highest stations. M. BRESSON, in order to prevent
an explosion, went to Queen CHRISTINA, and recom-
mended her to make a visit to France ; but he was
obliged, it is said, to urge many strenuous arguments
before he could prevail upon her to accede to his ad-
vice." This confirms the reports which have been
circulated in Madrid on the subject of the intrigues
and counter-intrigues of CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ.
The ratifications of the treaty of commerce and
navigation, lately concluded between France and
Russia, were exchanged in Paris on Monday. On
this occasion the Emperor of RUSSIA has conferred
the Grand Cordon of the Order of St. Alexander
Nev‘ sky on the Baron DE BARANTE, French Ambas-
sador at St. Petersburgh, and the KING of the FRENCH
has presented the Star of Grand Officer of the Legion
of Honour to M. DE KISSELEFE, the Russian Charge
d'Affaires at Paris.

On the proposition of the Prefects of the Seine and
the Police, the municipal council has voted a credit
of 300,000 f. for supplying the indigent and the dis-
tressed workmen of Paris with bread at 60c. for the
41b. loaf, first quality, should it at any time rise above
that price.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the sales
were 5,000 bales, making 32,210 for the week. Prices
have been steady. The stock is 551,000 bales against
915,500 at this time last year. The Share Market has
been steady again.
The return of Mr. Hood, the British Envoy, to Buenos
Ayres, and the unfavourable news which arrives simul-
taneously, viz., that his Excellency has failed in his efforts
to bring about a peace between that state and Monte
Video, has confirmed the tenour of previous advices, and
made it once more apparent that 'ltosas is a most im-
practicable enemy, with whom either a " little"
war, or an attempted negotiation, are not
likely to have much weight. There can
be no doubt but that Mr. Hood has well acquitted him-
self of his task, nor can we disguise our impression
that Monte Video is partly to blame for his failure.
At Rio, on the 22d of September, the exchange was
27d., and the alteration of the sugar duties here was
expected to give some impulse to the trade of Brazil.
In the Bank of E gland return, the main points for
the week to the 7th instant, are these :

Notes issued ... £28,235,885
Decrease ... 74,010
Notes reserved ... 7,264,620
Increase ... ... 330,500
Bullion 14,760,506
Decrease ... 47,573
Public deposits, increase 806,606
Other deposits, decrease ... ... 480,112
Seven day and other bills, increase 2.595

Other securities, decrease ... 22,950
The circulation and bullion are, therefore, again lower.
The Funds are flatter to-day, but with very little
business doing. The accounts from Portugal still excite
uneasiness, because the result of the civil war is yet un-
certain, while, it we look to the welfare of that country,
the contest itself must be highly serious however it may
terminate. French influence here again is suspected to
be actively at work. Consols have been 94i- 1- for next
Tuesday, and 941 for the Account; Exchequer•bills
are but 10s. to 13s. prem. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. realise 951 4.
The Foreign Bonds have been affected by the heavi-
ness of the English market. Spanish Five per Cents.
have realised 26 to 2611, and the Three per Cents. 371 to
3714. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been marked 37
to 38, a decline of about 1 per cent. Mexican arc 22 to
224. French Three per Cents. are 82.25, with the
exchange at 25.70.

The Share Maikot looks well upon the whole, and
some lines are better, including Shrewsbury and Bir-
mingham, North British, York, and Newcastle, &c.
Birmingham and Oxford are quiet, and Northern of
France lower.

ERRA.TUM.—In our City article of yesterday, Consols for
the Account were quoted at 94% and at 95% the last price
should have been 94%.

IV ESTAHNSTER. ABBEY SPIRE, AND OTHER IM-
PROVEMENTS.—We do hope that Dr. Buckland, who is,
very properly, ever ready with suggestions for the re-
storation and amendment of other buildings, will now
look at home, and lend his aid, as Dean of Westmin-
ster, to improve the Abbey church. Let him get rid
of some of the monstrous specimens of bad atone-ma-
sonry which now disfigure and injure it, giving parts of
it the appearance of a statuary's show shop rather than
that of a Christian temple. The ancient monuments
should be carefully looked to and maintained,
and Henry Seventh's Chapel, both inside anti outside,
requires immediate attention. As regards the construc-
tion of: the spire, we ought to be grateful that Wren,
great artist as he was in other respects, was not com-
missioned to eflL:et it ; nod alitiot etpuilly so .io ci
of James Wyatt, who in laver times ids;, roli,,rreti upon
it. Thre would i)e touch lees chtiywo (it the renioval of
an incongruou,, ni,figurk meat. such ns wood cer;ii',lily

have been placed thei;, than there is now of a spire being
commenced. We would gladly contribute to remedy the
mischief Wren did at the west end.-•.l7we Builder.
