugh Mont gomery, of Grey Abbey, county Antrim, son of the late Mr. William and Lady Amelia Montgomery, was solem nised on Tuesday, at St. George's, Hanover-square.

The flames were e v eFnlinagE between s. hoursE first discovered by one of the workmen issuing from the windows, both back and front, of that portion of the fac tory termed the bracing and veneering shop. Owing to the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, the flames were attacked just as they were rolling up the staircase into the floor above. Both compartments contained a large number of instruments partially fit ished. Those in the bracing shop arc either consumed or rendered worthless by the action of the fire, and those in the floor above are considerably damaged by heat and smoke. The loss will fall upon (we understand) the Westmin ster and Globe Offices. It could not be learned how the outbreak happened ; when the workmen left, a few minutes previously, everything appeared quite safe.
