Tacubava, Avg. 1, 1853.
"My esteemed Friend, "
The news which have ar-
rived by the packet that reached Vera Cruz four days
since have afforded me much satisfaction, as I find that,
in spite of the panic produced in London by the fears of
a war between Russia and Turkey, Mexican bonds have
risen 4 to 5 per cent., in consequence of the news of the
formation of a national bank, which was to take the
charge of punctually paying the interest of the debt.
" This project is not, as you will conceive, even on ac-
count of its very importance, free from inconvenience
and serious difficulties ; but as it has been received so well
in England, and as my efforts and those of the Govern-
ment are directed to nothing else than to re-establish
and create the credit of the Republic, and to secure the
regular payment of the interest, particularly to bond-
holders who have always behaved so liberally towards
the Mexican nation, we shall certainly not cease to oc-
cupy ourselves in the endeavour to perfect these good
ideas, and to interest our capitalists in their realization,
who are perfectly well-disposed to co-operate in sustain-
ing my Government, and removing difficulties. I have
not, however, yet decided on the report which the
Minister of Finance has lately presented me on this
subject.

"Animated by the most ardent desires for the felicity
of my country, I shall not rest nor retire from the Go-
vernment until I see established a railway, a bank, and
a good system of government and finance. Please to
make this known to the Mexican agency, and to the
committee of bondholders."

• "The whole republic enjoys the most perfect tran-
quillity, and I receive daily from all parts of it the
• most evident proofs of its adhesion to, and respect for,
• my Government.—Your faithful friend,
" A. L. DE SANTA ANNA."
There is no improvement in Public Securities
this morning, and the partial rally which occurred
towards the close of business yesterday has not
been maintained. The conflicting statements about
the Eastern question, the variable weather, and
the reports about foreign loans, have all given
confidence to the speculators for a fall, but it
is precisely on account of these considerable sales
that a future rally would be the more probable and
decided, in the event of good news arriving. Con-
sols, which, " after hours," yesterday, were 97 to
k, have this morning been 96g- for Transfer, and
96 to 97 for the October account. As the dividends
will be payable next month, it will interesting to
ascertain whether the usual purchases will be made in
anticipation, or whether the unsettled state of
affairs will partially if not wholly restrain buyers.
It should be remembered that there has been a
marked fall since Parliament was prorogued, and
hence the greater temptation. The New Three-
and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been at 99g to par,
and the Three per Cents. at 971 to g. Exchequer
Bills remain at 2s. dis. to par, and Indian Bonds
are 7s. to 10s. prem.
Foreign Stocks have been dull, but not materi-
ally different as to value. Mexican Bonds have
been quoted 25i to 26k, ani Grenada 22. Brazi-
-1 lian Stock was done at 1021 for the Small. Dutch
Four per Cents. improved to 981 and 99.; Spanish
Deferred Bonds have been at 221 ; and the Cer-
tificate has receded to 6k and 6 ; Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been at 44 ; Belgian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. are 99.
The Railway Share Market is again worse, and
the Bears press sales. The French lines have
been weak, and have not supported the advanced
rates obtained late yesterday afternoon.
The Gold Mine Shares are all very feeble, as
well as the Land Companies.
The Australian Bank Shares have been very
flat.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY),

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE DOWN--3IISCHIEVOUS RESULT OF ANONYMOUS

LETTERS
This bankrupt was described .as of Taunton, grocer,
and to-day was appointed for consideration of his certi-
icate.

Mr. Linklater appeared for the assignees and stated
some facts to the court, and complained of the imperfect
book-keeping, and that the bankrupt had given an un-
due preference to one of his creditors.
The bankrupt explained the latter point by stating
that he had only done it through fear of an undue pres-
sure caused by the circulation of anonymous letters by
another grocer in the town, some of which had been sent
to him by his creditors. His credit was therefore greatly
diminished, and he was threatened with proceedings be-
fore debts were due, on the allegation that he was about
to quit the country, whereas his object was to give up
the wholesale and confine himself to the retail trade, and
after he had raised 2001. on the bill of sale above the
amount he owed, he borrowed 8001. of a relation, and
paid it away to his creditors.
His honour said the books had been badly kept, but
the bankrupt was entitled to an immediate certificate of
the second class.

I Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart., M.P., has arrived
at the Granby Hotel, Harrogate.
SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday forenoon, a young
man named Henry Mossop, aged about 18 years, while
on a ladder at the Gallery of Illustration, Regent-street,
painting the cornice work, lost his equilibrium, and fell
from a height of nearly 60 feet to the ground with a fear-
ful crash. He was immediately removed to St. George's
Hospital, but he is still in a very precarious condition,
and but very little hopes are entertained of his recovery.
