CONSCRIPTION IN FRANCE.

A French provincial newspaper contains an extraor-
dinary case of simulated suicide, contrived for the purpose
of evading the law of conscription. By the terms of th
law the eldest eon of a widow is not liable to serve. is
this case, the father of a young man, who had just been
drawn as a conscript, concerted a scheme for the
pur-
pose of making it believe.l that he had destroyed bums
in order to obtain the young man's exemption, as the son
of a widow. The plan was laid with considerable
inge-
nuity. A letter was written to announce his resolution
and to assign his reasons for it, and, on the same day, his
clothes were found on the banks of a neighbouring river,
but a diligent search hiving led to no traces of the hotly. a
was still alive, that there was really no corpus delicti, and
that the whole was a mere contrivance to protect the son
from the performance of his military duties. The attempt.
however, proves what sacrifices the lower classes are willing
to mike for the purpose of avoiding this compulsory ser-
vice. In this case, a father was ready to abandon hi.
home, and to separate himself for many years from his
wi e and family, in order to effect not his own, but his
son's liberation. The mutilation of the first finger of th
right hand has in many places been resorted to for a similar
purpose, but the young men of Paris have latterly adopte I
a more ingenious contrivance, although originating in the
same b ‘rbarous principle. By the means of spectacles id
a high magnifying power, they are able, by constant use.
to produce such an effect on the optic nerve, as to lank,
then,selves incapable of serving in the army. By the re-
gulations of the service, very short-sighted people are not
in fact admitted into tite ranks. Availing themselves of
this regulation, or rather of the principle of expediency by
which it is dictated, there is, I believe, in Paris, a mucus
greater number of young men who have made themselves
short-sighted by this artificial process, than those who
have become so in the ordinary course of nature.

GREAT YARMOUTH.

At a meeting of the trienots ut Parliamentary Reform.
held this day at the Ship Tavern, " It was unanimously
resolved, that a public meeting of the freemen and inhahtm
tants of thia borough, be held on the New HA Plain,
Quay, on Monday evening next, to adopt such measures at
the present important crisis as may he devilled most ex..
pedient to secure to the country the passing, untoutilated,
the Reform Bill now before the House of Lords; and that
William Barth, Eq., be requested to take the chair."

TAUNTON.

The news of the resignation of the Ministers was re•
ceived here at three o'clock on Thursday, and instantly
spread dismay and consternatio❑ through the town,—
Groups of people, too anxious to attend to their usual bu
sinesses, were gathered in various parts, speculating on the
probable consequences of this awful event, and their ear-
nest gestures and pale cheeks told plainly what those spe-
culations were. They felt that they had been deceived,—
not by Earl Grey, but by a higher power ; eulogium was
changed into the most fearful obloquy, we may say curses,
that were ever vented upon the head of man. About six
o'clock a great concourse of people had assembled on the
parade. A general determination was expressed to pay
no taxes. A requisition was circulated and numerously
signed to call a meeting of the inhabitants on Monday
next, to consider the present alarming crisis of public
affairs. It was unanimously observed that our Members
should be called upon to refuse all supplies whatever, until
the Reform Bill of Earl Grey, or something still more
effective, be granted. Three groans were then given for
the House of Lords and the Bishops, and three cheers for
Lords Grey and Brougham. The King's name rra

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, MAY 12.

In anticipation of a dissolution of Parliament, the Reforir
Committee here held a meeting this evening, when resolutions
were entered into to support the two present worthy counts
Members, G. Harcourt, Esq. and Major Weyland ; at the sam,
time a vote of thanks to them, for their uniform support of tin
Reform Bill, was unanimously agreed to. Circulars, addressed
to the different towns in the county, have been also forwarded,
urging the immediate formation of local committees to fertile'
the success of these gentlemen.

Some idea is afloat that a Political Union will be established
fer this town and neighbourhood ; to these societies we arc
indebted for the preservation of peace and good order at the pre-
sent awful criais. The following printed placard was exposed
in some windows here to-day " No more taxes paid here until
Earl Grey's Reform Bill is passed."

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, MAY 11.

TO TIIE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

sla,---The spirit of the people is up, and defeat has but
added desperation to indomitable resolve. A momentary
stupor was apparent on the first receipt of the fatal intelligence
this morning; but before three o'clock a meeting was sum-
moned by the Mayor, on the requisition of nearly two hundred
of the most respectable inhabitants of this town. Of course
it will be held in the open air, from the multitude expected to
assemble, which will probably not fall short of fifty or sixty
thousand men. To a people so united and so determined, final
discomfiture is impossible. The sun of Reform m.ty indeed
have disappeared for a time from our political horizon—
But enough of his glory remains on each sword,
To light us to victory yet." Z.

NORTHAMPTON.

A meeting of the inhabitants of Northampton is to take
place on Monday (this day), at the Peacock Inn, for the
purpose of expressing their sentiments on the lyes•nt
alarming crisis of public affairs, and adopting such trea-
sures as may be deemed expedient for furthering the great
cause of Parliamentary Reform."
A meeting of the shoe.manufactrrers of Northampton
and Daventry, took place on Thbrsd ty night, for the pur-
pose of considering what steps it would be prudent to take
with reference to the employment of the workmen at the
present crisis. It appears that for a long time past, the
warehouses of the manufacturers have been fully stocked,
and that they have continued to give employment to their
workpeople, in the hope that a speedy settlement of the
great question by which the country has been so tong agi-
tated, would give an impulse to trade, and avert the alter-
native of throwing so large a number of necessitous fami-
lies upon the parish. The recent event in the House of
Lords having, however, destroyed the hope which had
thus been entertained, the present meeting was called, for
the purpose already stated, at the Goat Inn, in this town.
After a great deal of discussion, it was determined to give
employment to the hands until it mi.rht be thought proper
to adopt a different course of proceeding.—Northampton
Mercury.

EVESHAM.

At a meeting of the Evesham Reform Association,
holden on Thursday, this present 10th day of May, 1837:!,
Mr. J. THORP in the Chair, it was resolved unanimously,
that the following address be printed and circulated forth-
with :
" Brother Reformers !—The insidious wiles of a despe-
rate and unprincipled faction have again prevailed. The
Reform Bill has been a second time neutralised by the
House of Peers. The flimsy mask of hypocrisy has
fallen from the visage of our adversaries; and they who,
in the speciousness of their deceit, but lately voted for
the second reading of the Bill, have realized our fears !
They did so, that they might but the better secure it in
their toils, and, serpent-like, destroy it in the venom of
their spleen.
" The friends of the people—the champions of Reform
—Eat! Grey and his colleagues—have, however, proved
faithful to their trust. They have redeemed their pledge.
They have stood,' and (unable to obtain such measures
as would secure it) they have fallen' with the Bill !
" But can a Tory Administration now purloin the con-
fidence of the nation--lured though it be by a Bill, the
phantom of Reform? Perish the thought ! e hearts
of Englishmen are unchanged—their resolve unalterahle
—and nought can ever sitisly this mighty people but the
principle of old Bill ! !—Aid nothing but the prii.ciple of
that Bill!! !
" The suddenness of the shock has palsied the nation,
and veiled it in
gloom. But this momenta' y t, rpor is

like the pause which precedes the death-spring of the 'lest
already couching at his prey. Measures lawful and con-
stitutional (Reformers own none else) even now remain,
by which, in spire of every obstacle, our end must ulti-
mately he obtained.
" We have nailed our colours to the mast—our harmer
is Reform—and under that we stand, till we achieve the
♦ictory !"

A SERIOUS RUN ON THE MANCHESTER

SAVINGS-BANK.

Six hundred and twenty depositors, possessing
16,0001., have given notice to withdraw,
chiefly on Friday and Saturday. The largest
previous panic was after the Bristol riots, when
211 gave notite to V;rithdraw 4,5931. The latter
drain so alarmed the Directors last year that they
thought it right to communicate to Govern-
ment. The letter says, " I know not what the
Tory Directors will say on Monday when they
will be summoned to give notice to Government
for 20,000/."

REFORM FUND COMMITTEE.

(SIR FRANCIS BURDETT, CHAIRMAN.)
TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND,

WALES, SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND.

The blind and misguided rashness of an anti-national and
intriguing faction has at last brought on a CRISIS unparalleled
in the annals of England. A TRIUMPHANT MAJORITY of the
House of Commons has shown itself FAITHFUL to its trust;
and the BOROLGHMONGERS, in utter ignorance of the state of
the public mind; in the vain hope that the people of these
realms are infirm of purpose, and destitute of political con-
sistency, contemplate an immediate ntssourriox of Parlia-
ment.

The COMMITTEE Of the REFORM FUND, the subscriptions to
which so effectively seconded the efforts of the people at the
last General Election, deem it their duty to be once more at
their post—They earnestly intreat the LOCAL COMMITTEES,
throughout the Kingdom, to reorganize themselves without a
moments delay, and to afford to each other mutual assistance
and information.

They appeal to every reformer, in every corner of the
United Kingdom, to prepare for the impending struggle--a
struggle which they await in the confident expectation and
belief chat the awakened energies of a GREAT and ENLIGHTENED
people will secure the election of FAITHFUL REPRESENTATIV LS,
and will encrease the numbers and strengthen the determi-
nation of that patriotic majority which has honestly and con-
sistently supported the cause of the PEOPLE—a SACRED
cause which under the blessing of PROVIDENCE, shall finally
prevail against the base intrigues of a BOROUGHMONGERING
FACTION.

People of the United Empire: Beware of the miserable
devises and fraudulent promises of SHAM REFORMERS.

Communications for the Committee will be received at the
CROWN and ANCHOR, Strand. No SUBSCRIPTIONS will be re-
ceived until the determination to dissolve the present Parlia.
ment shall be officially known.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

A Correspondent in Saturday's Standard has the impudence
to assert that the defeat of the Grey Administration was cele-
brated at Devizes, by the exhibition of flags and fire-works.
The writer knew that the latter were previously fixed to cele-
brate the necessity of Reform admitted in the House of Lords
by the second reading of the nation's Bill. His allusion to the
Wellington " stars" is poor indeed. The majority of the in-
habitants are firmly convinced, that they will be put out, with
as little delay and ceremony, as the eyes of Argus were by order
of Jupiter, the God of power. A flag, which wai first unfurled
on the day of hts Majesty's coronation was certainly raised, but
only half mast high, to show how much he has fallen in the ea.
teem and affection of his people. A public meeting is called for
Tuesday next to address the King and petition the House of
Commo,s, when Argus and the re-actionists will meet with the
" lie direct." I am your admirer and

EXETER.

(From the Western Times.)
A number of gentlemen assembled at 12 o'clock to—day
to concert measures, and Mr. Fellowes, with accustomed
promptitude, has sent a circular, of which the following is
a copy :
" Exeter, May 11, 1E332.
Six,—The virtual rejection of the Reform Bill by the Lords
on Monday evening, and the consequent resignation of Ministers,
render it advisable that the committee appointed on Friday last
should assemble. I have therefore to request that you will meet
me at the Globe Inn, on Tuesday next, at twelve o'clock, in or.
der to determine what measures should be taken to enable the
county of Devon to express its opinion on the present critical
state of the country, and at that meeting it is desirable that not
only the committee, but the friends of Reform generally should
attend ; you will, therefore, please to invite as many as you can
to accompany you.
" In the mean time I would suggest that you point out to
your friends and neighbours the effect which this blow at the
Reform Bill will have in destroying commerce, in depressing the
agricultural interest, and postponing every other salutary Reform,
especially the settlement of the tithe question, unless the country
instantly bestirs itself. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" N. FELLOWES."

Every thing depends on simultaneous action ; our hopts
of improvement in our commerce and agriculture, our na-
tional prosperity, our political condition, and all but our
national existence depends on the people of England.
It becomes the constituents of Russell and of Ebrington
to be foremost in support of their representatives. Look,
men of Devon, at the honesty of Russell—admire the bold
independence of Eorington—and go ye in your several sta-
tions and do likewise! Be prompt—be earnest—be firm.

BATH.

The parish of St. James has taken prece lehee of sum-
moning the rate-payers to record their strong feeling of
disappointment and indignaioa at the defeat of the Reform
Bill, and a very numerous and respectable body of the
parishioners assessed to the various rates assembled, in
eonsequence of a requisition to the churchwardens, at the
Freemasons' Hall, in York-street. 'r*elve was the hour
named, and very little time was lost before the business
was proceeded in. Mr. T. Harris, one of the churchwar-
dens, was called to the chair. The meeting was addressed,
and the various resolutions were moved and seconded with
considerable ability and force of argument, without any of
those inflammatory appeals to the passions, which, under
all the soreness of disappointment, might have been ex-
pected. The speakers were Messrs. John Allen, Towns-
bend, Shapley, Barnes, Foot, Gerrish, Batt, and Colledge•
An amendment moved by Mr. Batt, that in the document
to be addressed to the King, the word " Remonstrance"
should be substituted for " Address," was carried amidst a
perfect storm of applause. The resolution moved by Mr.
Allen, that a respectful but firm petition should be ad-
dressed to the representatives of the people by the meet-
ing, requesting them " to stop all supplies until the Reform
Bill was made the law of the land," was received with still
greater rapture.—Both Herald.
EDINBURGH.
From the Edinburgh Courant of Friday.)
Last night a numerous meeting took place in the large
Waterloo.room, with a view of making arrangements. for a
public meeting of the inhabitants, in order to express their
sentiments on the present state of public affairs. The
meeting was addressed by Mr, J. A. Murray, by Sir J.
Gibson Craig, and several others, when it was unani-
mously resolved that a public meeting should be held on
Tuesday first, for the purpose of petitioning the House of
Commons to refuse their support to any Ministry that
should be founded on the principle of obstructing or alter-
ing the present Bill for the Reform of Parliament, and, if
necessary, to withhold the supplies, ullttil the pr sent Re-
form Bill be passed into a law. About 400 or 500 persons
were present.

o'clock on Saturday afternoon, in a travelling chariot and four
,scorted by a detachment of the Ninth Lancers, from th.
Palace at Windsor. The Duke of Wellington was at th.

King do our work for us ?' Nothing valuable here below can
can be obtained without due pain and labour. If the Com-
mons of the empire are determined upon having Reform, they
have the means of obtaining it. Their strength lies, where
it was not wont to be looked for, in the county representa-
tion. The idea of a county contest was long a bugbear, and
justly so, when the expense was borne by two adverse noble
families. But Mr. Paget, in Leicestershire, and Lord
Brougham, in Yorkshire, have taught the small freeholders
their real importance, and have shown how titled wealth
may be driven from the field. When swarms of inde-
pendent yeomen repair to the county town at their own ex-
pense, and when a band of gentry bring in and on their carri-
ages each two or three poor but franchised neighbours to the
hustings, the unpopular candidate, who is sweated by attorneys
and agents and feasting committees, retires, wan and discom-
ated. Thus Mr. Wilson Patten, at the last general election,
was terrified to resignation by the mere vision of the Manches-
ter and Liverpool committees. This must be the guidance of
the Reformers throughout the kingdom at the ensuing election.
Similar exertions must be made in our own and all open bo-
roughs. Popular candidates must be aided by the gratuitous
exertions of the friends of the good cause. Nor must our
purses be spared upon just occasion. The aggregate of small
contributions will be signally efficient. The Whig aristocracy
have proved themselves unflinching friends of Reform ; and,
aided by the middle classes, in whose cause their leaders have
risked and lost the honour of office, they will procure the return
of a House of Commons which will have at its discretion
those constitutional resources which, without the coup d'etat
ofa creation, will convince the existing lords, spiritual and tern.
poral, that prudence will require, on their parts, a compliance
with the just demands of the people of the united empire.
" Renew, then, the committee which secured the return of
two Reformers for our county at the last general election.
Open a correspondence with Manchester, Bolton, and other of
our principal towns. Let every individuathe active in his

mediate sphere of influence. By systematic and well-organized
efforts victory will be secured. All depends, however, upon
speed and decision. That decision I confidently trust you will
evince upon the present all.importaut exigency ; and that,
impelled to a right course of action by you and the other
friends of Reform in Liverpool, the county of Lancaster will
give a glorious example to the other counties of the kingdom.
" I remain, your obedient servant,
" IVIII. SHEPHERD."

HUDDERSFIELD.

The conduct of this patriotic town, on the receipt of
the news of the defeat of the Ministers on the R-form Bill,
indicates very strongly the public feeling. At half-past six
o'clock the news was received by Mr. Moore. The infor-
mation was immediately communicated,—a meeting in-
stanter was held, the constable, Mr. James Booth, in the
chair,—and a petition with a great number of signatures,
praying the Lords to pass the Bill without impilatiou,
was despatched that night to London ; so that in less than
22 hours after the Lords had passed their ominous vote
against the Bill, there was a petition from a distance of
200 miles travelling back to them to warn them of the
danger in which they were involving themselves and their
country.—Leeds Mercury.
LYMINGTON, MAv 11.

A public meeting was held here this day, in put finance
of a notice for that purpose, signed by James Munro, Esq.,
th? Mayor, which was numerously attended ; and an ad-
dress to the King, praying his Majesty to recall his late
Ministers, and also a petition to the House of Commons,
praying them to withhold supplies from an Anti-Reform
Administration, were unanimously agreed to, and signed
by nearly 200 of the respectable inhabitants of the town
and neighbourhood, although notice of the ►meeting hail
been given only two hours previouly.

WINDSOR, MAY 11.

Yesterday Sir Hilgrove Turner arrived at the Castle, on a visit
to their .oajesties. The King showed him all the improvements
in the Castle, after which, accompanied by Sir Hilgrove, he took
a drive in his pony phaeton.
The Queen also took a drive, accompanied by Miss Wilson ;

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—The news of the resignation of Earl Grey and his col.
leagues arrived in Dudley on Thursday, and filled the inhabi.
tants with the greatest dismay and alarm. Early on the fol-
lowing morning a very numerous and highly respectable meet-
ing was held to consider of the proper steps to be taken in this
imminent and alarming crisis. A declaration was immediately
entered into by upwards of fifty gentlemen present, pledging
themselves to enter a political union, founded on the principles
of the Birmingham Political Union. It was unanimously de-
termined to call a meeting of the inhabitants of Dudley, to be
held at six o'clock on the same evening, to petition the House
of Commons to support the present Ministers in their places,
and to refusk the supplies until the Reform Bill is passed
whole and unmutilated. The notice was not published before
two o'clock, and in the course of four hours more than 5,000
persons were assembled in an open space in Dudley, being
joined by the band and banners of the Dudley Political Union,
and a large portion of the Members. They went in procession
from thence to Kate's Hill, the place of meeting. Mr. Lester
was in the chair. Resolutions and a petition to the House of
Commons, similar in effect to those passed at Birmingham, were
carried unanimously and with the greatest enthusiasm. The
meeting afterwards separated peaceably, after giving three
groans for the Bishops, and three cheers for Ministers.
I am, &c., A REFORMER.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, MAY 12.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

This has been a week of great excitement in Newcastle.
At an early hour on Wednesday morning we learnt, by an ex-
press from The Sun office, that Ministers had been defeated on
the Reform Bill in the Lords, and left in a minority of 35 on the
insidious amendment of Lord Lyndhurst. This gave rise to the
most gloomy forebodings. On Thursday night we heard that
the King had refused to create Peers ; the news was not cre-
dited. The people still anxiously hoped that the London
Evening Papers received on Friday morning would dispel the
clouds which appeared to be gathering in the political horizon.
Their hopes mere blasted. For a moment the inhabitants
seemed to be stunned by the blow, but they soon rallied. In
an hour or two a requisition was addressed to the chief magi-
strate, requiring him to call a public meeting, " to adopt such
measures as may be deemed expedient in the present eventful
state of public affairs." The requisition, though but a short
time in circulation, obtained the signatures of 200 individuals of
great respectability, comprising bankers, merchants, and many
of the most opulent tradesmen of the town. The Mayor has
appointed the meeting to be held in the Spital, on Tuesday
next, the 15th of May, at one o'clock. The members of the
Northern Political Union purpose attending " in multitude,
but in order." It will be a meeting worthy of Newcastle.
London, England, 1832-05-14

ST. MARY, ISLINGTON.

This meeting was held on Saturday. Mr. Rutt moved
that an address be presented to the King, praying his
Majesty to save the country, by the adoption of measures
for the passing of the Reform Bill. To this Mr. Hodgskin
objected, in forcible language, as utterly useless, addresses
having been voted over and over again to his Majesty,
without any good effect ; and moved, as an amendment,
that the words, " To hie Majesty" be omitted, and that
the address he presented to the House of Corn:nen', pray-
ing the refusal of all supplies until the Reform Bill becomes
a law of the land. The amendment was carried almost
unanimously, and marked by immense cheering. The
conduct of the " back stairs" party, and of the " German
women," was very powerfully exposed. A determinati,,n
nn the part of the meeting not to accept of any reform
which may be offered by a Tory Ministry was expressed ;
and if any such bill should be passed, to give the credit of
it exclveively to Lord Grey and his colleagues, of whose
consistent and independent conduct the country should
always entertain the highest sense. The rumour which
has been raised of his Majesty's intention to again dissolve
the Parliament was strongly deprecated, as will be seen
by the following resolution :—" That this meeting is
thorougly convinced that a dissolution of the present
Parliament would be fatal to the tranquillity of the
country, and would be (by whomsoever advised) deeply
deprecated by the whole empire." The thanks of the
meeting were voted to Earl Grey, Lord Althorp, and the
rest of their fellow-Ministers, for their firm, dignified, and
persevering conduct, in carrying the Reform Bill almost to
its accomplishment. The Tory boroughmongers were
spoken of as offal in the nostrils of the nation ; and a
petition to the House of Commons having been adopted,
and. three cheers for that assembly, and three groans for
the Lords, been given, in enthusiasm and in discord in-
creased by their unanimity, the meeting swparated.

NEW WRIT FOR AYLESBURY.

Lord NUGENT sail that, seeing the Hon. Member
for Sc. Germain's in his place, he was anxious to put a
question to him, as it was one in which the privileges of
the House were in some degree concerned. He (Lord
Ntuent) understood that the Hon. Member last night said,
that something which had fallen from him had left an im-
pression on the Hon. Gentleman's mind, that he ( Lord
Nugent) was no longer a Member of the House; and that
the Hon. Gentleman, in consequence, had moved a new
writ for Aylesbury.
Mr. C. ROSS s.id, he had no hesitation in saying,
that from the few words of conversation he hal with the
Noble Lord, he considered that the Noble Lord had ac-
cgpted the situation of Lord High Commissioner of the
lonian Islands. He (Mr. Ross) had, it appeared, mis-
understood the Noble Lord ; but having been requested
by some persons who were connected with the eltction for
the borough for which the Noble Lord sat, he had moved
for a new writ.
Lord NUGENT said that the words he had with the
Hon. Member had certainly been very few. The Hon.
Member had asked him at the bar whether he had ac-
ctpted office under the Crown, and be (Lord Nugent) bad
answered him distinctly that he had not. The Hon.
Member then asked him whether be intended to vote that
night or not, and his (Lord Nugent's) answer was, " Yes,
assuredly."—(Hear, bear.)
Mr. C. ROSS said, that seeing the Noble Lord retire
from the bar, when there was a motion for counting
the House, he had thought that confirmatory of the Noble
Lord's acceptance of office.

In consequence, as it is presumed, of a sug-
gestion on the part of the LORD CHANCELLOR and the
Holtz SECRETARY, the Commissioners of the Insolvent
Debtors' Court have given up their vacation of six weeks,
which would have commenced on the Ist of August. The
result of which arrangement will be the clearing the Lon-
don prisons of probably 200 persons confined for debt,
from one to two months earlier than would have otherwise
been the case, which, during the prevalence or appre-
hension of disease, is no unimportant matter. The
Learned Commissioners discharge their own duties with
credit ; it would be well if they would look after some of
the subalterns. The hours of attendance of the clerks in
the office are too few for the despatch of so much business
as is transacted in that Court—Times.

A number of Russians ome of them well
known on 'Change, together with other foreigners, whose
vocation it is to pick up knowledge respecting political affairl.
in this country, were present at the meeting held yester-
day at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. The persons we
particularly allude to took no part in the proceedings ul
the day, but appeared mere spectators of the business of
the as-embly.

FUNDS.

With the exception of the French mail and Estarette
from Paris, we have no arrivals this morning, and should
the wind continue easterly, we may expect the next in-
formation from Portugal via France. Our Funds are as
languid this morning as they were yesterday on 'Change.
Although the Stock Exchange is open, Consols are at the
same price as yesterday, 83 for the account, with nothing
doing as yet.
We do not hear of any new cases of cholera this morning.
The Foreign Market is void of the least interest.
Our accounts this morning both from Holland and
Belgium are pacific, and we are assured that the affairs
are in a fair way of hieing adjusted. At Antwerp 30 cases
of cholera had taken place.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
With the exception of the favourable reports from Hol-
land, in regard to an amicable adjustment of the long-
pending negotiations, we have no other political news at
present. Since the early part of the morning, when Consols
were 83, there has been more animation in the market,
and Consols have been done at 83i to I for the account,
The Budget, which is to be brought forward to-morrow,
causes some excitement in regard to the financial measures
which will he adopted by Ministers.
In the Foreign Market the Dutch Stock has rather im-
proved.

It is reported that the cholera is on board the Dutch fleet.
