EXPRESS FROM PARIS

PARIS, AUG. 24.
Constantinople letters of the 7th, brought by
the Levant Mail, do not corroborate the death
of Prince Katnram, nor bring any news from
Persia. The change of Ministry, and the super-
seding of Izzet by Kosrew; was still but a ru-
mour, though a general one.
The Due de Broglie had read his Report on
the Regency to the Commission. He and Count
Mole will both support the law.
The Duc d'Harcourt propoies an amendment
in favour of a female Regent.
The Chambers will be prorogued till the 9th

•
of January.

Madrid news of the 17th is unimportant.

MONEY and COMitiERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
This is Account day in the English Market, but
the small amount of speculative business, and the
trifling fluctuations since the last settlement, render
the present of no moment. Money has been ex-
ceedingly abundant, and can with difficulty be
employed even at one per cent. ; consequently
the rate of continuation from Account to Ac-
count has not been more than *to per cent.
Very little has been done to-day, but prices have ad-
vanced, and the market is firm. Consols. are 94 921
for Money, and 921 928 for the Aecount 14th Oct.
Three per Cents. Reduced, 92* 924 ; Three-and-a-
Half per Cents. Reduced, 104. 101 fr ; New Three-
and-a-Half per Cents., 1008 100 C; Bank Stock has
declined to 168/ ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New,
4Q, 51 prem.
The Foreign Market is flat. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. have been sold at 52* ; the Five per
Cents., 1024 ; and Chilian, 89.
The quotations for Mexican are 34/.
The Share Market has been without business, be-
yond a purchase in Great Western Half-Shares, 61+ ;
Blackwall, 82 ; and York and North Midland, 88.
No bargains have been made in Bonds, except one
in Colombian at 208, and one in Spanish Three per
Cents., 20.

The letters by the Great Western have been deli-
vered ;. but during the short time which has elapsed
between her departure and that of the British Queen,
the intelligence presents no new feature.
