All these it . iese statements, coupled with the facts ms l a,t have occurred since the disastrous retreat slsia_st.January, serve to prove that the fatalities _ November, December, and January, were ` l ll 7 l .ng,,mor e to the want of talent and energy on _T Part of the British leaders than to the enter rrlse or patriotism of the Affglians.

VIENNA, SEPT. 24.—The Duke and Duchess of Leuchtenberg arrived here the day before yesterday from St. Petersburgh. The Duke went yesterday to Schonbrunn to pay his respects to their Imperial Majesties, and to the Princes now there. His august consort has been unfortunately so ill since her arrival that she is confined to her room. The Duchess of AngoulemQ, accompanied by her niece, arrived here a few days ago from Rirchberg, and proceeded on the 21st to Goritz, the winter‘abode of the Bourbon family. The Duke of Bordeaux is expected at that place very shortly. ST. PETERSBURGII, OCT. I.—Accounts have been received from Pernau, dated 10th Sept. (probably 22d), announcing that the lighthouse in the island of Felsand, which was built this year, had fallen down a few days before, on which account there will be, as formerly, only one light in the second lighthouse. POLISH FRONTIER, SEPT. 30.—We learn from Warsaw that official information has been received there, that the Emperor will arrive in the Polish capital, in the first half of October, and stay there some days. CORONER'S INQUEST.—TIIE LATE FIRE IN BROM , TON-SQUARE.—Wednesday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs, at St. George's Hospital, on the body of Jesse Montague aged two years, who was unfortunately burned to death on Sunday morn ing last, under the circumstances detailed below : Clementina Campbell deposed that she resided at No. 2, Brompton-square. Deceased was her niece, and with her mother had been on a visit at her grand mother's since Friday last. On the evening of Satur day witness retired to rest between nine and ten o'clock. The deceased had been put to bed by her mother about six o'clock, and about ten o'clock wit ness heard her sister cry out, " 0 God, 0 God, my child will he burnt to death." Witness ran out of her room, and saw that the upper part of the house was in flames. The alarm was given, and two policemen came into the house and went up stairs, but were un willing to enter the room and rescue the child. The grandmother of the child rushed in and brought it out. It was taken to a surgeon's, and afterwards brought to the hospital. Deceased's mother made a statement to witness to the effect, that having heard the child cry, she went up stairs and opened the cur tains, but had not held the candle near. She was a most affectionate mother, and was heart-broken at the occu d r e r c e e n a e s ee having.A I rD b a e v e i n s , b r h o o u u g s h e t - house-surgeon, u o r t g h e e o deposednh,ospi hospital tibo u to t the half-past e l even on Saturday night. dying state, a n d li ved only two hours.

The offices are the clerks of enrolment and their deputies, comptrollers of the hamper, six clerks, sworn clerks, and waiting clerks, except as to the recovery of bygone fees, and to certain rights. Th e duties hitherto performed in the offices mentioned are, after the day stated, to be transferred to other persons. The Lord Chancellor is to fix the compensation allow ance to persons whose offices are abolished. Orders are to be made with the sanction of the other equity Judges, or any two of them, and the Lord Chancellor, with such consent, can stay the operation of the Act for a period not exceeding six months. The expenses of the Act are directed to be paid out of the interest arising on the money in the Bank of England. Another Act was passed, which will come into operation on the Ist January next, abolishing certain offices on the revenue side of the Court of Exchequer.

On Monday evening, their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the Ministers of Justice and Public Works, the Neapolitan Ambassador, the Danish and Greek Ministers, the Charge d'Affaires of Spain, Marshal Duke de Reggio, and Lieut.-Gene rals Pajol, Jacqueminot, and Darriule. M. Humboldt, it is stated, who has lately arrived at Eu, has come to France on a diplomatic mission. There appears to be an increase in the number of bankrupts within the department of the Seine. In August there were 62 declarations of bankruptcy, and last month there were 73, being eight more than in September, 1841 ; but, with -the exception of an Insurance Company, and the Company of the Vaude ville, the bankruptcy of whi c h was lately dOclared, the list is composed of small traders in Paris and the Banlieue. • The King of the Belgians has just authorised the L immediate establishment of a system of primary in ' struction throughout the kingdom, including religion, , reading, writing, the system of weights and Inca , sures, the first rules of arithmetic, in some cases French, Flemish, or German. A normal school is also to be established in each arrondissement, in order to furnish teachers to the primary schools, in which the course of instruction is to include French and Flemish, or, in place of the latter, German, arith metic, drawing and surveying, music, gymnastics, geography, and history. On Sunday, before the races commenced at Chan tilly, Messrs. de Rothschild, Laflitte, Latour du Pin, and other sporting men, subscribed a purse of 300 f. for Cootes, the pedestrian, provided he accomplished in 30 minutes, to run once round th e race course —l eap over 40 hurdles (4 feet 3 inches high), and pick up, his hands tied, 50 eggs one yard apart, with his mouth, placing each in a basket, without breaking any. e performed the whole in 28 minutes. Accounts from Constantinople of the l7th ult., state that an extraordinary movement was observed during the last ten days in the offices of the Porte and in the principal embassies. So much activity in di plomatical relations had not, in fact, been witnessed since 1840. Notes were daily handed in by some or other of the Ambassadors ; extraordinary councils were held; private interviews took place with the Minister for Foreign Affairs ; and finally, on the 15th, there was a grand conference at the country seat of Sarim Effendi, at which were present Riza Pacha, Pacha, Tahir Pacha; and Sarfet Effendi; the first interpreter of the Divan and the Representatives of the five Allied Courts, accompanied by a secretary and the first dragoman f each legation. The meet. ing, which had been convened at two o'clock, lasted until eight in the evening, and was said to have been very animated. The discussion turned on the affairs of Lebanon, but, from what had transpired, the assem bly must have broken up without coming to any defi nite decision. PIM LIC OPINION. We take the following from the Chronicle :—" It is somewhat amusing to see the Tory Government lauded as taking vigorous measures for the suppres sion of Chartism, after Whig tolerance bad allowed it to grow to a formidable head. When a purpose is to be answered, facts are forgotten with wonderful fa cility. Peaceable Chartistism is no offence : it is not a thing to be crushed by prosecutions or persecutions. ' And the Chartism that relied on violence as its agency had succumbed under Whig Administration ; net only before the Tories possessed themselves of th e Govern ment, but while they were, from time to time, frater nizing with these very Chartists to embarrass their common political opponents. That is the plain state of the case. Toryism finds, on com ing into power, its old ally crippled and effete ; and begins to trample upon it with loud reproaches on its predecessors for their tolerance. We shall see which method is the most successful. We believe, however, th a t th e w i se an d ki ndly yet efficient course, pursued by the late Government, has so extensively dispelled the illusion of establishing the Charter by force, that even Toryism will not goad the multitude into any great suicidal outbreak. They will bear much, now that their eyes are opened on that point. Thei will even endure to be warned that the commemoration of a massacre may be an offence, though there was no crime in its perpetration. Still it is well to try them as gently as possible, and we would fain hope that those who have not disdained to pirate. certain lessons of national economy from their predecessors, may also, in time, abstract a few maxims from their political system." The following remarks on the present state of feel ing in France towards England, are from the Herald : —" Not content with refusing to allow their Sove reign to ratify a treaty which his representative had originated and concluded, the French are resolved that their Government shall not implement treaties which have been ratified ; and though they will not take any active measure to put down the slave trade, they would prevent any attempt on the part of Eng land to suppress that horrible crime. This mania, or frenzy, is a melancholy exhibition for so grea t an d fine a people as the french to make. England is their mad subject, and when the fit is on them . , Eu rope may some day feel the want of str a it jackets capacious enough to restrain the freaks and antics of temporary lunacy in nations. Scarcely a French mer chantman that returns from Africa which does not throw them into a fit of delirium ; every skipper in their African trade, regardless of how hard a thing it is to write,' can positively, by spelling a letter to a provincial paper, dement his fellow-citizens ; and every foolish complaint, every tale of hardship or affront from that coast, is quite enough to set all. France in a blaze. Their statistical return show that French commerce with Western Africa is rapidly extending, yet do they believe any idle bouycer or ig norant journalist who tells themit is disappearing; their Government is endeavouring to form new settle ments on that coast; yet do they perversely close their eyes to those they have; their merchants have mono polised the African gum at the expense of England, yet do they give ample credence to every stupid story about the d ec li ne o f their trade ; th eir cruisers have a perfect r i g ht t o sea rch every En g l is h s h i p i n those seas, having a suspicious appearance, and yet do they exclaim against a one-sided right of search. There is, in truth, no reasoning with the French press on this subject, its absurdities are so gr ea t an d its prejudices so inveterate." The Times has the following comments on the an nouncement of the London bankers to shut up their counting-houses every day at four o'clock :—" The London bankers, it appears, are tired of eeping their counting-houses open till five o'clock, and meditate cutting an hour a day from their period of business. The weakly constitutions of the present day are un able to cope with that amount of labour on which our fathers flourished, and by the steady perseverance in which English commerce has become what it is. We must be allowed to say that we rather understand than admire their sudden objection to hard work. None would be more ready than ourselves to advo cate a diminution of the labour of those whose powers we really believed to be overtaxed. Any feasible pro ject for shortening the duration of that long and weary ing bodily labour to which the labouring classes are too generally condemned, would command, if not our sober approval, at least our best wishes for success. We might think the means chosen for effecting this reform vi, sionary and unpractical ; but we should understand A and respect the feeling from which the attempt arose. The effort., unsuccessful as it might be, would be ac counted for and justified by the facts. Not so, how ever, the bankers' reform. We confess we cannot see that eight hours of such work as a banker and his clerks are condemned to are so grievous and un bearable a tax on man, whose lot is to labour. Tedious and uninteresting it very likely is ; so are many things which we are all obliged to do ; but when we remember the 12, 13, or 14 hours' confine ment to which the tradesman is compelled to submit, when we remember the length of time which the agriculturist, the manufacturer, and the practising lawyer are obliged to devote to their vocations, we cannot discover the justice of that urgent claim for remission which is now put forward by one class of gentlemen concerned in business." The Post says :—" If the authorities quoted by the Anti-Corn-law League are to be taken as absolute authorities, in the face of which no man may maintain an opposite opinion, then, indeed, Liberalism is triumphant, and we may fold our arms in despair. But we deny that the case is so, and we must take the liberty of adding, that if all who ought to speak their r ld tm Vice-Presidentol lengths ie:ngt audacitypchtl uh s e sir w ll to i so t oweoLh l feti Liberalism ehh b e oe e rdi r fati a Alcii t isa i anhtn o steo n i fp.nßatcrehneovosedaeri Anti-Corn-law ewi v ard odm r ‘foN a e,ut .gre h iaoanhd a .gi a d esu: deeei If t n agioo e tnoupdan s gune o ohis , f) the hhst teer: o answer the purpose of British landowners to state firmly that they are not disposed to do anything in fur therance of the poli c y o f t h e League, but, on the con trary, will steadily resist that policy, no matter by whom it may be wholly or partially supported. The Morn ing Chronicle, in- its easy way, assumes that, under existing c i rcumstances, the policy of legislative pro tection against the competition of foreign labour may be considered to be virtually at an end. If the country be prepared to acquiesce in the interpretation put upon Ministerial declarations by the Anti-Corn law League, and to yield to the policy which these declarations are understood to embody, we do not see that the assumption of our Contemporary could be said to be unfounded. And if our labourers are really to have no protection from continental competition save what the cost of conveying continental produc tions to British markets may afford, what is to become "of the labourers? It is notorious that they have to pay a much higher taxation than the continental la- , bourers, and the; afore if they were reduced to the same level of remuneration they could . nbt live so 'well." DZONE Y — TRELDE—COMMERCE. The working classes of Carlisle, as we stated the other week, have formed themselves into parties for the purpose of purchasing and slaughtering sheep for their own use. The plan is now rapidly extending, and they are enabled to eat their mutton at a com paratively low price. The total number of passengers conveyed by the railway during the three days of Croydon Fair amounted to 15,000 persons. A large meeting of the General Council of the Metropolitan Chartists took place last night at their hall in the Old Bailey, for the purpose of agreeing as to the course which the Chartists, as a body, had best pursue, in connexion with the efforts at present mak ing by Government, to put down public discussion, by Government prosecutions. It was resolved "That the secretaries present give in their names and resi dences, in order that they might be communicated with and brought together on any case of emergency, and at a moment's notice." The appointment of " class investigators" for visiting,and reporting on the state of the localities was moved, but withdrawn. E CCLESIASTICAL. A bazaar was held on Wednesday and Thursday at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, for the pur pose of making a sale'to supply the existing deficiency for the completion of the new Church of St. Mary's, Southwark, how' building in the Old Kent-road.

William Bell was charged at Queen-square, with having committed upwards of seventy cases of fraud upon tradesmen, varying in value from 41. to 101. He was ordered to be brought up again in a week, for the attendance of other tradesmen. Yesterday • fifteen robust men, inmates of the Bethnal-green wor kh ouse ; were charged at Worship street, with refractory conduct, and refusing to do the work assigned. They were committed to the tread mill for twenty-one days. Eliza and Car o li ne Foster were charged at Ken sington, on suspicion of having stolen a valuable ring. The prisoners were remanded for further inquiry to be made. Edmund Still, a seaman, summoned Captain Robin son, the master of the ship Orbit, from Quebec, to show cause why he refused payment of his wages. It appeared that it was frequently the custom of seamen to go to Quebec, for the special purpose when there of deserting, and exacting very high wages. This, the prisoner had done, and a clause inserted in his articles was quoted to show that he had broken them. Such a proceeding, however, was shown to be at variance with the existing Act, under which the Magistrate decided that the wages must be paid. COURT--FASBIONABLE.

Faulkner and Mason, grocers, against the defendant, who is a horse-dealer, residing at 6, Wilton-street, Grosvenor place, for the recovery of the sum of 121. Os. 6d. for grocery, supplied to the defendant within the last nine months. The defendant allowed judgment to go by default, and the Jury, after evidence had been given of the delivery of the goods, assessed the da mages at the amount claimed-121. Os. 6d. STRANGE V. BLAGROVE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a sur geon, against the defendant, who is a musical gentle man, residing in North-street, Portland-place, for the recovery of the sum of 6/. 9s. for medicine and attend ance supplied to the defendant. Since the action was brought the defendant had paid the amount claimed, and a nominal verdict, therefore, was taken by the plaintiff of one shilling. CRIPS V. CITAMISERLAIN. This was an undefended action, by which the plain tiff sought to recover from the defendant a sum of 19 guineas. It appeared that the plaintiff was a whole sale Tuscan and straw hat manufacturer, and the de fendant, Mrs. Chamberlain, who carried on a retail business in the same line, was a customer of his. Several dealings had taken place between them, and at the present moment there was nearly 301. due to the plaintiff; he had, however, confined his claim to 19 guineas, in order to bring the amount within the jur;sdiction of that Court. The Jury, after evidence had . been given of the amount of the goods, and their delivery, gave a ver dict for the whole amount claimed. ROGERS AND °TITERS V. COYLE. This action was also undefended. The plaintiffs are veterinary surgeons, and the defendant a gentle man of fashion frequenting the clubs at the West-end. The action was brought to recover the sum of 15/. Os. 6d. for medicine and attendance. Several witnesses were called, who proved the deli very of the medicine and the attendance of the plain tiff upon the defendant's horses. A veterinary surgeon deposed that all the charges were most reasonable, and the Jury returned a verdict for the whole amount claimed. The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning with undefended actions on bills of exchange that possessed no feature of interest. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) SMITH V. PRATT. This was an action to recover the sum of 161. upon a bill of exchange. The bill was produced in Court, and the defendant pleaded that he did not accept the bill, which was a forgery. Mr. John Shiels stated that he had been connected with the Westminster Loan Society in Adam-street. He called upon the defendant, who admitted that the signature to the bill was his handwriting. Mr. Charles Kerry Nichols, the late manager of the Adam-street Loan Society, stated that he went with the last witness to the defendant, and he then admitted that the bill was signed by him. The insti tution with which he was connected had failed, as any other institution might. Mr. Westwood addressed the Jury, and said his client knew no more about the bill than the Learned Judge. He had, however, no witness to call. The Learned UNDER-SijERIPP then summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. NSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.) IN RE JAMES STEWART. This case afforded a painful instance of the pressure of the law upon the poor man. The insolvent was described as a labourer. He had been arrested in the month of March last for a debt which originally amounted to IL IBs., but, after adopting the cheapest possible means of rendering him amenable, had been swelled up to 4/. 45., and upon the decree of the Manor Court, gained at an expense nearly equal to treble the original debt, was cast into King ston gaol, where he remained until this day, living during the intermediate period upon about 4/. He was now enabled to appear upon his petition to be dis charged, through the intervention of the Association for the Relief of Pauper Insolvent Debtors. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS remarked that this was another painful proof of the delay and expense inci dent to the recovery of small debts. The poor man had been now almost seven months in prison for a very small debt, and he should, therefore, order his dis charge forthwith. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.--(THIS IJAY.) A respectably attired young man named Adolphus Stone, who has been several times brought up at this Court for similar offences, was charged with brutally and wantonly assaulting Sarah Rudd on the 3d inst. The prisoner has been remanded three or four times upon the Doctor's certificate that it would be at the peril of her life if the complainant were moved. The prosecutor, who appeared to be labouring under very great suffering from pains in the neck and chest, and whose face and head exhibited marks of the most brutal ill-usage, stated that on the 3d inst., about twelve o'clock in the evening, she was proceeding along St. Martin's-lane, in company with her sister and a Mrs. Royal. They had all been to fetch their supper beer. They were laughing together when some female passed them, and applying a disgusting epithet to them, asked them what they were laughing at. Mrs. Royal was about to reply, when the complainant told her to come on and have no words with her. Just at that time the prisoner and another man came up ; the girl before mentioned said something to him, and he at once advanced close to the side of the prosecutrix, and struck her a blow upon the eye, so violent that it felled her to the ground in an instant, and blackened both her eyes. IVitness immediately became quite senseless, and remembered nothing further till she came to her senses at eight o'clock on the following morning, when she found h erse lf at home in bed, with severe bruises all over her head and body. She was not conscious of having been struck by, the prisoner whilst on the ground, but she had been in the greatest pain awl agony ever since, and had vomitted a great dea of blood, &c. She never saw the prisoner to her know ledge previous to the night of the assault. Mary Royal, a married woman, residing at No. 3, Goodwin's-court, St. Martin's-lane, corroborated the testimony of the prosecutrix. The certificate of the doctor stated that the life of the prosecutrix was.not yet out of danger, and in con sequence Mr. Twyford remanded the prisoner again till Tuesday. FUNERAL OF THE MARQUIS WELLESLEY. The mortal remains of the late Marquis Wellesley were removed this morning from Kingston House, Knightsbridge, to Eton College. Notwithstanding the early hour (six o'clock) at which the funeral took place, a great number of persons had assembled to witness the solemn spectacle, many of whom followed as .far as Kensington. The funeral was in every sense of the word strictly private, the noble relations of the deceased Marquis did not follow, but his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Wellington, Earls of Morning ton and Westmoreland, the Marquis of Douro, Lord Lyndhurst, the Rev. Mr. Wellesley. and Sir R. Peel, will join the procession at the entrance of the College. At half-past seven o'clock the remains of the de ceased Nobleman, inclosed in three coffins, were placed in the hearse; the inner coffin, which contains the body, is made of oak, and lined throughout with white satin, the middle one is of lead of extraordinary thickness, and the outer, or state coffin, is manufac tured of the best Spanish mahogany, covered with rich crimson Genoa velvet, thickly studded with gilt na il s , gilt handles and ornaments ; at the head of the coffin is a coronet, and on each side are the armorial bearings of the house of Wellesley and Mornington ; the plate bears the following inscription—" Richard Colley Wellesley, Marquis Wellesley, K.G., &c., &c., born 20th June, 1760, died 26th September, 1842, in the 83d year of his age." The pall has the arms of the deceased nobleman richly emblazoned on each side. The funeral procession passed through Colnbrook and Slough, direct to Eton, where it will be joined by the noble relatives and immediate friends of the deceased, who will accompany it to the Election-hall, where the remains will lie in state this evening, and to-morrow be deposited in the vault in which Dr. Goodall reposes. No person will be admitted except the relatives and friends of the deceased, and the authorities and students of the College.

A narrative of intense in terest is associated with other qualities ; pathos, ten derness, humour, playfulness, and grace ; a correct description of the habits and manners at the period when the adventures take place is interwoven in the narrative in the happiest manner; and it po ssesses besides other essentials, which combined will add in creased popularity even to the pen of Mr. Maxwell.erself off Doncager Gazette.

CITY, TIIIIRRZI AT • EVENING. TI\IES.—The proposition for liMiting the hours of business at the City banking-houses to...four-instead of , five o'clock, is the less liked the more. iVis.considere/ by the trading community in general. .31anv per sons think the present limit sufficientiv hard upon those, undoubtedly a numerous class, who require he greatest exertion up to the latest moment to provide ter their acceptances, and sustain their credit; and. the agitation of this- subject relives the. discussion, frequently raised in the City in periods of. pecuniary difficulty; whether, in point of fact, the adherence by the bailers to the hours' which custom has intro duced for the regulation of payments could be legally sustained, and whether they are not liable, like al other debtors, to the consequences of a refusal,to pay at whatever period of the day the demand : may be made. This is probably an erroneous notion, the universal custom in this case acquiring,. the, force of w ; but it is nevertheless true, we believe, that it is not rigidly adhered to by the bankers in vene rid, provided that the time is not materially en• croach4upon, and that some ,urgent. necessity for the payment is shown to exist. In illustration of this part of the subject, an old and well known anecdote in the City i 3 repeated of the conse quences of a too critical enforcement of the rule by one of the wealthiest bankers of that: period. A draught, of some importance to the holder, was 'pre sented as the clock was striking five, and refused as out of time. the party who was proceeding on a journey to the Continent, and to whom the possession of the money was indispensable, reported this refusal, and the cause assigned for it, to the merchant Who had paid him the draught, and who hapened to be the head or nearly so of th e London capstalists. lie instantly repaired in person to the b anking-house i n question, and presenting a dra ug ht f or the balance of his account, which he had previously drain out, de manded instant payment, with the threat, if refused, of publication the next morning in all the papers that the house had stopped. It was thought prudent to pay- the money, and the account was removed to another house on the day following. Another incident, also well known is menti one d o f a no bl e ma n w h o p resented a large draught at one of the banker's at the west-end of the town a few minutes before nine o'cloek, but was refused payment until the clock had - struck. This, however, was of less consequence, as th e d a y was all before him, and the utility even to the public of limiting the hour for the commencement of busi ness is obvious, as many draughts frauclulently,ob tamped, or erroneously drawn, hare been stopped by that limitation. Nor can any persons now complain of the long-established rule of ceasing to pay at five o'clock in the afternoon, which is so universally known- that an instance could very rarely indeed occur of any person suffering by it, unless through his own fault. But a new limit a ti on to f our o ' clock, or even earlier, for innovation once begun, there is no saying where it is. to stop, is a very different matter, and might be attended with the most serious consequences to - a large class of persons engaged in trade. On the whole, for these and other reasons, it is not likely that the propositi on w ill b e persevered in. It is understood that the Bank Directors, who have. been strongly pressed to lend their sanction to this measure, have determined on remaining neuter, though they would yield to any joint representation of the banking and trading interest which proved a general desire to existfor its adoption. Of this there is little prospect; as to the foreign merchants it would be a decided in conveniense on at least two days of the week, and the system of day m a il s recent l y b rought into use renders the hour from four to five still more important to all commercial men extensively engaged in business. As to the regulation of time at the Stock Ex change, that rests upon different grounds, and may be settled by the members themselves in the way they deem best calculated to promote their own interests.. Under the'present stagnation of business, a shutting of the house an hour sooner would probably be of no importance whatever; but as they have to make rules applicable to all times and seasons,. they would have to consider whether the only effect of a further limi tation of time during a political crisis might not be that of extending the gambling out of doors, in the alley itself, which, under the present limitation, is al ready so objectionable. The funds are governed in their value by political events, and the arrivals have become so much more frequent, as well as later in the day, since railroads have been brought into •use, com pared with the old system of mails, that many large commissions dependent on the fluctuations of pace, might be left undone, or executed at a disadvantage' to the principal. Thus one of the most valid objections to an alteration in banking hours will apply with nearly equal force to the Stock Exchange. SUN.—The prices of the Funds were flat until; us' previously to the close of the business, -- when it stated that a pigeon express had arrived, bririgingia telligence from India. It is reported that a movemen was about to be made upon Caubul, and, from certain circumstances, with every prospect of success, not only for .recovering the captives, but al.so for re-as serting our power in that quarter ; and that more places had fallen to our arms in China. Although this mode of communication is viewed with so much suspicion, and is scarcely ever credited, Consols ad vanced to 93 934 for Money, 93i- A3l and for the. Account; India Stock, 248 250; Exchequer Bills, Old, .5.153; New, 50 52 premium. The prices of Foreign Securities were firm.

The accounts of the proceedings of Santa Anna have had an unfavourable effect upon the quotations for Mexican Bonds, which have declined' to 321 33. The alteration in the prices of the shares was but trifling, the market generally being good. London and Birmingham were 182 184; Great Western, 82 83 ; the Ilalf shares, 59f 60; Birmingham and Gloucester, 38 40; south Western, 57i .58+ ; North Midland, 56 58 ; the New shares, 271 28 ; South Eastern and Dover, 22f 2;3 ; Eastern Counties, 9 ; Northern and Eastern, 35 36 ; Black wall, 6f 7 ; anti Brightons, 36 36* per share. The Bonds were thus quoted—Colombian, 20k 21 ; Peruvian, 15; 16i ; Portuguese FiVe per Cents., 36 36} ; the Three per Cents., 21+ 21:1 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 16 164 ; the Three per Cents., 201- 204. The Indigo Market has exhibited a greater degree of activity than is usual just previously to the com mencement of a periodical sale. The large quantity of 15,000 chests will be offered for sale :this October, and, consequently, the intelligence from -India is looked forward to with rather increased anxiety, in order to guide both buyers and sellers in their ope rations. The last accounts left the probable extent of the forthcoming crop somewhat in doubt, a considerable difference existing between several of the calculations. The effect of this uncertainty has also been felt in France, and consequently must mate rially influence the amount of orders transmitted for exportation at the approaching auctions. The number of buyers from the manufacturing districts who have arrived to the "show" has exceeded a fair average; and this fact, coupled with the extensive purchases of wool at the sales which have lately ter minated, have led, to the expectation that the accounts of an improvement in the woollen trade wns It incorrect.
