Sir ANDREW AGNEW, like the once celebrated ROMEO COATES, appears to be smitten with a passion for notoriety, which ridicule cannot extinguish nor grave remonstrance keep within reasonable bounds. As the one gentleman was never easy but when ex hibiting himself on the stage, in order to convince the public how admirably qualified he was for burlesquing the actor's art ; so the latter seems never to be in his element but when engaged in the edifying task of proving to the satisfaction of the world how consum mate a master he is of all the resources of puritanical cant, and how utterly he mistakes the true, vital spirit of Christianity, which is but another term for charity, forbearance, and toleration. We have never had the good fortune to see the ultra-pious Baronet ; yet, strange to say, we seem to be perfectly acquainted with the peculiarities of his outer Adam; and never, by any chance, do we meet in the streets a tall, straight, elderly gentleman, with a demure ex pression of eye, and a phiz as long as the Irish tra iersers' monster indictment, and as sour as that of the Bishop of EXETER, when anguished by the recol lection of his lost rectory of Stanhope —we never meet with an individual of this peculiar cut in the street, without feeling strongly tempted to ex claim, in the excess of our respect and admira tion, " There goes Sir ANDREW AGNEW !" We have said that the one dominant feature in the character of this evangelical Baronet is a passion for notoriety. his speeches in the House of Commons on the subject of Sabbath observances, and Tore es p cially his letter to one of the QUEEN'S Blanisters, when she was resident at Blair Athol—wherein he delicately intimated his regret that her MAJESTY hail allowed herself to be inveigled within the walls of a Presbyterian kirk—are instances in proof of the truth of our assertion; and now we find a third instance, in the shape of an epistle, as "grand and verbose," as that which TIBERIUS addressed to the Roman Senate , which Sir ANDREW AGNEW has recently writt en t o the High Sheriff of Cavan, on his favouri'e topic of Sabbath desecration. In this epistle, whose logic is as loose a.; the spirit that pervades it is straight-laced, the writer vehemently reproaches the railways with their wickedness in allowing them selves to be run upon on Sundays, observing that a "great desecration of the Lord's-day is caused by every railway ;" and then proceeds to say :—" Is the word of GOD to lose its power, as the sword of the Spirit, on the human conscience, because in his provi dence a new system of traffic has been developed ? Undoubtedly there was with the MosT thou the foreknowledge of every shape and form of work and traffic in this our day and generation ; and the work of railways, both as to their for mation and their traffic, is comprehended in the words, thy works,' to be done in the s'x working-days of the week." We infer from this that the omniscient CREATOR of the Universe foresaw that the time would arrive when the Great 'Western arid all the other railways would be carried into execu tion, and, consequently, he had a special eye to them, as well as to the spinning-j nny, the Thames Tunnel, and other " f orms of work and traffic, " when he laid down the law to man that he should work six days in the week, and rest on li t ke he seventh I Si r A NDREW AGNE W is, we believe, ; but most it fanatics, a well-ia tentioned .person in a more familiar, irreverent to allude nt ss s pirit h to the awful attributes of th e D Lizz, done in the above passage ? W ou ld any one e than i b ' u aa t himself have ever dreamed of representing his CREATOR as endowed with a " foreknowledge" 4 the railway system ? The saintly Baronet next ~.-++► goes on to recommend all railway proprietors to agitate the question of Sabbath desecration at their public and private meetings. "Freedom of speech and of debate being given," he adds, "we can reiterate our principle, and make all half yearly meetings as go many Lord's- day Societies, none being suffered to pass with out hearing and sending abroad public testi monies for the truth ; and we hare the highest authoritj for believing that such faithfulness may be blessed to the convincing of many who are now op posed to us, for faith cometh by hearing." If Sir ANDREW were to be one of the speakers at these meetings, we should be disposed to say—" sleep cometh by hearing," rather than " faith ;" but passing this consideration, can any man con ceive a more absurd proposition than that the half-yearly meetings of the railways should be " as so many Lord's-day Societies"—in other words, that they should constitute a strange jumble of busi ness and piety, where the language of the ledger should be blended with the language of Scripture and exhortations to look sharp after the dividend be followed with exhortations to look sharp after their immortal souls ? In the " Money Articles" of all the London news papers it will be found that the very high price ob tained by Consols is a subject of astonishment to some, of congratulation to others. In the former feeling we should certainly participate, were it not for the very peculiar condition of circumstances which now affects the investment of capital. In the latter we should concur, did not our apprehensions for the future greatly outweigh any reasons we can discern for satisfaction with the present. Between the extravagant and perilous enterprises which are on all hands now soliciting investments, with pro mises of tempting returns, indeed, but these founded on bases of security almost as flimsy and as worth less as the sheet of paper on which they are set forth—between these and the legitimate channels, as they are called, of the public securities, there are few left to choose from. The great established cor porate stocks of the elder public companies are seldom brought into the market, and, when they are, soon disappear, from the avidity with which they are sought after by capitalists who prefer, and can afford, a moderate, but certain and unfluctuating return for their money, to precarious dividends, ranging this week between an unit and a thousand— the next, descending from a thousand to an unit. The Government securities, from this cause, and others of the same nature, become in demand. The operations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in re ducing a large portion of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents., and the considerable sums of money thrown back on the hands of small annuitants, to whom many provincial banking establishments decline to allow the rate of interest they formerly paid on such deposits, on account of the increased liabilities they are placed under by the last Joint-Stock Banks' Re gulation Act, may have contributed their influence to produce this action in favour of one of the most favourite stocks, notwithstanding the obvious dis advantage at which the new funders must invest at such a price as 100 and a fraction. But what is the reason of a fact we learn from the concurrent autho rity of the same articles, namely, that, notwithstand ing a high price of Consols thus unfavourable to the general operation and object of present investments, and notwithstanding the release and diffusion of so many broken masses of money no longer employed, and, moreover, the enormous aggregate of ready capital procurable on Government paper and first rate bills at from two to two and a fraction per cent. —discounts, on any other bills, however unexception able, are procurable only with the great degree of difficulty they speak of ? Five per cent., and from half as much more to as much again, would be given, but these rates will not fetch out the dormant cash. This is surely an anomalous and a mischievous state of things. When it prevails, money accumulates to an enormous extent in a few hands, but is withheld from the many. The operations and energy of the many are more or less paralysed by the torpid action and dead weight of the few. Property, in its repre sented form, ceases to circulate, because the means of circulation are absorbed by a few isolated points of the general machine. To give multiplication and expansion to these means would surely be the first ob ject of wise legislation. The legislation of Sir ROBERT PEEL establishes a more direct principle of absorp tion, contracts the number of points, puts additional checks on the circulation, and keeps down the natu ral tendency of representation and expansion by the high-pressure power of a metallic currency, which we greatly fear will one day involve in its own explosion the ruin of our commercial credit, as it has already effectually sapped the foundations of our commercial prosperity. This fatal interference with our monetary system has proceeded on the normal solecism of attempting to make gold at once a standard of value at a fixed price, whilst he has permitted and recognised the trade in that metal as a commodity or merchandise, subject, like any other, to all the fluctuations of value in the market, which are produced by the varying amount of demand and supply. He compels the Bank of England, and all other issuers of paper in this part of the kingdom, to pay their notes on demand in gold, at the Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d.—a price so cheap as to have repeatedly been, since the enactment of 1819, less than the price of gold of the same fineness in the market. All issuers of bank notes—the Bank of England " first and foremost"—have been compelled to limit their issues, not according to the simple re quisitions of the wants of trade, the exigencies of the demand, the amount of property of all kinds in the market awaiting conversion into money capital, but by the chances of their ability at any future period, proximate or distant, to procure gold in sufficient abundance to meet all notes of their issue which may be presented for payment. llad the principle of con vertibility been limited to gold "at the market price" —if the current payment, instead of being enforced at the fixed and almost universally cheap price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce, this grievous cause of currency contraction--of a heavy per tentage loss to banks of issue and of exhausting weakness, hazard, and decay, throughout the whole operation of our commercial system and our domestic economy—would have been, if not utterly extinguished, at least infinitely modi fied so as to be.xune of comparatively innoxious ef ' feet. Under the system as it actually exists and works, the employer of industrial labour is as much acted on in an innumerable class of cases by this ex traneous pressure as the banker. To compe3sate him for the risk lie runs of having to take up guld at pe riods when it is dear in the market, and the fluctua tion of prices he must meet when it is plentiful, he impinges on the wages of labour. He no longer gives a " fair day's wage for a fair day's labour" —that righteous equivalent which Lord Joan RUSSELL has so ably and so eloquently advocated. In what events these fearful anomalies of our monetary and social condition are pretty certain to determine, we shall en deavour to show in an early notice of the " First Re port of the Committee of the Society for the Emanci pation of Industry," and of the " Three Letters on the Scottish Currency Question," by " SCOTUS." To the former of these tracts we shall direct the especial attention of our readers. order to take refege in France. As to Zurbano himself, it was supposed that he was lying hid in some village of the high grounds, between Upper Arragon and Navarre. It is not true, as had been reported in Bayonne, that he had turned back !to Soria. The two prisoners, we un derstand, were placed in custody in the chapel of Lo grono. All that was waited for to hare them shot was the order of General Pavia, Captain-General of Navarre. Zurbano's son is 23 years of age." The Phare des Pyrenees of the 24th gives longer details, and states that it is the brother-in-law, not the father-in-law, of ZURAINO, who had been cap tured with one of his sons. No traces of ZuttßANo's flight had been discovered. That journal says : " We have received a letter from Vittoria dated the 22d, and written at the moment the courier was about to depart, which states the military authorities had just received an official report announcing that Cayo Muro, Zurbano's brother-in-law, and one of his servants, had fallen into the hands of the Queen's troops on the 20th, when endeavouring to gain the Ebro. One of Zurbano's sons was also made prisoner on the night of the 20th. " The news which we gave in our last number relative to the rising of tie communes of Aeso and Echo (Upper Arragon) appears positive. The following details have reached us through Urdos, under date of the 21st:— The first act of the insurgents was to disarm the Custom-house officers placed over that part of the frontier. They next seized on a rich landowner of the country, whose only crime is being a Moderado, and they demanded from him a sum of 20,000 f., which he was obliged to pay down to save his life. Not withstanding this compliance on his part, g reat uneasi ness was felt for his life, as the insurgents had killed one of his servants. The Governor of Jaca, informed of these events, dispatched against the insurgents a detach ment of 50 soldiers, who, according to the account of persons arriving at Urdos, were made prisoners. The officer in command of the detachment was, it is said, AMERICAN NEWS ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The British and North American mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Ryrie, arrived here at twelve o'clock last night, in twelve days and a half from Boston, bringing the Canadian taxi United States mails and fifty passengers. The news by this arrival extends to the 16th inst., and is seven days later news. The United States, and also Canada, were still engrossed with election movements. In the former Polk's majority continued to increase, and in Canada the Conservative majority was also large. In com• mercial matters there is but little to remark. The success of Mr. Polk has given the Whigs great anneyance, as will be seen from the following outline of a speech delivered at Boston by Mr. Webster. He thus commences imitating the language put into the mouth of a certain personage by Milton : " What if the field is lost—all is not lost ! The high and abiding sense of duty, the indomitable will, the firm and patriotic purpose, the devotion to liberty, our Con stitution, and our native land, all abide by us, as brilliant as the firmament, and as enduring as these walls ; and they cannot be taken from us by the power of a succesful opponent, by the failure of friends, or by any circumstance of adversity. Whatever are our prospects the truth is the same, our country is the same, and we are the same. Mr. Webster continued, that if the prospect of that day had been the same as that of the preceding, he should have asked the Committee to excuse him from attending on this occasion, which would have been one of congra tulation and of joy, that he might obtain some repose after the exertions of the campaign. But some clouds having come across the prospect, it was more according to his feeling to report himself, and take his part in re sisting the current of adversity, and to assist in forming resolutions for the future, and doing whatever duties firmness and patriotism might yet require. The Whigs might not succeed at the coming election, but Massachu setts did not stand alone ; she had with her three other States in New England, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island ; she had still with her Maryland and New Jersey, Indiana, Georgiana, Louisiana, Ohio, and others; our band was not yet broken, and our strength yet re mained sufficient. But what it Massachusetts did stand alone, if she alone remained among the faithful ; if that wore her distinction, let her win it—let her wear it ; it would be a proud addition to her ancient crown. This was not the proper occasion to investigate all the causes of our disappointment, of the defection of the two great States of New York and Pennsylvania. (But one cause most to be deplored was very evident, and the result of those elections had produced upon his mind the impres sion that there was a strong necessity for a thorough mo dification of the naturalisation laws of the country.) He believed, upon his conscience, that the welfare of the country imperatively demanded this, and that it was the duty of all parties to attend to it, and that no man to whom his country was dearer than party, would fail to lend his assistance to such a measure.--(Mr. Webster's declaration of this opinion was received with the heartiest and most meaning cheers. He went on to strengthen it by an examination of the question of naturalisation, and his opinion was continually supported by the applause of the audience.) He said that it was not unreasonable to request of persons of foreign birth, before the exercise of the franchise here, that made them sovereigns, that they should have resided here long enough to be come acquainted with our institutions, and to be. come American in feeling. The rights of per sons already naturalised are secured ; but he saw a necessity for extending the time of probation of other foreigners. Every American exercised a part of the sovereign power. It is a great duty, forming no part of European citizenship, and therefore not appreciated by those who eome thence. Alterations in the law are re quired also to prevent the immense frauds arising from the illegal use of naturalisation papers. He believr that if it should turn out that this election had gone against Henry Clay, it was from the fraudulent votes of unnaturalised foreigners, and in proof of this cited many stringent instances ; and he said if this were the case, he thought we should go to the source of popular power and have the error corrected. He had not intended to go into the matters at issue in the present canvass. He must refer to one. In the corres pondence with regard to the admission of Texas, that project was advocated mainly in order to support what were called the peculiar institutions of this country. It was almost too much to read the comments of Europt upon this ground of argument. An honest man could hardly listen to the proposition that when morals, reli gion, civilisation, everything respected, were opposed to the maintenance of slavery, that America should come forward and declare it was a question necessary to the support of her institutions. This was a question that could not be permanently decided against us to day or to-morrow. If we could not avert it now, by choice of a President or Vice-President, we must do it by the choice of members of Con gress, and by sending our young, strong, and ac tive men to oppose the admission of Texas, and the perpetuation of slavery. Re should shrink from no ser vice to oppose it, whenever and wherever he might meet it. If free principles could exist nowhere else, let them come to Massachusetts; let them entrench themselves in Faneuil Hall, and laugh the siege to scorn! He saw around him the portraits of Washington and Hancock, and the other great men of our former days, and he heard their voices saying unto us—' Whigs of Boston, Whigs of Massachusetts, we are with you!' and fol lowing in the principles that they maintained, and fol lowing in the footsteps they trod, the Whigs of Boston would answer them by saying, that they would follow them through evil report and good report, and that, living or dying, in prosperity or adversity, we should show ourselves no unworthy followers of such glorious fathers !"—(Mr. Webster sat down amidst tremendous and long-continued cheers.) (Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—The result of the Presiden tial election was announced in this city, by the magic telegraph, at midnight. The democratic hurrah an nounced it to the President. I learn that, at the White House, the intelligence of the democratic triumph in New York was received with the most heartfelt plea sure. The President looks upon the result as a complete triumph of the principles which he maintained, and of the measures which he sought to accomplish. A new campaign, based on the great strength manifested by the Whigs at the late election, has already opened. The disbanding of the Whig party, and the abandonment of antidiluvians and of antidiluvian policy, is already seen in the annunciation of American Republican journals in various parts of the country. The Whigs and their pe culiar policy, as far as the same was known, are already lost sight of, and new combinations are on all sides springing up. It belongs to some great and skilful poli tician to combine all these elements into a new, and powerful, and successful party. LATER FROM MEXICO.—The Creole, at New Orleans, brings dates from Vera Cruz to the 22d ult. The es pousels of Santa Anna and his new bride were celebrated in truly royal style—by proxy—he being upon his estate of Mango de Cleve, and the lady in the city of Mexico. A very large amount of ammunition has been already , received at Vera Cruz, principally from England, pre paratory to an invasion of Texas. The army destined f;)r the same purpose was slowly increasing by forced recruits. Two new vessels of war, it is also stated, are building in England for the Mexican navy. It was not believed, however, that any demonstration would be wade until spring. LATEST FROM RIO JANEIRO.—By the arrival of the St. Joseph, we have advices from Rio to the 6th of September. The "war between Buenos Ayres and Brasil has commenced in earnest; several skirmishes have taken place on the north side of the La Plate during the march of the Brazilian army towards Monte Video. The Bra zilians will not make so easy a conquest in that quarter as was supposed. The Montevideans have received strong reinforcements from the capital and all the prin cipal towns throughout the Argentine republic. General Paz has left here for Monte Video; a small detachment left a few days before him, under his special command. He will overtake them before they reach Rio Grande, when they will join a force of 12,000 men, and march immediately for the seat of war. SANDWICH ISLANDS.—By three vessels which arrived in the Columbia in May last from Honolulu, accounts were received of great rejoicing in the Islands consequent on the acknowledgment of their independence by the United States and the European powers. LATE FROM BRAZIL.—The schooner Erie from Para, brings intelligence to 18th Oct. Captain Mathews states that the elections for the Natiopal Assembly, had re cently occurred through the Empire. The contest was a very close and energetic one, between the Imperialist, and the opposition party. It was reported in Para, that there had been some serious disturbances in Ceara (a neighbouring province). In the course of the riots and fights, report says that several were killed and wounded by shots fired by the Government troops, and by the rioters. MORMONS.—The Grand Jury have gone through with their labours at Carthage. We learn that some persons have be en i n di cte d f or t h e murder of Joe and Hyrana Smith, and others as accessories. Nine in all were in dicted. It will be recollected that all the county tribe nals and county offices are in the hands of the Mormons or their tools, and the indictments were found upon the testimony of Mormon witnesses. The editor of the Warsaw Signal was one of the persons indicted as a c . cessories. The persons indicted demanded a prompt trial at the same term, but the State was not ready for trial. One Murray M'Connell was present, and was very officious in the business, and much in the jury room ; but whether he was acting as a hireling of the Mormons or as an agent of their friend,Governor Ford, does not appear. It is said that if the votes of the Mormons be not needed in the Presidential election, they would not vote, but reserve their strength to a id th e L ocofocos in some future conflict. Seldom has there been a more flegitious course than that pursued by the Locofoces of Illinois towards the Mormons.—St. Louis New Era, NEW YORK SALE OF STOCKS, Nov. 14. $BOO New York 7s lOB3 10,000 Ohio 7s ..................................... 1)1 34,000 ditto Gs '6O lOO 5,000 Pennsylvani 5s b 2 69 5,000 Illinoi s s p ec i a l 10,000 Illinois Canal 38 5,000 Indiana Bonds 37 100 shares Union Bank 100 North American Trust 50 Illinois State Bank 25 East Boston ............ 9 killed in endeavouring to escape, and another officer, belonging to the Custom-house corps, had met with the same fate.

A letter which we have received from Pampeluna, of the 21st, informs us that the insurrection of the two communes met with no sym pathy from the surrounding valleys, and that the Cap tain-General of Arragon has sent troops in pursuit of the insurgents. On his side, the Captain-General of Navarre has directed a strong detachment on the valley of Roncal, in order to assist in restoring tranquillity. The news of the complete destruction of Zurbano's band will powerfully contribute to enlighten these unfortu nate people, who must have been led astray by false re • presentations." The next scene will be the execution of the un happy victims of a scheme which, from the commence ment, held out no prospects of success. ZUREINO had no wealthy supporters ; he could not bribe as NARYAEZ did ; he had to trust only to the patriotism of the people, but the people rejected him. The following remarks, respecting the schemes of certain Spaniards in Paris, appears in the Presse : " The chiefs of the Progressist and the Ayacucho parties in Paris are preparing a political demonstration, from which they expect great effects. We said, a short time ago, that three Madrid journals, El Expectader, El Clamor Publico, and El Eco del Commereio, had opened a subscription for the persons arrested as participators iu the late affairs of Madrid and Barcelona. At the instigation of the great leader of the party, it was decided that there should be sent to Madrid, to be pub lished in all the journals, a list of subscriptions, con taining the signatures of all the Progressists and Ayacuchos in France ar.d England. This list, which has been circulated with the greatest mystery, has already a large number of signatures. The first name, we are assured, is that of General Espartero." The same journal contains an article on the elec tion of Mr. Pots as President of the United States, and thus expresses satisfaction at the defeat of Mr. CLAY : " That according to the accounts brought by the Great Western, the election of Mr. Polk may be considered as certain. We may be permitted, therefore, to examine its bearing on external as well as on internal affairs. The only question which affects us is whether the ten dency of the new Government will be injurious or ad vantageous to our interests, and in this point of view the defeat of Mr. Clay does not cause us any regret. Whig as he was, he nevertheless laboured hard to procure the adoption by the American union of a system of tariffs from which the manufactures of France suffered severely. If he had succeeded in his election for the President's chair, no doubt the present tariff would have been maintained, and perhaps increased. To speak can didly, we are glad that Mr. Clay and his school have been defeated, since the consequence may be a modification favourable to the trade of our country. Mr. Polk, the future President, appears disposed to reduce the duties we complain of, and therefore Mr. Polk, Radical though he be, is welcome to us. For the same reason his ap pointment will be favourably received in England, be cause the tariff of 1842 is equally injurious to English interests. This satisfaction, however, will be mingled with uneasiness. Mr. Polk is, iu fact, a declared par tisan for the annexing of Texas to the Union. He has likewise declared for the definitive occupation of the Oregon territory by the American forces. But these are two acts against which England has never ceased to protest. Being now masters of the Government, will the democratic party and its representative pursue the plans which they announced during the electoral con test? Will England, on her side, persist in the oppo sition which she manifested at the first declaration of such an intention ? These aro questions which naturally present themselves, and which merit the undivided atten tion of the political world." THE BOURSE--WEDNESDAY, Nor. 27. First Highest Lowest The accounts received from Lebanon describe that country as being the prey to civil war. Tho moun taineers have, as we mentioned two days ago, laid siege to Jerusalem, and the Governor of the place has inti mated to the foreign consuls that ho cannot answer any longer for their safety.— Chronicle. DEWERTIONS.—No fewer than seventeen heads of families have deserted their wives and children in Clerk enwell parish within the last fortnight or three weeks, leaving nearly MO persons chargeable to that parish. The trains of the Great 'Western Railway were on Wednesday last detained for a considerable time, in consequence of the bursting of a spring adjoining the line, in the neighbourhood of Salford, about five miles from Bath. The railway to the extent of a mile and upwards, was for several hours completely covered with water ; workmen were, without lo ss o f ti me, engage d i n securing the sprin g , an d the trains were then enabled to proceed without interruption.—Bristol Gazette. SOtJTIIAMPTON, Nov. 28.-111 a Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived here this day by train, eft route to visit Mr. Sloane Stanley, at Paultons. His Royal Highness will on Saturday proceed to Cadlands, and honour Mr. Drummond with a visit. His Grace the Duke of Rutland arrived here yesterday, and proceeded to Cadlands, where great preparations are being made for the approaching nuptials of the only daughter of Mr. A. Drummond with Mr. Cockrane, M.P. for Bridport. The marriage will take place on the 3d of next month. Sale and family, with Mr. Sturt, arrivedßobert he an rey d es t e ay r d day by railway, for Major Portman's seat near Christchurch, on a visit until Sunday next, when the Gallant General and family will return here to the Royal Hotel, remaining until Tuesday next, when they will embark in the Oriental steam-ship for India. DEPARTURE OF THE GIBRALTAR MAILS.—SOUTII- AmPToN, Nov. 28.—The Pacha, Captain Birnie, steam ship, left the docks at three P.M., taking out the Penin sula and Meditteranean mails, and twenty-fivepassengers —among whom were the Duchess of Manchester and suite, for Lisbon. The ship& Anus, Captain Richards, from Quebec, arrived in the docks at three P.M., this day, with a cargo of deals and timber; she left Quebec on the 23d ult. The captain reports having experienced very I bad weather in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Madrid journals of the 21st instant give reports of the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies, which show that even the Members take no interest in the discussions. Not more than sixty were present when the clause declaring the Senate elective was adopted. No positive information respecting ZURBANO had been received by the Government. The capital was perfectly tranquil, and the funds remained firm. The Three per Cents. closed at 283- for cash, and 281 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 204 at 60 days; the Floating Debt at 653-, at 59 days; the Coupons at 25i for cash ; and the Debt without In-1 terest at 6 for cash, and 6 3-32 at 60 days. The accounts in the Paris papers, as well as those published near the scene of action, leave no doubt that the attempt of ZUBBANO to raise an insurrection in the north of Spain had completely failed. His followers were completely dispersed on the 19th or 20th inst., and ZURBANO himself escaped, but one of his sons, a youth only twenty-three years of age, big father-in-law, and several others fell into the hands of the QUEEN'S troops.

BRITISH ALMANAC AND COMPANION, - 1845.—We can add little to our former remarks on the excellent manner in which this almanac is arranged, and the great variety of useful information contained in the ninety-six pages of which it consists. It is as usual beautifully printed. The Companion this year has several important articles connected with general in formation on subjects of Mathematics, Natural His tory, Philosophy, Chronology, Statistics, &c. Among others we direct attention to " Occupations of the People," " Statistics of crime for Eng land and Wales," " Railways of Great Britain," and " Railways in Belgium." Under the head of "Public Improvements" will he found some interesting details of the principal buildings in progress or finished during the last year, both in London and the provincial towns. The writer, in describing the Royal Exchange, pays the following compliment to Mr. The :—" The Royal Exchange is an honour to the City, one of the noblest public monuments in the metropolis, or, we might say, the noblest which the present age has yet produced in its full complete." There is a little elegant sketch of the building, with sketches also of the Conservative Club, St. James's street, the New Guildhall, Bristol, &c. " We have received intelligence from Bayonne, which gives as p os iti ve t h e arrest of the son, and father-in-law of Zurbano, who accompanied him in his enterprise. Both were taken on the night of the 20th, near the ELFro, at the moment they were seeking to pass the river, in 50 ditto dividend 4 i Morris Canal b 3 34 6 Mohawk, RR. 101 Stoliington 4si 300 Long Lsland . 76 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORE NG, NOVEMBER 30, 184 k. 63 50 39i 77 50 Harlem . 125 Reading RR. .... 50 Housatonic RR. . 50 Nor. and Wor SECOND BOARD. 50 shares Canton 25 shares Stouington 44 50 State Bank 50 Long Island b3o 75 100 Farmers' Trust 125 shares Nor, and Wor 741 25 East Boston AT THE PUBLIC STOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 14 , 50 shares Dry Dock s6o 69 25 Morris Canal b3O 36 25 Long Island Railroad 75 Nor, and Wor. c 76i 100 Cant9n nor sup 48 25 Mohawk Railroad 50 llarlem t w 68 TUE MARKET, Nov. 14.—The sales of Cotton are 600 bales.

The duties on importation and exportation remain as they have been for some weeks past. The Chamber of Representatives yesterday adopted the project of law relative to corn, by a majority of 66 to 3. Three members declined voting. The Chamber then commenced the general debate on the budget of ways and means. The Senate will meet on Thursday, the sth of December. We lately mentioned that a Prussian writer had taken refuge in Belgium. The following are some new parti culars respecting the motives of the proceedings against him : " Charles Heintz, a very distinguished young student at Cologne, lately published, at Berlin, a book, under the title of " Bureaveratie Prussienne," which, exceeding 20 printed sheets, was not liable to the censorship. He has been summoned to appear before the Tribunal of the First Instance at Berlin, to answer to the accusation of having ridiculed the institutions of the kingdom. " As M. Heintz did not obey this summons, but took refuge in Belgium, the tribunal at Berlin has issued a writ to arrest him, and has caused a description of his person to be printed and posted up everywhere. " This last measure, which has hitherto been used only against robbers and assassins, but never against political writers, has excited a great sensation." The eclipse of the moon on Sunday evening last was not seen at Brussels, the sky being covered with thick clouds. The celebrated Russian General, Yermolof, died lately at St. Petersburgh. Russia has lost within a short period four distinguished Generals —Tolstoy, Renckendorf, Es sen, and Yermolof. ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 6.—Fresh troubles are said to have broken out in Syria. Travellers state that Jeru salem is invested by an Arab Sheik, who, with his horde, infests the road from Jaffa to the holy city. We expect in a few days positive confirmation on this subject, which I will send you in my next. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.

There has not yet been any information that can be relied upon with respect to the probable recovery of the notes, &c., stolen from the banking firm of Messrs. Rogers and Co. It is said that at an interview which Daniel Forrester had last evening with the firm. facts were communicated which lead to a sanguine expec tation that the property will soon be recovered. The notice. which was issued late yesterday after noon at the Bank of England, announcing the intention of the Directors to make advances of money upon ap proved securities at 2} per cent., was not unexpected in many influential quarters ; as from previous circum stances that have occurred, it is clear that in the "bank. ing department" a strong competition has been com menced by the Corporation with the private bankers of the City of London. It is, however, feared in many quarters, that this continued l ow ra t e o f i n t erest b y an establishment having the power to put on the screw at pleasure may lead to many disasters in the commercial world, and hence a certain amount of dispraise is ex. pressed at the small amount to be charged on advances made by the Bank of England, although it should be borne in mind that in September the Bank took bills at 21 per cent. There is some anxiety felt for the arrival of the letters and papers brought by the Hibernia steamer from Halifax and Boston, which by the accounts received from Liverpool, was in sight of port when the mail left yes terday. No doubt there will come to hand the missing mail from Canada. The result of the election for Pre sident of the United States will be fully established by this arrival. The settlement of the Account in the Foreign market, has somewhat checked speculation in the English Funds. Consols for the Account opened at 101 i-, but they are now a shade lower—viz., at 101, and for Money at 1001. The Commissioners bought about 15,000/. Stock to-day, in Reduced Three per Cents. at par, and Three-and•a- Quarter per Cents. at 1021. Bank Stock has advanced to 207, and India Stcck at 288. Exchequer Bills are rather higher than they opened i n the morning. The Account in the Foreign market has so far well gone off. Spanish Actives have been sold at 244, and the Three per Cents. at 85i Belgian and Dutch Stocks are firm. Mexicans are are at 36 for Money, and the Portuguese Converted at 551- for the Account. Not much business has been done in the Railway Share this morning. Prices have not varied much. PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)
