MR. WAKEFIELD.

ft was known yesterday evening that the bill of indictment
against Mr. Wakefield was to be presented to the Grand .lury to-
day, and the Court accordingly at an early hour this morning pre-
sented on anxious assemblage of both sexes, who' hoped to gain a
sight of Miss Turner when she should come into Court to be
sworn. At about halr.past nine o'clock, the curiosity of the spec.
tutors was partially gratified. A general movement in the Court
announced the approach of Hiss Turner, and in a few moments,
attended by her father, and several other gentlemen, she made her
appearance, and toak the usual oath. Miss Turner was dressed in
deep mourning, and a thick veil, which covered her face entirely,
interfered most ill-naturedly with the gaze of the curious,,and
prevented us front gaining a view of the features which have matte
so much noise in the world. As soon as the young lady had taken
the oath. she was conducted ma room situated near the entrance into

the NisiPriusCourt,and there awaited a summons to attend tlte6rand
Jury. After remaining there a short time she proceeded to the timnd
Jury room, and having been examined there, was again conducted
to the room which she had occupied before she had gone before the
Grand Jury. The place of her retreat was no sooner discovered, than
every avenue leading to it was blocked up by crowds of spectators.
:Hiss Turner remained with her friends in the room a considerable

time, calculating probably on a diminution of the troublesome
anxiety of the crowd without. At leng,h the door of the room was
opened, and every spectator stood on tip-toe to gain a view of the
lady, who was expected to come forth. Curiosity, however, was
once more bathed; Miss Turner did make her appearance, but she
appeared in company with three other young•ladies of her own
height and figure, who bore so strong a resemblance to herself, that
it was impossible to tell which was Miss Turner. The crowd,
however, followed the party to their lodgings.
Shortly after six the Grand Jury came into Court, and returned a
true bill against Edward IVakefield, fur a misdemeanor, under the
Statute of William and Mary ; also a trite bill against Edward G.
Wakefield, William Wakefield, Edward Thvenot, and Francis
Wakefield, for a cunspirag.

LONDON, MONDAY, AuGurr 14, 1846.

The French Morning Papers of Friday contain the
various measures adopted by the Government of Ports-
gal, in order to conduct the proceedings on the ceretnany
of taking the oath of adhesion to the new order of things.
All the Chiefs of the military and naval forces have sent
the most respectful addresies to the INFANTA on this oc-
casion. The Portuguese Governors of Yelves, Almeida,
and several other frontier fortresses, have made complaints
to the Governors of Badajoz and Ciudad Rodrigo, con-
cerning the printing in Spain, and circulating in Portugal,
of great numbers of incendiary publications.
It appears that three of the cords broke at the execution
of the Russian conspirators, and a quarter of an hour was
employed in repairing of the damage before the sentence
could be completely carried into effect. The packet-boat
which left Corfu on the 21th July, and has this instant ar-
rived, brings news that Lord Coeur-axe has arrived in
the Archipelago at the head of a considerable force. The
English Consul in Trieste has received official infirmation
of it.

Lisbon Papers to the 22(1 ult. and Frankfort Papers to
the 6th instant have been received. They do not contain
any thing of consequence which has not been previously
anticipated.

We have received American Papers to the 17th ult., but
are compelled, by the length of our Assize intelligence, to
abridge our extracts. The death of Mr. JEFFERSON, as
mentioned in the extract from the New Furl• Albion,
quoted in the British Press, is now fully confirmed by
these papers, which are tilled, in a great measure, with the
details of the honours which have been paid to those
departed worthies.

Letters from Monte Video of the 17th May have been
received, via Boston. It appears that Admiral PINTOS
has proceeled in the leg; t. Peranga to relieve Admiral
Lono:—

MONTE VIDEO, MAY 14.

The new Brazilian Admiral has arrived from Rio Janeiro with
twn frigates and twoitine brigs of ear. Ile immediately suspended
Admiral Lobo, ant three of his Captains, and sent them to Rio
Janeiro to ibe tried by la Court Martial. These three Captains
commanded three tine corvettes, and were replaced by three Eng.
lishmen, men of known coinage and activity. The Admiral has
made fresh arrangements for effecting the most vigorous block-
ade of Buenos Ayres; the three Brazilian frigates are to cruise be-
tween this place and Point Indio, and a line of schooners will
be placed across the river, at signal distance, so as to prevent any
vessels getting up. Five corvettes and four brigs, with a number
of small vessels, are to go up the river to attack Admiral Brown,
and prevent Buenos Ayres from procuring supplies of wood ; and
we are daily looking for die arrival of some bomb-vessels from Rio
Janeiro. for the purpose of bombarding Buenos Ayres.

With reference to the remark in the Times about the
detention of the steam-boats intended to accompany Lord
COCHRANE in his expedition, the result of our inquiries
is, that the. machinery in some cases has not been found to
answer the purpose for which it was intended ; and this is
the principal cause of the delay. We understand, how-
ever, that Custom-house officers have been placed on board
these vessels, who arc to continue in them till they pass
Gravesend.

CITY, SATURDAY EvExtsci.
The various reports in circulation yesterday, put forth
for the purpose of depression, having passed off without
proof of any reality attaching to them, Consols have again
advanced in the market : at the opening this morning they
were at Its, and as some large purchasers came in they
attained a quotation of 761, and at the close of the day
that was the price for the Account. Exchequer Bills and
India Bonds have suffered depression, in consequence of
large sales for the London Bankers; and it is reported,
though the statement has not received much credit, that
large sales have been made on account of Government. It
is confidently asserted that a further issue of Exchequer
Bills will take place previous to the October dividend.
Exchequer Bills at the close of the day did not realize more
than 15s rm., and India Bonds were done at '26. The
old Four per Cents. showed more business than usual to-
day, and the consequence was an advance took place to 95,
though at the close of the market they could not be quoted
beyond 941. The payments on the new Four per Cent.
Scrip are nearly completed, and it is expected that by the
end of the month these Funds will take their regular situ-
ation in the list.

In the Foreign Market, Mexican Bonds have still fur-
ther declined; at the opening they were 501, but fell even-
tually to st3i. The report in circulation as to had news
from Mexico was revived, and it was confidently asserted
that the Government in question was wholly incapable of
liquidating the dividends becoming due, and, indeed, that
it laboured under considerable embarrassment to meet its
home engagements. These assertions are quite in keeping
with the feelings of a large body of speculators In the Fo-

14101..

reign Market, and, strange to say, with those who origi.
trolly were the principal promoters of the Loan to this Re-
,public.. The Bonda at the close of the Market, however,
Were done at 31, which may be attributed as much to the
scarcity of the commodity as to any other consideration.
The parties for sustaining their price were cn the alert
with a counter-statement, to the effect that the Mexican
Government had changed their Agents in this country,
and that the Dividends were shipped, and insured at Lloyd's.
It is frtiO that such is the case as regards a sum of money
coming from Mexico; but it is also known that there are
other demands upon the rends in question, equal to the
amount of theshipment.
The transactions in Colombian Bonds have been of a
very limited nature, the question of the payment of the
dividends being stilt matter of uncertainty. It is strongly
denied that there is the slightest existing connexion in the
money transactions of this Government and that of Mexico.
It may be so, but there is that unfortunate similarity in
their difficulties that certainly favours a contrary opinion.
In the Share Market there has not been much done to-day.
Brazilian and Tlalpukahua arc each something lower.
It is very difficult to say what is at this moment the real
state of improvement in the manufacturing districts, all the
letters varying an much as to the real facts, according to
the views and opinions of the various writers. It is tole-
rably certain, however, that symptoms of impatience are be-
ginning to show themselves in some places, which the dis-
affected will doubtless endeavour to turn to account, while
at the same time agents from foreign countries are actively
engaged in enlisting recruit; for their manufactories abroad.

Triarthey will be auccevsful to a certain extent must be
expected, for it is next to impossible that men in a state of
destitution, such as unfortunately now presses upon so
large a body of our manufacturers, can resist the specious
temptations held out by those who, of course, paint the
advantages of migration in glowing colours. Whether the
individuals vvlio accept the offers in question will eventually
benefit themselves by the change admits of very serious
doubt and apprehension.
