'ero are accounts from the Mauritius this morning to the
sth of April, but they are, as usual, extremely barren of
intelligence.
If the financial affairs both of Spain as well as of Portugal
are fairly represented in the accounts that have recently come
to hand, there cannot be a doubt but that the treasuries of
both kingdoms are in a more impoverished condition than
they have before been. Still se sanguine are foreign Minis-
ters that the gullibility of John • Bull is as extensive as
ever, that new propositions are made for fresh advances of
capital, upon the security of thrice hypothecated revenues.
The first proposition of M. Mons is thus disposed of by a City
capitalist of long standing. Being asked what he would be
ready to take the proposed new issue of Stock at, the price
assumed for the Three per Cents. being 35 per cent., " Why,"
said he to the interrogator, " if you will strike off the 30 per
cent., then I will 'come to some terms with the remaining 5 per
cent." It is intended, to make the bait more sure of sue-
cess, that the dividend upon the proposed new Stock should
be made payable in Paris and Amsterdam, as well as in
London, but it is not believed that the scheme will take.
Then, as to Portugal, the Cabral Ministry is in a rapid course
of annihilation. What with internal dissensions and politi-
cal intrigues,. this fine country , is reduced to nearly
as low an ebb as that of Spain. Here, too, a new
attempt is about to be made to obtain fresh advances from
this side of the water. To those of our readers who have
any spare cash at disposal, we may give this adviee—seleet
some good English line of railway, about to be: carried out.
under the provisions of an Act of Parliament, invest in that,
and let foreign loans alone.
There have been some accounts received at the Hall of
Commerce from Buenas Ayres and Monte Video. Another
battle had taken place, in which the French party, who had
joined the Orientals, had been defeated. The petty squabbles
and minor military movements that so frequently take place
in that direction scarcely deserve notice. The commercial
news is deficient in interest. •
A very small amount of business has been transacted in
the English Stock Exchange to-day, notwithstanding the
banks are now open for private tranifers. The prices of
Consols have ranged from 98i to 99 for Money, as well as
for the Account, the dividend deducted. Bank Stock has
been quoted at 1981; India Stock-at 285; and the New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1011 ft.
Mexican Bonds have varied from 36 to 36a, now being at
36i.. Columbian and Venezulian have been done at 13$ ;
Peruvian at 26k, and the Dutch Five per Cents. at 100 ft
In most of the Railway Shares a slight improvement has
taken place this morning, as the corrected list of prices will
show.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTFZIOUTII, JULY 7.—The Childers, 16, Commander
Wellesleyj haVing discharged her cargo of silver at the
Royal dockyard on Thursday, hauled off into the stream, and
WO *lnspected by the Flag Captain of the port (R. P. Rowley)
as deputy for the Commander-in-Chief, after which ceremony,
she commenced stripping, preparatory_ to being paid off at
this port. The Childers touched at Simon's Bay., on her way'
home, on the 30th of April, at which date the Winchester, 50,
Captain C. Eden, flag of Bear-Admiral the Hon. Jocelyn
Percy, had recently returned from a short cruise; the Thun-
derbolt steam-sloop, Commander G. N. Broke, and Cleopatra
frigate, 44, Captain Wyvill, were also lying at 'the Cape at
the same date. The Childers came into port minus four of
her guns, which she had left behind at Hong-Kong, to mount
a battery with. She has been upwards of five years in com-
mission, has had two [commanders, and is in a very dilapi-
dated state. She will be paid off, docked, thorougly over-
hauled, and refitted forthwith.

The Queen, 110, Captain Sir C. Sullivan, will be paid off on
Tuesday next, if the Camperdown is round by that time.
The Spy, 3, Lieutenant-Commander Woolridge, is ordered
home from the Island of Ascension, to be paid off. She will

Byprivate letters froin the Madagascar, 44, Captain. Foote,
we learn that she is on her way home from the Cape Verd
Islands, to be paid off.
The Albion, 90, Captain N. Lockyer, is ordered for the
Mediterranean.

The Clio, 16, Commander J. Fitzjames, is on her way home
from Bombay, to be paid off, and is shortly expected.
The Cornwallis, 72, Captain P. Richards, with the flag of
Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, G.C.8., is expected home from
Madras the 30th proximo, to be paid off.
The Star, 6, Commander Dunlop, has captured two slavers
—the Nova Christina, schooner, picked up in a sinking state
off Sierra Leone, with 70 slaves aboard, and the Mary, a
beautiful craft of near 600 tons, captured near Badagry, after
a run of 200 miles; she mounted four guns, and had a crew'
of 40 men, fitted to carry 950 slaves. We have letters ftom
the Star to the Ist of May, all well, at which date the

of Benin.

DEVONPORT, JULY s.—The Caledonia, 120, sailed this day
from the Sound, for Gibraltar. In consequence of the hosti-
lities between France and Morocco being considered by the
French Government sufficient warranty for sending out a
fleet, under the Prince de Joinville, her Majesty's Govern-
ment have wisely determined to send out a squadron for the
protection of her Majesty's interests in that vicinity. Conse-
quently the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, expects orders
hourly to follow the Caledonia, and it is probable that on the
arrival of the Camperdown, 104, Captain Martin, she will
also be dispatched to the same destination ; as also the Col-
lingwood, 80, Captain Eden; Cornwallis, 74, shortly ex-
pected from the East Indies ; the Madagascar, 44, Captain
Foote; the Thalia, 42, Captain Hope; and we are credibly
informed the Albion, 92, Captain Lockyer, and Volage, 26,
Captain Sir William Dickson, Bart., have been ordered from
the Irish station upon the same errand.
The Fox, 42, Captain Sir H. M. Blackwood, Bart., is or-
dered to sail this day from Barnpool to relieve Commodore
Chads in the Cambrian, 36, on the East India station. She
takes out two full-length portraits of her Majesty as presents
to the Emperor of China. Second Lieutenant Parke, RM.,
will take a passage in the Fox, to join the Isis, 44, Captain
Sir John Marshall, Knt., K.O H., at the Cape; she also takes
out the shipwrights, coopers, and smiths entered on board the
San Josef for service in China, to be borne on the books of the
Agincourt, 72, Captain H. W. Bruce, flag-ship of Rear. Ad-
miral Sir T. J. Cochrane, Knt., to whom Sir Henry will be
second in command, and hoist a blue pendant as Commodore
of the second class.

The Sydenham steam sloop, Commander D. R. B. Maple-
ton, arrived from Portsmouth on Wednesday, received su-
pernumeraries, and sailed in the evening for the Mediterra-
nean.
