came on in the city of Washington on the 11th ult.,
when the prisoner was acquitted on the ground
of insanity. On the evening of the 13th, the Hon.
„TWIN SUDAM, a Member of the Senate of the
United States, died suddenly at his own residence.
The event was communicated in the Senate and the
House of Assembly on the 14th, when resolutions
were passed expressive of admiration for his great
talents, and regret for his loss, both as a senator and
a citizen.

The Halifax Papers state that the weather during
the present month has been more boisterous than any
part of the winter ; during the last four days they have
experienced two very severe snow storms, with heavy
gales from every point of the compass. Great fears are
entertained in the City for the loss of the Halifax
packet.

Brussels and German Papers have been received.
The latter bring advices of some disputes in Greece
between the Greek and Bavarian soldiery, but the par-
ticulars are uninteresting. There is no other news in
these journals.

We cannot too strongly reprobate the conduct of
some of our Contemporaries in opening their columns
to every stock-jobbing express from Spain. It is im-
possible that they can be ignorant of the purport of
these gross fabrications. The following is a specimen
taken from the columns of a Morning Contemporary
of this day :

" PORTSMOUTH, MAT S.-The Royal Tar steamer, some
time in the employ of the Queen Regent of Spain, arrived this
morning at Spithead, in three days only from Santander. It
appears undoubted that the defeat of Valdez arose from a want
of judgment and skill, and has been most severe. He is, at
least, worth 5,000 men less than he was when he assumed the
command, while the loss of the Carlists does not exceed 1,500.
In addition to this the garrison of Bilboa, to the amount of
4,000 men, hare been betrayed by their General, who sent
them, under various pretexts, into the neighbouring villages,
in parties, where they were cut off, and disarmed seriatim by
the Carlists. The General escaped; not a doubt exists that
he has betrayed his trust."

Now we arc enabled, on the testimony of a military
gentleman on board the Royal Tar steamer, during the
latest occurrences in the northern provinces of Spain,
to correct the above confused and substantially erroneous
statement. He says " the Royal Tar left St. Andero on
the 4th inst., when the general reports there were, that
the operations of General VALDEZ having inter-
cepted, with his forces, the passes of the Amescoas,
Alsazna, &c., through which the Carlists used to move
freely into any part of Navarre and Guipuzcoa, had
compelled the whole of them (about fifteen thousand
strong, armed regularly, and ten thousand more—not
deserving the name of troops) headed by ZUMA-
LACA RitEGu t,--and accompanied by Don CAR-
LOS—to retire into Biscay, between the 26th and
27th ultimo ; and were about the first or second
concentrated at Guernica. At the time of their
retreat, it appears that the only division of the
Queen's troops in Biscay, were about 3,500 men,
commanded by IRIARTE, who being suddenly at-
tacked by the whole Carlist forces in their march, were
obliged to retreat to Lequeitia, with some loss. The
other divisions of the QUEEN'S troops—now that the
object of General VALDEZ has been obtained of dis-
lodging Zum ALA CA R REGU I from his favourite
mountains and passes in Navarre, must have
followed close upon the latter, and a definitive
and important engagement was therefore to have taken
place shortly afterwards, of the favourable result of
which, for the QUEEN'S cause, there can hardly be any
doubt, if the superior; means, and the known energy
and abilities of General VALDEZ are properly consi-
dered. As to the loss sustained by that General ac-
cording to the Carlist bulletins, and the express
above mentioned in the affairs of the 21st and
22d, out informant assures as that it is hardly worth
mentioning, and indeed the subsequent abandonment
of Navarre by the Carlists bears out that opinion
completely.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A great scarcity of money has prevailed for these two days
past in the Stock Exchange, and the cause is now attributed
to the preparations which are making by persons engaged in
converting Spanish Stock, together with the deferred and
passive portions of the Cortes Debt, to pay for them on their
delivery, which will take place on next Monday, and i very
large sum will be required for that purpose. This has also
been the cause for numerous applications to the Bank for
discounts.

Consols left off heavy yesterday at 924 for the Account ;

29 30 ; India Bonds, 12 14 ; India Stock, 260 261.

The scarcity of money was also felt in the Foreign Market,
which caused the various securities to close at lower prices,
and open this morning with a further decline. Spanish re-
ceded 1 per cent. ; done at 69—at present 69+ ; Spanish
Scrip, 9} ; Portuguese, 104 ; Columbian, 47 ;
