THE MONYT MAXICKT.

BOMBAY BANlE.—This long spoken of institution
seems to be still in suspense after having been projected
nearly three years ago.
BILLS ON LONDON.—Excbange has continued to de-
cline, and bills have become scarce. Negotiations have
taken place from Is. I I lid. to 2 I I per rupee at six
months' sight, at which latter some United States Bank
bills have been sold during the week. The medium
rate may be quoted rather under than above 2s. I per
rupee.

BILLS ON CANTON.-All exchange operations are
For the present suspended.
FREIGIITIL

FREIGHT TO CHINA.—A ship which has been load-
ing for about two months is now about to sail without,
we understand, having filled up her tonnage, freight not
being procurable.
FREIGHT TO ENGLAND—Is now lower than it has
been since the month of January, tonnage being very
abundant, particularly for London, with no large sup-
ply of produce in the market. In some instances it has
been engaged as low as 40s. per ton, and is not procurable
above 55 per ton, or only to a small extent. Several
ships have left this port for others in search of freight.

Madrid Journals of the 24th ult. have been re-
seived. The Moderado or Ministerial party held a
meeting on the 'fight of the 23d, to appoint a
Central Committee to carry on the elections after
the true Ministerial fashion. It was well attendLd
by all the place-loving political apostates. The
names of the members of the appointed Committee
are Senors MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, TARAN-
CON ORCEVALY ARRATIA, MOSCOSO, CAS-
TELDOSNEUS MON, BORREGO, VERAGUA,
EGONA, ISTURIZ, ARMENDARIZ, HUET, and
DONOSO CORTES. The Exaltados, however,
were not idle. They too were preparing a flaming
manifesto to the nation on the illegal dissolution of
the Cortes.

For some reasons which we do not altogether
comprehend, less is said in the French Journals of
Sunday about the explosion of the infernal machine
than we were prepared to expect. The police were
as busy as bees, buzzing about in every direction,
seeking some clue to the discovery of the perpe-
trator of this outrage, but their efforts were una -
wailing. More attention was paid to the arrest of
the Marquis and Count of CROUY CHAVEL, on a
charge of treason, and likewise to the trouble taken
by the police to inspect the private papers of the
Editor of the Capitole, whose threat of exposing
the secrets of the Austrian Cabinet has, we are
privately assured, occasioned Louis PHILIPPE the
most serious uneasiness. The cause of this must
be sought for in the fact, that the secrets of the
Austrian Cabinet could not be made public without
certain revelations which would not increase the po-
pularity of the King of the FRENCH.
Two persons found guilty of publishing the
Moniteur Republicain were sentenced on Saturday,
the one to eight years' detention, and a fine of 1,000
francs, the other to five years' irnpriFonment, and
five years of Police surveillance.

The subjoined extracts include all the news o
any interest in the Journals of Sunday :

The Phare de Bayonne of the 28th ult. states, that
immediately after the evacuation of Las Parras by the
Queen's army, the Carlists entered the place, and de-
livered it up to plunder. It was reported in Saragossa
on the 24th, that General Espartero intended opening
the campaign by an attack upon the forts of Castellote,
Segura, and Aliaga, in order to extend his lines, and
to circumscribe the enemy within a narrow compass.
Immediately after this operation he would proceed to
Saragossa, and thence to Catalonia for a very short
time, to agree upon some military combination with the
Queen's Generals in that province.

Count Jenison Walwor-th, Extraordinary Envoy and.
Plenipotentiary Minister of Bavaria hi Paris, was ad-
mitted on Saturday to present to the King the letters
of recal he had received from his Government.

The Monitcur publishes a table of the import and
export of grain during the month of October last.
The import of wheat during that interval amounted
to 40,825 metrical quintals ; that of other grain to
5,756 ; and of flour to 741. There were exported, in
October, 21,199 metrical quintals of wheat ; 97,592
of other corn ; and 2,236 of flour. The quantity re-
maining in the entrepots on the Ist of November was
116,695 metrical quintals of wheat, 9,646 of other
grain, and 10,830 of flour,
The Quotidienne gives the following account of the
death of the Count d'Espagne :—" He was escorted by
a detachment to Organeya, and there given up to a
member of the Junta and thirty men, who bound him
and carried him with them across the country. At
length, on the 3d, five leagues from Malea, be was flung
from the bridge of Espieta, in the Segre, with a cord
round his neck, and a large fragment of rock tied to
the cord."

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FRENC
PRISONERS IN SIBERIA.

This subscription already amounts to 3,101 francs.
We shall publish the names of the subscribers to-mor-
row. One of our subscribers communicates to us the
following note. We would recommend the conduct
of the honourable citizen who has sent us this note, as
an example to all persons who may possess information
calculated to throw light on the fate of the prisoners.
For our part we engage to publish all documents and
all testimonies on the subject, which app.!ar to us to be
sufficiently authentic.
"In 1815 General de Bruges Junin was sent to
Russia for the exchange of the French prisoners, on his
return in the following year he stated in the War
Office, in the presence of several persons employed in
the office of the Staff, that there remained in Russia (his
mission being finish ed) from 15,000 to 20,000 of our
countrymen of all ranks.
The General declared that those soldiers were igno-
rant of the fall of Napoleon, and that very few of them
would ever see France again, notwithstanding the orders
given by the Emperor Alexander, because those unfor-
tunate men were dispersed in distant provinces, where
the Sovereign had very little authority.
These statements must have l• !n Officially given by
M. de Bruges at that time to the Minister of Wa- an
Foreign Affa'.rs. On the other band, the Jortin.ll de'
Rouen says, " Berthelot, this unhappy fragment ol our
grand army, which has just returned home after 27 ye irs
exile in Siberia, states that a new detachment of prison !-s
will set out in April next year, and another in 1841."
Will this assertion be attended to by our Ministers, and
will Marshal Soult take any steps, as he has promised to
put an et,d to the captivity of our brave soldiers? The
Monileur told us the other day, that the Ambassadors
who had been consulted answered that there was not If
single French soldier remaining as a prisoner in Siberia.
The return of Berthelot formally contrad cts the Am-
bassadors ; and if he declares that several of his cowl
trymen are still detained as slaves at Tobolck, the
Ministry should pay some attention to his declaration.
and require from Nicholas the return of our unfortunate
countrymen on the faith of the existing treaties.
The English mail has not arrived —Le Commerce.

The Marquess of Breadalbane will be appointed
Lord- Lieutenant of Argyllshire.
The Special
Commission at Monmouth will be
opened on the 10th instant.
PEACEABLE STATE OF NORTH WALES.--
A correspondent writes us from Tre' Madoc, that after
being a householder in this beautiful country for up-
wards of thirty years, he was very much annoyer: last
week, by finding a paragraph inserted in the London
papers, headed " Chartist Riots in North Wales." Now,
the truth is, as our correspondent states, that with the
exception of
a slight disturbance in Montgomeryshire,
there has been nothing like a riot in North Wales, and
that the character of the inhabitants of this part of the
principality stands in fine contrast with that displayed
by the lower classes in every other part of the kingdom.
Our correspondent very properly obser% es, that the fact
ought to stand on record in letters of gold, that whilst
incendiary fires, and destruction of property, were
elsewhere raging with the greatest violence, the pea-
santry of North Wales stood pre-eminently faultless,
and were f rover b all y cheerful and contented.—Shrews-
buty News.
FIFTY PER CENT. UPON THE FEE.—.On last
Thursday, in the Rolls' Court, a motion was made in
a cause of Digby v. Browne, to open the sale of a
small mourtain in the county of Kerry, which had been
purchased under the decree in the cause. It was ad-
mitted in Court that the rent of 58/. a-year, at It hich
the lands were set, was their fair value. In the month
of April last these lands had been sold for a sum of
1,650/. ; that sale was subsequently opened, and a sum
of 2,6001. obtained ; but on last Thursday, a Mr. Stokes
applied for a re-sale, upon his undertaking to bid
2,700/. for the property—being a sum considerably over
forty years purchase ! It is to incidents such as these
that we are to refer for evidence of the true state of
smilety in this country.—Dwilin Evemag lUii.
