The following is a private letter from Madrid of the Bth
natant :

" The Minister of Finance, Pizaro, has completely de-
stroyed the little credit he might have possessed with the
capitalists in Madrid, by his decree refusing to acknowledge
or pay any of the Government obligations contracted pre-
viously to his taking office. The effect of this ill-timed mea-
sure would be to throw the whole weight of the monied interest
against the Ministers in the approaching elections. The house
of O'Shea, the holders of a great quantity of Government
paper, which had conditionally concluded a contract with
the Government for the future payment of the British
Legion, has broken off the negociation, and refuses the
Government all further aid."
Consols may be quoted at 92 for the Account ; and
914 Money, with little doing ; Bxchequer Bills, 47 49 ;

In the Foreign Market Spanish Active continues heavy,
and receded from 203 with Coupons to 2.04, owing

A Church-rate has been carried at Townstal, Dart-
mouth, by a majority of one vote.—Nottingham Review.

A pedestrian feat was performed at Barnstaple on
the 2d inst., by a Wiltshire man, who undertook to walk
14 miles in two hours. The ground was a marked mile
from Pilton-bridge to the Newport-road, which he traversed
seven times each way, and accomplished the task within
about five minutes of the time. The same man once beat
the mail from London to Bristol, by 15 minutes ; and he
has offered, for a stake of five guineas, to run 14 miles
within an hour.

It is a well-known fact that persons residing in the
midst of the market gardens near London are supplied with
fruit and vegetables on more reasonable terms by venders
from Covent-garden, than they can obtain them at home.
There was a greater variety of fruit in Covent-garden
market on Saturday than there has been for several weeks
past. Apples and pears of every species were, however,
predominant. Excellent plums sold at Id. per pint ; green
gages from 2d. to 3d. per ditto ; red currants, which were
not plentiful, 6d. or Sd. a quart ; nuts, fully ripe, and of a
large size, from Is. to Is. 6d. per lb. ; very good grapes
about 9d. per lb. ; excellent peaches 3d. and 4d. each, and
mushrooms of an enormous size 6d. per dozen. There was
a small supply of elderberries. Green peas seem as if they
would never " go out ;" there was a considerable quantity
exhibited on Saturday, with French beans in superabun-
dance. The flower market presented little but evergreens,
and a few flaunting autumnal flowers.
Sir William Fremantle's mansion hi Stanhope-
street is undergoing many improvements.
The fancy bazaar at Elgin, under the patronage of
the Ductless of Richmond, took place on the 12th and
lath September. A large party from Gordon Castle at-
tended, including the following :—Duke and Duchess of
Richmond, Earl of March, Lady G. Gordon Lennox, Lord
Bateman, Lord and Lady Stanley, Lord William Lennox,
Hon. Mrs. Russell, C. Forrester, and Messrs. Gratwick
and Beauclerk.

A great deal of rain fell on Friday last which re-
tards the cutting down and securing the various crops.
Much grain remains in the field, which a few days of fair
weather would enable the farmer to lodge safely in the farm-
yard. There are still a few fields, chiefly of oats to cut
down.—Edinburgh Courant.
