SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 7th contain no news
of much interest. The Clamor Publico says that
five infantry regiments are to be suppressed. The
death of the Bishop of Santander is announced. A
letter of the Bth says.:—" A royal decree in the
Gazette places the control of the navy under a
board consisting of the Minister of Marine, seven
members, and t►vo secretaries. The floating debt
rose during August by 1,000,000 reals, and was
on the 31st ult. 606,043,333 reals (the real is
worth five sous.) The cholera continues at Tolosa,
Zarauz, Fontarabia, and other towns on the Bidaa-
soa ; it is also increasing in the Asturias."

A letter from Elsinore, in the Cologne Gazette,
states that a rumour is current of its being the
intention of the British Government to let the
fleet winter in the Swedish port of Landscrona,
which rarely freezes. Negotiations on the subject
are said to be going on between Stockholm and
London.

RUSSIAN VERSION OF THE QUEEN'S

VISIT TO PARIS.

We borrow the following statement from the Invalid(
Rwse :
The visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert °
Louis Napoleon has proved a failure. The fetes givenW
the -British Queen were very poor and mean afftlist
strikingly manifesting the exhaustion to which 1116
French nation has been reduced by the impious war le
which it is engaged against the children of the Orthodcd
Church, and its father, our august Sovereign.
The fete at the Hotel do Ville, given by the city eit
Paris at the dictation of the Emperor, surpassed in de
uess and heaviness anything of the kixd hitherto Pi
tempted. The Rue de Rivoli, and a portion of the
quays, were decorated with some old flags, which were
mostly worn-out theatrical properties. The Place oftb
Hotel de Ville was stuck about with a few smoky 10,14!
enclosed in coloured paper. The vestibule was bus'
with bunches of faded flowers, and tapestry of the F.
description, behind which some bands were st.ttioae
which played " God Save theueen," and "Ride 13r1"
tannia," out of tune, whilst theQ populace outside WS
" Marlbruk."
A few persons collected in lines between the Tufleriei
and Hotel de Ville to see their
-Majesties. They cried
"A bus les Anglais !" and " rise Henri Ging I' Old
some shouts of " Vire la Republique " were also millgs
with their imprecations.
The Royal personages were hissed all the way to ea
NIP:
cennes, and at one of their visits to the Exhibition
oyster-shell was thrown at the Royal party.
The review in the Champ de Mars was a miser
eit
demonstration. The French army, decimated by
defeats in the Crimea, could furnish but a mere handl'
of men for the occasion.
At the Tomb of old Napoleon, the Queen evinced ar
easiness, and the Emperor frowned.
Queen Victoria remarked, in the hearirg of her Ai lift!,
that the display at Versailles was nothing, comPareu
that exhibited every night at the tea-gardens at Lon
delh
called Cremorne. of
The fireworks prepared to signalise the depar—L.
her Britannic Majesty and the Prince Consort dam
Boulogne refused to go off, with the exception of a 'e
iwbs.
It is said that the Queen and the Empress more t°
once exchanged angry words on some question offfelr,„;
dente. The former looked thin, haggard, and ouTiii;
the latter more than usually plain, and intensely '—
gusted.
og
The Queen has sent a few sous for distribution 11—.,°
the poor of Paris. This parsimony is not to
tiered at, co isidering the state of national bankrupt',.
which England is bordering, by reason of the /11,.

INCREASE OF THE RATE OF DISCOUNT
BY THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
CITY, HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK.
The Bank of England has just raised its rate of
discount to 4), per cent.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.,
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
111111 little animation and a good supply.
Paces of American were barely d. per lb. dearer
tYuan last week. The sales were 10,000 bales,
I, eluding 1,500 for export and 2,500 on specula-
tion ; comprising 150 Pernam and Maranham,
at sic]. to Bd. ; Bahia, at 61d. to 60. ; 100
gYptian, 6d. to 71d. ; and 800 Surat, 31d. to
41d. per lb. In Railway Shares there was a
moderate amount of business transacted, and
Prices were a shade lower than on Tuesday.
ilia Essex has arrived from Melbourne, with
110.28 ounces of gold on board.
Accounts from the Danube state that the Rus-
alall Government has not prohibited the exporta-
tion of grain, and that the inhabitants of Odessa
ad memorialised the Emperor Alexander to per-
lilt them to ship grain as well as the merchants of
Lke Sea of Azoff.
The Madrid letters report favourably of the pro-
r.eBB of the voluntary loan, and state that the
lance Minister expected to meet all the engage-
ments of the Treasury by October next.
The payment of the Turkish Loan instalment
havingt. been effected, there is less pressure for
money, although it is likely for the present to con-
lutie in good demand. The view taken as to the
:48 costly character of the war in future is con-
nled by the news just received from Paris that
the Russians in the northern forts were likely to
e
eaPitulate, and should such prove to be the case a
541Paratively small force would be enabled subse-
quently to hold the Crimea with the co-operation
4:sf our fleet. The important supplies also that have
tleiell obtained will prove acceptable, and perhaps
Only alloy to the universal satisfaction is the
'.84 that the German powers, siding with the win-
j Powers, may seek to obtrude their office of
"'ervention and obstruction.
In the English Funds there is scarcely any busi-
eas doing, and the doubt whether the Bank has
ZruPleted its sales necessarily deters purchasers
°.lll Coming forward. It would be desirable that
thisi state of suspense should cease as early as pos-
tle but probably the Bank, if it has not yet sold
the
full amount intended, is indisposed to accept
bee current rates, and has a higher limit. The job-
ra will keep the market down until the fact is
ts eertained, for their own protection, as they
w :Uld otherwise be saddled for a time with a
1 erabundant supply of Consols, which they
411)114 keep until buyers come forward, and this is
c.iltrary to their ordinary policy of turning their
tiPital with the least possible delay and at a frac-
:l4l profit, rather than exposing themselves to
Ntiltingencies, even with a fair prospect of larger
90,117aate gain. For transfer Consols have been
ate and for account 901 to 91. Exchequer-bills
IN. premium, and India Bonds 265. premium.
St
India Stock has brought 229 to 230.
Foreign
Securities are very quiet. Turkish New
fiCP is firm at 1.1 premium, and the bonds are
20eadY at 93i. Spanish New Deferred have been
`and the Passive are 41 Z. Mexican Bonds are
