The English Securities have to-day been a little firmer,
but the transactions, whether for money or time, have been
very limited in extent. Console arc 067,4 to «9 fbr present
transfer, and 96% for atenUtit. On Exchequer-bills the
premium has been 275. and is new 245. Bank Stoek for ac-
c,,unt has declined to 21114 and 211. East India Stock has
improved a little, being 259 to 261.
The Foreign Bonds are not very lively, but they hare been
steady in value. Sosinish Five per Cents realise 25% %,
and the Three per Cents. 36% to 37. Mexican Deferred are
16%. Brasil Stock is worth 13.1., and Buenos Ayres 38%.
Dutch Four per Cents. have realised 944.
Shares are on the whole, much the same as yesterday,
there being no symptoms of improvement. The French lines
are much better supported than the others.

Accounts from Madrid state that a stormy discussion took
place in the Chamber of Deputies on the 16th. The House
WAS crowded to excess. It was known that the PnEstprgr
was to be questioned for having summoned the Chamber,
and also that an explanation would be given by MIRAFLORIS
respecting the Ministerial crisis. Senor EGANa, who has
been appointed Minister of Grace and Justice, first rose, and
declared that the conduct of the PRESIDENT in convening the
Chamber was unconstitutional. General Psair.ZUNI.A, the
new Miaister of Marine, after vainly attempting to speak
during the confusion, was about to leave the Chamber, when
he was ordered by the PRESIDENT to be stopped. It was
then moved that the Chamber should approve of the
conduct of its PRIESIDRYT, and the motion was
adopted by a inajority of 111 to 41. Senor
Romano then questioned the ex-Ministers respecting the
rumours of a Ministerial crisis, when the Marquis DE
MIRAFLOZE3 replied that there was no crisis for three
reasons:—First, that the Ministry had the confidence of the
Qt EEN; secondly, that the Cabinet was united; thirlly, it
had the support of the Chambers. "And with a representa-
tive Government so situated there cannot be a crisis," said
the Marquis. After some propositions, which had no results,
the sitting was adjourned until the next day.
- It would thus appear that lIIIILATI.ORES and his colleagues
were not aware that they had been supplanted, and that
NAILVAEZ had a list of their successors duly prepared.
The Funds kad improved. On the 16th the Three per
Cents. closed at 291,E for cash, and 29 3-16 for the 30th of
April; and the Five per Cents. at 21% for the lathe date.

The Paris papers of Sunday contain no news in addition to
those published in The Sun yesterday. The attack made
by M. ODLLoN 11.trtnyr on the GoVernment for +Resolving
the National Gunds of certain large towns, such as
Lyons and Metz, had excited a warm discussion in
the Chamber, but it led to no immediate result.
The Opposition, however, were reaolved not to let the
matter rest thus, and M. Lie/toms moved " that the
Ministry should be compelled to render,, in the beginning of
the next session, an account of the execution of the law of
March, 1831." The Ministry accepted the challenge, and
the debate on the motion vas fixed for Monday. There is
no fresh intelligence in these papers from Poland.
On Sunday the French Three per Cerra+. were done in the
passages of the Opera at 84f. 37%c.

THE Innws Matt..s.—The French mail packet Egyptus,
tom Alexandria, arrived at Malta on the 17th instant, re-
ports having seen several rockets fired on Monday, at seventy
miles distance from this island. She rendered no assistance':
The Admiral, supposing this may have been the Virago,
with the Indian mails on board, has sent out the Volcano
steamer to look for her and give aseietanu. So that the
mails may not be expected for a day or two.

Sir Robert Peel and the Cabinet Ministers have ac-
cepted an invitation to dine with the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-
house, the let of April. The guests are invited to bring their ladies.

THE ItouEnTsus ON THEIR TRAVELS.--TO MU:lrate
the class of persons from whom foreigners frequently tahe
their notion i,f the English character, Mrs. Trollope, in her
new novel, sets a vulgar tine farni.y of the middle cla,a; on a
continental tour, with small means, yet a desire to cut a
dash and to get into society above their station. The subject
is well adapted to Mrs. Trollope's pen. She has immortalised
herself by her Burnaby ; and Mrs. Roberts is, with slight
variation, Bareaby on the continent. The course of her ad-
ventures exhibits :so much of the roguery of every-day life,
that it is sure to amuse. If critics were as precise as natu-
ralists, they would place "The Robertses on their Travels"
the same genus as " Gil Blas."—Br:tannia.

RELIGION OF TILE SElEll9.—Th7gellat religion does
not boast of a very high antiquity. Previous to the close of
the fifteenth century, the whole of the people inhabiting the
Punjaub were either the followers of Hindooism, devoutly
beli!ving in the mythology which, to the present moment,
is held in reverence by the millions spread over British India,
or disciples of Mahome I from conviction, or the proselyting
influence of Persian and Affghan cenquerers. But in the
eat ly part of the sixteenth century arose a religious teacher,
Nanacia Shah, the son of a salt-merchant, who, becoming a
faquir, practised great austerity, and parted with all his
property to the poor. The result was a very.extensive con-
version of his countrymen from the Brahminical and Mahe-
medan religions to a belief in pure Deism. The new disciples of
Nanach called themselves Seikhs—a term derived front the
Sanscra, and applicable to the followers of any particular
teacher. It has remained with the people to this moment.
QUEEN l'ousnE.—Some few years since her Ma-
jesty Queen Victoria presented a very handsome carriage to
the unfortunate Queen Pomare. The Polynesian, a weekly
journal, published at Honolulu, the capital of the Sandwich
Islands, in its impression for the Bth of November last, con-
tains the following announoement in reference to the royal
equipage :—" Rhodes and Co. offer for sale the carriage of
Queen Pomare, of Tahiti, built in England. It is a well-
constructed article, light and capacious, and well suited for
a family carriage. Two sets of harness accompanying it."
The editor of the Pclynesiava says, in relation to the above,
" It will be seen that Rhodes and Co. offer for sale the car-
riage .of this truly unfortunate, though meritorious woman.
It was a present from her sister, Queen Victoria, and is now
offered for sale in order to supply the royal dame with the
means of existence. She is said to be in very straitened
circumstances, being entirely without revenues or other
means than the charity of her friends afford. It is to be
hoped that some generous friend will come forward and pay
a fair price for this relic of a distressed yet heroic Queen,
whose fame and sufferings have made her for ever known to
the American and European public."
THREE CHILDREN RUN OVF:R.-0a Saturday after-
noon an accident occurred in the Strand, which had nearly
involved the lives of three boys. As Dr. Edlington, of
Guildford-street, Russell•square, was proceeding in Ws car-
riage along the Strand, and had just turned into Craven-
street, where the little fellows were running in the road, the
horses came so quickly upon them, that before they could
manage to retreat, they were knocked down and severely
trampled upon, and had it not been for the dexterity of the
driver, the wheels must inevitably have passed over them.
Assisted by a police-constable, the worthy doctor placed
them in the carriage, and at once conveyed them to Charing-
cross Hospital, where they were put to bed and properly at-
tended to by Mr. Wesley, the house surgeon. It is no more
than justice to add, that no blame whatever is attributable
to the servant.

The Right Hon. the Speaker of thtb House of Com-
mons had a Parliamentary dinner on Saturday last, at the
Right lion. Gentleman's house in Eaton-square, when the
following noblemen and gentlemen constituted the circle :
