It seems that the dissentients to the plan for the conver
sion of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are to be punished
for their fractiousness. They will have the income-tax de-
ducted from their October dividends. Those who assented
are relieved from the impost.
The commercial advices from the 'West Indies received
this morning are not of any importance. The amount of
the precious metals brought by the Forth is not by any meaas
so considerable as by the Thames, but which, in fact, con-
veyed a larger sum in bullion, gold dust, &c., than was ever
before placed upon record. The weather was fine in most
of the Vest India Islands.
The Amercantile letters from the Brazils are not of
much interest. Many are the complaints of the want
of liberality on the part of the British Government
in not conceding points in favour of a more free inter-
course of manufactures and products between each coun-
try. "It is scarcely possible (says a Correspondent) to
limit the requirements of this country (Brazil) for British
goods, if you will take our sugar upon more liberal terms
than are imposed at present."
From Ilayti, we learn that affairs remained in as bad a
state as ever. Anarchy and confusion was the order of the
day. The dates are much later than those received before.
Several ships of war bad been ordered to the spot to protect
British subjects and property. At Cuba affairs too are in a
bad state; several British subjects had been imprisoned for
alleged political offences.
This was pay-day in the Consol Market. We have not
heard of any failures. Consols for the Account, as well as 1
for Money, have just been quoted at an advance to 99k.
Exchequer Bills are at 765. 78s. premium; India Bonds are
at 955. premium; Bank Stock is at 1991; and the Reduced
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1021.
Business has been brisk in the Foreign Market, but the
quotations are about the same as yesterday. Spanish Three
per Cents, are at 353- i ; Portuguese for the Account at 451 ;
Russian at 119 ; and Mexican at Mi.
The demand for the Railway Shares has improved, and so
have most of the prices, as our corrected list will show.
