SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY _ MORN ENG. NOVEMBER 25. 1845.

poral and four soldiers of the 25th regiment, implicated
in the late revolt, were shot in that city, and that
twenty-three other soldiers had been sentenced to the
galleys. _ _ _

On the 15th (Saturday) the Bourse was closed, that
day being the feast of St. EUGENIVS.

We rejoice to find that the report publi,hed in thi)
Paris Quotidienne, giving an account of a horrible sacri-
fice of defenceless Arabs, similar to that committed by
the notorious PELESSIEIt, is totally unfounded. The
following contradiction in the Massager, a Government
paper, may be regarded as official. Indeed, we never
place any confidence in the Quotidienne, when the pre-
sent dynasty or the University is the party attacked.
" The contradiction to this calumnious statement," says
the Messager, " will be found in the Moniteur of the 4th
September. It will be remembered that the reports of
Colonel St. ARNAUD were then published. A troop of
fugitive Sheahs had shut themselves up in the grottoes.
The investment of them was ordered, and afterwards the,
attack took place. Two of the seven openings of the
grottoes were closed up, the other five were carried by
force. The capitulation and sortie of the besieged soon
followed. It has been since ascertained that Colonel St.
ARNAUD did shut up the openings of these grottoes, but
it was after the evacuation of them, and in order to pre-
vent their again being made a place of refuge for the
Arabs, and a cause of danger for our soldiers." The
accounts from Algiers, even in the Government
journals, are most unsatisfactory. Nearly the
whole of the districts, once occupied by the
French troops, and supposed to be pacified or sub-
dued, have either thrown off the yoke, or are making
preparations for this purpose. Even the province of
Constantine, thought to be secure, has followed the
example, and in every quarter the French must renew
their conquests. The troops under BUGEAUD and LA-
MORICIERE have enough to do in maintaining their po-
sition in the maritime provinces, and all thoughts of
marching against Morocco are for the present aban-
doned. Instead of advancing, BUGEAUD is compelled to
think only of securing his rear. The Journal des Debsits
at the close of a long article, evidently written for the
purpose of preparing the public mind for un-
favourable intelligence, publishes a letter, dated
Constantine, N0v..14, announcing the fact that the agents
of A 73D-EL- KADER were actively stirring up the native
population, and that all the troops in the neighbourhood
had been put in requisition. In the provinces of Algiers
and Oran affairs are in a very critical state. Several
tribes are in a state of revolt. BUGEAUD has been obliged
to change his whole plan of action, and, instead of advanc-
ing upon Morocco, is compelled to retire towards the
sea-coast, lest his rear should be compromised. General
LAMORICIERE is hardly able to keep his ground, and has
demanded additional reinforcements of cavalry. This
is a sad prospect ; but what else could the Govern-
ment and Marshal BUGEAUD expect ? An army of
200,000 men would not suffice to ketp down a hostile
and all but indomitable race, scattered over such an ex-

tensive and difficult country. The following extraci
from the Akbar of the 13th, a journal published at
Algiers, is a specimen of the intelligence from that
quarter:—

" Abd-el-Kader displays an unexampled activity. His
emissaries and courtiers are on all the roads, some spreading
false news, the others carrying letters to keep up the zeal of
the secret partisans of the insurrection, or to gain new ones.
But such missions are dangerous, and they who undertake
them expose themselves to all the severity of th• laws
against spies. Abd-el Rahman Ren Nekrouf found this out
to his cost. He was convicted of having taken two letters
from the Emir, ot:e to Sid Humel Ben Sekal, Caid of Ain-el-
Hunt, and the other to lladji Ben Ali, Captain of the Native
Militia. He was hanged on October 11, on the Place du
Mechour, at Tlemcen, in presence of the natives who had
come in with their goods to market, and on whom this seve-
rity will no doubt produce some effect."

Several of the Opposition journals give gloomy ac-
counts of the eff cts produced by the panics in the Paris
Stock and Share market. "The critical state of com-
mercial afflirs," says the Commerce," displays itself in the
departments by failures which cast ruin around them,
and throw the consequences of individual catastrophes
on whole populations. At Paris, jobbing has arrived at
such a point at to render all fortunes as precarious as
edifices built on a quicksand. The Cabinet will have to
render an account of what it could have done, and what
it has not done, to conjure away the evil. The adjudi-
cation of the Northern Railway has much contributed,
by the manner in which it was conducted, to the disas-
ters now passing before our eyes. The Chambers
wanted to establish a real competition, and the Ministry
has done all it could to prevent it. By encouraging the
companies to amalgamate, it violated the spirit of the
law : it gave birth to these enormous premiums, the
settlement of which at present makes such innumerable
dupes, after having at first enriched a few knowing
fellows."

The France is still more desponding :—" The money
market of Paris is in the most dreadful coasternation.
At each moment some new disaster is announced at the
Bourse. Speculators, or rather jobbers, who only a day
or two ago were operating on enormous amounts of ca-
pital, have been ruined all at once. To all these dis-
asters must be added the flight of an agent-de-change,
leaving to his associates in the pargutt the care of set-
tling the immense operations engaged in by him.
Strong apprehensions are also entertained that other
members of the same body will be obliged to demand
temporary aid from the Syndical Chamber. These facts
are too deplorable not to excite the indignation of
all honest persons, who, like ourselves, have condemned
the recent disorders, caused by the immense amount of
jobbing that has been going on. When the frenzy of
speculating in railroads seized on the public mind it was
easy to foresee what has happened. This immense con-
centration of capital of all kinds on the same object must
bring on a state of plethora, a superabundance of capital
in speculation, the depreciation of which, and a heavy
fall in the marketable value, were the melancholy con-
sequences. This necessary fatal march of events the
Government alone would not see, or rather it did not
deign to pay attention to it for a single moment." The
Presse, with its usual impartiality towards this country,
attributes all the mischief to the English capitalists,
who withdrew their money for the purpose of realising
profits.

The following letter from St. Melo, dated the 17th,
appears in some of the journals :
" This morning a writing was found posted up at the corner
of our fruit and vegetable market, calling upon the populace
to assemble and set lire to the houses of M. Hovius, the
mayor of the town, and M. Louis Blaize, formerly deputy.
accusing them of the cause of the increasing dearness of
bread by their large exportations of black wheat. Yester-
day a company of the 71st regiment of the line was marched
in quick time to Dinan, where a numerous body of the
people had intercepted the passage of the Rance, by
filling the channel with enormous blocks of stone.
The gendarmerie and the troops sent from this town
being found too weak, and two of the gendarmes
having been seriously wounded by the stones thrown
at them, fresh reinforcements became necessary, and two
companies of the line were seat for from St. Brion; and
we learn that a battery of artillery• has been dispatched, in
all haste, from Rennes. We hear, however, that the riot has
been renewed to-day, and that bodies of people from Broons,
Beckerel, and even St. Malo, have gone to join those of
Dinan. A highly respectable merehant, M. Paul Robert, is
said to have had one of his arms broken, and to have received
other severe ill treatment. The authorities, however, are
able to enforce the laws, and through the firmness and courage
of the Proeureur-du-Roi, several of the most forward among
the rioters have been arrested. The same disturbances have
occurred along the whole coast of Lower Brittany, black wheat
being the only resource of the poor in seasons when the
growth of potatoes fails."
The following are miscellaneous extracts :

" Letters from Brussels of the 20th state t'
Nothomb

his life was in imminent dance- of apoplexy, and that
" A Brest letter row

oe destined for La Plata. A battalion of marines
two companies of artillery are also about to be embarked
in the frigates Syrene, Proserpina Caravane, Isere, and
Loire, to the Antilles, the garrisons of which they are to re-
inforce. The ships of the Senegal squadron are waiting only
for fine weather to take their departure. The Phoque has
returned considerably damaged by the weather that she had
encountered. The repairs of the Caiman are nearly finished,
and the Jupiter, Captain Lugeol, of 80-guns is being fitted
for sea.

" The Conatitutionnel, in mentioning the failure of M.
Falcon, one of the agents de change, says that his deficit
amounts to about 100,0001., and that of that sum Queen
Christina of Spain is the sufferer to the extent of 48,0001.
It afterwards contradicts the paragraph in these words :
We understand that a Spanish lady, Mme. F., is, in fact,
compromised in the late failure on the Bourse for a sum of
1,200,000 francs. Queen Christina is not concerned in the
affair, and her name was used without good foundation.'
" By a letter from Alexandria we learn that, in conse-
quence of warm remonstrances against the Pacha's ordon-
nance prohibiting an exportation of corn from Egypt, the
European Consuls have delivered a note to the Viceroy's
Government,demandi ag either a reimbursement to the mer-
chants of the full amount of the sums they had paid for cern
previously to this decree, or that they might be allowed to
expr,rt what they had actually purchased.
"Letters from Ancona, of the 14th instant, state that some
English merc;Aints having made large purchases of grain in
that place, the public are in a state of great alarm, and are en-
deavouring to get the exportation stopped. At Rimini the
Weople are also in a state of commotion and attacked some
essels in the har,:vur, loaded with grain, which they obliged
the owners to disch.Vge•

TIM LORD CHANCELLOR.—The accounts received from
Turville park to-day, with respect to the health of the
Lord Chancellor, are, we feel happy to say, more favour-
able than on Sunday.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 4,000
bags, one-half being on speculation. The market was steady
at the previous quotations.
There are later accounts from the Cape of Good Hope this
morning. The Governor had forwarded a very satisfactory
minute to the Legislative Council of the finances of the co-
lony. The South African Advertiser states, with reference to
this document, that " taken in all its bearing, this budget
reflects the highest honour on the present Administration—
en its talents, its activity, its uprightness, audits enlightened
benevolence."
This is most assuredly as high a compliment as ever was
paid to any representative of her Majesty. A few of the
more prominent paragraphs in this valuable document are
worth quoting. His Excellency states,—
" My necessary absence on the frontier has prevented me
from submitting to you the estimates of the revenue and
expenditure for the year 1646, till this late period of the
present year.
"It is very gratifying to me to announce to you, that on
the 31st December the colony will be out of debt.
" For the year 1846, the revenue is estimated at 178,5031.,
and the expenditure at 161,3421. 13s. sd.
"I am happy to inform you that since the abolition of the
Port Dues, the increase in the Customs' Revenue has fully
compensated for the actual loss of them; and other advan-
tages have accrued to the colony in the inereased amount of
shipping which has visited its ports."
The Minister states that the guano trade ha caused 215
ships, of 60,583 tons in the aggregate, to enter the port. An
increased grant of money was proposed for the purpose of
extending education. The accounts from Cape Town are to
the 18th September last. From the frontier there is not any
accounts of interest by the present arrival.
There are late advices from Sydney to-day, viz., to the
26th July, but they contain little information of interest.
The value of sheep had been rather improved. Trade was
ather slack.
By this opportunity further accounts have come to hand of
the last conflict between the British troops and the New Zea-
landers. Preparations had been made for a fresh attack, and
with more precaution, it would seem, than before. The
Chef, Heki, had received a wound in his leg by a ball,
and being unskilfully prescribed for was placed all but hors
de combat. About 600 regulars and 130 of the militia were
in the vicinity of the hostile natives ready to resume hosti-
lities.
The intelligence from Van Dieman's Land states that
there were from 100,000 to 120,000 bushels of grain of the
last harvest ready for exportation, being the' surplus ever
and above what would be required for consumption and for
seed for next harvest. The Port Phillip advice& that- have
Come to hand to-day say, the colonists were at fever heat in
consequence of regulations that had been sent out as to
how squatters were to be dealt with in future.
There is an improved demand for the Public Funds this
morning. Consols for the Account have advanced from 95%
to 95%, and for the Transfer to-morrow, from 9514 to 951/2.
The panic in the Money-market appears to have subsided
very considerably. Exchequer-bills opened firmly at 27e.
premium. but are now a traction lower. The Three per
Cents. Reduced have been in request at 941/2, and the
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 9614 %. India
Stock has advanced to 264, but Bank Stock has been sold at
a decline to 204%. The gloomy state of the Railway Share-
markets in the provinces, in Ireland, and on the Continent,
acts very materially in preventing an upward movement in
the British Securities.
In the Foreign Funds not much busineee has been trans-
' acted. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cen's. have improved
from 584 to 591, while the Four per Cents. have receded
from 93} to 94. The Portuguese Four per Cents. have
fluctuated from 56 to 57k. These variations show the ex-
citable state of the market for securities at the present period
Brazilian Five per Cents. are at 80 ; Danish at 86i ; Mexican
has advanced to 30 ; Spanish at 284 %, and the Deferred at

16g.
The Railway Share►market is heavy. The latest prices
are below.
