The last order pub lished J from head-quarters by the Commander-in- Chief of the American armies (Order No. 376) is of a character such as must have carried dismay to the imaginations of the patriotic, but pusillanimous, Mexicans. It proclaims the determination of the conquerors to retain whatever they have already or shall have subjugated. There is no gleam, of hope to the subdued provinces and the captured cities. The maw of the American eagle is far from being glutted, the banner of Washington is destined to flout the church turrets stretching from the isthmus of Darien to Port Vancouver, from Todos Santos to the Bay of Fundy. The stripes are appro priated exclusively to the citizens of Mexico, and the stars to those of the United States. Nor is this all. The General-in-Chief dissects the living limbs of his victim with an exquisitely torturing minuteness, and w ith an infinitely excruciating delicacy. He con siders the violated country piecemeal. Each of the ihtsowindthepeenbdoednicees, of rt its s s ai n s ' t vanquished states is not only to remain con scious population pockets of to the re l m os e s mb o e f r its oppressors—its have bled crewhialereintnstrbulegegalingag liabilities incurred by the the liquidation of the l henceforth to he collected too —pro fusely. The taxes hitherto levied in each state for Federal Government, are to the support of America, and to be devoted entirely with scrupulous exactitude by le this lot, and doomed to the military authorities cf the oppressors. Vera Cruz and Puebla, and Tamaulipas, and New Mexico, and Chihuahua, and N ew L eon , and Coahuila, and the Californias. Th ere i s no escape. The sword of M•xico has been broken; its soil has been saturated with the overflowings of a human vintage ; its sacred edi fices have been desecrated, and the golden utensils of its priesthood seized as spoil by an irreligious soldiery --as rigorously, as pitilessly, and as invariably as ever did the followers of the Regent-Duke of ABRANTES in Portugal. Mexico is under the spell of its puis san t and unscrupulous neighbOur. It can only vin dicate its ancie n t freedom and the pri.tic.e lici-na or its inhabitants by one o f those tremendous convul sions of despair which have sometimes restored a TWE SUN, LONOON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10, 1848. people to glory and greatness from the abyss of slavery and impotence. In all geographical respects the conquered federa tion has an opportunity for its redemption. The very- magnitude of its dominions is in some way its safeguard. Its alternate verdure and sterility, the astonishing inequalities of its surface, the altitude of its mountains, and the abrupt declivity of its gorges, the very inaptitude of its, peasantry to subject themselves to anything like warlike discipline—driving them into a system of rough but effective strategies and forcing them to the adoption of the warfare practised by guerillas —may yet under judicious guidance enable the. Mexicans to rise from the slough of their present calamities. The elements of that guidance are not wanting so long as PAREDES and SANTA ANNA, and their subordinate officers, are on the soil of their native land. SANTA ANNA is the sworn foe of the United States, and so likewise is PAREDES. In that, therefore, as well as in their common familiarity with the land of their birth, and its capabilities for offer ing resistance to an enemy—even though that enemy be comfortably established in its metropolis and in its principal ports—Mexico possesses no feeble guarantee for its ultimate extrication from its present difficulties. What we chiefly fear, however, :s lest the jealousies which led immediately to the overthrow of the French forces in the Peninsula — those jealousies which conduced to the estrangement and separation of SOULT, MAssENA, and MaßaioNT— may be revived or rather emulated by the political warriors of Mexico, and that the fate of that magni ficent territory may be sealed by the jarring interests of SANTA ANNA and PAREDES. Separately their armaments may be broken like sticks—united they might defy the power of the invaders, like the bundle mentioned in elsor. The destinies of their common country oscillate in the balance while they are con tinuing to deliberate. From Valladolid to Gua dalaxara, from Zacatecas to Durango, the arms of the Congress of Washington may spread onwards, and SANTA ANNA and PAREDES may alone awaken to a reconciliation of their sentiments and a co-operation of their influences—when any exertion of theirs will be incapable of restoring even the shadow of a hope to their partizans. The first sen tence of the order of General SCOTT should thrill through the hearts of these veterans, " This army," so it runs, " this army is about to spread itself over, and to occupy the republic of Mexico, until the latter shall sue for peace on terms acceptable to the Govern ment of the United States." On terms acceptable to the Government of the United States ! What those terms are the whole world knows—they are rapine the most dastardly, and spoliation the most enormous. Shall they be accomplished ? SANTA ANNA can answer. Is Mexico to be abandoned to the lustful appetite of her assailants ? PAREDES can give the reply. The reply may he written in bloody characters upon the hill tops of California, it may gleam out in the red dened waters of the Zacatula, it may be recorded in ghastly colours in the streets of Dolores. Every ear in Europe is ready to drink in that response—" Listen. awhile ye nations and he dumb." A more important question could not be brought More Parliament than that which was yesterday introduced by Mr. POULETT SCROPE, respecting the administration of the new Irish Poor•law. The discussion arose upon an inquiry by the Honourable Member, " whether any and what legal proceedings have been taken against such boards of guardians or relieving officers as have neglected the duties imposed on them by the Act 10 and 11 Victoria, cap. 31, of affording due relief to the destitute poor ?" Nothing could be more pertinent to the subject than the narration of the melancholy accounts of destitution and suffering from . all parts of the country—of numbers who are in vain seeking admission into workhouses already crowded to an extent far beyond what they were originally calculated to contain, or of the default that has been made in the collection of the rates struck for the relief of the poor, by persons of the greatest wealth and highest position in the several districts, It was naturally to be supposed that the system, which had so recently been introduced, could not have been brought into perfect working order throughout the entire country. But if it is not suffi cient to preserve the people from actual starvation— if persons whose claims have been rejected, after having dragged themselves many weary miles in pursuit of that relief which was then withheld from them, were to be found perishing by the wayside through the neglect or inability of the boards of guardians or their officers—if the very inmates Of workhouses are found to be almost sinking from want of food, it surely is time that the Government should interpose to enforce, by every practicable means, the due administration of the law, and to inflict deserved punishment on those who have so shamefully aban doned the duties they took upon themselves to discharge. We believe that the Government are desirous of carrying out the law energetically and effectively, of introducing such amendments as may be required, where the actual working of the system has varied from the anticipations that had been formed thereof. If the unions are too large, why are they not forth -1 with reduced to the proper dimensions? The Com missioners have the full power to do so, and there can be no appeal from their decision. If the boards of guardians do not yield a ready obedience to the in structions of the central board, why are they not forthwith dismissed, and paid guardians ap pointed in their place ? It appears that such steps have been taken in some few instances, and with the happiest results. In the Ballina Union the pi. I guardians have collected upwards of 10,0001. since their appointment, while in four months previously, out of a rate of 13,869/., but 8681. had been collected. Surely the course that proved so effectual in one case might be advantageously followed in a great many others. If the quarter-acre clause is productive of the most injurious consequences, inducing landlords to abstain from affording profitable employment to the poorer classes of their tenantry, because they may be able to clear their estates more effectually by the pressure of distress than by the operation of the ejectment statutes, why is not a short Bill passed for the purpose of repealing, or even suspending, that portion of the Act ? It was not a part of the measure originally introduced by her AlasesTv's Ministers, but was conceded for the purpose of re conciling the landlords thereto. How many indivi duals have sustained the sharpest pangs of hunger rather than surrender the humble holdings the pos session of which formed their only hope for future support, if they were not to remain permanent inmates of the workhouse, and charges upon the industry of their neighbourhood. The poorer classes are closely scrutinised, and there is little hope for one occupying half an acre or an acre of obtaining relief unless he has first complied with the requirements of the law. But a breach of the ' condition is connived at in those in the enjoyment of larger tenements—of men who should never seek for relief at the public expense, but of whom the land lord is not so anxious to get rid. A scene is re ported in an Irish Contemporary, the Mayo Telegraph, to have taken place at the late quarter sessions in Mayo, which affords a strong illustration of the practice in this respect. A miserable-looking half-starved wretch was in dicted for sheep stealing. The unfortunate man, his wife, and six children, were found de vouring the almost raw carcase of the sheep within a few hours after it was missed, the unhappy family not being able to wait until it had been cooked. The p r i soner had previously made several applica tions for relief, but in vain ; his claim was rejected, and he was left to perish for want, or to commit crime fur the preservation of his life ; while his prosecutor —a comfortable looking farmer, who described him self as in the p ossession of 70 or 80 acres of land, GO sheep, four caws, two horses, some stacks of barley, oats, a cock of hay, and potatoes, butter—was obliged to acknowleg nation, that he was in the actual e , on exami nation, milk and . . d with cross receipt of outdoor relief, which had been refused to his starving neigh bour. The Gregory clause could be overlooked in his favour, although it was so stringently enforced against those who might be compelled from sheer want to accept of temporary relief, even at the cost of their little all. Such facts need no comment. There must be something essentially defective in the syztmn where they are even possible. The Patria of Florence states, from Turin, that th© Sardinian Government continues its preparations for defence. The muskets and artillery of the army are undergoing inspection and repair; horses are being purchased for the cavalry, and stores of every kind are being made. The Ministers meet frequently in Council to discuss the means of placing the army and the fortresses on a footing to meet any event that may arise. The Prussian Gazelle notices, as a grave fact, that the Austrian Government had ordered 700 sabres from the Prussian arms factory of Solingen, to be ready by the Ist of March. The activity of Austria gives great uneasiness to Sardinia. The .Risorgintento of the sth inst. announces that the Municipal Council of Turin was to meet at noon to deliberate on a most important measure. Private letters state that the Municipal authorities of that city, in accord with the Ministry, were to sign a pe tition on that day to King CHARLES ALBERT, for the establishment of a National Guard. A similar appli cation was to be made by the Municipal Council of Genoa. Six hundred horses, purchased in Switzer land for the Sardinian cavalry, had arrived at Turin. It had been reported that the ex-Minister of Police of Naples, DEL CARRETTO, had arrived in Paris, but according to letters from Genoa, he has, after having succeeded in landing in the uniform of the Com mandant of the port, proceeded towards the Austrian capital. Letters from Rome of the 28th ult. mention the arrival on that day of the new Secretary of State, Cardinal BUFFONDI. The trial of the Prince CANINO was fixed for the 4th inst., and the proceed ings, at his request, were to be public. Madrid journals of the 3d instant have arrived.. New regulations of the Royal Council and of the Secretary's Department of the Alinister of the Inte rior, which were shortly expected to be published, will, it is said, considerably reduce the number of emplovs in both. The Eco dcl Comercio publishes more addresses to ESPARTERO from Alicant, Burgos, and the province of Murcia. It hating been reported that General ESPARTERO intended to go to the Theatre del Circo, a number of officers of the garrison and police agents were distributed in different parts of the house, and a small number of soldiers were kept under arms. The Clamor Publico says that all this was done to create a disturbance before ESPAR TERO, so as to have an excuse for charging him and the Progresistas with disturbing order. But ESPARTERO being aware of what was designed did not think fit to go to the theatre. An agent of some French and Dutch capitalists had arrived at Madrid to endeavour to make arrangements for terminating the works of the canal from Valladolid to Segovia.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Tuesday's debate on the paragraph of the Address relating to the Reform banquets, was one of the most important that has taken place since the debates which preceded the Revolution of July, 1820. M. DUCUATEL, the Minister of the Interior, broadly laid down the principle, that there does not exist in France any right to hold any meeting, public or pri vate, and that the authorities have a full right to dis perse any and every such meeting. "These doctrines," says the National, " excited the indignation of the Opposition—protestations, murmurs, cries of surprise and anger, interrupted their expression. The Minister caused the tempest to burst by exclaim ing the Government will not yield.' To this pro vocation voices trembling with excitement replied. The whole Opposition was in agitation--above, below, from all sides, this word was repelled. These are the very words of CHARLES X.,' exclaimed M. CREMIEUX, and he added with emotion, there is blo3d in these words.' The noise was immense, the agitation extreme. Order', order,' cried the centres, pointing out M. CREMIELI Laissez 7noi tranTalle he retorted with disdain.—(Oh, oh.) The Minister attempted to resume, M. LESSEPS inter- rupted him, saying, You are using provocation?— ' The Government does not provoke anybody." The Government never did anything else,' shouted he, with the voice of a Stentor.—(Order, order.) Such was the cortege (continues the National) that ren dered honour to the speech of M. DUCLIATEL. But there must be some other sort of protest than this first movement of legitimate indignation, the arro gant pretensions of this police officer merit another reply. The Opposition owes it to the rights of citi zens, to all who have taken p art in manifestations which have been regular, legal, and accomplished without troubles or disorder ; to all who believe in liberty, and who feel the arbitrary doctrine revolt ing. The Opposition owes this to its own word, to its honour, to its dignity. This reply it yesterday engaged to make, and it will do so." M. ODILLON .BARROT followed the Minister, and declared that he spoke under a sense of humiliation on finding that, at the end of seventeen years after the Revolution of July, he felt himself obliged to plead for the simplest of all the rights of citizens, such as had been exercised unquestioned during the days of the Restoration. The deductions that he drew from the apprehensions of Government lest the people should have an opportunity of expressing their opinions, and the warnings that he uttered, were delivered in a chastened tone, which showed, that while he foresaw very grave consequences as the result of such monstrous tergiversation, he as a friend of the dynasty and of constitutional government, deplored them from his heart. The course the debate has taken has excited the greatest apprehensions in Paris, and there was a con siderable fall in the funds in consequence. There was a rumour that it was the intention of the Oppo sition Deputies to resign en masse in the event of any unconstitutional proceedings being adopted by the Government. The following extracts from the Conservative Presse and the Radical Siecle will show the feeling of alarm which the conduct of the Ministry is excit ing in the minds of every party. The Presse says— " M. Duchatel was not less imprudent when rely ing not on a text of the law, but on a simple ordi nance of police, and on inisterial circulars, he declared that the Government of 1830 was firmly resolved to prevent the banquets, which the Restora tion did not believe it had the right to pre vent, as M. Barrot called to mind I There are resistances which it is dangerous to ennoble, and daring to provoke, when one is not sup ported by a formal right. Imagine then a political banquet, a defiance to arbitrary power by one hun dred Deputies, by twenty Peers of France, by several mayors of Paris, by members of the Council General of the Seine, by officers of the thirteen legions of the National Guard of Paris! Imprudent that you are, what would you send to disperse them ? Before what tribunal would you cite them ? What judges could you find to condemn them? Confess that if you believed in the struggle you would not engage it —you would modify your paragraph, or would support the amendment of M. Darblay, and you would be right, quite right. We know that the royal ordinance which nominates Marshal Bugeaud to the Ministry of War is quite ready, if not signed, and that yGu place all your confidence in that nomi nation; but know well that under a constitutional Government force without right is nothing. Had it the advantage one day it would lose it the next." And the Siecle : " Let it be said without equivocation this sitting is one of those that engage questions in an irrevocable manner, and that announce the approach of unfortu nate times. While we heard the noise of revolutions in the distance, and were offering our wishes for people unworthily treated by their perjured Govern ments, we fancied that we ourselves were in security under the shade of those institutions bought at so dear a price. We were deceived. Thanks to cynical and fraudulent interpretation of all laws, there is not a single right conquered in 1789, and confirmed in 1830, which may not at this moment be filched away or neutralised ; those impudent renegades who formed committees of clubs under the Restoration, who excited us against Charles X. and his Govern ment, who raised their voices above all others in the famous address of March, 1830, which was as it were a summons to all Prance, come now to renew the same provocations, and in the same manner, through the mouth of the King, and they dare to signify to us that meetings of every kind, even in private houses, even for the exercise of elector? not ti,:: place unless at their good will and pleasure. The Go vernment will not yield, said M. Duchatel. Let us remiad hina that the same expression was uttered seventeen years ago by a more respectable voice than his, and it was hardly expiated," &c. The discussion was resumed on Wednesday by M. BOISSEL, Mayor of the 12th Municipal District of Paris, who had accepted the presidency of a banquet, which was prevented by the Government. He pro tested against that measure, and declared that its sub scriber.; were all municipal officers, respectable merchants, and National Guards, who could in spire the authorities with no apprehension. M. HEBERT, the Minister of Justice, who followed, said that those banquets had been evidently gotten up for the purpose of preparing tome revolutionary movement. The Government, in accord with the Committee on the Address, had acoordingly thought proper to condemn them, and to justify that resolu tion he might, he said, content himself with citing the speeches delivered at those meetings, and the hopes proclaimed by some of the orators. Reform was a mere pretext. Their real object was admitted on Tuesday by M. ODILLON BAnRoT, who con tended that the Chamber was incompetent to decide on the questions at issue between the majority and minority, and that it was necessary to erect another tribune, from which the factions might be at liberty to denounce the arts of the Legislature, and attack monarchy itself. The discussion had not concluded at the hour the post left. The ICING was visited on Tuesday by JEROME BONAPARTE, the ex-King of Westphalia, and his 9011. The chateau of Pau is preparing for the reception of the Queen of Spain, who is to visit her sister, the Duchess of MONTPENSIER, there in the course of the summer. The Prince of SYRACUSE still remains in Paris. He is, it is said, detained there by the French Go vernment,.in order to afford time for French intrigues in Naples to secure the influence of the Duke of SALERNO, the father of the Duchess D'ATINIALE. It is intended, should the King of NAPLES be forced to abdi cate, to proclaim the Duke of SALERNO Lieutenant- General of the Kingdom. The Governor of the Bank of France, Count D'ARGOUT, communicated, on the 27th ult., to the General Assembly of the Shareholders the annual account of the operations of that establishment in IS-17. Their total sum was 1,854,000,00 E, having exceeded by 128,000,000 f. that of 1846. The trans actions in Paris alone amounted to 1,372,000,0001., offering an augmentation of 78,000,0001. The bills discounted were 963,324 in number, or 36,934 more than during the preceding year. The united operations of the branch banks presented a total of 481,000,0001., and an augmentation of about 49,000,0001. compared with 1846. The metallic re serve of the Bank, which had fallen between the Ist of July, 1846, and the close of that year, from 252,000,000 to 80,000,000, had recovered, in 1847, to 181,000,000, and was 189,000,000 on the 27th January, 1848.

NEWMARKET STEEPLECHASES.—In consequence of the heavy rain on Tuesday night, a portion of the line selected to be run over yesterday was flooded, and a postponement was unavoidable; the stewards,: therefore, decided that the races shall come off to-morrow (Friday). The country chosen is in the neighbourhood of Moulton, between three and four miles from Newmarket, and is well adopted for steeplechasing. Mr. Forth, son., ono of the first trainers of his day died on Friday last, at an ad vauced age. We are gratified to hear that Major-General W. Napier, the historian of the Peninsular War, is to suc ceed to the Colonelcy of the 27th Regiment, vice Sir John Maclean, deceased. TERRIFIC COAL-PIT EarLosioN. — BIRmINGAIAM, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—An explosion of fire-damp is said to have occurred in a pit at West Bromwich this morn ing, by which the lives of several men were sacrificed. At tho present time it is impossible to ascertain the Cause and extent of the fatal cceurrence, and We there• fore reserve accurate particulars until to morrow. BATTLE OF TR A EALGAR.—Ono of the humble heroes of Trafalgar still lives in the person of William Jackson. Ile was originally a Thames Waterman, and volunteered to fight for his king and country, and bore an humble part in that ever memorable engagement on board the Vanguard, where he was engaged at the Bth gun on the quarter deck, he is now 70 years of age, of a yet strong healthy constitution and lively disposition, and has occupied his present position as waterman in the Customs Department since 1813, and occasionr.lly enlivens his companions of the coat and badge with an ecdotes of his many hair breadth escapes on ship board. COURT OP CHANCERIC.—Mr. Aglionby on Monday obtained, in the House of Commons, an order on his notice of motion for a return of the salaries of the seve ral Masters in Chancery, and their title to " any and what retiring pensions." The return when made, it is understood, will be the fulcrum for a further notice of motion, respecting the disabilities of certain of the Mas ters disqualified by age and infirmities. Mr. Aglionby also obtained, the same evening, an important order for reference to the Commons' Committee on the Fees of Courts of Law and Equity of all petitions which have been presented praying for inquiry into the scandalous compensations of the late Six Clerks and their staff. It is understood that this Committee is now resolved to probe and expose the fraud of these iniquitous compen. sations, and to require all the documents on the false data of ? which the compensated gentlemen obtained the enormous allowances which now encumber the suitors' fund. It is impossible that the Masters' offices can much longer remain in their present state of inefficiency and non-reform; and the compensations awarded to the old Masters and the ex-Six Clerks must undergo inquiry and revision.--Chronicle. STATE OF TRADE AND EMPLOYMENT IN MAN CHESTER. —At this week's market there has teen a sudden check given to business by the demand for ad vanced prices, cons equent on the late rise i n th e pr i ce o f cotton. The higher prices asked, though only a shade in advance, have not been obtained, and stagnation in business is the result. This sudden change in the state of trade may lead to serious results, for if the raw ma terial still maintains the advanced price, the spinners will belunable to purchase adequately to the full employ ment of their mills, and thousands of hands will thus bo thrown either wholly or partially out of employment. The prospect just now in the manufacturing districts is any thing but encouraging. A reduction in the price of cotton is the only mode by which comparative comfort and prosperity can be maintained in Lancashire. Tke official return showing the state of employment during the past week in Manchester is as follow s: —N um b er of hands last week working fu l l time, 33,400; in th e present week, 32,146. The number last week employed short time was 4,459; in the present week, 4,901. The number of hands wholly out of work last week was 6,722; and in the present week, 7,542. From this statement it will be seen that there is a considerable increase in the number of hands " wholly out of work," whilst about 500 hands have been added to those on short time. Tho state of employment in the district surrounding Manchester is equally discouraging. Most of the mills are working short time, and the operatives are suf!ring severely from low wages and the severity and privations of the season. DEATH OF MR. BELCHER, THE OFFICIAL AS SIGNEE.—The above-named gentleman, who filled the situation of official assignee in Mr. Commissioner Fon blanque's Court of Bankruptcy. for some years, expired at Spring-grove, Tunbridge, being his country residence, yesterday morning, in the 54th year of his age, after an , illnoss of eight or nine months. The un'ortuazte gen tleman has left a wife ail(' family to cb plore h's loss. litoatas b, D'UNCOMDE.-1,, -ve of absence, on motion to such k wos the House of Commons, on Tuesday, to Mr. Thomas Duncombe for two months, on account of ill-health. MONEY and COMAIERCIAL I`,EWS. CITY, QUARTER TO TiIJ?EE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was id per lb. higher for American, Brazilian, and Egyptian. Sales, 6,000 bales, of which 500 were for exportation. There was a numerous attendance of spinners, and the market was barely supplied. American sold at 4id to Gld per lb. Railway Shares were improving. There was a good inquiry, especially for Dover, Brighton, Berwick, and Midland. Much satisfaction has been expressed at the intended early resumption, on the 10th proximo, of the business operations of the firm of Sanderson and Co. The new house will be under the style of Sanderson, Sandeman, and Co. The Paris papers mention the failure of Messrs. Russo and Co., of Amsterdam. As far as can be ascer tained, there is no such firm in that city. The progress of beet-root sugar manufacturing in Prussia since its commencement, about ten years since, appears to have been very decided, and such as to justify the expectation that ere long it will make further strides independent of protection. Since the year 1645 the quantity of beet-root annually made available in a the sugar manufactories of Germany has been increased by nearly 2,000,000 cwt., viz.,, from 3,889,860 cwt. in the autumn of 1845, to 5,633,848 cwt. in the correspond ing season of 1847; Prussia taking about four- fifths for its SG sugar factories. There are 27 manufactories building, and the capital embarked is said to yield a very profitable return. In some parts of Germany the result has not been so satisfactory as in Prussia. The indigo auctions still progress with considerable animation, and further advanced prices have been esta blished. The accounts of the 17th ultimo from New York, are not of importance further than that they advise con tinued shipments of specie to England, the probability of a new loan, and some difference of opinion in Con gress respecting the prosecution and objects of the Mexican war. It has been suggested at Liver pool that in order to relieve any money pressure that may arise in the United States, Bank of England notes should be sent there, but among other objections is the possibility of shipwreck and the total loss of the notes, there being no " seconds" as with bills of ex change. The Funds aro tolerably steady to day, although the Hentes come lower from Paris. Consols have been marked 89A to 4 for present Transfer, and 891 for Account, being now the " turn" lower. The Plew Three.and.a-Quarter per Cents. have been 901 to and the 3 per cent. reduced 894 to 89k. Bank Stock is 200 to 202, and East India Stock 241 to 243. Exchequer Bills of June are 25 to 29 premium. The foreign securities are very dull. Peruvian have been as low as 34 and 35, because from the correspondence that has passed it is deemed certain that considerable delay will occur before there is an arrangement of the debt, and even then that any compromise upon the plan adopted in reference to New Grenada, instead of Chili, as wanted, would be most unsatisfactory. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 261 ; Spanish Three per Cents. arc 32; Brazil Stock is at 85; Dutch Four per Cents. are 851 to 86. Railway Shares have been very quiet. Brighton are rather flatter again. BP.ITISII FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 2001 1 2 202 200 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities . 89% 1 4 3 per Cent.
