Accounts from Hanover of the 25th February state that
his Majesty the King is reported to be unwell ; on the
preceding Sunday the King held a meeting with several
Generals, but was obliged to leave the meeting, and retired
to bed at four o'clock in the afternoon ; but no bulletins
have as yet appeared.

during the morning. Consols continue firm at 91 for the
Account ; Money 90i ; Exchequer Bills 5 3 prem. ;

Stock nothing done.

In the Foreign Market no business doing in any of the
Funds, with the exception of Spanish Acive, which con-
tinues buoyant, and reached, in the course of the morning,
30. We understand that the rise is not only attributed
to Thiers being Prime Minister, but to a scheme in agita-
tion in the Stock Exchange with the Spanish Bondholders,
which will furnish them better security than the y hold at
present for the payment of their dividends. Spanish Active

PENALTY OF POPERY.—UpOII an atten-
dance of the Irish at the race course of Assolas, in Clare,
their horses were all seized under the Elizabethan law, that no
Irishman should have in his possession a horse of the value of
more than Si. : and this was carried half a century later into
execution, as it is not more than forty-seven years ago that a
Catholic's horse in this county having won a heat from some
of the Protestant gentry's nags, the beast was claimed by one of
them, according to the law ; but, it was successfully resisted
upon the part of the Catholic gentlemen by the rest of the Pro-
testants assembled there.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-- On Saturday morning
last about the period when the colliers of the Erwfawr colliery,
Llanelly, had commenced their work, six of them were in the
act of being let down in the basket, when it came in collision
with another a hich was ascending at the same time, the con-
cussion was so violent that three of them were thrown out, and
precipitated to the bottom, a depth of 50 or 60 yards. One of
the poor fellows uttered a few groans before he expired, but
the other two were quite dead. Had the pit been furnished
with conducting rods, the accident would not have happened.
