These calculations exclude minute fractional quantities. It should seem that with the guarantee proposed, which renders the stock equally secure with any portion of the national debt, and at the present low rates of in terest with the abundance of unemployed capital, these debentures should command such a rate as would equalise them with the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, that is 1151. per 100/. stock. The bills drawn and to be drawn from Canada on account of the whole loan, together with the rather heavy amount periodically drawn by the commissa riat of the forces there, will afford, to the extent, a useful supply of bills on England to the New York market, where probably a large proportion is and Will be negotiated. In such case they may have a favourable effect in raising the exchanges there. The bills drawn on the Treasury here, on commissariat account, are stated to have amounted to about 130,000/. in one month a short while ago—probably, however, covering a quarter's charges. SUN.—No alteration occurred this afternoon in the tone of the English market, and business was dull. Consols were 93i to 94 for the opening, and 944, with the dividend, for Money ; Exchequer Bills improved to 525. and 545. premium, and India Bonds were firm at 475. premium ; Bank Stock touched 173 i again ; Reduced Three-and-A-Half per Cents. were supported at 1001 to 101; and the Three per Cents. at 94i to 94k. Speculation in the Foreign Market is very dull just now, and there is, consequently, not much fluc tuation in prices. The news from Spain had a fa vourable effect upon the Stock, but did not make it brisk. The Actives were 18k, and the Three per Cents., 23+ to /. The interest on the. latter is re ported to be entirely made up. Mexican Bonds were steady at 31, and Brazilian were heavy at 69. French Three per Cents. were at 79f. 25c.; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52i. Business in the Share Market was steady to-day, the rates obtained being generally firm.

MEMORIAL OF THE CONVOCATION: The late: " Convocation " of Non-Intrusion mi • nisters have forwarded a Memorial for the considera tion of Sir Robert Peel and the other Members of the Government. The following is the most important portipn of it : " The memorialists desire again to express their anxiety that their present appeal, and the measures they have felt themselves obliged to adopt, may not be misunderstood. The deliberate conviction to which they have come—that if they cannot have liberty to maintain and act upon the principles which they have avowed, in the position of a church established by the State, they must relinquish that position, is not the result of disappointment or irritation, or any want of a due regard to the important benefits which the present establishment of the Church confers upon the people of Scotland. On the contrary,'such .;.1 their sense of the value of that establishment, such their apprehension of the many evils likely to result from its disruption or overthrow, and such, also, their anx iety to remain in the discharge of their spiritual duties, in the preaching of the Gospel, and the oversight of their parishes, under the shade of that national pro tection and favour, which was the happy fruit of the prayers, the labours, and the sufferings of their fa thers, that they have been willing to make the ut most possible concessions with a view to the restora tion of harmony; and, were not the principles at issue vital and fundamental, there is no compromise to which they would not consent, no sacrifice of feeling or even of consistency to which they would not sub mit, if by any means they might avert a calamity, the very idea of which they have all along been most re luctant to entertain.

Passing the favourite and Murat with the single remark that they were backed for nearly 100/. each at last week's prices, we may point to the altered positions of Winesour and Blackdrop ; the latter was backed heavily at 40 to 1, ltnd in one quarter at 1,000 to 30 ; this of course operated to the prejudice of Winesour, against whom 1,000 to 30 was laid once (a fall of sixteen points), and 30 to 1 afterwards offered repeatedly. The Progress colt opened at 30 to 1, and advanced to 25 to 1, taken to 100 L . Aristides was also in greater favour, first at 33 to 1, taken frequently, and finally at 28 to 1, taken to nearly 1001.

The hour fixed for the performance of the match was two o'clock, but long before the time not less than 5,000 persons had assembled. At half- past two precisely, the men ap peared at the starting-post, accompanied by their backers, when Mr. Dean, the landlord of the Fish mongers' Arms, Lewisham-road, gave the signal for starting, and both men went off at a topping pace, which was kept up throughout the distance ; the " North Star" heading his man by about seven yards, which he kept up to the end of the race, frequently turning to his opponent with an invitation to " come ahead " if he could, and won with perfect ease. The distance was performed in five minutes and ten seconds. It was quite apparent that the winner could have accomplished the distance in much less time had he been pressed. It was " a race-horse to an old hunter." The heath was like liyde-park on a review day. At the close of the race there could not have been less than 8,000 per sons from Greenwich and Woolwich, Deptford, Lee, Eltham, and all the other points adjacent; and it was the opinion of the best informed persons that there never were so many people assembled on Blackheath theon anyr road, d which vas wa o ssom rhe men ewhath ra eav n y, in in t he e o nse middle u e n c o e f of the wet. The equipages were very numerous, consisting of gigs, phaetons, tax-carts, job carriages, saddle-horses, &c. The road was kept in admirable order, and no police were on the spot to mar the sport. Bets were even at starting, but immediately after changed to 6 and 8 to 4 on the North Star. North Star is a fine-looking y oung man, sft. 10in., and Gazley is Mt. Bin. G az l ey looked pale, and not in his usually fine condition. There was a very large sprinkle of the sporting gentlemen from London, who returned to town highly delighted with the result of the sport, having carried off considerable sums won from the Kentish folks. " But they feel that the time is zonie when the final determination of this question can be postponed no longer, and as they cannot disguise from themselves, so neither would they deem it right to conceal from the Government and the country, the inevitable result of a continued refusal, on the part of the Legislature, of that indispensable measure of relief which they think they have a good right to ask, and good reason to expect. Their situation, in truth, is most painful and embarrassing. They cannot con duct the affairs of the Church in the manner in which the civil courts have prescribed ; they could not themselves remain in the communion of a Church which should agree to regulate her procedure accord ing to the principles now held to be involved in the civil law; nor can they allow others, in the same com munion, to do so. But it is well known that a large minority of the Church's office-bearers are prepared, in obedience to the civil courts, to cast off her autho • rity ; and were the Church, while continuing to claim the advantages secured to her by law, to perse vere, as she must in principle do, in maintaini ng h er discipline over all wh o , un d er whatever civil sanction or compulsion, transgress her orders an d v i o l a t e h er laws, founded, as she believes, on the word of God, not only would she be exposed to grievous obloquy and reproach, but a spectacle both painful and scan dalous must in all probability be exhibited of two sec tions of the same Church striving with one another in the use of civil pains on the one hand and spiri tual censures on the other. Hitherto, notwithstand ing the allegations of her enemies to the contrary, the Church has never felt herself compelled to in flict the severities of her discipline on any of her ministers or members for an act done under the compulsion of her civil courts, or in obedience to what has been declared to be the civil law. She has proceeded against none, excepting the few individuals who of their own accord, and without any plea of necessity, have placed themselves in a position of defiance of authority. Even this, however, has led to unseemly consequencei“ and after the final decision of the Supreme Civil Court, affirming the principles upon which not a few of her office-bearers have intimated their determination to act, it is plain that if no legislative relief be conceded, and if the Church proceed, according to her own views of duty, against those who transgress her rules, she has no alternative but to deal forth the censures of ecclesias- tical power, in a manner that must provoke retalia tion, and must necessarily lead to inextricable confu sion and disorder. The memorialists are not ashamed to confess that they shrink from such an exhibition as would thus be presented before the people of Scot land ; and this is one practical consideration, among others, which has weighed much in determining them to bring this whole question to a final - issue, and to retire from their position, as connected with the es tablishment, rather than prolong an unseemly contest with the civil courts, which deny, and with their own brethren, who set at nought, their jurisdiction contest which could not fail to be attended with most disastrous consequences, affecting both the majesty of law and the higher interests of religion. "But the memorialists have stated other grounds on which chiefly they rest their determination, as matter of Christian duty and sound principle. It has been with extreme pain that they have felt themselves compelled to oppose the civil courts in any of the decisions which they have pronounced. They have done so only because their consciences required it, and because they considered that the constitution of the Church, as established by law, sanctioned and au thorised the measures which they adopted. They are still most decidedly of the same opinion. But as they claim for the Church no right of resistance to the civil magistrate, in the exercise of his authority, as determining the terms on which he will establish the Church, so they feel that if the Government and Legislature of the country do not interfere for their relief from the condition to which they are now re duced by the Supreme Civil Court—viz. the condi tion of subjection in things spiritual] to civil control —it is not for them, as servants of that LORD whose kingdom is not of this world, to vindicate the consti tution further ; they can only protest, .with all solem nity, against the wrong which they believe the Church has sustained, and leave with the rulers of this nation, and with the nation itself, the responsibility of allow ingo fs t o h o i t s l a national e i in t b i % t . u e r t i t o o n d of ao d t h o e v E o r s t t h a b r o l i w s h o e . d Church PHINEAS•QUIDDY, BY JOHN POOLE, ESQ, AUTHOR OF " PAUL PRY."—This is a book that will bear half a-dozen perusals. Notwithstanding the high reputa tion for wit, humour, and satirical acumen, enjoyed by Mr. Poole, there is none of his previous produc tions that has done more than give a promise of what he has now accomplished. It is by many degrees the most true, as well as the most entertaining, of all his works. A contemporary critic has compared the principal character in this admirable novel, Phineas Quiddy himself, to Quilp in "Master Humphrey's Clock," and has given the preference to the former, perhaps not without reason, if we look to the moral effect of a picture of this nature. In fact, Quilp sinuses and makes us laugh, not at him but with him; and we never thoroughly dislike the being who does this, even though he rival the arch fiend himself in mischief. But the laugh that Phineas Quiddy is per petually raising is always et his own expense, and leaves us at full liberty to hate him as much as we ought. Moreover, the poetical justice that is done to him all through his career of " sheer industry," is so heaped up, as it proceeds, and so overflows the mea sure at last, that the picture is as healthy as it is en tertaining.—Naval and Military Gazette. PRINTERS ALMS-HOUSE FUND.—An amatuer vocal concert in aid of the funds for erecting. alms-houses for poor and decayed members of the printing profes sion, was given last evening in the Theatre o f th e Mechanics Institution, Southampton-buildings. It was well attended, and the manner in which it was conducted reflects great credit upon all engag e d i n it, and, we hope, that with the aid of the public patron age being liberally extended to it, the Society will soon be enabled to attain the object they have in view. " In conclusion, the memorialists beg leave very respectfully to remind her Majesty's Government of the obligation under which States anditheir rulers lie to Him by whom kings reign and princes decree jus tice—whose cause they are bound to espouse, and whose tosupp C or liu ti r o cl a i l i l t t i h s e al f i r k e e ed the om ir i N n vi t t e h res l t yl a li i e ld their h hehas dut . 3 , en dowed it. The memorialists deeply feel the solemnity of the question now submitted to the decision of Par liament and of the nation ; it being, in the th opinion of Ni th ,h e et m he e r mo ti r l i e al c is i t i s u , reh no u th n i a n l g tora le h s slr t e h s Scot land is to be preserved inviolate, accord e g i faith of treaties, or whether . this great kin , t a a n blished in dn q ogm u . t e o s i question h o t o n e commit, as the memorialists would regard it, the heinous national offence of . not only breaking . - the na tional faith, but of disowning the authority of Christ in his own house, and refusing to recognise Ills Church as a free spiritual society, instituted by Him, and go verned by his laws alone. " The memorialists now leave the whole subject in the hands of her Majesty's Government, uniting in most earnest prayers to Almighty God that fie may direct the counsels of her Majesty to that conclusion which shall most conduce to the good of the country, and to His own glory. " Signed in the name and by the authority of the assembled ministers, " THOMAS CHALMERS, D.D., " Chairman of the meeting." CHARGES AGAINST ALDERMAN WOOD.—The Corn mittee of Aldermen met again on Saturday, to pur sue the inquiry i n t o th e c h arges aga i nst M r. Alderman Thomas Wood. A letter was read from the Alder man, declining t o comp l y w i t h t h e reso l ut i on th a t h e should furnish the charges against himself, as well as the answers. He was ready to meet any tangible charge instantly, and to produce all the affidavits, papers, and books relating to the Talacre Mine. A passage implying that the Court of Aldermen had re fused to elect him Mayor on account of those charges, the Chairman warmly denied that any one had made any charge, or that Mr. Alderman Wood had a right to ask the reason of each man's vote. As no Alder man would assume the post of accuser, and Mr. Alder men Wood refused to accuse himself, the Chairman proposed to apply to the Court of Aldermen for fresh instructions. Sir Peter Laurie proposed to accept the offer in the letter of the affidavits. Mr. Alderman Wood did not see how he could do this, if there was no charge. None were so closely looked after as soli citors. Merchants and others could commit nefarious acts, and indulge in fraudulent speculations, with im punity. Sir Peter Laurie said, if he was Alderman Wood, he would not stand for forms, but go at once into the matter, and sell the coat off his back to trounce the traducers. He moved that the papers be received. This was, after some discussion, agreed to, and the papers were ordered to be printed. BARMOUTIL—The antlers of a large and powerful elk have been found in the b e d of the river Movvd deck, at a very low tide. They measure from tip to tip rather more than eight feet two inches, and art. attached to the skull so as to indicate their nattr.al position.—Carnarvon Herald. - ADELPHI THEATRE. A new three-act drama, by Mr. Coyne, entifirri the Merchant and his Clerks, was produced at this theatre last evening. Mr. Harford (Mr Maynard), a London merchant, has two clerks, dward Mapleton (Mr. Lyon), a virtuous clerk, and Hugh Bramber (Mr. 0. Smith), a vicious one. Now melo-dramatic virtuous clerks are always very vir tuous indeed, and have always the greatest possible confidence reposed in them in the first act, which they always forfeit in the second, through no fault of their own, but through an unfortunate train of (Arnim , stances ; and so it is here, for in the first act 41r. ' Harford leaves town for a few days, entrusting Mapleton with 10,0001. to take care of for him durii,s his absence-(of course Mr. Harford had no banker ) 1 —which 10,0001. on his return can nowhere be found, and accordingly he accuses Mapleton of the robbery,who goes mad the instant he hears the accusation. He be comes an inmate of Bedlam, and in the third act we are introduced into the interior of Bedlam : this scene, in which, in the character of Flitter (Mr. Wieland), an attempt is made to convert that most awful of all the visitations of Providence, madness, into a source of mirth, of burlesque, of broad farce, is most disgusting. The audience loudly expzi ssed their disapprobation of it, and we trust the management will have the good sense to cut out the part of Flitteralto gether. A certain Doctor Wilton recommends that Mapleton shall be taken back to the counting-house, and everything be put as it was on the night the notes were lost, and the piece ends with a Marie-Ducange like scene. Mapleton enters in a state of somnam bulism, goes to the safe, takes certain notes out, and deposits them under the board of the floor, where the lost notes ofcourse, are found; he wakes and finds his innocence acknowledged, while 13ramber, the vicious clerk, having fixed upon that night to rob his master's counting-house, is caught in the fact, and de livered into the custody of his quondam friend, Mr. Dognose (Mr. P. Bedford), who, having been high wayman, thief, and smasher, finishes his career as a Bow -street runner. The low comedy of the piece, which is by far the best part of it, was excellently sup ported by Paul Bedford, as the above-named Dognose, and 'Wright, as Kit Cockles, a linen-draper's appren tice, whom Dognose is initiating into genteel society, and who, havinz run through his money, and married I Betty Briggs (Mrs.. Grattan), a maid of all work at a lodging-house, takes, not to the stage, but to the street, and, in a spangled jacket, as Herr Stick ankickinbriphitz, assisted by his lady as Signora Soff risky, earns a comfortable living as a juggler and tum bler, and, as he himself calls it, as a Professor of 'lan key-Pan k ey. The. piece was announced for repe tition every night by Lyon, amidst considerable ap plause. The house was, as usual, crowded. NEW THEATRE, MARYLEBONE. Last night a new theatre was Opened for the first time, in Church-Street, Marylebone, in the immediate vicinity of Portman market. It is a most commodious building, and is capable of containing between two thousand and three thousand persons. The interior is fitted up with great regard to convenience, and much taste has been displayed in the general decora tion of the house ; indeed we consider it to be as ele gant and as unique a theatre, for its size, as any within the metropolis. The doors were scarcely opened be fore the house was crowded in every part, and the audience in the boxes displayed a class of persons whose attendance gave to the establishment a tone of respectability which must hereafter have a most be neficial effect upon it. Amongst the company that have been engaged we noticed several names that speak well for the species of entertainments that will be furnished to the visitors at this theatre.—Mr. Os baldeston, Miss Vincent, Mr. B. Rayner, Mr. T. Lee, the Irish comedian, Mr. Collins, the vocalist, Mr. Cobham, &c. &c. &c., are amongst those announced to make their appearance at an early period ' • in deed, Mr. Rayner supp or t e d th e c h aracter of Lu bin, in Passion and Repentance, in the course of the evening. The performance commenced with a grand historical drama entitled The Saxon Maid; or the Days of William the Conqueror. It is one of those pieces in which there are a tyrant Early an unknown Knight, a lost child, a lovely maid, and all the et cetera of the regular and well-established romantic spectacle. It was well sustained by the several per sons engaged in it. Mr. Freer, as the Unknown Knight, drew down unbounded applause from the gallery. Miss Thornton as a Page, played and sang with considerable effect. A new farce entitled Tea with my Aunt, followed. It is an agreeable trifle. The entertainments concluded with the petite drama of Love's Frailties, under the name of Passion and Re pentance, in which Mr. Rayner - sustained his original part of Luhin with unabated vigour and success ; but it would be superfluous at the present day to offer any comment on his performance of the character, as it is perfectly well known to every play-goer.. lit had, however, to contend, with a heroine (Small), who might have bad a tittle more juvenile appearance. Is it, however, judicious to bring this gentleman for ward only in the last piece, and that at so late an hour that the attention of the audience is wearied before he appears ? We think the managers would best consult their own interests by altering this ar rangement. THE WESTERN LITERARY INSTITU PION. _ _ A very interesting lecture " On the Scriptural History of Sacred Music and the Practice of Psalmody" was delivered the other evening, by Mr. Netherelipt, at the Theatre of the Western Literary and Scientific Institution, Leicester-square. The theatre was crowded to excess. The lecturer proceeded to observe, that music being coeval with man, it ought to be made one of the chief points of his education, and if it were universally understood, it would be the means of pre venting a great deal of wickedness, for, as " Music bath charms to soothe the savage breast," so might it be made available in many ways, and more especially in our prisons. H e s h owe d t o the satisfaction of his audience, who testified their approval by frequent applause, that the great cause of the wretchedness of the singing in most of our churches was mainly owing to the " shyness" of the female part of the congregation, and incompetent teachers of music to the children, and in the course of his lecture suggested that every parish should appoint com petent persons to teach the congregation, either e a c s te e d xpres. ; from at the church or some other convenie n t p l ace on par ticular evenings. The illustrati ons o f t h e lecture, ex. s h i i v b e it o i n f g v a therivarious light devotionalan d shadefee feelings, werepsalmody, s the " Twenty-four Psalms and Hymns , " composed by the lecturer, and dedicated to the Bishop of London, and were very ably sung by an choir efficient to the accompaniment of the organ. A short time since a lecture on the " music of Shakspeare's plays" was delivered e •at this theatre by Mr. Rimbault, with illustrations, &c. • and in noticing these lectures it is but d • • • ()mg justice to say a few words in favour of the society by whom they are given, the " St. Martin's Subscription Library" connection with that founded by Archbishop Tenni son), in Castle-street, Leicester-square, and which,. by the exertions of a few individuals, inhabitants of the parish, has been rescued from oblivion. By ap peals to the inhabitants generally, which were most liberally responded to, sufficient funds have been raised to renovate and improve the building, and to form a subscription library. The Rev. Sir Henry Dukenfield, Bart., the vicar, consented to act as President, and, with others, largely contributed many volumes of modern scienti fic, historical, and biographical works, and donations in money. The library rooms are now well supplied with newspapers and all the best periodicals, to which any one resident or employed in the parish can have access, by paying annually the small subscription of los. 6d., being less than any other institution of the kind in the metropolis. The present number of mem bers is upwards of 500. The title by which the round for the erection of the library was held fe,r the vestry, shows that the library was for the My, o f the public. It is as follows :—" Dr. Thomas Te• an i., son having considered that, in the city and libe',•ty of Westminster, there are great numbers of ministers and other studious persons ; as also that there is not in the said precinct any one shop of a stationer fully fur nished with books of various learning, nor and noted librarie except that of St. James (which belongs to his Majesty, and is not easy of access); th a t of Sir Robert Cotton (which cons i steth chiefly of boo's re lating to the antiquities of Englar,d), and the - library of the Dean and Chapter of St. Peter's Church, Westminster," &c. The library contains between five and six thousand volumes upon all subjects, but prin pally upon theoltigy and amongst them are many valuable manuscripts. The library is deposited in a new building pear the church . A . _ few eve nings since Lord Bridport's keepf,rs, at Monckton Wylde, were disturbed from thei:e sleep by hearing noises in the adjoining copses; 0 , , going to the spot, there were no less than eight poachers, seven of whom had fire-arms, and one of them V, tremendous bludgeon. A. conflict immediatell,- ensued, and guns were fired, the report of which '. nought three of the neighbours, Copp, Collier, and.CSalter to the assistance of the Ri c h mon d s (th e garr, e k ee p e rsi, but they were soon overpowered, and Collier was so dreadfully beaten on the head, °,, e : as to have been nearly kill e d.

SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.—The New Hebrides, in cluding the islands discovered by Captain Bligh in 1789, are situated between lat. 13 deg. 15 min. and 20 deg. 5 min. S., and long. 166 deg. 40 see. and 170 deg. E. The largest of the whole is Tierra del Espiritu Santo, which was first made known by Quiros in the year 1606. It extends more than seventy miles from north-west to south-east, with an average breadth of twenty-five. Farther south is Mallicollo, which is more than sixty miles long, and about twenty-eight broad, having a good harbour, called Port Sandwich, near its southern extremity. Erromango is fully eighty miles in circumference, and Tanna, which . lies at no great distance, is com puted to be at least twenty in length. In the latter, a volcano exists in a state of great activity ; and, in deed, most of the cluster appear to have had their origin in the action of subterraneous fire. Hence the peculiar form of the islands which rise into lofty hills, and even mountains of great elevation. The valleys and level tracts along the coast are extremely fertile, displaying an immense profusion of vegetable riches. It is said, that more than forty different kinds of treos and plants are cultivated. The banana, sugar cane, yam, arum, batata, and curcuma, are Frown with great care in fields regularly divided. the cocoa nut, bread 'fruit, the cabbage-tree, figs, almonds, and oranges, are common. Bamboos, pepper, and mastic, are abundant, and the nutmeg-tree also frequently occurs. The usual domestic animals are reared, es pecially the pig, hogs, and a variety of fowls. The inhabitants belong to the race of Australian negroes, who alSo occupy part of the Fijee Islands ; but, judging by their agriculture, it must be admitted that they have made farther advances in civilisation than any other of the kindred tribes.—Edinburgh Cabinet Libiwry, , No. XXXII].

F A CTS and OBSERVATIONS relative to a Successful Mode of TREATING PILES, Fistula, Hemorrhoidal Excrescences, Tumours, and Strictures, WITH OUT CUTTING or CONFINEMENT ; illustrated with numerous Cases. Being a familiar Exposition of the Practice of S. J. VAN BUTCHELL, Surgeon-Accoucheur. " This volume presents to us a number of illustrations of his singular success under circumstances that would have induced despair in any professor of less mastery, or less accustomed to accomplish cures where cures seem impossible. The statements here made are most convincing, and place beyond doubt the superiority of the treatment to which he refers."—Court Journal. " It is very rarely our practice to advert to books on proles• sional subjects; but the Facts and Observations' appear, by their practical and unpretending character, to indicate so easy and prompt a relief from a large class of most painful and die. tressing diseases, that we believe this word of commendation from us, which we give with much sincerity, will not be thought misplaced or without its use."—Examiner. " The author appears to have had long experience, extensive practice, and great success, in the treatment of hemorrhoidal affections, the result of which is here published in a brief form, and in language intelligible to the least scientific reader."— Morning Advertiser. " From a perusal of this work it will be at once seen that the author displays a knowledge adequate to the task he has un dertaken. Mr. Van Betchell altogether discards the use of the knife, and, judging from the cases recorded, success has almost universally accrued from the plan substituted." —Weekly Chronicle. Published by 11.

LONDON, TUESDAY E N X G S N g DECEMBER 13, 1842. PRICE sd. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PA.FERS OR THIS DAY. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The announcement of the Canada loan, which was inserted in the Times of to-day, was also posted up at the Stock Exchange, according to cus tom, and copies were sent to the Bank of England. The members were not in the least taken by surprise, as since the passing of the Act by which the loan is authorised, the appearance of such an announcement has been almost daily expected. The time of such appearance is generally admitted to be remarkably \yell chosen. At the present low rate of money any thing like a profitable investment, guaranteed by the British Government, will probably be caught at with avidity, and the present stock, which bears 4 per cent. interest, will at the price of 106 yield about 3i. Hence, though the price that will be tendered is merely a matter of conjecture, it is believed that the tenders will range tolerably high. But, besides the abundance of unemployed capital, there is another cause for supposing that the present time is particu larly opportune for bringing forward a stock bearing a high rate of interest. This is the belief which pretty generally prevails, that a reduction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents, is contemplated by the Government. Should such a measure take place, the Canadian Four per Cents., which will not be redeem able till twenty years have elapsed, will be the only Government stock in the market commanding an in terest above 3 per cent. The fear of a fluctuation in the value of money, which might render it just as scarce as it now is plentiful, will, it is believed, be the only check on the eagerness with which the new loan will be sought. The sum to be raised not exceeding 300,0001., it is thought no disadvantage will arise by making the loan an open one, instead of disposing of it by contract, though had it been for a large amount difficulties might have arisen. According to the advertisement, the bonds repre senting the loan will be " redeemable" in twenty years. The capitalists, who are regarding the value of the stock as a banking investment, observe that there is a little ambiguity in this expression, us it does not point out whether it shall be obligatory or optional on the part of the Government to redeem at the end of the specified time. Mauritius papers to the 3d of September have ar rived in the city. These allude to the issue of one dollar notes, rendered necessary, it appears, by the absorption of specie by the banks, and other unfore seen circumstances which have contracted the cur rency of the island. The calling in of part of the coinage had added to the serious inconvenience of the mercantile community, who bad made serious com plaints on the subject to the Government, who at last consented that this new paper circulation should be brought into vogue to give greater facilities for the transaction of business. There is little else in these papers worth notice. An Order in Council had been published advising proper regulations for the import of Coolie labour into the colony. To the merchants here it is stated, as a matter of fact worth knowing, that though in th e new s y s t em ill of business which has sprung up the market, two and three month s ' credit is allowed buyers, they still receive as heretofore the rates of discount, varying from six to ten per cent. It is said there would be no great deal done if these deductions were not conceded ; and that, therefore, to keep business alive it is sub mitted to. The prospects of Spain, in a financial point of view, are manifesting some improvement. By letters of the 2d instant, received this morning. from. Madrid, it appears that the money for the payment of the divi dends on the stock of the capitalised coupons of the Five per Cents. was sent forward the day before to London. A competition has arisen in Madrid for the quicksilver contract, the produce of the celebrated mines of Almaden, in regard to which the Minister has shown himself regardless of all private influence, in consequence of which the Government is likely' to obtain much better terms than heretofore. The project for conducting the sale of the quicksilver through the B an k o f S an F ernan do having gone off on some point of form connected with the rules of that institution, a tender is said to have been put in direct to Senor Calatrava by the Messrs. Rothschild, with a very considerable advance on their last contract, and this had been followed by a proposal on the part of some London capitalists, by an agent now in Madrid, of still better terms. This latter had intimated his readiness to bid at the public auction, to which the Minister of Finance is bound to submit the produce of these mines, as high as 65 dollars the quintal, and for the whole net produce for the ensuing seven years, which it is supposed will not be less than 140,000 quintals ; and further (which constitutes the great novelty of this proposal), to pay for the whole in hard cash, as follows :-40,000/. in six days after the Mi nister accepts the proposition, and 60,0001. after the auction has been announced by public advertisement; further, if successful at the auction, he undertakes to pay 900,0001. more in twelve monthly instalments. He also engages to pay to the mining establishment at Almaden during the seven years of the contract 560,0001., to provide the necessary funds for the working of the mines, and the transport of the quick silver to Seville, making in all 1,560,0001. to be ad vanced in hard cash. As soon as his advances have been equalised by the delivery of the quicksilver, he is to pay for each new quantity in eight days after its delivery,,at Seville. No doubt can exist, with the possibility of placing her on the fo o ti n g of other civi vhieh Spain possesses, of the of credit, and the main thing vast ed natural countr i es resources n point now required for that purpose is the organisation of a steady and powerful Government, calculated to attract and to retain public confidence. Inquiries are constantly making by Correspondents respecting the transactions of the Committee of South American Bondholders, and more especially what they are doing in regard to Buenos Ayres and Peru, States which obtained their loans on very high terms, during the height of the loan mania in this country, who got all their funds, moreover, regularly remitted to them, and received them at a time when they were of the most essential service. As to both of these pay is of the most c S l t e a u t r e s , a t u h d e evidence t o o r f y n ability atur e t . o In the instance of Bueno3 Ayres, it is established by official documents published by that Government, and which have been already referred to ; and in the case of Peru, though not exactly supported by similar evidence, the wealth and natural resources of the country are notoriously much greater than Buenos Ayres, while in both the debt to this country amounts to a very insignificant sum indeed, viz., Buenos Ayres, 1,000,000/.; Peru, 1 , 80 0,0001., with arrears of interest of 16 or 17 years. The successful issue to which the arrangements with the comparatively poor state of Chili have been brought should certainly sti mulate the Committee to increase their exertions with Buenos Ayres and Peru, since they ma y fairly hope that the example of Chili, without using arguments of a more cogent kind, would shame them into an act of common honesty, leaving gratitude entirely out of the question. For the reinstatement of Chilian credit the creditors are mainly indebted , we believe, to the continued exertions, during several years, of the house which contracted the loan , in pointing out the justice to Eng same result, if the same means are used with the privileges, or oth erw i se , de pendent on the character and credi t of advantage lish claims as; and well it t s honestyis bu t r o e f us d u o l i l r a ig bl e to expect the other States.

Speculations were naturally afloat about the rates at which this small loan would be tendered for. The market rate of Three-and-a - Half per Cents. Reduced to-day was 101, which establishes a eurrent rate of interest at rather less than 31 per cent. These Cana dian debentures should perhaps be considered as a more advantageous investment, because of the security against redemption or conversion for 20 years to come. On the other hand, being a stock small in gross amount, but large in respect for each debe n t ure , say 5001., the d e be n tures may be less easy of circulation and sale on occasion. It is supposed in some quarters that the tenders may run as high as ~«~~ LADY BULWER'S NEW WORK.
