Extracts from the Morning Papers, Jan. 27.

[NEW TIMES:3
Yesterday was productive of some fluctuation
in the British Funds. Consols opened for the
Account at.9l, and went up to 91_1; but after-
wards a great effort was made by the Bear party
to beat them down, which so far succeeded as to
brigg them. to 90i,- at which price they closed.
in the •Fpreign Stock Market there was not much
,The:Spanish Bonds were heavy,and closed
.a.t.244; The chief subject of discussion during the
day' )i.as the Mexican Loan, of which a prospectus
.ppeared• in an Evening Paper, but we cannot
lel:rn that its publication was -sanctioned by the
ContraCtois. The Evening Paper referred to,
1'1.6-Never, declares itself, though unfavourable to
-foreign Loins in general, yet rather well disposed
towards 'this- Mexican Loan. We own we cannot
see the grounds of the preference, especially
after the full, and- unequivocal admission by the
Morning Chronicle, that that country is in a most
• unsettled state, and that up to the latest date no
general form of Government whatever had been
agreed upon by the inhabitants. No doubt
Mexican Deputies, Greek Deputies, and all sorts
of Deputies, will easily be found to take English
money ; hut when the question comes to be, who
shall pay .2—the question may not be so easily
answered.

[MORNING 'POST.]
French Papers to the 9.5 th, and the Etoile of
Sunday arrived last night by Express. They
contain intelligence from Spain, by which it ap-
pears that the Marquis of Casa-Irujo did not
long survive his appointment to the Ministry.
It had excited too much displeasure amongst the
Royalists not to create some suspicions that un-
fair means would be taken to remove him from
the direction of affairs, and his death, which
took place on the 18th instant, cannot fail
to strengthen those suspicions. He has been
succeeded by Mr. Heredia, late 'Minister. of
Grace-and Justice, whose office has been filled
by Mr. Calomanda, Secretary of
.the Coun-
cil of Castile. Ferdinand has given a fresh
proof of his love for information and his disposi-
tion to enlighten his people. He has issued di-
rections to the Police not to allow any work, in
.any language whatever, to be admitted into Spain
by sea or laud, without an express order from
himself or the permission of the Council ; the
latter to he given only. after having previously
examined a copy of the book proposed for in-
.troduction. All works that should find their way
Ow the country without leave, are to be seized,
and their owners to be severely punished ; and
particular care is to he taken 44 to. prevent the
introduction, the circulation and the perusal of
journals,
_pamphlets, satires, caricatures, and
other papers or pictures in which his person or
Royal prerogatives may be attacked, or the mea-
sures of his Government ridiculed or censured?'
It is evident that the branch of tl►e Police on
whom this duty may devolve, will enjoy no sine-
cure.- These Papers contain no other intelii-
eence, except an article from Vienna, which
states that the Russian Consul or Negociator,
11(11. Minziacki, had at last reached Bucharest,
(in hiS way to Constantinople, and had .been re-
ceived with extraordinary honours.

[BRITISH 'PRESS.]
.Letters from Demarara to the 29th of
vember state the termination of the proceedings
of the Court Martial for the trial of Smith, the
Missionary, and that the result was transmitted
to the Commander-in-Chief. The finding or
sentence had not transpired ; but a later letter
states, that theithhappy man was found guilty on
the clearest evidence, and that .a day for his
execution. had been. named. The whole subse-
quent proceedings after his trial cave .but
too strong assurance of his fate. He was re-
moved, on the morning of the.27th of Novell"-
4er, from the. Colony House, where he had
hitherto been confined, under a military guard,
to the. New Gaol, where the 21st Fusileers took
the guard, in place of the Militia, in the evening.
If this unfortunate individual has been found
guilty, we trust his guilt was clearly established;
prejudice,. all through the island, has existed
strongly against the Missionaries, and .we fear
with too just cause : if they did not, like Smith,
excite the negroes to open insurrection, their
fanaticism was productive of great mischief. The
spiritual dominion and triumphs announced .by
them in the supremacy of grace, were confound-
ed by the negroes with temporal enfranchisement
and authority ; and deep and dangerous discon-
tents followed. The general expulsion of the
Wesyleyan and other Missionaries from among
the negro population is, in our opinion, indispen-
sable•to the peace of those islands. The stake
at issue is too vast to be trifled with.

[THE TIMES.]

We do not like-the interfer-ence of the softer
sex in politics. .1-lector's advice to his wife, to
attend to the distaff, and leave the toils of war
and the intrigues'of State to ,stronger minds, ap-
plies to all ages. However, when the fair busy-
bodies 'will middle with what does not concern
them, we would • have them corrected with gen
tleness and humanity. The last letters received
frpm.Spain evince the brutality of the present-Go-
vernment by its treatment of females whom it sus-
pects of opposition to its.principles. It appears that
soon after the surrender of Pampeluna, a great
number of persons were arrested, among.whom,
uuder'tlle pretext of placing them in security, were
included several ladies, who had at any former
time manifested an attachment to the Constitu-
tional system. Most of them have sinse undergone
the form of a trial, principally, as is clear, with
the view of extorting money from them, and they
have been subjected to the following sentences :
Donna Francisca de Camarasa to be exiled to
Zamora, accompanied by an officer of justice,
whom she is ordered to support on the journey
by a daily allowance of about two dollars.—The
mother of the preceding, a lad. of very advanced
age, tined 20 ounces of gold.—Donna Josepha
