EYNARD grumbles, but pays. There is some consolation in that—both to the Government of Great Britain and the Administration of COLETTI. Be it remembered, through all the uncertainties of the Greek loan—M. EYNARD grumbles, but pays. He grumbles in his communications with Lord PAL- MzarroN, he grumbles in his interviews with Lord NORMANBY, he grumbles in his dispatches to COLETTI, he grumbles—and very lustily, too—in the columns of the Presse and the Journal des Debats. But he pays. With the punctuality of Antonio, he is at all hazards prepared to satisfy his creditor. Were M. EYNARD without the cash, he might possibly carry his mercantile punctilios as far as the Merchant of Venice—he might possibly unbutton his waistcoat for the carving-knife of the English Shylock. So far he might arouse the admiration of his Attic Bassanio—COLETTl—by the magnanimity of his self-sacrifice. There, however, the resemblance would terminate; for, unlike the generous Antonio, M. EYNARD would assuredly nullify his heroic self forgetfulness —by grumbling. He would bare his breast for the scales and the weapon—and grumble. To M. EYNARD, we doubt not, this parallel will be peculiarly acceptable, since, in his estimation, England is proving as obdurate a creditor as SHTLOCK.

It is amusing to read the lamentations of this un fortunate gentleman, copied from the Presse into The Sun of yesterday. His " appeals " to the Minis try are so plaintive; his monetary and admo nitory advice to COLLETTI is so self-evident, his allusions to Lord PALMERSTON are so fretful ! Besides which he is irate with the journals of London. Entertained, however, as we may be with his epistolary wailings, we must •be satisfied at the promptitude with .which the first instalment upon the Greek debt, amounting to 500,000 f., was paid up yesterday by his bankers, MM. G. ODIER and Co, On the 20th of September the Bill arrived at matu rity—on the 20th of September it was not dishonoured ! The engagement made to the British Ambassador at the Court of the Tuileries has been fulfilled, and the assurances forwarded to Athens by M. ,EYNARD on the 31st of August have been realised. From the punctuality evinced in this transaction by the individual who became individually responsible for the Grecian Government, we cannot but think that his expressions of dissatisfaction are entitled to some consideration. Extravagant as the remarks of M. EYNARD are, he has shown himself to be so much a man of his word that it becomes a reasonable courtesy to examine the meaning of his diatribe against the Foreign Secretary of her Bri • tannic MAJESTY, and to refute arguments which would be otherwise unworthy of even the most cursory allusion. Briefly, then, the malcontent is astonished at the rigour (as he is pleased to consider it) with which the British Ad ministration insists upon the payment of the periodical instalments slue to us from the Athenian Treasury. That the demands of England are not rigorous in themselves is manifest to every one—other wise the ordinary demands of any creditor in Christendom might be viewed as extortionate. They are regarded, therefore, even by M. ETNARD, as only relatively rigorous. And how, let us inquire, are they considered relatively ? Why -0 ! Spirit of Absolutism, how infectious art thou become in the atmosphere of Paris I—England is rigorous when compared with Russia! " The Emperor NICHOLAS likewise might require payment in full," says M. ETNARD, " and, nevertheless, that monarch unites moderation with patience." Henceforth let the pro verb be—at least to M. ETNARD—" As generous as the Czar"—" As forgiving as the Autocrat"—" As patient as the Emperor of all the Russias." Were poor LAILIN BLANCHARD alive to continue his physiological treatise upon Duns, he might find a fruitful theme for disquisition in the discovery of M. ETNARD that there is an antipathy to demanding money inherent in the blood of the Muscovite poten tate. Swar's punning discovery of the origin of the name of SARPEDON (Sir-pay-down), or of ALEXANDER THE GREAT (All - eggs-under-the-grate), was nothing compared with the dunning discovery of M. Er- NARD. The Dean of St. Patrick has been sur passed, both in originality and absurdity, by the Philo-Hellenic capitalist, who loves to dabble in the monetary dilemmas of Greece. England, therefore, is a rigorous creditor only relatively with Russia! But M. EYNARD is filled with amazement at the harshness of the powerful Ministry of Great Britain in its behaviour towards " a feeble State" like that of King OTHO. And what, we should like to know, in Heaven's name, is this harshness ? England requires that Greece should liquidate the debts incurred by the loan, not in " a lump," but by instalments, not from an impoverished exchequer, but from one which, with the most moderate honesty and tact, would be capable of yet further disbursements, not from a country depressed by agricultural calamities, commercial depreciation, or diminished resources, either civil or maritime, but from a country which M. EYNARD himself acknowledges to have an agri culture, a commerce and a navy " in every respect prosperous." It is because with all the capacity to satisfy the demands of its legal creditors, the Grecian Government is so involved in extravagance, the Grecian Ministry is so notorious for peculation, ail:: the Grecian revenues are so squandered upon idle or nefarious undertakings that the responsibilities of the kingdom only accumulate, and its creditors are left to whistle even for the most niggardly instal ments. These are the facts which justify Lord PALMERSTON in a firmness of purpose which, to the diseased judgment of M. EYNARD, appears nothing better than a rigorous and extor tionate exaction. Carp, however, as he may at the determination evinced in all the communica tions issued from Downing-street in reference to the Greek loan, M. ETNARD has compensated us for his insinuations by the punctuality of his payments. He has grumbled on the 16th of Sep tember, but he has authorised MM. G. ODIER and Co. to pay 2 0,000/. to the order of the British Government on the '2oth. He has prevaricated in the journal, but he has been guided by the principles of rectitude in the banking -house. He has not en hanced the guilt attached to himself by a sin of commission by the shame resulting from a sin of omission. To the disgrace of calumny he has not added the ignominy of swindling. His letters have already rendered him an object of ridicule, but his ready payment of yesterday's instalment saves him ROYAI. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Repreventatton of SLIAKSPERE'S BIL:Tff-PLACE.

MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 14.—Three per Cents., 261 paper ; Five per Cents., 17i cash; Debt without Interest, 51 ; Exchange on London, 48f. 70c. We have received the Papers of Sunday. The Moniteur contains the following : " The Moniteur of the 31st ult. announced a noti fication made by the Government of her Britannic Majesty, on the occasion of a visit to which the French trading brig Les Deux Sceurs was subjected by the officers of an English cruiser, on the west coast of Africa. It results, from a report addressed from Goree, the 26th July, to the Minister of the Marine and Colonies, by the Rear-Admiral com manding the naval division on the coast of Africa, that Commodore Hotham, the commander of the English cruisers, has expressed, with respect to the conduct of the captain of the Wanderer, a blame, which has been placed officially on the order of the day of the squadron." The affairs of Spain and Italy are still the engros sing topics of public attention in the French capital. On the subject of Italy a long and admirably written article from the Constitutionnel appears in another co lumn. With regard to Spain the National, which is usually well informed on Spanish affairs, says, in speaking of the intrigues of CHRISTINA to deprive her daughter of the throne—" We would state exactly, if we knew exactly, the sum of money which NARVAEZ has expended. The agents of the re-actionary party, who are used to drive such bargains, Usually reckon the price of a Spanish regiment at one hundred thousand francs. It cost more money in 1843, but the chiefs were more difficult, and the regimental staff more nume rous. At that period, moreover, ESPARTERO had in the army a certain number of officers devoted to his service. At the present time NARVAEZ finds many of his own sbirri among them, and in :the higher grades the greater number of the friends whoin he himself had appointed to them. This renders the . process of corruption more easy and less costly. Thus the hero of Ardoz, who has thrust his own creatures into_ almost every military office, assures his employers that he has secured seven regiments. He hopes soon to have ten, and he will hold himself in readiness to cause the revolt to break out at the first signal. ESPARTERO has the honour to enjoy the cordial hatred of CHRISTINA and of NARVAIZ they therefore wait for the moment of his entry into Spain to commence the pronunciamentos. But it appears that ESPARTERO is in no hurry to pay his respects to M. SERRANO, and we believe that he is little disposed to serve the Salamanca Ministry. Against whom, then, we ask, is NARVAEZ organizing his insurrection ? The present Ministers belong to the Moderada' party, and the Generals and 'Political Chiefs which they have nomi nated are_ also Moderados. The Monarchists, inspired and bought by CHRISTINA, are then about to com mence an insurrection against ISABELLA. This is a curious fact, and for our part we are impatient for the commencement of this somewhat complicated drama, for we hope that the denouement will be very different from the one for which CHRISTINA has al ready paid dearly with her pocket, but which may cost her friends even still more dearly." That some base Afrancesado intrigue, too infamous for even the Journal des Debats to defend, is at pre sent going on in Spain, is evident from the language of that journal on Saturday. It would seem almost as if the recent doings of the Ministry were " too bad" for the respectable Journal des Debats, seeing that not only is it silent on the affairs of Spain, but on the appointment of the Due D'AUSIALE also, the task of defending which has been undertaken by the new Ministerial journal, the Conservateur, after the following fashion : "The journals which attack this nominati:n give a bad account of the situation which is made for the Prince. The Duke d'Aumale is Governor-General on the same conditions as was Marshal Bugeaud— under Ministerial responsibility. Those who quote the history of England on this subject are ignorant of it. Was not the Duke of York, brother of the King, raised to the command in chief of the army, with the right of appointing to all ranks and to all military functions, as well in England as in the colonies ? No one ever considered tab as unconstitutional or exor bitant. Doubtless the responsibility will be hence forth greater and more delicate for the Ministry in everything connected with the affairs of the colony ; but although it may have more difficult and more serious duties, there can result from it no attack l on constitutional principles. Moreover, the choice of an enlightened, brave, loyal, active Prince, worthy in every respect to preside over a great work, is a real benefit for Algeria. Who ever is acquainted with the manners of the natives, knows that a son of a king would always have a weight, an authority, which no other Governor- General could enjoy. The position of the Prince is, besides, a fresh guarantee for the strength and de velopment of civil administration in Algeria, at the same time that it responds to all the feelings of the army. All ideas of rivality become impossible before the name of the Duke d'Aumale, and no other name could, in this respect, enjoy :the same advantage. The French Princes will thank God they are not condemned to a life of shameful inactivity. The sons of the King have a right, like all of us, to find employment for their ardour and for their talents; they have a right, like us, to devote themselves courageously to the service of the country. To pretend to exclude them from the common law would be an outrage which they have not yet merited, it would be to place them in an apparently high position, but to interdict to them all the reality which that positiot should c arry w i th it. " The Monte zuma steam-frigate which has arrived at Toulon was at Melilla on the nth. It was said 4 that place . that ARD- KBEs, had received r e i n f orce { ments from several of the Arab tribes of Algeria, and that he was regularly exercising his troops and artil.l lery every day. The National gives the followin4 account of the circumstances which led to the appear -1 anee of the Enna before Taza :-- 1 " The arrival of Abd-el-Kader at:Taza, was brought; about by a curious circumstance, and one which is not without a certain degree of importance." The Beni-Amer s , the Djaffra, and the Hachems, fractio n s of tribes of the province of Oran, emigrated into Morocco, had latterly established themselves to the. south-west of Taza, where they were tolerated by' the inhabitants of the country. Either in conse quence of the means of existence failing them, or that they wished to return into Algeria to recover their lands and the scattered remnants of their fami lies, or that they had received orders from Abd-el-Kader to join him„ and advance towards the frontier, theae exiles, to the number of 10,000, quitted their encampment, and marched towards the east., Unfortu na t e l y f or t h em, they conceived the idea of pillaging all the tribes through whose territory they passed. These acts of depredation could not go un athgeis,netrit punished ; th e people of Morocco and the Maghrzen massacre nr h a s orfi hastily them.eol l of the Emperor barred th e i r roa d , attacked, and made e c O t ed n being his f informed an o cl f marched towards the scene of the strule. It was however, too l a t e ; on his arrival he found the 2 almost entirely destroyed, and it was wthd icffia r c a u v l a t n that he could colle c t the few remains of them. It y was in this march towards the west that he came under the walls of Taaa, if he did not enter the town. He was everywhere well received by the people of Morocco, and his followers increased as he went on. We can guarantee for the correctness of this account, and which, in some measure, extenuates the fact, which has lately caused some sensation i n th e occu pation of Taza.

EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY.—IICT Ma jesty had not arrived at the Euston square terminus when we went to press. Her arrival is anticipated before the publication of our next Edition.

Oltening 7,LONIION, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1847. We yesterday pointed out the injurious conse quences that have been occasioned by the unusual scarcity and dearness of money, which has led to the embarrassments of houses of the highest respectability, which at other times and under other circumstances would have had no difficulty whatever in obtaining all the accommodation they might reasonably require, and thus have been enabled to weather the stores, end to have more than retrieved their position. thready we are rejoiced to say the indications of returning paosperity are beginning to manifest themselves. No new casualties or stoppages took pime in the City yesterday, and there was a marked improvement in the price of Consols and other Government and first class securities, - which:may be looked upon as an un failing V2.st of more favourable financial prospects. The irr.(provement in Consols during the day was no than it per cent, A stronger proof could not be afforded of the real strength of our resources, and the soundness of the position of our banking, mercantile , and trading i n t erests, and, above all, of a return of that confidence so essential at all times, but more I especially so at a period of difficulty and pressure, when the operation of the monetary enactments re strain the banks from making those advances which could otherwise be made with safety to themselves, and so much advantage to the public. The state ments that have been published of the assets of some of the suspended houses clearly show that the cala mity which has taken place has not been occasioned by any want of caution, prudence, or solvency on the part of the principals. We publish in another part of The &n an account of the liabilities and credits of the firm of SANAERSON and Co., from which it appears that the total amount owing by them, not covered by equivalent security, amounts to 160,4201.—against which (and also against the responsibility on the bills rurating, which it is to be hoped will not be ifiery, weighty), there are assets held by the TAM amounting to 259,0001., and the separate property of the partners, amounting to 1811,000/., showing a surplus of 278,5801., after providing full satisfaction ' for every claim. Is it possible to find a stronger condemnation of the system by which men of unblemigled integrity, meriting compliments such as that which was paid to Mr. SamnasoN, should be driven to a temporary stoppage by the effects of the restrictions and impediments imposed upon the corn znerce and entdrpsise of the country by laws which, in seasons of prosperity are utterly useless, but which in -anything, like a period of pressure aggravate the difficulties to a fearful extent? Thene are many reasons why we may fairly look for a more propitious season. the A hervest far beyond avera ge h as b een gathered in , affording a certain promise of an ample and abundant supply of food for the people. It is not in the British dominions alone that this cheering prospect is apparent. happily,, a sim ilar appea rance of p le nt y all p ar t s i There is of the ''globe, so that th ere is no danger of a defi ciency of the m eans of livelihood in any nation. Ou foreign exchanges generally Ate in a very , favourable position, so that there will be no occasion for a further abstraction of gold from the coffers of the Bank, in order to keep them in our favour, On the contrary, as it will be more profitable feur our customers in other lands to send gold for the payment, of their enga - gements, than to purchase bills at the high prices trey command, and, as very little :will be required for the importation of corn for some time to come, there will be a considerable increase to the stock. -4 bullion i n th e country, an d as a necessary , 118 7-Kpience, -to the amount of notes that will be sen :ago circulation. These considerations should check the panic or want of confidence by which many weak-minded linen are influenced at the first appearance of distress or embarrassment in the country. They withdraw their capital from circulation, and hoard it up, at the very time that its u se would really be most valuable to themselves, as well as beneficial to the public. The effects of this hoarding is j furious to ust as injurious the country for th e time being as if th e same Se quantity of money was altogQthe r d estroyed, or Sent to other nations. Each person who does so conceiving, perhaps, that there can be no harm in his securing himself, practically adds to the difficulties of the country ; every sovereign he locks up dimi nishes the circulation by twice that extent, because it is not merely the gold he puts by, but an equal sum in paper that must be kept from the public undei the operation of the Act of 1844. Now that the tide has turned, that the funds are again rising, and confidence is beginning to be re stored, we trust that there will no longer be any occasion for the gloomy forebodings that have been indulged in for some time past, and which have so greatly aggravated the difficulties that had to be en. countered. The houses that have survived the shock will have given the strongest evidence of their stability, and may, fairly look for increased facilities in their future dealingse the dangers and embarrassments that h ale taken while p taken plac e w ill l ea d all .rsd in the com merc i a l prosper i ty of the ons countr interestey t o in quire into a n d i nvest i gate t h e causes that have led to such untoward results ; and when they have satisfied -11 16 from becoming an object of contempt and obloquy. The Grand Council of the Canton of Berne, on the 12th instant, on the motion of M. OCLISENBEIN, voted a credit of 230,000 f. to put - the two first contingents of the army in a state of efficiency to take the field. M. OcusExaxiN, in proposing the vote, said he con sidered it extremely probable that the resolution of the Diet ordering a dissolution of the Sonderbund would be carried into execution by force of arms. The latest intelligence from Naples represents that capital is tolerably tranquil, but the insurrection is, it is said, progressing in Sicily. The Bilancia, of the lth, states that the Austrians have not di m i n i s h ed their garrison in Ferrara, and the inhabitants scarcely dare quit their houses after nightfall. The mun i c i pality of Ancona has pur chased on its own account from France 1,600 muskets, 300 of which ha ve arr i ved at Osimo ; at Rimini the clergy made a collection for the purchase of arms for the civic guard. At Modena the slightest occurrence may cause a revolution to break out. The Duke having expressed a desire to his troops that they should tole anew the oath of allegiance to him, they replied that they ,would take no oath except to fight for the indepen dence of the country, and against the tyrannical pre tensions of foreigners.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was still declining. Sales 3,500 bales, of which 3,000 bales were American, at Cid. to 7 d, per lb. Business was dull, and American sorts were id. per lb. lower. Railway Shares were again lower. The quieter aspect of affairs in the City serves to in spire confidence, but it may be discreet for all parties to keep themselves well armed against contingencies such as must be expected after the late shocks to mercantile credit. The effect of these stoppages cannot at once be felt in its full force. Caution is all, perhaps, that need to be inculcated, as we have a hope that the worst may be over. Perhaps, upon the whole, the mercantile failures of the last week or two will prove far less serious than would stoppages to anything like the same extent among the wholesale firms or manufacturers, because, in such cases, the losses are direct and imme diate upon home connexions. Papers of March 31 have come to hand from South South Australia, but we have had these dates already. The English Stock-market opened firmly this morn ing, and a few purchases sent up Consols to 86 and 86k for transfer, and to 86k for time. Since, however, there has again been a reaction to 85i for Money, and to 851 to 86k for October. East India Stock is worth 238 to 241. Exchequer-bills show indications of rather more demand for money, being 6e. to 9s. premium. East India Bonds have been 3s. discount. In the Foreign house there has been a slight improve ment compared with yesterday. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 20, and the Three per Cents. 29 to k. Por tuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 24 to I. Brazil Stock is 82i to 83i. Mexican Bonds have been at 19 to*. Dutch Two -and-a-Half per Cents. have been 53i to 54. For Railway Shares the demand has been limited, but the quotations are supported generally. ONE CLOSING PRICFS OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. 3 per Cent.

(Before the RECORDER). OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.- John Darby, a horse dealer, surrendered to take his trial upon a bill found last session, charging him with obtaining, under false pretences, from Mr. Edward Oldfield, the sum of 801. 15s. Mr. Ballantyne conducted the case for the pro secution, and Mr. Prendergast was counsel for the prisoner. From the statements of Mr. Ballantyne, it appeared that Mr. Oldfield, the prosecutor, was a corn dealer residing at Hyde, near Hendon, and had been in the habit of having dealings with th e defendant, who was a horse dealer, for several years. Among the other transactions that had taken place between them, the prosecutor had cashed several bills for the defendant, which were accepted by a person named Terry. Upon the 17th of March the defendant brought an accept ance of Terry's fox 891. 155., which he wanted cashed. Upon the defendant making the request to the prose cutor, the latter stated that he h a d a l rea d y bill s o f hi s to the amount of some thousands in his posses siop, and that the last acceptance of Terry's had been dishonoured, and he must there fore decline having anything more to do with it. Upon this the defendant said that Terry was a highly respectable man, that he was a West India merchant, and had a situation in the West India Docks worth at least 600/. a year. The prosecutor believing the statement of the defendant, discounted the bill, giving him 801. 15s. in a cheque, Bank notes, and cash, keeping the remainder as discount. Pre vious to the bill becoming due, the prosecutor dis covered that the defendant was in the Gazette. The prosecutor proved against his estates in the Court of Bankruptcy, and from the questions put to the de fendant in that court, it was discovered that the statements he had made with respect to Terry were untrue. Upon this discovery the present indictment was brought against the defendant, and, upon the case going before the grand jury last session, they found a true bill against him. At the conclusion of the evidence the Learned Re corder intimated that no case had been made out to go to the jury. Some discussion ensued upon this point, and sub sequently The BECOJIDER left it to the jury to decide. After a brief consultation they returned a verdic of Not Guilty. MARLBRO'-STREET—( THIS DAY.) Henry White, a sharp-lcoking young fellow, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing five shillings in copper money, the property of Mr. James Richardson, Three Tuns, Moore-street, Seven Dials. James Tarrant stated that he was a potboy in the employ of Mr. Richardson. Yesterday afternoon he was busily occupied behind the bar, tying up in packets a quantity of copper money. While he was doing so the prisoner came in and stood in the front of the bar, apparently watching his movements. Having occasion to turn his back to serve a customer, the prisoner seised hold of a packet containing five shillings in coppers, and ran off with it. He fol lowed him, and saw him enter several shops, where he endeavoured to change the copper for silver. After going about for some time he procured the change, and was on the point of putting it in his pocket when witness went up to him and gave him in charge. The prisoner admitted taking the money, but it was done out of a lark, and he had not the least in tention of keeping it. Mr. HARDWICK said he should give him an oppor tunity of telling that tale to a jury by committing him for trial. ---------- about ten o'clock yesterday morning on board Sh e . ~b e.

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.) This morning, at the opening of the Court, a middle. aged man, walked into the witness-box, and in a lugubrious tone narrated the miseries his better half inflicted on him, and concluded by a request that the magistrate would immediately and " legally separate andunmarry them altogeth er ." To his evident sur prise he was informed that the magistrate possessed no such power, and that he must apply to the Eccle siastical Court if he wished to obtain a divorce. He left the box, and to the great merriment of every one in Court, eagerly inquired the " shortest way" to the Ecclesiastical Court, as he was determined to get " unfixed." Richard Letch was charged with forcibly breaking out of and escaping from the county gaol of Spring field, in Essex. James Rogers, a constable of the K division, pro duced the Hue and Cry, from which it appeared that the prisoner, who had formerly been a cattle dealer at Great Baddow, Essex, was convicted in August of horse stealing, and was confined in Springfield Gaol, awaiting his trial. On the 18th of August he broke out of gaol in the following manner : Some repairs had to be done to the gaol, and the outer walls were surrounded with scaflblding. He first, by means of a pair of scissors and a crowbar (how he became possessed of which is at present a mystery) worked a bole in the wall of his cell sufficiently large to admit of his passing through. This brought him to a wall, from which he made a spring of up wards of seven feet to the scaffolding, down which he clambered. Had he failed reaching the scaffold when he made the spring, he would have fallen from a height of 45 feet, and must inevitably have been dashed to pieces. From information he had received, Rogers apprehended him last night on Bow Common. He gave the constable a smart chase before he suc ceeded in capturing him. Mr. Y ARDLEY directed that the police sergeant and Rogers should re-convey the prisoner to Springfield Gaol.
