the Minister of the necessity of keeping put,'ll9 atten-
tion morbidly excited in absurd expectation o f a war
with England. Louis Philippe himself,l,‘owever, thinks
fit to complete the melo-drama by visiting,. after a hair-
breadth escape from the perils of the deeo, and 'other
most exciting incidents of flood and field, the scene
whereon the invader had but just attempted t'o deprive
him of his crown. His Majesty was congrolulated
very properly by his faithful subjects on the o:Etsgers
which he and his dynasty had escaped, and thus it
completed a little coup du theatre, which will serve kb
entertain a great part of the French people for the next.
six months.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS'S.

(THURSDAY EVENING.)
TIMES.—It will be remembered that on the arri-
val in London of $60,000 from Chili about a month
ago, the more cautious speculators did not allow their
expectations to be too highly raised, notwithstanding a
temporary excitement on the Stock-Exchange, w
was produced by the arrival. Recent occurrences have
shown that their caution was right, for at the time of
that remittance the Minister told the agent for the
bondholders in Colombia that further remittances 1. ould
be sent in April and May. Now nothing is heard of
these further remittances, but the last communication.
received from the Minister merely states in general
terms that payment will be made when the state or
finances renders it possible. Parties acquainted with
Chili well know that there is more a want of the will
than of the power to pay the dividends, and a statement
confirmato"y of that opinion may be found in a work re-
cently published on foreign loans by Mr. Sutcliffe. Ac-
cording to this statement, which is for six successive
months during the campaign in Peru, the receipts and,
disbursements of the treasury of Chili were as follow :
Receipts. Disbursements.
Dollars. Dollars.

Thus, for every month during this period the receipts
exceed the disbursements, and exhibit the republic in a
perfect state of solvency. The object of the author of
ihe
riamphlet is to show that it is not the fault of the:
chifianb- in general, but of the Spanish faction called the
" Faroleros, that the interest on the Chilian loan:
has not been poctu I y paid. At the same time, to
make out this poitn: it exhibits the existence of re-
sources generally, and v.:bile it would def:lnd the Chi-
bans themselves, serves w exhibit that there must
have been a want of good faith somewhere. A dis-
cussion between the Chiliae Minister and the re-
presentative of the bondholders in Chili on the
settlement of the arrears has been in circulation in
the city ; but it appears that it was a mere conversa-
tion, and that there was nothing official in the proposals
of the Minister, which are, therefore, to be reg,lrded as
little more than suggestions. As for the proposals by
the South American Government, made throug h the
medium of their agents in London, it seems now t,l he
pretty generally believed among the more sagacious ob-
servers, that the preposterous offers, which are brought:
forward every now and then, are not even meant to be-
accepted, but are merely designed to gain time, since in
conveying a refusal to the Government, and bringing
back a new offer, to be rejected in its turn, nearly a
year is consumed as a matter of course. The course.
lately adopted by the Colombian Governments very
much bears out this opinion, and the only difference be-
tween their conduct and that of Buenos Ayres and.
Peru, also non-paying states, is, that the latter do not
even hold out this vague pretence of coming to a set-
tlement, which, perhaps, if we adopt the general belief
that the deception is systematic, is the honestcr course
of the two.

POST.—The funds were rather disposed to improve
in the early part of the day. Some importance was at—
tached to the complimentary language of Louis Phi—
lippe to poor Mr. Coates at Boulogne, but which ap-.
pears to be really entitled to little or no attention, as it
is hardly to be expected that his Majesty should have
entered into any bona fide explanations of the policy
intended to be pursued by France towards England,
with respect to the East:gm question, upon the staircase
of a tavern, especially with a gentleman so eccentric as
Mr. Romeo Coates. The quotations came considerably
worse from Paris, and by no means favourab!v from the
other principal cities of the Continent. A .re;'rograda
tion was consequently experienced with us at a later
hour of the day.

HERALD.—Some considerable sales of stock to-
day made the market feverish, and although later on
what is called a " pigeon" buyer or two, came in and
effected some purchases, but not ov a large scale, yet
Consols did not recover, and closed at 90 to 90 for
account. From the appearance in ti:e market of the
pigeon people referred to, it may be supposed that.
prices were brought over rather better from Par:a.
The previous sales excited the sore interest from the
strong suspicion generally entertained by those best
conversant with the movements of parties in thL
house that in reality they were for the account of the
Jew party. It is well known that the policy
and inclination of this party always lead the, m to
operate on the opposite tack, and that they are sehfour
or never found " bears" or sellers, except in consequenoc
of the receipt of some extraordinary and exclusive in-
telligence, or a strong conviction of something really
portentous in the state of political or monetary affairs.
The private advices from Paris represent that accounts
had been received there of the failure of St. Aulaire qn
the principal objects of his mission to Vienna, which:
were to gain over Metternich and procure the accept-
ance of the mediation of France for the arrangement of

The Susan, private ship, is reported at Leith, last
from St. Helena, which she left June 27, and sailed
from the coast of China on the 31st of March. She-.
brings reports that the Guesachan.was still on the coast
with her itrsa,d cargo on board, and that the .11oyal
Saxon, Eliza Stewart, Asia, and Arabian, were loaded
and heavy for sea when she left. The General Kyd
and Glowlg had considerable progress.in taking in cargo.
The Frances Anne Hay and 3fanga/orc were partly
loaded. The following is the tonnage of these vessels

SUN.—The importance of extending our trade with
South America, in which direction our rivals, the Ame-
ricans, are pushing theirs with so much spirit and enter-
prise, induces us to direct attention to the follow mg
fact :—A short time since a vessel of a very !arge
tonnage left a port in the United States with I ~500
packages of dry goods, three-fourths of which were.ct
American manufacture for the Pacific. The
owner of this ship is connected with an establisher'
Mexican house of great wealth, by which means tht
new trade about to be opened will be conducted or:
an extensive scale. The cargo of this vessel Iva!
valued at 150,000 dollars. An active and large busi
'less is carried on by land from St. Louis to Santa Fe.
By some this is confounded with the commerce existing
with California, but the two are entirely disconnected.
The Americans are sanguine as to securing to them-
selves, in a few years, almost a monopoly of the South.
American trade, but we trust that the Pacific
Steam Company will enable us also to have e

are acting one upon the other. The football of declim
is kicked from London to Paris, and thence to Vienni,
and the German towns ; and by the same rule, when
rally occurs here, we may expect the same thing else
where. The Market was heavy to-day. Consols fo.•
present transfer at 90 to I-, and for Account 90 to 20i1,
closing for both at 901 only, owing to an express said
to have been received by the pigeon-men with the in-
telligence of a fall of 2 per cent. in the French Rentes
yesterday. The duty on foreign grain admissible for
home consumption being now reduced to 6s. Bd. per
quarter, it is probable that a large quantity will be re-
leased from bond, and this has caused money to be
easier to-day, as our merchants will then have,,a large
additional fund available to other purposes. Exchequer
Bills were 23 to 05 premium, and East India Bonds
par ; Bank Stock remained at 1664, but India Stock
declined to 248.
Spanish Bonds, and, indeed, most of the other specu-
lative securities, improved a shade to-day. The
Actives were at 25' to I, Portuguese New Five per
Cents, were steady at 35, and Colombian at ; but
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. dropped to 51i, and
Belgian to 102.
The Railway Shares were not generally higher.
Blackwall left off at b, and South Eastern at 1671- die-
count. Great Western were at 24i premium.
