It is everywhere plentifully watered; and the soil is almost evcry where for tile in a very uncommon degree, and capable of producing in the utmost perfection whatever is produced between the tropics. The cotton bush, the cocoa, or chocolate nut, and venelloes flourish spontaneously all over the country. Indigo, too, is a native, and appears to be of the same sort with that of the neighbouring province of Gautimal, vihich is accounted the bast of any. The sugar-cane arrives bore to as great perfection as in any of the islands ; and the Quantity of mahogany and sarsaparilla annually exported from rlenee to Great Britain, rviders the settlement already an ob ject of no small importance in the scale of her commerce and navigation. The rivers and cam is abound with exceller.tfish ; and the finest turtle, both for food and shell, is found here in givater Verity than in any part of the known world. To which it mg; e added—and it is a circumsta ace of no small utility in an in fant settlement, that the mo uths of many of the principal r ivers produce a prodigious q uantity of oysters, both of the Mangrove and flat species ; of t he latter sort there are banks tat appear inexhaustible : tl tat with respect to food, the in abitants of this country seem a trnost to be exempted from the curse entailed upon our first pareatts."—Edward's History of the West Indies.

This Company is formed for Paving the Metropolis, and twenty miles round. The principle is a new section of the cube. The Blocks are cut across the grain, at an angle of 63 degrees 26 minutes 5 seconds and 8-10ths of a second, which causes the diagonal joining of the obtuse angles of the two parallelopides to fall in a perpendicular straight line, which laid down obliquely gives to a surface, perpetually even, all the strength of an arch. The streets of London alone comprise 6,000,000 square yards, and are kept in repair at an annual expense of 300,0001. The profits of the Company will be derived from the original laying down of the Pavement, each million of square yards yielding 150,000/, profit—and also from keeping their pave ment in repair, which on a moderae calculation will amount to 60,000/. per annum—at the same time effecting a saving of one-half of the Paving-rates to the several parishes. The pre sent orders received by the Company amount to 30,0001. 'Ne gotiations are pending for other works to a great extent.

HENRY WILSON, Actuary and Secretary. ONSUMPTION CURABLE, by Dr. J. P. C HOLAIES, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and author of a Treatise on Consumption. To be had of the . Author; Holdsworth, publisher; and all Booksellers. His method of treating this disease in the various stages of bron chitis, hemorrhage from the lungs, hooping cough, asthma, and rheumatic affections of the chest and heart, is fully de scribed in his work, and reference to individuals cured is there given. His peculiar treatment impos-s no confinement or ces sation from ordinary occupations. The author may be con sulted, from 10 to 2 daily, at his own house, 21, Old Fish street, Doctors'-commons. Application made by letter, de scribing the present state of the patient, and enclosing the fee, will meet with immediate attention, and the remedy wi be orwarded to any part of the country. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION. MESSRS. SLOA N and CO., Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE, REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE, CHEAPSIDE, may be Consulted from Eight o'Clock in the Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility, Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva lent, are treated upon those unerring principles which have in sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public pa tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be their future exertion to maintain. Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return, and patients, however distant, will be corresponded with until recovered. PACIFIC STEAM NAVIGATION COAIPANY.—Steam to the PACIFIC, touching at RIO, to land Passengers. The Company's splendid new Steam-vessels CHILE and PERU, each of about 700 tons burden, will steam and sail out for VALPARAISO, touching at RIO, to land passengers, and will ultimately proceed to LIMA. It is calculated they will perform the whole voyage iu about two months. The Chile will leave the river Thames on the 10th of Jane, and the Peru about a week afterwards. They possess every ac commodation for passengers, are elegantly fitted up, and each will carry au experienced surgeon. There is room for a few tons of measurement goods. For passage or freight apply to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 5, Barge-yard, Bucklersbury. N.B.—The steamers Chile and Peru, which will be fol lowed by others belonging to this Company, are intended for the conveyance of mails, passengers, and merchandise, along the whole of the west coast of South America, extending from Chile to Panama. They will be the means of establishing a settled communication between the various ports in the Pacific, and, in the course of next year, when the vessels of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company arc in operation in the Atlantic, the grand chain of communication by steam between the whole of that rich coast and this country will be complete. W. R. C. KENDALL, Secretary. CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Among the various disorders of the mouth, there none more destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the gums causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and produces the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other ; in short Scurvy in the Gums affects individuals of all ages and constitutions, and if not speedily removed, will be the primary cause of Tooth- Ache and decay. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following observations :—" When the disgusting effects of this aceumu , lation are considered, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance even on their own account; or if they are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ ing, a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the senses of others, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is; and the sight and the smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closerje proportion to the disgust which they occasion."—hell's Lectures, p. 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To professional men, shopkeepers, and tradesmen generally, who have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance , Besides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, very notch calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony ? And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the marriage state most grievously interrupted by the same cause. The inconveniences attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment ; but to those who have not expe rienced the comfort of artificial teeth, Monsieur Le Dray is de sirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less endured by every individual without them. When the Teeth are lost, it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, the patient is ex posed to the most distressing indigestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth are gone, a great va cuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features are completely drawn from their original position. To insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in, regard to the functions of digestion and articulation, to which they are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are so much concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it net obvious that there are many persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject--who seem scarcely aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and culpa ble negligence renders that fact too apparent to their friends and associates. Mastication is the first process of digestion, and unless it be duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on properly. It is a mistaken notion, that the mere chopping of the food is all that is required, and that "patent masticators," or any other contrivance, can supply the place of teeth. By the motion of the maxillary bon s in the communication of food, the salivary glands are compressed, and the saliva, be ing poured forth from the ducts, mingles with the food, which is turned about by the tongue until every portion of it is duly incorporated with the saliva. Then, and not till then, is it properly prepared for deglutition. So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, nervous debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips their vermillion hue, and in a word, it is no uncommon thing for the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause relaxation of the whole system ; which produces an irritable temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby we become an annoyance to our friends and a burthen to ourselves. But I need not dwell upon the numberless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know, that Mon sieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Europe, and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful cast, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. And in all cases a single application is quite sufficient to enable him to supply the loss of teeth (on his new system), without any further trouble to the Patient, or the inconvenience of a second visit. And he is also happy to state, that after many years of inde fatigable assiduity and close application to the mechanical branch of the profession, he has succeeded in discovering a method of supplying Teeth to persons residing at any distance by meat,; of his newly invented preparation, which enables the Patients to tees.' an impression of their own mouth with has been i t a li c e aa g v r e e n at ie e n st ee e ; as s e a , and vs af i t t e h r os t , h ;, e C a a l u o s d i e 7 ot t slightest pai n or ...;:t received by Mons. Le Dray, he can manufacture from one to complete set of Teeth, and return them to the parties so con structed, that they may be placed in the mouth by the wearer without the knowledge of .a second person, being arranged on a principle yet unrivalled, rendering it impossible to dis tinguish the Artificial Teeth from the Natural ones ; answering most satisfactorily all the purposes of the original Teeth in mas tication and articulation, imparting to the countenance a younger and improved appearance, protecting the adjoining and remaining perfectly secure in their places ; they may also be taken out and replaced with the greatest facility: It is respectfully intimated to Country Patients, however dis tant, they must please to state the number of Teeth required, whether back or front, and at the same time enclose a remit tance of a Sovereign, when the preparation for taking the model or measure of the mouth will be immediately forwarded to their addresses, together with a List of Prices. Letters must be post-paid—addressed as follow,—(Money Letter) Mons. Le Dray, Surgeon Dentist, 60, Newman-street, Oxford street, London. The -next point of view in which we are to consider the im portance of the Teeth, is that of their conaexion'with the grand lrerogative - ef man—the gift of speech. The teeth ar e abso utely essential to a perfect articulation, and are mainly con cerned in the modulation of the voice. Their preservation is, therefore, essential to all persons who do not seclude themselves from society ; for what can be more disagreeable than the mumbling which renders conversation a task, and robs it of half its charms; unless, indeed, it be the sputtering in one's face, which sometimes accompanies the exclusive fervour of a solo once communication. To all public speakers, whether in the senate, in the pulpit, at. the bar, or on the stage, teeth, real or artificial; are a sine qua non. Without them the graces of eloquence are lost, ansl the powers of oratory very much diminished. No person to whom a correct articulation, and a clear im pressive delivery, are of consequence, can be ignorant of the effect which the loss of teeth has upon the powers of voice, aryl none I conceive will delay to call in the aid of art; but it would be well if all such persons were impressed with this fact beforehand, as one of the strongest inducement to bestow upon their teeth the necessary care. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stand pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of com plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair, can render that lady beautiful, who, when she opens her lips (though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a good set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. On the other hand, the effects of decay, the accumu lation of tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and thy taint of the breath, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will invariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter, are an ornament, equally attractive in either sex. Those per sons who do not possess this natural advantage, shJulti endea vour. by , extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort to artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the deli• ciencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if nat an agree able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becom ing a repulsive one. Mo Is. Le Dray respectfully acquaints the nobility, gentry, clergy, and inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that he con tinues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mineral Marmoratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty of England, France, and throughout the Continent, which sub stance he is the sole inventor and possessor of. This operation is performed without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds hardens into enamel, preventing and cur ing the Tooth Ache, forming a whole Tooth out of a stump, arresting all further progress of decay, al/a)ing in one minute the most excruciating pain; and rendering the operation of ex traction unnecessary. He also fastens Loose Teeth, particular!), of aged pers"ns, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo mel, disease of the gums, or any other cause. ARTIFICIAL or NATURAL TEETH of surpassing beauty, to match equal in colour and shape those left in the mouth, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, at charges reduced to less than one half the price of any other Dentist in England.

(the ground work is composed of the most elaborate and chaste patterns of lace-vrork). Under which are the Signature and Address of the Proprietors, in Red, A. ROWLAND and SON 20, Hatton-gard ß en, London. Counter-signed, ALEX. OWLAND. The Label is backed by a design so exquisite and minute as to defy com p e tition ; it comprises the words " Rowlanri's Macassar Oil," written nearly 1,500 times, and containing 29,028 letters.

STANDARD NO Vi:LS—No. LXXXIX. 13cntley, London, 1840. The present Number of this popular Miscellany, contains the whole of Mrs. Hall's romance of " The Buccaneer," revised by the author expressly for this edition, and embellieled with two engravings from the pencil of Greatbach. " The Buccaneer," as it was the first, so also is it the best, of Mrs. Hall's numerous works of fiction ; the principal characters aro sketched with quite a mas culine vigour, especially Cromwell, who is evidently drawn COl2 amere, yet without swerving from the truth of history ; nor is there any want of grace and tender ness in the story, as is proved by the sketch of the little simple Puritan, Barbara Iverk, a delineation much to our taste, and which may almost be pronounced an ori ginal creation. The tale, however, we think, might have been compressed with advantage, for some of the dialogues—we allude more particularly to the sentimen tal ones—are spun out to a most unnecessary length. A DESCRIPTION of BRITISH GUIANA, :3-c. By ROBP:RT H. SCHOPIRURGE, Es! Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. This work gives a very full account of whatever re lates to the physical structure, natural productions, and present and future capabilities of Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice, which were united into one Colony in 1831, under the name of British Guiana. It is by far the best account of this valuable Colony that has come under our notice. The pursuit of science led the author to visit the country, where he remained for four years, studying its climate, geo logy, and vegetable and animal productions, and his great objects appear to be, to counteract the general belief of the unhealthiness of the climate, and to turn the attention of the Government and the public to it, as a desirable place for emigration and the outlay of capital. It certainly appears from returns made for twelve years between 1820 and 1832, that the climate as regards the negroes is more healthy than five or six of the West India Islands ; but this is not a correct criterion of its effect on Europeans, as it is well known that the endemic disease, which at dif ferent times has carried off so ratty whites, is n o t h a lf so fatal among the negroes. 1T it hile, however, h e ad mits the ravages has committed, he points out satisfactorily the causes and the remedy. It is cer tainly a singular fact, that the chol era , w hi c h com mitted such destruction in different parts of the world, and carried to the grave a tenth of the popula tion of Quebec, was never felt in Guiana, neither was the influenza nor the grippe. We have not room at present for noticing the numerous interesting details in the book, but recommend it to the attention of our readers. We have received another pamphlet on the same subject, by John Hancock, M.D., who resided many years in that quarter of South America, and who agrees with Mr. Schomburgk as to the richness of the soil, the salubrity of the climate in the interior, and the ample field which the colony affords for emigration. The two publications hare, indeed, a wonderful simi larity, and hold out strong hopes that under proper management, by draining the land along the sea coast, and extending colonization into the rich and beautiful plains of the interior, this colony may become the most thrivi ng and productive of any under the Crown. PERPETUATION OR EXTINCTION OF THE ECCLES IA S TICAL JURISDICTION IN TEMPORAL CONCERNS, WITH RE MARKS ON TUE - COURT OF CHANCERY, AND THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL. Br TriomAs Cr.ARx. This is a very valuable contributio n to the stock of information possessed by the public on the subject of law abuses, and it makes its appearance at a very seasonable opportunity. Lord John Russell has an Ecclesiastical Court Bill on the stocks, and Bills for new-modelling the Court of Chancery, and the Judi cial Committee of the Privy Council have been introduced into the House of Lords. Under these circumstances, whatever tends to throw light upon the pernicious working of our judicial system, and suegests the remedies which are required for evils of no slight magnitude, must, it is evident, be of the greatest importance in a national point of view. The Author of the work before us, too, is well qualified for the task he has undertaken ; for though well acquainted with law, he is not a professional lawyer. His legal knowledge has not been acquired either by swallowing a certain number of meals in Lincoln's lnn, or amidst the anti-reforming influences of a solicitor's office. it is the fruit of long and dear-bought ex perience as a suitor, and is untainted with those prejudices in favour of things as they are, and those motives of self-interest which are inseparable from what is called a professional education. As Lord John Russell's Bill is just now in abeyance, we shall at present confine our notice of Mr. Clark's book to those portions of it which relate to the Privy Council and Court of Chancery, and return on a future occasion to the subject of the Ecclesiastical Courts. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council owes its existence to Lord Brougham, who introduced a Bill into the House of Lords—which passed into a law—for establishing it, and for transferring to it the appellree jurisdiction of the Court of Delegates, a tribunal of a most vicious constitution and so anomalous and ineffi cient, that often, after a very heavy expense had been incurred in the inferior courts, it pronounced no deci sion at all on an appeal, and the way, it is said, in which the go-by was given to a puzzling or unpleasant cause, was by arranging that an even number of Delegates should attend, so that the opinion of the one-half might neutralize that of the other. The author gives an out line of the constitution and powers of the new court, which he admits to be a vast improvement upon its predecessor. It is, notwithstanding, liable to several objections, the most material of which are thus enume rated by Mr. Clark. " The imperfections of this Court include the absence of appointed periods for its convention—the want of public intelligence of its proceedings through the medium of authorised communication, and of impartial and inde pendent reports ; and it is a just ground of complaint, that the parties whose interests arc at stake should have no certainty by whom the appeal will be determined, the Judges not being always the same nor the same number—the numbers and the individuals composing the Court :being determined by unknown sug,- gcstinn or authority, independent of th© parties to the appeal. Some Judges, as in other orders of society, have higher reputations than others for ability, attention, diligence, temper, impar. tiality, and rectitude. Besides, if a question of law be submitted to four or five Judges, two or three of whom having never practised in a Court of Law, defer to the others ; a judgment, pronounced as if of unanimity, is virtually the judgment of; not the Court, but only a portion of it ; and so, on the other hand, in equity and ecclesiastical appeals upon written evidence taken by forms foreign to the habits of the Law Judges, and decided on different principles and peculiar practice and precedent, e ac h Judge in turn having an equal voice, though with un equal competency to form a judgment." The author proceeds to suggest the revival of an an cient practice in our Courts of Law, namely, that o f allowing suitors to challenge the Judges, and th e necessity of securing not only a presiding Judge or head to this Court of final appeal, but also the frequent attendance of the chiefs of the Common Law and Equity Courts. then notices the conflicting principles and precedents of these Courts, and the awkward position of the Common Law Judges in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Coun cil, who being sworn to a d m i n i ster j ust i ce according to law, are nevertheless condemned to be guided by pre cedents and practice without any foundation either in law or reason. Mr. Clad: then caters upon the un constitutional character of the Court cf Chancery, and shows the danger to liberty and property of entrusting so much uncontrolled power to the Chancellor. an individual, combining, in his own person, the offices of Judge and Jury, and having to decide upon an amount of property twelve times as great as that which comes - antler the adjudication of all the Law Courts taken together. He corroborates his own state ments and reasonings on the enormous abuses and ab surd constitution of this Court, by copious citations from the highest legal Authorities:fromßacon toßrougliam and recommends various alterations, many of which have the sanction of high n ames, and all of which would, in our opinion, h e improvereeats. For trial by jury , in all cases where matt2rs of fact are to be decided upon, he argues powcrfuliy, and we think, unanswerably. N o one, indeed, can read this part of the work (the 6th 7. " The possessor eta multitude of hettregenous scraps of power too various to b© enumerated. All these discordent bodies you see isc;osed in one robe, that every one may corrupt another if it b• possible, and that the due discharge of the functioss of any one of them may be impassible —such is the care and providence of chaos." We shall return to the examination of Mr. Ciark's able work, and in the meantime we take the liberty of recommending the perusal of it to the MeMbers of both Houses of Parliament. They will derive from it much knowledge, and much valuable assistance in le gislating: on the important subjects, with tisk it. p tgeii are occupied. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECT OF MONOPOLY.

TIMES —ln the English Stock Market the announcia ment from the Bank produced no effect, fur there is so . ntuch regularity in the appearances of such notices tilac that they are generally anticipated. Money has not bee' in demand, and Consols have been all day ut 924 to for cash, and 93i for the opening. Exchequer Bills have ad vanced a little. aid are quoted at 24 to 6 premium. The financial affairs of Spain still Lave a most unsatis factory appearance, and the prices come flat from the bourse of Madrid. This was settling-day in the Share Market, and the settlement went off very easily. Some persona had bought more Brighton shares than they were prepared to take, and these being thrown into the market produced a tem porary depression in the price. They closed at 41 to discount. Great Western are quoted 29 to 30 premium, and were actually bought at 293. Birmingham aro sta tionary at 86 to 8 premium.. Much error seems to exist in the city relative to the mission of Marshal Saldanha to this country, but we un derstand that it is limited to such an arrangement as cir cumstances may render practicable with the various claim ants on Portugal connected with the late contest in that country, and has nothing to do with the creditors who are holders of the public debt of the Government. The ground assumed by Marshal Saldanha is, that the claimants C4l Portugal who have had the support of the British Go vernment have submitted, as yet, to no complete investiga tion into the amount of their claims, and he rlkuires that to he done before he awards the sum which 1* due. lie will then grant bills on the Treasury at Lisbon for the respective amounts, and the Cortes will be applied to when the proper time arrives to vote the sum required su pay those bills. Another loss was plaocd on the books at Lloyd's this morning, in the risk of which the underwriters of the room are deeply concerned. It is the Chase, Brown, with a valuable cargo of twist, front Hull, for St. Pstersburgh. She struck during a hard easterly gale on the morning of the 10th (12th) of May, 12 miles to the westward of Nargo Island, and foundered so suddenly, in 41 fathoms of water, that the crew with difficulty reached the stern boat to pro ceed to the Canada, from Sunderland, four miles distant. There was no chance of sating any part of the cane. It is said as much as 60,0001. was done upon her by Lloyd's men at a premium of 10a. per cent. She *as a regular trader, and, being considered a choice vessel, the risk was never refused. This makes the fourth heavy loss posted at Lloyd's this week, the two previous ones being the .9t/antic, Morton, from Dundee to Quebec, aid the iilagnet, from Liverpool to Montreal. A letter has beet received from the captoin of the Vulture, the loss of which was mentioned yesterday, stating that all the [mailmen and crew were safe, and that nearly 400 cheats of indigo, besides several cases of hardware, bad keen got on shore, lik ors ise a box of gold, and bonds to the value of 5,0.90/.

Willcox and Anderson, by wbons the plan was oi4inated for the Peninsular and Oriental Stearn Navigation Company. The new steam-ship 0 risn,tal (lately known as the United States), of 1,500 tons and 450 horsepower, will, it is expected, start from Ports. mouth or Southampton on the Ist of August, ail arriv-• at Alexandria on the 14th ; an d vessels of this size sad power will thenceforward continue to depart on the Ist of every month, and arrive with the homeward mails about the 7th or SW of evert' month. SUN ,Tn Bank notice had no effect npon Ikeda. Smateparties thtiught there might bea reduction in the of interest to 4 , 1 per cent., while others imagined that Exchequer Bills and India Bonds would not have been included. Both appear, however, to have been out in their calculation, as the interest remains at 5 per omit. The Cons-As were steady, but not buoyant, tiok after noon. The settlement in the Foreign and Share Markets has some influence on prices. For money Consols l e ft off at 92y, and for time at 93g. Exche quer Bills rose to 26 premium. Business in the Foreign Market is still restricted. Spanish Stock has been flat this afternoon in coute.- . quence of some sales effected by speculators with a view, it is said, of depressing the market. The Active, fell from 2SI to '2: 4 1.
