A letter from St. Jean Pied de Port, says Among
the numerous persons who found here their first asylum in
the French territory, and who are gone to Pau, we may
mention the Count de Casa Eguia, the Marquis de Valdes-
pina, the Baron de Los Valles, and the widow of Zumala
carregui, who, some Journals say is at Bayonne. Among
the number, there is also the Bishop of Laguardra, and I.
very aged Portuguese Prelate.
" The Captain of the Baliar, which arrived on the 16th
at Marseilles, coming from Barcelona, declares that on his
arrival at Rosas, a report was generally believed that au
insurrection broke out among the Carlist troops at Bergs,
and that the Count de D'Espagne had been massacred by
his soldiers."—Le Commerce.

Letters and papers from Madrid of the 14th
inst. have been duly received. The proceedings of
the Cortes possess as yet but few claims to general
interest. A report was prevalent that the Exal-
tados, with M. ARGUELLES at their head, were
determined to oppose the concession of the fueros
to the Basque Provinces, while the Government,
supported by M.:MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, and
the Moderados, were in favour of such a conces-
sion. We trust the Exaltados, or Spanish Radical
party, will abandon a design so fraught vvitlifrlsh
danger to the peace of their country. CABRERA
was at Chelva on the 12th, with nine battalions,
but his movements excited no alarm. On the con-
trary, the Funds continued to rise on the Bourse ;
the Five per Cents. being done on the 14th at
30-E for cash, and 311 at G 0 days.

1 Letters from Constantinople of the 28th ult.,
and from Alexandria of the sth inst., have reached
us, but they bring no news of much interest from
the East. According to the letters from the 'Fur-
' kish capital, the Porte is about to assume a higher
tone in its communications with MEHEMET ALl,and
that a fresh note is in preparation which will shortly
be communicated to the Ambassadors of the Five
Powers. At Alexandria letters were received from
Bagdad of the 29th of July, stating that the Per-
sian Sheik had died of a wound in his knee ; and
that an English Colonel, who, at the commence-
ment of the affair at Herat, came from Teheran to
Bagdad, is purchasing horses and accoutrements,
which he forwards with the greatest expedition to
Bassora and the Persian Gulf, where an English
fleet is lying with troops on board ready to he
landed. What their object or intention is no one
knows. The Nile had risen twenty-two cubits,
and there was the promise of an abundant harvest.

ARREST OF MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR.-Mr.
O'Connor having been arrested at Manchester on
Friday, on a Judge's warrant, for a seditious conspiracy,
seditious speeches, &c., and having given his promise to
the officer that he would be forthcoming at the Borough
Court on Saturday, he appeared before the Mayor and
a full bench of Magistrates on that day, to enter into
recognizances. After urging an objection to the war-
rant, which was overruled, he was ordered to enter into
his own recognizance for 3001., and find two sureties in
150/. each, to appear at the Court at Liverpool. The
sureties were Mr. Abel Heywood, of Oldham-street,
Manchester, bookseller ; and the Rev. James Scho-
field, of Every-street. The conditions having been
read over and ratified, Mr. O'Connor and his friends
withdrew.

The Duke of Buccleueli has left Broadstairs,
where his Grace has been residing with the Duchess and
family, for Dalkeith Palace, Scotland. His Grace is to
be entertained at a public dinner by his tenantry, on Thurs-
day next, at Branxholm.

her. Some persons who attempted to approach the Prince's
carriage to speak to him were ordered off by the police.
After leaving Bordeaux the Prince was received at the
country residence of M. Coupat, where the Royal party
breakfasted, and then pursued their route towards Bourges.
The Duke of ORLEANS sailed on the 19th inst.
for Africa ; the Duchess has returned to Paris.
The following circular, addressed by the Minister
of Commerce to the Prefects and Sub-prefects, is
intended to quiet the agitation of the public mind
produced by th' late corn riots :

CIRCULAR 'OF THE MINISTER OP AGRICULTURE AND COM•
MERCE TO THE PREFECTS OF FRANCE.
PARIS, SEPT. 19.—An attempt has been made in one
of the Departments against the liberty of commerce and
free circulation of grain. The Government of the King
cannot allow the slightest impediment to be given to a li-
berty so well established by law and so essential to public
security.
Such disorders are much to be regretted, and as soon as
one of them takes place it is proper to explain the evil
consequences arising from them, to enlighten others, and
prevent their following such an example.
We cuter upon the enjoyment of a harvest generally ad-
mitted to be an average one. It would have been abun-
dant if bad weather had not diminshed its produce in some
districts. In many the weight of the corn compensates for
their loss.
Whatever it may be, how is it possible so soon after
the harvest, when the grain is only put into warehouse,
we can suppose that its supply is to be deficient in the
country ? If the labour of the farm, preparatory to the
new sowing of seed, cause the markets to be thinly at.
tended—and if the weekly averages be now higher than
usual—are not these circumstances of ordinary occurrence
every year? The drought which affects water carriage is
also a momentary cause of the rise in price, but in reality
the actual prices are not above those which our agricul•
ture so often has stated to be necessary for its produce.
It has been supposed that strangers are coming to our
sea-ports to take away the grain, and that they are looking
for it in the interior of the country. Nothing can be
more untrue ; and you can easily be convinced of its
falsehood by casting your eyes on the tables of exporta-
tion and importation, taken from official returns, and
published monthly. It is said that a great exportation
has taken place from the port of Marans ; but I have aster.
tamed that no purchases for abroad have been made in
that place. The market notes for the last week of Septem-
ber give the price at 19 75 for the hectolitre. The barley
of the preceding harvest was bought solely for the use of
the English brewers, a circumstance which is most advan-
tageous to the farmers. In the other ports the coasting
trade has been confined to carrying grain from one port to
another, according to the wants of the interior. On the
northern coast the duties are equivalent to a prohibition.
In the meantime our prices have attracted an importation
not only equal to our exports, but considerably greater,
and capable of satisfying those by the continued operation,
of trade, who can imagine for a moment that France can be
exhausted.
This is the exact truth. You are aware, moreover, that
all the accessory crops, such as that of potatoes, will furnish
an additional supply.
If by, I know not by what absurd or evil suggestions it
can be imagined, that the country can be divided into can-
tons—that none shall exchange with their neighbours—that
grain shall be prevented from being sent from one to the
other—that those who have a superfluity shall not furnish
it to those who want—if commerce be disturbed—if pro-
prietors be intimidated—each person will lock up his pro.
visions, and those who turn away some sacks of grain to-day
will probably not see them again to. morrow.
Employ then all your influence to make the truth known
in your department. I recommend it to you as a most es-
sential duty. Prove in each locality how much the whole
year's substance is endangered by partial violence, and tell
those who are inclined to resort to acts of guilt and vio
lence, that the Government is determined to execute with
full severity the laws protecting order and property.—
Receive, &c.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXTAIANG,
In the first week the arrivals of all descriptions of English
Corn were verAsmall, and there was a tendency upwards for
every article. There was a fair fresh supply of new Wheat,
but very little other Grain. The late rainy weather has
caused considerably higher demands for Wheat. At the early
part of the morning
ss• per quarter advance was made on last
Monday's prices, but the trade afterwards became dull, and
this advance was scarcely supported. Barley, Beans, 'Peas,
and Oats were each full Is. per quarter higher than last *Mon-
day. The top price of Flour has been established at 655. per
sack, as the stock in London is small.

coincidence, first by a letter being found on the person of
a guerilla who was recently killed in the Nortii; and,
secondly, by a municipal patrol, on Thursday evening lasi;
accidentally picking up, in the Rua de San Mamede, a
packet of letters, containing a confirmation of the corre-
spondence, together with a comblred plan, on an exten4ive
scale, and of such a nature as to warrinat the immediate
apprehension of their ringleader in this city, M Antonio
de Alberquerque, a rich land proprietor near Braga, end
relative of the Countess de Anadia, who is safely lodged
in the segredo (dungeon). Orders for the arrest of two
other well-known personages, his accomplices, have been
issued. The particulars of the plan have not yet transpired.
" A dissolution of the Ministry was at hand a few days
since by the resignation of the Minister of Finance, M.
Manoel Antonio de Carvalho, which was accepted by her

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEW S

The usual average return of the liabilities and assets of
the Bank of England, embracing the period from the 25th
of June to the 17th inst., which appeared in last night's
Gazette, gives the following results, viz., that the average
of the month ending the 17th inst., as compared with the
average of the month ending the 25th of June, shows a
deerease in the circulation of 27,0001., a decrease in the
deposits of 744,0001., and a decrease in the stock of but.
lion of 1,347,0001. Wherefore it appears that the decrease
in the liabilities is 771,000/., and this represents the de-
crea.ie in the total quantity of money in the month ending
the 17th inst., as compared with the month ending the
25th of June, in so far as regards the administration of the
currency by the Bank of England.
The yearly comparison is as follows :—The average of
the month ending the 17th inst., as compared with the
average of the month ending the 16th of October, 1838,
shows a decrease in the circulation of 951,000/., a de-
crease in the deposits of 495,000/., and a decrease in the
stock of bullion of 6,849,0001. Wherefore it appears that
the decrease in the liabilities is 1,446,0001., and this re-
presents the decrease in the total quantity of money in the
month ending the 17th inst., as compared with the month
ending the 16th of October, 1838, in so far as regards the
administration of the currency by the Bank of England.
The variations in the stock of bullion have taken place
in the following manner and proportions
In the month ending the Bth of January, as
compared with the month ending the 16th of
October, 1838, there is a decrease of 78,000

The facts contained in the preceding statement offer pre-
cisely the same grounds of remark and animadversion as
all the returns of the Bank of England during the last
nine months.

The bullion constantly disappears, and its place is as
constantly supplied by paper created by means of securities.
So flagrant a violation of all principle has now brought
things to that pass, that it should seem that nothing short
of a miracle can save the Bank of England from a suspen-
sion of cash payments. And then all the miserable tricks
and expedients to which the Bank Directors have lately
had recourse to ward off a calamity which their misconduct
rendered inevitable, will only tend to its aggravation.--

CRIMINAL COUR T.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

HORSE STEALING.—Stephen Isaacs, a regular Don
\Vhiskerando, was convicted of stealing a horse, gig, and
harness, of the value of 141., the property of Ann Parker,
who keeps the Swan Inn at Riegate, on the 6th of the
present month.
The prisoner was again arraigned, and convicted of
stealing a gelding, saddle, and bridle, on the 9th of Sep-
tember, value 251., the property of Thomas Croft, a livery..
stablekeeper, of the Whitechapel-road.
The RECORDER said that now the trial was over it might
be proper to state to the Jury that the prisoner had been
in the army, where his conduct had been infamous in the
extreme, but he had been discharged under the supposition
that he was insane. If the Jury thought that his conduct
in that dock had shown that he was so, they would
be good enough to state it before he passed sentence. For
his own part he looked upon his conduct as only part of the
scheme of a notorious swindler to deceive the Court.
The prisoner (with some emphasis)—As to the insinua-
tion that you have just made, perhaps you would think I
was mad if I jumped out of this dock on the table.
The RECORDER-Indeed I should not ?

Prisoner—Oh, you would not. Well, perhaps, if I was
to take up this ink-stand (suiting the action to the word),
and throw it at your head, you would think so then.
The RECORDER—Officer, remove that ink- stand from
the dock. Gentlemen (addressing the Jury), it is my firm
belief that the prisoner is no more mad than I am ; it is
only an attempt on his part to deceive you.
Prisoner—lf you was in a room alone with me you would
not say so. You would soon see signs of madness then.
If I was to draw the hatchet, and the sword, and tell a
tell a man that he was unfit to command, for want of
energy, what would you say then, eh ?
The RECORDER then proceeded to pass sentence upon
the prisoner, in the course of which he was repeatedly in-
terrupted by his exclaiming that there was no justice in
the country, and that he did not expect it there. The
Learned Judge sentenced him to fifteen years' transporta-
tion for the first offence, and ten for the second, the latter
to commence at the expiration of the first.
The prisoner, on being removed from the dock, ex- I
claimed—" I hope when the term of my banishment ex-
pires, there will be justice in England, which there is not
at present ; I hope there will be no more crying and
wailing in England when the convicted Jew returns, if
that time should ever arrive ; but long before that you will
all be destroyed."
The prisoner appears to have led a most extraordinary
life. He was formerly a Jew, but was converted to Chris-
tianity by a clergyman of the name of Cator, upon whom
his demands for money had been so repeated that he was
obliged to discontinue assisting him, and since that period
he had been living by swindling, which he had carried on
to a very great extent.

The heir apparent of the Baroness de Braye is
Robert Otway Cave, Esq., M.P., who is married to a
daughter of Sir Francis Burdett.
BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, SEPT. 20.—The
supply in our offices is so inconsiderable that we have
scarcely any transactions to notice. Sugars generally are
flat, but the firmness of the merchants has counteracted
any tendency to decline.—Bristol Mercury.
CHELTENHAM ELECTION.— The Chartists
are getting up a requisition to Mr. NV. P. Gaskell, to
allow himself to be put in nomination for that borough in
the ultra- Radical interest. If he should refuse, the pro-
prietor of the Free Press newspaper, Mr. Harper, has
notified his intention of standing on the above-named in-
terest. This is the third Radical candidate in the field.
—Gloucestershire Chronicle. At a nseeting of 500 people
on Monday, Mr. Gaskell gave to the electors of Chelten-
ham an account of his political sentiments, which were
thoroughly Radical, and announced his intention of
standing as a candidate at the ensuing election.—Chelten-
ham Examiner.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The Honour-
able Edward Lawless, son of Lord Cloncurry, led to the
hymeneal altar, on Tuesday last, at Lyons, the seat of the
Noble Lord, the accomplished Miss Kirwan, daughter and
heiress of John ,Kirwan, Esq., of Castle Hacket, county
Galway.
The General Steam Navigation Company's
steam ship, Columbine, Captain W. Norwood, arrived off
the Custom-house from Rotterdam, on Stinday, after a
favourable passage.
