I MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY lemma.
Console n ere perfectly stitionary to-day, business
being
_mceedingly dull. The price did not vary from
Saturday's range of 11$) to !, both for money and
the account of the 13th of October. No other Eng-
lish government stock was touched throughout the day.
The intelligence of the discovery of a plot against
the life of the French President was received with
calmness. It is observed that the Minister of Police
is stated to have had his eye upon the " conspirators"
throughout, and it is shrewdly Insinuated that that
functionary possibly knows more of the hatching of
the plot than anybody else.
The March *lixeftequer Bills were currently
quoted 71s. to 745. prem., but the bulk of the pur-
chases was effected et 735. prem. The Juno bills
were called 675. to 70.. prem., with a preponderance
of sellers. India bonds are 1

rise tole contest. It is satisiketoryierstorthat Mr. Secre-
tary Webster is alive to the necessity of endeavour-
ing to stave off the embroilment which his own
rash conduct has provoked. The last effusion of the
American Secretary, is which he proceeds further to
demolish the hopes of the guano speculators, is ad-
dressed to Captain Jewett, and is as follows:—
Department of State, Washington, Aug. 21, 1852.
Sir,—Your letter of the 16th instant, with the accompany-
ing papers, relative to your proceedings for the purpor: of
taking guano from the Lobos islands, has been received.
Since the one addressed to yea by this department, under
data 'he sth, in answer to yours of the 2nd of June last, in-
formation has reached the department that the Peruvian'
government elainu jurisdiction over these islands, and that I
in 1842 it issued two decrees prohibiting any foreign weasels,
upon the penalty of confiscation, from removing guano from
any of the islands near the coast of Peru, without a license
from that government. Under these circumstances, it is
expected that the vessels which have proceeded thither
under your auspices will not make use of the arms, with
:rhich it appears, from your letter of the 16th instant, they
are provided, for the purpose of forcibly resisting the Peru-
vian authorities. You must be aware that such a resistance
would be an act of private war, which can never receive
any countenance from this government. The naval corn.
mender of the United States in the Pacific, will also, under
existing circumstances, bo directed to abstain from protect •
ing any vessels of the United States which may visit those
islands for purposes forbidden by the decrees of the Peru-
vian government, until he shall receive further orders.
Some of the statements contained in your letter of the
2nd of June last, bad a tendency to mislead us, and, as in-
timated above, may, it is apprehended, have done so.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
DANIJIL WIIISTIII.

To James C. Jewett, Esq., New York.
After this denunciation of any expedition against
the islands as an " act of private war," it remains to
be seen what further steps will be taken by the
American shipmasters. A despatch from the Secre-
tary of the Navy to the United States commodore
commanding in the Pacific has also been published,
and is to the following effect:
August 25, 1852.
direction of the President, you Cr. hereby in-
structed to suspend, until further orders, the execution of
the order addressed to you under date of June 18, 18.32, and
you are required to abstain from aiding or abetting any
citizens of the United States who may forcibly resist the
execution of the laws of l'cru by the authority of that re.

The Medway has arrived from Port Phillip with
no less than 65,051 ounces of gold. The Ganges is
also reported off the coast with a further amount of
17,852 ounces from Sydney. These two arrivals make
up an aggregate of 82,903 ounces, worth no less than
330,000!. This is not only the largest quantity of gold
that has reached our shores from Australia in one day,
,but is also one of the largest ever received in this
country from any quarter of the world, and is the
' more worthy of notice from its heralding the influx
of those enormous quantities which are known to be
lyingb at the diggings, in the Australian ports, or on
of vessels in the harbour, which hitherto have
been unable to get away with their precious
freight, owing to the scarcity of seamen. By
the end of the present, and the beginning of
next, year, it is to be expected that the in-
flux of gold from the south will have perma-
nently set in; and when this takes place, a very de-
cided effect cannot fail to be produced in our markets,
should polities remain quiet.
Our anticipation of a speedy rise in the price of
silver was fully borne out to-day, the specie and bul-
lion brought in by the Parana real sing an advance
of no less than Id. per ounce, both for dollars and
ban. The dollars wore sold at 4s. 11d. per oz., and
bar silver at sa. 0/d. per oz. standard. The whole
was taken for India, to the strong demand for which
quarter this marked rise is solely owing.
The preliminary announcement of the " Bank of
India " has been made. A million sterling of capital
is proposed to be raised, and a Royal charter is to
be applied for; but as yet the directorate is not set-
tled. The preliminary prospectus of the " Commer-
cial and Miners' Busk of Australia," with a capital
of 300,0001., has likewise been issued, but in this in-
stance, also, the names of the parties under whose
auspices the undertaking is to bo introduced to the
public, are for the present withheld.
The East India Company have issued notice that
the rate of exchange at which they will receive cash
for bills on Bengal and Madras, will from the present
date, and until further notice, be 2s. Id. per Com-
pany's rupee, and for bills on Bombay, 2s. 1 id. per
rupee. This is arise of Id. per rupee.
A very singular feature was noticed in the colonial
market to-day, in the shape of orders to buy rico on
United States account. The extensive inundations
in the rice districts of the south are referred to as the
reason of this extraordinary operation. Upon this
subject it may be useful to quote the circular of
Messrs. Thiermann and Pringle, of Baltimore, re-
ceived to-day by the America, which states :
Rtes.—More brilliant prospects of a crop have, p, rhaps,
been more suddenly and more effectually blighted,
than those of the rice crop now are. Until the appearance
of the disastrous freshet, we were assured of en abundant
ffield of this grain. The venom could not have been more
avourable. Cooper River, for the first time for a number
of years, was spared from salts, and from all sides the most
cheering accounts were received. We expected a crop, not
only abundant is quantity, but also excellent in quality.
New, however, the estates on two of our principal riven,
the Suttee and Savannah, are overflowed, while in other
parts of the country, injury to a less extent has been done.
A conjecture may be formed of the damage that will arise
therefrom, as the grain is now ready for the harvest. If
the waters do not speedily subside, the destruction in the

the reduction of tl:c wine duties, Mr. Cyrus IteikEng
has drawn up an abstract of the evidence given
More the parliamentary rominittie, and just pub-
Halted in the shape of a ponderous blue-bcok. Mr.

srrteprices. To render the results strictly accurate,
the proportion of interest which may have accrued

DEATO OF MIL &WM.— This gentleman, for
many years well-known to numbers as the proprietor of
the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road, died on Saturday left,
at Boulogne-sue-111er, in the Olth year of his age.
SHOCKING ACCO)ENT.—On Friday, the 17th inst.,
a coroner's inquest was held at the Swan Inn, Nlateteg,
touching the death of Thomas Thomas, labourer, aged 49,
who was unfortunately deprived of life under iircum-
stances singularly painful and horrifying. From the eei.
dente adduced before the coroner and jury, it would app--
pear that the deceased, together with a man nam.d J.
Sullivan, was at work on the day preceding at the Idaesteg
Ironworks, and was engaged in filling bliu:kband in a cal-
cined state from a "clamp," preparatory to iks being con-
veyed to the blast furnaces. 'lnc two men had just com-
pleted the process of ...giving the piles," a kind of massive
iron wedge, down into the clamps by means of sledge ham-
mers, fur 'the purimee of separating the molten ore, and
were. at the moment of the accident, engaged with a large
iron bar in detaching portions of the ore, which often consists
of solid lumps several tone in weight. Having succeeded in
effecting this, they both unfortunately lost their footing,
and were in an instant precipitated into the burning chasm
between the clamp and the lump which bad just separated
from it. Sullivan succeeded in making his escape, severely,
though not dangerously burnt, while his less fortunate
companion was in the space of a few minutes literally
roasted alive, and the smoke and sulphur rendering it im-
possible to know the precise spot where he lay, until the
devouring element had effectually done its work. The
°barred remains of the deceased, who but a few minutes
previously had 40 vigorously wielded the ponderous iron
sledge, were eventually taken out of the tire by mean- of a
soker's " rabble." Verdict, " Accidental death."—Ssrati.
