THE MEXICAN BONDROLDZRS.

The arnAxed is from the Committee of Mexican
Bondholders :

" Deferred Mexican Bonds.—The following is a transla-
tion of the letter of WE. the Minister of Finance, dated
Mexico, the 18th of July last, to the financial agent of
Mexico in London, Colonel Facio :
" Ministry of Finance and Public Credit,
- Second Section, No. 187.
" I have, under this day's date, sent to the representa-
tive of the old house of Lizerdi and Co., Mr. Pedro del
Valle, your note of the 18th of March, on the difference
which there is between receiving deferred bonds on which
thole is a claim for arrears of interest and active bonds of
the last issue, at the rate of 60 active for lea deferred, to
which I have added what follows :
" In communicating to you, by direction of the presi-
dent, this note, I beg to add that the authorisation to deli-
ver active bonds of those now current, at the rate of 60 ac-
tive for 100 deferred, was given solely because you stated
that a clerk of the house had abstracted a considerable
number of deferred bonds, and was meant only to apply to
the deferred bonds, which, thus circumstanced, might not
appear in the market, and not all to deferred bonds in the
hands of innocent holders, which necessarilymust be given
up in order to be cancelled.
" "The intent of the agreement with you was that Go-
vernment should receive back all the bonds issued in excess,
without having to pay a single dollar, which can only be
effected by your either deliverinc, deferred bonds, or if
active bonds at 60 for 100, the difference of value between
the two arising from the arrears of interest overdue on the
former.

" His Excellency the president has no doubt that yon
will admit that such was the intent and meaning of the
agreement with you, and that you will have proceeded on
this understanding of it • but in of der to obviate the pos-
sibility of all misunderstanding on this point, his Excel-
lency has directed this note to be addressed to you, and
that the same be communicated to the financial agent in
London, in reply to his note and for his Government."

by the Court of Directors of the Bank of England to fill
the vacancy in the direction occasioned by the decease

THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The Govern
meat authorities have adopted the views pres:ed upon
their notice by Lord Lyndhurst as to the employment
of the solution for stopping the incipient decay of the
stone used at the New Houses of Parliament, and pre-
venting, future decay, to the efficiency of which Sir C
Barry had certified, no time has been lost in bringing it
into operation. Workmen are already employed on 111 J
walls in other parts of the building besides the 1,400
yards on which it was originally tested, so that the who!e
edifice will be rendered impervious to atmospheric Mil-
cue and the deatruotive properties of damp,

ROBBERY OF A CASH-BOX WITH THREE HUNDRED
POUNDS.—John Walsh was brought up for re-examina-
tion, charged with being concerned in stealing a cash-
box containing near three hundred sovereigns and a ten
pound Bank of England note, the property of Charlotte
Thaike. The prosecutrix is in business with her son as
light erman, in Tooley-street. About a fortnight age,
during her absence, one of her sons, a /ad about fifteen,
took Ler cash-box from her bedroom and brought it down
to show Walsh. The latter snatched it from him and
ran off. Information was given to the police and Walsh
was apprehended. The empty cash-box was found by a
little girl the following morning in Kennington•lane.
The evidence mostly rested on young Maike, whom his
wcrehip could not put much faith in, but the prisoner
was remanded for another week.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 4.

There is but little charge in the market since Tues-
day, all the favourable features remaining, and buyers
showing an increased disposition to operate, though the
amount of business doing in cloths is limited. In grey,
red, and shirtings there is some demand, and prices were
rather firmer. There is rather more business .in some
kinds of grey domestics, but pries were unchanged.
In jac.mets and India shirtings generally the demand is
limited. T-cloths in a little better inquiry. Yarns con-
tinue to command the id. per lb. advance obtained at
the commencement of the week, and in some kinds there
is a tendency to a further advance.
NOTTINGHAM SEPT. 4.
The lace trade is iii a healthy state ; a number of
shipping orders are in course of completion, both for the
continent and other part, ; cotton quillings continue in
demand, and there is a fair amount of business doing in
other sorts of goods for the season. The very favourable
barveet weather imparts a buoyancy to trade, and, should
the corn be well got in of which there is now every ap-
pearance), our trade will be greatly kflueuced thereby.
Iu hosiery the amount of business doing is satisfa•:tory.
The cotton branch is bilsk. For winter goods there is
a good demand in connection with our home trade, as
well as that of the United States.

BRADFORD, Sm. 4.
The market this morning opened with a decidedly
improved tone, partly attributable to the large attend-
ance, but principally to the fine weather and favourable
change that has taken place in harvest prospects, by
which no market is more materially affected than that
of Bradford, and throughout the day an impetus
waq given to business. The staplers di mended for the
finer, and in same cases, the middling qualities of comb-
ing wool an advance of a per lb. This, in the early
part of the day, caused a temporary re,trietion, but in
the traj,,rity of sales it had to be conceded, and a toler-
ably fair business was;transacted in the azgregate. There
is a large supply of long staple wool at market; but of
short wools and noiis the stocks are limited, and the
inquiry continued steady.
yarns there was a satisfactory, we might almost
say brisk, business done ; although an improvement has
been gradually perceptible, orders were more freely given
out than for some time Fait, especially fel- export to the
continent, the Russian houses displaying the most acti-
vity ; the struggle experienced by the spinners was to
obtain an advance ou production commensurate with
that demanded for the raw material. Cotton warps
evinced the effect of the rise in the Manchester cotton-
market, and were generally higher in price.
The piece trade also partook of the general improve-
ment, and the merchants purchased more favourably of
seasonable goods fur the home trade. The business done
in the warehouses has been moderately extensive. The
foreign houses, as regards manufactured goods, appear
comparatively quiet.

Mr. George Peabody, the American banker and mer-
chant, sailed on Wednesday for the United States, in
the steamer Atlantic, from Liverpool.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last an inquest was
held at Exton, before Mr. H. Hough, coroner for the
county of Rutland, upon the body of Etvd. Cunnington,
coachman to the Mr. R. W. Baker, of Cot smore, ant
to the Earl of Gainsborough. It appeared that Mr.
Baker had been dining with the Earl of Gainsborougb,
and had ordered his dogcart to be at. the door at half-
past 10 o'clock to take him home. At about a quarter
to 11 o'clock the Rev. William Gibson left the house,
and noticed the horse and cart standing at the door.
Mr. Baker left the house a few minutes later, but the
dogcart could not then be seen. Lights were procured,
and a search made, and after some time a hat and the
seat and cushion of a dogcart were found floating in a
piece of water in the pleasure grounds, about 100 yards
from the house, and about 30 yards from the nad lead-
ing to Cott smore. Assistance was at once procured,
the water let off, a boat was manned, and a long rake,
with iron teeth, etuployed to drag the bitten). In about
half as hour the horse mid cart were found, and dragged
a.bore ; but it was half past 2 o'clock in the morning
before the body of the coachman could be discovered ;
wi,en, of course, life had been long extinct. The
i,ody was removed to the Fox and Hounds inn at Exton,
and the verdict of the coroner's jury was "Accidental
death." The evidence of one witness went to show that
the coachman, on leaving the I:44'arl of Gainsbornugh's
stables, was not strictly sober, and the track of the horse
aid wheels from the door, across the lawn, and up to the
point where the final plunge took place, shows that the
horse must have turned round and round half•a dozen
times, and have gone backwards almost as much as he
went forward. The deceased bad lived with Mr. Baker 26
years as coachman. This appalling event has created a
very painful feelicg in the neighbourhood.
