the payment of annuities to the King and his sons
as well as his royal Councillors. Independent of
this the Government buildings, itc., are to be paid
for, and the United States are to assume the debts
due to the French and English Governments. The
whole amount to be paid would not, probably, ex-
ceed $4,000,000. To this despatch of Mr. Gregg
Mr. Marcy has replied, instructing him at once to
negotiate a treaty as the authorized Minister of the
United States, and the treaty is now daily. Of
course, the Administration will attempt to claim
the credit of bringing about the treaty, but it is
well known that it is wholly due to the unwearied

"The quarterly sales of Maim:, commence this d'ay,

including the first 41 chests. The sale then opened
with a , parcel of middling and ordinary Madras, which,
howe• ler, was mostly withdrawn, only here and there a
Eingl s lot selling. After this followed some middling
and ordinary Bengal, which sold at an advance of 10d.

The arrivals of ships in the Thames from abroad
yesterday were 12, and 90 colliers came ill.
Information has been received that the steamer
Queen of the'. South had arrived at the Cape de
Verd. Islands, Sept. 23.
The ship r.elliam, which left Sydney May 28,
brings 2,684 ounces of gold.
The steamer. Pacific, with New York accounts of
Sept. 30, describes the stock market as being bet-
ter and money. easier. One of the latest reports
states :

"The Abingdon Bank has declared a semi-annual
dividend of $4 per share, payable on Monday next. The
Quincy Stone Bank pays a semi-annual dividend of 4.1,
per cent., OcLober 5. The Springfield banks have de-
clared the following dividends, payable aitober 2 :
Springfield 4 per cent., Chicopees, Agawam 4, Western
4, John Hancock (for three months only) 2, Pynchon 6.
The John Hancock paid a dividend of 3 per cent. in
July, when its capital stock was enlarged. The others
are semi-annual dividends, save the Pynchon, which is
for ten month s, or since it began operations ; and in
addition, this leank returns a net surplus of profits of 5
per cent. on its capital. Railroad Bank, Lowell, 4
per cent.
"Reading vas the firmest railroad stock on the list
to-day, and th e transactions were very large. Within
the past few days the stock market has wonderfully im-
proved in tom), Tue movements now are more regular,
and the operations on time, seller's and buyer's option,
do not exhibit those extremes we have so recently re-
corded. An (3ighth or a quarter per cent. is now about
the difference between cash sales and those on sixty
days, buyer's or seller's option. This shows the abund-
ance and cheapness of money in Wall-street on such se-
curities, and is rather an encouraging feature."
Tb ere 'was no change of moment in the rates at
which bills oi! exchange were yesterday afternoon
auo ted on the principal cities of the Continent.
-Pazie,.9o days,was at 25 35 to 40 ; Amsterdam,
at 11 18 to 18 ; Hamburgh, at 13 7to7i ; Trieste,
'll4Bat to 5 U ; and Frankfort, at 119.

There is no demand for silver at present.
The English Stock Market has been more ani-
mated, and the resumption of business in many of
the securities for which the transfer books have
been closed has occasioned a greater amount of
money dealing. Consols have realised 95 to for
transfer, and 95 for account. The New 3 per

3 per Cent. Annuities 931- to 94k. The Long

The statistics of vessels entered inward show, in the 1;
case of the port of London, an increase of 49 vessels and i-33
22,051 tonnage, the difference between 580 vessels with ee
315,885 tonnage in 1853, and 629 vessels with 337,936 20
tonnage in 1854. Liverpool exhibits a decrease of 8
vessels and 6,453 tonnage, the arrivals having been 203 20
vessels, with 121,975 tonnage, in 1853, against 195 vessels 16
with 115,522 tonnage in the later period. The return for 20
Bristol exhibits an increase of 4 vessels and 2,843 ton-
nage, the difference between 25 vessels with 9,070
tonnage, and 29 vessels with 11,913 tonnage, In the
case of the Clyde, the figures present an increase of 10 20
vessels and :3,665 tonnage, the arrivals in the former
period having been 37 vessels with 13,833 tonnage, and, 10
in the latter, 47 vessels with 17,498 tonnage. The net 20
increase exhibited by this return is 55 vessels and 22,106 40
tonnage, the difference between 845 vessels with 460,753 20
tonnage, and 900 vessels with 482,869 tonnage. The 20
principal arrivals have been from Madras, the Philippine 20
Islands, Java and Sumatra, and Mauritius. 20
The- statistics of vessels 01e/tied outward exhibit 5
in the case of the port of London a decrease of three 20
vessels and 22,424 tonnage, the difference between 10
723 vessels with 360,215 tonnage, and 720 vessels 20
.with 337,791 tonnage. The return for Liverpool 20
presents a decrease of .81 vessels, but an increase of
11,175 tonnage, the departures in 1853 having been 8i
397 vessel', with 213,789 tonnage, and in 1854 1°
316 vessels with 224,964 tonnage. Bristol figures 20
for a decrease of 14 vessels, with 3,382 teenage the 2°,e
difference bet e..een 25 vessels, with 7,060 tonnage, 20"
and 11 vessels, with 3,678
i tonnage: The decrease
in the case of the Clyde s 48 vessels, but there
has, on the other hand, been an increase of 4,369 ton- 40
rage ; the departures in 1853 having been 141 vessels 40
with 41,413 tonnage, against 93 vessels with 45,782
tonnage in 1854. The net decrease thus presented is 50
146 vessels and 10 262 tonnage ; the difference between 25
1,286 vessels with,622 477 tonnage, and 1,140 vessels 20
with 612,215 tonnage.' It will be noticed that although
in the Liverpool and Clyde returns a decrease is exhi-
bited in the number of ships, the aggregate amount of 226
tonnae has increased—a tact indicating the preference
given to large vessels. The principal decrease is in the 20
depa.rtures for China, Australia, and the Cape. of Good
