The prices of the Fundy 1 ;.., flat u it just
previously to the close o!- . when it war;
stated that a pigeon express bad arrived, bringing in-
telligence from India. It is reported that a movement
was about to be 'made upon Caubul, and, from certain
circumstances, with every prospect of success, not
only for recovering the captives, bat also for re-as-
serting our power
.in that quarter ; and, that more
phiceslad Allen to our arms in China. • Although
this mode of communication is viewed with so much
suspicion, and is scarcely ever credited, Consols ad-
Vanced to 93 931 for Money, 931 931 and for the
Account; India Stock, 248 250 ; Exchequer Bills, Old,
51 53; New, 50 52 premium.
The prices of Foreign Securities were firm. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52 521 ; the Five per
Cents., 100; 1001; Belgian, 1021 1031; Danish, 82
83; and Brazilian, 63 64.
The accounts' of the proceedings of Santa Anna
have had an unfavourable effect upon the quotations
for Mexican Bond; which have declined to 32:1 33.
The'alteration in the prices of the shares was but
trifling-, the market generally being good. London
and Birmingham were 182 184; Great Western, 82
83 ; the Half shares, 591 60; Birmingham and
Gloucester; 38 40; South Western, 57i 581.; North
Midland, 56 58 ; the New shares, 274- 28 ; South
Eastern and Dover, 221 23 ; Eastern Counties, 8i
9 ; Northern and Eastern, 35 36 ; Blackwall, 61 7 ;
and Brighton; 36 361 per share.
The Bonds were thus quoted—Colombian, 201
21 ; Peruvian, 154 161 ; Portuguese Five per Cents.,
36 61; the Three per Cents., 211 211- ; Spanish
Five per Cents., 16 161; the nine, per Cents.,
2O 201.
The Indigo Market has exhibited a greater'degree
of activity than is usual just previously to the com-
rnencementnr a periodical sale. The large quantity of
18,000 chests will be offered for sale thiS October,
;Lnd; 'consequently, the intelligence from lndia is
acq4ed forward to with rather increased anxiety, in
order' to guide both buyerS and sellers in their ope-
rationi. The last accounts left "the' probabl.e
extent. of the forthcoming..crop somewhat in doubt, a
considerable difference existing between several of the
eilcYlations. The effect of this uncertainty has also
bell felt in France, and consequently must mate-
rially influence the amount of orders transmitted for
nexportation at the approaching auctions. The
wujnber of buyers from "show"g districts
have Arrived to the has exceeded a fair
; 'Slid this' fact, coupled. with the extensive
;err
Inin-„ta,ses, of wool at the sales which have lately ter
of have led to the expectation that the accounts.
• an miprovement in the woollen trade was not
incorrect.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
the day has been exceedingly small. Consols are 92+
foe d 1
and 93 for the ACcount; New Three-
!l,-a-llalf per Cents., 100+ 101 ; Exchequer Bills,
Old, 50 52 ; New, 51 prem.
. eTransactions in Foreign Securities have been con-
nd to Dutch at the prices of yesterday ; the Two-
Itud-ed aHalf per Cents., 52+ 521, and the Five per
Cents., 1001.
, the quotation for Mexican Bonds, which advanced
Lo 3321,
has since given way to 33, in consequence of
some sales which have been effected.
The Share Market has been more brisk. The
anxiety of some parties to secure their profit, consequent
upon the late rise in Brighton shares, has caused a re-
action in the price, and consequently they have re-
ceded from 36+ to 3.54 36. London and Birmingham
have been sold at 183 ; Great Western, Half Shares,
60; South Western, 58 ; South Eastern and. Dover,
Scrip, 12+ ; Eastern Counties, New, •101. Is. Bd. ;
Dlackwall, ; York and North Midland, 90; and
tdinhurgh and Glisgow, 46.
The Bonds quoted to-day are—POrtuguese Five
Per Cents., 361; and Spanish Five per Cents., 20+,
each of which is below the rates of last evening.
The intelligence from the West Indies, received by
the Dee, is extremely favourable. The crop had all
been gathered, and though some of it had been de-
stroyed in consequence of the want of labour, yet the
quantity of sugar had far exceeded previous anticipa-
tions, in fact so much so, that there had not been suf-
ficient vessels to bring it away before the Ist of Au-
gust. This abundance had created more activity in
commercial affairs, though they are represented gene-
rally to be far from a healthy condition, the number
of persons who. had lately availed themselves of
the Insolvent Act bearing out this view. The
labourers had, during the season, worked well
'.M cheerfully, and are said to be gradually
becoming convinced of the advantage to be derived
fraelOa lii-ood understanding with their employers.
Aithoogh •several free Africans had arrived at Ja-
-11166,4tt11' more would be required if cultivation
were to be extended next season, as it is intended it
altabe. It would appear that the colonists having
taken alarm at the intention of admitting foreign
sugars for consumption in this country, and from the
great increase in the quantity from British India, had
: r.vat the determination to exert themselves in
Kilter:that these islands shall again be able to reach
their 'former exports. The accounts from Demerara
are also more cheering, but still very unfavourable.
It would seem that dissensions among the inhabitants
themselves are causing quite as much mischief as the
refusal of the negroes to work, and who are
strengthened in their proceedings by the pernicious
example of their employers.
From Mexico the intelligence is of no great im-
portance, neither does it add any new feature to that
last received.- The invasion of Texas had apparently
• been laid aside for an expedition against Campeachy,
but this, from all accounts, is not likely to prove suc-
cessful. The opinion that Santa Anna is seeking the
supreme power, is, to a certain degree, confirmed by
the arbitrary exercise of that with which he is at
present invested, and, in consequence, he had lost
some portion of the confidence of the civilians, whom
it was thought he was sacrificing to increase his
position with the army, on which, it is said, he chiefly
relied to aid his projects. Trade was gradually, but
slowly, reviving, and great expectations were formed
that a further and more decided improvement would
shortly take place.
