STATE or TRADE.—The demand for goods at Leicester is not quite so brisk, and the market is heavy, as it usually is at this season of the year. The victories in Affghanistan and peace with 'China, at present, have not had time to operate, except at Li verpool, where there was at once a great demand for cotton. The opening of the Chinese empire for Bri tish manufactures for the first time must produce great consequences, and the most sanguine expecta tions are formed of the result. In Yorkshire and Lancashire there is a gradual improvement, and in many foreign countries the glut of English goods is over, although it has not been followed by any im rovement in price. —L e i ces t er J ou rnal. A gathering of the Duke of Buccleuch's London tradesmen was held on Friday at the Freemasons' Tavern, to celebrate his Grace's birthday. The party consisted of upwards of fifty persons, who sat down to an excellent dinner. The health of the Noble Duke was drank with great enthusiasm, and the expressions of respect and esteem for his Grace were unanimous and unbounded. SOUTH AMERICAN BOND HOLDERS. The following correspondence between the Com mittee of South American Bondholders and Messrs. Lizardi was read on the Stock Exchange to day, in explanation of the mystery that has of late prevailed in the Mexican market : No. I. • "Austin Friars, Nov. 23. " Gentlemen,—Understanding that your Committee is about to meet this day in reference to the question of the amount of Mexican bonds in circulation, we have no hesitation, for your information and that of the Bondholders, to state that the amount of the bonds in question delivered to us by A. de Iturbide, Esq., the Mexican Minister in this country at the time, was —Of Active Five per Cent. bonds, 5,500,000/. ; De ferred ditto, 5,500,000/. These bonds all bear date the 30th of September, and are signed by the said Augustine de Iturbide. We have not yet issued the above amount of bonds, but the total amount, when the issue shall be completed, cannot exceed the sum already stated:—We have the honour to be, Gentle men, your obedient servants, "F. DE LIZARDI and CO. "Pro MANUEL I. DE LIZARDT." FROM TUB COMMITTEE TO MESSRS. F. DB LIZARD' AND co. No. 11. " 13, Austinfriars, Nov. 24. " Gentlemen,--,The Committee of Spanish Ameri can Bondholders have been favoured with your letter of this date.. " The Committee beg leave to refer to the proceed ings which took place at the time of the conversion of Mexican bonds. By the first article of the agreement for the said conversion it was provided, " There shall be created a national consolidated fund, with interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum, with the sole and determinate object of con verting thereinto the entire foreign debt, if it shall appear to the present creditors advantageous so to do, and to fund it in the manner set forth in following articles ; to which effect Messrs. F. de Lizardi and Co., of the city of London, are hereby named and appointed the agents of the Republic for the said ope ration ; and they shall, in the name of the Mexican nation, remit the corresponding bonds of the said con solidated funds in pounds sterling, payable in London on the Ist of October, 1866, with interest coupons in the margin for each half-year until said date. These bonds shall, moreover, be countersigned by the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic in London, or by his representative.' "Accordingly the issue of bonds of the national Consolidated Fund under this agreement was to be limited to the sole use and determinate object of con • verting thereinto the entire foreign debt. "By the inclosed statement it appears to the Com mittee that the total amount of bonds required for this purpose is 9,247,9371. The Committee presume, therefore, that no greater issue than this amount either has been made or will be made. On this point the Committee request the favour of information from you previous to their meeting again to-morrow (Fri day) at two o'clock.—l have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) "G. R.

We announced several weeks ago that arrangements had been com pleted for giving a second battalion to three regiments. Not only has the Secretary-at-War abandoned this intention, but he has decided on reducing the recently increased establishment of infantry corps. Should the Emperor of China fulfil the conditions of the treaty of Nankin, and should the affairs of Affghanis tan terminate, a s it i s con fid en tly an ti c ip a t e d th e y will, in the complete pacification of that country, a much larger diminution of our land forcesiwill inevi• tably take place. The reduction proposed for the present will not exceed 3,000 men.—United Service Gazette. PAISLEY.-It appears that in Paisley, at the present moment, there are no less than 7,000 persons abso lutely subsisting on charity alone. There are, added to this, stores where articles of daily consumption can be purchased at a cheaper rate than usual, which stores are privately supplied by the Government. This is a benefit, perhaps, to the absolutely starving people, but it must tend to further embarrass the shop keepers, who are, as every one knows, suffering most severely from the depression of the times. Within the last three months, no less than three thousand able working mechanics have e migrated to the west ern world from the neighbourhood of Paisley. Why will the Government blindly rush on to ruin ? Thank Heaven " the League "possesses determination and the will; may Heaven grant them soon the means. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE . The whole of the company assembled on Saturday, pursuant to adjournment from the previous day, for, the purpose of finally arranging the terms upon which the theatre should continue-open under the new ma. nagement of Mr. Bunn. The facts relative to this sudden and unexpected event in the theatrical world have been somewhat in correctly laid before theAmblic in the account of Thursday's proceedings. Mr. Bunn was first put in communication with the Proprietors at ten o'clock on Thursday morning, up to which time he was perfectly unconscious that any change in the management was about to take place. Upon .the proposition being made, Mr. Bunn is stated to have said that nothing would induce him to be a party to any proceeding that approached a CQ• ercive character towards Mr. Kemble. He was as sured that nothing was more remote from the inten tion and disposition of the Proprietors, and the lessee ship was again offered to him. Mr. Bunn remarked on the almost insurmountable obstacles which pre sented themselves to his entering on the theatre in its present circumstances. The Proprietors said they did not make this a sine qua non, but that he might date his tenantcy from Christmas next, and that if he would become the medium of keeping the theatre open until that period, he would be doing the company as well as themselves (the Proprietors) a service. Mr. Bunn asked for a brief period of time to see his way clear, and communicate with the performers. The meeting of Friday was the consequence. Immediately after the close of this meeting, Mr. Bunn was in personal and confidential communication with Mr. Butler, who acted, and, as it will be seen, has throughout continued to act as the representative of the Kemble family. The result of the interview was the departure of Mr. Butler for Brighton, where Mrs. Sartoris (Miss A Kemble) is at present sojourn ing, for the purpose of communicating to that lady the proposition of the Proprietors. Miss Kemble, having expressed herself deeply sensible of the, kindly feelings which had been manifested towards her by those pre sent at the meeting held at the theatre during the afternoon, and her anxiety that the theatre might, for the interest of the profession, continue open, said she would rather give her services gratuitously than that it should be closed, and entrusted Mr. Butler with a letter to that effect, to be read at the meeting of Saturday. Mr. Butler, upon his return to town on• Saturday morning, saw Mr. Bunn, and made him acquainted with Miss Kemble's very generous offer, at the same time observing that he felt somewhat annoyed at find ing that the account which had been giving in several of the morning journals would lead to the inference that compulsion had been used towards Mr. Kemble in his separation from the management. Mr. Bunn regretted that the statement should have conveyed such an impression, and repeated what he had said to the Proprietors, that nothing would induce him to place himself in opposition to one whom he so much respected as Mr. Kemble, adding, " If this step is to the prejudice of Mr. Kemble, I will not take it." Mr. Butler said it certainly was not, and for his part he was heartily rejoiced that Mr. .Kemble had given up the lesseeship. The meeting of Saturday was very numerously attended, and the feeling displayed throughout the proceedings was as enthusiastic as it was generous and creditable to all parties. It having been signified to the company that the Proprietors could not, with a due regard to the expenses of the theatre when open, and the interests of the renters, recede from their proposition of the previous day, the announcement of the result of Mr. Butler's journey to Brighton was the all-absorbing subject of expectation, and certainly the chief feature of the meeting was the scene which ensued upon the reading of Miss Kemble's letter. In this communication she stated that " nothing should induce her to put the company in a difficulty ; that she would cheerfully make herself one of them ; that she would take her salary subject to the receipts; that she would be the last paid ; and that, if there was not enough, she would play for nothing." Great cheering• followed the, - reading of this letter. The company, having given expression to their admi ration of Miss Kemble's offer, said they were per fectly satisfied that the mere fact of her appearing on the stage for the last time would draw houses that could not fail to cover all the expenses of the manage ment; but, under any circumstances, imitating her example, they would readily take their risk in the re ceipts of the house. The whole of the company then signed an agreement to this effect, and the house will consequently re-open to-night under the management of Mr. Bunn. It is stated that the heavy duties of the lesseeship have operated most prejudicially upon Mr. Kemble's health, and that his physicians had given an extremely unfavourable opinion as to the probable consequences of a continued performance of them It is said that ill health has prevented Mr. Kenable's attendance at the theatre during the last six weeks. THE SCOTCH CONVOCATION, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOY._ - Sin,—What will a Morning Contemporary of yours say now to the doings of our Non-Intrusionists ? A short time since that paper in strong language reviled the idea of the Non-Intrusionists making any further application to the powers that be. So sure was it that these much wronged and suffering men would not dishonour themselves and their sacred cause by again seeking the aid of secular power, that it pledged itself never more to say a word for them if they should. The pledge is now forfeited, or about to be come so ; and we shall see if your Contemporary em braces so fair an occasion to leave off giving articles on a subject of which he seems to know very little. He may thank his stars for so lucky an opportunity of escape. The good man seems to think that the Non-Intrusionists are really in good earnest all the This while when they raise the cry of " stipends to the held t o account for the oddity of a professedly Volun tary wpaperT beingperhaps he p may in some measure be panegyrist of those "wild men ;" and also for the oddities of the articles Nidsn,e" & s c. de voted to that object. It is sincerely to be hoped that your Contemporary is bett er acquainted with other mat t ers treated of in his columns, and that he will in future stick to what he knows more of, and let the Non-Intrusionist Clergy care for themselves. He may rest assured that they w ill do so, perhaps with a demure smile at him into the bargain.—l am, Sir, your daily reader, A SCOTSMAN. Carlisle, Nov. 23, 1842.

THE CONVOCATION. (Abridged from the Edinburgh Adaertiser.) CONCLUDING MEETING. The convocation of ministers which has sat in deli beration in this city for the last seven days, on the dif ficulties of the Church, having terminated its sittings yesterday, the concluding meeting was held last night, in Lady Glenorchy's church, at seven o'clock. Its de sir was to afford an opportunity of addressing those friendly to the principles of Non-Intrusion, on the sub jects which had claimed the attention of the Convo cation, in connexion with devotional exercises. The Rev. Dr. Brown, of Glasgow, presided. After giving out four verses of the 132 d. Psalm, 13th verse, which were sung by the audience standing, Mr. Pit cairn read the second chapter of Revelations. Dr. Brown engaged in prayer, which was full of allusions to the trying circumstances in which the ministers of the Church were placed, and the unanimity with which the deliberations of the Convocation had been con ducted. Letters of apology were read from Dr. Chal mers, Dr. Patrick M`Farlane, and Dr. Welsh, whose letter expressed an anxious hope that the differences between them and the Legislature would yet be ad justed. Dr. BnowN regretted that his place had not been occupied by Dr. Welsh, to whom it naturally belonged, as Moderator. The object was to return thanks to God for the unanimity which had prevailed amongst them since they met together as a holy Convocation. A spirit of prayer, of Christian zeal and harmony, had been preserved throughout, from which great good could not fail to result. It was no matter, of or dinary importance which had brought so many good Men together at such a season ; it was a strong desire for the glory of the Church of Christ, and a sense of the perilous circumstances in which the Church was placed, and which threatened its existence. The ob ject of their meeting had been accomplished, as they would learn from the addresses which were to be de- livered to-night in elucidation and support of the reso lutions adopted by the Convocation. Dr. BUCHANAN, of Glasgow, said, the whole ques tion had now resolved itself into this—was the Church a human or was it a divine institution. Certainly, if it stood on the low vulgar level of a mere Municipal Corporation, it must be conceded that the State should be its governor. No sphere could have more than one centre, and in this view the functions of the Church ought to be limited by the will of the State, and her office-bearers subject to its control. But if the Church has a Divine foundation, and possesses laws' which are independent of the Civil Magistrate, then is it that no secular power can bring her into bondage. From the throne of the Most High does the light emanate which is the Church's guide, and from his revealed word alone does that decree proceed which can give law to the Church. If the Church had known that the law of patronage meant that Presbyteries were bound and astricted by law to re ceive and declare qualified, the man whom the patron has thought qualified, under pain of civil penaltie:t, then the law of patronage would never have been tolerated. But until the decision in the Auchterarder case the Church did not so understand it,_rightly judging that she had acts and statutes ratified and confirmed, which gave her Presbyteries the sole right of judging of the qualifications of ministers. Pa tronage was tolerated, because of the other advantages which the Church derived from the connection with the State. But this decision has wholly altered the rela tive position of the Church to the State. It has made the presentation and induction of ministers a matter of mere civil arrangement, in which the Church, act ing on its intrinsic right, and in conscientious fulfil ment of its solemn obligations to its Divine head, may be subjected to pains and penalties by the Civil power. The first decision in the Auchterarder case did not alarm the Church to such a degree, for it re ferred solely to the temporalia of the cure, which the Church did not dispute the right of the Civil Courts to regulate ' • but this second and last judgment has shown the Church the full dimensions of the evil which awaits her. The Church, by acting on its own authority, and giving a verdict in a way disagreeable to the Courts of Law, has subjected itself in damages, which have been named at 16,0001. The Civil power was at all times jealous of the attempt to place a Judge in a situation of temptation. And yet in a case of far higher moment than the adjudication of mere civil interests, the Judges were bribed to decide only in one particular way, under penalty of heavy damages, and their integrity as an independent judica catory hereby undermined. The prospect which presents itself of a separation between the Church and the State, must be looked at with horror and dis may. And yet, it is nut so much for the sake of the Church that this horror and dismay should he felt, as for the sake of the State itself. But it must be evident to the Legislature that unless the Church is to have conceded to it a power distinct from the Civil Magistrate, in the exercise of that authority which of right belongs to it, and to it alone, it would be better for the Church that its connection with the State were dissolved to-morrow. Mr. M'DONALD, of Urquhart, having engaged in prayer, Dr. CLasort gave some particulars connected with the Convocation. There were present at its sittings 479 ministers, who came from the extreme north of Caithness, as well as Maidenkirk in the south. No doubt some difference of opinion did exist, as it could hardly fail to do among such a meeting on so grave a question as that before them, but they were thoroughly united in sentiment and in feeling as regards the alarming nature of the crisis which had come upon the Church. Two sets of resolutions had been adopted; the first of which had reference to the dis tinctions essentially existing between the Civil Ma gistrate's jurisdiction, and that which belonged to the Courts of the Church of Christ. This distinction was apparent, and in the whole of God's dealings with his people, as _recorded in his revealed Word and in the whole history of his Church on earth, its con stitution was such that it could not by any possibility be infringed on, unless it ceased to exist as such. Their own Confession of Faith said positively that the Church had a power altogether distinct from the Civil Magistrate, and with which he may not inter fere. It is on this high ground that the Convocation has given forth a clear and distinct testimony to the people and the rulers on this important point, brought before them for deliberation. To that tes timony 427 ,Ministers in the Convocation gave their adherenee and support. The second question was, as to what steps the Ministers had come up to this Convocation to take in this great emergency. The Church has been hindered in the exercise of its spiritual discipline in the preaching of the Gospel, and in the dispensation of the ordinances. We have therefore declared on this point, that we cannot con tinue to be a free Church of Christ, if we are not to be protected from such encroachments on the part or the Civil Courts. We have declared that if the prin ciples of the Auchterarder case are to he held by the Legislature as correct, we are ready to surrender all the privileges which belong to us as an Established Church, rather than submit to that decision. The only question at the Convocation was the way and method in which this declaration should be made to the Legislature. We have resolved to say to them, that if the Civil power is to exercise an undue autho rity- in the Church of Christ, we cannot continue to take its gifts, if they impose upon us conditions which are unlawful and contrary to Christ's th au ori y, as King and Head of his Church. Our path is open : all considerations of a worldly kind we have resolved to disregard, and, no longer receiving the advantages of our State connexion, to put ourselves upon the providence of God. Dr. CANDLISI4 after adverting at some length to the proceedings of the Convocation, thus proceeded, Never, my Christian friends, never were the ministers and elders of the Church in less danger of becoming Voluntaries than at this moment. What is the ground on which they have resolved to make a pause—to offer a solemn appeal to the supreme power of the State — to ask what are the conditions and terms of Establish ment? What is the groundbut the fullest and frankest acknowledgment of the jurisdiction of. the Civil Magistrate with respect to the Church, and his duty to establish the Church on right principles and Scrip tural terms. On the other hand, we are accused of assuming a Popish supremacy. We have now de clared that, let who will vindicate the Constitution, it is not the province of the Church to do so. We havel also declared, if these decisions are allowed to stand — are sanctioned by the Legislature—after using all the legitimate means of remonstrance at our disposal, we shall still say that the Constitution is violated—that the Treaty of Union is not observed—that the Act of Security is broken. But we say, after we have exhausted all our legitimate resources of remonstrance and expostulation, it is not the business of the Church to vindicate the Constitution farther. If the Treaty of Union be broken, that is an affair for the nation of Scotland, not for the Church; if the Constitution is violated, that is an affair for the people of Great Britain, but not for the Church of Christ. With a private individual or ordinary corporation, a de cision of the Civil Courts would ,be final ; but the Church of Scotland is neithershe is en titled not to regard the interpretation of such Courts as the final mind of the State. She is entitled to go to the Legislature and say this surely is not your mind—it is not the mind of your fathers—certainly it is not the mind of our fathers ; but, at all events, it is not the mind of God—not the mind of Christ. You are bound to glorify Christ ; now we come and testify to you that if you insist on this unlawful condition, you are not honouring Christ—you are establishing his Church but on terms which he forbids and disowns. But still, while we thus appeal to treaties, to the Constitution, above all, to the Word of God, which the Civil Magistrate is bound to take as the rule of duty as much as we, if, after all, the Legislature should substantially say whatever be your ideas of the Constitution, of the Treaty of Union, of the interpre tation of the Word of the living God, we think these are the only terms on which the State can endow the Church—we think such the' will of God—we the Church then say we have exhausted our legitimate weapons. Our weapons are those of argument—per suasion, expostulation, appeals to the conscience of the State—for the State has its responsibility as wel as the Church. Having done this we have nothing more to do. We cannot take up arias ; for we have not the sword. We cannot refuse obedience, for we are bound to honour the King. We can simply say, that as you, the State, refuse to honour Christ by establishing his Church as free as he wills, we, the Church, will not dis honour Christ by renouncing that freedom where witli he heti' made us free, but neither will we dis obey God by disowning your authority. It is no light matter for us to take up a position on which we must peril our own continuance in the enjoy ment of the advantages which the State affords. But we have been forced into that position. There may be many trials awaiting us. There are, no doubt, influences at work in the Church to put men's prin ciples and sincerity to the test. No doubt the pro bable, though not indeed the immediate vacancies in churches and parishes which we now fill may be turned to account for the purpose of tempting some to let go their integrity. Such is the mfatua. : tion in certain classes of the community just now— such the infatuation of some who should be instructed better, that they think it a great point to gain a vic tory, not by means of reason, but by tempting men's consciences. There is a sad warfare going on at this moment against the consciences of mankind—against the consciences of ministers—attempts not made to argue them out of their opinions, but to lead them astray by holding‘. out inducements to yield. Such victortes will recoil on him who has, gained them; and even; with respect to the objects of these attempts, the victories gained over them must first have the effect of making them untrue to God, and next of making them untrue to their fellow-men. To the members of the Church of Christ I would say the question now raised with respect to the Church of Scotland is a question which admits of no neutrality. When Christ's crown is in peril, whether as King, of his Church or as King of Kings, no man can stand neutral. The last battle is about to be waged. We are entering on our last conflict. The Church of Scotland is called on in these days not only to take up the testimony of our fathers but to complete it. She has not merely re sumed the standard which they resigned only with their blood, but she has resumed it with a fuller motto than ever they had. They contended for Christ's crown and covenant, and their contest for Christ's crown was chiefly for Christ's right to reign HI his own house. We are contending for that, but also for some thing more—for Christ's right to reign over the Civil Magistrate himself. Men now say there is peace. Now, it would appear there is a season of forbear ance and respite. There is a -respite also for the Church of our fathers. Now is the waiting time—not a time for inactivity; but God would have us wait to see his will. Hitherto he has led us by a way we knew not; but if we wait and pray and labour, we know that whoever shall forsake all and follow Christ will have a better portion even in this world and in the world to come life everlasting. When the Rev. Doctor had concluded, a benediction was pronounced and the meeting separated. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. CHRONICLE.—Good wages, with cheapness and abundance of the necessaries of life, are the poor man's right, and they cannot be longer refused. The tariff has done something to give cheaper beef and mutton, and the duties on corn, tea, and sugar must now be placed under the practical influence of the principles of free trade. If tea and silk were im ported largely from China, and exchanged against British manufactures, the demand for labour would be proportionally increased and wages would advance ; but if the price of corn were to be advanced in the same ratio the operatives would be little better than they were before. To give the country the real bene fits of peace with China, the barriers that a fluctua ting duty presents against the free importation of corn must be destroyed. England will set a glorious example by acting on the broadest basis of liberality to other nations as regards intercourse with China ; knowing well that, by enriching others, she will enable them to buy her produce, and so eventually enrich herself. If France and the Germans partici pate iwith us in the China trade, the merchants of these countries will be better able to buy our manu factured goods. They will discover, too, that our merchants can undersell them all in the China waters, and hence they will find from experience that their best policy is to knock down the barriers they have raised against English goods, and that free barter is the only tenable basis to advance the common inte rests of European civilization. The gross amount of our exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures to China in 1834 was of the value of only 842,852/. ; in 1835 it was of the value of 1.074,7081. ; in 1836 it amounted to 1,326,3881.; in 1837 to only 678,3751.; and in 1838 to 1,204,3561. In 1839 our trade was stopped, and we cannot, there fore, for the purposes of calculation, make any quota tions beyond 1838. It is proper to draw attention to the above facts to point out the expediency of prudence in making shipments of goods to the China market. It will be seen from our Trade Report that great ac tivity already exists in the cotton market, and a gene ral demand is, indeed, experienced for all descriptions of low-priced goods. So far good, and this happy change is justified by the change of circumstances which the country now enjoys; but to make the tran sition really permanent, and such as shall bring back sound and lasting prosperity to our trade and manu factures, it is essentially necessary not to overdo the thing at first. If the five markets at the ports of China are glutted with a general assortment of Bri tish goods, before the wants of the Chinese are ascer tained, great losses will be sustained ; and we shall have a rapid rise of prices to be followed with an equally rapid decline. Our merchants and manufac turers should learn wisdom from experience. TIMES.--It is remarked by men of business, whose practical knowledge of the movements of trade entitles them to credit, that a sensible change has al ready taken Place in the appearance of mercantile af fairs. The revived activity of the cotton markets, both here and at Liverpool, strengthens the assertion, while the increase that has occurred in the value of the staple, to the extent, on the average, of about id. to ,d. per pound, with the more cheering ac counts received from the chief of the towns of Lan cashire and the north of England, is also a test of the stimulus likely to be given to our manufacturing in dustry now peace is concluded with China. Simul taneous with the improvement noticed in cotton. the leading drysaltery articles used in manufactures have also advanced, and the prices current show a considerable profit in purchases made within the last week or so. But it is not only in this description of merchandise that activity is re ported, but also in others of general consump tion, which having of late ruled at low prices in consequence of the great depression of trade, are recovering a position by the better spirit evident in the commercial circles, and the increased desire of the merchants to do business. Hardly sufficient time has yet elapsed to allow of the more favourable state of things influencing the Money Market, and hence the discount brokers still complain of the large amount of cash they have at their disposal unemployed. When, however, the full force of enterprise is en couraged by the extended operations of the merchant and shipowner, it is sure to be followed by an ab sorption of capital which will of course have the feet of raising its rate to borrowers. Among th e shipping interest, it is stated that vessels are with the seve - - taken up for a new trade to be opened ral Chinese ports ; and this to a certain, extent i s o a tltb r y; parties are already i n the public announcements -et• id to monopo lise, in ii- bme ca o tetht pa if possible, the chances of loc. ...ra enrolments. Under all the circumstances, 0, .e mercantile classes are regarding with much interest the able in the condition of traci e, e w l 1 1 * tillthe last week, promised not ding , within very satisfactory. No wonder, therefore, can be expressed at the sanguine expectations caused by the bustle now apparent on the chief business walks.

" Having already stated to the Committee the total amount of bonds placed in our hands by the Minister of the Mexican Government, we have only to add thereto that as soon as the conversion shall be com pleted, we shall duly account for the same to the Mexican Government. " With regard to the statement concerning the amount of the Five and Six per Cent.

Mexican stock was violently agitated throughout the hours of business. The market appears to have been entirely subject to the various rumours current respecting the alleged over issue of bonds. The first quotation for the Five per Cents. was 311 to 311, and then followed a fall to 291, which price ruled till fur ther sales were made, and 28q was .tlie quotation. However, as soon as it was known that the correspon dence between Messrs. Lizardi and the Spanish Ame rican Committee was concluded, and the answer of the agents was communicated on the Stock Exchange, an advance to 301 took place. The closing value was 301 to 31. The Deferred Stock stood at 84 to 81 all day. At the first opening of business there was a perfect panic among the dealers, they were fearful of passing the bonds to each other, so that the opera tions which afterwards were conducted were purely speculative. Confidence is not yet absolutely revived, though the higher prices are quoted. The other Stocks in this posture of affairs scarcely attracted any attention.—Times.

His Royal Highness was received by the governor, Mr. Hoskins, and attended by him and the secretary, Mr. Weare, during his inspection of the prison. His Royal Highness having Veen shown the model of the prison, and had it minutely explained to him, visited the cells, about which he was very minute in his inquiries. He particularly questioned the go vernor as to the ventilation, the bedding, and the clothing of the prisoners, the questions very probably being suggested by the brick roof and walls and the stone flooring of the cells. He was answered that the cells would be so ventilated in the winter that the thermometer would never be lower than from 50 to 55 ; that each prisoner would have three blankets as well as sheets, and that he would sleep on a horse hair mattress (in a hammock, as described in the pre ceding article) of 34-lbs. weight. The dress, he was told, is to be plain grey, having a small badge on the breast, marked P. P. O ne o f the mattresses was un rolled, and a hammock slung while his Royal High ness was in the cell. His Royal Highness was par ticularly struck with the peculiarity of what is termed the " tell-tale " attached to the cell—viz., the number of the cell which flies out f rom th e ex ternal wall upon the prisoner turning an iron handle and striking a bell, to apprise the warder that his at tendance is required. It was shown to him that the number when it has sprung out from the wall cannot be returned to its former position by the prisoner, who is thus prevented from annoying the warders by false alarms. The Artesian well of the prison was next visited, and his Royal Highness paid much atten tion and expressed his admiration of the manner in which the water is pumped up to a cistern at the top of the prison, and then supplied to a number of minor cisterns, each cell in fact }laving a separate one. The excellence of the contrivance is that the prisoner can not draw more than his six gallons of water, so that it will be impossible for one to rob another of his due allowance of this necessary article. The kitchen, with its steam-boilers, was then visited, and the mode in which the food is to be conveyed to the prisoners explained. His Royal highness was afterwards con ducted to the chapel, and a row of pews or boxes being filled by the subordinate officers, the manner in which the prisoners are to be shut and bolted in was shown. It was explained to the Archduke that the prisoners would go to chapel, receive secular instruction, and be exercised in the yards daily ; that they would be taught trades, and that a prisoners' library was being formed under the direction of the Rev. Mr. Ralph, the chaplain of the prison. His Royal Highness in quired what trades would be taught? Ile was told mat-making from the cocoa nut, carpentering, tailor ing, weaving, and also coopering, the latter being deemed likely to be highly beneficial to the prisoner, when removed from the prison to a colony. It was mentioned to his Royal Highness, as the understood intention of Government, that the well-behaved pri soner will, after three or four years' imprisonment, be sent to a colony for the remainder of his sentence, and that he will be paid half his wages during the Completion of his term of punishment. It is stated that the French Ambassador, on his visit to the Model Prison about a fortnight slice, with the Countess and his suite, was so much interested in the system, as to say that he should, by his next dispatch, communicate with his Government, and re commend that a Commission be sent over to examine into it, and do all in his power to get it universally adopted in France. BENNETT, THE MURDERER, GLOUCESTER, SATURDAY.--Few occurrences have excited a more painful interest in this quarter than the investigation which terminated in the ec,mmittal of Frances Bennett from Ruardean, in the Forest of Dean, to the County Gaol in this city, to await her trial at the assizes. The circumstances have been stated, and are shortly these :—Frances Bennett, after the death of her husband, by whom she had several children, lived with a man named Yapp, a hauler, the children by marriag e h av i ng gone to l i ve elsewhere. About a month ago Bennett, under the apprehension that she was about to die, made a dis closure to a clergyman, in the presenc e o f severa l per sons, to the effect that she had had six children by Yapp, but none of them had been allowed to live, she having suffocated them immediately after birth. She told where the remains of the bodies would be found. The latest murder, according to the confession of the woman, was perpetrated about Christmas last year, and the spot which she indicated as containing the remains was found on examination to conceal the most perfect skeleton of any. The truth of this horrid conkssion having in this way been placed beyond a doubt, information was, sent to John Cooke, Esq„ one of the County Coroners, who instantly proceeded from Gloucester to Ituardean to institute an investigation. The witnesses examined on the inquest consisted chiefly of the persons to whom the woman had made the confession, including the clergyman who had com municated with the Magistrate on the subject, and the persons who had found the remains of the bodies. In course .of the examination of the clergyman by the Coroner, it came out that he had had a second inter view with the wretched woman, none being present but themselves, and that she had made some addi tional disclosures. The rev. gentleman, however, on the ground that what he was told upon this occasion was mixed up with his " spiritual " duties, refused to communicate any particulars, although pressed to do so . by the Coroner. The woman, moreover, began to deny that she had made any such confession as that sworn to by the witnesses ; but enough had been proved to justify the Jury in returning a verdict of wilful murder against Bennett and her paramour Yapp. The latter was instantly removed to Glouces ter, but the state of Bennett's health was such as to induce the Coroner to delay the order for her removal till it could be effected without danger. On the afternoon of Thursday, - the 17th instant, the miserable woman arrived at the county gaol in a fly, attended by Mr. Bird, a medical man. She was carried up stairs to the hospital, and on being placed on the bed, she said, " Now I will die happy, She died early on Friday morning. This day (Saturday) an inquest was held on the body, before Join). Cooke, Esq., the Coroner, who conducted the investigation at Ruardean. Disease had reduced the body to a perfect skeleton, but the appearance of the features was more pleasing than otherwise. Mr, Cooke, who saw the deceased alive about three weeks ago, re marked that her face had undergone little change. of tfirst n witness ursesatt e a xa ch m ed in t e o d th A e 'as gao Mi l, whoza Gastantedsmtohrae,t one The she was directed to wait upon deceased shortly after her arrival. Deceased often thanked God that she had been removed, and said that she was much hap pier in gaol than at home. The CORO/4ER here stated that a rumour was abroad that the deceased was in the family way, and he asked the witness if she could speak to the point?—The witness stated that she asked the question of deceased, and she stated that she was not. Deceased said that she was only 38 years of age. Maria Nuttal, another nurse, was next examined: She said that she was present when the deceased died on Friday morning, and was with her for some days previous. She asked witness to read and pray to her. Sometimes when she was reading the deceased would say, " Stop ; wait till I'm better," and when she re covered she would ask her to go on. As her death approached she seemed to feel contented. She was sensible to the last. She said that she had been ill for about twelve months. Mr. Ilickes, the surgeon, stated that the complaint of which the deceased died was pulmonary consump tion, and, in his opinion, the removal from Ituardeas had neither injured nor benefited her. She seem e d to be aware that she could survive only for a few days. She mentioned to him and to others that she had been sent to g-aol charged with the murder of her children. The Jury returned a verdict of " Died from natural causes." _ _ _ - irapp, on being told of the d ea th o f Bennett, wept bitterly. The body was buried' by the relatives of the deceased. As to worldly means, the murderers were comfort able. Indeed it is alleged that the only index to their brutal conduct is to be found in the circumstance that Bennett's husband settled his property upon her, hut with the restriction that should she marry again the property was to go to his children. It was the desire to retain the p roperty which probably prevente d her marriage with Y app, and every body one crime leads t o anot h er, knows how SILK AND Sruri HATS.--A writer in the Chemist of this mo n th ts judicial to Cite growth and preservation of the hair, inasmuch I they are made in such a manner as to be st?..tes, that silk hats are extreme l y pre inasmuch y an d th us to preven t the escape of the in sensibi-e perspiration from the head. The writer say' ; _« Men who constantly wear silk hats lose their lvair much sooner than those who adhere to the use of beaver ; and this will explain to many, who have not before been able to account for it, the reason of their becoming prematurely bald, and not unfrequently experiencing very unpleasant sensations about the head. The fact that those who wear silk hats become bald earlier than others, is well known to every one in the hat trade. A traveller for a large firm has been heard to say that he would eat every hair left on the head of a man who had worn a silk hat for ten years ; meaning, of course, that such a person would be completely bald." The use of beaver hats is ac cordingly recommended, as very much superior to those made of silk.
