MONEY-MARKET.--01 the extent and beneficial
nature of the business brought into the Bank of England
by the late loan, some estimate may be formed when it is
stated that the money lent out to individuals, in order to
enable them to make up tie payment of the instalments,
and to avail themselves of the superior advantage held out
by the Government, compared with the Bank, in the mode
of employing money, amounts to between 8,000,0001. and
8,500,0001. This is not a fact, of course, that is easily to
be got at, but there are very good reasons for concluding
that it is not far from the truth. The transaction then has
worked in this way—that the Government commences an
operation calculated to produce an immediate scarcity of
money. It flows out of the circulation by the natural pro-
gress of the ,operation into the coffers of the Bank, fur-
nishing the directors with the means of hecoining almost
the sole lenders, and making at the same time the best pos-
sible market for them out of doors. Such a benefit, and
from such an unexpected source too, has perhaps never
devolved upon the Bank since the granting of the first
charter.—Times.

FIRE AT HATFIELD HOUSE.—RECOVERY OF
THE REMAINS OF THE LATE DOWAGER MARCHIONESS OF
SALISBURY.—Some part of the remains of this unfortu-
nate lady were found on Saturday amidst the ruins. The
portions of the body, which had been recovered up to the
period of our latest intelligence were the :skull and an arm•
A bracelet worn by the late Marchioness Dowager on the day
of the fire had been found near the above remains A co-
roner's inquest will be held without delay, of which we shall
present our readers with an early and careful report.
In recording last week the death of the amiable
Lord Vernon we were premature in stating that his Lord-
ship's remains had arrived at Liverpool. From letters
since received it appears that this Nobleman died on the
18th ult., and that Lady Vernon contemplated leaving Gib-
raltar about the 30th, in the Harlequin yacht, with the
corpse on board. The yacht would most probably first
touch at Falmouth ; if-the wind be westerly, she may come
up to Spithead. The interment will take place at Sudbury,
in Derbyshire.—Hanzpshire Telegraph of Saturday.

On Sunday night, about ten o'clock, a fire broke
out in the stack-yard at Melford-place farm, Long Melford,
the property of C. Westrop, Esq., in the occupation of
Mr. Daniel Mills. The alarm wag instantly given, and
the Melford and Sudbury engines shortly arrived, and ren-
dered very efficient service. Fortunately, it was a calm
evening, or the dwelling-house and all the out-buildings
would probably have fallen a prey to the flames. The pro-
perty destroyed consisted of two wheat-ricks, a barn partly
filled with wheat, two straw stacks, and a clover-seed stack.
Nine other, stacks of hay and corn were preserved, through
the strenuous exertions of the persons assembled. The
buildings were insured.—Steik Chronicle.

SPAIN.

MADRID, DEC. 5.
The consolidation of the Government has, if it may bo

called possible, assumed a more fixed appearance within the
last few days. M. Mendizabal, with a tact exclusively his
own, allows- both the Estamentos to declare their senti-
ments freely ; he neither overwhelms them by the force of
oratory, nor does he strive to control them by any display
of power. This system, which may be called new in Spain,
is productive of good results, for it allows the opinion of
all classes to be exhibited. In the Estamentos this day
their judgment was called forth in the most impartial
manner, as will be found in the reports annexed to this
letter. The system adopted by the present Government
in thus giving free scope to the expression of public feeling,
has produced the best effects. The South, and by far
the greater part of the West of Spain, are not only tran-
quil,but enthusiastic in their efforts to reduce to a proper
sense of the duty which sensible men owe to a well-regu-
lated Government all the disturbed parts of the North
and East. So much secured appeared to be the tranquil-
lity of the south, that, for instance, the Captain-General of
Granada (General Quiroga) has written to Madrid, " I
have no soldiers here, nor do I want any ; the people are
tranquil, and delighted with the Government, and wish to
introduce its good system all over the Peninsula." Thus
may the enlightened Government of M. Mendizabal be
called. the most decided enemy of Don Carlos, for the so-
lidity which is characteristic of the Spaniards, in whatever
position they take voluntarily, will preserve them from

the risks of precipitate changes.
The Gazette of yesterday contains an offer from M.
Mendizabal to the Queen Regent, which states, that his
wants being few, he is enabled to offer for the exigencies
of the state the amount to which, as Minister of Financu,
he is entitled for confiscation in the colonies of Spain, being
one-fourth of the product, amounting generally to about
2,0001. per annum. This and his other donations, as well
as all other sums arising from voluntary donations, have not
yet been touched, for M. Mendizabal, as Minister of Fi-

nance, has declared his intention to keep those sums se-
cured until the beginning of next year. The want of mo-
ney has been much spoken of, and it was stated last week,
by good authority, that the sums due to the passive classes
were not forthcoming ; yet I this day learned, from the best
month
of that the pensions of the widows, &c. for the
of October have this week been paid, which is not less than
when M. Ivlendizabal assumed office, when there were two

months due. The amount of the pay of the army, and of
the dividends, is stated to be placed beyond all doubt.
Thus, the most important wants of the State are provided
for, and thus will M. Mendizabal be enabled to carry on
the government with effect.
The departure of General Alava and of the Minister of
War, Count Alrnodovar,has been fixed for Monday. They

proceed to Briviesca or Vittoria, where the British Legion,
with General Evans, who has recovered from his indisposi-
tion, is now supposed to be, in order to hold a conference
with Generals Evans, Zarco de Vale, and Cordova. Some

designing persons got up a report in this city, that a mis-
understanding existed between Generals Cordova and Evans
which is positively denied, as having no foundation in truth,
for the best terms prevail between them. General Cordova
a month ago expressed a wish to come to Madrid, in order
to explain various points which it was not possible to do by
letter ; but the danger of the removal of the Commander-
in-Chief being evident, it became necessary that the Minis-
ter of War, and some other intelligent persons, should pro-
ceed thither, in order to confer with the Generals on the
line of campaign to be adopted. Generals Alava and Al-
modovar proceed thither fur the purpose. The Prime
Minister, M..Mendilabal, in the present state of public
affairs, cannot well absent himself, and therefore the Mi-
nister of War—to whom, in many points of view, the
subject may be said to appertain, has undertaken the

journey.
There has been much anxiety expressed respecting the
state of Galicia, where Lopez, the Carlist chieftain, has

lately carried on his depredations with effect ; but the ar-
rival of General Latre, appointed to replace Morillo, now

debilitated by sickness, will, it is expected, contribute to
put down the disturbances there. The Government does
not appear to entertain any serious apprehension of the acts
of Lopez and his gang ; for M. Mendizabal, acting in a con-
trary sense to-his predecessor, Toreno, has contributed to
pacify the inhabitants'of the sea coast. The quantity of
fish caught there is estimated annually at nearly 2,000,0001.,
and of course the value of salt, which in Spain is a Royal

monopoly, is proportionally great. Toren° raised the du-
ties on it from 10 reals (2s. 6d.) to 54 reals (135.), where-
by numbers were driven to starvation and misery ; but Men-
dizabal has lowered it again to 10 reals, by which he has
satisfied the people. Lopez having been obliged to give up
his attempt to blockade Corunna, where provisions can be
received by sea, has tried his skill in establishing one round
Santiago, an inland town, from whom loud complaints have
already reached Madrid—a strong proof that this blockade
is rather inefficient. Notwithstanding these comulaints,
but little fears appear to be entertained of the struggles of
the Carlists in Galicia ; for, as it is expected, the efforts of
General Latr6, seconded by those of the people, will speedily

expel them.
The news from the neighbourhood is also favourable, for
the freebooters there who call themselves Carlists, have been
three or four times attacked, and different parties of them

dispersed. Some of the Royal Guards who still remain in
Madrid are preparinc, to go to the provinces of the North.
The Gazette of Friday' contains a Royal order for collecting
at the Havannah and in Cuba such cavalry soldiers as

fought in the American wars, and are still fit to carry arms,
and who on their arrival in the Peninsula are to be called
" The American Lancers of the Queen." Tranquillity is
officially stated to exist in the island of Cuba up to the 3d
of October, the date of the last letters. At the Univer-
sity of Alcala, within twelve leagues of this city, some con-
fusion is stated to have been caused by certain lay profess
sors and others, who are called Jesuits, having attempted to
procure exemptions from entering into the new levies. This
exemption was refused, as they could not show any legal
cause for it. In the other parts the levies have been car-
ried on with tranquillity. It is estimated that 70,000 men
at least will be assembled, who being merely soldiers added
to the army, will not cost more than Is. each man per day,
or almost 1,200,0001. for the year's service—a small sum
for which M. Mendizabal represents the Exchequer as fully
prepared. This, together with the statement that Don
Carlos will be driven out of Spain before the end of April,
contributes much to elevate the good spirits of. the Queen's
friends.
At Zamora last week some disputes took place between
the Portuguese soldiers and the retail dealers respecting the
value of the Portuguese money. ,There were two or tree
persons stabbed on both sides ; but the Spanish and Portu-
guese authorities and soldiers having combined together,
tranquillity was restored by the Portuguese soldiers with-
drawing for a short time out of the town.
It is said that General Cordova is about to go in the di-
rection of Pampeluna, in order to perform some military ,
movement of importance. The Carlists are said to be dis-
pirited, in consequence of the defeat of the Navarre bat-
talions ; but as yet the details are not known here. There
is this day a, curious rumour, which I give, without in any
manner guaranteeing the grounds of it, as it looks like the
supposition of some Spanish politicians, anxious to account
fur the departure of General Alava and Count Almodovar
to the army. It is said that the British GoVernment, dis-
satisfied and discontented with the proceedings of Russia,
has caused to be delivered some strong notes to the French
Foreign Minister, in which the union of France with the
Northern Autocrat is complained of, and a demand made
for a declaration if Louis Philippe would side with England,
and that in consequence France has come to a determination
to support British policy, and to give up the Preterider to
the Spanish throne, and that Almodovar and Alava go to
the North in order to confer with Cordova and Evans on
the means of embodying the Carlist army with that of
Spain. Don Carlos is to receive a pension, and to quit the
Peninsula—a matter of which he is described to be very
desirous. The embodying of the Carlist troops with Cor-
dova's army is thought in the present spirit of the Spanish
army to be pregnant with difficulties, to smooth which the
Minister of War and the Spanish diplomatist proceed to the
North. The latter is also to start speedily from thence to
Paris to replace for a time the Spanish Ambassador there,
who has been suspended for some reasons, respecting which
there arc strange stories afloat.
Among other Frenchmen who have latterly arrived in
Madrid is the editor of the illoniteur du Commerce of Paris,
who having this week attended two or three sittings of the
Procuradores, in which there were strong comments made
on the conduct of the French Government in succouring
the Carlists in the northern provinces, has written a letter
to one of the journals denying the existence of such a wish
on the part of the French people or French Government.
The letter is a weak production, and has been severely
handled by one of the Madrid papers of this morning, in
which an appeal is made to facts in support of the accusa-
tion. The dislike of the Spaniards to the French system of
intrigue is thereby augmented, for they, like other nations,
judge most satisfactorily by facts alone, and as many say—
" We, while exiles, could no nothing against Ferdinand
VII., because the French police would not allow us. 'Why
does that police allow the French in the South to aid the
Carlists now ? They can prevent them, as they did us."
While the French thus continue to lose ground, the
British policy has been forwarded by its steady perseverance
in the paths of justice and of supporting liberty. The re-
gulations of the Consuls, as published in the decree of last
Sunday's Gazette, of which I have already sent you a
translation, having been very properly considered by Mr.
Villiers, the British Minister, as likely to produce delay
and obstacles to commerce, has, in consequence of an ener-
getic note addressed by him to the Foreign Ministry, been
postponed in its operations, until another and satisfactory
examination of the matter shall have been duly effected.
Another measure, for which Mr. Villiers has been labour.
