BOURSE, THREE o'CLocx.-This morning at Tortoni's the
Three per Cents., were at 78f. 90c., with a very brisk market.
At the opening of the Bourse, however, they declined to 78f.
75c., till half-past 2, when a sudden fall took place. Several
brokers having sold a lucre quantity of stock, it was reported
that expresses from Madrid of the 16th had arrived with bad
news. The Spanish Government, it was added, had declared
that j? was impossible to dispense with intervention ; on this
the Three per Cents, fell to 78f. 30c. Spanish stock looks
down, and it would be very difficult to find a purchaser for any
considerable portion of that stock.

Madrid papers, to the 15th inst., have been re-
ceived, together with private letters from. the same
capital. We are informed by the latter that the QUEEN'S
Government has recognised the independence of the
South American States, although the decree to that
effect is not yet published. The extreme Liberals in
Madrid are daily growing more restless ; and it was
feared by Ministers that an insurrectionary movement
would have taken place on the night of the 15th inst.
Happily, however, the people remain peaceable ; and
as the Government has resolved to summon the Cortes
to its assistance, it is probable that measures will be
adopted to check the spirit of insubordination which
bcqins to display itself in all popular movements in the
capital.

SPANISH EXPEDITION.

ARRIVAL. OF GENERALS EVANS AND

ALAVA.

Extract of a letter from a Naval CMicer on board the
Spanish steamer frigate, Isabel IL, dated Santander, 17th

instant :

" We left Plymouth on Monday morning last, and ar-
rived oil Santander on Wednesday evening. On Tuesday
we took General Evans to St. Sebastian and Bilboa.
There is a move on the board in which we are to co-ope-
rate. Two steamers have arrived, one yesterday from
Scotland with 450 men, and one to-day from Dublin with
330—a1l fine men. The crew gave entire satisfaction.
Lord John Hay dined with us yesterday on board, and
spoke very highly of the state of the vessel."

RAMSGATE.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Kent, and the Princess Victoria, are expected here about
the 21st September. Albion House, and some of the houses
adjoining in Albion-place, have been taken for two months from
that period.
Chisholm of Chisholm, M.P., has arrived at his
seat, Erchless Castle, in this county.—lnverness Courier.
The General Steam Navigation Company's mail
packet, the Britunnicus, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Cus-
tom•house, at nine o'clock, 24th August, A. NI.
The accounts from the Yorkshire moors represent
the sport as very indifferent. The birds have hitherto been
scarce, and are said to be unusually lean, which may be
mainly, if not entirely, attributed to the long continuance of
dry and sultry weather.
CLERGY BILL.—The Liverpool Clergy Bill has
been withdrawn from the Notices of Motion in the Votes of
the House of Commons. We have reason to believe that
Lord Sandon has withdrawn the notice, after having ascer-
tained his inability to carry this obnoxious measure.—Liverpool
Chronicle.

Merthyr Tydvil and its neighbourhood have been
visited by a very severe thunder-storm, by which nearly one
thousand panes of glass were broken in Mr. Thompson's
hot-house at Penydarren Place, arid the consarvatory at Mr.
Russell's was almost wholly destroyed— Carnarvon Herald.
FATAL PUGILISTIC CONTEST.—Saturday an
inquest was held at the White Hart, Edgeware, on the body
John Mcad, aged twenty-seven, who was killed in a pugilistic
encounter with a man named Henry Cobb. The deceased
was employed on the premises of Mr. Wilson, of grockley-
hill. A quarrel ensued between some of the men, and at
length the deceased and Cobb commenced fighting. They
had three severe rounds, when the deceased fell and expired.
It appeared that Cobb was a harmless man, and averse to fight-
ing, but was goaded to it by being struck by the deceased, and
the jury returned a verdict of Justifiable Homicide.

A farmer of Trowbridge has tried on an acre of
land, the effect of planting wheat about a foot apart. He
last year had eighteen sacks from an acro and a quarter; and
from one acre of land which he has this year planted in the
same way, he expects twenty sacks of wheat. He has tried
in this manner tho red straw Laminas and the Taunton whie
wheat, and has found them both doubly productive ; on this
principle, two pecks of seed are sufficient for an acre. In the
winter there was scarcely the appearance of a blade, Lut when
the spring advanced,

Foxes have multiplied Wonderfully in some parts of
Ayrshire of late, and their creaghs on the poultry yards have
been sorely felt. In Croy Glen, on the south side of the
Doon, a large band of these wily depredators have fixed their
head-quarters, whence they issue and commit sad havoc in the
neighbouring poultry-yards. This is rather an unfavourable
hunting country, in consequence of the superabundance of
cover, otherwise the great number of foxes would afford a few
days' occupation for the Ayrshire hounds.—Ayr Observer.
EXECUTION OF JOHN PLUMLEY.—Monday
morning this unfortunate man underwent the final sentence of
the law at Ilchester, having been respited from the previous
Saturday. Shortly after eleven he ascended the scaffold, at-
tended by the Under Sheriff, E. Coles, Esq., the Rev T.
Roberts' Dissenting Minister of.this city, and the officers of
the gaol. He appeared comparatively firm, and acknowledged
with great regret his offence, stating that he had done it while
in a state of intoxication, and attributed his disgraceful death
to his frequenting beer-houses. He expressed much anxiety
on account of his wife and family, who he trusted would be
taken care of after his death. A prayer having been offered
up, after the lapse of a few minutes the fatal bolt was drawn,
and the wretched man died almost instantly without a struggle.
The number of spectators assembled was not great, at no time
;exceeding 600, who dispersed immediately on the termination
of the praceedings.—Zath Herald.
