STOCK EXCHAN6E.—Great Western (Birmingham Gua-

be opened in the course of a few days, that prices will ad-
vance beyond present quotations.

MEXICO.—The mercantile advices from Mexico by
the West India steamer contain little of importance.
Great complaints are made of the injury sustained by
the country from the ravages of the Indians on the
northern frontier, and, owing to the distrust respecting
Texas, a strong disposition prevails to attribute them to
indirect encouragement from that State. The sufferers
are, for the most part, peaceful farmers ; and the annual
loss of life, as well as of property, is such as to cause
them to retire south in great numbers every year. Many
valuable estates previously elevoted to the breeding of
cattle, mules, and horses, have thus been abandoned,
after having been reduced, to ruin. The Government
are inefficient to arrest these inroads, and they have been
pushed even to the neighbourhood of Zacatecas. Ii
other respects the country is more peaceful than for
some time past, the spirited defeat of the piratical force
of Count Raousset at Guyamas having apparently dis•
couraged any fresh attempts at revolution, either by ex•
ternal or internal means. The corruption prevalent in
the army is still one of the chief causes of apprehension
among the respectable classes in the capital, since it is
asserted that amongst every one connected with that
department the old system of peculation is again in all
its vigour, the public resources being almost entirely
swallowed up by it, while the other branches of the ad-
ministration are more or less neglected. The celebra-
tion of the anniversary of Mexican independence bad
occasioned some diplomatic misunderstanding, the foreign
Ministers having refused to attend in their uniforms ;
and the general opinion is said to be that they showed
little discretion in the matter. The price of quicksilver
remained steady, at $65 to $7O per quintal, and the ex-
change on London was 46d. to 46id.
