~4 4 • rzt.- LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1850, Why is it that the Papal Government has, in Ire ', and, prohibited a system of education similar to that which it has permitted and sanctioned in France t In other words, why is it that it endeavours to usurp an authority in a Protestant, which it does not venture to assert in a Itomzn Catholic country ? The question is one of considerable importance, deserving a cate gorical answer. Sir ROBERT KANE, in his admirable eddress on the opening of the second session of the Qaeen's College, Cork, to which we have recently alluded, has shown that there is not a single provi sion in the French educational law, passed during the present year, which the means and rules of edu cation existing in Ireland do not fully secure. The French law is, to all intents and purposes, one of united education. The State has necessarily a great interest, an influential voice in the management of these establishments, lent it has no separate or ex clusive authority. In the council there are four Roman Catholic bishops, but there are two Protestant ministers, and—even going further than we do—one Jewish Rabbi. There is nothing forced upon children to which their parents, of any creed, could object. but each student can receive instruction in those general branches of education of which all can ap prove. " The principle of mixed education is," to use the eloquent language of Sir R. KANE, " con ceded from the Rhine to the Pyrenees," and this with the full assent of the Court of Rome. "The Voice from the Vatican" declared that, "although the new law might n o t b e every thi ng th at t h e Ch urc h might. wish, it was yet a great improvement upon the preceding state of education, and that the bishops and clergy ought to give it co• operation, and ought to avail themselves of all the means they acquired under it for promoting piety and religion." How different was this from the course pursued in Ireland? Could it be said with the slightest ap pearance of truth, that the system introduced ;y the new colleges was not a great improve. event on the preceding state of education ? Certainly not—not even "Joule of Tuam" himself could dare to assert the contrary. But yet we find the same authority denouncing the system in one country of which it approved in another, where it might be supposed to have much greater influence and weight in the national councils—the same " Voice from the Vatican," declaring that the Irish colleges " will prove detrimental to religion by reason of their grave and intrinsic dangers," warn ing the bishops of Ireland "to have no share in carrying out their establishment," and proclaiming that "it is not lawful for other ecclesiastical per sona to discharge any function having refer ence to the said colleges ; 11 while in France it calls 1 upon " the bishops and clergy to give the new law co-operation, and to avail themselves of all the means they acquired under it for promoting piety and religion." These are strange inconsistencies, but, un fortunately, no less true than strange. The Papal Court is manifestly blowing " hot and cold," approv ing in one country what it prohibits in another—de nouncing in Ireland what it deliberately sanctions in France and Belgium. Why then, we again ask, does the Postner endeavour to usurp an authority in the British dominions which he does not claim in the republic of France or the kingdom of Belgium ? There is but one answer that can be returned, one mode of accounting for this extraordinary proceeding. The United Kingdom is wholly unrepresented at the Papal Court. We have no minister or envoy to remonstrate at any undue assumption of authority, to protest against any act of aggression, and to exhibit the just indignation of the British Government. Our own absurd jealousy has prevented us from obtaining the legitimate influence at the Vatican to which the power and importance of Great Britain and its un questionable weight in the scale of nations would otherwise entitle it. We recognise the Sultan of TURKEY, the Schah of PERSIA, Mahommedane, or Fire-worshippers, or Pagans of any description may be directly negotiated with; but we cannot have a representative at Rome. The POPE is the only temporal sovereign with whom we are by Act of Parliament prohibited from maintaining amicable relations. He has nothing to lose if he should dis please our Government, and nothing to gain if he should be disposed to conciliate ; neither hope nor fear can influence his actions. But are we not our selves in some degree to blame for this untoward state of affairs ? If in private life you exhibit a con• start and unceasing suspicion, an unreasoning an tipathy against an individual, you cannot reasonably hope to avoid acts of retaliation on his part—be will, in all human probability, endeavour to justify, or rather to give you cause for, your bad opinion ; and the same result will follow among nations, if a similar course be pursued. We assume an attitude of hostility against the Papal Court why should we be surprised because it takes up a si milar position ? If amicable relations were subsisting between England and Rome, would any of the three grave acts of aggression, committed within a single year, have been attempted ? Would the prelates and clergy of the Irish Roman Catholic Church have been insulted by the appointment of an Italian priest (and we look upon the Rev. PAUL CULLEN as little better) to the highest station in that Church ? That was but the introduction of the point of the wedge, which will on a future occasion be driven home, until there will not be a single Roman Catholic prelate in Ire land owing allegiance to the throne of England. They do not act in this manner in other coun tries. In Russia, for instance, although the AUTO CRAT is not in communion with the Church of Rome, he still nominate the'prelates of that Church throughout his dominions. There is undoubtedly, by a species of pious fraud, an appearance of free will, as much as there is in the deans and chapter of our cathedral churches in the election of bishops. In the latter case the QUEEN issues a conga d'elire under the great seal, recommending a certain individual, and the quasi electors incur all the penalties of a prcemunire if they do not select the fortunate indi vidual. In the other, the EMPEROR also recommends an individual to the POPE, and the Former, "that the Catholics of the country may not be persecuted . ' (be it remembered this is the reason assigned by Archbishop MURRAT), " appoints the individual so recommended." Again, we are justified in assuming from what has occurred in France, that there would have been no undue interference with the system of education sanctioned by the National Legislature ; nor would there have been the parcelling out of England into ecclesiastical districts, the conferring, of . power and authority within these realms contrary to the express wish and desire of the Government and people of the country, by a foreign potentate. Most certainly not. We were formerly told by the most unexceptionable witnesses, whose testimony was given on behalf of, and adopted by the Roman Catholics of Ireland, " that the decrees of Popes were not now considered obligatory unless when sanctioned by the civil authority." But how can we reconcile that statement with the passage in the synodical address, which, speaking of the Papal re script, declares, " all controversy is now at an end —the judge has spoken—the question is decided ?" It is impossible, then, not to perceive that the Papal Court has, since its return to the Vatican, assumed a new policy with respect to England and Ireland, and put forward claims which, if they ever existed, had long been suspended. Dr. DOYLE, the celebrated Roman Catholic Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, de clared in his evidence that the Irish Prelates " were not less jealous cf the interference of the PorE " than of the Crown of England. He said, "We are zealous for the independence of our church, and we do not like that the PorE should in terfere with it beyond what is necessary for preserving the Catholic communion." We trust that a similar spirit of independence may now he exhibited by the Roman Catholics of England and Ireland, that they will assert their rights as free born citizens, and not surrender their unquestionable rights and privileges on the most sacred point—the education of their children—at the dictation of any man or holy of men ; if they do so they will no longer be freemen, but slaves—they will recognize a despotic authority absolutely inconsistent with liberty. In resisting this unwise and impolitic as sumption of power, they will not be rebelling against the authority which they have ever recog nizsd, but against its undue extension to points to which, for ages past, it has never even been attempted to be pushed. We look to the good sense and judg ment of the Roman Catholics themselves for the pre servation of their nationality, and the defeat of these daring attempts at their subjugation. Recently we took occasion to suggest the immediate removal of certain eyesores and blemishes at present existing very prominently in our metropolis. We argued for their instant dissipation with a view to improve the aspect of the British capital before the commencement of next year's Exhibition. Among these proposed innovations it can scarcely be forgotten by our readers that we especially particularised the termination of that disgrace ful system which has established money takers at the porches of our great ecclesiastical edi fices, and transformed the dean, the prebendaries, the minor canons, and the canons residentiary of our cathedrals into so many barefaced twopenny showmen 1 Against this miserable and degrading practice we ourselves, in common with the majority of our brethren of the press, have inveighed again and again, as against a system disgraceful to the Church Establishment, destructive to the beneficent influence otherwise exercised by the hallowed precincts of those abodes of religion, and derogatory in the very uttermost degree to that simplicity and sanc tity which should ever seem at least to invest those divine and consecrated palaces of Christianity. Hitherto we have sedulously availed ourselves of every opportunity presented to us of arguing for the abolition of a scheme so pernicious in its operation and so repul sive in its character. We have insisted that in its removal we recognize prospects advantageous to the cause of general morality—seeing that the systems of religion would thereby become in some measure popularised, or would at any rate be relieved from charges baneful to it in the national estimation. N ever has this conviction of the good likely to accrue from the proposed alteration been so forcibly impressed upon our judgment as at the present moment, when the country is awaiting the approach of intelligent travellers from all the corners of Christendom, and when moreover in consequence of that unusual influx of foreigners the institutions and customs of our people will be subjected to the closest and the most rigorous ninthly. By abolishing the plan heretofore adopted more or ins in all our cathedral establish ments, both provincial and metropolitan, we should be at once ameliorating our own condition as a Christian community and depriving our visitors of a fruitful subject of scorn and animadversion. Upon every previous occasion the Deans and Canons of our Cathedrals have remained imperturbably in different to all, even the most earnest appeals, blind to arguments the most self-evident, and deaf to en treaties the most fervent and reiterated. Now-a-days, after many grievous disappointments, and with the prospect before our eyes of having to undergo in many respects such a minute and searching criti cism,we are disposed to throw aside all idle consideration for the feelings of men who have shown themselves all along utterly and irremediably careless of the feelings of the whole population. Consequently, in stead of directing public indignation against them abstractedly as a body corporate, we would now hold these reverend personages up to the observation of the multitude in their own individual characters, trusting that at least the mere dictates of shame may have some influence over their councils, if those of con science and propriety have hitherto proved ineffectual. Turning, then, to the arch offenders against public decency in this particular, turning to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral, we would point to the members of that ecclesiastical establishment as to the prominent originators of this great and crying evil. Instead of doing as heretofore, we would now specify their names and titles in succession, so that the people may know who are, in point of fact, these twopenny showmen of the cathedral. We speak no longer inferentially ; we are long since tired of that. Oar arguments have been so pertinaciously disregarded that we content ourselves, at length, with exposing the evil by means of a few plain statements. Foremost among these we would mention the fact that the following is a catalogue of the reverend gen tlemen who are acting as THE TWOPENNY SHOWMEN OF ST. PAUL'S: H. H. Milman, Dean. W. H. Hale, Canon Residentiary. Thomas Dale, Canon Residentiary. J. Endell Tyler, Canon Residentiary. H. Montagu Villiers, Canon Residentiary. Thomas G. Hall, Prebendary. R. W. Browne, Prebendary. Thomas Robinson, Prebendary. Henry Venn, Prebendary. Thomas Hartwell Horne, Prebendary. Thomas Boyles Murray, Prebendary. Alexander M•Caul, Prebendary. H. H. Norris, Prebendary. Richard Harvey, Prebendary. James J. Round, Prebendary. Derwent Coleridge, Prebendary. R. G. Baker, Prebendary. Thomas Henderson, Prebendary. C. 13. Dalton, Prebendary. John Smith, Prebendary. G. Randolph, Prebendary. W. A. SOULDCS, Prebendary. J. w. Vivian, Minor Canon. W. J. Hall, Senior Cardinal and Minor Canon. E. J. Beckwith, Succeutor and Minor Canon. J. T. Bennett, Warden and Minor Canon. J. Y. Povab, Divinity Lecturer and Minor Canon. J. H. Coward, Epistolan and Minor Canon. W. Calvert, Gospeller and Minor Canon. From this time forth the public cannot remain in ignorance as to who are the offenders in this particular. The above list contains the names of those individuals who have so long disgraced the sacred cause of reli gion by affording their sanction to the continuance of " the money-changers in the Temple!" Further we need not go at present. The community will not remain indifferent to the force of the foregoing catalogue. They can draw from it their own very emphatic conclusions. All we are solicitous about just now is, that if only for a time, say during the days of the Exhibition, the system of extorting halfpence at the doom of our cathedrals shall be discontinued, so that English customs should not in this particular be so terribly disgraced in the eyes of so many intel• ligent foreigners. Can nothing be done by the paro chial or municipal authorities to force this conces sion at least from the Dean, the Prebendaries, the Minor Canons, and the Canons Residentiary ? Acting in accordance with their old and immemorial customs, they will of course be unwilling to forego the chance of such a rich harvest of copper coin likely to be gathered from the sight-seers of 1851—but we mean even in that regard might not some satisfactory arrangement be come to in reference to the temporary cessation of the existing system, viewing it simply (0, shame that we should have to say it !) as a merely mercantile transaction ? THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. All Saints' Day was observed as a holiday, conse quently none of the journals, with the exception of the Republique, were published on Saturday. " It is positively stated," says the Journal des Di bats, " that General NEUMAYBR has written to the Minister of War to say that he cannot accept the new appointment just conferred on him. If this news be confirmed we should, for our parts, regret this deter mination of the honourable General, as his refusal would lead the world to believe in the prolongation of a crisis which has so deeply afflicted all good citiz'lls, and which has for the last two days been looked on as happily terminated." The Ordre has the following on the subject of the examination cf M. BAROCIIE before the Committee of Permanence on the subject of the removal of General NI UMAYER from the garrison of Paris:— "The Minister was interrogated five timer (before the Psrliamentaty Committee) r n the sufj, et of the political cause to whtcn the revecati na of General do N. um:yer was publicly attributed, or rather be was invited in the most precise manner to declare if it was true or not, that the commander of the first military division had been revoked because ho had enunciated personally an advice condemnatory of cries by soldiers under arms, and the Minister, wo repeat, refused obstinately to give any reply. Nor was the committee in the least astoeished. Nor do we allege it as a crime against M. Laroche. He would not tell a lie : voila tout. Ilis silence was an avowal. How could he, forsooth, contradict a fact which is not only true, but which has been at different times attested to General Neumayer by the Minister of War himself in presence of a witness whose word would not be questioned. This fact we were the first to affirm; we affirm it again, and we protest beforehand against the imposture or the error of whoever would dare to deny it; we sly, moreover, that such imposture, however well calculated, would be vain, for it would be exposed on the first public debate that should take place." This account is by M. DE CHAMBOLLE, himself a member of the Committee, and therefore likely to be well informed with regard to all that passed. The Prefect of Police, however, M. CARLIER, addressed a summons to the gerant of the Ordre to insert a con tradiction of the statements which had appeared in that journal on the subject of the removal of General NEUMAYER, and to that summons M. DE CIIAM- BdLLE replies as follows The personal fact regarding General Neumayer— and it is a grave one—is recalled in the article in which you find yourself alluded to. Do you meet it with a de negation? If you say yea, I will then answer that it is your denegation which is false. I will maintain that no other explanation than that Oven by the Or dre can be honestly sustained. I will affirm that the Minister of the Interior did not dare to contradict it before the Par liamentary Committee. I will add that if it is contested nt the tribune it will be confirmed by such testimony as to remove all shadow of doubt." The same journal gives the following account of the manner in which General NEUMATER acted en receiving the announcement of his removal from Paris to Rennes : " General Neumayer is witheut fortune. The blow which has been levelled at him so unjustly, if it does not deprive himself of the means of existence, yet, does it, at least, affect the prospects of his wife and family. On this account it was, that when ho thought appearances saved by the ordinance in the Moniteur, he felt painful hesitation. In the meantime his brother-in law the Commandant Trochin consulted his sister, and soon after haling the noble woman by the hand, fol lowed by her two children, he presented himself to the General, saying—‘You have been placed between a question of interest and a question of honour, the advice of your family is, that you ought not to hesitate.' C'est Lien, replied the worthy seldier---‘ You have compre hended me, itis on their account, that, in fact, I did admit a moment's hesitation,' and he immediately wrote a letter of refusal to the Minister of War." How the proposed removal of General NEUMATEIt from Paris to Rennes (for, be it remembered, he is not dismissed but promoted) could injuriously affect him in a pecuniary point of view, as stated by the °rdr very clearly appear, seeing that th e rank toe' does which t p not was appointed was hi g h er t h an t h e rank he held in Paris, the emoluments greater, and the expenses less ; it is those, therefore, who induced him to refuse the command at Rennes, who are re sponsible for any injurious consequences to the pro spects of his wife and family which may arise, and not the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who appears to be justified in taking steps to reduce the un constitutional, anomalous, and dictatorial power of CRANGARNIER, who seems anxious to ex ploiter all parties for the sake of his own personal ambition. It strikes us, however, that M. BAROCIIE was much to blame if he gave any pledge, as alleged, to the Committee of Pertnan6nce that the removal of General NELuay.ta should be an isolated act; if it is an isolated act, it is worse than a fault, worse even than an ordinary mistake, it is a stupendous blunder, as it will irritate, without essentially weakening, CIIANGARNIER and the I3ourbonists. It; however, it is the first of a series of well considered acts for breaking down the power of the would-be dictator, and for ultimately depriving him of the com mend of the army of Paris, then it is a bold first step in a justifiable course of policy, which will he successful in exact proportion to the fidelity of the PRESIDENT to the Constitution and the Republic ; in the meantime, it is abundantly evident that the split between the Orleanists and the Bonapartists is as complete as that between the latter and the Legiti matists. A complete reconciliation has been brought about between the PRESIDENT and the other members of the Bonaparte family by the good offices of his cousin the Prince of CANINO. A letter from Brest of the 20th ult. announces the arrival there of the Hercules and Jupiter ships of the line, belonging to the squadron which sailed from Cherbourg under the command of Admiral PARKE VAL DESCHENES.

The Pru'sian Staats Anzeiger, of the 31st ult., states that in the conferences at Warsaw Austria has accepted four of the propositions of Count BRANDEN BURG, and has rejected two. One of the latter is the demand of Prussia that for the future the Presidency of the empire should be held alternately by the Em peror of AUSTRIA and the King of PRUSSIA, and which was supported by the Emperor of RUSSIA. The other proposition relates to the place of meeting of the two powers for the free conferences. Prussia proposes Dresden, and Austria Vienna. Accounts from Frankfort of the 31st ult. state that the Austrian and Bavarian troops have received formal orders from Vienna and Munich not to pass the frontier of Electoral Hesse. BOSNIA. A telegraphic dispatch reached Vienna on the 29th ult., from the frontiers of Bosnia, announcing that for the last two days that province had been in a state of open insurrection against OMER PACHA. Throughout the 28th a loud cannonade was heard. OSMOR Bar is at the head of the insurrection. Two battalions, composed mainly of Ilungarian refugees, attend him as a body guard. ITALY. Letters from Rome state that a company of Ponti fical soldiers were recently ordered to Sinigaglia, to replace a company of Austrian soldiers, who had re cently taken their departure. The Pontifical soldiers, on their entrance into the town, were greeted by the inhabitants with the cry of " Viva the Italians!" to which they responded by the same cries. The in habitants and the soldiers at once fraternised, the cry of " Viva the Republic ! " was raised by the citizens and taken up by the soldiers, who placed their shakos on their bayonets, and entered the city amidst shouts of " Viva 'the Republic!" Two days after a strong corps of Croats took possession of Sinigaglia di,armed the Pontifical EA : diers and placed them under arrest. Sinigaglia is the birthplace of the POPE and the seat of the family of the MAsz.us. This occurrence has occasioned the moat intense excitement in Rome. The Parina Gazette publishes a ducal decree of the 22i ult., declaring the citadel of Parma a fortress, and forbidding henceforward the raising of buildings, planting of trees, or digging of canals or ditches within 335 metres of it. Chevalier SPONTINI, the celebrated composer, ar rived at iesi, his birthplace, on the 12th ult. The municipal council and the principal authorities of the town went out, in pro cession to meet him. In the evening the theatre was illuminated, a cantata was sung in his honour, and a flattering address presented to hi:n on the part of the town. On the following day Cardinal Carol - , Bishop of lesi, invi'ad him to a splendid dinner with the principal nobility of the piece. These marks of public respect are chic fly owing to the mu nificent acts of Chevalier SPONTINI, who is the founder in that town of a Monte tic Piete, an hospital for the aged and disabled, schools for poor females, and se veral new professorships. The Venerable Archdeacon Spooner has called a meeting of the clergy of the Archdeaconry of Coventry to be held at the King's Head Hotel, in that city, on Wednes day next, to deliberate on the steps to be taken in conse quence of the intrusion into this diocese of a Roman Catholic Bishop of Birmingham. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITLI THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—We believe we may announce that the Screw Steam Shipping Company's first steamer, carrying the royal mail from this country to the Cape of Goad Hope, will leave England on the 16th December next. The mails will be made up i n the 15th, of ea c h mont h. Thi s li ne o f steam communication will connect Great Britain with St. Vincent (Cape de Verd Islands), Sierra Leone, and the Cape. The company who have taken the Government contract, having already tested the powers of their screw steamers upon the London and Mediterranean route, have so much confidence in them that they undertake to d e li ver t h e ma il s at t h e C ape i n 34 days from England. The advantages which this cer tainty of postal communication must produce are obvious, and we anxiously hope the expectations of the directors may be realised. 15 I 11 6 8; 100 I 12 15 4 1 20 100 100 42 29 16 0 100 47% 2 12 0 STEAM BST WREN LIVERPOOL, SOUTHAMPTON, AND aiicenn Steam connexion Company with tf,ie will British callish Havoz. - We have it in our power to state, th a t ea r ly in th e spring of next year the steam-ships in the trade between aLnisd-exrpoorotlhaAndm H er a c v a r n e, running jto3,alv i in at Southampton.

THE LATE MURDER AT HAVERFORDWEST.—The authorities of this town are by no means satisfied with the result of the coroner's inquest on the body of Elizabeth Bar nard, who died at Havertordwest on the Bth ult., after lin gering for two days and nights from the effects of wilful vio lence inflicted upon her by some person or persons unknown. The matter, we understand is still to undergo a searching investigation: A reward of 501. has been offered to any person who will give such information and evidence as shall lead to the discovery and conviction of the murderer or murderers of this unfortunate woman. The reward is made up of the following Elllll5 : 201. from her Majesty's Go vernment, 20/. from the Ha verfordwest Soci ety for the De tection of Felonies, 101. from the Ma y or and C o rporation of Havertordwest, and Sir Georg e Gre y has p r o mi sed to ad vise p l ice the, not grantbei being of her t h ellt persona jesty who actually committ e d th e a gracious pardon to an seem murder, who shall give such information as will lead to the like results. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARA N C E. —The neighbour hood of Blockley and Moreton - i n-Marsh, in Wor cestershire, and on the borders of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, is in a state of considerable excitement in consequence of the sudden disappearance of Mr. George Gardiner, who for the last fifteen years has held the responsible situation of bailiff, or steward, to Lord Northwick. At first it was feared that his disappearance had been involuntary, and accompanied with violence; but after inquiry there is found to be too much reaso to believe that he has premediatedly decamped with a laresum of money belonging to his noble employer. It appears that on the last day on which he was seen in the neighbourhood he called upon Mr. K ettle, an attor ney , of Chipping Campden, near Blockley , and delivered in to his hancs a pa c k e t, d es i r ing him to keep it in safe custody for a short time until he saw him ( Gardiner) again. At the time of his disapp earan ce Lord Northwic k was staying at Cheltenham, and on being communicat ed with he w ent over to Blockle t and then the rumcur of the steward's a bsence came to the e ars o f Mr. Kettle. That g entle man at once Y proceeded to have an interview with his Lordship, t a ki ng with him the parcel which had been left in his care, and which on bei ng o p ene d w as found to contain his books of than account of farmi ng transactions, sa les of stock, &c., as be tween Gardiner and his Lordship. It app e ared by these books that a ll entr i es of sums received by Gardiner for farm ing produce, &c., ceased with the month of A p ril last, an d as the tran sac ti ons h ave b een considerable, the defalcation of the absent ee i s es ti mate d a t b e tween 2,000 1 . and 3,000 /.

The sales comprised 4,000 American. 250 Pur nem and Maranhatn at 7Ad. to 80., 250 Egyptian at Bd. to 100., and 500 Sand at 51(1. to Sid. per lb. The market closed heavily and without alteration of price.— Railway Shares were dull and prices on the drchne. In Mark-lane to-day Wheat was at barely previous rates, the supply being large. A petition to the Customs, very numerously signed by ,the manufacturers in the port of London, has been pre sented, praying for a discontinuance of sales of illicit to bacco, and it is more than probable, that the strong claims set forth will receive the favourable consideration of the Board. The French Government will receive tenders, on the 20th January next, for the following qualities of To bacco:— 1,800,003 kilogrammes Kentucky,of the crops of 1849 and 1850 1,400,000 n Virginia, n 1849 „ 1850 1,4C0,000 „ Maryland, /9 1849 „ 1850 400,000 „ Macelonia, „ 1849 „ 18:0 100,000 „ flavannah, „ 1850 „ 1851 60,000 „ Java n 1850 60,0U0 „ Brazil ft 1851 Jamaica accounts of October lath via the United States, mention that cholera had appeared at Kingston. In Barbadoes the weather had been intensely hot, but the prospects of the new crop were encouraing. Great activity prevailed throughout the island. At Demerara the weather was good. The steamer from America gives New York letters of October 23d. The latest estimates of the Cotton crop is 2,030,000 bales. Bills in London were in demand at 10i and 11 per cent, premium. Money was in more request for commercial purposes, although not tight. Not a great deal had been done in stocks. The advises from Canada state that the colony was exceedingly prosperous, and landed property was in- creasing greatly in value. At Montreal an active trade was doing in hardware. Ashes were in good demand. In freights very little was doing, shippers refusing to pay the rates asked. From Yucatan papers it would appear that the belligerent parties in Yucatan, instead of ceasing, have recommenced hostilities with the utmost rigour. The Indians in the interior have again attacked the Spaniards, and driven them from several towns; indeed, from what we can learn they have now risen with re. newed determination, so that, as far as we can foresee, the prospects for peace are further off than ever, and we apprehend that that country will now become the arena for similar strife and turmoil which has before torn up the different States of Central America. The Indians being so much more numerous than the Spaniards, they must inevitably gain the ascendancy if they persevere, despite the assistance rendered the Spaniards by foreigners. The Californian news is interesting. There had been a monetary convulsion, but it soon subsided. Mining operations were continued with success. By the arrival of her Majesty's packet Penguin, we have advices of Sept. 10 from Rio de Janeiro. The rate of exchange on England had risen to 28id. to 29d., with a good deal doing. Stock was at 841. to 85. The sup ply of Coffee was larger, and an extensive business had been done. In imports there was less doing, but the arrivals were more limited. Political affairs were tran quil, and the public health was better. From Pernam buco we learn that the new crop of sugar, which might be expected in very early, promised to be a large one. Exchange on London 2S d. per milrea. The Buenos Ayres advices are not of later date. Further difficulties appear to have occurred in Nica ragua, and the version of them by an American jour nalist fixes, of course, all possible blame upon the resi dent British envoy. The Continental advices are of no commercial interest. The English Funds are very steady this morning, but have not rallied upon Saturday's quotations. Consols have been 97/t 4 for Transfer, and 97i for Account. The news of General Changarnier's order to the army has rather corbel the market, which had previously an upward tendency. The New Three•and-a•Quarter per rents. have been 98 i i to j, and the Three per Cents. 96i Bank Stock has been marked 213 i, a further im provement of 1. Exchequer-bills have been 675. to 705., and India Bonus 87s. to 90s. premium. Consols now are 97ij aga . in for Transfer, and 97-a for Dteembrr. Foreign Securities have been very steady. Mexican Bonds have realiz.d 31i to 32, Grenada 18k, Chilian 1024-, and Venezuela 32. Spanish Three Fir Cents. have Wen 39k, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 34. The accounts from Lisbon are not of particular political inte rest, but a new loan is said to have been concluded for 100,000/ Russian Four-and a-Half per Cents. have been 9611 to 97, and Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Ceti's. 57 to 58. Railway Shares are rather buoyant, and with a fair bibiness. ONE L'ILICES OF BEITI3EI I'UNDA O'CLOCK. CLOSING PRICES. 214 96% 97 6 98% ans. Mock 3 per Cent. Ramat' Anns. 3 per Cont.
