A large quantity of Stock was sold on Tuesday,
by orders from the country ; to one house in Bris-
tol were remitted tIOO,OOOI , and to another in
Newcastle, 150,0001. in Haul.-notes. The sacs
were Sermiblv felt on the Stock Exchange ; they
were said to Lave been ninth, by some banking esta-
blishments, under the apprehension of a run upon
tl'cnt.

Letters from Scotland, received on Tuesday morn-
ing, state, that the par of exchange with England
(4.5 days) will in future be reduced to ; that the
bankers have had a general meeting, and bad conic

The legion raised by General Devereux, in •Ire-
land, for the support of the South Ammican Pa-

This legion, comprehending cavalry and influttry, is
said to amount to 5,000 men, completely equipped.
But such is the enthusiasm of the frisls•iu MVour. ef

It is a remarkable-Met, that there arienow tiring

his Lordship, the youngest of whom is SO yea:solid,
and whose tiniied ages amount to 692 years.
Numerous seizures of paper, with false.stamps on.
the wrapper enclosing each ream. have been recently
made in Bristol. It ot impossible for a consumer to
detect the false stamps; but the paper is forfeited,
although the shopkeeper may be ignorant of the '
fraud. Paper of this description is purchased fr3m
persons who are in the habit of offering it ?It almost
every shop in the city, at prices greatly below those
of the honest manufacturer ; and we are assured
that scarcely a ream of such paper pa) ; the regular
duty.
The operations of the fact week at the. Stock Ex-
change have been chiefly confitted to speculation,
and there‘we addled no just crack ion of the reel
of the money market. The prices,. on the average,
have. been.lower Otto on the preceding week—an .
effect produued by the sale of money, made for the.
purpose of assisting.some franking establishments. in
different parts of the kingdom, who had• deemed it
prudent to be prepared for the consequences of a run
upon them.. Thus the few transectiens nut arising
from speculation, have tended to Maher the -views
of that body of speculators, now by Mr the most.
powerful, who arc endeavouring to depress the funds.
But, however powerful this body may be, the ap-.
mach of the settlement of the account, which .takes
place on- Friday next, is said to have caused. an
alarm among them, amply justified by the extent of
their transactions. As the stock sold i-, many times
greater. in amount than they would. be able. if
called upoot to deliver, (and they. cannot•te • sure
that no such call will.be made), the settling-thy
may be fatal to many of them; indeed,. it is well
known that the opposite ,party, under the persuasion
of this over-speculation, are raising money in every
direction, and otherwise preparing themselves to
demand the delivery of the stock they hose bought.
TLe speculators-for a fall will then be compelled to
purchase stock, in order to deliver it, and as such
compukorrpurchases never fail to raise the market,
they will thug be forced to second 641:kers of their
opponents. The alarm among theme's-Baia to have
been evident on Thursday and Friday last, and to
have been the more immediate cause for the improve-
ment in the price of stock which took place in those
'days. Otuniunt closed on Saturday at a discount of
per cent.; and in Consols for the opening the last
. price was 694.

We understand that his Honour the Vice Chan-
