The Tumults at Saragossa.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
MADRID, Oct. 4.

Particulars have been reeeived2hd neraedof
3dtinst.,he
dis-
turbances at Saragossa on the
which, at first quietly suppressed, broke out a
second time—necessitating the action of the mili-
tary, and resulting in loss of life among the rioters.
The disturbances originated in the refusal of the
peasants to pay the octroi upon provisions entering
the city. They first demanded the reduction of
this tax, and, subsequently, its total abolition.
The demonstration commenced on the morning of
the 2d inst., when many peasants refused payment
of the tax at the gates, and others collected in
groups, assuming a hostile attitude towards the
authorities. On the morning of the 3rd inst., how-
ever, the demonstrations of the peasants became
more serious. They assembled at the gates of the
city, and impeded not only the entry of provisions,
but the passage of travellers proceeding to the
railway station. The civil authority, after vainly
endeavouring to persuade them to disperse, quietly
left the conduct of affairs in the hands of the Captain-
General Don Juan Zapatero. This officer, follow-
ing the instructions received from the Government,
published a notice giving the multitude one hour to
disperse, in accordance with the law of April 21.
On the appearance of this notice those who had
joined the crowd out of curiosity returned to their
homes, leaving the original groups still assembled
in the street. At the expiration of the time stated
the Captain-General headed the troops of the gar-
rison, and made a charge to clear the streets, when
the people fled and dispersed in various directions,
without a shot having been fired or any person
having been hart. At four o'clock in the afternoon
all was quiet, and it was hoped that public tran-
quillity bad been effectually restored. At 8 p.m.,
however, those concerned in the disturbances of the
morning again formed a tumultuous assemblage in
the streets. The military were immediately on the
spot, and after the usual summons to disperse,
having previously received a shower of stones
from the mob, fired two or three times in the
air to intimidate the rioters. To this the pea-
sants replied by a fresh volley of stones and some
discharges of fire-arms, which caused the death
of a bystander. The troops then fired upon
them, killing one peasant and wounding another
(other accounts state that four were killed and five
wounded). At half-past eight order was re-esta-
blished, many arrests have been made, and the civil
and military authorities are taking measures in
concert to prevent the repetition of similar distur-
bances.

OCT. 4 (Evening).
The following despatch has been received by the
Afinister of 11rar from the Captain-General of
Aragon, relative to the disturbances in Saragossa
on the evening of the 3d inst., which resulted in a
conflict between the troops and the people.
" Saragossa, Oct. 3, 8 14 p.m.
" Different seditious groups h aving again assembled
at several points, and assumed a hostile attitude,
it became necessary for us to make use of our arms,
after the summons to disperse prescribed by law.
The troops first fired into the air ; the crowd re-
plying to this discharge from three different direc-
tions. My men then commenced a regular fire,
under which fell some dead and wounded, whose
number we do not yet know. The people dispersed
before the troops. Up to the present we have only
had one man killed by one of the insurgents, who
fired upon a corporal. It was not possible to seize
him at the moment, but he is known, and will be
arrested. Part of my troops are under arms, the
remainder have returned to their quarters. All are ready to do their duty well.

" Traquillity is completel " 8.56 .m.
Y re-established. p
Seve-
rrl arrests have been made, the individuals being
handed over to the ordinary tribunals. The man
who fired upon the troops will be tried by a mili-
tary court. The garrison continue to occupy the
posts I have fixed for them."

Extens:ve Fire at Clerkenwell—This Day,

- -
This morning, between the hours of three and
four o'clock, considerable alarm was caused in Cler-
kenwell in consequence of a fire of a.most destruc-
tive character breaking out in the premise. of Mr.
Capes, a beershop-keeper, situate at No. 12, Bow-
ling-green-lane, near the Sessions House, Clerken-
Well. The discovery was made by Police-constable
146, of the G division, by hearing a loud crackling
noise in the bar. Feeling convinced that the build-
lug Was on fire,
he gave the usual alarm, but no one
ili:aking an appearance at the windows or doors,
riaLwas apprehended that the residents had pc-

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

It has just been announced that the authorities
of the Bank of England have made no further
alteration in the minimum rate to-day. The panic
which seems to have seized outside discounters has
been communicated to several members of the mer-
cantile community, and the representatives of both
have flocked to the establishment to inquire whether
any change had been adopted. The official
answer, in the negative, has caused a quieter feel-
ing, which will probably last to the conclusion of
business in the afternoon, but the principal houses
generally object to enter into engagement under
per cent., though exceptional instances may be cited
where a concession in favour of the borrower has
been made to the extent of or 4 per cent. Merchants
and most others engaged in trade are naturally
offering as few bills as possible, under the impres-
sion that the present abnormal state of affairs
cannot be of long continuance.
Gold, amounting to £46,000, was taken to the
Bank on Saturday, and 200,000 sovereigns were
withdrawn on account of the Brazilian Loan.

From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week have generally been of a satisfac-
tory charactory. The demand for both cloths and
yarns at Manchester has been more animated, and
prices have in most instances shown an upward ten-
dency. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford,
and Huddersfield, however, there has not been
quite so much activity, although operatives generally
are well employed. Hosiery and lace in Leicester
and Nottingham have been without change of im-
portance. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-
hampton increased activity has prevailed in all de-
partments.

Two o'CLock.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 65c. Heavy.
Business has been resumed to-day on the Stock
Exchange in a more active and satisfactory manner.
The non-alteration in the rate of discount has im-
parted more confidence, and purchases in the Funds
have been the consequence. Consols for money have
improved to 88a, and for the Nov. account to 89} +.
Following the rise in the other Government securi-
ties already mentioned, the New Threes and Re-
duced Annuities have also tended upward, and the
payment of the dividends in the course of the week
will no doubt bring a portion of the quarterly inte-
rest for reinvestment. Few operations are recorded
in Indian securities, and there is a slight degree of
heaviness, chiefly arising from the paucity of busi-
ness.

The Foreign Market shows a general improve-
ment. Turkish Consolides are 431 ; Mexican,
251 ; do. New Loan, 241 ; Greek, 20 I ; Spanish
Passive, 284 a ; do. Certificate, 131 14 ; Italian,

Business in the Railway Share Market has boen
rather dull, but prices in several instances are firmer.
Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved 15s. ;
North Western, Metropolitan, and North Eastern
(Berwick), each 10s. ; and Great Northern and
Midland, each ss.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit
little change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain very in-
active, without any material change iu values.
Allan's Transatlantic Telegraph Shares are quoted
pm. ; Merchants' Company, 11 11 pm. ; Lon-
don and Australian Agency, 1i pm. ; and Trans-
atlantic Steam Ship Company, par 1 pm.
In the American Market prices are rather flatter.
