THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY•)

The Tory Journals, which have suddenly found
out that the financial measures of her Majesty's
Ministers are most unsound, seem to have wholly
forgotten that they had the approbation of their
party on May 15th, when they were proposed.
Mr. GOULBURN, indeed, ventured to throw out a
doubt whether the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QuEn would reap all the advantage he expected
from the increased rates ; but Sir It. PEEL, and
the whole of the party, applauded the plan, and
urged forward the CHANCELLOR in establishing a
permanent system of taxation, which should bring
up the revenue to the expenditure. Sir R. PEEL
said—" Ile was favourable not only to the pr►n-
ciple of the Right Hon. Gentleman's plan, namely,
increased taxation to meet existing difficulties, b►.t
also to the general principle of the imposts pro-
posed." There was a division on the Budget, but
it was on a mot►on of Mr. HumE, hot on an ob-
jection raised by the Tories. For the increased
scale of taxation the Tories are as much responsible
as the Whigs, and for the diminished product they
are chiefly or wholly to blame.

The Mad►id Papers received this morning are of
the sth instant. ESPARTERO etas summoned to

CORN EXCHANGE.
Thcre have been small fresh arrivals of Grain rince
Monday. A few salts of good Wheat were made a: the
terms of Monday, other qualities neglected. Oats of good
quality maintained their value. In other Grain no varia-
tion. Flour very dull, and the top nominal price was re-
duced to 58s. per sack.
COLONIAL MARKET.
There was little activity in the market, the Public
Sales were light, and privately there was only a limited
business done, either for Home use or Export ; prices,
however, were firm for all the leading articles. 'ftie Iw-
ports were light from all quarters.
TEA MARKET.
There was a fair amount a business done in Frce Trade
Tea, and former rates were fully supported. Company's
Congou in request at 24. 3d. per lb. cash.
'INDIGO MARKET.
Since the first day's sale prices have varied little from
the rates then establ:sbed, and there has bean a good home
and export demand.
TALLOW MARKET. _ _ .

Prices were kept up by importers, but the trade bought
with caution, both on the spot and to arrive ; 52i. was the
quotatio❑ for the former, and 62i. 6d. 53i. for the
latter purpose.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'COLCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. W.—Our
Market to-day has been very fiat, no more than 1,000
bags having been sold; the prices of yesterday were
maintained.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, OCT. 13. Grand
Junction, 216 nominal price : Great Western, 811 ;
Hall-shares, -131 ; London and Birmingham, 160:1-.
Our Share Market still continues without unimatiat
and prices still tending downwards.

We copy tle following from the Calcutta Commercial
Advertiser of the 4th of August :—" There has been a
pretty general understanding that torture has been fre-
quently used on the Mofussil in the collection of the
revenue ; and that one would have thought our paternal
rulers would institate some inquiry into the matter ;
and either obviate the recurrence of this enormity, or
expose the falsity of the imputation ; probably front the
general and indefin to nature of the statement they were
unwilling to enter into the task. A correspondent of the
Englishman refers to the subject, which, we hope, may
draw the attention of the Government. Surely it is not
less important than the Cooley affair, in which all Cal-

cutta was in arms.
"Accounts from Rangoon state that a boat had arrived
from the capital in ten days, bringing accounts
that the following persons were executed. The old
Queen (wife of the deposed King) her brother and his
daughter, and three other women ; besides these seven-
teen officers of the old King, had been executed, and a
great many others of rank were in confinement, awaiting
a similar fate. All those persons were suspected of, or
proved to be implicated in, the designs of the malcon-
tents. According to the Burmese custom, the old
Queen was trampled to death by an elephant. The
whole number of executions that have occurred in con-
sequence of the insurrection is stated to be about 90."

THE FUNDS.
The only arrival this morning is the French mail.
Extracts from the French press will be found in another
part of the paper. The steamer Irons the coast of
Syria had not arrived, but was expected every hour, in
a French port.
This being settling day in the British Funds the chief
business doing is settling their differences. Consols,
which left off yesterday at 517 a Sellers for the Ac-
count, opened at 87'41, afterwards receded to 87.10 at
present 871 i ; for the November Account done at 88i.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The settling in the British Market is going off we
to the present hour. The extreme fluctuation from the
highest to the lowest price), during the account, may be
quoted about 33 per cent. Money is easy on Consols
and Exchequer Bills. In the early part of the morn-
ing Consols were buoyant, since which the market has
taken a turn, and Consols receded about 3 per cent,
from 87 to 874- ;as yet we cannot say if it is a bear or
bull account. It is stated that Messrs Rothschild have
taken a good deal of stock this morning,
We also learn that a great speculator in the funds at
Paris has become a lame duck.
The fluctuations in Consols this morning have been
874 3 3 ; at present 874 for the Account and Money ;
for the 26th November Account, 574 ; Exchequer
Bills, 4 2 5 prem., better ; Bank Stock for opening,
166 1653 lower.

Share Market has been inactive during thet morn-
ing. London and Brighton, 28;i1.
We do not hear as yet of any arrival from the United
States, for which the merchants connected with Ame-
rica are anxiously waiting.
Again this morning the crowd is great at the Bank
to receive their dividends.

ERRATUM.—In our report of the proceedings
in the Court of Bankruptcy yesterday, for " James Dern-
ncn," read " James Dencw."
DUNKELD.—A small field, situated on the
south bank of the river Braan, near Inver, measuring less
less than 2:f Scotch acres, has this year yielded the extra-
ordinary produce of 4'2 bolls of oats; while the straw,
should the owner be disposed
.to sell it, would realise 20/:
Last year, this field, which is of an e.xtremely light and
thin soil, produced the surprising quantity of 200 bolls of
potatoes,— Caledonian Mercury.
