Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived.
The Gageta states that the documents published by
the Faro (the Afrancesado organ), purporting to be
the correspondence between Senor I'ACHECO and Mr.
BULWER, on the affairs of Portugal, are forgeries ;
and that the real correspondence will be published
officially in a few days.
The Heraldo states that General ALZAA, who was
arrested at Bayonne, was the bearer of orders to
General VILLAREAL, the Carlist Commander-in-Chief
in Navarre, to take measures to strike an immediate
blow. The Captain-General of Catalonia, General
PAVIA, defeated a Carlist band at Torre del Espanol
on the 11th, and took one of their commanders pri-
soner. In Burgos, Toledo, and Gerona the Queen's
troops have likewise succeeded in slispersing various
Carlist bands.

The QUEEN has left Madrid for La Granja, and

It is said that Don ENRIQUE, who is at Bagneres
between Queen ISABELLA
de Luchon, has offered himself to the Span Rh Go-
vernmentand her consort, Don FRANCISCO DE Ass's. He
has at the same time written to his brother, urging
him to reunite himself to the QUEEN. The Spanish
Government has not yet returned any answer to the
Prince. It is added that Don ENRIQUE has written
also in energetic terms to his father Don FRANCISCO,
protesting against the projected marriage between the
Infanta JosEruA and General PORTILL4:).
The Correo, notwithstanding ' the denial of the
Duke of SOTOMAYOR and his colleagues, maintains
that during the latter period of the Sotomayor Mi-
nistry, the KING usurped all authority in the palace
to such an extent, that he would not allow any one to
enter the QUEEN'S apartment, or have an interview
with her MAJESTY, without his permission.

" Sir Robert Peel is in advance not only of his party,
but lixewise of public opinion. If he had any preten-
sions to return to office, it is probable that he would nut
thus compromise himself, but he is at present completely
out of the question. He observes and he waits his op-
portunity. Lord John Russell, less disinterested in the
question, consults and follows the current of public
opinion, and it appears certain that the ensuing elections
will give him a large majority, but a majority ct.rnposed
of shreds and patches, pulliog on all sides at once, and
representing ad the parties to which he is at present
addressing himself viz., the Protectionists, who de-
test Sr Robert Peel ; the Conservatives, who wish to
maintain the Protestant Constitution ; and the Liberals,
who cannot forget that the descendant of the Russells
is the most illustrious and the most beloved of their
party, the author of the Reform Bill, and hitherto the
defender and the patron of the religious dissenters of all
denominations."

14 artillerymen and 8 civilians in the stores at the
time of the explosion. Two of the artillerymen and
four civilians escaped without serious injury. Thir-
teen dead bodies were conveyed to the hospital, to-
gether with four wounded, ono of whom died imme-
diately. The fire, which raged during three hours
after the explosion, was finally extinguished. The
most perfect order prevailed during the fire, and the
operatives employed in the dockyard exerted them-
selves to the utmost to extinguish the fire. The
cause of the calamity has not been ascertained.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TU THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool was rather firmer:
sales 3,000 oaks, including 2,500 American, at 64d. to
74d. per lb. Shares were dull, but with little change in
prices.
As the Corn trade is now the object of such general
attention, it may be interesting to direct our readers to
the fall ot about ss. per quarter noticed in the report ot
the market given in another column ut The Sun, and with
the possiodtty of a greater decline ere the conclusion of
business. The supplies which have been received in
Lieden since this day week have been enormous, viz.,
78,000 crs. of wheat, 21.000 of barley, 36,000 of oats, 6,000
of Indian corn, and 50,000 barrels of flour. About 60,000
quarters were on board vessels passing the Sound, ,c-
-c,Tding to the advices received this morning, and
360,000 quarters are estimated to have reached all toe
ports of the United Kqigdom during the past weak, a
tolerable stop gap for the national consumption. Up to
the 19th inst. there has been a vast influx of shipping
into Riga, and the number of vessels which left that
port during the previous ten weeks, nearly all corn-
laden, was no less than 1,500.
The exchange at Uamburgh last Friday was without
alteration, being 35, but gold was at 431.
When we consider the extraordinary quantity of grain
received, we cannot feel surprised at the recent decline
in the rates for bills of exchange, because no doubt a
good deal, probably the bulk of this corn, and much of
what is en route, has already been drawn for. The larger
amount of silver sent away last week, upwards ot 500,000
ounces, was in part liquidation.
The Funds have been quiet. and still exhibit a want
of buoyancy. C-nsols are 881 4 for money, and 884

The trial of M. PELLAPRA took place before the
Chamber of Peers on Friday. In reply to a question
from the Chancellor, the accused gave the following
account of the part which he had taken in the cor-
ruption of M. 'I'ESTE
,11,•; requested by M. Cubes to take some step.
with M. Teste to entreat him to hasten the concession,
which bad been applied tor the mines of Gouhenans. I
saw M. Teste on thv business without thinking that I
should have to occupy mvseli with— corruption, and I
represented to him that the ptrsons interested in ti
affair were vt ty at xtouS to obtain the largest concession
possible, and, above all, to obtain it before the vacations.
M. T ste replied that every affair could only come in its
turn, and in the course of the conversation he told me
that he regarded the nines of tiounenans as an excel-
lent aflair. 'I his word facilitwed to me an overture,
which AI. Cubieres had made to me, that the parties
were ready to make a sacrifice, if there were abates to
say to the Aliiaster, If you think the affair
give some person. I commitied the grave fault, I con
foss,
hut I hate no money;' on which I said,
go ccl, why should you not take an interest in it?' He
is
po 'Yes,
that you may not be asked for any.'
But replied, i
Here the conversation stopptd for that day. Another
'line M. Teste said to me, ' I have reflected well; I can
not take shares in an affair of this nature; I prefer re-
ceiving the value of the shares. Have you any dispos-
able tund,?' I replied to M. Teste that a quid of
100 0001. had been created. This is all the part that I
took in this unhapry affair up to the day when I gave to
M. Teste the value of the shares."

ONE

During a subsequent part of the proceedings M.
PELLAPRA gave an account of the ultimate disposal of
the 100,000 f., the investment of which led to the dis-
covery of the means of convicting M. TESTE. The
accused said—
" When I Lave to M. Teste the 100,000 franca which
had bt en promised to him, ne put the sum into his
drawer. Surae days afterwards I saw him again, and
said—My dear triend, as you are willing to be my

banker, employ this sum for the one which is in m.)

The Court, on Saturday, pronounced a verdict of
guilty, and sentenced M. YELLANIA to civil degra-
dation, and a fine of ten thousand francs. The fine
was paid and the accused discharged.
The Presse takes the opportunity of the conviction
of PELLAPRA to reiterate the charges brought by M.
EMILE DE GIRARDIN against M. DUCHATEL,, and
to demand a judicial investigation.
The Gazette des '1 ribunaux says—" We hear that
the health of M. Tr.sTE is not recovering from the
violent shock v, hich he experienced from the last dis-
cussions in the Court of Peers. Since his arrival at
the Conetergerie he: appears threatened with cerebral
congestion. Applications of ice to the bead have
been employed, but without the success that was ex-
pected."
The Chamber of Deputies, on Friday, passed the
GovtlllTeP.t Loan Bill. The Dieppe and Fecamp
Rail way Bill, the Lyons' and AvignOn,. the Versailles
and Chartres, and the Montereau and Troyes Rail-
. way Bills have Likewise betia passed by th 9 Chamber.
