Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been received,
but they are filled chiefly with rumours. It is re-
ported that an extensive conspiracy has been dis-
covered, that the Marquis DD VILLUMA. will retire
from the Ministry, that the Royal Family of Naples
is expected at Barcelona, and that the Cortes are to
be dissolved forthwith.

The Three per Cents. were done at 28k at 60 days,
and the Five per Cents. at 20f at 30 days.

THE LATE MR. J. ScnoLEriEr.D.—lt has been else-
where our painful duty to record the decease of
Joshua Scholefield, Esq., one of the Members for
Birmingham.- The character of this gentleman will
be best recorded in the hearts of those in private life,
who well knew his worth, and the warmth of heart
and zeal he manifested in works of a benevolent cha-
racter. It is to be feared that the life of Mr. Schole-
field wai brought to an earlier close than might have
been expected, in consequence of the intense mental
anxiety he felt as to the results likely to ensue from
the passing of a Bill which was read a third time on
Thursday night last in the House of Commons, within
about six hours of the lamented gentleman's decease.
It is well known to those who have watched the Par-
liamentary career of the late Mr. Scholefield, that from
its commencement to its close, the exertions of the
Hon. Gentleman were identified with opposition to
the fatal errors of the bullionists, on the very im-
portant, and, indeed, as it will be yet proved, all im-
portant question of the currency. This matter pos-
sessed to his active and intelligent mind, an all-ab-
sorbing interest ; and by those who were associated
with him in similar views of our monetary system,
neither the zeal nor the good will, the spirit nor the
energy of his incessant exertions in opposing the Bank
Charter Bill can ever be forgotten, or adequately
acknowledged. As a practical and long-experienced
merchant, he knew the misery inflicted by the mea-
sure he opposed in its bearing
.upon the producing
classes; and he could feel, it is evident, for those who
were the subjects of that misery ; he had witnessed
it in the ruined fortunes, and, as he often expressed
himself, " in the broken hearts" it had produced.
If to the catalogue of disastrous incidents asso-
ciated with the mental solicitude occasioned by the
Government measure now introduced into the
House of Lords, we are to add his own accelerated
demise, we must inscribe the name of one more good
man upon the roll of those whose days, like the late
Lord Liverpool's, have been shortened by the entan-
glements of that maze of difficulties, the monetary
measure of the year eighteen hundred and nineteen.

(From the Times.)

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH

" On the 16th I informed the A10r0c,...0 chief that
clotr:0, JUNE 19.
offered him the conditions proposed by me before the
I was about to mg:cub
battle of the 15th ; he replied pacifically, but with-
out coming to any conclusion. On the 19th I entered
Ouchda without firing a shot.

" The Morocco troops had retired two days be-
fore in the greatest disorder. Discord reigns amongst
the chiefs and indiscipline amongst the soldiers.
" This small army appears to be dissolved. Ouchda
will be respected. I shall leave it on the 21st, taking
with me about 1,500 persons of the population of
Tlemcen and the remnant of the Deyza, who were
retained by force, and are desirous of following us.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM' OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
LAUNCH OF THE COMMODORE'S YACHT KESTREL.--This
fine yacht was launched from Ilansen's yard on Monday last
at noon. Never was there such opposite opinions amongst
those who profess to be judges, as to her appearance and rig,
some extolling, while others condemned her as the image of
by-gone days. Who shall decide, when yachtmen so disagree ?
LAUNCH OF THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAMER
BRAGANZA.—This ship, which has been lengthened amid-
ships 30 feet, is now 875 tons, and was launched from Messrs.
Thomas and John White'syard on Monday : she is decidedly
improved in her appearance, and is now considered a first-
rate steamer. We understand she is intended to run to Con-
stantinople
Wednesday, at noon, the foundation-stone of the eastern-
most dock-head of the new steam-frigate-dock was laid by
Mr. Thomas White, the spirited proprietor.
RAIN COME AT LAST._-After a drought unprecedented,
being from the 14th of April till the 2d of July, the parched
fields have been visited by some refreshing showers. There
was some heavy rain at Freshwater and Compton on Friday
last, but it did not reach to the north of the island. One
farmer on Saturday sowed 16 sacks of barley. The barley,
oats, beans, and grass are a failure.
The following are amongst our arrivals this week :—Sir
Henry Webster and family, at Harriet Lodge; Mr. Powell
and family, Adelaide Villa ; John Congreve, Esq., and
family, Beach Villa; Sir C. Egerton and family, 9th Cot-
