tionary party will no doubt be reinforced by the repre
sentative of the new Government of Geneva. Such is
the situation in which Switzerland finds herself, and we
cannot conceal that it is by no means calculated to
inspire confidence."

We are glad to see in the Debats the following,
which we consider as an official contradiction of the
report that M. GUIZOT had demanded of the English
Government the extradition of the Count DE MONTE-
MOLIN :-" A London journal has pretended that the
French Government had demanded fro:n the Eng-
lish Government the extradition of the Count DE
MONTEMOLIN. We are authorised to give to this
assertion the most formal contradiction."

The Courier de Nantes publishes the following
letter from Otaheite. It is dated May 28th :
" On my arrival at Otaheite everythir:g was going on
well, and I thought I should succeed here as well as the
Marquisas, from which I had come, but suddenly the
horizon became overcast, and war commenced at 'Eta-
bine. From this moment business was at an end. An
expedition of 500 men set out to bring the natives to
subjection, but it was not auccessful. Two days after-
wards the stcamer returned. As lam well acquainted
with the captr in, I went on board to learn the details of
the victory which we supposed we had gained. I saw
about forty men lying on the deck. Pradier,' said the
captain to me, we have been beaten. There are the
wounded. We have had twenty-six dead and thirty
hors de combat.' This was the first affair. The Canacs
of Otaheite, as soon as the news had reached them,
assembled in their camp. On our side we organised a
column to proceed against them. The Queen, who is
in another island, sent word to her subjects by her
brother-in-law that she was about to return.
Our forces being short, we were compelled to wait for
reinforcements. At length Admiral Ilanaelin arrived.
We remained forty-two hours in the same position, but at
length, one fine morning, when everybody was at dinner,
the Canacs entered the town, began to burn the
houses, and fired upon all whom they fret with. Our
troops got posses-ion of the heights, and for three hours
kept up a constant fire. We at ength drove off the
enemy, but we had five men killed. From this moment
everybody was under arms, and every night we were
obliged to keep up a discharge of musketry to prevent
the natives from burning us out. We embarked on
board the vessels everything belonging to us the most
valuable. Thirty• five days passed thus, during which
we lost only seven or eight men. In the meantime a
slight affair took place at Tapouna, in which we had ten
men killed, and the same number of wounded. At
length arrived two corvettes with troops commanded by
the governor. The column being soon organised, set
out, and up to the period of my quitting Otaheite, did
not cease beating the Canacs, and burning all their
houses. But the natives always escaped, and therefore
lost few men. We had seven killed and fifteen wounded.
The governor is to make the tour of the island. If our
troops can coop up the natives and kill a great many of
them, they will not fail to solicit for peace. Otaheite is
a fine country. The natives are very mild, but they are
too much attached to their Queen, and our friends the
English do all they can to excite civil war between them
and us."
The latest accounts from Algiers are of the 6th of
October.
The Ilfoniteur Algerien of that date has the follow-
ing intelligence from the Morocco frontier :-
6' We learn through Tlemcen a new instance of the
anarchy that reigns in the west of our frontier near
Morocco. At the beginning of the last month the llalafs
pillaged a numerous caravan returning from Ouchda to
the interior of the empire. It was in vain that it de-
manded succour from the Caid of Ouchda. The booty
taken by the Halals and their allies is estimated at 50,009
dollars. This is probable from the high price at which
the goods have been sold. We are assured that some of
the cavalry of Abd-el-Kader were among the robbers.
The Caid of Medrornah has just given an additional
proof of his fidelity in arresting two emissaries sent by
Bou Maza to excite insurrection in the town."

It is said that Mr. Charles Villiers, a gentleman
and a man of talent, will obtain the government of Bom-
bay. We should rejoice in such an appointment for two
reasons. First, because Mr. Villiers is a gentleman and
a man of talent; and, secondly, because we believe him
to be an ill-used and neglected man. If there be any
merit in the free-trade system, Mr. Charles Villiers de-
norvos all the credit of it, for he maintained and propa-
gated the doctrines, and at some risk, too, before the
Cobdens, Brights, Wilsons, Smiths, or Foxes had been
ever heard of. Yet he has obtained neither pudding nor
praise—neither a statue nor a subscription.—Morning
Herald.
The Parisian correspondent of the Brighton Ga-
zette, in describing the opening of the Italian Opera at
Paris this season, says that the French dilettanti com-
plain " that the once-charming Grisi is becoming—may
the word be spoken—too fat."
ADELPHI.—The following distinguished personages
have visited this theatre to witness the races in the new
extravaganza of the Jockey Clcb :—Prince Treubetskoy,
Prince Vladimir, Count Koudriaffski, Hon. W. Wel-
lesley, Lady Bosville, Baron Behausen, Mrs. Henry
Baring, Mr. Henry Broadwood, M.P., and Mrs. Broad-
wood, Mr. Hubert de Burgh, Hon. Spencer Cowper, Mr.

BUTCHERS' CHARITABLE INSTITUTION CRICKET
CLUB.—CLOSE OF THE SEASON.—The first anniversary
dinner of this excellent and praiseworthy society, was
held yesterday, at the club's head-quarters, mine host
Hart's, of the Swan, Walham-green. To say that the
connoisseurs of the good things of the table had " lenten
fare" would be a libel on their judgment in the selection
of a caterer ; on the contrary, a better dinner, better
served, than the forty friends of humanity, charity,
fellow-feeling, and healthful sport, sat down to discuss,
it has seldom fallen to our lot to have seen spread on
the social board. When an association combines those
warm sympathies and good intentions which make " all
mankind of one common kin," it leaves but little for the
chronicler to record, save an expression of regret that
such sunny spots in memory's waste are not more fre-
quent. After the usual loyal toasts, that of " Prosperity
to the Club which there assembled," called up Mr. H.
Collins, the secretary, who, in a speech to the point, an-
nounced that fifty pounds had been added to the funds
of the Butchers' Charitable Institution by the exertions
of the club. He trusted that as they progressed a wider
field would open for their useffil and benevolent efforts,
and that by the infusion of fresh blood into their ranks,
in the coming spring, 1847 might put its predecessor of
1846 to the blush ; not in earnestness of purpose, but
in increased effectiveness and power of doing good. Mr.
Sharp, the president of the committee of the institution,
and other gentlemen, also addressed the assembly ; and
after a pleasant evening, diversified by excellent harmony,
and an interchange of encouragement to perseverance in
the laudable and benevolent undertaking in which all
present seemed most heartily embarked, the company
separated with the hope to meet again as early as the
next season will permit, to serve the cause of " Charity
and Cricket."

DECLINE IN CONSOLS.--'the settlement in the
English market has turned out rather unfortunately for
those speculating for the rise, decline of about + per
es a cent. having occurred in Consols. This is a great con-
trast to the appearance of the market oh Tuesday, when
everything w •
as looking firm, and is attributed to heavy
sales made by a leading house, and to the failure of a
party who is a princip rebr of what is called the
"New Stock Exchan ea." member
lthough this party has, of
course, no connectiongwith the Stock Exchange pro-
p_erly so called, the large amount of 150,0001. stock
which, it is said, was thrown- upon the market, could not
fail to produce a depressing effect.—Times.

GENERAL ALARM OF FIRE THROUGHOUT LONDON.
--About half-past five o'clock yesterday morning, infor-
mation reached • every engine-station the metropolis

glare of some tremendous fire. The river for miles

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from
14,000 to 15,000 bales, of which 8,000 were on specula-
tion. The market was very animated, and prices in
most instances were id. per lb. higher. Holders deem
the accounts by the Cambria in their favour; the crop of
Sea Islands' being estimated at 15,000 bales. The quo-
tations are as follows:-200 Pernams and Maranhams,
at sd. to 71c1.; 400 Bahia, at 6d. to 7d.; 300 Egyp-
tian, at 6d. to 7d.; 500 Surat, at 3d. to 4p.; and the
rest American, at sd. to 6-id.
The papers and letters received by the Cambria
steamer are of considerable interest as respects the
quantity of supplies coming forward of flour, &c. The
exports are represented as being very heavy indeed.
The weather, too, continued satisfactory for getting in
produce. The weather is thus referred to in the last
number of the Quebec Gazette which has come to
hand:—
" Tim WEATHER.—The north east wind which com-
menced on the night of the 18th inst., continued only
till the following night. Yesterday the wind was west,
the air again smoky, and the thermometer up to 75 deg.
in the shade ; towards evening the wind went round by
the sou,h, and it began to rain about ten o'clock, and
continued till towards daylight with a light easterly wind
which still continues. Some farmers in the new settle-
ments have got in their potato crops in good order, in
some cases a thousand bushels. Ploughing is commenced
en moist grounds."
In the English Stock Market the settlement of the
Account has formed the principal business of this day.
As yet all has gone off well. The failure, talked of so
much, which occurred yesterday, was a mere bagatelle.
The party was a member of the Exchange just
started—rather an ill omen as respects the
future prosperity of the concern. Consols for the
Account have been done at 95a, and for Money at 95k;
but just now sales were made of the latter at 94k. The
Exchequer-bill market is heavy, at 14s. to 17s. premium.
Bank Stock has improved train 2051 to 2061.
Speculation is rather active in Mexican, in Spanish,
and in the Dutch Funds to-day. Prices are, for most of
the foreign investments, anything bt.t firm.
There is a better opinion entertained of Railway
Shares to-day. The official prices are annexed.
