COLONIAL MARKET.

The public sales went (ff without spirit, but in prices
no varitifon of moment took place, spices and rice were the
principal:articles offered; by private treaty there was little
done either for export or refining under bond. The imports
keep light.

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 29.--The Bourse
to-day remained inanimate ; there was nothing doing
either in the National Funds or the Foreign ; at the
close they were heavy.

We copy the following from the Quebec PuFers
the 3d of September :
The Kingston Herald says, with respect to the
union, we thi❑k it will not come into operation for some
time, inasmuch as there is a great deal to do before it
can be established. We believe the Governor-General
intends to act, with the consent of the Special Cour.cils, in
Lower Canada as he is still authorised to do. Whether
he still intends to appoint these Councils himself for
three years, with power of taxation, by bye-laws, to last
till he consents to their repeal, as he thought it his
duty to recommend in the Bill seat home from To-
ronto last winter, is not said ; but something of the
kind is indeed required to be done, to enable
him to pay the interest of the Upper Canada debt.
some 60,0001. or 70,0001. pounds a-year, for which
debt Messrs. Barings, of London, are the chief con-
tractors, and the permanent civil list of 8,000/. a-year,
all of which he felt it to be his duty to recommend to
be paid out of the provincial revenue in preference to
other payments for the public use of the province.

THE FUNDS,

The French Funds coming 11 per cent. lower has
had the efT2ct rather to damp the British Funds.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 8811 sellers for
the Account, opened at 884, at present may be quoted
at 88,8, with hale doing as yet. Exchequer Bills, 5 7
preen ; India Bondi, 3 6 discount ; Bank Stock, 166 i

HALF-PAST ONE.

Since the early part of the morning the British Market
has become heavy, and Consols receded to 87i 88 for
the Account. We understand that this depression does
not proceczd from any intelligence having been received
of an unfavourable nature, but merely from the private
letters received from Paris, stating that the settling of
the account there is going off unfavourably ; consequently
a further decline is anticipated in the French Funds
by the speculators. A good deal of Stock has been sold
during the morning, particularly by the Hebrews.

Consols at present 87i for the Account ; Money 874 ;
Exchequer Bills improved, 7 5 8 premium ; India
Bonds, 6 3 dis.
In the Foreign Market the chief business doing is
in Spanish Active, which ha 3 receded from 221 to 221 ;
Portuguese, 334 ; Three per Cents., 213- ; Dutch Two-
and-a- Half-per Cents., 501 ; Five per Cents , 97i
ex dividend.

Since the above has been written, it is supposed that
the Hebrew party who have been selling have received
some unfavourable intelligence from the East.
In Shares little or nothing doing. Cheltenham and
Great Western, 22 ; Great Western, New, 46i.

strangers of distinction now here is the Marquis of Lou
d onderry.

AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 29.—We have received
the following from the Hague, dated yesterday, the 28th :
" In spite of the apparent difficulties of the Oriental Ques-
tion, the diplomatic body entertain the fullest confidence
that, however warlike the news from Constantinople may
Le, the pe,:ee of Europe will not be in any way disturbed ;
nay, that even the commencement of measures of coercion
against Mehemet Ali will be the signal for the settlement
of the question."
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
will take his departure to.moirow for Germany to join the

The attention of the Board of Guardians has
been recently directed to what appears to us a very flagrant
case of misappropriation of charitable funds, which took
place in the parish of the Holy Sepulchre some years back,

The recent affair about the black bottle, at the
mess of the Eleventh Hussars, has been aptly called " the
battle of the Moselle."
Mr. Gladstone intends, it is said, to retire from

sLfliciently served the purpose of " warming-pan" at Wood.
