Vallitill rumours have been circulated on the Stock Exchange thia
morning, all of which have tended to depress the Funds; or at least
those who wished for •a• fall have trumpeted them about as Hosea
that must produce a decline in prices. One of the rumours is, that
an armistice had been agreed upon between the Greeks and Turks,
and that a final arrangement of their differences was to be attempted
through the mediation of Austria and Russia, under the guarantee
of England; another was, that Mr. Hoskisson's opinion regarding
the Corn Laws would lead to a depression; by withdrawing a large
quantity of capital out of the country in payment for foreign corn
a third report was, thaf Mr. Canning bad tendered his resignation,
in consequence of the little chance that now appeared to remain of
carrying the Catholic Question, and the convulsion that he antici.
pated in Ireland if that measure were not carried. Consols fur the
Account were at 991 11, and for Money at 911 921.
This was settling-day in the Foreign Market, and there was bu
little business done beyond the immediate transactions connected
with that circumstance. Spanish Bonds maintained themselves
firmly ct.yesterdsy's quotation, although wooknow that a temporary
decline vas anticipated with reference to the settling to-day. The
Old were at 21 I. and the New at 19. Greek Scrip was lf f, and
the Bonds 511. South American Securities still get wane ; but we
incline to the belief that their retrogression was principally owing
to this morning's'f:ettlement. Colombian Bonds were Of 89, and

Letters have been received from the city of Mexico,
dated the 'AI February. In one that we have seen, the
following passage occurs :—" We cannot comply with
your request of writing about politics, for there is really
no public news to communicate. The most perfect tran-
quillity prevails." General Santa Antis had issued- a
Proclamation to the inhabitants of Yucatan, stating that
be had instituted a judicial inquiry into the rumours of a
supposed design to separate the province from the Mexican
Confederation.

Letters from the Havannah of the 12th of March state
that great alarm is felt there at the idea of an invasion by
the Colombians. One of the leading merchants had pro-
ceeded to La: thagena on the private mission from the inde-
pendent party. The Governor had ordered s•.als to he
placed on his property, which is to be confiscated unless
he returns within a certain period. '
A letter from Puerto Cabello, of the 9th March, men-
tions that the blockade of that port by the French ships of
war had been raised.

We have received a file of the Australian, a paper newly
established at Sydney, New South Vales, to the 11th No-
vember inclusive. The intelligence which these papers
contain respecting the colony is rather important, as the
Courts established in the Colony, under the new Act of
Parliament, have been for the first time brought into
operation. A Court of Quarter Session having been as-
sembled,
a doubt arose whether the Magistrates should I
summon jurymen to assist them, and the matter was
brought before the Chief Justice of the Colony, who,
being of opinion that a jury should be summoned, issued
a mandamus to the Magistrates. A jury was summoned
accordingly, but in the formation of it all persons who
had not come free to the Colony (the convicts) were care-
fully excluded. The Australian condemns the policy of
this exclusion, as tending to widen that division among the
inhabitants which already exists. Sir Thomas Brisbane,
anxious to promote the welfare and prosperity of Australia,
had fitted out a party to explore the country for four or
five hundred miles in the interior, to the southward and
westward of Lake George. Sir Thomas had embarked
with his suite on board his Majesty's colonial brig Amity,
destined to visit the new Settlement at Moreton Bay. It
is thought his Excellency will be absent on this tour of in-
spection abont three or four weeks.
It is rumoured, that on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill
coming up to the Lords from the Commons, a message will
be read from his Majesty dissolving the Parliament, and
recommending the consideration of the question early in
the next Session.—Dublin Paper.

received them in the most affectionate manner.
