CITY, THURSDAY ETENING.

Mails have arrived this morning from Hamburgh and France,
which bring no news either of political or commercial import.'
ance. From St. Petersburgh the letters are dated on the 7th of
September. Trade was exceedingly bad there, even in those
articles whereof the importation was legal. In Tallow, nothing
was doing, and the nominal price was 93 rubles. The Ex-
change began at 10 1-32 d. on London, and closed at 10d. The
subjects.a his Imperial Majesty arc suffering much from his
legitimate interference in their private economy.—The French
mails brings no letters from Turkey or Greece, and the general
anxiety for the fate of the latter country is consequently much
increased by the want of correct intelligence.
A great deal of bustle was created this morning in the Bri-
tish funds by the conflicting interests of the Bulls and Bears.
The latter in the morning sold largely, but their operations
were countervailed by the more extensive purchases of the for-
mer. Consols for the Account opened at 81H, and closed no-
minally at the same price, though the turn of the market
favoured an advance.
The Gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion returned to the
Royal Exchange this morning with renewed spirits and in-
creased nerves. T... 0 expresses arrived in the course of the slay
froiir Paris, which bring an advance in the value of every de-
. scription of national securities there on Tuesday last. The
Renter. were 92i, and Neapolitan Bonds 77, which being the
Same as.the London value, renders them a profitable remittance
from London to the Continent at the present rate of the ex-
change. By these expresses letters are said to have been re-
ceived from Madrid, dated on the 17th current. Their con-
tents have not been made public, but they are understood to
be favourable to the Constitutional Government of Spain.
Great exertions were making to put down the vagabonds
who had assumed the name of Faithful; and by the Gib-
raltar Chronicle, of the 2d of September, information has
.also been • received that many vessels had been chartered
there to proceed to Algesiras, and to convey troops from that
place to Tarragona. The banditti of Catalonia must therefore
soon submitsto the wishes of the peaceably disposed, and the
result of the present attempt to restore the Inquisition and ty-
ii ranny must be the confirmation' of the libertieS of the people.—
' For the end of October the Spanish Old Bonds have been
sold here at7l4, and the appearance, generally, of the market
this day, favours the operations of those speculating on advanced
prices. As yet, it is uncertain whether the new Spanish Loan
.of about 11 millions, and for which the applications are said to
exceed ten millions, will be made public till the dividends are
paid on the 10th proximo. In the new Russian Loan 'a good
deal of business was done early in the day, and considerable
fluctuation took place in that of Chili, occasioned by the settle-
ment of some accounts, and by the large payment to be made
on it on Saturday. The appearance of the foreign market is on
the whole favourable, and confidence generally gains ground in
the ultimate benefit which this vent for surplus capital will con-
fer on the productive classes in the British Empire. The English
Funds are also improving in value, which is the certain effect of
distressed agriculture and a decreasing. commerce.

In Mi cing-lane a good deal of business has been done for
home consumption ; but the Foreign Sugar trade is extremely
depressed. About 3000 hhds. of Sugar have been purchased
by the grocers since Monday, and the prices have evidently im-
proved about Is. a cwt. Coffee is also a little more in demand,
and the prices are a shade dearer. In Rum no transfer can
be made. The present prices of Sugar, as well as Rum, are
ruinous to. West India Proprietors, and it may soon be a
subject of doubt whether to draw tie consumption.of Sugar
and Spirits from wherever they could be procured cheapest,
would not tend more to the common benefit than by giving a
monopoly of the market to the.production of our own Colonies,
whilst these Colonies arc notoriously reaping no benefit
from .thiS hardship imposed. on- the consumers.--(Mortting
Chronicle.)
