FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1844. INTELLIGENCE FROM INIYIA AND CHINA. Account.; have been received from Bombay of the 17th of September, being twenty days later than by the last arrival, and from China to the 29th of July. Tne papers possess little interest. In Sinde some skirmishes had taken place, but they were of a very trifling character. Captain MACKENZIE had beer. successful in an attack upon some marauding Be looches • _ . Advices from Cabul mention that an engage• mmt had taken place on the 2d August between ACK BAB KIIAN and AUBDOOL SUMMUND, in which the former came off the victor, capturing among his prisoners two generals of the enemy. The loss on the side of the pe.)ple of Cabul was estimated at 3,000, while that of the enemy was statel to be 5,000, besides prisoners. The papers announce the death of Lieutenant. .MAcwiNTosit, late Aide-de-Camp to Lord ELLEN BOROUGH, and subsequently in charge of the Mysore. princes. The gallant officer died from the effects of fever. - - Accounts from China state that disturbances had . again taken place at Canton. The English last year repaired the walls of the Company's garden, ' which had been broken down at the fire in 1842. They put on a gate, and were in the habit of walking, playing at quoits, and otherwise amusing themselves. On the 15th of July the Chinese endeavoured to force themselves into the garden, but were opposed. Upon this they threw brickbats, and broke down the gate, • compJling the Englishmen to take refuge in a boat, in which they made their escape to the Con sulate. On the following evening a party of Chinese went armcl with brickbat, and attempted , to take possession of - the other garden. Resistant • being offered, they commenced an indiscriminate attack upon all the foreigners who came within their reach. Several American gentlemen immediately ! armed-themselves, and drove them from the front of factories. Still continuing to throw brickbats, they were fired upon, and one man killed, and an • ether wounded in the ". , rm, which ended the affair for the day. The Fngli.hani American Consuls applied to the Chinese authoriti es ' for a sufficient force to pro • tect the factories, and a message was sent to the Atm - • rican man-of-war at the Bog lie to req ues t ass i stance. Intelligence of the 21st informs us that no further rioting had taken place, nor was any likely to occur - at present. At Calcutta money was in great abundance. Government securities had risen, in consequence, a •• de Five per Cent. New Loan had changed hands at • 10 per cent. premium. Exchange was heavy, at ii. 101 s., or a small fraction above, at ten months' date. Commereial matters in China were dull. Cotton .yarn continued depressed, as before. The iron market rHE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1844. was over supplied. Opium was firm, being supported by the smallness of the supply. In rice prices had given way. In tea very little doing. The second and third crops are said to have been destroyed by the late rains. Rates of Exchange on London, at six months' sight, 4s. 3d. per dollar ; Governmerit bills, at thirty days' sight, 4s. 10d., in little request. Freight to London and Liverpool, 3/. per ton of fifty feet. The Hindostan arrived at Suez on the 24th of September, with a considerable cargo of silk goods, and about fifty passengers ; she sailed from Calcutta on the 18th of September. less factions and intrigues which every year were concocted, as if for the very purpose of proving that Spaniards had no real conception either of liberty or patriotism, and that they could be kept down only by the iron hand of despotism. These are the real causes of the apathy of Englishmen, and many years will elapse before the words " Spanish patriots," " Spanish liberty," and " Spanish credit," be even mentioned in England but with contempt and de rision. In all the phases of constitutional as well as des potic government, one deplorable proof of debasement stood out pre-eminent, a fixed determination to skulk from the payment of just debts. Money borrowed under one regime was disowned by the next, and even during the brief period of constitutional government, no rational plan for meeting the claims of public creditors was ever seriously entertained. Schemes in abund ance were hatched, promises of the most flattering description were held out, and every now and then some celebrated financier or money-jobber, and occa sionally a Spanish grandee, the richest of course in all Spain, were announced as on their way toEngl and to do justice at last to the public creditor and restore Spanish finances to a flourishing condition. Eng lishmen, however, were not to be taken in a tenth time; they justly regarded these schemes as swindling tricks, sanctioned, too, by the Government, and they have at last rather generally come to the conclusion, that on the other side of the Pyrenees, promises, pa triotism, and public faith, are words without meaning. Every day brings with it, to our mind, increasing confirmation of the apprehensions we have not ceased to express with regard to the operation of the Premier's Bill for the so-called "Regulation" of the Currency—from its first announcement. We have very lately endeavoured to urge upon the serious at tention of our readers the growing disproportion between the circulation which the supporters of the measure have assumed to be sufficient for the enormous transactions of our home and foreign trade, the ordiney other demands of social inter course, &c.—and the new and multiplying channels through which the energy of speculation is now en deavouring to diffuse our hitherto undeveloped capi tal. The immense works connected with railway lines, whether perfected, in progress, or still uncom menced, appear to be the favourite directions into which that capital is tending. And there is nothing wonderful in this fact. At a time when the financial policy of the Government has reduced the interest of the public debt so extensively, and on so many classes of Government securities, it is natural that they who have money to invest (especially when the sums to be invested are but small ones) should prefer those concerns which, by the daily lists of the share and money market, appear to yield the best returns. Thus, the extraordinary premiums of from 75 to 100 per cent. now paying on original shares of the three most powerful railroad associations, operate as a direct inducement with persons whose limited capital renders them more anxious to secure a large interest for it, in the shape of share divi dends, than considerate of the disadvantageous—be cause exorbitant—terms, on which they invest their principal. The very facts that recommend such in ve,tments to their selection ought, in a prudential view of the matter, to operate with them to select other lines, shares in which can he obtained at the far more modest premium of some 2 or 3 per cent., which is commensurate with their smaller scale or more limited revenue It is, however, quite indis putable that this preference for the shares command ing such extraordinary premiums is, prima facie, justified by the confidence and patronage bestowed on them by the public ; the grand and even magni ficent system on which they are administered ; and the vast and permanent market they furnish for cer tain descriptions of our industrial and mechanic labour. No such considerations can fairly be predi cated of those immense railway lines on the Conti nent, executed, or in course of execution, by English contractors, however profitably they may have re munerated, or may promise to remunerate, their undertakers. In these latter instances, it is too gene rally the case that there is a vast efflux from this country of British capital, subscribed by British shareholders, which is rapidly absorbed by the wages of foreign labour, expended in foreign countries, and but slowly and disproportionately returned to the limited number of individuals here who are benefited as iron-masters or constructors of locomotive ma chinery. The return through the contractors them selves will probably be slowest of all. They will have but little capital to remit and invest at home, pending the construction of works which must de mand, until they be completed, the almost entire de votion of their time and means, either in the per sonal discharge of their contracts, or the personal supervision of those who execute them, on the spot. Let the amount of British capital thus diverted, or locked up, or impounded, as it were, from British circulation, and carried off in bullion, or exchanged against it, on the Continent, be taken into account, together with the demands of the new forty railway lines just now candidates for public approval and sanction, and what will be the extent of the conse quences that must ensue upon any groundless panic, Or other possible event, that may have the effect of producing a temporary depression and discourage ment of railway stock ? We tremble to contemplate it. The day, however, will come, when the pres sure from this single source alone—on a currency which is committed to the disorganising action of a standard cheap price of gold, irrespective of its scarcity or abundance, and the effect of either of those conditions on the prices of all other commodi ties ;—when this pressure, we say, will be felt in tremendous force. The last week's return of the Bank stock of gold and silver bullion showed a formidable decline in quantity, as compared with its amount a week or two after the passing of the Bank Charter Renewal Bill, of something like four mil lions sterling. And again, the price of gold does not appear to fall at Hamburgh or Paris in the propor tion which might have been theoretically anticipated from the large exports of silver within the last ten days to Rotterdam, Hamburgh, and other foreign ports. The truth seems to be, that, notwithstanding the apparent improvement which has been taking place in the general aspect of our trade for some time past—the causes are already at work which will pre cipitate the testing of those disastrous fallacies in the Premier's currency policy that %re fraught with ulti mate ruin to the whole industrial classes of this coun try; to that very commerce, the interests of which the infatuated Premier supposes he is upholding by his Bill of pains and penalties against the better re presentation and more easy transfer of property or capital ; and to all the legitimate markets of trade or employment in which it ought to have been his aim and his gratification to secure to the honest artisan or labourer " a fair day's wage for a full day's work." Instead of this, he has done his best to crush and keep down wages ; to lower prices to the standard at which cheap gold would keep them ; and by that means to throw upon the overburdened shoulders of the famishing operative producer, and the agricul tural labourer, three-fourths of all the immense amount of indirect taxation levied in the United Kingdom! Madrid journals of the 23d have been received. Troops had been marched in different directions, and rumours of insurrections were prevalent. The capital, however, was tranquil, and NARVAEZ was evidently prepared for any outbreak. So long as he can pay the troops—and he will stick at nothing, not even forced levies, for that purpose—he will keep down the people. Should the military chest, however, became exhausted, he will find the Prwtorian cohorts throw him off, as they threw off their favourite General, ESPARTERO. The only news in the papers is the announcement that a comedy by MARTINEZ DE LA Rosa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, entitled The Daughter at Home, and the Mother at a Ball, was about to be performed at the Madrid Lyceum. Upon the Madrid Exchange of the 23d instant the Three per Cents. were at :254 for' ready money, and at 26+ at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. were not noted. The Paris journals are chiefly occupied with the affairs of Spain, the Liberal journals, in general, denouncing the new Reform Bill, while the Ministe rial Globe and the CHRISTINA Presse speak of it in terms of praise. But if we are to believe one of the Republican organs, the National, that Bill is a mere farce compared with the conditions to be imposed upon the Spanish nation by his Holiness the POPE and the QUEEN - MOTHER. The new compact has been furnished to that journal by its correspondent at Madrid. Possibly it may be founded on fact, but as it appears in no other journal, and we have no means of judging whether it is entitled to credit, we give it without comment from the National. " The Papal bull," says the writer, " arrived at Madrid on the 10th of October. The envoy sent by his HOLI NESS immediately demanded an audience of Queen CHRISTINA, in which he declared that before deliver ing the bull he was directed to demand of her MA JESTY a renewal and confirmation of the conditions previously arranged for the marriage of Queen Isa.- BELLA with the son of Don CARLOS. These condi tions were accordingly renewed, accepted, and signed. The bull was delivered on the 12th, and on the 13th Madame MUNOZ saw her crown of orange blossom blessed by the Patriarch of the Indies. The following are the conditions of the contract between Queen CHRISTINA and his Holiness :- 1. The legislative declaration decreed in 1834 during the Administration of M. Martinez de la Rosa by the Estamentos, shall be annulled ; and the first decree, by which the eventual right of Don Carlos and his family to the Crown of Spain was taken away, shall be decreed null and void. 2. In virtue of this official act, the property of Don Carlos and of the Infant Don Sebastian, which was con fiscated, shall, with all the revenue derivable from that property, be restored. 3. The marriage of Isabella 11. with the son of Don Carlos shall be celebrated, and the Prince shall take the title of Isabella Carlos. 4. Should Don Carlos choose to reside out of Spain, he shall be guaranteed in a pension equal to that enjoyed by Maria Christina, as Reg ent of Spain, namely, twelve millions of reals (120,000. sterling). 5. The Spanish nation shall acknowledge all the ex penditure, loans, and obligations contracted by Don Carlos and his Government during the seven years of war between the two rival Sovereigns. 6. All the titles, rank, employments, and honours conferred during the same period shall be acknowledged, and no one shall be prosecuted or kept out of employ ment on account of his opinions. 7. All equipments and other necessaries supplied to the troops which supported the rights of Don Carlos, shall be paid by the public treasury in the same way as those furnished to the troops of Isabella. 8. The independence of the Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church shall be acknowledged all the property of which the clergy have been spoliated shall be re stored, and if that should be impracticable, the property not sold shall be restored, and an annual revenue shall be given to the full value of the income of the property of which the Church has been deprived, that property, according to present calculations, amounting to 4,000 millions of reels (40 millions of pounds sterling). The writer then makes the following comment on this extraordinary document : " You will now see the reason why the troops in Na varre were increased, in order, on a given day, to pro tect the return of the family of Don Carlos to Spain. You will see why the disturbances at Alicant and Car thagena were taken advantage of to dissolve all the Na tional Guards of the kingdom, and why the disarma ment of the citizens has been made an article of the Constitution. You will also see what has induced the suppression of the paragraph relative to the sovereignty of the people, and why article 48 was expunged, which compelled the Queen to have the consent of the Cortes in the choice of her husband; and also why article 54, which decreed the decheance of Don Carlos and his family, has been destroyed—an article pronounced in 1834 by the Estamentos, then sanctioned by Marie Christina, and now rejected by Madame Munoz. You will also see the reason for removing from the Constitution the ar ticle which compelled the budget to be annually pre sented to the Cortes, for who could dare to present to that assembly a document in which was included an in crease to the public debt of a milliard of reals to fulfil the conditions of the infamous contract of the 11th of October ? If Martinez de la Rosa showed himself so anxious to close the field of public discussion; if Narvaez attacked the Deputies with a bayonet in his mouth; if' all these Seids showed themselves so bold and so auda cious; if it throws the whole of Spain into trouble and alarm; if they wish to destroy from the foundation the constitutional edifice, you will now comprehend the rea son. This inexplicable necessity is thus explained by The apathy with which the destruction of the the projects which are already decided upon. Spanish Constitution is viewed by the people of this " And all this, be it known, and let the French press re is F v d e o r n y e th7n wit g h t w h a e s av a o r w ra a l l ig t e )f d th w e he F n re e nc h h ris G tin o a ver r n e: country, forms a new feature in the history of free States.

All wished CARLOS. "We do not believe," it says, " matters the Portuguese Liberals success, and rejoiced are so far advanced.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 29.—According to Art. 92 of the standing order of the Second Chamber of the States General, the Committee appointed to draw up the address to the King met yesterday, both in the morning and the afternoon. The central section sat a very long time to consider the objections that had been made to the addre,s. The draft was re-examined and determined by the Committee. The Second Chamber is to meet to-day at twelve o'clock. At the beginning of the sitting printed copies of the address will be distributed among the Members. The Second Chamber has now a very extensive project of law before them respecting the elective franchise. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, OCT. 28.—This morning, the King received with the usual ceremony the dispatches of the Chamber of Representatives commissioned to present to him the address of the Chamber, in reply to his Majesty's speech. His Majesty made the following answer : " Gentlemen —The object which I have proposed to myself, and which you have just defined in so happy a manner, claims our solicitude. I know that I may depend on your patriotism and your enlight ened regard for the national interest. " You have given a new proof of the sentiments which animate you by the activity with which you have commenced your labours, for which I sincerely thank you, in the name of the country." • The Chamber of Representatives, after having heard the King's answer to the address, entered on the discusssion of the project of law relative to the settlement and relief of the poor. We hear that Messrs. Van Gend sent to London riot only two of their clerks, but also two others em ployed in their French office, in pursuit of the con- Actor who absconded with 35,000 f., and that they have discovered and arrested him at Liverpool, with die - money in his possession. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 9.—The Turkish Ministry has been made easy with respect to its apprehensions of the negotiation of England with Mehemet Ali, for facilitating the communication with India over the Isthmus of Suez; and Sir Stratford Canning has succeeded in obtaining from the Porte the permission sought by the Viceroy, for the conclusion of a conven tion to that effect wi - th,Great Britain. Meantime the British Ambassador has received from Alexandria accounts which are far from satisfactory. It is said that Mehemet Ali insists more obstinately than ever on forming himself all the necessary establishments on the Isthmus, and in providing for the conveyance (of goods and passengers) on his own account. Mr. Bourne had returned from Cairo to Alexandria and had had again two conferences with Mehemet Ali ; in consequence of which he seems to have given up all hope of inducing him to change his mind.

" Mr. Drummond said a great deal of talk was made about giving scientific information to farmers, but in hie opinion the only important question for farmers w.is, how to :nake a dunghill."—Speech at the West Surrey Agricultural Association, Oct. 23, 1844, reported in The Sun. _ _ _ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Pray was the gentleman who made use of the words quoted above , the individual who invented the Drummond light Q-1 am, Sir, yours, &c., Ilfracombe, Oct. 25,1844. CAMPHIN E. MINISTERIAL CHANGES.—It is reported, in circles likely to be correctly informed, that Lord Haddington is about to retire as First Lord of the Admiralty, and that Lord Ellenborough will take his place. The fre quent interruptions of health to which Lord Hadding ton is subject, and which have materially impaired his official efficiency, renders his Lordship's retirement from office by no means unlikely ; while the desire which the Cabinet must feel to propitiate. Lord Ellenborough before the meeting of Parliament, by providing him with a good post, in lieu of that from which his Lordship has been recalled, gives an air of probability to the latter portion of the rumour.—Evening paper. MR. TEMPLETON'S CONCERTS.—The Carlisle Pa triot, speaking of a concert lately given by Mr. Temple ton in that city, says :—" Templeton is, in himself, a host. He stands alone as the most accomplished singer of the present day, and well did he sustain his European reputation in ' I love her, oh! I love her;' and ' Still, so gently o'er me stealing.' Mr. Templeton's voice seems capable of every modulation that the human organ can attain, from the most daring and inspiring to the most simple and soul-subduing melody. He seems to labour under no difficulty in the execution of the most elaborate and refined compositions, or in the homely phrase of every-day life. It is the perfection of execu tion, exciting even the sceptical professors of the art to expressions of rapture." TIER MAJESTY'S BILL OF FARE AT THE ROYAL EX CHANGE.—The Illuminated " Bill of Fare," and which her Majesty was pleased to request might be forwarded to Windsor, was executed by Mr. John Sherrin, in the establishment of Messrs. Harding and Smith, Pall-mall. Du. PYPER.—A public dinner was given to this gentleman in the Hopeton Rooms, Edinburgh, on Tues day, on his appointment to the Professorship of Hu manity in the University of St. Andrews. Lord Provost Black was in the chair, and nearly 100 persons of the first respectability were present on the occasion. We read the following amusing, we know not how true, anecdote of our old favourite Lablache in the Courrier Francais :—" Few are there in the world who are not acquainted with the talent of Lablache, but his occasional absence of mind is not so universally known. The following is an instance:—When last at Naples he was sent for to the Palace, an honour frequently con ferred upon him, his Neapolitan Majesty being much delighted with the drolleries and unalterable good humour of the celebrated singer. On arriving he en tered the waiting-room, and, till called into his Majesty, conversed with the courtiers in attendance. Having a cold in his head, he requested and obtained permission to keep on his hat. Getting into full discourse with those around, he was suddenly startled by the gentleman in waiting, crying out, ' His Majesty demands the presence of Signor Lablache.' In his eagerness to obey the royal summons, he forgot the hat he had on his head, and snatching up another, thus entered the King's Cabinet. Being received with a most hearty laugh, Lablache was confounded, but at length recovering himself, and re spectfully asked his Majesty what had excited his hilarity. ' My dear Lablache,' replied the King, ' pray tell me which of the two hats you have got with you is your own, that on your head or that in your hand ? Or per haps you have brought both as a measure of precaution in case you should leave one behind you ?" Ah ! male. detto l' cried Lablache, with an air of ludicrous distress, on discovering his etourderie, ' two hats are indeed too many for a man who bas no head.' "—Galignani's Mes senger. OLD COIN.—A beautiful gold coin, of the reign o f Edward 111., was recently discovered on baring some grounds at the lime works at Levit hag, near this town. The coin is a quarter noble, of the value of one shilling and eightpence of the period, and weighs one penny weight and four and a half grains. Obverse—" Edward, I)ie. Gra. Rex. Angl.," the royal arms within a tressure of eight arches, pointed"with trefoils. Reverse--,,e Ex. altobtur, in Gl oria," in a double tressure, with Fleurs de-lis and lions in the arches, a cross fleury, with trefoils in the angles. It was probably minted at a period from 1360 to 1369, as during the interval the title of Edward, as King of France, does not occur on his coins ; but he resumed the claim in the latter year. The words " Die gratia" appear on the English coins, for the first time in the reign of Edward lll.—Doncaster Chronicle. INCENDIARY FIRES IN THE EAST RIDING OP YOEK SHIRE.—We regret to state that two incendiary fires have occurred in this neighbourhood during the last few days. Tbe first was on Thursday mor n i ng , last week, wh e n f our c orn stacks, bplonging to Mr. Richard Hornsea, of Wold Farm, near North New.: bald, together with a thrashing-machine, were de stroyed. The other case occurred on Saturday night, when some person maliciously set fire to a wheat stack on the farm of Mr. Thomas Robinson, of Ellerker, near South Cave. A very handsome reward has been offered conjointly, by Mr. Robinson and the Yorkshire Insur ance Company, for the apprehension of the offender.— Hull Paper. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY. THURSDAY EVENING. The extreme quotations of the day in the English Market was scarcely supported at the close, Consols been at par for Money, and loq sellers for Account. Exchequer Bills continued heavy. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. remained firm at 102 to*. The Three per Cents. closed at 99 to /. Spanish maintained the slight appearance of improve ment manifested in the morning. The Five per Cents. were 238 f, and the Three per Cents., 344. Portuguese Converted brought 52*. Colombian were 13k. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 621 f. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these:—Birmingham and Gloucester were 58 to 5; Bristol and Exeter, 41 to I; Chester and Holyhead, li; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 11 ; Ely and Bedford, -1; Great Western, 65; Ditto, Half, 36; Greenwich, Preference, 311 Manchester and Birmingham, 10; Newcastle and Darlington, 28 to 27f ; Norwich and Brandon, 4: 4 1 ; Ditto, New, 2a; South-Eastern, 9/ to *; Ditto, New, 118; Central of France, Constituted, 7 to 8; Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux, 24; and Paris and Rouen, 20 to 4 pre - mium. Direct Northern were at par. Eastern Counties have been 111 8; Greenwich, 2i; and Midland and Bir mingham and Derby, 20f to 21 discount. National Pro vincial Bank of England were I premium. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was flat, owing to the advices by the steamer. Sales, 3,500 bags—viz , 400 Egyptian, at sfd. to 7d ; 200 Surat, at 2fd. to 31 ; and the rest American, at 3d. to sd. per lb.—Shares were, on the whole, dull. Chester and Bir kenhead, New, 24 ; Churaet Valley, 73k ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 581 ; Glasgow and Ayr, 62 ; Grand Junction, Half, 103 - ; London and Birmingham, 213 ; Ditto, One-Quarter Shares, 244 ; London and York, 3f; Manchester and Leeds, 1111 ; Midland Counties, 106; Sheffield and Lincoln, 11 17s. 6d. ; South-Eastern, 424 Lyons and Avignon, 2 6-20 ; Paris and Strasburg, 2/. 4s. 6d. ; Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux, 31 ; Central of France, 4f. It is satisfactory to find that the accounts received a few days back, that the negotiation with the Pacha of Egypt for the acceleration of the transit of the mails through that country had been unattended with success, are contradicted. On the contrary, it is more than pro bable that before this final arrangements have been com pleted to carry out most successfully the great object in view. The Paella's Prime Minister, Artim Bey, had acted most courteously to Mr. Bourne, and who was, at the last dates, at Cairo, negotiating, on behalf of the Post-office authorities of this country, and had with the Pacha shown every desire to forward the object. The subject of forming a railway to Suez was under attentive consideration. There are some symptoms of a want of co-operation among the Scottish public to sustain the small note cir culation of that part of the United Kingdom. A sort of foreboding is apparent that Sir Robert Peel will in terfere with the system, and that too with success. At the meeting of the Merchant Company of Edinburgh a few days since, the Chairman announced that repre: entations had been made to Mr. Macaulay, their M.P., of the safety of the small note system, and of its beneficial working. The feeling, however, of Mr. Macaulay appeared to be, as reported, that Englishmen considered sovereigns better for circulation north as well as south of the Tweed, and the Hon. Member did not give any sanguine hopes that opposition to the Premier's plans of doing away with small Scotch notes would have any effect. However, it was resolved at this, as well as at other meetings, to take up firmer ground upon the question, and to crush the project at its outset. The private letters have just been delivered from the United States and Canada. The weather had become extremely cold in Canada, and there was every appear ance of an early and severe winter. In other respects we do not find anything of interest in the advices. From New York it appears that a good spring trade was ex expected, but business at the latest dates was not very active. In the British Funds to-day we have but a trifling variation to notice. Consols for the Account have been quoted at 100 and at 100*. For Money the more current value has been from 99k to 100 k. The Three-and-Half per Cents. are at 102*, and the premiums upon Exchequer Bills are at 675. to 695. The Commissioners bought Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 1021, and Reduced Three per Cents. at 99*. The allotment of the Scrip in the New Belgian Loan, bearing interest at the rate of 2i per cent., has been made by the contractors, Messrs. Rothschild and Co. We have not heard of many transactions this morning, as the subscribers have, in most instances, preferred to hold as a beneficial investment. Nominally the Scrip is at about 1 per cent. premium. Belgic Stock is at 104 and Dutch Five per Cents. at 98k. Parties interested in Spanish securities have been taken entirely by surprise this morning by the propaga tion of the terms upon which the marriage between the Queen of Spain and the son of Don Carlos. For this extraordinary information they were indebted to the Morning Advertiser, which journal some few days since announced exclusively . that the preliminaries for the marriage had been completed. W hat will be thought of the debt of Spain, the amount of which is at present unknown, having added to it the expenditure of the Carlists, supposed to amount to forty millions of reels, created during the seven years' civil war? The clergy property, which has been sold, is to be inscribed in the great book of the .nation, thus adding enormously again to the obligations, while even now the Treasury has not an income to meet one-tenth of the demands upon it. As no doubt the terms upon which this grossly fraudulent compact has been brought about will be found in another column of The Sun, further observations are not necessary here. Of the feelings entertained in the City upon the subject more hereafter. The market for Spanish Bonds . has been very heavy this morning, the above arrangement not being at all relished by the Bondholders. The Three per Cents. have been sold at 341, and the Five per Cents. at 23-a. For the Portuguese Converted Bonds the only price this morning has been 524 to 52i ; for Mexican 341 to 341; for Colombian, ex Venezuelian, 13i, and for. Brazilian 861. The Railway Share Market has not altered much to day, the Directors being principally engaged in the set tlement of their transactions in the Foreign Funds—this being the account day. The latest prices for Shares are annexed. The London and Birmingham, the Great Western, the Midland, and the York and North Mid land values have advanced. PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK.

" Who runs may read." POIZEIGN. The Independent of Montpellier states, that in the late storm at Cette twenty persons lost their lives, six vessels were sunk, and an immense number of others received great damage, and 200 houses were more or less injured. A subscription has been opened at Cette for the relief of the most needy sufferers. The Abbe Cros, of Cette, at the moment of the late storm in that town, was looking from the tower of his church at the weather. He saw a black cloud, which he at first thought proceeded from a steam-boat, but, per ceiving vessels dashed together, and the roofs o' houses torn off, he hastened to descend. He had not reached half. way down, when the dome fell behind him, and burst in the roof of the church. The Minister of Commerce, on being informed of the calamity that has occurred at Cette, immediately placed at the disposal of the Prefect, a sum of 20,000 f. for the most urgent wants of the sufferers. Lord Brougham arrived at the Hotel Meur:ce, PariF, •n Sunday evening. The Flotte, a naval journal, states from Breit t several officers of that port who have been morn tin n twenty years in the service have written to the Minister of Marine, desiring to be placed on the retired list, and that others who have not served long enough to b 3 en tided to this have requested to be placed on half-pay. This is said to have arisen from dissatisfaction at being passed over in the late promotion. MM. Arago, Cousin, Gay-Lussac, Victor Hugo, Li martine, De Tocqueville, and Horace Vernet, have been made knights of the order of the Polar Star, at a Chapter held at Stockholm in the beginning of the month, and a hich the King presided. M. de Humboldt has been made a commander of the order. The execution of Pont, who was condemned for poi soning his wife and murdering his mistress, took pace on Monday at Versailles, on the Place St. Antoine. The Courrier du Gard gives a rather alarming ac count of the effect of the late rains upon the Rhone and the smaller streams in the country. The Rhone had risen to within three feet of its greatest height during the inundations of 1843, and should the rain continue similar disasters were to be apprehended. The river has not yet overflowed its banks, and the road from Lyons to Nimes was still open. The Saone had risen also very considerably, but there was every hope that it would not reach the height necessary for it to do any serious damage. The engineers were taking every precautionary measure. The passages of the steam-boats had not been interrupted. A letter from Frankfort of the 22d mentions a report that the Emperor of Russia is about to recognise the in dependence of Belgium, and to establish diplomatic re lations with that country. A monument is about to be erected to the memory of William the Conqueror at Falaise, the place of his birth. The Normans have been a long time in thinking of it, about 800 years. The Clamor Publico, a Madrid journal, affirms that an order had been dispatched frotn the War-office, that Messrs. Zurbano and Lernery should be immediately shot, wherever they • might be found, as soon as their identity should be establishad. A St. Petersburgh letter, of the 28th ult., says : " Steam navigation is becoming yearly more and more ex tended in this empire. The first steam-boat was built in 1816 in the yard of Ischora, and is of 32-horse power. The Baltic has seventeen steamers, of from 32 to 540 horse power. Among these are six war ships. The fleet in the Black Sea has thirteen steamers, and five for the service of the ports. In the Caspian there are four. Steam navigation also is carried on in the Neva, the Wolschow, the Dune, the Dnieper, the Kama, and the Lake of Peipus. It also exists on the great Siberian Lake of Baikal, and has greatly increased the internal commerce of Siberia. X.ILW AND POLICIES. In the Secondaries' Court, Mr. Nicholls recovered from a cabinet-maker named Johnson 201. as a compensation for damages done by defendant to a pbny and chaise, which he had hired of plaintiff. Wednesday James Thos. Hanratty, a clerk at Messrs' Morrison, Dillon', and Co.'s Fore -street, was committed from Guildhall, charged with embezzling 130 L At Bow-street, Mr. Twyford was occupied for some, hours in hearing a complaint preferred by Viscount Ra nelagh against Inspector Barton of the G, or Clerken well division of police, charging him with having com mitted an assault upon his Lordship in the Strand, on the dayof her Majesty's visit to the Royal Exchange. His Lordship, however, took nothing by his complaint, for Mr. Twyford, in dismissing the case, said he could not con viet an inspector who had been struck at by his Lordship and treated with so much disrespect as it was evident Was used towards him. His only wonder was that his Lordship was not immediately taken into custody for striking at a police-officer in the execution of his duty, and he blamed the inspector for not ordering his arrest. William Edwards, who described himself as a barrister at-law, residing at 1, Middle Temple-lane, was charged at Clerkenwell with having assaulted Mrs. Mary Anti Sprigge wife of Mr. 'l'. Sprigge, a solicitor, residing in North-place, Gray's Inn-road. The prisoner in a drunken fit bad twice attempted to strike the prosecu trix, who was walking quietly along the street. lie was fined 2/. At Marylebone, Captain Charles Irvine, R.N., who is upwards of seventy years of age, and resides at present at No. 74, Great Portland-street, was brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Long, by virtue of a warrant which had been pla ed in the hands of Whipp, the officer, to answer the charge of having written and sent a letter to Edward Walter Forrester Walker, a captain in the Scots Fusilier Guards, with intent to induce him to fight a duel. Captain Irvine thought that as the challenge .was to fight in Belgium, the magistrate could take no cognizance of the matter. Mr. Long, however, con vinced him of his error by ordering him to find- sureties to keep the peace for twelve months. John Morris, an elderly man, was brought hefure Mr. Trail!, at Union Hall, charged with obtaining various sums of money, by practicing a very gross deception on the public. The prisoner, who is one of the most in corrigible imposters about, has been recently laying contributions in the character of a man reduced front comfortable circumstances to destitution in consequence of being incapacitated from holding any employment owing to the recent rupture of a blood-vessel in the lungs. He was committed for three months. - A lad named Alfred Goldsmith, charged , with throw ing stones at the trains passing on the South-western Railway, was fined 5/. at Wandsworth, and in default of payment committed for six weeks. Thomas Robinson was committed from the Thames office, on a charge of burgiariously entering the cabin of the schooner Mary Ann, in Union.stairs Tier, Wapping, and stealing a silver watch,gold chain and seals, the pro perty of William Gordon Brown, a Custom house officer.

Laurence of Galway, and bishop elect of that diocese, having received a letter from Rome, intimating that the Pope approved of his nomination to fill the vacant see of Galway, posted at once to Tuam, in order to place in the hands of Arch bishop M'Hale his resignation of the dignity. Dr. M'Hale expressed his determination not to accept of it, but so anxious is the Rev. Gentleman to forego the prelacy, that he means, at the assemblage of the Roman Catholic bishops on the 12th of November, in Dublin, to again tender his resignation. Professor Liebeg, after a lengthened sojourn In this country, left on Tuesday last for Germany. The Learned Professor delayed his departure, in order to be present at the Royal entertainment on Monday last, on the occasion of the opening of the Royal Exchange. It was in contemplation, to have given a - public enter tainment to that eminent want, bot, from being neces sitated to officiate at the Giessen University, the lectures at which foundation commenced a week ago, he was ob. liged to decline the pressing invitations he had received from several scientific bodies. A new description of official books has been intro duced into the Customs department, in which the account Is taken of merchandise, on being landed from the vessels in the docks and river, for the purpose of being housed under bond, or cleared immediately on payment of the duties for home consumption, with a view to prevent a repetition of the frauds which have been committed by some of the officers in collusion with dishonest agents, and others, A rtinnipo rpatph of three hundred yards came off netii theOreeu Man public-house, Blackheath ; the cora petitop were Phillips (of Blackheath) and Gregory (of London).
