is destined to succeed Lord Auckland as Governor-
General of India.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, 3IONDAY EVENING.
_ _

All attention in the City, and, we wave no doubt as soon
as it becomes known, will be throughout the country,
is directed to the panic in the S'zock Exchange, which,
late on. Saturday, and still more. so to-day, has assumed
what, to:a .coual or uninitiatca observer, would naturally
appear a very alarming aspect. We should feel:thankful
if it were our good-fortitne—terrelieve in some measura
the apprehensions of the WI liO, especially of those hav-
ing deposits in BritishSecuri,,ies, And we would warn and
counsel everyman who reads The Sun, and has such
property at stake (not time, bargainers) to hold it firmly,
and not take affright, - T.he panic that exists has, or
should have, hut little to 'Jo with the fundholders at large.
It is a desperate strugp,le between the speculators for
a rise, and those fo a fall, and if the latter suc-
ceed, as the nutner:ous failures or embarrassments
may perhaps enable them to do, prices will go down.
This may last for a tF:me, but cannot ultimately affect the
intrinsic value of tho Stock to the bona fide holder, who
can keep it till mat4.ers wear a smoother aspect. It is
always unwise to sell during a panic. This will be a
heavy week in the Stock Markets, no doubt, but the divi-
dends payable T vill assist. The decline to-day again,
taking the extre.ne price, was full I per cent., or 1 per
cent., since Saturday morning. Before the close of busi-
ness, however, prices rallied ato per cent. The open-
ing price of Cionsols was 88 to 1 ; the lowest, 871 for
Money, and 87t. for Account ; and the closing quota-
tions 874 to both for present transfer and Thursday
next. The Scrip, of the new Stock was done as low as
It discoun t. Exche(per Bills receded to 14s. and lls.
prem. ; East India Bonds to 3s. prem. and par ; and the
New Th ree-and-a-Half per Cents. to 97-a and 96:1 ; Bank
Stock ci.ropped from 166 to 16.31 ; the Reduced Three
per Ce nts. were marked 87 to 86} ; the Reduced Three-
and-a -Half per Cents., 96/ to 951 ; and India Stock was
at 245.

The panic in the Foreign Market was nearly, if not
quite as severe as that in our own Funds. Spanish
Bonds, owing to the bad news, declined from 19 to 174,
but rallied and closed at 18t1 to 1. Mexican Stock was
at one time at 224, but closed at 244 ; Portuguese New
Five per Cents. were down to 29 and 294 ; Colombian
Bonds were depressed to I'3 and 191, and Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. to 5c 4. -
For Shares there was very little 'demand, and prices
did not experience the same fluctuation as those of
Stocks. Brighton ranged from 104 to 91 discount. ;
Great Western were 10:; the New, 4 to 34 ; South
Western, 124 to 124 ; and York and North Midland,
27 premium.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
We regret to state that the unfavourable news
received from Spain this morning has thrown
the Stock Exchange, and, indeed, the whole
Money Market, into a state of great alarm
and confusion: The Funds have fallen
about two per cent., since the closing
prices of Saturday, and two . defaulters,
to a considerable amount, it is feared, have.
been declared. The conduct of the King of the
:FRENCH is regarded with just alarm. He
has harboured Queen CHRISTINA, the prime
mover of the insurrection, in one of the
Royal Palaces. General O'DoNNELL. left France
for Spain with- lirge sums of money_ to
commence the revolt of the troops. The
French Army and Navy are kept up in
great force, and fears are entertained that
an insidious, and afterwards an open, attack
is intended against that unfortunate and dis-
tracted country. We still hope 'better things of
LOUIS PHILIPPE, hut appearances are very
ominous, and we are, therefore, n9t at all sur-
prized at the panic which prevails in the City.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 9.—The Cot-
ton Market to-day has been without change. The sales
comprise 3,000 bales all to the trade.
LIVERPOOL SIIARE MARKET, OCT. 9.—The trans-
actions at the Stock Exchange this day have been very
limited ; they are reported as follow :—Eastern Coun-
ties Debentures, 74 ; Great Western, 201. Shares, ;
Paris and Rouen, 84 ; Liverpool Fire and Life Insurance
Company, 48s. 6d.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT 9.—There is
no material alteration in our market to-day ; prices re-
main steady :—Manchester and Leeds, Half Shares,
234 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 214 ; London and
South Western, 504 514 ; London and Birmingham,
New Thirds, 23 234 ; Bank of Manchester, 5; Manches-
ter and Liverpool District Bank, 10; Manchester Assu-
rance, 94.
Her Majesty's packet Alert has arrived at Falmouth,
with a mail from Mexico. She left. Vera Cruz on Sept. 2,
Havannab 17, and has brought over 350,000 dollars on
merchants' account.
Papers from Rio de Janeiro to the 20th August have
been received, at which time the Exchange on England
was at 304 31, and the Six per Cent. Local Stock 704.
A complete panic has come over the Stock Exchange
since Saturday morning, and a very serious decline has
taken place both in the English and Foreign Securities,
full one per cent. fall having taken place in Consols ;
they opened at 884 4.
The news received from Spain this morning has had a
very serious effect upon Spanish Stock ; the Active has
fallen 2 per cent. since the opening ; in short, the house I
is in such a state that it is impossible to quote a price at
present. A highly respectable member of the house,
and a jobber to a large extei:t, has just been declared a
defaulter.
