From articles published in the Trinidad Standard, and other colonial papers, we perceive, with regret, that gloomy apprehensions are entertained by our colonists with regard to the prospects that open to them, in connexion with those reductions of the. duties on foreign free-grown sugar and coffee, which are to take efE.ct in the month of November next. When Mr. Min.Es's proposition for a countervailing reduction on the import duties on our own West India sugars, &e., was under the consideration of the Legislature, we discussed the general policy of the Ministerial measure too largely to render it expe dient for us again to treat of it. But we cannot shut our eyes to the grave consequences of any legislation, however sound in principle, or just to the fair claims of the British consumer, which are to flow from an Act of the Imperial Legis lature in this instance, if the Trinidad Standard be right, to our possessions in the West Indies. The Trinidad journal certainly compresses a very serious dilemma into the following observations:—" Allowing, always, for his, perhaps, not yet established presump tion that, in order to enable our own colonial pro duce to compete in the English and other markets with foreign produce, favoured by these reduced rates of duty, it must absolutely be produced by our planters at a cost considerably lest than that which it now incurs." But here is the dilemma. The cost of production has been already lowered to its minimum, under the existing scale of protecting and discrimi nating duty. Reduce this scale of duty on the competing of foreign produce, and it will require, to realise any profit whatever on the British, that the expense of producing it should be materially lessened. But if the minimum rate of remuneration for which the needful labour can be got, in Trinidad, for example, has been already establish e d and acted upon, any less rate of wages will fail to command that amount of labour without which this produce cannot be raised at all. Again, if under the present minimum rate of wages, the crops realise prices which barely suffice to keep the planters going, a higher scale of wages would so absorb all profit, or rather, so certainly entail the loss of the capital engaged in the transaction, that the lands themselves will be allowed to run out of culti vation. This is shortly the argument of the colonists. The Trinidad Standard says-- "It is to be presumed that hitherto the employers have never given higher wages than they could possibly help—that the rate of wages is reduced t.) the lowest figure to which they could bring it under the existing circumstances of the colony. how the proposed reduc tion of expenditure is to be effected, therefore, we cannot conceive, unless it be made to hinge on the alternative of abandonment of cultivation altogther, or some other co ercive measure. We fear that the painful alternative re ferred to will unhappily force itself upon nut a few from the pressure of circumstances and the total impossibility to withstand the ruinous competition to which they will now be exposed." Now, we agree with the City Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, that " it cannot he supposed that Government would wittingly go the length of converting her MAJESTY'S West India possessions into barren and useless wastes. A due regard for the wel- NE4P 3 , `9t.theliiiiancipatecl blacks is alone sufficient to i / L - 1 S woula portant of these r _ be dismissed without ben , it will be for Government to devib, efficient, extensive, and immediate—for a cont... things the more discouraging, inasmuch as it is thus simply and fairly stated by a journalist resident on the spot. The evil, which is felt to be so near at hand, is the more appalling, inasmuch as it is not to Le treated as if it might prove only a temporary visita tion, and one, therefore, to be endured under some reasonable assurance of being speedily withdrawn. If the cultivation of Trinidad, or any other of these important colonies, be once allowed to run out, and the soil to return to fallow, it is certain, from the ex hausting nature of the crops it has been made, during so many years, and under such powerful and forcing pro cesses, to raise, that a protracted and ruinous interval must elapse before it could be put again in heart, again reclaimed from its original tendency to the rank exuberance of useless vegetation, or again sufficiently cleansed and turned to be fitted for the usual course of its tropical husbandry. These con siderations, too, are wholly irrespective of the enor mous amount of waste, decay, or deterioration of machinery, mills, boiling-houses, &c., &c., from which the enormous capitals now invested in them can reap any returns only through the sustained activity of their operations. The remedy required, as we con ceive, is that which we have so often pressed upon her MAJESTY'S Ministers, the solemn duty of extend ing to our West Indian colonies, without those illi- beral, coarse, nay, fatal drawbacks, which have hitherto formed the subject of complaints at once so well founded and so unnecessary. Let the immigra tion of free labour from any quarters, so that it be efficient, be encouraged, under some plain, unvexa tious, intelligible, system of control and appropriation. Give to the Coolies of Bengal and others, who are tnxious to carry their labour and their industry hither, the amplest and most facile means for doing ,o. To the colonists leave the fullest benefit of that ,narket of coloured free labour, in which, as in all )they markets, competition will determine the legiti- nate wages of labour. The lands will be cultivated, 'he crops raised and collected, prepared and exported )n terms far lower than those which the planters Ire now compelled to provide for, whom we have righteously denuded of all compulsory authority over lrmdial labour, without providing any means, hitherto, commensurate with the deficiency our own act has thus occasioned, of voluntary or emancipated .abour. By giving expansion and protection to some such improved scheme of immigration, we doubt not hat the just interests of the planters might be con sulted and improved, without compromising the title , f the home consumer to cheaper prices ; and without lifringing, by one line's breadth, on that sacred circle of emancipation, which the British Legislature las traced around the expatriated and heretofore enslaved races of negro labourers throughout the vide circuit of her transatlantic possessions. 'We perceive in a recent number of the London liedieal Gazette some sensible observations on the :ernicious tendencies of certain societies (exceed ngly common in the most densely-peopled localities Jf all great towns, but more especially in those which ►re situated within the manufacturing districts), .ailed " Burial Clubs." The scheme of these clubs assures to the parents of an infant child, subscribing from the period of its birth a few pence per week to - he society's funds, a certain large amount in the 'vent of the infant's death, to provide—in nomine ex pensarum—as it were, for its funeral. The rate of the subscription and the amount of the reversionary sum thus assured, vary, of course, with the circum ;tancess of the case, the amount of the latter being letermined, in most cases, by such considerations as whether the subscription was commenced immediately dter the birth, or at a later period, the rate of the weekly premium contributed, &c. But, at any rate, it would seem that where one or both of the parents are in constant employment, they frequently sub scribe to two, three, four, even six different clubs of - his nature. On the death of the child who has been thus " entered " of such associations, the parents may, in this way, become entitled to—and may actually re ceive—sums varying in the aggregate, from 101. to 501. even. Thus in these parents there is created and vested an unnatural money interest in the death of their own offspring. Are the most precious ties of kindred always strong enough to bear and resist the terrible force with which the iron-grasp of avarice, or the gloomy energies of hopeless poverty, will occa sionally attempt to rend them asunder? Here is a lreadful question for their consideration, who devote themselves to the patient study of the causes of great Nimes in combination with great poverty, in town populations. There is no disguising the appalling truth that must form the answer to the question we lave asked. Infanticide, on a scale of fearful magni ude, is the result of this organized, though unin ended, temptation ! Some months ago, in comment ng on the important matters comprised in Mr, CHADWICK'S very interesting Report on the Sanatory Condition of large Towns, we pointed out the evi lence given as to the wilful destruction—the )ositive murder—by processes more or less sum nary, of infant children who have been made the ,hjects of subscription in burial clubs, by parties re •iriing in the cellars of Manchester or Glasgow, and he squalid alleys of many other towns. That Re ,ort was prepared under the instructions of, and eldressed to, the Right Hon. the Home Secretary ; yet, up to this moment, no step (so far as we are ware, at least) has been taken to put down, or yen to subject to the most stringent regulations and ontrol these burial clubs. Nor is this all. The iighest medical authority has confirmed the reports and sanctioned the opinions of Mr. WALKER'S inva uable testimony to the deleterious effects of our pre- Sent system of sepulture on the health (perhaps, dio, on the morals) of thickly populated pities, &c. The crowded and disgraceful condition of nany of our church-yards and burial-grounds, as well ,ome belonging to Dissenting proprietory chapels, as o chapels and churches of the Establishment, after mpregnating the atmosphere with noxious and loathsome vapours, generating virulent fevers, and disse .ninating disease and death wherever the ventilation is mperfect of the street and neighbourhood in which the mtrescent gases are exhaled—compels the parties in erested in the fees upon interments to close their ;rounds, or to become accessories to the offence The authorities thought it necessary to adopt some fresh precautions for the preservation of order, which were continued through the night, but nothing took place in any way to account for this apparent useless demonstration of force. We are without fresh accounts from Morocco. The Tiempo contains a letter from Gibraltar of the 10th, in which the English are openly charged with having prevented the conclusion of peace between France and Morocco. The letter concludes by charg ing England with the intention of seizing upon Tan giers, in order to have an entire command of the Straits. The Gazette publishes a royal decree of the 14th, organizing a naval force for the repression of smuggling. The vessels employed on that duty are to be commanded by officers of the royal navy. The force is to consist of 2 steamers, 6 brigs, 2 schooners, 23 feluccas of the first-class, 6 of the second, 2 log gers, and 29 escampavias. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The journals of Saturday contain the telegraphic dispatches announcing the return of Mz- HEMET ALI to Alexandria, and the victory of Marshal BUGHAUD in Morocco. The following is the form in which these dispatches are given in the two official pipers : " MARSEILLES, Ava. 22, FIVE, P.M. THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF ALGERIA TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " Bivouac of Kondiat Abderrahman, 14th. " Having marched upon the Morocco army, which became daily more strong and menacing to Algeria, I came up with it at two leagues in front of its camp. It assumed the offensive with 20,000 horse at the moment the heath of our columns were crossing the Isly. We were surrounded on all sides. The most complete victory—(interrupted by the mist).' " "ALEXANDRIA, 7xtr. " After some days of irresolution, the VICEROY has renounced his journey to Mecca. He has resumed the conduct of affairs, and his return to Alexandria is announced." The Debats on giving these dispatches says : " Although this dispatch is incomplete, there cannot be the slightest doubt that the most complete victory has crowned the efforts and bravery of Marshal Bugeaud and his army. The height of Kondiat Abderrahman, which was accessible to both parties, is a hill in the front of the camp of Lalla Magrina, halfway to Ouchda, and is the most advanced post on the Algerian frontier. In its front runs a rivulet, called the Oued Isly, which forms a boundary." tgainst society of poisoning the living, by subject ing- them to the fatal influences given out by the corrupting dead. As a middle term —a compromise )f some sort, between their duty to their species, and the claims of their own purses—they permit their ser vants to violate those decent observances which the precepts of education and religion, not less than :he instinctive prejudice of our common nature, con- The Paris papers of Saturday vie with each other in repudiating the correspondence reflecting on the Prince de JOINVILLE and the officers of his squadron, which appeared in the Times of Wednesday, and the Journal des Debats gives the following letter from a French naval officer, in reply the Times' correspon dents : ,pire to make us regard as sacred. Long before the work of decomposition has advanced to that point tt which the buried body is resolved into the dust of its original elements—it is exhumed, chopped up, mutilated, dishonoured, shovelled and thrown about " Certain journals of London publish with a sort of ' satisfaction l e tt ers wr i ten from the Bay of Tangiers by prdended officers of the English navy, present at the bombardment. From the grossness of the language, and the complete ignorance of naval manoeuvres apparent .in every line, it is impossible to recognise the correspon dence of a real naval officer. But since the English press renders the navy of Great Britain responsible for these gratuitous insults thrown on the navy of France, we may be permitted to bring forward in opposition to them letters from our own officers. They will show whether it be true that the Prince de Joinville did not worthily maintain the honour of the tricoloured flag, and whether our crews did not fulfil all the expectations that were formed of their bravery and skill. I quote textually several fragments of letters written by corn rades of mine in the squadron of Morocco. " On the 6th the weather was fine, and a favourable breeze facilitated our manoeuvres. The Prince had pre viously had the channel for our ships buoyed out. From daylight the signal to prepare for action had been flying from the Admiral's ship. The steamers towed the line of-battle ships to their station, about 800 yards from the shore, which was as near as they could be brought an account of the depth of water—indeed, the Suffren during the bombardment had not above five feet water under her keel. The Moors allowed us to take up our position unmolested; indeed, they did not seem to expect we should approach so close, for their shots passed over us. The Suffren had about fifty shots in her hull, but without experiencing much damage. The order was gi‘ en to spare the town, and to point only at the walls, and every shot made the masonry fly about in all three- qnd mixed up with all other masses of undistinguish able mortality—vile and revolting in the general hideousness of its decay, indeed ; but once—and that perhaps recently—organised in all physical beauty, ;nstinct with life and passions, informed by intellect, n.l embodying immortal souls. The relics of mor- tality are thus torn from their last resting place, and thus desecrated by the grave-digger or the sexton, who is so to economise the capacity of the Golgotha which he is the steward, as to find the means of making it swallow up more coffins, although their a ver - accumulatio n has already upheaved the sepulchral a foot or more above the surrounding locality. Let those who may imagine this description to be exaggerated peruse the Commons' Report on the means of preserving the health of towns, &c., the sub sidiary report of Mr. WALKER, or the able article contributed on this shocking but most important subject, about two years ago, by the Weshninster; Review, and the much more recent narratives in our own columns of proceedings at the ground in Por tugal-street.

Now, we cannot help thinking that the practices we :Teak of, as incident to these attempts to keep up the " burying business " in grounds, long since become, and still acting as, pestiferous nuisances to their neighbourhoods, must have a baneful effect upon the moral perceptions, and the natural feelings a those poorer and more hard-faring classes of the labouring community with whom the workmen employed in such outrages to the dead are most likely to come into contact. The finer sympathies which may well subsist, and are so generally found, in the bosoms of the humblest of our fellows, are soonest worn out by collision with more callous natures. A medical eras. titioner, examined before the Committee we have named, remarks " I used often to observe great apathy in a certain class about the death of their children. They did not seem to look on the death of the young as the great evil which it is commonly regarded ; they said, God took care of young children who died ; that their death did not matter much ; that life was full of hardships and misery, and that the child was provided for when it died.' This feeling I found to be rather common."— (3,313, p. 203.) How short an interval, in the mind of a parent thus reasoning, must be interposed between a passive obedience to the decrees of PROVIDENCE, and an impious sacrifice of its manifestation in the gift of life ! The wholesome prejudices that honour, or revere, or respect the memory, and even the ashes of the dead, once extinguished by the coarse example of the prac tices we have hinted at—even the bosom, it seems, of the father or the mother is inaccessible to the claims of helpless infancy upon the most universal affections implanted in all nature. Sordid ava rice expedites, by wilful murder, the term of that infant life, which but for its intervention would have been, perhaps, extended into many years, to accom plish, who shall say, what destinies ? Surely these are crying evils, demanding (as we have ventured on former occasions to urge in the strongest language) the instant and most emphatic interference of the law and its authorities. The one of these evils is, we apprehend, cognisable at common law, (as an offence against the public health), by indictment or otherwise. The other—these burial clubs—as being in the nature, perhaps, of benefit societies—it may be more difficult to deal with. A more specific remedy—by statute, possibly—may be acquired; but that infant murder follows on these burial fund associations, is a con nexion of cause and effect not more palpable to our judgment than that a brutalising demoralisation is consequent on the notorious desecrations of the sanc tuary of the grave, rendered indispensable by the still permitted and disgusting practice of continued inter ments in our over-gorged church-yards and burial grounds. Accounts from Madrid of the 17th inst. state that the most perfect tranquillity prevailed in that capital The Duke of OSSUNA was dangerously ill. The QUEEN arrived at Valencia at four o'clock on the morning of the 15th. The Madrid papers contain no news from Morocco. The Three per Cents. closed at 27 1-16, at sixty days ; the Floating Debt at .594 ; and the Coupons, at 244, at sixty days. Madrid journals and correspondence of the 18th have been received. The Court will return to Madrid on the 20th. The reason which has determined General NAR VARZ to hasten the return of her MAJESTY is not known, and it is con sidered by many that he must have some very pressing cause for so doing, and in hurrying on the Royal party in spite of the fatigue occasioned by the great heat. The following observations on this subject occur in the Courrier Francais : " Frankly, we believe those letters to have been written at London, in the interest of the Cabinet, which imagined nothing better than to sully the glory of our arms, and even of our bravery, in order to diminish the popular emotion which places it in danger. It is either a miserable Ministerial piece of tactics, or a contemptible manifestation of the basest envy. But, whichever it be, it shows the state of public opinion in England with re spect to the cannon-shots fired by our squadron. At all events, we affirm, for the honour of France, that there could not be found a single officer amongst us to insult the bravery of the English, a scribbler to write such vil lanies, or a journal to permit them to appear in its co lumns. No party—not even the war party, which the British press has invented—would have been capable of thus throwing filth in the face of Great Britain. Such is the difference in our code of morals. We hold in equal esteem the black coats of Exeter Hall and the red coats (blue) of the Times." The Constitutionnel observes : " Public opinion in France will be strongly affected by these calumnies. We do not wish to add to the diffi culties of the Government, but it seems to us that no reserve should longer be maintained, and that the dis patches of the Prince de Joinville should at once be published." All the other French papers of every shade of politics comment in equally strong terms on the etters of the Times' correspondent. The Otaheite affair is not yet settled, but it was currently reported on Saturday in Paris, that the ultimatum of the English Government had been re ceived by the French Cabinet on Friday. Its terms were not known. It was believed that M. GUIZOT had refused to recal either Captain BRUAT or M. D'Aumovr, but that he had offered to express the regret of the French Government that the zeal of some of their officers had driven them to do acts which could not be justified. The Revue de Paris gives the following as the plan proposed by the French Government for" the settle ment of the question, and says it has got its informa tion from a good source : "After the exchan g e of several diplomatic notes, M. Guizot has proposed to England the following arrange ment :—That Otaheite shall become a free state, and that France and England shall each of them establish a consul in the island, and that both countries shall be treated' on a footing of perfect equality in regard to commercial advantages that the French squadron shall be recalled, and that the authority of Queen Pomare shall be re-established. With regard to Mr. Pritchard, he shall be at liberty to return to Otaheite as a private individual ; but he is never to be allowed to hold any public functions in the island. We do not know the answer of England to this proposal. All that we can affirm is, that the above is the sense and meaning of the arrangement proposed by M. Guizot." "It appears certain," says the Reforine of Friday, " that Lord Cowley, the British Ambassador, presented two days ago to M. Guizot a more peremptory.note than the former, requiring a reparation from France for the affair of Otaheite, and the immediate recal ofMM. Bruat and d'Aubigny." An article in La Presse, states that "it was not merely in Otaheite that the British mis sionaries were misconducting themselves," and then pro ceeds to detail the occurrences in Western Africa, to which allusion had been made in the House of Commons during the late session of Parliament. The Moniteur states, that " The King having been apprised of the death of the Grand Duchess Alexandria, daughter of the Emperor of Russia, went into mourning for eight days on that day (Saturday)." " The members of the Committee of the French credi tors of Spain had an interview with the Spanish Am bassador on Thursday last. M. Martinez de la Rosa assured them that his Government was most anxious to fulfil its engagement towards its foreign creditors, and that there was every reason to hope that the n ex t omes would devise measures to that effect. The Committee were to wait upon M. Guizot on Saturday. " We have forwarded to Dublin," says the Univers, "the numerous addresses which have reached us from the different parts of France, together with those signed by the Catholics of Paris, expressive of their sympathy for the illustrious prisoner of Richmond (O'Connell.) A respectable clergyman, called by private affairs to the capital of Ireland, kindly offered to take charge of them, and to band to Mr. O'Connell this testimonial of admira tion of Catholic France." The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 21st instant, and the Sud, the Ministerial journal of that city, announce that a telegraphic dispatch was received on the preced ing day, at Toulon, ordering the immediate embarkation of 20,000 men for Algeria. These troops are intended to replace those sent to reinforce the army of Marshal Bu geaud, on the frontier of Morocco. 4, Hussein Bey, son of Mehemet Ali, and Achmet Bey, son of Ibrahim Pacha, have landed at Marseilles with their suite, and taken up their temporary residence at the Hotel d'Orient. "Letters from Toulon state that the greatest activity still prevails in that arsenal and port, and that steam boats have been ordered to Port Vendres to take on board three regiments of cavalry to re-inforce Marshal Bugeaud. They also state that a report was very cur rent of Admiral Parceval Duchesne being ordered to the Morocco coast, and announces as a fact that the In flexible, line-of-battle ship, is ordered to join the Prince's squadron, and that the Ocean, Marengo, and Neptune are ordered to be in readiness for the same service. " The French papers continue to speak with great bitterness of a treaty of commerce which they affirm to have been concluded between Sir Henry Hardinge and the Pacha of Egypt; and they add that the Pacha has accepted of the protection of England They say that by the treaty Engl an d h as acqu i re d t h e r i g h t to ma ke a railway across th e I st h mus of Suez, and to i ntro d u ce her goods into Egypt at a greatly reduced rate of duty. The Refonne of Frid a y st a t es th a t a reinforcement of two compa n i es o f E ng i neers an d a com pany of Ar tillerymen was to be forthwith embarked at Toulon, for the squadron of the Prince DE JOINVILLE. It was stated, on the other hand, that orders were dis patched from the Ministry of War, on Thursday, to ship two additional regiments of Infantry and a regi ment of Lancers for Africa. An article published by the Basle Gazette, of the 19th inst., would indicate that the Valais was on the point of being invaded by volunteers from the neighbouring cantons. " Enlistments to that effect," it says-- " Were making on a large scale in the districts of Aigle and other different points along the lake. At Ouchy two hogsheads full of ball cartridges were embarked for Lower Valais, and concealed in a small tower near the lake. Muskets, purchased at St. Etienne, were also for warded to the same destination. It was reported that the Valais intended to separate from Switzerland and unite with Piedmont." The Journal des Debats7publishes the following letter, dated Posen, the 4th inst. " The chief of the police of the Grand Duchy of Posen, the Aulic Councillor de Valentini, has just been arrested and lodged in solitary confinement. The following are the facts that led to the adoption of this rigorous mea sure, which produced here an extraordinary sensation : Some time ago M. de Valentini received orders from the Minister of Police to arrest a M. Malczewski, a Polish refugee, who was accused by the Government of this country of fomenting di s t ur b ances by the circulation of revolutionary writings. Wh en th e police agents pre sented themselves at the do m i c il e of M. Malczewskt to secure his person, they found th a t he had absconded the night before. They seiz e d hi s p a p e rs, and discovered among them a letter, not signed, in which M. J!dalczewmki tions.Mllgwas never stopped eicep4 td let the Snioke clear away and rectify Our aim.

At the same time we believe, and say so with regret, that all the efforts made by the Governments, and the truly honest and wise men of both countries to maintain peace, will become vain if the most powerful means of acting upon public opinion are to be systematically perverted into instru meats for exciting trouble, hatred, and all the bad pas sions." 1844.

It appears that, on the afternoon of Thursday last, about five o'clock, William New went homo much excited by liquor, and commenced quarrelling with his wife, who is now far advanced in pregnancy. In a fit of passion he struck her a blow in her left side with some sharp instru ment, inflicting a deep wound, about an inch long. The screams of Mrs. New brought in some of her neighbours, upon which her husband effected his escape. Mr. Lomas, a surgeon, of Richmond, was sent for, who examined the wound, and pronounced it to be a flesh-wound, and not dangerous. Lady Fox and family, and Baron Nabuig, were among the passengers that landed at Black wall Pier on Sunday morning, from the General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet Columbine, that left Rotterdam the previous day. The Columbine brought the Dutch mail.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool had a dull appear ance on Saturday, but a fair business was done. Sales 5,000 bales, including 1,400 for export. The sales in Railway Shares were as follows : —Birmingham and Glou cester, 106; Chester and Holyhead, 61; Eastern Coun ties, 114; Grand Junction, New Quarters, 391; Lancas ter and Carlisle, 61 ; Liverpool and Manchester New, 341; London and Birmingham, 222; Ditto 32/.

It will be perceived, from an advertisement in this day's Sun, that the largest sale of foreign provisions yet announced is to take place on the 4th proximo, and the result of which will tend to test more accurately than has hitherto been the case, the real operations of the new tariff, It is a monster sale, and the great object of the importers is to force a home consumption fur American provision, and to remove the prejudice which has hitherto ex isted. A new feature of offering the bulk offered, duty paid, will afford the trade and public generally a better idea of the nature of the provision to be put up to auc tion than has hitherto been the case ; in fact, tho desire on the other side to force sales of provisions generally is so urgent, that the restrictive duty that still exists will be met by the merchants by a corresponding reduc tion in the price on this side—hence the first essay by the sale in question. By the arrival of the London line-of-packet ship Prince Albert, and the Liverpool packet Europe, from New York, papers of the Ist inst. have been received, but they are only one day later than the former accounts, and do not contain any news of importance. Stocks were better. There was very little alteration in quota tions, but that little shows an improvement. No alteration in the rate of exchange is quoted, and not much doing. There is very little going forward in Cotton in New York, or any of the Southern markets. The last erep has nearly all been received and disposed of, but "Jonathan" complains most bitterly that in the experts a large in crease has occurred, while the cash receipts have dimi nished. The Consol Market opened with firmness this morning, the price for the Account being 99, for Money the acme. Now the quotations are i per cent. lower. The Un funded Debt is in demand at 755. premium.

In Spanish Stock not a single bargain has been quoted to-day. The French Three per Cents. have been done at 80. The Dutch Bonds have varied but a ,h4de.

Inquiries were made, and it was ascertained that the handvvriting was that of a bookseller of Posen, M. Zupanski, a native of Greece. The latter denied it at first, but as he declined to do so on oath he was carried to prison. There he confessed having written the letter, but obstinately refused to tell how he knew that an arrest warrant had been issued against M. Malczewski. In the meantime, however, the President of the Administration of the Grand Duchy, having heard that M. de Valentini was very intimate with M. Zupanski, ordered him to be likewise arrested, and he confessed having told M. Zupanski in confidence that he had received the warrant in question. Although M.

" Our infantry, which stood most firmly, and a little lot of our cavalry fought with the utmost bravery. They successively captured all the camps, which covered a space of upwards of a league in extent. " Eleven pieces of artillery, 16 stand of colours, 1,000 to 1,200 tents, among which was that of the Emperor's son, his parasol, the insignia of his com mand, all his personal baggage, a considerable quan tity of warlike stores, and an immense booty, remained in our power. " The enemy left about 800 killed on the field of battle. Our losses, although severe, are light when we consider the importance of the battle, which we will call the battle of Isly." Our Madrid letter of the 19th has the following:— M. Mon has formally disclaimed the intention at tributed to him of pushing his threatened New Three per Cents. into the markets of London, Paris, and Amsterdam. He has given official assurances to the British Minister that the new titulos shall not be issued in a form which would ren der them negotiable abroad, but pledges himself to restrict their operation to the Spanish market by ren dering them payable only at Madrid. The Herald() states that the French had destroyed, in their course towards Larache, all the Moorish towns situate on the coast.
