the sth says, " It was reported that the day before yes-
terday M. Maurice Duval received 400,000 francs out of
the secret funds for the payment of spies. After the re-
ceipt of this sum, part of the spies, who had not sufficient
employment at Toulouse, are said to have been sent to
the neighbouring towns. Let the patriots be on their
guard against new faces. The police, or the extraordi-
nary Commission sent here, must have received some re-
ports, for we are assured that several detachments of
troops have marched for different places.—Le Commerce,

Since the above was written, an Express has
arrived from Paris, dated Monday, bringing in-
telligence of considerable importance, both as
respects France and Spain, which will be found
in another column.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
We had but a small business doing to-day in
the Funds, and money bargains were at / per cent. reduc-
tion on yesterday's rates. There seems at present to be
more demand for discount accommodations, the increase
or diminution of which must materially depend upon
the extent to which speculation in foreign corn may be
carried. Consols were not quoted higher, 89k for im-
mediate transfer, and 89' to for account. Bank
Stock was dull at 169 ; and Exchequer Bills continued at
l4s. to 16s. premium ; the New Three-and-a-Half per
Jents. were at 98/ to ; and the Three per Cents. at
90 to 1.
The bargains in the Foreign Market extended to a
very limited compass, being confined to the following
Stocks :—Active Spanish Bonds receded to 20 and 19i
to ; the Deferred Stock of 1838 was 161, and that of
1841 at 134; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were
steady at 52 to 1; the Five per Cents. at 1028 ; and
Russian at 114.
The Railway Shares were in some instances lower.
Great Western at 18 to 18/, the New at 71, the Fifths
at 5 to s*, the London and Birmingham at 70 to 71,
and the South Western at 13/ to 131 premium. Brighton
were 64, Manchester and Leeds, New, 9, and South
Eastern 201 discount. London Joint Stock Bank Shares
were 2i premium.
There was an appearance of heaviness in the Foreign
Exchanges this afternoon. There seems to be still a de-
mand for bills. At Hamburgh, on Friday last, the ex-
change on London was 13 4, and the price of gold 429/.
The rates most current here this afternoon were these :
Paris, 25f. 55c. to 60c. ; Amsterdam, 12 to 4 ; Ant-
werp, 12 31 to k; Hamburgb, 13 9 to I ; Frankfort,
1491 to k ; and Trieste, 9 50 to 9 52.
The following are the official returns of the exports of
bullion for the week ending Thursday last :

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 9.—We have
had a fair amount of business doing in the Cotton mar-
ket to-day. The sales consist of 3,000 bales, of which
750 have been taken by exporters. Nothing is reported
in speculation, but prices are steady.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, AUG. 9.—The business
in the Share market to-day has been very limited. The
transactions are as follow :—Grand Junction, 198 ;
Half Shares, 98 ; Manchester and Leeds, 50.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 9.—We have
had a very inanimate market, and prices do not advance.
London and Birmingham, 160 161 ; ditto, Old, 32/.
shares, 531 ; ditto, New, 321. shares, 24 24-f ; London
and South Western, 52 53 ; Bank of Manchester. 5.

We have received Hobart Town Papers to the 10th
April. It is our pleasing task to announce the safe re•
turn to our port of her Majesty's discovery ships Erebus
and Terror, Captain Ross and. Crozier, after a voyage of
six months to the Antarctic Pole. The expedition has
been crowned with the most complete success. As soon
as the season promises a chance of additional success,
Captain Ross will again explore the Antartic regions.
The barrier of ice which impeded their further
progress was traced for three hundred miles eastward.
This expedition has penetrated four degrees further
South than that of the French or Americans. The ap-
pearance of these inhospitable regions is represented as
one continued scene of valleys of ice and mountains of
snow. A discovery was made of a volcanic mountain in a
desert of ice and snow, which must have been extremely
strange if not terrific, and will, no doubt, in England,
furnish the subject of many a panoramic painting. The
officers and crew are all in the enjoyment of excellent
health.
COLONIAL BANR.—The first
the half-yeth iyarlstant meetin
a ngd a
of
this Bank was held on Monday, n,
general statement of the affexpressed airs of thethemselv sharehoes highly
siglily
laid
before the meeting, who
gratified at the general statement, and the flattering
prospects of the Company. A dividend has been de-
clared after the rate of 10 per cent. per annum upon
the paid-up capital.
PORT PHILIP.--SCARCITY OF MONEY.—A farm of 824
acres of land, situated on the river Plenty, twenty-three
miles from Melbourne, together with 800 head of cattle,
were disposed of, on Monday last, by private contract,
for the sum Of 10,000/.
HOBART TOWN MARKETS, APRIL B.—Wheat has come
freely to market since our last, and the demand
has been more settled and steady, but at our former quo-
tations, with no tendency to advance. The mistake of
holding on for high prices last season is now seriously
regretted by many, when too late. Wheat, 6s. to 6s. 6d.;
Oats, ss. to ss. 6d; Barley, English, ss. to ss. 6d.; Hay,
6s. to 6s. 6d. ; Straw, 2s. 6d. to 3s. ; Port Arthur Coals,
18s. to 20s. per ton_ ,
_. Potatoes, 12s. per cwt.
PORT PHILIP. MARKET.—FIour has, if anything,
fallen in price this week, and it may now be purchased
at from 321. to 341. Oats are looking up, from 7s. 6d. to
Bs. 6d. Potatoes are down to 16s. to 18s.
His Excellency trace Lieut.-Governor, as we stated in
our last number, peded on Thursday last to Green-
ponds, and communicated to the Canadian prisoners the
substance of a despatch which he had received from the
Secretary of State, in answer to a recommendation for a
mitigation of the sentences which had been forwarded
home soon after their arrival in the colony. We were
wrong in stating that they are immediately to procure
tickets of leave, they will not receive them until February
next, which will be two years from the time of their
being landed here.
By the Hamburgh Mail arrived last night, the ex-
change upon London comes the same as per last post, but
Gold, mark higher, 4291.
Should the present fine weather continue, we may ex-
pect that the harvest will be of a more cheering descrip-
tion than has been anticipated : persons who have come
from the country agree in stating that the late rains have
not done much damage to the corn.

The British Funds opened this morning with a trifling
improvement, owing to the fineness of the morning.
India Stock, 247 248 ; India Bonds, 6 9 prem.
In the Foreign Market Spanish is a shade better, left
off 20* ;at present 201 ; Deferred, 91 10 ; Passive,
43 1 ; Portuguese, 291 3014 ; Three per Cents., 171 181;

Very little doing in Shares. Prices are rather lower.
Great Western are 57a ; Ditto, Fifths, 9A- ; London
and Brighton are 431 ; Manchester, New, 21 ; South
Eastern and Dover, 17:f.
Th e Tea sales, from the large quantity that is to be
offered, nearly 30,000 packages, are not going off very
briskly, and the result, we are informed, will show a
slight decline on the previous rates. Black qualities,
from their comparative scarcity as regards the more use-
ful descriptions, seem to attract most attention.
Consols, Account, 891 ; Mexican 251 26 ; Spanish
191 20. Nothing doing.

On 13unday last, the Hon. and Rev. Edward
IL Grim. ;ton, late `I.I •. for the borough of St. Alban's,
officiated for the first time as minister, at St. Michael's
Church. The Rev. Gentleman, in the morning service,
