I - (From The Sun of Last Night.)
The prices of most cf the English Stocks are rather
better than when they left off last night. Consols have
been sold at 91k for Money, and are now marked 91i
91i; and 91i, buyers, for the Account; Three per Cents.
Reduced, 924 • Three and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced,
101 ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 ; Bank
Stock, 170 1701 ; India Stock, 249 251 ; India Bonds,
32 34 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 52 54 ; New, 50 52 prem.
Nothing has been done in Foreign Securities ; prices,
however, remain nominally as yesterday.
Mexican Bonds are quoted Wit 35k, at which some
time bargains have been made.
The transactions in Shares have been limited to Great
Western, New, 64 ; South Western, 621 ; South
Eastern, Scrip, 8 ; and Edinburgh and Glasgow, 47 ;
the New Shares, 31.
The bonds noticed to-day are Portuguese Five per
Cents, 33i ; Spanish Five per Cents, 21k, and the Three
per Cents, 20k ; all speculations for time.
The arguments in favour of permanently fixing the
departure of the mail for. India a few days later
than the 4th of the month, according to the present
regulations, will receive additional strength from
the arrival of the present. The steam - vessel
is stated to have arrived at Marseilles at six in
the morning of Sunday, the 31st ult., and the letters
cannot be delivered before the ordinary course of post
to-morrow ; but more probably an extra delivery at an
advanced part of the day will be required, thus imposing
double duty upon merchants, namely, preparing the
outward, and perusing the inward, correspondence.
To estimate the extent of the labour properly,
the counting-houses of parties engaged in this branch
of commerce, should be visited on the day before
and the day of the despatch, and upon the receipt of the
letters all business is then completely suspended but
that, and scarcely a thought is given to any thing
else. Some idea may be formed, from paragraphs 1
which occasionally appear, of the number and
weight of the packages containing the letters. Now;
when making up the bags is put off at a
short notice, or when letters are delivered on the same
day, most of this correspondence would have to be re-
written. and even a third time, and in many instances
it is obliged to be done ; but in the greater number of
cases, the pressure is such that the answers are wholly
neglected. All of these inconveniences would be ob-
viated, were the 6th or 7th of the month fixed for the
departure of the mail.

fly a chance vessel intelligence has been received from
Rio Janeiro a few days later than that by the last packet.
The markets for imports showed no change, though the
slight improvement noticed some time since had not
abated, but the confidence of merchants appears rather
to have increased. Some parcels of the new crop of
coffee had arrived from the interior, the quality of which
was stated to be very superior to that of last season, and
from all accounts the quantity was likely to be quite as
abundant. The information from the Province
of St. Paulo is but scanty, but it may be gathered,
that, although the Government had from the
first adopted most energetic measures to quell the in-
surrection, yet nothing but the presence of the troops
prevented open violence from being continued. Much
ill-feeling was stated still to prevail ; and it is to be
feared that serious events may occur bfore tranquillity
be completely restored.

THE LITTLE HORSE PRESENTED ,TO DER 34-
JEsr*.—The diminutive. horse, of which there appeared
an accountin yesterday's paper, Stating, that' it had-been
presented to,.the Queen, was brought over frinn Java by.
Captain Leckney, of the ship Victor. The. captain
brought the horse with him inside-a-cab to the Mansion=
house, -upon his arrival in London upwards of two
months ago, and galloped it up and down the saloon be-
fore the Lady Mayeresa and some of her friends. .Upon
taking leave, Captain Leckey whipped the animal
up and ran down stairs with him, amidst great laughter,
and depdaiting him in the cab, drove off to the west end
of the town. We understand that the present was ac
cepted by' her Majesty from Captain Leekey, through
Lord Charles Wellesley,. who spoke of the animal as
the smallest he had ever heard of. The captain, in
speaking of it at the Mansion-house, said it would Carry
him in harness at- the rate of ten miles an hour. •

The mostimportnnt news in the French Journals,
is the account, of the funeral of the Duke of OnLEAiss,
which will be found in another part of The Sun, and
to which we invite the attention of our readers.
The Minittur of the Ist of August, publishes in its
official part an ordinance of the 31st of July, by which
M. Quesnel, advocate attached, to the department of the
interior, is appointed sub-prefect of Ploermel, in the
room of M. Nouel de la Touche.

Thus we see the sub-prefect of Ploermel dismissed,
because he would not support the election of M. de La.
rochejacquelin. Is it thus that the Ministry of the 28th
of October pretends to consolidate the dynasty ?—Con.

News from Algiers of the 25th of July has been re-
ceived by way of -Marseilles and Toulon. The Austrian
frigate Billona, commanded by the Archduke Frederick,
son of the Archduke Charles, arrived at Algiers from
Trieste on the 21st. After the customary salute the
Archduke landed, and proceeded to Blidah, escorted by
a squadron of the chasseurs of Africa, and accompanied
by the Austrian Consul and his aid-dc-camps.
On the 25th the Governor-General of Algeria, General
Bar, and other superior officers of the army of Africa,
dined on board the Billona.—Commerce.

subtlety which they have always shown, it.would.appear
that some further demonstrations would be necessary
before a proper appreciation of our power were arrived
at. Like the Americans with regard to their pledges
when borrowing money, the Chinese are tricky, and if
favourable circumstances for them should occur, the Em-
peror may refuse to acknowledge the acts of his Minis-
ters, as the several Legislatures have repudiated their
debts. The details, which most probably will be de-
livered to-morrow, are looked forward to with much
anxiety.
