NOVEMBER 1, 1842. To the over-taxed people of England the re cent arrival from the United State,s brings one item ofintelligence which is calculated to grieve and alarm them. Those who, being over-taxed, look upon our colonies as burdens, and grumble already at the expense incurred on their ac count, may perhaps be indignant, as well as ilarnied, at the intelligence. The statement will be found amongst our extracts from the Ameri can papers, and it seems only necessary to direct attention to the subject to make the public at once aware of its bearings. The readers of The Sun will remember, for we had occasion recently to advert to the matter, that the Colonial Customs Act imposed, for the fivst thne, last session, a duty of 525. the barrel on Ainerican flour imported into Canada. We learn, however, from the Kingston Chronicle, tl►at the English Government—that is, Sir R. Lord STANLEY, and Co.—offered to the Cauudian Government to repeal the Imperial duties on Canadian corn, if the Provincial Par lia.nent of Canada would impose a duty on wheat imported into Canada from the United Stales, by which, in fact, the Imperial duty win be snperseded by the Colonial duty. The Canadian Provincial Administration agreed to the offer, and proposes to levy a duty ou Ameri can wheat imported into Canada of 3s. per cpurter. Our Government executed its part the plan by allowing Canadian wheat to be imported at a duty of ls, when the price is 585., and ss. when the price is th - )ligh we have forgotten if it intim-rued the Im p,:: ial Legislature of what it had proposed to the Canadian Government. Upon the wheat imported from America con s:nned in Canada, this duty, as the Kingston e1. , ; - onicle observes, will be levied on the Cana ; but upon all the American wheat which is inqlorted into England through Canada, the Etu!:lish consumers will pay that 3s. duty. To what extent the importation may take place we pretend not to say. The Kingston Chronicle sup r,o7.es that the revenue to be obtained from it may be upwards of 200,000/., but whatever may be ,its amount, the whole sum paid on American corn imported through Canada into England, will be levied on the people of England for the advantage of the colony, by the Executive Go yerunient having made, we believe without the knowledge of the House of Commons, an under -liand bargain with the colony. The Executive C*)vernment has authorised the Provincial Par liament of Canada to tax the people of England. To the tax of 2s. a barrel on American fiGur imported into Canada, the House of Commons nr,,7ented, Ilk tile belief, no doubt, that its produce, like the produce of other taxes levied by the Im perial Legislature for the regulation of the gene ral trade of the empire, would be collected into the Imperial treasury. But it appears that Lord STANLEY has effectively bartered away the tax for the colonial tax we have mentioned. "This is the first time," says the Kingst on Ch ron i c l e, c. that the Imperial Government has given up to. a colony the duties it thinks proper to impose in 1::::land on colonial imports for the regulation of own trade." To impose such duties is held by some persons to be unconstitutional ; but for the Executive Government to give them up, and for a provincial adminiitration to levy a tax at its suggestion, which is to be paid by the people of E%gland, without the consent of Parliament, i s ai gross a violation of the principles of the Con stitution, as has for many years fallen under our notice. All this is done for behoof of the landed inte rest at home, which seems to be so important in the minds of statesmen that it warrants any and every departure both from the principles of justice and t h e constitutional practices. `` One obiect of these regulations," says an American ap " appears to be to compel American wheat, intended for the English market, to go through., Canada, be ground in Canadian mills, and shipped in English vessels:' " Unless," it adds, " our Government should adopt some counter vailing measure, this object - will be accom plished." The measure, therefore, as we have already said in regard to the new tax levied by the Colonial Customs' Act, is regarded as an attack on American commerce, which invites, if it cannot justify, those restrictions which the United States, following Sir ROBERT PEEL'S example, and acting on his principles, are heaping on our trade. General satisfaction will be experienced at the result yesterday of Lord FRANKFORT'S pro secution of AucE LOWE. He was defeafed, and she was acquitted. We have abstained through out f i rom making any remarks on this case, be cause we were led to suppose the Noble Lord to. be completely insane. To cherish that supposi tion still seems charitable to him, and the least discreditable case to the body of which he is a member. Were we obliged to treat him as a responsible agent, we must speak of his conduct in terms which we should be loath to apply to any individual. Disapproving of an irreverent alliteration made use of by an Essex landlord, a supporter of the Church, we may state without offence that PEEL, by the blessing of Providence, is effecting changes by the measures of last session, of which at the time he had no conception. The agricul tural autumn meetings bear testimony .to the fact. For the last twenty-seven years the cry among landlords and tenants was "protection to the landed interest." Now the cry is "no more sleep, no more slumber, no more folding of the hands to sleep." The burden. of the song at these agricultural festivals denotes a new era in England. Not a whisper transpires about the heavy burdens on land or tithes, or poor-rats, or even highways, which are more burdensome than ever ; but landowners, farmers, and even the very clodhoppers sing "up and be stirring, for the enemy is upon us." We do not attribute this revolution to PEEL, but to the mother of invention. The landed interest, by a concurrence of circumstances, has now no reed to lean upon. Deserted by both Whig and Tory, it is left, like the orphan, to trust 'to itself; but in the true English character it is determined not to he beaten by foreigners, nor needlessly repine over disappointed hopes, nor give up in despair a con test which every other class manfully resolves to meet. The very protection so long clung to a's their salvation, they now admit has made them only indolent, checked the spirit of improvement, and encouraged them in the belief that the wis dom of their ancestors was absolute wisdom. This certainly is a great step in advance within a few months, and must be regarded as one or the new remarkable features of this progressing age. No one, not even the Duke of BUCKING HAM, who was afraid to meet his Aylesbury friends last week, even dreams of the re peal of the present Corn-law, but -submits to his fate in solemn silence. The Duke of RICHMOND, who has heard at Gordon Castle language very different from that which he was accustomed to hear at Goodwood, has not cer tainly imitated the example of his brother of • BUCKING H AM, but has feasted his tenants, and made speeches, and talked much about agricul tural improvements, and tile-draining, and bone manure, and turning waste land into arable, but not a word about turning out PEEL. This is only what was to be expected from a nobleman who is allowed by all to be a pattern to his order, for his manly independence, his strict in tegrity, his domestic virtues, his habits of limi ness, and his fearlessness of danger. He sees that he was in error in supposing that PEEL must obey the men that made him, in despite of dire necessity; and, like a wise and just legislator, is resolved, without repining, to make the best of a hopeless case. We trust when he returns to a quarter ,where they are much needed— the south of England—he will bring with him some of the doctrines, and customs, and agricultural systems which prevail in his northern domains, and instil them into those jog-trot farmers who use four horses to do the work of two, who swear by their great grand fathers, and hate the very name of Reform, who rebel against iron ploug,lis and turnip drill, and tile-draining, and clean trim-looking thorn fences, sacrificing their own interest and that of their landlords to the love of ease, the bigotry of custom, and the dread of change. While every interest throughout the kingdoin is moving at a railroad speed, while our manufacturers are in defatigable in their inventions, and the very operatives themselves are making rapid advances in everything that relates to their trades, the great source of our wealth ; as the Church-and- State men say, is comparatively an uncultivated field. Let the landlords then bestir themselves, and seize the present opportunity for advancing with the spirit of the age. The first great • movement should commence by throwing off all political . ties between themselves and their tenants, and looking not to party but to their own interests. They have learned from experience that Toryism is as ineffectual as Wliiggism in keeping up monopolies; that the duty of Bs. by the sliding-scale has been as injurious as the . fixed duty of Bs. proposed by Lord JOHN RUS SELL ; and that it it ever should benefit their in terests, the advantages will be more than coun terbalanced by the tariff, which affects corn as well as cattle. It is vain to pray for protection, and they must at last take the poet's advice and pray only for those things which they can obtain by their dwn exertions. Tie first great step for meeting the changes produced by the meas• sures of last session, is to grant long leases. Men holding land from year to year at the will of .a capricious master, have no seeurity forthe money expended, and no encouragement to venture on improvements, of which they may never receive the benefit. 'There is abundance of wealth in the country; money never was so plentiful, and if only one-half had been laid out in breaking up waste land, and - adopting new systems of agri culture which has been thrown away in loans to foreign States, England could have produced, at a moderate price, ample means of subsistence for all its inhabitants. If' two quarters of wheat • can be raised at the cost of one—and the system adopted in the north verifies the fact—the land lords of England may set all the competition of foreigners at defiance. We have received, by the Columbia steamer, which reached Liverpool on Saturday night, New York Papers, 11 days later than those brought by the last packet. She left Boston on the 16th, and Halifax on the 18th, and made the imss age home in about twelve days. The Belgian steamer, the British Queen, sailed fro►n New York on the 7th. The news from Canada, which we have given at length, is important. Sir C. BAGOT has closed the session of the Provincial Parliament, and in a very brief speech thanked the gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly for the liberality with which they had voted the supplies requisite for the public service. The Speaker then declared it prorogued to the 18th of November. Mr. LAFONTAINE, the Attorney-General for Lower Canada had been returned for the fourth ing of York by a great majority ; but Mr. BALDWIN had been defeated by Mr. MURNEY, a Tory can didate. Great rioting took place at the elections The news from the United States is not of much interest. Trade continued extremely dull. It appears the Phoenix Bank of Charleston had failed, the whole capital of which had been loaned to two firms without adequate security, the papers being so arranged at the time of exa mination by the Bank Commissioners as to elude the most careful scrutiny. A. dividend of profits of three-per cent. bad been declared payable on the very day that the bank stopped payment. WILLIAM WYMAN, ex-president, and THOMAS BaowNE, jun., ex-cashier of the bank, and. W. H. SKINNER, of the firm of STANLEY, REED, and Co., had been arrested, and held to bail in the sum of sico,imo each, for .their appearance for examination before Mr. Justice BUTTRICK, at Charleston. The complaints charged that WYMAN and Baowxx had embezzled the sum of $300,000 from the Phoenix Bank, and also that Mr. SKINNER conspired with them to per petrate the fraud, which is made larceny by the . revised statutes. Exchange at New 'York *on Enghnd Was 71 THE. SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1842. to 7i per cent. premium, and on France sf. 35c. 1., to sf. 37c. SANTA ANNA was vigorously pursuing warlike operations against Texas. A force of 1,300 Mexicans, had taken San Antonio at a time when the Courts of Justice were sitting, and Judge, Jury, accused, and accusers, together with•the princival citizens, were made captives by the in vaders. The Texians were altogether taken by surprise. From Yucatan we learn that the Governmen was still holding out, and that no movemen against Campeachy or any other part of the coun try had been made by the Mexicans. - The accountA from Rio Janeiro state that an increased duty of five per cent. on imported goods had been ordered by the Treasury. The advices from Havannah extend to the .(22d ult. The Island of Cuba had been visited by a severe hurricane, which caused very considerable damage to the crops generally. Intelligence had been received at Balize, -Hon duras, of the loss of her Majesty's steam-ship Spitfire, on the 10th ult., on Half-Moon Key reef. All hands were saved, but the vessel be came a total wreck. The accounts from Madrid are to the 22d inst. Private correspondence states, that a modifica tion of the present Ministry was spoken of; by which CARN!ZRERO would become Minister for Foreign Affairs. Instructions had been for warded from the Government to Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, informing him that he must not ap proach Madrid. The Infante had requested as a fitvoui that he might be permitted to pass the winter in Andalusia, but had not yet receivedany answer to his application. It is announced that ZURBANO had been promoted to the rank of In spector-General of Customs by land and sea in the province of Catalonia. The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse on the 21st at 211 at 30 days. The Five per Cents. at 261 at GO days. On the 22d inst. the Three per Cents. were done at 211 for cash, and 21 11-16ths at 60 days. The Five per Cents. 26/ at 60 days, Accounts have been received from Lisbon by the Tagus steamer to the 24th instant. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and the Duke D'AUMALE had arrived with a squadron of three vessels, and were received by the Royal Family and the pub lic authorities with the most marked attentions. Sir CIIARES NAPIER, to whom the QUEEN owes so much, arrived on the f&lowing, day, and was saluted by the Portuguese forts as Ile proceeded up the river. Great attention was paid to our gallant countryman by the Court and public authorities. The tariff convention bad been brought to a conclusion, the final proposition on the part of Portugal having been communicated on the 22d to the British Envoy. It remained with our Government to accept or reject these terms. Some further reductions, but to an inconsiderable extent, were admitted by Portugal on woollen and printed cotton goods. No new general classes of goods were included, but reductions were here and there admitted in particular items. There was the appearance of further concession, without the reality of substantial abatement. Portugal had rejected as inadmissible the several propositions that 3s. 6d. per imperial gallon should be fixed as the duty upon her wines until her export duty of 12 milreis per pipe on port wine is done away with that an additional ad valorem duty of 20 per cent. should be retained besides the 3s. ; and that the system of specific duties should be abandoned by Portugal, and one of ad valorem duties substituted, with regard to our manufactured produce. For a reduction of 45 5. 11 per cent. on the im port duty on her wines, the staple of Portugal, England obtains in return a reduction of 20 per cent. upon one class, and 40 per cent. upon another class, of her manufactured goods, there being several articles on which no reduction is admitted. But unequal as the proposed reduc tion was, the commercial treaty being signed, it would be impolitic to reject it. The Paris papers have been received. Their contents are not important, being still chiefly occupied with the question of the Right of Search, and Lord ABERDEEN'S letter, &e. A private letter repeats, that the French Government has officially and formally com municated to ours that the Treaty of the 20th of December, 1841, will not be ratified. Coliat D'AnNim, the Minister of Prussia, and M. WENDLAND, the Charge d'Affaires of Bavaria, presented to the KING on Thursday, letters from their Sovereigns, notifying to his MAJESTY, the marriage a Princess MARY of Prussia with the Prince Royal of Bavaria. The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 25th inst., contains an important notice from the Chamber of Commerce of that city, informing the merchants that on the invitation of the Consul-General of France at Alexandria the Viceroy of EGYPT had ordered that all cases of goods forwarded in transitu between Suez and Alexandria would, without distinction of country, be allowed to pass freely on the mere declaration of their con tents, accompanied by an invoice. The duty to be levied on those goods was fixed at one-half per cent. ad valorem. This decision of MEHE.• MET ALI was communicated to the Chamber of Commerce by the Minister of Commerce and Agriculture in a letter of the 17th instant. " Yesterday morning," says the Sud of Marseilles, of the 25th, "Artim Bey, private Secretary, and Head Dragoman of Mehemet Ali, charged with the duty of delivering to the King of the French and the Royal Family, the presents sent by the Pacha, was allowed to go out of quarantine. He was accompanied by his secretaries and a numerous suite. The presents con sist of eight superb Arab horses of high breed, and six cashmere shawls of. the greatest beauty. The horses were immediately led off towards Paris, each under the guidance of a person sent for that purpose by the Viceroy, and the whole under the direction of one of the Pacha's equerries. Amongst the horses is the one ridden by Ibrahim Pacha at the battle of Nezib. He is of a light grey colour, and is of a -more muscular form than is generally seen amongst horses of the Arab race. It is said that this animal, in the retreat of Syria, sustained a gallop of eight hours, without being much fatigued, and that having fallen into the power of an Arab tribe, he was ex changed for 1,200 camels. The only bay horse amongst the eight is one unequalled in Egypt for speed. The shawls are the finest that the Pacha has been able to obtain. A considerable crowd was wait ing at the door of the lazaretto to see the strangers. Artim Bey, who has been before in Marseilles, ex presSes himself in French with great facility." The Constitutionnel has a brief article on the right •of search and slavery in the French colonies, which displays much good sense and moderation. The following is an extract : " No person has shown greater opposition to the right in g the o he f F s e r a e i n • e e l h i than andhave, the i b b t , t r . t t 3 h , e G f t a our s maritime commerce against the exercise of this vexatious privi lege shall not lead us beyo n d the mark. We shall always keep clear of two faults ; first, that of exciting a blind and systematic hatred against England, so as to drive the two civilising nations of the world to a lamentable rupture ; and next that of abandoning the idea, at once political and Cnristian, of emanci pating the slaves in our colonies. We believe, on the contrary, that the difference relative to the right of earth has brought about circumstances most favour able to a prudent and well ordered emancipation ; it has given a counterpoise to the too violent passions of certain abolitionists ; it has produced in men's minds a happy reaction in favour of our maritime interests; it has taken from imprudent defenders of slavery all pretext for saying that France meditates the ruin of her colonies and navy; it has, in fine, prepared for moderate and practical men, the means of making themselves heard by every one, and of peaceably proceeding with the solution of the difficult problem of slave emancipation with the continuance of labour. Englr,nd, however, will take the lead, will organise free labour, and will escape from the crisis in which her emancipated colonies are still placed. A new re action in favour of emancipation will declare itself in France ; public opinion will become imperious ; every thing will be hurried on precipitately, and, under the dominion of an excited feeling, the blind champions of the colonies will have compromised, by a temporary success, the future prosperity, and, perhaps, the exist ence of the colonies, of which they pretend to be de fenderS. For our parts, we hope that moderation and sound policy will have the advantage, and that France will, in a short time, calmly and resolutely commence the work of colonial transformation. OCTOBER 28.

By accounts brought from America by the Colum bia steamer, we learn that Sir Charles Bagot has pro rogued the Provincial Parliament of Canada to the 18th November, and that Mexico had recommenced war against Texas.

All the Paris papers have been received but their contents .are not important. The City of Rouen has expressed, through its legal representatives, its opinion on thegreat question which at present agitates French industry. The Chamber of Commerce has decided on a course by which it pro nounces unanimously against the project of a Cus toms' Union with Belgium. Count d'Arnim, the Prussian Minister, had an au dience on Thurslay of the King at St. Cloud, at which he presented to his Majesty letters from his Sovereign, announcing the marriage of the Princess Maria, daughter of Prince William of Prussia, with the Prince Royal of Bavaria. A letter from the . King of Bavaria to his Majesty Louis Philippe, on the,same occasion, has been delivered by the Bavarian Charge d'Affaires to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In a report made to the Governor-General from General de Lamm icie,re, dated from the bivouac of Teneda, Oct. 13, the General relates a series of unimportant affairs, all of which, however, were of a nature to command the submission of the tribes which had resisted, and he announces the capture of a very large quantity of grain, not less, he says, that 40,000 quintals. Dwarkanauth Tagore was received by the King of the French on Friday. His Majesty was graciously pleased on this occasion to dispense with the usual Court etiquette, and did the Baboo the honour of ad mitting.him into, his family circle.

Weyse, a celebrated musical composer, died re cently at Copenhagen, aged 70. rin3xac opxxxoN. The Times, speaking of the recommendation of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to suppress the Welsh diocese of St. Asaph, says :--" We have been assured by benificed clergymen of the diocese of St. Asaph, that if anything at all is to be done in the pre sent condition of the diocese towards restor ing, throughout the people, the true principles and practice of the Church,—or, in the words of the Com missioners, towards promoting her efficiency, —it must and can be done only by the Bishops. The Welch poor, and among them even the most violent Dissenters, entertain less prejudice against the office and intervention o f'a Bishop, as being a scriptural office, than they do against any other point of Church prac • tice ; and when we see what has been eTected, and in' how short a time, by the ability, the diligence, and the zeal of Bishop Thirwall, we can well believe that the episcopal office, in every point of view and in every place important, is in Wales the great instru ment by which the efficiency of the Church is to be promoted and restored—the last a-.‘ , 1 sole support of truth and unity." We quote the following from the Chronicle : " Heartily do we wish that we could induce our fel low-subjects of every grade, condition, and distinc tion in politics to drop for a brief space their party views and party predilections, and to look with a single eye' on that now really appalling question— the condition of the country. For assuredly the con dition of the country is peculiar : it is more, it is really alarming. The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.' rhe new Corn-law has done its worst, as well as its best, for this season. The new tariff is at work, doing more damage to minor tradesmen than good to the great bulk of the consumers, the cause of which is its main and mani fest omissions. The importers of foreign cattle are not gaining what our home graziers are losing. And though wheat has fallen so greatly in price, bread has not yet so diminished in price as to prove a general boon to tha community. Trade is paralysed, yet money is abundant. There is little speculation, yet the means of forcing speculation are said to be a drug in the market.'" The Post says :—" The address which has just been Lublished from the Magistrates of Tipperary to their ord Lieutenant proves the gratifying fact that one year of firm Conservative Government—of a Govern ment whose object was not to conciliate a faction, but to administer the law to a nation—has effected what ten years of timid Whiggery, with all its flattery of the worst propensities of the rabble, all its tacit con nivance at treasonable projects, all its misapplication of patronage, and its general gaol deliveries could not accomplish, namely, the tranquillization of that county whose turbulence has been until now a standing re proach to the inefficiency of the law, and a corroding ulcer in the side of the sister country." " IVICONEY-TRILDE-COMMERCE.

RIGHT OF SEARCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS. entirely concur in the justice of the obser vations you hare lately made, regarding the impress ment of seamen, and our right to search neutral vessels during a time of war. Mope, you will again and again reiterate these observations, which are so true, that they only require impartial attention to meet with universal assent. We are as capable of forming cor rect opinions as the older writers on international law, and no authority can supersede common sense, and strict justice. We cannot possibly have the right to search any neutral vessel, during the time of war, except by the consent of both parties, and the sooner we gracefully relinquish an unjust claim the better. The right can only be that of superior power, but even if it..were acknowledged, what would be the use of it? We should merely be able to compel a feW unwilling sailorS to serve on board our ships of war, a compulsio n that never w ill be required if they be only treated with common jtiqtice,add humanity. These remarks may also be applied to slave treaties. If the French be dissatisfied with their treaty, let them have a new one, for no benefit can be derived from any treaty that is unwillingly executed. • Your most obedient servant, Oct. 29, 1842.

By a communication issued on Friday from the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, the following is stated to be the position of that part of the Colombian debt attaching to the Republic of New Granada, which is 60 per cent. on the whole :—An agreement was made at Bogota in April last, between the agents of the Bondholders and the Government, subject to approval by the Bondholders in England, for the adjustment of this portion of the debt. It has been found impracticable to carry this agreement into eact, in consequence of its containing a clause to which the assent of the British Government cannot be obtained. This clause is to the effect, that in order to prevent the branches of revenue appropriated to the payment of the dividends being at any fuzure time interfered with by factious disturbances in New Gra nada, the British Government will bind itself, when ever called upon by the Government of New Granada to do so, to lend its assistance towards putting down such factious disturbances. The British Government, al though always ready to do every thing in its power to' protect the interests of the Bondholders, has declined to enter into an engagement the consequences of which it does not foresee ; and, as the, aforesaid agreement with the Bondholders has been made to depend upon obtaining the agreement of the British Government to this clause, the proceedings are of necessity referred back to Bogota, in order that the clause in question may be abstracted from the agree ment. It i 3 quite clear that the Government of New Grhnada could have no right to impose any such con dition on the Bondholders. The Committee of Bond holders have sent out peremptory instructions to Bogota to have the negotiation brought to an instant close, without the introduction of any condition which it is not in the power of the Bondholders to perform. The last accounts from New Granada state that tran quillity was restored throughout the Republic; but there is no doubt that the mischief which the last re volution (extending over a period of nearly 18 months) has produced, 11:s greatly thrown back the resources of the country from one extremity of it to the other. The Committee have at the same time sent instruc tions to obtain an immediate arrangement of that portion of the debt which devolves on the Republic of the Equator, viz., 211 per cent.—Times.

'ft - et West India papers will be in town to-morrow, the steamer having been seen to enter Falmouth. So much for Post-office management. (From The San of Last Night.) The letters •and papers received this, morning by the Colombia, British North American packet-ship, are or considerable interest. By far the most im portant step adopted by the United Legislature of Canada during the short session was the passing of a law imposing-tr duty of 3s. per bushel on the produce of the United States, on its admission into our colony. This step had been readily adopted, in conformity with the views of her Majesty's Government, as expressed in a dispatch that had been received from the Colo nial-office. • The wheat crop of the United States in the year 1839 was, according to the census return, 84,833,000 bushels ; it is esthnated that the crop of th 3 present year will exceed that of 1839 by 30 per cent., or nearly one •third, giving an aggregate production in 1842 of 110.269,000 bushels. There was a good demand for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday, and prices were fully supported. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 American to speculators. —Railway Shares were steady.

The purchase of 10,0001. for the Savings Banks has been made again this morning. The price was 924 for the Reduced Three per Cents. Bank Stock is worth 165. - The news from Lisbon is more satisfactory, as the commercial treaty was agreed on,. and only awaits the ratification of England.

The stock has improved slightly, and the price of the New Five . per Cents. has been 381 to and of the Converted, 321 to 1.
