presented to Senhor ISTURITZ a formal protest
against the marriage. M. SALAMANca, who
*as absefit from the Chamber of Deputies when the
vote was taken on the Subjtet of granting to the
Ministers the authorisation to levy taxes, asked that
his name might be added to that of the opponents of
the Bill. The revised tariff will be presented to the
Cortes early in the ensuing session.

the Five per Cents. at 22 5-16; the Debt without interest,
at 64 ; and the Coupons, at 204.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The Duke DE MONTPENSIER and the Duke
D'AUMALE left Paris for Madrid on Monday morning,
by railroad for Tours, from whence they would pro-
ceed without delay to Bordeaux, which they would
reach on Tuesday morning, and proceed to Bayonne
the same day. On the Ist October they are to leave
Bayonne, enter Spain at Irun, and proceed, by way
of Tolosa, Vittoria, Burgos, and Segovia, to Madrid,
where they will arrive on the sth.
The Journal des Debats of Monday still main-
tains that no protest had been presented to M.
GUIZOT by Lord NORMANDY against the Montpensier

marriage.
" The British Minister of Foreign Affairs," it says,
" has sent to the British Ambassador at Paris a
dispatch, with instructions for its being read and
a copy left with the French Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and that dispatch manifested the dissent of
the English Government in the most amicable terms.
" We think it right to repeat, that in spite of all
the rumours to the contrary, the two marriages will
be celebrated at the period which has been desig-
nated, and we persist in thinking and saying that
the differences to which this resolution may have
given rise, however much they may be to be re-
gretted, are not of a nature to compromise the pacific
relations between the three Governments."

The same paper states up to the 224 no protest had
been presented at Madrid. This is so far correct, because
it was on the 2fid thatlAr.B-cm-vras, sent aprotest, in the
name of his Government, against the Montpensier
marriage. "Finding that neither the counsels, the
interests, the wishes, nor the friendly feelings of
England were in the slightest degree regarded or
taken into consideration, Mr. BULWER was compelled
to present, as a last measure, a formal protest."
At a Cabinet Council held on Sunday, the reply to
the memorandum of Lord PALMERSTON was agreed
upon. M. GunoT was charged with drawing it up
in conciliatory and measured terms, and with transmit-
ting it to the Count DE JARNAC, to be by.him delivered
to Lord PALMERSTON.

The French. Carlists declare that the Count DE
MONTEMOLIN is in Navarre, having entered Spain
disguised as a priest by the bridge of Behobia.
_

The strictest surveillance is maintained over all the
Spanish refugees, Carlist as well as Progressista.
General PRIM has been honoured by a domi-
ciliary visit. General BODIL and Senhor DE
SANTA Cuz, the latter a former aide-de-camp
of ESPARTERO, are watched constantly at Bor-
deaux, from which place, however, notwithstand-
ing the vigilance of the police General SEOANE has
succeeded in effecting his escape, and has entered
Spain.

The price of wheat was rising in all the towns of
France, and all that was brought into the market was
immediately bought up.
Marshal BUGEAUD has been ordered to proceed
immediately to Algiers, to watch the movements of
ABD-EL-KADER in Morocco.

The Presse announces that the French squadron
was not to quit the Mediterranean. It was to be
formed into two divisions, one of which, commanded
by the Prince DE JoINvILLE, was to sail for the coast
of Spain.

melting state of the atmosphere shall give place to
autumnal freshness.
The state of our money market is, if not easy, at least
tranquil. There is a large amount of capital waiting
the chance of continued war or speedy peace. At pre-
sent United States Six per Cent. Stocks can be sold at ,
from 194 to 105 per cent., yet contracts for the delivery
of this stock at a future period, of from six to twelve
months, at 102, at the option of the seller are making.
This indicates the general persuasion, that if the war
be continued, the Government would come info the
market for a considerable loan, which would of coufgP
have a tendency to depress the present price of United
States Stocks. On the other hand, should the prospect
of speedy peace be increased, stocks would rise. But in
any event it seems the general opinion that the Govern-
ment will need more money than it yet has raised.
There can be no new loan, however, without authority
of Congress, unless indeed—which does not seem pro-
bable—the Secretary of the Treasury, instead of issuing
in Treasury notes, the whole amount authorised to be
borrowed by the Act of July last, shall resort to a loan
for a part thereof. The convenience of the Treasury
notes, however, is so great and within a reasonable
amount, their currency at par is so certain, that it is not
probable any loan will be attempted.
A considerable amount of these notes have made their
appearance here, within a few days from New Orleans,
where, owing to some demur on the part of the collector
to receive them in payment for duties to the United
States—as upon the face of the notes themselves they
are made receivable—they fell to a discount of from 2
to 4 per cent. ; they were eagerly bought at that for a
remittance to the north ; and as they are received here,
as indeed they are now at New Orleans, by the Custom-
house, they are at par.
The Cotton crop of this year, it is quite safe to say,
is of less promise than that of the last, which fell short
of that of the preceding year about 352,000 bales.
It is, however, too early in the season to speak posi-
tively, or even approximatively, of the yield of the
growing crop ; but there are some facts that are cer-
tain—first, that the season is unusually backward, so
that, according to the New Orleans Pride Current of
the sth instant, only 140 bales of the growth of the pre-
sent year had been received there at that date, against
6,846 bales last year, and 5,720 of the year previous, at
the same period ; secondly, the caterpillar and army
worm had made their appearance in extensive
districts ; and although the ravages of the for-
mer had in part been checke4 by heavy rains, which
beat them to the ground and washed them off in the
floods, considerable mischief was done. Yet, with all
these drawbacks, if the picking season shall be favour-
able
and killing frosts late, an average crop may be ga-
thered. As to prices, there can buiaii any
regular market at the present time. The accounts by
the Britannia were depressing, and their influence is
still felt.
We have already spoken of the abundance of the
present harvests. The estimates, made with some care
by the Bureau at Washington charged with collecting
such statistics, present these results for the crops of
1845—which those of the present year will, it is on all
hands admitted, exceed:—
Wheat, 1061 mil. bushels ; Oats, 1631 mil.; Rye, 27
mil.; Barley, 5 1-6 mil.; Buck Wheat, 10+ mil.; Indian
Corn, 4171 mil.
The estimated population at present of these United
States is about 20,000,000, and they cannot consume by
many tens of millions the bread stuffs they produce.
There is a large surplus, and it will be annually larger,
for other lands ; and now that the permanent policy of
Great Britain is declared to be the free importation of
corn, there will be an increased quantity raised for the
chance of that market, on our inexhaustible soil, and at
diminished prices.
Exchanges on Europe are well sustained. The prices
on London are from 9+ to 9i ; on Paris, 5,271 to 30t.
Amsterdam, 39+ to 391 ; Hamburgh, 35+ to 36i ; Bre-
men, 781 to 79.
The Stock Market was rather heavy this morning, and
prices had a downward tendency.
Exchange steady at our quotations.
Cotton—There has been a little more activity in the
market, and prices are a little firmer.
Flour—Western Canal is in good demand at 4 del.
68+ a 4 dol. 75; Common Southern 4 del. 50 a 4 dol. 75.
Ashes firm and in good demand.
Mr. Bancroft, who has been compelled to retire
from the navy in consequence of ill health, has been
appointed Minister to England, in the room of Mr.
M'Lane, returned from the United States.
The New York Sun contains an account of a seri-
ous riot among the Irish volunteers. The following
is the news alluded to :

WASHINGTON, MONDAY NIGHT.—The steamship
M'Kim, Capt. Page, arrived on the sth instant at New
Orleans, from Brazos Santiago, which place she left on
the 2d instant. She brought several sick volunteers and
some discharge d soldiers. Colonel Hays, with his
rangers, had been heard from. They had scoured the
country and returned to Camargo, without doing
anything of note. Most of the army remained
at Camargo. A great riot among a company of
Irish volunteers, and some others, took place on
the night of the 31st, at an encampment opposite
Burita. Guns were fired, and fifteen or twenty men
are reported to have been killed or wounded. Besides
the killed or wounded seen or shown, eight or ten are
said to have been pushed from a steam-boat (lying by
the shore) overboard, and were drowned. The Colonel
of the Georgia regiment gallantly attempted, with
sword and pistols in hand, to quell the riot. Ile shot
down one man and wounded several others.
Colonel Baker, of the: 4th Regiment Illinois Volun-
teers, repaired to the scene, and ordered two of his com-
panies, A and C, to assist in quelling the fight, and went
in person with twenty chosen men to the steam-boat.
Ile commanded peace as soon as he got on board, but
was attacked by the rioters and had a desperate con-
flict, in which he defended himself bravely for some
time against swords, bayonets, and shot, but was finally
shot in the neck ; the ball entered behind, passing out
through his cheek or mouth.
Of the twenty men who accompanied Colonel Baker
eight were wounded, six with bayonets and two with
balls. On the arrival of companies A and G, Captain
Roberts, of the former, ordered his men to charge on
board, and led them to the steps, where he received a
severe wound from a bayonet, which entered near the
shoulder blade and passed through his back. The boat
was so well defended by the rioters, that the Illinoisians
had to retreat, not having cartridges with them. Am-
munition was soon furnished them, however, and on
again approaching the boat everything was quiet. No
one of the Illinois volunteers was killed, and it was
thought next morning that Baker and Roberts would
recover of their wounds. It was feared two privates in
company C were mortally wounded.
The rioters were finally subdued, forced to surrender
their arms, and placed under a strong guard, preparatory
to trial by court martial.
Alexander J. Seahorn, Illinois Troops, Company A,
died on board the M'Kim. Several others on the same
vessel were nearly dead.
Forty miles above Reynosa, on the 21st August, the
steamboat Enterprise burst her boiler and blew up; five
persons were killed instantly and several wounded.
Killed—Enoch Tucker; A. Boanell, of Tennessee; Mr.
Soaps, of Texas; Thomas Ganfrey, of New York; a cook
and a stranger, names unknown.
Badly wounded—Lieutenant Dearing, of Louisville
Legion; Wm. A. Crook, and C. B. Crook, Tennessee;
Captain Woods, William Grey, Jacob Bouridge, and
Thomas Eagle, of Texas; J. C. Howard, Sutler, of Bal-
timore; Joseph Gregsby and Mr. Ileckery, Sutlers, of
Louisville Legions; Talor, the Pilot; Thomas Hemper,
Samuel Martin, Patrick Kelley, Frank and Pallacot,
deck hands, and J. E. Crank, the mate. Thirteen slightly
wounded. On the 28th ult., Lieut. Dearing was out of
danger. Patrick Kelly was out of his senses, and would
probably die.
The First Brigade from Camargo left on the 19th, in
the direction of Monterey, under Gen. Worth. Three
steamboats arrived at Camargo 21st ult., with M. M. 0.
Butler, Gen. Shields, and several Colonels and Majors.
Col. Harney marched from San Antonio (Texas) 23d,
with 120 United States Dragoons, 500 mounted Texians,
and 18 Delawares, for Monclavo, Mexico. This asto-
nished Gen. Taylor. who does not like liarney's moving
in advance of Wool.
Gen. Twiggs, with 2d Dragoons, Light Artillery, and
the batteries of Captains Taylor and Ridgley, arrived at
Camargo, Aug. 22.
The Ist and 2d Regiments of the Ohio Volunteers,
6 companies of Louisville Legion and the Baltimore
battalion arrived at Camargo on the 22d. They suf-
fered much for the want of water, but stood the fatigues
of the march pretty well. One of them died on the way
np from Matamoras. General Worth established his
first depot at Seralvo. Ile will then go on and establish
another half-way between that place and Monterey.
The steamer Rough and Ready arrived at Camargo
with Colonel Croghan, Inspector-General, and other
officers on board.
The news of the revolution in Santa Anna's favour
reached General Taylor's camp on the 27th, and created
a great sensation. No one knew what to think of it..
A letter dated Camargo, 20th ult., says General
Taylor would leave Sept. 5, for Monterey.

SWEARING IN OF THE NEW SHERIFFS AT WEST-
MINSTER.—This being the day appointed for the swear-
ing in of the new sheriffs (Mr. Alderman Challis and
Mr. Kennard), at the Court of Exchequer, at West-
minster, the two Sheriffs, with their respective com-
panies, and the various civic authorities, proceeded in
state from Guildhall to Blackfriars-bridge, embarked on
board the City barges, and were conveyed to West-
minster. They then proceeded to the Exchequer Court,
and, after the usual formalities, were sworn into office.
In the evening the whole of the company will partake of
a sumptuous entertainment given by the Sheriffs.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS.)
Patrick Read, aged 50, was indicted for stealing
131bs. of lead and a quantity of gas-fittings, the pro-
perty of Charles Hooker. The prisoner was employed
as a plumber in a house in Marylebone-lane, and sold
the property in question at a marine store shop. On its
being exposed for sale the prosecutor recognised it, and
the marine store dealer identified the prisoner as the
man of whom he made the purchase. Several witnesses
were called, all of whom gave him an excellent charac-
ter, having known him for many years. He was found
Guilty, and en account of his former good character
sentenced to only one month's imprisonment.
Martha Howard, for stealing 81bs. weight of mutton
from a butcher's shop, was sentenced to six weeks' im-
prisonment.
