the lowest description.
The Government knew nothing positive respecting
the movement of GOMEZ. It was supposed in Madrid
on the 19th instant, that he had passed the Guadal-
quiver at Cordova, and was marching upon Seville by
the high road along the left bank. On the 13th Gen.
RIZIEIRO with his division marched from Fuenteove-
juna to Esquiel ; and on the same day NARvAEZ
his division proceeded front Castuera to Berlanga.
NARVAEZ had vowed to pursue the enemy by forced
marches, till he either compelled him to come to an en-
gagement, or to hide himself once more in the moun-
tains of Biscay. Now if GOMEZ has taken the
road to Seville, the QUEEN'S Generals will display
very little skill if they suffer him to escape. From Cor-
dova a communication may be effected with Montilla,
Lucena, Antequera, and Malaga, and so cut off GOMEZ'S
retreat into Granada and Murcia. Seville can easily
defend itself till relieved, in which case GOMEZ must
either surrender or fight, as the Queen's Generals will
take care to prevent the repassage of the Guadaiquiver.
The removal of Generals RODIL and ALAIX will
have a good effect upon the Armv. The men were
dispirited, and had long suspected these officers of
[ treachery.

The whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Sa-
turday have been received. The Sentinetle de Plp
renees contains the following account of the siege a

Bilboa

BAYONNE, Nov. 22.—The reports which were spread for
these few days past relative to the taking of the Old Town of
Bilboa. are devoid of truth, which appears by the following
statement :—The report of its being taken on the 17th is con-
tradicted by letters of the 19th, and which state that every
day more energy is displayed by the National Guard, and
their determination to conquer or to bury themselves in the
town ; every house is fortified, and should the enemy enter the
town they will not easily be masters of it. Two houses situ-
ated in, advance of the Old Town of Bilboa, called Barrio
de Mena, having been taken, till. event caused the report of
the Old Town being taken. The Carlists had hoped at the
commencement of the siege to take Bilboa by a coup de main,
but at present it appears they find it a more difficult task. The
garrison and artillery are numerous, and well seconded by the
National Guards. Provisions and ammunition are in plenty,
and the women even try to rival the inhabitants in defending
the town.
The Carlist report, dated the 18th, at night, says, that on
the 17th a spirited fire was kept up on the gate of St. Au-
gustin, at Bilboa; the Carlists reached the Church; at the
foot was a battery of that name, and the Christinos were en-
trenched in the Church ; the Carlists could not enter, and
went for a cannon to make a breach, but this operation caused

them a number of lives.
The Capt. of (Masseurs of two battalions of Biscay, received two
balls. Young Villiers, Lieut. of Genie, and Captain Michael
Vial, son of the late Minister, and aid-de-camp of General
Eguia, were wounded. The Lieut.-Colonel of Artillery,
Hidalgo, had his head carried off by a 24-pounder. The breach
could not be effected at the Convent until night, and it was
too late to carry it by assault. To-day the bad weather forces
us to take repose. The enemy continued to fire on our bat-
teries with all his artillery, consisting of 25 pieces. To-mor-
row, if the weather permit, we shall continue to fire. Two
pieces, 24 and 16-pounders, have been placed at the battery
on the other side of the river. This battery is opposite the
Convent, which will destroy it. When master of that point,
it will be easy to attack the centre of the town. It is stated
that Espartero, with 18,000 men, is at Soperto.
Other accounts of a date equally recent assure us,
that Bilboa is quite safe for the present ; but that an
action between VILLAREAL and ESPARTERO is in-
evetable. We trust that the latter part of this account
may prove correct, for of the safety of Bilboa we enter-
tain no fears. Nothing but hard fighting will dis-
lodge the Pretender. Advices from St. Sebastian of
the 22d state that General EVANS had offered to send
2,000 men to the assistance of the garrison at Bilboa.
Since writing the above, we have received a second
edition of the Messager of Saturday evening, which
states, on the authority of letters from Bilboa, that on
the 18th the Municipality of the town proposed to
the National Guards that the garrison should capitu-
late. The brave troops were highly incensed, and the
Governor threatened that if the Municipality dared to
repeat the disgraceful words, he would instantly order
every member of them to be shot.
On the morning of the 19th the garrison made a
sortie—retook the heights of San Domingo—dis-
mounted two Carlist batteries—and spiked several
pieces of cannon. The Carlists lost seventeen officers,
besides a great number of privates, in this affair. The
rain was falling in torrents, and had completely pre-
vented the besiegers from carrying on their works.
It was rumoured in Paris that Louis PHILLIPPE
still contemplated a matrimonial alliance between one
of the Princesses and the eldest son of Don CARLos.
General LEBEAU has returned to France, having re-
signed the command of the French Foreign Legion,
which had been raised to support the Queen of SPAIN.

German and Brussels Papers have been received.
They take no notice of a report which was circulate(
in Paris on Saturday of the entire change of the Cabinei
of Russia. It was stated that Count CHARLES NES-
SELRODE is no longer in a state of health to permi
him to remain at the head of foreign affairs, and tiia
his colleagues had petitioned the EMPEROR to he al
lowed to retire with the veteran diplomatist.

VICISSITUDES IN THE LIFE OF DON CARLOS.—
The forthcoming work, entitled " The Revolutions of
Spain," will embrace a narrativo from the most unquestiona-
ble source, of the remarkable incidents in the recent career
of Don Carlos ; amongst which his various hair-breadth es-
capes in Spain and Portugal ; his flight from England ; and
the strange adventures which have marked his subsequent
campaigns, hold a prominent station. The history of this
Prince, may, indeed, be characterised as the romance of real
life.
Mr. Knowles's new play appears at Drury-lane to-
morrow, and the ballet of The Devil on Two Sticks on
Thursday. There is an extraordinary scene in this latter
piece, representing the grand opera at Madrid, in which the
performers all dance with their backs to the public, and
the scenery is all reversed.
Sheridan Knowles's new play will certainly be acted
on Tuesday, and we understand that all the performers
are unusually perfect in a knowledge of their parts. His
production deserves this distinction, and distinction it may
be called, when we recollect how often it happens that the
effect of a first performance is injured, and even marred, by
want of memory or want of pains-taking in the actors.
The author is in high spirits, has sedulously superintended
the rehearsals, and instructed the performers in his meanings
and wishes, and has a very just and well-formed reliance on
his own powers. Had he not acquired the undisputed re-
putation of our first living dramatist, we have the best
reason for thinking that he need entertain no doubt whate-
ver as to the reception, of his new production.—Observer.
The Earl of Wilton has arrived at his hunting lodge
at Melton Mowbray, where the Marquis of Waterford,
Earl of Eglintoun, Lord Macdonald, Sir Frederick John-

The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland entertained a
few distinguished friends last week at their scat, Shiffnal

' day or to-morrow.
Lord and Lady Wharncliffe are entertaining a fa-
mily circle at Wortley Hall, near Huddersfield. It is ru-
moured in the circles of the Court that Lady Wharncliffe
is likely to succeed the late Countess Howe as one of the
Ladies of the Bedchamber to her Majesty.
The Earl of Radnor has arrived at Minestead
Lodge, in the New Forest, on a visit to Colonel and Lady
Georgiana Bulkeley. The Countess has left Coleshill Park,
Berks, for Ramsgate.
We learn from Frankfort-on-the-Oder, that St.
Martin's Fair this year has not been very productive. Cloths
and silks were very little in demand, and no great deal of
business was done in English goods. The wools were with-
out buyers, although there were not more than between
4,000 and 5,000 quintals in the market.
The.public Journals have spoken of a project for
reopening an ancient mouth of the Danube, which has
long been unnavigable. It is certain that a survey was or-
dered, but the result is said by no means to favour the
hopes of seeing that important project realized. The diffi-
culties of all kinds are said to be so very great that they
cannot be overcome, except by the joint efforts of the Aus-
trian and Turkish governments, which would doubtless be
seconded by the inhabitants of the banks of the lower Da-
nube, as by those of Rudschuk, Silistria, &e., and the
Steam-Navigation Company.
Vi; 'riday, and for some days past, men have been

THE MARKETS--(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.
Last weeks' arrivals of all descriptions of Grain and Flour
were considerable, and the trade for \Vheat was dearer--for
other articles the previous prices were maintained. This
morning. the fresh supplies of Corn have been moderate. Such
parcels of Wheat as are dry and fine were taken off by our
millers at 2s. per quarter advance in the terms of last Monday,
but the chief part of the supply being tender, the general trade
was dull, at last week's prices. Barley continues to meet a
heavy sale, and is Is. to 23. per quarter chea2er than this day
e'tini'ght. Beans, both old and new, find a fair demand, and
well maintain their currency. Boiling Pery;e remain as last
reported, with a slow sale. Grey Pease hardly support their
value. There has been a limited demand for Oats to-day,
and last Monday's rates have been with difficulty maintained.
The prices of Flour remain unaltered, and the demand is not
extensive.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET.—Nov. 23,
We had a moderate supply of Wheat from the growers to-
day, as well as very limited coasting arrivals, and the whole
was cleared off quickly, at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter
on the prices of last Saturday. Barley is in fair request, at a
further decline of Is. per quarter. The supply of Oats was
exceedingly large, but there being a speculative demand, last
week's rates were obtained. Rye was again much inquired
after to-day, and prices were full Is. per quarter higher. In
Malt we can quote no change. Beans and Pease are in fair
demand, at late prices. Flour is in rather more request, and
our quotations are fully supported.

ANOTHER FAILURE AT CARLISLE.—It appears
that the failure of the Messrs. Forster, by creating suspi-
cion against other Banking establiShments, led to the sus-
pension of payments by the Messrs. Connell, of Carlisle.
We give the following extracts on the subject from the
Carlisle Journal:—" The demand for gold at the other
Banks went on silently but surely, and, in the case of
Messrs. Ccnnell, to a considerable extent on Saturday and
Monday. One of the firm of Messrs. Connell and Co., it
is understood, proceeded to London on Saturday to obtain
the necessary supplies of gold, to meet the continual drain
to which the Bank was subjected. In this object, it seems,
be was disappointed. The consequence was, that on Mr.
Connell's return to Carlisle on Wednesday, the Bank sus-
pended its payments. In this case it is not at all appre-
hended that there will be any ultimate loss. The securi-
ties, we believe, are ample to meet all demands, but it may
require some time to turn those securities to cash. The
Bank did not do any great extent of business, and their
issues were limited in amount. With respect to the failure
of the Messrs. Forster, nothing certain is yet known as to
how the affairs are likely to wind up. The liabilities of the
Bank amount to 450,0001. As a set-off to this, the real
property may be estimated (at a low valuation), as worth
100,0001., and the good debts and other available assets
at 270,0001., making altogether 370,0001., and leaving a
deficiency of about 80,0001. This, it must be remembered,
is not an official statement, though we have no doubt it will
be found substantially correct. The number of small de-
positors in the Bank appears to have been very great, and
amongst a class of persons who would have had much bet-
ter security and better interest in the Savings' Bank. The
extent of these deposits shows how very general was the
confidence reposed ; and may give distant readers some
idea of the distress and alarm which the failure has caused
in the immediate neighbourhood. It is gratifying, however,
to add, that the failure has not had the effect of throw-
ing our people out of employment. One extensive builder
has been compelled to close his works, but the principal
part of the workmen are continued in their employment by
the parties for whom the buildings were going on. By the
failure of Messrs. Forster, at least one hundred thousand
pounds have been withdrawn from circulation in the city and
its immediate neighbourhood. This must be supplied from
some source,"
