MARQUIS WELLESLEY AND LORD BROUGIIA M.—
One of the most pleasing results of a love of classical
literature is the suppression, as it were, of all personal
and political animosity towards those who have the
same taste. An example of this may be adduced in
the case of the late Lord Wellesley and Lord Broug-
ham. The one the bosom friend and ardent, admirer
of Mr. Pitt; the other equally wedded to the opinions
of Mr. Fox. Lord Brougham was a frequent visitor
at Kingston House, where his bust was placed by the
Noble resident immediately opposite to that of Mr.
Pitt. On the death of the only daughter of his Lord-
ship, in her 18th year, whose life had been one conti-
nual illness, borne with great resignation, and even
with a cheerful and gay temper of mind, he requested
an epitaph from Lord Wellesley, who composed the
following beautiful lines, which we give beta in Latin
and English, from his Lordship's pen :
" Blanda anima e cunis, heti ! longo exercita morbo
Inter maternal, heu! laerymasque patris,
Quas rise lenire tuo.jueunda solebas,
Et levis, et propru vix memor ipsa mall ;
pete ctelestes' übi nulls est cura, recessus !
" Et tibi sit nullo mista dolore quies !"
Doomed to long suffering from your earliest years,
Amidst your parents' grief and pain alone
Cheerful and gay, you smiled to soothe their tears,
And in their agonies forgot your own ;
Go, gentle spirit ; and among the blest,
From grief and pain eternal be thy rest."
We regret to state that the fine old acacia tree,
standing between the chapel at Magdalene College
and the President's lodgings, fell to the ground last
week. It ,has again been raised, and an attempt made
to preserve the venerable occupant of perhaps more
than 100 years' standing, by lopping off its top
branches and supporting the - trunk ; but we much
fear that the attempt will prove ineffeatial.---4ixford

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, WEDNEDAY EVENING.
The Stock market closed well this evening, and we
hear, cdntrary to expectation, of another purchase of
Reduced Annuities by the Government broker, being
on account of the East India Annuity Fund. Con-
sols leave off at 93 1 for Money, and 931 to / for
the Account. Discounts to-day were called 2+ to 24-
per cent. on first class mercantile bills. Exchequer
Bills were 555. to 575. prem., and New Three-and-a-
Half per Cents., 1011 to 101 i ; Bank Stock was a
shade higher.
The Foreign Bonds were steady at the previous
rates, except Spanish Actives, which were at 168 f o f,
and the Three per Cents. at 211, being a trifle higher.
Mexican Stock was at 32+, and Colombian at 201.
Portuguese New Five per Cents. brought 38, the Con-
verted Stock 31/ to 32, and the Three per Cents. 221.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52k; Austrian, 113.
The Brighton Shares were steady, but there was
less doing in them. There were a few sales in Bir-
mingham and Gloucester, Cheltenham and Great West-
ern, Eastern Counties, &c., at about former quotations.
The merchants attende'Change again this after-
noon as early as three o'clock, and seem generally well
pleased with the alteration. By four o'clock the ma-
jority " cleared off."
(From The Sun of Last Night..)
The Penguin packet, arrived with the Brazilian
mail, furnishes advices of August 15th from Rio de
Janeiro ; July 29, from Monte Video and July 15,
from Buenos Ayres. The state of trade in all these
quarters appears to be very bad, and in the
Brazils especially the greatest difficulty was experi-
enced in obtaining a settlement of accounts with the
natives. The British merchants, therefore, were not
disposed to do business, and the exchange had been
down to 24k, though last quoted 25i. The Six per
Cent. Stock was 69 to 70. The Coffee crop will be
deficient.

The South American Republics continued wretch-
edly embroiled. Bolivia was on bad terms with
Buenos Ayres, Chili was expected to make war,
Uriguay is likely to be driven by the tacit assump-
tion of Roses for sovereignty over it, to the asser-
tion of its independence, and the Oriental State
is waxing stronger to resist its enemies. The Spa-
nish and Portuguese journals from South Ame-
rica are filled with the details of massacres, bloodshed,
and outrage.
Only 1,200 bales of cotton were sold at Liverpool
yesterday; and in Railway Shares there was a mode.
rate business doing at former rates.
There are but limited sales of produce to-day, but
Indigo is higher, having been taken on speculation.
In the Funds there is only a moderate business
doing, and prices are supported. Consols are 934 to
931 for present transfer, and 931 for time; Exchequer
Bills are 555. to 575. premium ; and India Bonds 465.
to 48s. premium ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 1004 to 1004 ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities
921 to 921 ; Bank Stock is 165 to 166.
Foreign Stocks are neglected. Spanish Actives,
however, have improved, to 161 and 16+; and the
Three per Cents. are steady, at 211. Colombian
Bonds are 201 and Portuguese New, 38. The Con-
verted Stock Crings 314 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. 521.
Railway Shares are generally inactive, Great
Western being 171 premium, but Brighton have been
brisk at 134 to 131 discount.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT. 18.—We
have had rather more business transacted to-day, at
generally lower prices.—Manchester and Birming-
ham, 191 ; Manchester and Leeds, Half-shares, 29+ ;
Ditto Quarter shares, 3 15-16; Midland Counties,
61; Dublin and Drogheda, 164 ; Manchester and
Liverpool District Bank, 101 and 101.
