It is with much regret that the merchants in the City
interested in the East India and China trades, have
learnt that the project of a railway for the con-
veyance of goods and passengers across the Desert is
all but abandoned. It was hoped that the scheme
would be successful, but it would appear that
the difficulties are all but insurmountable, and
a canal is likely to be formed instead. In
some quarters we hear that the Pacha of
Egypt is indisposed to make any advances for the rail-
way, his exchequer being somewhat low. It is impos-
sible to over-estimate the value of such a commu•
nication if successfully carried into execution.
If the railroad is at all practicable, no doubt capital
enough would be raised here for the purpose, and thus a
great boon be granted to the traders and passengers be-
tween Europe, India, and China.
We are without any colonial arrivals to-day of late
dates.
The Public Securities have not been influenced as to
value by the very extraordinary divisions that have
taken place in the French Chamber of Deputies. Cir-
cumstances nearer home—namely, a demand for capital
for the settlements in the Railway and Foreign Stock—is
the principal reason why Consols have gone back a little.
Considering the high value of the Three per Cents. it
is most remarkable that a much greater fall
than from Ito per cent. has not recently taken place.
Consols for the Account have been done at 100*. but
the Three per Cents. for Money are at a fraction below
par. Bank Stock has reached 215 this morning, but
they are now rather lower. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been sold at 1041 I. Exchequer-
bills command 675. premium.
A fair amount of business has been effected in the Fo-
reign Bonds this day, but without much variation in
prices. There has been a small reaction in the Portu-
guese Converted Bonds, which were done at 604 early in
the day, and are now at 59k. The Spanish Actives for Ac-
counthave been quoted at 28k, and the Three per Cents. at
40. The Dutch, the Chilian, and the Mexican Bonds are
firm. Brazilian Five per Cents. have fallen from 90
to 891.
As the settlement of the Share accounts is fixed for
to-morrow there is a heavy market this morning, as the
list of prices will show.

FATE OF ZURBANO.

BAYONNE, JAN. 24.—We have received some addi-
tional particulars of the fate of Zurbano. He was dis-
covered in a house in the immediate neighbourhood of
Logrono, on the road to the Sierra de Climaxes, near the
spot where his two sons and other partisans had been
arrested. The officer who effected his capture was an
old comrade known under the soubriquet of El Rayo (the
Thunderbolt). The latter bad been long in pursuit of
him, having sworn to take him alive or dead. His
brother-in-law, Cayo Muro, a major of cavalry, on half-
pay, was shot dead, in endeavourinz to escape by a win-
dow. Zurbano was less fortunate ; being taken prisoner,
he was led to Logrono, where the Governor, Brigadier
Aynat, commanded him immediately to prepare for
death. He was shot in the back, in the market-place of
Logrono, at eleven o'clock, on the morning of the 21st
instant.

This renowned chief was the son of a peasant of Ba-
rest, a rural suburb of Logrono, aho destined him for
the ecclesiastical profession, but the study of divinity
proving distasteful to him, he returned home.
and devoted himself to agriculture. He married very
young, and hired a considerable farm at Berea, but the
turbulence of his character rendering him unfit far this
peaceful occupation, he became a smuggler, and his ene
mien say a robber. The ill-success of his pursuits, and
consequent hardships, shortened the life of his youthful
wife. He shortly afterwards married his present wife,
Hermenegilda Martinez. He continued his lawless life
till the breaking out of the civil war; when, having
placed himself at the head of a small band, under the
protection of M. Pito Pizarro, be began those daring at.
tacks upon the Carlists which led to his elevation by
Espartero to high rank in the Christino army, to the
most important commands, and to the possession of great
wealth. It doubtful whether he was urged to the re-
volt which has cost himself and family so dear by his own
restless ambition, or by the persecutions of the Govern-
ment. One fact tending to prove his outbreak premedi-
tated is, that the provincial regiment of Logrono, part of
which was in garrison at Iron at that date, showed such
evidently seditious sentiments as to cause great trouble
to the Governor of Irun, and proved that it had been
tampered with by the Progresista party.

William Robinson Robinson, Esq., of Silksworth
Hall, near Sunderland, at his rent day last week, In
consequence of the depreciated value of agricultural
produce, liberally returned ten per cent. to his tenants
on the last half year's rent.
