A Leeward Island mail has arrived by the Sheldrake, which
sailed from St. Thomas, July 6.

By the express from Paris, we have two days later information
from the Spanish frontiers. The following dispatch was sent by
M Thiers, to be posted up at the Bourse
ST. JEAN DE Luz, AUG. 6.—Don Carlos has arrived at Maria,
and appears to retreat to Elisondo. The insurgents avow un echec
on the Ist August, and their army appears to be concentrating to-
wards St. Estevian.
On the 4th the insurgents were stated to be attacked and routed,
and pursued in all directions. The above official communication
had not improved the French Funds, which were 75f 35c. ; Spanish
341/. Upon the whole the news by the express from Paris is of
the same contradictory stamp as the previous accounts received,
and we must wait for further information to ascertain the true state
of the contending armies in the north of Spain.
We have seen letters this morning from Bilboa, dated the 25th
July, which give a very different account of the state of that city
and the Carlist force to that given by the correspondents of some of
the papers there. The writer describes the rebellion as most con-
temptible ; in the city the utmost tranquillity prevails.

THE FUNDS.
We have but few arrivals this morning to communicate, and the
only one of any interest is the Express from Paris, which brings
meagre accounts from General Rodil's army, and nothing of a de-
cisive nature; but the information from Madrid of the report that the
Spanish Cortes Bond holders are to have half of the amount of their
bonds paid to them, with other accounts that they are to receive
two-fifths, has greatly enlivened their spirits this morning, and
caused Spanish Bonds to ijOrove from 441%, the leaving off price
to 44% 'X; Portuguese, 8414 12.
Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 9014 5(3 for the
Account, with little doing.

At the present hour there is a great bustle in the Spanish Market.
Spanish Stock, which was done at 44%, has improved to 46. At
present it is 45% 3/4 •

HALF-PAST ONE.
We have no fresh arrivals up to the present hour. Speculating
in the Spanish Stock has been the chief operation of the morning,
owing to a report that one of the Members of the Stock Exchange
had received a recent letter from Madrid, that it was the intention
of the Spanish Al Mister to lay before the Cortes a proposal that the
holders of the Cortes Bonds should receive 3-sths the dividends due,
which would be 93/. Five per Cent. Stock, for 155/. Indeed, of
late so many proposals have been put into circulation, that we can
scarce give credit to any of them.
In consequence of the above, Spanish Stock still maintains the
advanced price of 46 ; Portuguese 84% 54.
Consols have also improved to 90% % tor the Account.

On Tuesday Prince Puckler Muskau had the honour
of dining with the King and Royal Family of France, at Paris.
THE RUSSELL INSTITUTION.—Last night Mr.
Heraud, (the author of the lately published epic poem) deli-
vered in the lecture-room of this Institution a funeral oration
upon Coleridge. We are not accustomed in England to this
mode of conferring posthumous honour on the mighty dead.
France, herself the mimic of a classic original, is our model
in the practice. We can scarcely think that Mr. Heraud has
quite-mastered its theory, or that he will establish it as an ac-
ceptable innovation upon our national habits. Both in his
matter and manner he was infelicitous. The former was un-
digested and ill arranged ; the latter impassioned, inflated,
and theatrical. He gave no sketch of the life of Coleridge ;
he dwelt but little upon the merits of his poetic works, but de-
dicated the greater portion of one hour's oration to what would
take a dozen lectures to elucidate, viz., the suLtle and subli-
mated philosophy of that illustrious metaphysician. In fact,
where quiet, calm, and clear criticism was indispensable, he
only rhapsodised, and in the end his audience must have found
that he had not presented them with even a bold outline, much
less a finished portrait, of the great departed.
