From that date to the 20th inst. several interviews took place between his Excel lency the Peruvian Minister and Mr. J. D. Powles, the deputy-chairman of the committe of bondholders, until the terms were finally adjusted, and expressly approved of, by Mr. J. D. Powles, who, moreover, assured the Minister that he would support them at the meeting ; and, at the suggestion of these gentle men, an article was superadded to the proposals about to be submitted to the hondholders, providing for the nomination of commissioners, who are to receive the whole amount of interest falling due on the Peruvian bonds, for the benefit of the bondholders. Mr. Powles received from his Excellency a rough draft of the terms offered by the Peruvian Government, so early as Wednesday, the 20th, so that he was, from that day, aware of the improved terms, although the public was not informed is to their nature until Friday and Saturday following. It was rumoured last week in the City, when the rise of about 10 per cent. occurred on Peruvian Stock (between Wednesday and Satur day), that the Peruvian Government had been buying up its stock ; the insinuation was immediately disa vowed and refuted by the Peruvian Consul- General in a letter he addressed to the Globe, of Saturday, 23d ; and the foregoing facts speak for themselves. It is clear that others than the Peruvian Government may have been in the market. Perhaps Mr. Powles would explain at the meeting, on Thursday next, by what accident the terms offered by the Peru vian Minister was not made public on the 20th—the day he received them. The meeting should also be informed touching the superadded article, and why the whole bulk of the dividends belonging to the bondholders should be managed or distributed by commissioners when there are banks in London affording unquestionable security. Those matters should be sifted at the general meeting, and some mode devised which, in all future offers by the South-American Governments, would prevent any particular individual, or deputation, from reaping the fruits of a prior knowledge of terms to the prejudice of the bondholders in general, as well as the public. The abundance of guano in Peru makes the present offer, if accepted, a positive certai n ty, w hi c h no political disturbance in that country can e ff ec t. Th e amount payable this first year of interest on the active bonds, at four per cent., will be about r 'O,OOO/. ; the four following years, will be in creased one-half per cent. per annum, until it reached six per cent., increasing the annual pay men to much above 100,0001. The Government of Peru does not require commissioners to manage this money. What necessity have the bondholders for commissioners ? - - THE DECEASED EARL or AUCRLAND.—AIthough there are no Cabinet ministers in town, rumour has already pointed to two noblemen as likely candidates for the office of First Lord of the Almiralty—viz., ;he Marquis of Normanby, now ambai t ad or at and the Earl of Carlisle, the First Commissioner of Woods and Forests. Captain Charles Eden, the relative and private secretary to the late Noble Earl, proceeded to the Grange on Monday, and having given the necessary preparatory directions for the removal of the body of Lord Auckland to London, returned to town yesterday. The place of interment has not yet been fixed upon, but it is probable that the remains of this very highly esteemed and much-lamented nobleman will rest in the family vault at Beckenham, near Bromley, Kent. The noble houses of Buckinghamshire, Bexley-, Godolphin, Brougham, &e., are thrown into mourning by thfs sad event.—Herald. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.

(THIS DAY.) George Collins, the ostler at the Bell Inn, White chapel-road, was indicted for stealing a sack of mixed corn, the property of Messrs. Peacock, of Stratford. A policeman stated, that one day last week he saw the prisoner go to a waggon of Messrs. Peacock's, which was standing oppocdte the inn, and take from it a sack o c al). He followed him into the yard and took hi m i n t o ' custody. Peacock's waggoner stated that the s:ck of corn found on the prisoner by•the policeman had been taken off the waggon. It had been mixed for the food of his own heres. The sack had his masters' name on it. THE AUTHORSHIP OF " LUCILLE BELMONT."— Were we to hazard a conjecture upon the question which must immediately be raised—" Who is the author of Lucille Belmont ?”'—we might mislead, therefore we refrain from doing so. While some vigorous sketches of distinguished statesmen, and minute details that could be given only by one who had marked them in their pri• racy, induce us to ascribe the work to a public man, a member of the legislature, the juvenile feelings, the simple elcquence, the pure romantic spirit that pervade it, make 8s pause ere we decide that the first bloom of youth and the ripeness of matured manhood can coexist in the same individual ; and th©n the pictures of life in the highest circles, not drawn second-hand, but painted from originals, by a master artist, increase our perplexity. Of one thing alone are we certain, that the author or r of Lucille Belmont' is a man of singular refinementi,i extensive political and diplomatic knowledge, high breeding, of exalted station, and of excellent intentions. —Morning Post.

His Lordship appointed the wardmote to take place on Friday, the 12th instant, at the Court House, in the Old Bailey, at six o'clock in the evening.

John George Newsom yosterday, at his residence (Sullivan's Quay), in the 30th year of his age. Mr. Newsom had been for many years connected will the Cork Press, i n the ca pacity of repor:er—having been attached to the Cork Examiner fo r a lengthened period, as also to the Southern Reporter, en which journal he was engaged up to the period of his very sudden demise, and during which lengthened period he won the esteem and merited the best regards of his proiessional brethren, as also the proprietary of both establishments. For several months past Mr. NI Iwscn's c..nstitution had been gradually yielding under an attack of disesve of the heart, though within the lx,t few weeks he hail so far rallied as to be able to enter on the discharge of the usual routine duties connected with his department of journalism ; notwithstanding, a sudden attack, immediately after breakfast yesterday, terminated hi.l existence in the brief space of a few minutes, amid till deep-telt regret of a number of affectionate rela tives and friends by whom he happened to be surrounded at the awful moment.—Cork Examiner of Monday. The prisoner declared that the sack had been a long time in his possession, and had on the day in question just purchased the corn at a chandler's in the neighbour hood, to whom he had referred the police man. The constable being re-called said, that upon inquiry, he found that some man like the prisoner, had bought a -uck of chaff, not of mixed corn, at the chandler's re ferred to. But he still positively swore that he saw the prisoner take the sack from the waggon, and it contained not chafT, but the corn mixed and rrepared for food. The prisoner had been in custody bvfore upon a similar charge, and his fellow-ostler was last year convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment for stealing a sack of corn from a waggon at the inn door under similar cir cumstances. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to six months imprisonment. Two or three petty cases of larceny concluded the session, which was unusually short. A FRIEND OF JUSTICE. Tuesday, Jan. 2, 1849 GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—Yesterday the Colo nial Land and Emigration Commissioners appointed a vessel to sail with male and female emigrants, embarking at Deptford and Plymouth for Port Phillip, on the 29 inst., for Port Adelaide, Ftb. 2- Sydney, the sth and 7th; Port Phillip, B t h ; an d Adelaide on the 18th. On Monday two vessels, for the conveyance of 500 emigrants to Sydney and Port Phillip, commenced the embarkation of the stores and passengers at Deptford. In addition to the above, seven other vessels have been taken up by the commissioners, and will sail before the 22d inst. for New South Wales and Australia, making a total of fifteen vessels, their united burden being 7,500 tons, calculated to carry 3,750 adults. FRANCE. The Gazette des TriLunaux says—" A journal has announced that a seizure of five or six hundred ball cartridges had been made in the residence of M. Bastide, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs. The follow ing is perhaps the cause of this rumour :—At the period, somewhat recent, in which every member of the Government thought it necessary to take precau tions for his defence, a numerous post was established in the hotel of the Rue des Capucines, and a certain quantity of ammunition Wa s there de posited. When the effervescence of the first political commotions had calmed down, the depots from which the arms and ammunition were taken required that they should be sent back, and it was then ascertained that a very small number of the cartridges of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were missing. This circumstance, which is explained by the successive removals which took place, has not excited any obser vation." The Evenement states that M. Marrast has an nounced his determination not to present himself again as a candidate for the presidency of the National Assembly. The Akbar of Algiers gives an account of a fatal quarrel in the circle of Bathna. A detachment of twenty-one Spaniards and Germans having a dis pute about the cooking of their provisions, the Germans complaining of the cook, who was a Spaniard, and the corporal who was in com mand of the detachment having decided that he should be changed for a German, the Spaniards fell upon th e G erman coo k an d mur d ere d him, and then, in their f ur y, woun d e d severa l o ther persons in a serious manner. An armed force having arrived, three of the Spaniards shut themselves up in a crenelated house, and finding some muskets, pre pared for a seige. Before they could be su bd u ed, two of the Spaniards were killed ; the third was taken prisoner. The price of bread for the first fortnight of the present month remains fixed at 28 centimes the kilo gramme. The Moniteur publishes a decree of M. Louis Na poleon, appointing 14 prefects, all of whom either filled these functions, or those of sub-prefect, under the Government of Louis Philippe. The Moniteur also contains the returns of the corn trade in the different markets of France, during the first fortnight of December last, from which it appears that the hectolitre of wheat then sold, on an average, for 16f. 29c. at Toulouse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles ; at 14f. 94c. at Marans and Bor deaux ; 15f. 60c. at Le Grand Lamps and St. Lau rent ; 15f. at Mulhausen and Strasburg; 15f. 3c. at Bergues, Arras, Roye, Soissons, Paris, and Rouen ; 13f. 92c. at Saumur and Nantes ; 12f. 66c. at Metz, Verdun, and Charleville ; 15f. 35c. at St. Lo, Paim pol, Quimper, and Hennebon. The Reforme contains the following version of the cause of the resignation of M. Leon de Malleville : " According to certain reports the Minister of the Interior obstinately refused to deliver up to the Presi dent of the Republic the evidence collected relative to the affairs of Strasburg and Boulogne, because that evi dence was collected by a certain Minister of the Repub , lie himself when he was Under-Secretary of State and Director-General of the Police of the kingdom under Louis Philippe. Amongst those documents are, it is said, several curious letters written by police agents against the present President of the Republic. The scruples of the Minister may well be imagined, and that consequently ho would rather resign than deliver up his own work." SPAIN. The Journal du Peuple of the 29th ult. contains the following intelligence from Catalonia :—" The soldiers of Cabrera," it says, " brought to him, some days ago, a French agent proceeding to Madrid with dispatches, who had fallen into their hands. The Carlist Chief treated him with kindness, invited him to dine, and gave him an escort to insure his safe pas sage through the country occupied by the insurgents, Two officers, who accompanied the ex-Carlist Chief Posa in his defection, frequently travelled by the rail road between Barcelona and Mataro. Cabrera, on being informed of it, placed a force at one of the sta tions, and the two officers, having been arrested, were immediately shot." HUNGARY. The Cologne Gazette publishes a bulletin from the theatre of war in Hungary, dated Vienna the 26th ult. The head-quarters of Prince Win dischgratz were advanced on the 26th as far as St. Miklos, near Hochstrass. The advanced posts stand within half-an-hour's march of Raab. The column of Colonel Horvath, which had hitherto occu pied Oedenburg, was to advance on the 26th to Kapuvar, and so to effect a junction with the right wing of the Imperial army. Another corps, under Lieutenant-Colonel Count Althaun, was on its march via Guns to Steinamanger, where it would effect a junction with the troops which are advancing under Count Nugent from the frontiers of Styria to Kormond, via Lovo. The enemy appears to be chiefly occupied in plundering. Accounts from Werschetz, of the 17th of December, announce the utter rout of the insurgents by the Servian General Suplicacz. In the Carpathian districts the severe weather has considerably increased the difficulties of communication. A portion of the in surgents in arms at Silein under Captain Balogh, had retreated before the division commanded by Field- Marshal Lieutenant Simonich. The latter General was besieging the small fortress of Leopoldstadt. All the railroad communication from Vienna to Tyrnau, and on the other side as far as Oedenburg, are now restored. The Imperial troops are everywhere re ceived by the inhabitants in the most amicable manner. The position of the Austrian corps Armee was not materially altered. Count Zichy had been appointed commissioner of the districts of Presburg and Wiesel burg. Raab vas expected to surrender very shortly, the inhabitants being disposed for peace, and much terrified, moreover, by the menaced bombardment of the town. The accounts from Lower Hungary of Dec. 21 and 22, confirm the brilliant achievements at Werchetz, Carlowitz, and Essegg, but the intel ligence from the south is less unfavourable to the Magyar cause. The Hungarians were fighting desperately in that district, and had penetrated to Neudorf. Arad and Temesvar were besieged, and the camps at Tomasevzer, Doliblaser, and Aliburaer , are said to have been destroyed. The Magyars were attacked on the 16th at Cserepaj by Knicanin, who captured six guns; 600 Magyars were slain, and 800 were taken prisoners. Pesth and Ofen await with resignation the advance of the Austrian army. TAW VALE RAILWAY. A special meeting of the proprietors in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, at two o'clock, to elect two additional directors at the board of directors, for the purpose of complying with the provi sions of the Bideford and South Molton Line, and thus making the number of twelve required by the Act. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. Lacy, M.P., Mr. Chaplin, M.P., and Mr. llzielli were elected directors. It was agreed that four members should form a quorum. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a shareholder, stated tbat the last call had realised 16,0001., the amount called for being 44,000/. After transacting some mere routine business, the meeting broke up.

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standar d gold, gives an ex• change of 25.40; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.27 i, it follo ws that gold is 0.49 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advises from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at _ the English Mint price of 31. s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.101; and filo exchange at Hambursh on London at short being 13.101. it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in London than in Liamburgh.
