THE ADMIRALTY PACKETS.

Our correspondent e aus the following with refer-
ence to the inefficient Admiralty packets:—
" Referring to my letter of the 12th instant, in which
I mentioned that several of the Bombay passengers
then in our lazaretto waiting the arrival of the Merlin
packet from Murseill:,s bad not up to to that time been
silL,tted berths in that ship to Alexandria, I must now

inform you thet upon her arrival the pay s, ngers were, after
come considerable trouble, accommodaxd by her. although
by a %alit of management that cannot be ove.rlotled the
berths of Mr and Mrs. Sewell and Mr. and Mrs. Trotter
were tkuropriated to others, notwithstanding those par-
ties had come from Marseillt a in the Merlin, and there-
fore were thus comp, lied to remain behind. Mr. Davis,
ortr of the Bombay passergers, had the prospect of lying
en the table during the trip, which ocLupies at least four
days.

I cannot but consider it a duty to the public that the
present Government steam-vessels, as rackeis on this
station, should be brought to th' nutic c f the Admiralty.
and their want of accommodation, and almost of delicacy
made. known. Eighteen ladies are placed in one cabin,
aT,d in some of ti!e vessels the berths iu these cabins
are not oven shut off by a curtain! Then there are two
six-berth cabins, and two of four bertha for gentlemen;
and here terminates the capacity for berthing passengers,
on a line whore frequently fifty or sixty passengers are
anxious to go forward. Vessels of a different class are
required. So long as the present packets continue on
this station, so long will the passenger traffic, for want
of proper accommodation on board, fall into foreign
marines, and the inhabitants of Malta deplore the loss
of a branch of trade heretofore providing bread fur hun-
dreds of the poorer claises."—Herald.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—We are requested to con-
tradict a statement announcing Captain Cospatrick
l3aillie Hamilton as likely.to commission the Amphitrite,
26-gun corvette, at this port. There is no foundation
wh.ttever for such announcement.

The Sir Robert Seppings convict-ship arrived at Spit-
head yesterday from London to embark convicts from
this port for the penal settlements.
The Southampton, American line-of-packet abip, ar-
rived to-day from London, en route to New York.
The Hogue, 60, Captain Macdougel, has been removed
from the basin and taken alongside the Blake hulk to
complete refit.
The Phaeton '5O, Captain Elliot, has received another
foremast, and been taken into the angle dock to-day to
have her bottom overhauled and broomed down.
The Victory, 104, Captain F. P. Blackwood, flag of
Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Capel, K.C.8., Com-
mander-in-Chief, has been paid off this day. She will
be re-commissioned to-morrow under the new Admiralty
reg alai ions.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—It is reported that a court-
martial will take place here shortly to inquire into the
cause of the death of Nichols, a seaman, shot on board
her Majesty's frigate Inconstant, Captain John Shep-
pard, for attempting to make his escape from that ship
when lying at California.
Letters dated Port Mahon, Nov. 14, have been received
here from her Majesty's ship Caledonia. She was to sail
on the 28th for Barcelona and Sicily.
John Stamp, seaman, 18, of Exmouth, was landed here
to-day by Mr. Eddy, pilot. He belonged to the schooner

running her ashore. The gale blew violently from
the north, and the foretopicastattiyeatl being hoisted,
just -paid her off, 'she weathered round Bella-
davy-head, and got into comparatively smoother
water. With 'an effort to save the ship, the
weather-anchor was let go, and eighty fathoms of chain
paid out. She lay thus for about a quarter of an hour,
when the sea became so violent that the chain snapped.
The starboard anchor was then let go, but before suffi-
cient chain could be paid out, she struck on the ground,
it being then half-past six o'clock, and was immediately
bearded by. a heavy sea, which broke the companion,
cleared decks, and washed overboard and drowned one
man, George Garland, 25, a native of Fehuouth. The
crew then lashed themselves, as well as they ware able,

but there was no volunteers to return in the boisterous
sea to the forlorn seamen. After waiting in great
anxiety three-quarters of an hour, and finding there
was no intention to help them, they stripped, and drop-

orlop decks both finished, with the exception of a narrow
space left in the centre tor the purpose of ventilation, end
tkte vessel is altogether in so advanced a state that there
would be very little difficulty, if a moderate number of
extra band, were employed, to have her ready for launch-
jog during the next summer. The Royal Albert is 700
tons larger, than any of the first-rate ships-of-war in the
royal navy, and being named after his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, the launch of this splendid vessel in the
presence of her Majesty and all the Royal Family would
make a grand and appropriate finale, were it arranged to
take place in the last week previous to the close of the
Great Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations in 1851.
The vessel while on the stocks, in a nearly finished state
for launching, would be an otject of great attraction to
thousands from the interior of the country who have
never seen a man-of-war, and certainly none to be com-
pared to the Royal Albert for symmetry of form and
great strength of the timbers when put together.

DEATH OF LADY JOHN HAY.
DEVONPORT, Nov. 30.—A melancholy gloom has
been cast over the dockyard and neighbourhood by the
almost sudden death of Lady John Hay, which took
place this morning, about a quarter before seven o'clock.
Her Ladyship bad been unwell for some time, and the
noble and gallant commodore bas recently been on six
weeks' leave with her Ladyship at Brighton, for the
change of air. Since their return Lady John has been
attended by Dr. Yonge, of Plymouth, who saw her on
Friday, when it was considered she was nothing worse.
In fact, her Ladyship walked out in the garden only a
day or two before, when her domestics and friends were
rejoicing that she appeared so much better. After six
o'clock, however, this morning her Ladyship felt worse,
and although no danger was apprehended, the surgeon
of the dockyard was called in, but her Ladyship slept off
into eternity, almost without pain, at the time above
mentioned.

Since her Ladyship's sojourn here, her generous dispo•
sitiou has been most actively and extensively mani-
fested. She was the president of the Female Orphan
Asylum at Stoke, and a supporter of various charitable
institutions. Her loss will be severely felt in this neigh-
bourhood, and the public sympathy with her noble and
gallant husband is universal.
Her Ladyship's complaint was water on the chest.

ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION.
DUBLIN, Dec. I.—Fourteen additional petitions
were filed up to the 28th ult., making the gross total
since the commencement of operations 1,402 The
last list presents such a variety in the value or rentals

of 601. per annum, is charged with 4,3661. incum-

only other property of note is that of Colonel Steele
Hawthorne, who is petitioner as well as owner. The
estate, which is in the county of Duwne, is valued at
1,0041. per annum, while the liabilities are under
12,000/., the interest being regularly paid up to the
time of filing the petition. This latter is altogether
the most desirable speculation that appears on the face
of the last list of incumbered properties.

SALE OP DARRYINANE ABBEY.
The Evening Packet has some remarks, written in
a kindly spirit, respecting the fallen fortunes of the
family of the man who " but a few y ears ago stood
among us, possessed, probably, of more individual in-
fluence and authority than any private person in the
world." After touching gently on the decline and
fall of " the Liberator," the Packet proceeds to tell
this sad tale :

" It was Mr. O'Connell's ambition, and a laudable ear,
too, provided it was controlled by prudence, to imitate in
every respect a good old Irish gentleman. The hospi-
table gates of Darrynane-abbey were always open, not
only to the friend, the stranger, or the traveller, but
even to his political opponents. And the only absolute
law that controlled the guests was that which forbade the
introduction at his table of political topics. And long
will the cordial welcome and cheerful hospitality of the
AbLey be remembered in the south of Ireland. But
these pleasant days are now passed, and we regret very
much that the distress which has overtaken the landlords
of Ireland has at length found its way to the halls of the
Liberator. At a she 's sale at Darrynane, some time
since, the whole of the splendid furniture and other
household goods wore sold for the sum of 3641. 3s. Bd.,
and were bought in by the National Bank of Ireland.
The goods wore left there pending some contemplated
arrangements, but they were again recently brought to
the hammer by the sheriff. The purchase of the furni-
ture by the National Bank has been impeached as frau-
dulent, and on application to the Court an issue was
granted last week to try the fact by a jury. All the rest
of the property will be sold as a matter of course. Alas.,
how are the mighty fallen! The prices at which the
imagined
from Bank bought the furniture may be

PROPOSED STEAM LINE FROM LIVERPOOL TO
QUEBEC.—Our American files contain the following notice
oft his project, which, it will be remembered, was uromirgated
in our columns some months ago. We quote a Toronto let-
ter :-- Isaac Buchanan, a merchant prince, and a somewhat
visionary politician, is pushing forward a scheme for getting
up a line of steamers to run between Montreal and Glasgow.
Stock is being subscribed for this purpose in various parts of
Canada. The proposed enterprise does not appear yet to
have awakened a great deal of enthusiasm. It is, however,
precisely one of those enterprises fer which British capital
would be readily obtainable, once it shall be demonstrated
that it would pay.—kiverpoo/ "Won.

to us in her behalf with all the eloquence of those blessed
home associations surrounding the least and highest
amongst us, from the QUEEN in her palace to the
peasant in her cottage. Not to the most callous
amongst us should those earnest entreaties be ad-
dressed in vain, coming to us as they do in those
piercing tones of anguish which are wrung from the
survivors of the murdered. Every consideration, in
short, combines to force upon the public sympathy
the affliction of the unhappy lady, now left alone
in the world to watch over the interests of
her ehildren. From among the clerical body espe-
cially she may reasonably look for that earnest and
practical condolence which we have already specified
—her case coming home of course with peculiar
meaning to the bosom of their domestic circles. From
them she may look for the assistance which would
come from that quarter with particular grace, taking
into account the sympathies of position and the gentle
feelings inspired by uniting at once the practice and
the preaching of Christianity. Among the ecclesi•
astics of the Established Church are numbered many
conspicuous for their virtues and their bene.
ficence, men exemplary in their lives and
admirable in all their relations to society,
from whose generosity the persons interested in con-
ducting this testimonial to Mrs. HOLLEST may con-
fidently expect assistance. Nor will their anticipa-
tions, we are satisfied, be disappointed in this particular.
The wealthier class of the clergy especially will
participate, we feel assured, with becoming alacrity,
in a cause so eminently calculated to elicit their ap-
proval. With them, moreover, will be united, we
believe and are sanguine, a very large section, indeed,
of the lay community—our hopes in this regard being
confirmed by the reflection that the griefs of Mrs.
HOLLEST appeal, in the very first instance, to the
kindliness and humanity of her sex, that
sex which has been called the gentler sex from
the greater delicacy of its sensibilities, that sex the
most bewitching charm of which—its tender-hearted-
ness—has just been vindicated, as we have observed,
by the loftiest lady in the land, our beloved and gra-
cious SOVEREIGN.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

At'inine, A.M. of the eleventh inst., the doors of the
Chamber were thrown open, and the room was quickly
filled with the most distinguished ladies of the capital.
At the end of the table was placed a throne surrounded
by a canopy, and in the middle of the room an arm-
chair for the QUEEN. At ten, the Metropolitan
Neaphite put on his ecclesiastical robes, and conse-
crated the hall. At eleven the firing of artillery an-
nounced the departure of the QUEEN from the palace.
The senators, amounting to thirty, and the deputies
to thirty-five, were in readiness to receive the QuEEN.
At ten minutes past eleven, the central door was
thrown open, and the QUEEN announced, followed by
her Ministers, immediately ascended the throne
dressed in Greek costume. The QUEEN saluted the
Assembly, and sitting down, pronounced in a clear
and distinct voice the following :
" Gentlemen Deputies, Gentlemen Senators,—On our
again meeting here under the guidance of the Most
High, let us address to Him our prayers, and invoke
His divine assistance. It is pleasing for me to take the
present opportunity of solemnly declaring that the na-
tion has fulfilled all the wishes of the King, which his
Majesty expressed the day he bid adieu to the Chamber
—this conduct, which does honour to the country, will
afford the greatest satisfaction to the King. The assist-
ance during the absence of his Majesty which I have re-
ceived from all classes of the nation has deeply increased
my love for it. The King, on his return to the bosom
of his country, will have fresh motives to love and
honour such faithful subjects. It is with pleasure I an-
nounce that the relations of my Government with other
foreign Powers still continue the same. Gentlemen, you
are about to commence your important duties; on this
occasion I have only one request to make; devote your-
selves with all your hearts to the common interests of
your country; aid 'willingly the Government of your
King in all matters tending to the welfare of the public,
having constantly in view, and sole guide, the interest
of the state. Advance now with seal the undertaking
for which we have assembled, and implore the blessing
of Heaven and its protection. I now declare open the
first session of the third legislature."—(Loud cries of
" Long live the King and Queen " resounded from all
parts).
The QUEEN then rose, and saluted with charming
grace the Assembly, and retired. The Assembly
then separated.

It is from our solicitude that the beautiful example
here revealed to her subjects by the QUEEN may not
be altogether fruitless, that we have in this express and
emphatic manner directed attention to an act of
personal beneficence. Fervently do we hope that our
intentions may be fulfilled, and that the subscription
list opened in behalf of Mrs. HOLLEST, and headed
by the name of her :MAJESTY, may rapidly extend i❑
a manner capable of rendering the amount
collected together really beneficial to the object of the
testimonial. Otherwise the benevolent endeavour of
its► originators would in the most painful manner be
frustrated—the sum proving rather an insult from its
insufficiency, than a benefit from its magnitude.
That such a disastrous result awaits the undertaking
in question we are certain will not prove the case—the
catalogue of contributors already yielding promise of
the happiest consequences. By this means the poignant
sorrows of the widowed lady of the unfortunate Mr.
IioLLEsT may in some measure be alleviated. By
this means the outrage inflicted upon an innocent
family in consequence of the remissness of the local
authorities, may be in a fair way to be followed by
sympathy for the victims as well as by punishment
for the offenders. By this means, moreover, not only
the majesty of human laws but the majesty of
human benevolence may be vindicated.

Every day's experience proves, beyond the possi-
bility of dispute, that the great and all-important
question of Currency Reform is making considerable
progress in the country. The agriculturists more
especially are beginning to discover the true source
of their depressed condition, and the nature of the
remedies likely to produce effectual relief. It is
true that some still cling with desperate fidelity to the
old regime of protective imposts, that the
restoration of the bygone monopoly appears the
Alpha and Omega of their aspirations. Others ,
perceiving the utter hopelessness of the attempt to
induce the people again to submit to the monster
grievance, and voluntarily to bend their necks to the
yoke from which by superhuman exertions they have
happily relieved themselves, advocate extensive re-
ductions of rents, tithes, and taxes, not the 10 or 16
per cent., which well-disposed and wealthy landlords,
whose pecuniary resources enable them to submit to
such sacrifices, return at the audit, but from 30 to 50
per cent., which would involve the great majority
of the landowners, encumbered as they are with
heavy fixed payments, in absolute ruin, curtail
and reduce the national establishments to an extent
incompatible with efficiency, and render the punctual
liquidation of the interest on the public debt impos-
sible ; while others, more sagacious, and entering
more deeply into the real conditions of the question,
demand a repeal of our iniquitous currency laws and
of the restrictions that unduly affect the circu-
lating medium, and the establishment of free
trade in money as well as in commodities. This
clear-headed and intelligent section is ac-

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
They all comment on M. GUIZOT'S publication of
the preface to Morm. Scarcely any of them regard
it with an eye of favour. The Bonapartist Patric
complains of it as a breach of the contract entered
into between the Bourbonists of both classes and the
Buonapartists, to adjourn the consideration of their
differences until the spring, in order to de-
vote their undivided energies to the Judas-
like task of betraying the Republic to
which they have sworn fidelity. Neither
Bonapartists, Legitimatists, nor Orleanists are over-
pleased with M. GUIZOT for his endeavour to raise
into a position of even still greater importance that
mysterious CHANGARNIER,WhOM, FRANKENSTEIN-like,
they have created, but whom they cannot understand,
and whom they alike dread and hate. It is evident
that the cautious M. GUIZOT has been for once too
candid, and has given utterance to the hopes and plots
of the Monarchists before the proper time had arrived
for their divulgement. The Republican journalists
comment in severe terms on the impudence of the
whole affair. The National says—
•' We think, for our part, that when a capital like
Paris has proclaimed on the barricades the Republic,
when all the departments of France accepted that Re-
public, when they sent 9CO representatives to found a
republican constitution, and when that constitution was
unanimously voted, the last Minister of the monarchy,
culpable, in the eyes of the Republicans, of having
made an attack on liberty, came forward with a bad
grate, at the end of three years, to ask if the Republic
can be founded. But M. Guizot conceives that he is very
kind in asking the question. With his habits of think-
ing, he cannot hesitate on the choice of a master; but
will France give herself to the masters whom she drove
out in 1830, or to those whom she drove out in 1850;
that is the whole question for M. Guizot. He at one
moment has said—' Shall we have a Washington or a
Monk?' but he demonstrates, as he believes, that we
have not in France the stuff to make a Washington of;
Monk therefore remains. Where is he? Every one is
to say: at the Tuileries: Meek is M. Changarnier, and
Charles 11. is a prince of the house of Bourbon.
M. Guizot does not choose at present between Clare-
mont at Wiesbaden, he only pronounces against the
Republic and against the Empire. He traces out the
conduct to be pursued by M. Changarnier, who is to
preserve his authority, giving way apropos as at Satory,
and resisting apropos as in the matter of General Neu-
=yen He is to preserve his post at the head of the
army, and to bear in mind that the old Monk had two
talents—to temporise and to lie. M. Cbangarnier's
farce depends on two causes—he leans for support on the
Royalists, nod is necessary to the Bonapartists. Let these
latter send him away, and their party falls on the in-
stant; let them guard him, and he will wear them out.
W hen the great name, under the shade of which France
makes a halt, shall have lost all prestige, M. Changarnier
will only have to bring back in triumph M. Guizot and
his pupil. His motto will be as it was Monk's,' Victor
sine sanguine ;' the revolution of February will have
been only a dream. And Richard Cromwell, what
of him? M. Guizot is not less explicit for him
than for M. Changarnier. He carries his harshness
to insult; Richard's debts will be paid; that is all the
gratitude which the monarchy feels—for I also
publish,' says M. Guiteet, ' a letter addressed, a fortnight
before the Restoration, by Richard Cromwell to Monk.
When the Parliament meets, you will have the kindness
to use Soul• credit to have certain debts paid, which I
cannot conscientiously look on as mine. For I have in
you this confidence, that if I ought to judge myself but
little worthy of great thiuga, yon will not judge me
worthy of complete ruin? Singular mixture of modesty,
almost humble, and of a reminiscence of greatness!'
Atter having read this preface, we will give M. Guizot
but one encomium—he is frank."

There have been some disturbances at Argentiere,
in the department of the Ardeche. Tranquillity,
however, has been restored.

There were rumours yesterday in Paris of the dis-
covery of various Legitimatist plots.
The Prefect of Police has ordered the Passage de
l'Opera to be cleared every evening, in order to pre-
vent stock jobbing from being carried on there after
the Bourse is closed. The following notice has been
affixed at the .Bourse

" The assemblages under the name of ' Cercle au Pas-
sage de l'Opera' are already known to the public. It is
also known that before the opening and after the closing
of the Bourse sales of public stock are wont to take
place there, and it is, in fact, a sort of branch establishment
of the Bourse. It is not necessary to insist on the dangers of
the operations in the spotreferred to—operations without
any serious character, and often in consequence of false
or true rumours of which jobbing is the life and soul.
At all events such a practice is an infraction of the re-
gulations of the Bourse, which is specially set apart for
the operations in the public funds, effected through
the agency of brokers instituted by law, and which alone
present guarantees of the publicity the administration
owes to interests of every kind. The Prefect of Police
has therefore prohibited Bourse operations in the Pas-
sage do l'Opera, and has ordered that those which took
place at the Bourse alter the hour fixed by its regula-
tions, shall cease."

quiring strength every day. The currency
question now forms the chief topic of discussion at
the meetings of the farmers' clubs ; the new views
are listened to attentively and respectfully. Speakers
may proclaim their adhesion to free-trade doctrines
without their words being drowned in storms of in-
dignant hisses, and themselves driven with ignominy
from the platform ; nay, on a division, as many
voices will be uplifted against as in favour of import
duties on agricultural produce. This is an im-
portant sign, an auspicious omen. The moment
the people seriously apply themselves to obtaining
a tangible and practicable reform that will benefit all
classes in the community, and not be for the exclusive
advantage of any clique or section, that moment augurs
their ultimate triumph. The Legglature cannot re-
sist the voice of public opinion firmly but temperately
expressed.

We recently alluded in laudatory terms to the
proceedings of the Burton and Trent Farmers' Club,
and the able address of the excellent chairman•
Mr. GISBORNE, showing that the great deside-
ratum, to which all their exertions should
be directed, was the re-enactment of the monetary
code, under which all classes enjoyed real prosperity
in the beginning of the present century, notwith-
standing the enormously heavy war expenditure, and
the unceasing drain on the national resources. It
now .becomes our no less pleasing duty to direct the
public attention to the meeting of farmers resident in
the southern division of Norfolk and the northern
division of Suffolk, held at Harleston on
Wednesday last, in which THOMAS LUCOMBB
TAYLOR, Esq., of Stanton, a faithful and
consistent Free-trader, occupied the chair, and
enlightened the assembly with a clear and lucid expo-
sition of the causes that have led to the present un-
towardstate of affairs, and the ruin that is impending—
and we say it, with deep regret and earnest sympathy
—over the agricultural interest.

Like Mr. SAMUEL A. GODDARD, and many other
nfluential Free-traders, Mr. TAYLOR long perceived
;he close and intimate connexion between corn and
currency. He believed that if the principles of free
trade were true, exceptions ofany kind were erroneous,
and that if partial exceptions, such as those on corn,
iron, silks, or cotton, could not be justified, the re-
striction on gold—the medium of exchange of all
articles—was still more objectionable, and that so long
as the price of gold was fixed, and our internal cur-
rency dependent on its possession, free trade in other
respects was a mockery and delusion. Mr. TAYLOR,
then, while he advocated the abolition of protective
imposts, strenuously urged " the revision of our mone-
tary laws and the reduction of taxation," and he still
maintains these opinions, in which every sincere and
disinterested Free-trader, who does not desire to ad-
"ranee the interest of a class at the expense of the
remainder of the community, participates. Conscious'
of the justice of his cause, he invites discussion—de-
sires that all persons shall advance their opinions
freely, and without concealment, together with the
reasons by which he is influenced. This is the
great object to be attained—truth must be
promoted thereby. An acute commentator on
HOYLE informs whist students that there should

There was considerable excitement created at the

the Prefect of Police, announcing that in future tlae
coulissiers or jobbers for time bargains are no
longer to be permitted* to assemble as they
were accustomed to do in the great hall. The Bourse

Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have arrived.
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on the
previous day M. BRAVO Munini.o, during the discus-
sion on the address, entered into lengthened details on
the financial state of the country, and held out very
flattering promises for the future. According
to the statement of the Minister of Finance, the
deficit for the present year will only amount to
thirty millions of reels, and he expressed his
opinion that the direct taxes would not be increased
next year. The Duke of VALENTIA, the President of
the Council, also gave explanations relative to the state
of the country, and maintained that prudence, mode-
ration, and wisdom had influenced all the acts of the
Ministry. He strongly denied the justness of a re-
proach that had been addressed to the Ministry, of
having shown weakness in their foreign policy, and
maintained on the contrary, that the dignity of the
nation had been always supported. The address was
voted by a very large majority.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 6,000 bales, of which 1.000 American were
taken on speculation. The sales comprised 500 Fenian]
and Maranham at Bd. to 9d., 200 Egyptian at 8/d. to 9d.,
and 500 Surat at qd. to sitd. per lb. The market closed
firmly with prices of all kinds of American against the
buyer.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at
higher prices.
From Liverpool Messrs. Joseph Robinson and Co. re-
port concerning the wool market that, throughout last
month, the demand has been limited, occasioned by the
threatening aspect of affairs on the Continent, which has
struck a degree of fear into several of the manufactu-
rers, and given them a pretest for attempting to reduce
prices. Under ordinary circumstances, their object
would have been achieved; but the heavy consumption
of the year, the healthiness of the trade, with its cheer-
ing prospects, and the limited supply of all descriptions,
causes en apparent indifference on the part of holders
to real!ze; the result is, that the market closes more
firmly, and many classes of low wools have further
advanced.

The Manchester market during the past month is de-
scribed by Messrs. McNair, Greenhow, and Irving, in
the following terms:—" We have it iu our power to re-
port the existence of transactions during the month of
great magnitude. India, China, and other Eastern
markets, with the improved condition of those in Brazil,
Spanish America, and the British West Indies,—as re-
gards the latter a gratifying fact considering the very
severe transition which they have had to undergo,—have
required considerable, in the aggregate large, operations
to be entered into. To these must be added, considering
the season of the year, November being proverbially in-
active in that respect,—a comparatively unexpected extent
of business for the country trade.
" The outward and real appearances of the market
during the month hive been of a sluggish and mono-
tonous character, unrelieved save by the more favour-
able appearances of matters on the Continent, and the
somewhat telling accounts from the United States, for
the time being, of disastrous frosts and other fatalising
accompaniments with respect to cotton. The former
have so far proved fallacious; and the latter by subse-
quent tidings have induced holders of the article in this
country, generally, to become willing sellers, and to ac-
' cept rates lower than those ruling a month ago.
" Prices have, under all the circumstances, been sus-
tained with remarkable firmness. As will be seen,
however, by a reference to our quotations, they have
gives way in many cases to a trifling extent both as re-
gards cloth and yarns. The concession made by spinners
and manufacturers has not proceeded from any necessity
to realize from the existence of stocks, but trona a na-
tural and general desire on the part of each to secure the
possession of orders, in preference to continuing to pro-
duce for stock at the present price of the raw material."
The cane is represented as being in a very flourishing
condition this year in Cuba, and it is expected that the
harvest will be much more plentiful than the last. In
some estates they do not expect to be able to grind up
all the corn grown.
Late Lima papers furnish details of an attempt which
had been made upon the life of General Belza, Presi-
dent of Bolivia. While walking, on the 6th of Septem-
ber, with Colonel Laguna, President cf the Senate,
Don Augustin Morales, and others, a student named
Juan Sotomayer fired a pistol, which wounded Belza in
the face. As he fell, another pistol was fired by Mo-
rales, but the ball only slightly grazed him. Some slight
attempt at a revolution appears subsequently to have
been made, but without success. The origin of the affair
is imputed to General Ballivian, formerly President of
the Republic, who, with his partisans, had withdrawn
from the country. The President of the Senate Colo-
nel Laguna, was implicated in the conspiracy, and con-
demned to be shot. The sentence was carried into
effect on the 13th of September. Morales and Sotomayer
has also been similarly sentenced.
The letters received this morning from the Continent
quite bear out yesterday's anticipations. A rapid reac-
tion is occurring in the quotations of Public Securities,
and the value of the precious metals is again tending
downwards.

The greater buoyancy which yesterday prevailed in
the Stock market has continued, and there is an increased
disposition to make investments. The announcement
thatahe danger of a Continental war is past acts upon the
more timid, and will induce parties whohave been specu-
lating fur a rise to act very cautiously, and probably to
close gradually in anticipation of a rise which many con-
sider not to be improbable, as in the course of a week
the dividend will be deducted from the quotation of
Consols, thus making them about 96, if we
take the present value 01 974 for Transfer. In time
bargaining, however; there is a difference, as six weeks
hare to elapse before the January settlement,
and accordingly the quotations for that period
are 971 Bank Stock is worth 212 to
Exchequer-bills have been marked 655. to
68s. premium, being the fprmer quotations. India Bonds
are 863. to 88s. premium. Long Annuities have been
at 71;.
In the Foreign Market the transactions have been at
very full rates, but there is not quite so much doing.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 184, and the
Passive Bonds 31. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
realized 34. Peruvian Four-and-a-Halt per Cents. have
been quoted 794, and the Deferred 354. Mexican Stock
has been at 321 a further slight advance. Russian
Bonds look better, the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. being
9614. Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. have been 561.
Railway Shares have been very buoyant again,
and there has been a large business done in
them. North-Western have maintained the rise to
19i and 20 premium, and Midland have been as high as
44. North British have been in favour at an advance to
8, and South-Eastern have been es high as 214, though
since done at 204 and 21. Great Northern are attract-
ing attention, and small but numerous purchases are
stated to have been made within the last few days for
investment. Blackwall are a shade better, and
there have been large dealings in South-Western, owing
to the assertion that a saving will be effected of 30,0001.,
equal to if per cent, upon the dividend, in working the
line. The foreign lines are brisker and at fuller values.
Sambre and Meuse have been at 3, Lnd Northern of
France have run up to 14i. Namur and Liege, how-
ever, are rather heavy. United Mexican Mine Shares
are firm at 61.

This case, which wes part beard yesterdelt

be remembered that the action is brought to 12 sge
validity of a will made by the late Sir Gregolopeof
Turner, a gentleman possessed of large landed Proof,
in Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire, and Kent. The teeefsg°
who was always a man of eccentric habits, became 1806'

a change for the better. A few years after
