We now some to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." it is an historical fact, that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess, therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets quite In a frizede, and Lord Burleigh the shakes his head but there's nothing in that, whatever th e y may say to contrary. It is an historical tact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE is introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal Ruff ! ! the Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat !! ! will make their first appearance en any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of a British Public." These are followed by GOOD QUEEN BESS en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Hampton Court. —What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen GOOD QUEEN BESS In all her royal sple.,dour.—it is an Historical Fact, that Good Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so that } she e d it scarcely knew upon wh i ch t o deckle"— is an Historical Fact that the following w THEE of them.

And so they do. KENILWORTH CASTLE As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit. For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and " paid the piper."

THE SUN, clamorous. the contumelies of the jealous, with the aspersions of the anarchical, or, it may be, and too frequently has been, with the dungeon, and the rack, and the scaffold of the tyrannous. With the poet again, the ineffable joys of his sensibility are mostly allied with those concomitants of imagination—poverty and phy sical suffering—his body wrung by the torments of disease or by the horrible anticipations of some in curable calamity, his soul agonized by those mani fold and multiform grievances which are the children of penury. With the public benefactor, moreover, the exultation of success is clouded by the practical forgetfulness of all but posterity. NAPOLEON de ceived at Waterloo, CESAR stabbed at the base of romrEv's pillar, are the most memorable instances of the vicissitudes befalling great conquerors. TELL tortured by GESLER, BONNITARD confined at Chilon, are the most terrible examples of the miseries awaiting every brilliant exhibition of patriotism. MILTON oppressed with blindness, OTWAY stran gled in the crisis of inanition, are the evidences of poetical misfortune, such as are the least likely, amidst all the records of intellect, to be overlooked or forgotten. Deeply and profoundly are we grieved to add to this melancholy catalogue the name of Lieutenant WAGHORN, as affording a token of the ordinary return made by the world at large to its most illustrious benefactors. When the biography of this very remarkable man comes to be written, it will be seen how noble were his efforts to advance the interests of his brother men, how effectual were his exertions to forward the cause of civilization, and how unutterably base and paltry was the recognition of his great services by the com munity whose prosperity he had principally advanced. Having exhausted his fortune, having squandered the bloom and ripeness of his years upon a scheme calculated to benefit Europe, and Asia, and more especially England, beyond all our capabilities cf estimation—he was, at the moment when his splendid projects had arrived at their final realization, abandoned to anxieties and difficultieo, the mere recollection of which should excite senti ments of remorse in the bosoms of the multitude. It is a reflection disgraceful to the country, and more particularly to the Company, that this eminent Englishman had drawn only one quarter's instalrne: t of a miserably small pension when he departed from an existence fraught to him with so much bodily pain, and so many pecuniary misfortunes. Gifted at first with a frame as robust as his mind was clear, and as his faculties were inventive, Lieutenant WAGHORN undermined the vigour of his constitu Lion by the toils of his self-imposed enterprise, and found in the ingratitude of those whom he had served the most conspicuously, the means of filling the hours of his highest achievements with the lowliest and most harrowing of regrets. To our selves the chief cause for sorrow in this matter at the present moment—now that the woes of his latter days have terminated, now that we may say cf him as [(ENT says of LEAR— " After lito's fitFul fever he sleeps well"— to us, we say, that the cMef cause for sorrow in his premature dissolution, is the knowledge that Ids widow is left entirely without provision. lie who has opened the broadest and nobl-.::t channel ever opened for the ebb and of commerce has been compelled to leave the world without resigning into the hands of Lis beloved reliet the petty produce of his life of heroic achievements. Justice, nay, we should say, the commonest feelings of gratitude require that this crying wrong should not be permitted to exist even so long as the grave of the departed benefactor of England and Europe yawns for the reception of his ashes. Let the word be spoken, let the decree be written by the Company and by the Government, which shall, by a tardy re,- cognition of great services, appease the manes of the deceased. Until this be done we shall continue THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Lord BROUGHAM left Cannes on th e sth for Paris. The Marquis of NORMANDY had an interview with the PRESIDENT of the Republic on Tuesday, which lasted two hours.

The trial of SARAH DRAKE, the unfortunate woman who recently murdered her child, LEWIS DRAKE, at the house of her employer, No. 33, Upper Harley-street, bas terminated in an acquittal, on the ground of " temporary insanity." This result is more extraordinary, as no particle of evidence was produced to show the state of her mind, either be fore or subsequent to the fatal act. It was not even asserted that she had at any former period been af flicted with mental incapacity, or that there existed any hereditary predisposition to that fearful disease. There was, in fact, nothing whatsoever to lead the jury to infer that she was labouring under any delusion suf ficient to justify the commission, or rather to prevent the penal consequences, of an offence of such magni tude, save the suggestion of counsel, who argued, from the circumstances of the case, the maternal affection which the wretched woman had previously exhibited towards her unfortunate offspring, her anxiety to bring it up with some degree of comfort and respectability, and the total absence of premeditation—that she must have been wrought into a state of sudden frenzy, which prevented her from being accountable for her acts. This view must have been adopted by the jury, who gave the prisoner the benefit of the doubt, and thus preserved her from the extreme penalty of the law. It was also considered that she would not escape with impunity, but that their verdict would consign her to perpetual im prisonment in a lunatic asylum, a lingering and hopeless punishment, which many persons might easily believe to be more intolerable than death itself. The deep sympathy that was excited for the miserable creature by the predicament in which she was placed by the conduct of the nurse (Mrs. JometsToesa), whom it has been so much the fashion to beslaver with praise and cotr - mendation, had unquestionably a material influence on the decision of the ewe—a deci2ion, which however satisfactory it my to to be spared the revolting spectacle of a public excution, and that of one of the weahcr sex, we cannot help regarding as being fraught with the most dangerous consequences to society. If the result of the present case can in any degree be c onstituted a precedent that may properly be followed, there is no case, however atrocious, in which a similer appeal may not be followed by a similar acquittal. Jour GLEESON WILSON might have been exonerated from expiating his fourfold murder at Liverpool, or JAMBS Bnomreenn Rem from the penal consequences of the Stanfield 11311 massacre. But it has at all times properly been held that the absence of any apparent motive, or the suddenness of the fatal de termination, could not excuse the shedding of human blood or depriving a fellow-creature of life. The law undoubtedly makes allowance for the weakness of our fallible nature, and sanctions a verdict fur the minor offence of manslaughter in cases of sudden provocation, where the blow was struck in the heat of passion. But all the circumstances of the present case pre vented the possibility of such a decision. The unfor tunate infant could not hare done anything to fluence her anger to such a degree as to deprive her of all self-control. Whatever she might hare felt towards the nurse, who at a moment's notice threw the child on her hands, and obstinately refused to retain it for even a single week, al though well aware that the consequences of the inevitable exie sure must have been absolutely ruinous to the mother, vengeance should not he ve been wreaked on the innocent victim. No possible doubt could exist as to the commission of the crioe 7 that it was by the hands cf its parent that the unfo:- tunate child was suffocated. The only alternative was to find the accused guilty of the entire cf fence of wilful and deliberate murder, or to return a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity. The jury adopted the latter course, and in co doing set aside all the ordinary rules of law. They stood, in fact, between the criminal and the salutary code that she had violated, and sheltered her from the consequences of her enormous crime. There were, undoubtedly, " extenuating circumstance.," such as exist in almost every case of "child murder." Exposure, and its inevitable results—shame, infamy, and disgrace, want and destitution, stared her in the face. She could not possibly have hoped to retain her situation, one of considerable emolument, and in every respect de sirable for a person of the prisoner's station in life. She had committed the offence which is regarded as unpardonable in a state of society " Where every woe a tear may claim, Except an erring sister's shame." The presence of the child in the house at Upper Harley street could not be concealed Detection was inevita ble, and dismissal without character, or the possibility of obtaining a new situation, was impending. Driven to despair by the obduracy of Mrs. JOHNSTONE, she committed the highest offence known to the law, in order to evade or postpone the injurious consequences of her former fall. However they might commiserate her distress, the jury could not properly go beyond their allotted functions : they might have joined in a strong recommendation to mercy, but the final decision rested with the SOVEREIGN alone. Those circumstances in the case would not have been forgotten or lost sight of; and, if on ma ture consideration it appeared that a lenient decision could have been arrived at, we can not doubt that "justice would have been tempered with mercy." But the jury went beyond their legi timate sphere when they took upon themselves to save the criminal, and thus usurped the unquestioned and most glorious prerogative of the QUEEN, the brightest ewel of the royal diadem. Lieutenant WaGeionxLone of the most dis tinguished benefactors of the age, and one of the most enterprising linglishmen of the century—has expired. This announcement, made by ourselves on Wednesday evening, the morrow of his demise, must have filled with regret the hearts of many thousands. For amongst all the public characters of the period not one was more popular with his fellow-country men than the originator of the overland route to India across the European and Asiatic continents. Notwithstanding the possession of an iron constitu tion, he has passed away from us prematurely, before attaining his fiftieth year—destroyed by that un selfish and self-sacrificing magnanimity which so open leads to the calamities and decease of our greatest public benefactors. From its own en trails the spider weaves its web, with its own life blood according to a beautiful fable of the anthologists the pelican' nourishes its callow off spring; and so from the heart and the brain of Ilikt niue comes that consuming vitality which causes an in ternal decay while lavishing externally its immea surable fruitfulness. It has been so with men in all ages and under all cir, umqtancese The oil that nourishes the lamp of the intellectual senctuary is the life stream of genius—that life which the brighter it burns the faster it coneumee—imparting radiance to the world eshile bringing to itself only darkness and ashes. Whenever the indomitable energies of e great man, be he a poet or a warrior., a p-Itriot or en illustrious benefactor of his fellow-creatures, such as was Lieutenant WAGHORN—whenever the energies of such a mind are dedicated to the achievement of noble deeds—be sure of this, it is for the life, and, alas, for the death ! With the war rior his victories are only the antecedents cf sorce ulterior defeat, of some treacherous conspiracy, of some ignominious assassination, or of some popular ingratitude. With the patriot, his glory acquired as the saviour of % nation is accompanied invariably by SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 3d have been received. A communication was officially made to both Chambers, announcing that the QUEEN would be unable to receive the usual deputation on the 6th January, on account of her health. In the Cortes on the preceding day Senor ORENSF, the Progressista Deputy, had moved for the produc tion of all documents relative to the appointment of the Cleonard Ministry in the month of October la,st. The Marquis DE PIDAL, Minister of Foreign Affairs, replied that no other documents existed ex cept the royal decree published in the Gazette, ap pointing and dismissing the Ministers, and that, as the affair took place last year, it ought to be buried in oblivion. The motion was rejected by a majority of 117 to 20. GERMAN Y. Several of the aristocratic landholders of SilcsAa have protested'against the 38th Article of the Prussian Constitution, which abolishes the law of entail. On the 7th the Prussian Ministry communicated to the Chambers the convention for the cession of the Principalities of jlnhenzollern to Prussia, and de manded an immediate consideration of the subject. The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung of the Ist, pub lished at Leipsic, has the following article under the title of ihiropean Genealogy : " The number of the sovereigns of Europe, including the Emperor of Brazil, who belongs to a European dynasty, as well as the two princes of Hohenzollern, whose mediation is now under negotiation, but not yet definitively settled, and without reckoning the semi sovereign Prince of Monaco, amounts to 48, among whom 33 belong to Germany, and 3 of whom are females. The oldest of these sovereigns, the King of Hanover, is 78k years of age; the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg- Strelitz, is more than 70. Among the others 7 are from 60 to 70; 14 from 50 to 60; 8 from 40 to 50; 9 from 30 to 40; and 5 from 20 to 30. Three have not yet attained their 20th year—via., the Em peror of Austria, the Queen of Spain, and the Prince of Waldeck, who is still under guardianship, and will com plete his 14th year on the 19th inst. The average age is 46 years 3i- months. The prince who has reigned the longest is the Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe; he has reigned 63 years, and is the only sovereign whose accession dates from the last century; but if we de duct from it the years of his minority, his reign has only been 42 twc-thirds years. On the other hand, three princes, the Duke of Parma, the King of Holland, and the King of Sardinia, only com menced to reign during the course of last year of them in March), and in all 17 princes only as sumed the reins of their respective governments in the last ten years. Six sovereigns have never been married, via , the Pope, the Emperor of Austria, the Duke of Brunswick, the Princess of Reuss Schleia and of Wal deck, and the Lendgrnvo of Ilesve Homburg. Four, the King of Ilant ver, the Grand Dcke of Oldenhurz, the Duke of Nass , .u, and the Prince of Hohenzollern-4 are widowers. One, the King of Denmark, has been divorced from two wives ; mother, the Eleeer of rnuri re d morgairatically ; rtml a thii d, the Suitan, lives in polygarry. Among the i val of reigning princes, and issues of sovereign heunes. the oblest is the Grand Duchess of Saxe Weimar, and the youngest the Queen of Bavaria, the former being 64, and the latter 24k ; the Grand Duchess is also the princess who has been the longest married, having been so for 46 years and five months. In the number of sovereigns now married, cr who have been so (not including the Elector of Ile e, whose marriage is morganatic), 13 have no children, the 28 others have sons heirs presumptive, Six of these LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 850 latter are married, and the oldest is that of Schaumburg, Lippe, arid the youngest the Imperial Prince of Brazil, Among the 20 sovereigns without descendants capable of succeeding them, eleven have brothers, four have for presumptive successors other collateral relations, viz., the King of Denmark and the Duke of Modena an uncle, the Elector of Hesse a cumin, and the Queen of Spain her sister. Four other sovereigns, the Landgravo of Hesse Homburg, the Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechin gen, •nd the Dukes of Anhalt-Bernburg and Bruns wick have not in their line heirs capable of succeeding them." The court-martial sitting at Pesth has issued a decree dated January Ist, summoning the following Members of the late Hungarian Government to ap- pear before the Court :—LOUIS KOSSUTH, INIESZAROS, SZEMERF, PERCZEL, CASIMIR BATTHYANY, IiTIENNU BATTHTANY, ItAmEls, and others. A term of 90 days is assigned to them for that purpose. The Wiener Zeitung of the 4th instant publishes a report signed by the whole Ministry respecting the long-expected provincial constitutions and regulations for the elections of representatives to the provincial Diets. The report commences with a review of the Austrian revolution, anti of the reforms which have al- ready been accomplished. It mentions the law respect ing the newspaper press and the right of asso ciation ; the creation of parishes, which is to be more fully developed, whenever the dif fel ent branches of the administrative authori ties shell commence active operations ; the taxa tion of the land ; the political and judicial organisa tions, &c. The measures necessary to the organisa tion of Gallicia, Dalmatia, the Bukowina, and the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, are nearly complete, while for Croatia, Slavonia, and the military frontier, they are ready, and will shortly be laid before the Ranperor for his sanction. It has been necessary in many cases to consider the exceptional condition of affairs, which the report says must for the present be maintained in order that the consolidation of the empire may not again be interrupted by fresh hostile disturbances. Meanwhile the including the provinces in the constitution of the empire, and the reforms established in parochial matters, and the organisation of the administration of the country, have placed the preliminary measures on such a footing, that upon their basis a new element towards the erection of the constitution has been obtained, and an important wheel in the machine of the State, so that the constitution can be put in operation in the se veral provinces. For Bohemia Austrian above and below the Enna, Salsburg, Styria, Carinthia, brain, Moravia, Istria, with Gore and Gradisca, Tyro], and Voralberg, and Silesia, the projects of the several constitutions and regulations for the election of Deputies to the Diet have been prepare I. The Minh, terial report then states the principles upon which they have been drawn up. From these we shall only mention that the division into three electoral bodies is adopted, and that the census for the election of deputies to the provincial diets is to be the same as for the imperial diet; in the larger towns the higher classifications of the industry tax are the standard. The formation of the electoral districts is to be determined by the political divisions of the several provinces. As a rule, each political district is to send one deputy to the provincial diet. The electoral body of the highest taxed is to meet in each province as an electoral assembly, but in the larger provinces the particular interests cf each political district are to be token into consideration. In fixing the electoral districts for the towns, cities, market and industrial towns, the number of the population or their historical and industrial importance are to be considered, and where several combined have to elect one deputy, the geographical position as well as the equality of interests is to be taken into con sideration. The voting is to be viva voce, and the duration of the provincial diets is fixed at four years. The constitutions themselvea are to afford to the ad ministration, apart from all narrow centralization, that degree of power which the Imperial Constitution permits to be placed in their heeds. The periods for the election of Deputies to the Imperial Diet, nod for the convocation of the provincial diets are to be fixed by the Ministers whenever the necessary prepsrations shall have been completed, and the political authorities shall have assumed the discharge of their functions, the parishes, together with their a dministrative and repre sentative organs formed, and the electoral lists for the provincial diets prepared and completed. The period that must elapse before these various measures have been accomplished, is to be employed, by the Ministry in the preparation of the necessary measures and projects of law. At the conclusion of the, report, the Ministry ask the Essrunort to sanction the ,rejects for the provincial constitutions and electoral vegula tions, to sign the necessary patents, and to co / Manama the Ministry to carry them out. The report is dated the 29cla Dec., and received the Imperial sanction on the 30th. The latest number of the publication of the lawn of the empire contains the constitution and electoral regulations fer Austria be low the Eons. The Chambers of Hesse Darmstadt have decided by a large majority in favour of the adhesion of that !Itchy to the Trace King's ',segue. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, JAN. 9 —The Staats Courant giv!fs the Government reply to the report of the Second Chamber on the national budget, relative to the war -department, from which we extract the following pas sages : " The Minister of War has pleasure in satisfying the d•tsire expressed by the sections of knowing his views relative to the organization of the army and of the sys tern of defence. lie is convinced that in tilers of peace the army should be as inexpensive as possible, but at the same time it should alwa ys be so p erfectl y organised that it might be at any moment employed for the de fence of the country, otherwise all the expenses attend ing it would be thrown away. " It is evident that the reduction of the errny must not be carried too far; the grand objects to be carried out by the army according to the terms of the funda mental law must be borne in mind, cis, the mainte nance of the independence of the state and the defence of its territory. The army in its present state is merely a nucleus, which must be extended in times of war or of danger, but such an extension takes time, nor can it be obtained exeept at pecuniary sacrifices. " The Minister of War deplores that, notvithstanding the reductions already made, the final figure of his budget should still be considered too high; not that he imagines that any ccouomy has been already introduced, or that he is unwilling to effect it—quite the contrary, and he hoped to give proof o f hi s i ntent i ons on t hi s point; but continued reductions in the army cannot pos sibly be classed among advantag eous retrenc h men t s; they degenerate into demolition, to w hi c h t h e Mi n i s te r is called upon to lend his aid. Every part of the king don), and everyinhabitant has an equal claim upon the solicitude of Government for protection against en croachments and losses, and it is the duty of Government to strain every nerve ,or the realisation of this object." TURKEY. The Journal of Commerce of Antwerp has the of the date of the 18th following from b fr e o r m :_ Constantinople, " The Russian steamer, th e Crimea, arrived here on Saturday from Odessa. She has brought the satisfactory information that the Turco-Russian a more serious aspect, are tendi n g to a p a cific termination. diff e rences, so far from assuming " The Crimea brought dispatches for the Russian I Legation and fo r the Subli me Porte. Though not acq uainted with the actual contents of thesa die- h a ve taken ref uge i n the emp i re, i n consequen ce of the Hungarian war, are to be ex pelled, with the exce p tion of those who have em braced Ismalism. T here n ow remains only a few of persons patches, whoN e h a ve neverthel ess l earnt that a ll th e the details to be settled, and these will probably be adjusted at Constantinople by the exertions of the Porte and of the chief of the Russian Legation ac credited in this residence. Several conferences have taken place between the Grand Vizier and the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs with the Representatives of England and the French Republic. The demands of Sir STRATrORD CANNING, and the dignified, and, at the same time, moderate attitude of General Au- PICK have been much spoken of. Several of the refugees have, it is said, embarked on board of French and English steamers, and all who remain at Constantinople have been called upon to express in writing their willingness to leave on the Ist of February. Letters from Alexandria of the 18th ult. state that the Egyptian Foreign Minister, ARTIN BEY, had gone to Constantinople to offer to the SULTAN the Egyptian fleet, either as a set-off against the annual tribute or for money. GREECE. The Augsburg Gazette publishes' a letter from Athens, of the 25th ult., which states that Metaxa having been unable to form a Ministry, the King had sent for Admiral Kriezis, who had formed a Ministry as fol Lows :—President of the C ouncil and Min ister of Marine, Kriezi s ; War, Staicos ; Inte rior, Notaras; Foreign, Londos ; Worship, Chrysophelos; Justice (and provisionally Finance), Balbis. The Chambers re-assembled on the 22d. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at about 20000 bales, 11,500 of which were taken by speculators. The sales comprised 15,000 Ameriean, 500 Penmen end Maranham at 64d. to aid., 600 Bahia at 61d., 1 200 Egyptian at aid. to aid e 2,000 Surat at aid. to 4p., and 50 Sea Island at 11d. to ls. Old. per lb. The mai ket was very active at fully previous rates. —Railway Shares were much firmer. In Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of foreign Wheat have been 5,280 quarters, and of Barley 6,000 quarters. The business done this week in the colonial produce markets has been extensive, and the quotations have been materially higher for Coffee, in which a good deal of speculation is carried on. Sugar, considering the full supply, has maintained its value well. Rice has been firm, and also Saltpetre. In Spices a fair general business has been done. Tea is in favour, Tallow has become firmer, and Cotton is brisk et fuller prices. The letters and papers by the West India mail steamer bring no news of general interest. Trade was dull, but the crop prospects were encouraging. In Barbadoes plentiful showers had fallen. It eems, by accounts received i❑ the United States from the Pacific, that the British man•of-war the Herald, arrived at Mazatlan on the 13th of November last. The Herald is one of the vessels employed by the English Government in the expedition in search of Sir John Franklin and his daring crew. She proceeded as far as 73 :10, /but could get no tidings of Sir John. As yet, nothing has been done by the United States. In answer to Lady Franklin's appeal, Mr. Clayton made flattering promises, which were received eith great entbusia-an in England, but a hich were quietly backed out of. This must have been a cruel disappointment to that lady. But she is determined not to relax her efforts in the cause of her husband's rescue. Since the uuexpected return of Sir John Ross, her exertions have been directea to the fitting out of other expeditions to renew the search; and it is reported, that if our national Government will do nothing in the matter, she intends to embark for this country, and invest all the means she possesses in fitting out one or two vessels for that purpose. It is stated in accounts from Brussels that the Belgian Funds have now reached the point at which they stood immediately prior to the breaking out of the French revolution; whereas the French Ilentes are still 23 per cent. under the values current at that period. In the Amsterdam Bourse, on the Bth instant, Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. were 55 5-16, with a slight tendency to decline. At Berlin, on the Bth instant, Prussian - Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 894. The English Funds have been rather fluctuating, and have not quite maintained the recent advance. There is no other *use for this partial reaction, which, compared with the recent advance, is really exceedingly trifling, than the desire of parties who make handsome profits to realise them, and this hes brought money stock to market. Consols have been 97k to # for Transfer, and 97i for Account. The New Tareceand• a- Quarter per Cents, have been 99i to and the Three per Cents. 974 to 4. Berth Stock is steady, at 208 to 2084. Exchequer bills are 595. to 62s premium, and India Bonds 995. premium. In the Foreign Market likewise the quotations are flatter, taking their tone from the English funds. Spanish Five per Cents, are 194, and the Three per Cents. 37-i. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 36 to 4. Mexican have dropped to 29 • There are conflicting opinions as to the new plan of the Mexican Government ;or an arrangement of its entire debt, but that the activity displayed augurs well for an early sett) s went few can doubt. There is an apparent dispo sition also to release the republic from the " farming " syetetn, and if the foreign creditors get 34 or even 3 per cent. upon the capital of the debt, say 10,250,0001., and, aided by Lord Palmerston, retain their lien upon the custeere and silver duties, they will stand in an excellent position. As the new It:inence Minister proposes to do nothing without the consent of the creditors, there is every pre spect of some arrangement. We wish we could say as much of the affair with Messrs. Schneider and Co. Wa believe truly that the firm has a claim upon the Mexican Government, but ca❑ in no sense understand why the bondholders should suffer, and the remittances that were paid to their agents in Mexico, Messrs. Man ning and Co., should be appropriated afterwards by Messra Schneider to pay the debt alleged to be due to them. The holders of the remanets of the dividend are waxing very warm upon the subject, and we suppose that the Court of Chancery will have to be appealed to in the matter. The consular representative here of the Mexican Government has called upon the creditors to present the coupons to Messrs. Schneider, and request payment of the balance, but we sus pect there is very little chance of the same being disehargA. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 554, and Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 494. The Railway Share Market has been firm for the bet ter class of shares. Brighton have been buoyant, North-Western are looking up, Midland are much the same. French Shares are well supported. Sambre and Meuse are 24 1.

CORN-EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY. Up to our market this week, coastwise, the receipts of English Wheat. have exceeded 3,000 quarters, but those by land carriage and sample hay. - been very moderate. The show of i.t.r heat of home produce on offer to day was seatoriably good. As the attendance of both to wat and country millers was limited, the demand for all de scriptions ruled dull in the extreme, at almost nominal. currencies. Tho imports of foreign Wheat have amounted to 5,280 quarters. Really tine parcels were: costly held at full prices; but the middling and inferiec kinds were somewhat lower to purchase. We bad a. good supply of Barley on offer. All ki❑ds were a \rely slow s , le at barely late rates. Increased supplies of Malt were on show. All kinds were very dull, and the tour in favour of the buyers. The quantity of °At 3 was small. Fine samples were scarce, and quite as dew . All ether kinds were much neglected. In Beans, Peas Indian Corn, and Flour exceedingly little business war transacted. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Oata. _ _ Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

Calves were in fair average supply, and a slow inquiry at last week's currencies. Prime small Porkers produced full prices, but large Hogs were heavy. The extreme inactivity in the general demand arose chit 41) , from the large supplies of country-slaughtered meat re ceived up to Newgate and Lcadenhall.
