ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE
KING OF PRUSSIA.
PARIS, TUESDAY, JULY 30.

The 26th of July, at the moment when the King
of Prussia was about to set out on a journey, an
assassin, named Tscheck, burgomaster at a little
village some leagues from Berlin, fired a pistol. The

any mischief. The King continued his journey. The

The Committee of the South American Bondholders have
had a further correspondence with the agent of the Govern-
ment of New Granada, M. Mosquera, resident in this
country, upon the subject of the too long delayed payment of
the interest due from New Granada, upon that portion of the
Colombian Loans assigned by consent to the republic before
named. It will be recollected that so far back as March, 1842, an
agreement was entered into by the agents of the bondholders,
under which terms were named for the settlement of their
claims, but up to the present moment not a dollar has yet
been handed over to the foreign creditors of New Gre-
nada. M. Mosquera admits that he has received no
orders from his Government to pay over any sums to
those who have so long standing claims on that
country. It is not, we believe, to be denied, but that there
are some assets here, but at the came time it can hardly be
credited that a sufficient sum has yet been received to
pay anything like a • dividend to the holders of
I New Granada Bonds, the dividends upon which
have been in arrear since the month of May,
1826. Still it is conceived that M. Mosquera might, without
a breach of his official duty, have told the Committee of
Spanish American Bondholders the actual amount that had
been received by him, in aid of a fund for paying a portion
of the interest upon the stock allocated to the Republic.
A meeting of the shipping interests is at the present
moment being held at the Hall of Commerce, to receive a
report from the Committee of the Ship-owners Society
touching various matters connected with this im-
portant branch of the mercantile marine. At pre-
sent we are only enabled to say that the attention
of all those interested in ships, colonies, and commerce,should
be directed to the report which was brought forward this
afternoon.

A meeting of the South Sea Proprietors is now being held
to consider the propriety of accepting the terms of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, as they have already appeared in
The Sun. The proprietors are ready to agree to the
first proposition—the Guarantee Fund completion—but
will take time to decide upon another point—the
future management of the South Sea Stock, and
Annuities—and the countenance of the Company should
be given before coming to a definite conclusion. The Directors
of the Bank of England are ready to take the management
of the South Sea Stock at the reduced charge.
The Funds are dull to-day. The Tahiti affair affords a
pretext for keeping the market a little fiat, though an
amicable arrangement is generally predicted. Consols are
99a A for Money and Time. Exchequer Bills obtain 775. to
795. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 200 to A. The Com-
inissioners have taken 10,000/. Reduced Three per Cents. at
1001. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 102 to
102 i, and the Reduced 103 to A.
The Foreign Bonds continue to wear a heavy appearance.
Spanish Five per Cents. are 22,4 3, and the Three per Cents.
33i to 33i. Portuguese Converted obtain 441 to 43i. Mexi-
can Deferred are 16, Colombian 13i, and Brazilian 84k.
Buenos Ayres Stock is 36 ; Belgian Bonds realise 1031, and
Dutch Five per Cents. 101 i to 1011.
The Railway Shares have been rather more fluctuating, on
account of the settlement, but generally they are well sup-
ported.
