dimensions. Travellers have attested this ; Lord
DEVON'S Commission has avouched it with the most
solemn and oppressive distinctness. The fact requires
no demonstration ; it is admitted by persons enter-
taining every variety of political and ecclesiastical
opinion. The wretchedness of the Irish peasantry is
so universally acknowledged that it is employed
now- a-days as the illustration of the most direful speci-
mens of individual destitution. Knowing, therefore,
the habitual and prevalent poverty of these unhappy
beings, we can entertain some adequate conception of
the utter and grinding want of which such a visitation
as that of the destruction of the potato crop must be
productive. We must recognise that not merely
must the labourer himself be deprived of the little
food, which had previously nourished himself and
those dependent upon him for their subsistence--but
that he necessarily loses the employment which had
originally brought him a few shillings per week,
namely, the digging of the potato-fields, the carting
of their produce, and other incidental labours. Be-
sides being thus denied his annual stock of vegetables
and his weekly pittance, the pig, ordinarily fattened
for the payment of his rent, becomes too costly an
appurtenance to his household ; and the Irishman is
thus plunged into immediate difficulties, with a pros-
pect of a still more irreparable embarrassment.
Such calculations of the miseries at present rife in
Ireland are corroborated by every successive packet.
the famished labourers are congregating together
upon the hills in a state of mind closely bordering on
desperation. The different boards of guardians are
giving evidence, by an unwonted alacrity in their
movements, that something of a preventative character
must be done, and that immediately, or otherwise the
patience of the sufferers will be altogether vanquished
by the pangs of hunger, and disturbances increase

political affairs—who could hope to exact from sucl
a man a blind obedience to his lordly will and plea-
sure, would hardly be disposed to respect the opinions
and the desires of his tenantry. Manliness of cha-
racter has ever been considered the characteristic of
English yeomen, and any attempt to coerce by
unfair means the honest expression of opinion,
to reduce to a state of villeinage and serfdom an in-
dependent tenantry will, most undoubtedly, provoke
the opposition it is intended to suppress. We cat
scarcely suppose that his Grace would venture to
carry into effect the threats he has uttered, that
the notices to quit which it is stated have been alread3
served, in anticipation of, and preparation for, tht
general election which must shortly take place, will
ever be acted on. We must emphatically warn his
Grace, as we have repeatedly warned the Irish land-
lords, " that property has its duties as well as its
rights ;" and that any attempt to exceed the fair ano
legitimate exercise of those rights, is sure to la
visited with a full and ample measure of retributive
justice. The walls of the Senate House have rung
with the indignant eloquence of those who have re-
probated and exposed the vile system of clear-
ing estates, no matter what might be the ex-
citing cause. The public press throughout
the nation has, with scarcely an exception, advocated
the cause of the expelled tenantry, and has directed
the public opinion of the country to a just feeling of in-
dignation against their heartless oppressors. The entire
landlord and tenant code, which appeared to have been
framed with a sole view to the benefit of the first-
named class, has in the sister country been subjected
to revision, and close attention to its details and valu-
able and extensive alterations and reforms have been
suggested for the purpose of annulling the objection.
able parts, and at last placing the occupiers and culti-
vators of the soil in the enjoyment of their just rights
and privileges. The Ulster ;oht has become
known to the nation at large, the popular
voice has demanded its extension throughout
the remainder of Ireland, and there is little doubt but
that if British landlords abuse their power and
privileges, that they will, in I.ke manner, be
subjected to control, and that they will be
deprived of rights the exercise of which can
no longer be safely entrusted to them. We
should be sorry that any indiscreet or intemFerate
conduct should demand a change in the social rela-
tions between landlord and tenant in England. We
are satisfied that the cultivation of kindly feelings,
of mutual regard and confidence is of the utmost
value to both parties. The landlord who treats his
tenantry well, who comforts and assists them, and
discharges properly the duties of his situation, will
deservedly attain great influence. Many of the occu-
piers will from love yield that which they would
never give from a baser motive ; but there is a limit
which must not be passed, a boundary line which
must not be crossed. We sincerely hope that such a
trespass =ay not be attempted ; but, should it un-
fortunately be the case, it will be the duty of honest
journalists to denounce the transgressors, to submit
their conduct to the ordeal of public opinion, and, if
necessary, to call upon the nation, by the peaceful but
irresistible force of argument and reason, to demand
the abolition of the objectionable and abused powers

France on the subject of the mariage. "On the
:30th of August," says the Hera o, " the news of
this projected alliance was receivedtt Paris by a tele-
graphic dispatch. The dispatch sent.ff by King Louis
PulmarrE's Government to his Anbassador at Ma-

Arid, ratifying the treaty of alliano, was forwarded
from Paris on the 4th of Septeinbei Five days have
r.herefore elapsed between the tv% communications,
which is sufficient time for the echanging of notes
between the Erglish and Trench Cabinets."
" Hence," concludes the Beraldo," the KING having
ratified the proposed union, the logial consequence to
be drawn is, that the two greatest Cwinets of Europe
are not divided upon this affdir." A conclusion
jumped at rather than drawn—not /arranted by the
premises, and proving that M. le Comte BRESSON,
i'rom whose inspiration the Herald() peaks, is by no
means so sanguine on the subject of tle success of this
his pet intrigue, as he would fain nake the world
believe he is.

There were rumours in Madrid o' a Carlist rising
in Catalonia, rumours which the Fleraldo seems at
particular pains to discredit, althoigh the warning
contained in the French Government paper,
L' Epoque, of the same day, woulC seem to confirm
their truth. "We warn the Spanish Carlists," says
L'Epopte, speaking evidently as tie official organ of
M. GUIZOT, " we warn the Spanish Carlists that we
are fully aware of their having held sundry meetings
in Paris in the last week, and of CABRERA. having
been questioned, consulted, and excited."

We have received the French papers of Monday.
The Constitutionnel prints the following paiagraph
in large type :
" Is is affirmed that the Duke de Montpensier's de-
pari,u,u Eva 1a..5.-ta i,„„,,
trig of a Cabinet Council."
This report would seem to be corroborated by the
circumstance that the Ministerial prints all cautiously
abstain from fixing any day for the Duke's departure,
and by the fact that the Marquis DESCAZES arrived
on Saturday in Paris from Madrid, bringing
with him dispatches for the Minister of Foreign
Affairs.

the miseries of the various districts. Petitions are
already flocking in upon Lord BESBOROUGU, implor-
ing his Lordship to avail himself of the prerovatives
and powers committed to his discretion in behalf of

he afflicted multitude. At Killarney a large meeting

was convened under the direction of the Earl of KEN:
MARE, at which meeting a considerable number of local
magistrates and gentlemen were present. So urgent
did the necessities of the population of the adjacent
barony of Magonihy appear, that those individuals
were hurriedly assembled together for the purpose of
inquiring what measures of alleviation were most
advisable. Not the least emphatic evidence of the
wide extension of the potato murrain and of the ab-
solute necessity thereby entailed upon the Legisla-
ture of an active endeavour to supply the deficiency,
is that simple, but significant resolution, passed in
a meeting of gentlemen and ratepayers in the town
of Dells, county of Meath. Here it is, and surely
it requires no comment or elaboration :

The Opposition journals still continue to denounce
the MONTPENSIER marriage as one which, however
advantageous it may be to the family of ORLEANS
personally, cannot but be disadvantageous to French
national interests. " Whom," asks the National,
"can the Government expect to delude by represent-
ing this marriage advantageous to our country ? Let
the dynasty exult upon it, but let a single instance be
cited of France having derived benefit from all her
unions of Princes ? If, indeed, the people of Spain had
shown satisfaction at what was preparing, if it had
.seen in it a testimony of respect for its independence,
a pledge for a sincere and durable alliance between
two nations working in concert to secure the triumph
of those great principles of liberty and equality which
are now sown on all those lands on which the plough-
share of revolution has traced the furrows ! But if we
except the officials of Madrid, all parties are protesting
all the citizens are irritated, and, instead of drawing'
clo-er to us, Spain is separating herself from us, and,
turning her eyes towards England ; she considers this
marriage to be an act of violence, as the precursor of
new troubles, new civil wars; the citizens protest
publicly against it, they address petitions to the
QUEEN, in which France is reviled; they see approach-
ing, as the sponsor of these fatal names, the bloody
sabre of NARVAEZ ; and, even here, the Court journal
declares that this union will have the effect of con-
solidating atMadrid the detestable regime which was
introduced there by fraud and force."

" Resolved—That the Act 10th Victoria, chap. 107,
having contemplated only an apprehended failure of a
' portion of the potato crop of the present season in Ire-
land,' does not afford an adequate or suitable remedy
for the loss of the whole crop."
Such are the opinions of the more intelligent and
affluent inhabitants of Ireland with respect to the
exigencies of the present emergency. The next dan-
ger to be apprehended is that the starving peasants
should themselves be impressed with a similar con-
viction. Greater calamities would inevitably result
therefrom. The Irish sufferers would immediately
regard the Government and local authorities as equally
apathetic, and insubordination would be the imme-
diate consequence. This, we maintain, must be
seriously apprehended, unless some strenuous exer-
tions be made by the landlords. Often as we have
repeated this before, we shall never tire of insisting
upon those exigencies upon the acknowledgment of
which the happiness and the lives of so many thou-
sands are dependent.

Accounts from Rome state that the POPE is devot-
ing his attention to the settlement of the diplomatic
relations of the Court of Rome with the Ottoman
Porte, with a view to promote the trade of Italy with
the Levant. Count ESCALON, the Roman Consul at
Marseilles, has been orthred to proceed to Constanti-
nople on this mission. France will afford him every
facility to bring his negotiation to a successful termi-
nation.

Two remarkable occurrences have already demon-
strated that the Irish labourers are being trifled with
over-much, and that their meekness and forbearance,
under their existing accumulation of sorrows, are yield-
ing at last to the dictates of famine and indignation.
On Friday afternoon, according to the Cork Reporter,
several agricultural workmen entered their office as a
deputation from Ballyfeared, with an advertisement

The inhabitants of Ancona have presented to
Monsignore Rossi, the delegate of the province,
an address, which had been. voted by acclamation,
demanding—first, the permission to erect a monument
to Pius IX. ; second, a convocation of new provincial
councils, which would efficiently represent the wishes
and wants of the provinces, and endowed with the
power of proposing the necessary measures for the
welfare of the people. The news of this popular de-
monstration soon spread through the different lega-
tions, and caused a great sensation.

The Courrier Francais has the following, on the
consequences that must ari-e from the reactionary
policy pursued by the present Government of Spain,
of which this marriage is a principal indication :
" The state of Spain is becoming more and more com-
plicated—a terrible explosion cannot fail to take place.
We have not laid before the public the letters which we
have received from Spain during the last few days. For
this we had two reasons—the first of which is, that they
contained predictions so alarming that we felt it to be
our duty to wait till they were confirmed by events; the
second reason is, that they contained naturally many
contradictions on the great question of the moment. We
would speak of the disposition of England since the
hand of the Infanta Maria Luisa Ferdinanda was
granted to the Duke de Montpensier. These contradic-
tions, however, do not bear upon simple details. What
is certain is, the resentment of England, and the perils
which this resentment must infallibly bring upon
Spain. All the world knows the tenor and bearing of
the representations addressed by Mr. Bulwer
to M. Isturitz. The English Ministers had not
then received any positive instructions from his
Government. But a matter was in question on
which he could make energetic protestations with-
out fear of compromising himself, and Mr. Bulwer did not
hesitate to make them formally. Nevertheless, the mar-
riage of the Duke de Montpensier and the Infanta will
be accomplished. The Madrid Gazette announced it
officially, and yesterday morning this new triumph
was trumpted in the columns of the Debuts.
Of little importance is the implacable discontent
of the Progressist party—of little importance is the
insurmountable repugnance it has created in the Puritan
fraction, the truly Constitutional fraction of the Moderate
party—of little importance are the threatening alarms
of public opinion, an explosion- of which has never
been more menacing, even on the eve of the most for-
midable pronuncianzientos. The reaction is infatuated
with its triumph; it is struck with that blindness which
caused the ruin in 1834 of the partisans of the Estatuto
real and, in 1840, of Queen Christina herself. Unhappy
Spain is the only country, perhaps, in the world in which
a retrograde Government knows not how to open its ears
to the legitimate complaints of public opinion. Let,
therefore, the Cabinet of Madrid persist to the last in its
reactionary projects. It will have to sustain an open
conflict with an immense majority of the Spanish nation.
What use is there in reminding it, when it will neither
see nor listen to anything, of the disastrous consequenc( s
which have at all times fallen upon Governments which
have been misled into such contentions?"

declaring that the miseries experienced in the barony
of Kinnalea were so direful, and that the sufferers
were so entirely overlooked by those upon whom
their preservation from death devolved, that unless
provisions were contributed within a stipulated
period, " forcible means would be had recourse to to
procure it!" The other circumstances occurred at

It would appear that the valley of the Appenthal is
not to be added to France, notwithstanding the
alleged agreement for its sale by the Canton of Vaud.
In the sitting of the Swiss Diet at Zurich, on the
10th September, the President declared that the re-
port current among the public that Appenthal was to
be added to France, was void of foundation. The
valley is one league and a half in length, and one
league in breadth, with two or three hundred inhabi-
tants, and is of great importance in a military point
of view. The deputy of the Canton de Vaud stated
that the inhabitants considered themselves as Swiss,
and proved by documents that the valley formed part
of the confederation. He said that the conduct of
France was not very honourable, and demanded that
the matter should be laid before the Vorort, as it was
important for it to be made public that the confedera-
tion did not intend renouncing any of its rights. The
proposition was unanimously adopted.

the demonstration of about three hundred starving
labourers, held on Wednesday last, immediately
before the castle of Eyrecourt, near Ballinasloe. The
manner of these three hundred peasants is wonder-
fully striking. They are starving, and yet they are
passive : they remonstrate with their landlord upon
their forlorn and destitute condition, and they tell
him that, notwithstanding their anxiety to pre-

serve all reasonable order and sobriety, they
cannot and will not perish while they are surrounded
by plenty, and that it is madness to expect them to

act otherwise. These illustrations of the want of
employment and provisions in Ireland cannot be too
incessantly or too forcibly pressed upon public atten-

tion. The devastation has been rapid and general—
its correction should in like manner be rapid and
general. The antidote should be as powerful as the
poison, or the pernicious effects of the latter cannot
be counteracted.

The following proclamation, dated Sans Souci,
Sept. 4, has been issued by the King of PRUSSIA on
the subject of the late disturbances at Cologne :—" I
have learnt with much sorrow, by the reports of the
authorities, and through the address of the Burgo•
master and of the Municipal Council of Cologne, of
the 14th instant, that a considerable number of the

The Duke of BEAUFORT is determined to obtain
a share of that disgrace which has of late attached
to some other members of his order. He ap-
pears desirous of emulating their Graces of NEW-
CASTLE and BUCKINGHAM, the Marquis of EXETER,
and other Noble Lords, who during the last session
of Parliament afforded the strongest evidence of the
violation of the constitutional doctrine, that Peers
should not interfere in the elections of the repre-
sentatives of the people. On Monday we re-published
an article from the Gloucester Journal, which states
that notices to quit have been served on several of
his Grace's tenants, who (although as yet they have
committed no offence) may possibly have the manli-
ness to think for themselves, and not submit to be
dictated to by the Duke, or his underlings, and to
be driven to the hustings like a flock of unreasoning
animals, to record their votes in favour of any
nominee, whom it may please their landlord to
honour with his approbation. The lash is to be kept
suspended over them ready to fall if they should pre-
' sume to act according to the dictates of honour and
conscience. The freedom and purity of election is
to be exemplified in Monmouthshire, family ties are
to be disregarded, fraternal affection set at naught,
all the bonds of relationship to be severed and dis-
united at the fell dictates of party spirit and party
vengeance. The present case is even worse than any
of those of a similar character by which it was pre-
ceded. If the Duke of NEWCASTLE sacrificed a son,
the heir apparent to his title and possessions, and
arrayed himself in open hostility against the inhe-
ritor of his honours, he might at least plead that at
that time the great, the important measures of free
trade had not received the legislative sanc-
tion, that his act, objectionable as it was

inhabitants not only opposed the measures taken by
the police for the tranquillity of the town, and offered
resistance to the troops called out to enforce order,
but that they also assailed them with stones. Re-
sistance to the authorities is everywhere a serious
offence, especia:ly in a town which may justly be
called one of the ramparts of Germany.
The interference of the troops is therefore
wrongfully termed insignificant in the address. I
am of opinion that, on the contrary, the riot
ought to have been put down by force of arms, and
that it is greatly to be regretted that one man was
killed, and others dangerously wounded, as stated in
the reports. My troops showed a general coolness
, and praiseworthy moderation, so much so, that I ex-
pressed my satisfaction to them on their conduct
through the Commander-in-Chief. If, as it is stated
in the address, without however being proved, peaceful
citizens were ill-treated by the soldiers in parts of the
town distant from the scene of tumult, or if they
have committed any other excesses, the offenders shall
be punished according to the rigour of martial law.
I acknowledge the services of the citizens in endea-
vouring to maintain order; but I blame the more the
organization of a civic guard, without the express
sanction of the authorities, as it might be thought
that the civil and military authorities, after
having resorted to force, entrusted the mainte-
nance of order to the citizens, whilst it is my express
desire to avoid even the appearance of such weakness.
If the municipal authorities complain of not having
been informed of the measures taken for the evening
of the 4th, principally of an imposing military force
(as it is stated) on the market-place, I declare that
after what took place on the evening before that the
appearance on duty of those two hundred men was
not an extraordinary measure, and that it was excus-
, able, as on the one side it was a precaution against
further excesses; and on the other side, that the
burgomaster was informed of the fact. Neverthe-
less, according to the wish expressed, I have ordered
that, in future, when extraordinary measures are
deemed requisite, time permitting, the municipal
authorities shall be informed, so as in their turn to
inform the citizens, and to demand their concurrence.
I have reason to hope that the good sense of the citi-
zens and of the authorities will prevent the occur-
rence of such events in future."
The attention of the Diet at Frankfort is almost
exclusively occupied by the consideration of the
affairs of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein.

The French Government appears to be by no
means easy on the subject of Algeria. The Journal
des Debats, which would, of course, rather under-
state than overstate disagreeable news from Africa,
says—

" From the different accounts which have reached
France, it results that Abd-el-Kader is at present en-
gaged in re-establishing his Deira, that is, his small
army, from the Morocco tribes of the mountains of the
Rif, but does not seem to be likely at an early day to
attempt a new invasion of Algeria. The frontier is well
guarded at all points, and the troops of the division of
Oran are ready to move in any direction at a moment's
notice. The forts of Ghazaouat, Maghrnia, Sebdon,
and Dais, which are on the line, are provisioned suffi-
cient to supply such columns as may have to advance
beyond it. General Darbouville, commandant ad interim
of the province of Oran, is keeping a constant look-
out. General Cavaignac, who commands the sub-division
of Tlemcen, has a strong force on foot extending from
Maghrnia to Sebdon; and Colonel Pourailly, recently
made Major. General, is posted at Ghazaouat with six
battalions of infantry and five squadron of horse. In
Morocco it appears that the ascendancy which the Emir
is evidently gaining over some of the tribes causes great
uneasiness in the Court of Fez, and has induced it to
take measures to oppose him. The part to be taken by
the French generals on the frontier must necessarily be
that of a vigilant and armed observation, until the in-
trigues of Abd-el-Kader are absolutely defeated, and the
new operations in Morocco rendered abortive.
Lieutenant-Colonel COURBT DE COGNORD, one of
the French prisoners detained at the Deira of ABD-
FL-KADER, has written the following letter to his
father-in-law, dated August 15 :
" I take advantage of the departure of an Arab
courier, the bearer of a letter to Lalla-Maghrnia, respect-
ing an interchange of prisoners, which I wds requested
to address to General Cavaignac, to inform you that
lam still in the land of the living. The Emir is
quite willing that an exchange of prisoners should
take place, but does not wish it to be at Tan-
giers, or through the medium of the Moors. The letter
which I send to the General is to request him to inform
the Marshal that Abd-el Kader refuses to accept the
mediation of the Consul at Tangiers, who was the per-
son designated for the exchange; but that he is ready to
consent if the Marshal will entrust the affair to one of
his generals, and that the exchange take place near
Lalla-Maghrnia. Thus, if the Marshal consents, our
unhappy condition may soon be changed.
_lf he does
not consent, as we fare worse every day, we may re-
nounce all hope of seeing our country again. Colonel
Gagnon has spoken continually to me of the sympathy
felt for us in France and in the army. All that is very
honourable; but how comes it that with all those sym-
pathies our Government has not the humanity to release
us from this horrible position in which it has left us for
eleven mouths, when all that iS demanded in exchange
for our freedom, is the freedom of fifteen or eighteen
prisoners, some of them women and children; surely
this is not known in France. As yet we have sup-
ported our unhappy fate with resignation, but it has now
become insupportable, and we only hold out in the
hope that the Government or the Marshal will soon put
an end to our sufferings. Our wounds are all healed,
but we all suffer more or less from the effects of our
sad fate."

PARIS BOURSE, MONDAY, SEPT. 14.—The market has
undergone a farther reduction in price to-day, in consequence
of some considerable sales having been made for investment
in Railroad Shares, airl both Throes and Fives closed lower,

in every respect, might yet be productive
of some benefit to the cause which he was
at all hazards prepared to support. It was not that
he loved his son less, but that he loved protection
more. Such a plea, however, cannot be set up on
behalf of the Duke of BEAUFORT. The cause of pro-
' tection has departed. It is happily numbered amongst
the things that have been. There is no longer
a hope for the re-enactment of corn-laws to tax a
nation's food for the supposed benefit of a class. The
most sanguine monopolist can hardly hope for a re-
newal of the objectionable impost. The expulsion of
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET from the representation
of Monmouthshire therefore can only be regarded as
an act of cold-blooded vengeance, a punishment to be
inflicted, because his Lordship, a man of sense and
experience, a Cabinet Minister, entrusted with an
important position in the Government of the country,
and deeply responsible to the nation at large for
the manner in which he should dis charge the
duties committed to his hands, yielded a reluctant
consent to measures which he felt were imperatively
demanded by the intelligence of the people, and any
continued opposition to which must 'be utterly use-
less and impracticable, and because he aided and
assisted his sagacious and disinterested lea der in pass-
ing through the Legislature the neces nary enact-
ments. It is hardly surprising that his 'Grace, when
once he had determined on such a cc urse, should
hesitate about the means for carryinfl• his wishes into
execution. The man who could p 7 xsurne to dictate

but a repetition of the former note, " pointing out

is evidently ill at ease on the subject of this alliance,
and hence the eagerness of the eraldo to catch at
straws for the purpose of inducing a belief that the

Besides the above, Lord Eglinton's Draco, Mr.

and one of Mr. Wieford's mares, are talked of, but
are not very likely to come to the post; Grimston is also
doubtful; so that we may venture to take the number of
runners at twelve or thirteen. It is now rumoured that
E. Edwards will be on Sir Tatton Sykes, but nothing
certain will be known till this evening.

A servant of Mr. Pontifex's was then examined, who
stated that his master lived at Bram Hope Lodge, Charl-
ton, and that that was distanced six and a quarter miles
from Loudon.

Mr. ARNOLD upon this evidence overruled a e
jsction, and the name of Mr. Puntilex was retained on
the list of vJters.

MONEY arid COMNIERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUAR7'EId TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was again
buoyant, and the qaotations were fully supported.
Sales 10,000 b”les.—Shares were quiet.
The information received from the Cape of Good
Hope this morning is considered fiery satisfactory. No
doubt the next arrivals will announce the termination
of the war with the Kafirs. A second edition of the
Morning Herald contains the latest information upon
this interesting subject. The intelligence will be found
in another column of The Sun.
It is said, and truly, in a neat pamphlet before us,
entitled, " Consuls Abroad," (to the contents of which
future reference may be made), that " the wealth, pros-
perity, power, and even standing of the British empire,
depend on the continuance of a full and 6 tficient pro-
tection of its trade in foreign ports. Not being depend-
ent, as formerly, on trade for the support of their con-
sular stations, the majority of 13ritish Consuls are
not only free from any prejudicial collision of interests
with the merchants, but stand upon much more elevated
ground with the authorities, in advocating the rights of
t.er Majesty's subjects, and seeking redress for what-
soever injuries they may sustain. Much of the recent
and general augmentation of our foreign commerce must
be attributed to the greater degree of independence
and respectability given in later years to the cha-
racter and condition of her Majesty's Consuls.
There are no persons who better understand, or
know how to appreciate, the importance and advantage
of Consuls being placed in a respectable situation, than
the Britifh merchants abroad, whose interests, in fact.
arc closely connected with the maintenance of an efficient
and independent bearing on their part, the majority of
whom are, as they ought to be, men of talent, education,
and respectability, commanding the respect of the func-
tionaties of the towns where they reside, and doing
honour to the national character which they are dele-
gated to represent."
The price of Consols for the Account has remained at
96, and at 954 for Money. Exchequer-bills are lower,
viz , at Bs. premium. India Stock is at 260, and India
Bonds at 20s. premium, ft.r those under 1,0001.
In the Foreign Stock markets there has been a good
deal doing in the Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
at from 97.1- to 98k. Spanish Five per Cents. are at
274- tog ; the Three per Cents. at 381; and Mexican al
