This being " making-up" day in the Consol market,
the settlement of the month's account has been in
, and the actual business has consequently
progress,
iresesonsiderably smaller than yesterday's. The
settling appears to be passing off very quietly, with
the rate of continuation to the next account of the
14th Oct., ruling at 4. Under the influence of the
presence of the government broker, who purchased a
parcel of Consols at 96:, prices have been steadily
supported at yesterday's range. Considerable interest
has been excited by the quasi corroboration of the
accounts of the Bathurst gold discoveries, conveyed
in the arrival at Pernambuco of a large lump of gold
weighing 4lbs., which is now on its way to this
country per the Thomas Arbuthnot, as announced in
the second edition of to-day's Daily News.
Consols rule steady at 961 to ; for cash, and 96;
to k for the 14th October. The official list reports
the business figures as follows:—Three per Cent.
Consols, 961 I • ditto for account, 961; Three per
Cents. ReduCell, 97k; New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 981, ; • Long Annuities, 1860, 7; ; ditto

In the unfunded securities there is no change.
Exchequer Bills continue quoted 455. to 48s. prem.,
and India Bonds, 495. to 52 prem.
In the foreign stock market the transactions con-
tinue chiefly limited to one description, Mexican, in
which fluctuations to the extent of per cent., have
this morning occurred. A slight disposition to sup-
port the market was observable at the commence-
ment of business, but sellers again pressed eagerly
forward, and 261 to 27, is the best quotation at pre-
sent obtainable, the general feeling being decidedly
heavy. A communication, presumed to be from the
Mexican committee, will be found below, in which
it will be seen no allusion is made to the amount of the
remittances on dividend account received by the Dee.
To one or two of our contemporaries, however, Col.
Facio has furnished a statement, showing the
total reeepts to be 57,246 dollars 20e.,, of
which 45,246 dollars 20c. are from Vera
Cruz (being the sum advised in the telegraphic dis-
patch of yesterday), and 12,000 dollars from Tam-
pa°. There has also been received, it appears, the
bill of lading of 13,656 dollars, shipped at -Mazatlan,
per H.M.B. Champion. It is needless, however, to
point out how utterly inadequate are the
small sums as yet received to meet the
requirements of the next dividend, and it remains
to be seen how the requisite amount is to be made
up. The prices of to-day's business are as follows :
Danish Three per Cents. 1825, 781, 1, 78. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 59Z. Mexican Bonds
for account, 16th September, 27; 1,1, 261, 27.
Russian Five per Cents., 112. Sardinian Five per
Cents., 824.

For the last hour Lothbury has been filled with
the waggons of Chaplin and Horne bringing from
the Waterloo terminus the gold and silver bullion of
the Dee, including 140 tons weight of silver and 30
tons of gold.

The official communication of the Spanish am-
bassador to the morning organ of the absolutist so-
vereigns on the affair of Cuba, has come rather in-
felicitously, as the inference deduced is, that the
Spanish cause is more desperate than was conceived,
and consequently the dealers on the Stock Exchange
having taken the alarm, the quotations of Spanish
bonds were this afternoon depressed. The state-
ment of the Spanish ambassador is at the same time
wanting in certain information, and abounding with
improbabilities, while it contains such admissions as
most seriously detract from the conclusions sought to
be imposed by the writer. According to this version
it is intended to bo believed that General Enna at-
tacked, with two hundred men, 350 of the invading
force, well armed, and strongly intrenched in the
village of Las Poses. The idea of charging stone
walls with the bayonet is novel, and it may well be
believed tho revolvers of tho Cubans and English
posted in Las Poses drove General Enna back.
From the 12th or 13th General Enna " remained
without being at all molested till the 15th," or per-
haps the 16th, the invaders remaining inactive, but by
some miraculous process being reduced in numbers to
200. At this date General Enna mast have had
under his command some fifteen hundred men, in-
cluding 150 cavalry and two field pieces, and on
preparing for a move in advance, found that General
Lopez had "contrived to leave the village of Las
Pow." The only consistent conclusion to be drawn
from these admissions is that General Lopez suc-
ceeded in making good his landing, and completely
defeated General Enna at Las Poses, who lost at
least 200 men. At the same time a party of 100
men, detached by General Lopez at El Monde, was
cut off, and after a desperate conflict 50 taken pri-
soners while attempting an escape by sea, and who
being carried to the Havana, were there shot in
cold blood. General Enna must have retreated out
of sight of Las Poses, and the country must have
been unfriendly to him, or he would have known of
Lopez's change of position. After the victory of Las
Poses, Lopez had two clear days for making any
movement he pleased for receiving reinforcements
and communicating with the other Cuban forces in
arms, and with the energy which has charac-
terised the expedition throughout, it seems very
unlikely this time was ill-spent. What was the course
taken by Lopez cannot be determined, but it is no-
ticed as suspicious that the latter part of the despatch
represents Lopez as being harassed by the three co-
lumns under General Enna from Las Poses on the
16th, when they had evidently missed him ; and a
further contradiction to the complete defeat of Lopez
is, that the force under General Enna is drawn back
to the coast, where there are likewise forces under
Brigadier Rosales and Colonel Elijalor.
The following paper has been left at our office,sup-
rotto bo from the committee of Mexican bond-
s, but not authenticated:
The committee of Mexican bondholders have, by the
royal mail steam-packet Dee, received advices fromMr.Fal-
connet, dated 4th August. He was continuing his endea-
vours to obtain accounts of the duties and tobacco revenue
belonging to the old bonds, and had hopes of coming to a
satisfactory arrangement with Messrs. Manning and
Mackintosh, without having recourse to law proceedings.
Mr. Falconeet was led to believe that the government had
recalled Mr. Payno, and named Colonel Facio charge d'af-
faires ad interim.

Besides the above letter, the purport of which was
known yesterday, the Dee brings in 45,246 dollars
for the bondholders, and further alarm has thereby
been caused, as it is known that the remittances are
utterly insufficient for the dividend, and it is not
supposed that Mr. Payno, if he remains, or Colonel
Facto, if he takes office, can get any other capitalist
to give money for the next half-yearly dividend. A
complete panic now prevails among the holders of
Mexican bonds, and the organs of the Mexican offi-
cials here have (*Reed to publish assertions of the
abundant resources of Mexico. Notwithstanding
the exertions made to prevent the true state of Mexi-
can affairs coming to light, the bonds have, in conse-
quence of the information afforded by us, fallen in
the last few months about 10 per cent., or to the
value of one million sterling; whereas a system of
candour and honesty in blind/min administration
would at least have preserved, on the part of capi-
talists here, a feeling of dependence on the good
faith of the country, which is now utterly lost, and
holders feel doubtful whether they shall receive the
indemnity instalment, and when the
_y shall get
another dividend. In every quarter the prospects
of the bondholders are very bad, and the accounts
from Mexico become daily more unsatuifactory.
Be-
sides the indisposition of the governors of Mexico,
Pueblo, and Queretaro to promote the intended eon-
grem of governors, and the ill state of affairs in
Oututaxuato and Sonora, there are bad accounts from
Flascala, Yucatan, and Oajaca. From the latter
state we have advice' which represent public opinion
as most excited by the financial schemes of Mr. Pins
y Cuevas, and fully confirming all that we have be-
fore reported as to the tendency of these measures.
