which they are in like manner debarred, in a great
measure, by the same übiquitous spirit of monopoly.

Accounts from Madrid of the 23d state, that the
two QUEENs, with the INFANTA, had arrived at
Amanas on the 22d, and were to set out next day for
Valencia. The Government were proceeding with
the organisation of the cavalry, which was to be com-
posed of 18 regiments. The total effective strength
will be 12,420 men and 10,584 horses.

The Three per Cents. were done at 29i for cash,
and 291 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 20/
at 60 days.

The discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies
on foreign affairs was continued on Wednesday. M.
TIIIERS spoke on that day, and made only a few re-
marks on the affair of Otaheite, in which he
,blamed
the Ministry—first, for going there at all ; secondly,
for not foreseeing the difficulties Admiral DUPETIT
TIIOUARS would have to encounter; and, thirdly, for
disavowing him. He then referred to the policy pur-
sued by the Cabinet with regard to the French at
Monte Video, where the forces of France were actu-
ally the auxiliaries of the ferocious Roses; drew a
parallel between the two Governments of Monte
Video and Buenos Ayres; and presented the most
frightful picture of the atrocities committed by
ROSAS. Most of the facts he mentioned had been
supplied to him by M. BASELLA, the Envoy of the
Montevideans to the English Government, and might
consequently be relied upon as true. Monte Video,
on the contrary, was governed by a regular and
humane Administration, which was favourably dis-
posed towards France. He blamed the French Consul
at Monte Video for not asserting the rights of his
countrymen, amounting to nearly eighteen thousand,
and paid a high complirrient to the English Commo-
dore I'URVES, who had adopted a far different course.
"When ORIBE," continued M. TRIERS, "published
the barbarous proclamation in which he declared that
all strangers should be treated like the savage Uni-
tarians, the Commodore wrote to him that his pro-
clamation was worthy of a pirate of the coast of Bar-.
bary, and summoned him to disavow it. ORIBE
replied that .the English were to be excepted; but
this declaration did not satisfy the English officer,
who insisted on the withdrawal of the proclamation,
to which ORIBE acceded." (Here M. TRIERS was in-
terrupted by the Minister of Marine, who stated that
it was Admiral MessrEu DE CLERVAL who had taken
the initiative, and been the first to protest against
ORIBE'S proclamation.) " Yes,". replied M. THIERS,
" but he did not protest in the name of his Govern-
ment, and he did not sign the protest." We find no-
thing else of the slightest interest in the discussion,
with the exception of the following remarks of M.
GUIZOT, on the state of the French navy

"He observed that ever since 1840, the supplies of the
Marine had progressively increased; that in 1839 they were
under 60,000,000; that in 1840 they amounted to 72,000,000;
in 1842, to 125,000,000 ; in 1843, to 125,000,000 ; and in
1844, to 111,000,000. As respected the armaments, the
number of vessels in active service, in 1838, was 198 ; in
1839, 218 ; in 1840, 228 ; in 1841, 227 ; in 1842, 225 ; iu
1843, 189 ; and 1844, 190. The sums expended in the mili-
tary and merchant harbours by the Ministry of Public
Works, from 1837 to 1843, exceeded 52,000,000; in 1842,
1843, and 1844, the credits appropriated to the same object
amounted to 22,000,000, besides 6,000,000 more expended in
Algiers. Those facts sufficiently cleared the Government, in
his opinion,'of the charge of neglecting the navy, and proved
that the real interests of the navy and the naval forces of
France had never received a more rapid and important ex-
tension than under his administration."

The Journal des Debats, in a well written article,
pays a high compliment to the memory of the late
LAFFITTE.
"M. Laffitte (it says) had not wished for the Revolution
of July, but he had the merit of accepting and inaugurating
it at the moment it became necessary. It was to his pre-
ceding conduct—to his acknowledged and tried moderation,
that he was indebted for the honour of being one of the first
summoned to restore order after the storm, to consolidate
the work of the Revolution, and to save it from its ex-
cesses."

On Wednesday the Three per Cents. again ad
vanced a little, and closed at 84f. 70e.

VISIT or THE EMPEROR or RUSSlA.—lntelligence
was received in town yesterday at the Russian
Embassy, that his Majesty the Emperor of Russia is
coining on a visit to this country, The Emperor is
expected to land from the Continent today.
We have never in our experience of the exhibitions
ofi—ondon seen anything equal, or even approaching
.nearly, to the grandeur and beauty of the exhibition
,of " London in the Olden Time," at the Royal Surrey
ZoOtogical Gardens. As a picture of what London
wa'a, it is perfect ; whilst the vastness of its propor-
tions strikes every person who sees it. The pro.
prietor of these gardens has done that which others
have attempted, but failed to achieve ; and not a
stranger should visit London to see its present sights,
without also judging of the changes which time and
circumstances have produced, by contrasting it with
the past condition of the metropolis, as faithfully de-
picted at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. We de-
light to honour talent and to encourage public spirit ;
the artists, and the proprietor who has employed
those artists, are deserving of all our praise, and all
the public encouragement which they must and will
receive.

ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF
BEAUFORT.
It gives us great pleasure to announce that the accident
which his Grace met with in Hyde Park on Wednesday
afternoon is not likely to be attended with such serious re-
sults as were at first apprehended. The following bulletin
was issued yesterday in Arlington-street:—
" Arlington-street; May 30, 1844.
" His Grace the Duke of Beaufort has passed a tolerable
night, and is much better this morning; and although still
occasionally in great pain, no serious consequences are ap-
prehended from h►s Grace's accident.
(Signed) "FREDERICK QUIN, MD.
" ROBT. LISTON."
The inquiries at Beaufort House were exceedingly nume-
rous, andj during the whole of the afternoon the court-yard
of the ducal mansion was thronged by the carriages of the
nobility and gentry.

Alton Hall, in Suffolk, has been for nearly a cen-
tury in the possession of Mr. Dean's family, and it is only
by his lamented death that this famed property is brought
to public competition. The mansion is not one of great pre-
tensions; it is denominated a quiet, cozy habitation, full of
comfort, and where -any one, so inclined,. may domesticate
upon 1,0001. a year, and those whose ideas are more expanded
will not be puzzled. or prohibited from adding 1,000/. or
2,000/. a year more to their disbursement; and especially if
they intend to represent :Harwich at the next elec-
tion. The situation of Alton Hall is not to be
surpassed through Out the country, and the lands con-
nected with it, and, forming a separate lot, are called "The
Pet Farms" of this delightful vicinity.
ENLARGEMENT OF THE PAVILION AT BRIGHTON.—
We have good authority for stating that it has been for a
considerable time in contemplation to enlarge the Palace, for
the purpose of obtaining a good sea view, the want of whiCh
from the present building was much regretted by her Majesty
on her first arrival at Brighton. It is proposed, we under-
stand, to build a wing at the northern end of the Pavilion,
with a south frontage; and a gentleman from the department
of the Woods and Forests was here last week to measure the
ground for the site of the proposed wing.—Brighton Gazette
offnursday.
DETERMINATION OF THE HOME SECRETARY TO
PUT DOWN G.impia AT RACES.—A letter was received yes-
terday morning, by Robert Blunt, Esq., the Mayor of Wind-
sor, from Sir-James Graham, stating that it was the determi-
nation of her Majesty's Government to suppress, by means of
the strong arm of the law, every description of gaming at the
various race-courses throughout the kingdom, and calling
upon the authorities of Windsor to render every aid in their
power, during the ensuing races at Ascot, to carry into effect
the intentions of the Executive.
THE PRINCR AND PRINCESS OF CAPUAOIIe of
the Brussels journals publishes a letter from the secretary of
the Prince of Capua, dated from Namur, in which he states
that the Prince continues to be deprived of the property be- I
longing to him by right of birth and inheritance, and that the
presence of the Prince and Princess in the dominions of the
King of Naples is still interdicted. Their Royal Highnesses '
left Namur on Sunday for Liege.
WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENTS.*TiIe Lord Mayor
and Aldermen, the governors of Emanuel Hospital, have let
the extensive gardens at the back of that charity on building
leases ; and the governors of the Blackcoat School have given ,
notice to the tenants on Palmer's Village estate to quit, with
a view to the laying out of new streets there.
SUPPLEMENT GRATIS WITH THE DISPATCH.--.
The Proprietors of the Dispatch, with a view to render
the O'Connell Trial complete, intend presenting another •
Supplement with the Dispatch of June 2, containing a •
full account of the proceedings in Dublin up to their ,
close, including the sentence upon Mr. O'Connt.l and.,
the rest of the Traversers. This Supplement will be
presented uniformly with those issued in February last, •
and may be -bound with them, and apart from the paper,
thus rendering the work perfect as an historical record, I

MONE KAND COMMERCIAL NEVV,-
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING,
At the close of business to-day Consols looked rather
duller, although not quoted lower. They were 99 for
Money, and 99a fiw Account. Exchequer Bills were
quiet at 70s. to 725. premium; East India Stock was
again marked 289; and the Three-and-a-Half per Cent.
Securities supported their full value.
The Foreign Market has been flatter this afternoon.
The tendency of Spanish Bonds we noticed in the morn-
ing, and they lost the temporary- appearance of a rally;
the Five per Cents. being 23- to ; and the Three per
Cents., 344 to j-. Portuguese Converted were at a de-
cline to 46 and 45k; Mexican were firm at 3.5 to -a;
Belgian touched 104, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. 61i- to -I.
The additional transactions in Railway Shares have
been these :—Birmingham and Gloucester, New, were
si; Bristol and Exeter, 9; Great Western, 431 to 45;
Ditto Half, 26; Ditto Fifths, 9i•' Birmingham, 121;

Caledonian were 1; Eastern Counties, lli; Blackwall,
10; and Greenwich, 5 discount.
The exchange on Paris, Hamburgh, and Amsterdam
was rather firmer this afternoon, and on Antwerp and
Trieste about the same.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool continued very dull yes-
terday, but prrces were without any decided alteration. Sales
4,000 bales, including 400 bales American and 100 Pernams
for export.—There was rather more inquiry for Railway
Shares, and more business was done. Great Western Fifths
21k; Birmingham Thirds, 361; Brighton, 46; South-West-
ern Eighths, 41-; Manchester and Birmingham, 56}; South-
Eastern, 35* ; Ditto New, 104 ; Paris and Lyons, 3.t- ;
Paris and Orleans, 39i ; -Paris and Rouen, 38 ; Grand Junc-
tion, 111 i.

The Directors .of the Bank:of England have issued the
following notice :

" The Governor and Company of the Bank of England are
ready, until further notice, to receive applications for loans
upon the deposit of approved Bills of Exchange not having
more than six months to run, Exchequer Bills and East India
Bonds, such loans to be repaid on or before the 19th of July
next, with interest at the rate of three per cent. per annum,
and to be for sums of not less than 2,0001. each."
The usual promissory note will be required from the
borrowers.

We have no arrivals to-clay.
The English Securities are again firm this morning, al -
though there has not been a large bUsiness doing. Consols
for immediate transfer have realised 99i 3, and for Time 993
Exchequer Bills are worth 70s. to 725. premium, and India
Bonds 925. premium. Bank Stock has been firm, at the
high price of 1991 to 200, and India Stock, 288. The New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 102 i to 4 ; and the Three
per Cents. 98i to
Spanish Bonds are going down- again, as we have the re-
ports revived as to the straitened position of Mon, the Fi-
nance Minister at Madrid. The Five per Cents. have been
worth 234 to and the Three per Cents. 35a to ; Portu-
guese Converted are steadier at 46 to ; Mexican
have been dull at 35k; and Brazilian firm at 81i.
The settlement of the account is proceeding satis-
factorily. Belgian Bonds are at ,103. French Three -per
Cents. realise 84f. 50e. ; and the Dutch Five. per Cents. are
99a for the 1837 loan.

ifiere has been an extremely limited market for Shares,
and consequently prices are not buoyant. South-Eastern
have rallied, but Birmingham continued flat.

DUTCH AND. GERMAN PAPERS.
BERLIN, MAY 20.—We learn that. the misunderstandings
.that have lately taken. place between HanoVer and. Prussia
are partly cleared up, and that the King -of Hanover will
shortly pay a visit to our capital.. • • •
STOCKHOLM, MAY 21.—The evening before yesterday the
Sydenbam English steamer arrived here with Mr. Gordon,
who is appointed Charge d'Affaires at the Court of Sweden
and Norway, during the absence of Sir T. Cart Wright, who
is shortly to return to England with the same steamer, which
however goes first to St. Petersburgh, to fetch'Lord Stuart
de Rothesay.
HANOVER, MAY 23.—We hear that the King intends to
pay a visit to Vienna, the Crown Prince will probably go to
.Norderney, and the Crown Princess; it.is said, to Wiesbaden.
SCHWEREN, MAY 23.—1 t is reported that a. treaty of navi-
gation between Mecklenburg and
,Great Britain was con-
cluded at the beginninglof this month, between our Ministry
on the one part and Colonel Hodges, British Consul-General
at Hamburgh, on the other. The substance is said to be
very nearly the same as that between. Great Britain and 01-
.denburg, so that the ports on the. Elbe will probably be re-
cognised by. Great Britain as ports of. Mecklenburg. The
treaty is to continue, in force till the Ist of January, 1848,
and then till the Ist of January, 1854, if neither party gives
notice six months before of its intention to withdraw. The
ratification is expected very shortly.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—A man, 75
years of age, named John Avery, lost his life on Friday on
the rocks beneath the Long-room barracks, in a very singular
manner. While descending the rocks, it seems, his feet be-
came firmly fixed in a cavity! and losing his balance, he fell
over and dashed his head against a rock with sufficient vio-
lence to cause death. The body, when fdund, was hanging
by the' legs as it had fallen ; and life must have been extinct
some hours, as the tide had flowed over it and receded con-
siderably. An inquest was held on Saturday before Mr..
Bone, and a verdict- of-" Found •dead," returned.— ;Vest of
