CITRON '?-4.Pi"..-one portion of ' the monoaci fist prees
aatacks Oa to-day for tincliws fault svith'Presisllt Tyler,
because he "'vetoed" the fiscal Bank Bill, afue4. almost
promising, that he would ilea; and the other ',oortion,
because we would not support the preference clef's, led by
a limited class of Spanish bondhoiciers to be
_paic over
the heads of the general body of the foreign eredinies of
that country. • The conduct of the. President of the United
States in regard. to the great and all-atsiorbing question
of the, currency is most impolitic; arid derogatory, be-
sides, .to that candour and fair dealing which have
hitherto been maintained by those wh6 have tilled the
same high and distinguished situation in the fixieral
union. It unhinges all commercial confidence, and must
produce ferther depression in prices thrcughous the
United
_States. The prorogation of Congres'a
iritiiout
sett;ing the question of the currency, end tits, consequent
change in the American administration, bpi, r indeed a-
striking. similitude to the obstinate course of- statesmen
nearer lisme. ; but the American has this difCerence in
his favour, that it is not a question of starvathen which
he 'has se inapreperVpostponed, and that he ;las pro-
miied to bring it again under the notice of the Legisla-
ture, not in Viritary, 1842, but in December; I a'4l.
The
,alexicau :Government has Sent public na'aice to
their aga.nts ih.Europe and America, that they will .expel
parties intruding there without r,
lial.ill Gaut'-asspr;i3 all-and that parties buying lands in Te: tas,
and accepting, titles from the rebel 'Government, must do
so at their own risk, as the Mexican Government cann of
recognise any su.'h titles.
Since the death': of Dr. Francia, Paraguay, and the-
apeniag up of 'the iree navigation of the Parana, have,
attracted public attention. By establishing the free
navigation of that river, British goods might be im-
ported not only to Paraguay, but to Tucuman, Salta,.
and Ileliaie:—Such a project led to the expedition to
Bitenos AyreS of Centre! Whitelock in 1807. Had Dr.
Francia's death been 1t own and credited while Lord
Palmerston was at the head of the Foreign Office, a
treaty so ifsefal to 13ritix commerce might have been
expected ; but we cannot look for anything useful from
:be present de-nothing Cabii:et-

its property by which the Uniteo,Statea Bank complexed.
ats final act of insolvency, and would up its swindiiig
%weer, an opinion was expressed that, sn respect of the.
shareholders there would not probably be left a single•
dint of remainder divisible ow of the magnificent capi-
tal %if 35,000,000 dollars with which the Bank commenced
operations. That-aai-eisaa.''' *te Val -lire- ,te4

of lOsa if not more Upon a careful review, howeeee„
of all the information which has come to hand, no suffi-
cient reason can be found even for modifying the convic-
. Lion already expressed.
In fact, howeve.r, there is little prospect that: even so
much of these pr,-tended assets will ever be rerti.'sed as
as to pay oti,los. iu the pound of this note circuit:firm-
And sad' is: the tiaish of this most stupendous swindle,
for such under the extraordinary and .unprincipled ma-
nagement of. the renowned Mr. Biddle it has proved,' of
late. vearsaand in its final exit from the scene.
Thllf,..aa—The price charged on the London and;
Briton railassy to persons travelling by the seconl-class:
carriages has created some dissatisfaction, parti
among theinhabitants of Brighton, as it is thought the
passengers by the first-class carriages have been unduly
faeoured'at the expense of the rest. For the first-class
carriages the price is 14s. 6d., and for the second 9s. 6d.,
while on the coach road the inside fare is 20s. aad the
outside Ss. and 10s.; that is to say, the travellers by the
firt pay about 25 or 26 per cent. less than on the coach
road, while those in the second, who are about the same
description of persons as Would have travelled on the
outside of the coach, are not relieved at all, and vat
the latter stand more in need of indulgence, as they
'travel for business, while. the others are chiefly
travellers for pleasure. The benefit that would.
arise from' facilitating the journey to London are thus.
inadeqnately enjoyed by the tradesman, as he feels him-
self charged with a heavy sum in every purchase he
makes, while the privileges accorded to his more affluent
fellow passengers show that it is not a matter of necessity
that his profits are• thus taxed. Complaints are also
made that the second class, pasSengers are not allowed to
carry a fair amount of luggage, while every accommoda-
tion is accOrded to the first. Altogether the scale of
charges is thought to be constructed on a principle of
deference to the mere travellers for pleasure which is
unworthy of a public undertaking, especially when the
tendency of railroads is towards a monopoly, and the in-
habitants of the-town may ultimately be left almost at
the mercy of the company.
SUN.—There is a quiet Market for the English Funds,,
and the closing prices of Saturday were generally main-
tained. The New Scrip of Consols was quoted Is. Bd.
premium. For Money Consols realised 89 to 89A-, and
for Account 894- to 89k. Exchequer Bills to-day were
at 12s. to 14s. premium, which is a slight improvement.
on the previous- value ; and East India Bonds got up to
is. and 2s. premium: The New Three-and-a-Halt per.
Cents. were steady at 9S+ to -as
There was less speculation in Spanish Stock to-day,
although the accounts from Madrid do not materially
differ from those coma to hand for somedays past. Prices
were steady.. Espartero's position, encompassed as he is
by numerous hostile factions, and dependent upon his
own energy chiefly for their subjugation, is looked upon
with some anxiety by many of his friends and well
wishers, and especially by the English Bondholders,
who regard his. stay in 'office as the best guarantee
for the tranquillity of 'Spain, and the consequent
.improvenient of their prospects. Spanish Active-130mis
were supported at the improvement to 23 and 23k.
Portuguese New Five per Cent. stock was quoted to-day
31 to a ; and the Three per Cents. 19. Old Brazilian
Five per Cents., without the dividend, were not higher
than 62. - Colombian Stock was done at 20,4- to 201 ;
and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were at a slight
advance, viz., 511 to 51i.
Railway Shares were not much dealt in, and Brighton
k .specially were very depressed, having been down'to
ti tough they rallied subsequently to 64 discount. Great
"estern were 114 to -;? ; Birmingham, 68 ; the New,
; the South Western, 12,1 to ; and the York and
Noeth Midland, 27 premium.
The bill payments to-day, though rather large, passed
off well on the whole.

HAMBURGH MAIL..
S. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 21.—The coma oercial tables
-which for some years past have been annual ly published
by the Minister of Finance, are a valuable .zontribution
to Russian statistics, and show the great pro;;Tess which
L-nanufactures, and through their means coma vrce, hare
made of late years in Russia. Our most exte a sive com-
the Our
gtr ae.:
mere, `al relations are unquestionably those whir. England.
hemp, flax, linseed, bristles, and ;tar are in
Iv..°'-les't demand for that country, and pro bably no
country bu,' Russia could supply England with those ar-
ticles in such quantities, and at such reasona'S:e prices.
At times, wheit ..we are favoured with good harvests, and
when England's own produce is not sufficient for its con-
sumption, which has been the case in former gc oi years,
we might export considerable quantities to that country.
But the English Corn-laws* are an impedimenr to the
importation of foreign corn.
VIENNA. SEPT. 22.—We expect the Prussian ar?.neral
Von Canitz (hitherto accredited in Hanover), am Prus-
sian Ambassador at this Court ; also Count Plp.haut,
from Paris, as Ambassador of France, and Count Sal-
danha of Portugal.—Hamburgh Papers, Oct. 2.
If, as is very probable, a fixed unalterable duty should be
determined on, and as the late Whig Cabinet intend:~d,
may expect a new and favourable era for our corn and, tim-
ber trade.
