in view was a fresh application to the 'French'
Government, not to prevent the evacuation, as it
had been already partly carried into effect, but
to augment the number of the places which
should remain occupied, and to leave garrisons
in the cities of Saragossa and Malaga, so as to
make the French force in Spain twenty-five
thousand men. The only thing, however, which
had transpired with any degree of certainty, was
the fact that an express had been sent off
to Paris with dispatches immediately after the
breaking un of the Council. The number of Con-
stitutional 'bands rising in different parts of the
country was still increasing, and as they were
well armed, much alarm was felt by the friends
of the present system lest they should grow, too
strong to be put down, when the French should
have left Ferdinand and his Ministers to support
themselves as they could.

[NEW TIMES.]
Yesterday the usual expresses were received
from Paris with accounts to Saturday evening.
The private letters (which, as well as the papers,
contain very little of political interest) notice a
considerable improvement in the French Funds,
which closed for Money at 101 f. 6.5 c., and were
subsequently purchased at 102 f. 10c. to 15c.
fur the Account. The above information
gave an impulse yesterday to the British
Funds, Consols closing at 9548 for the Ac-
count; as also to the Continental Securities,
which were much higher than on Saturday. The
French Itentes were freely purchased at 102 f. ;
and the Scrip of the last Loan advanced to 13.1
premium ; the Scrip of the last Neapolitan Loan
(the letters from Paris stating a considerable de-
mand for this Stock), which had been previously
at a very small premium, advanced to 18 per cent.
Danish Bonds were (including the dividend) 1041,
and Prussian Bonds 102. The South American
Securities, in common with almost every descrip-
tion of funded property were higher in price.—
In the New Mining Shares the prices remain
without alteration. A ❑ew company for the
working of certain mines, in the neighbourhood
of Buenos Ayres, has been talked of for some
days, and will, it is expected, be brought out
this day, under the management of Messrs. Hut-
lett, Brothers, and Co. Tine shares were reported
yesterday to bear a premium of from 10 to 11
per cent. in anticipation.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The commerce of England is rapidly assuming
a more extended character, and her vast capital
is penetrating into the most distant quarters for
employment. Joint Stock Companies are form-
ing for the most extensive operations, and the
experience of the past shews that, under able ma-
nagement, no doubt can be entertained of the
success of their undertakings. The Charter of
the Bank of England, however, stands in the way
of Joint Stock Banks in England, from which the
inhabitants of Scotland have reached such vast
advantages. The monopoly of Banking, however,
in England, will soon yield to the enlightened
commercial operations of this truly new era in
human affairs. The Rio de la Plata Associa-
tion for working the Mines of Buenos Ayres, has
ut length been formed. The capital to be em-
ployed amounts to one million sterling, and, if
necessary, it may be increased. It is divided
into ten thousand shares of one hundred pounds
each. The Directors maintain the highest sta-
tion in the City of London, and every confidence
may be reposed in their knowledge of the prin-
ciples of commerce. A Joint Stock Bank has
been formed for Ireland ; and if the Local Di-
rectors be held responsible for their conduct to
the extent of their private property, the Asso-
ciation will receive any assistance from Capi-
talists, and whilst it will be of great importance
to Ireland, it cannot fail to yield a fair return to
its proprietors.
