The Magellan, from Valparaiso, has brought
£14,500.
The Cambrian, for the Cape of Good Hope, has
taken out £lO,OOO.

It is stated that although the most strenuous
exertions will continue to be made to enable the
Government to take over the working of the tele-
graphs on the Ist of January, there are doubts if it
can be effected before the middle or end of that
month. Meanwhile it is reported that the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer will not appear in the market
as a borrower of the amount to be raised for com-
Pensation, but will meet it temporarily or otherwise
by adjustments in connection with various branches
of the public accounts.
With respect to the award from the arbitrators
of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, the
arbitrators commenced their sittings on the first day
of the term (November 2), and sat continuously
for about ten days, during which time the legal
Points that had been previously submitted to them
in printed cases on behalf of the various sections of
the undertaking, and by individual claimants, were
argued before them. They have now to engage iu
the analysis and investigation of accounts, and the
examination of the different undertakings of the
company, which must be a matter of much intricacy
and some delay. It seems, therefore, obvious that
the construction of an award in itself is an affair of
such extreme magnitude and complexity that those
Who anticipate its being accomplished before Christ-
tau, or even before Easter, are over sanguine.
Advices from Ecuador state that the National
Convention of that Republic have confirmed the
decree of the President robbing the bondholders of
the 25 per cent. of the Customs' dues assigned for
the payment of the dividends. The Convention at
the same time authorise the President to take ad-
vantage of the effect which this spoliation must
have on the value of the bonds by purchasing any
amount of them not exceeding in cost £lO,OOO,
Which he may be able to procure at a price below
10. If England and other nations tolerate this,
and consent to hold intercourse with such a Go-
vernment, it would seem evident that private is
Much stronger than public morality, since social
laxity has never yet gone to the extent of admitting
brigands to terms of equality.
