THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1526.
STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE (murk.

Consols opened this. morning at that same price they left oft
yesterday, at 791 / for the Account ; and soon after some Sales
were effected, which turned the market to 791 sellers for Account,l
and for Money 791, with little doing.

In consequence of the great dearth of information, the general
topic of conversation in the City is Mr. Secretary Carratrw's tour
to Paris, and various conjectures are formed on the subject.
The Hamburgh steam-boat, due on Monday, has not arrived up
to the present time, and 4i per Cent. was given on her this morning.
This is settling day in the Foreign market, and the chief business
doing is in settling Accounts. No failures have as yet taken place.
Current prices: Old Spanish 9i I, Mezican 54i, Colombian
new 34 34, Peruvian 24 26, Russian 62i j, Greek Bonds 12 *,
Brazilian Shares 7 to 9 prem.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Consol Market has remained steady the whole of the morn-
ing, with a fluctuation of i per cent. In the earlier part of the
morning they were at 794 for the Account, and up to the present
time may be quoted at 794, and for Money at 791. The business
has been very limited, with little or no speculations.
In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have experienced some
fluctuation. In the commencement of tie market they were done
at 524, and in the co urse of the morning they rose to 54, in
consequence of the report that the Mexican Dividend would .be
advertised this evening.
The Dutch steam boat has arrived, brmging accounts from Ham-
burgh of last Friday. In consequence of our ports being open for
Corn, Etc. the Exchange at Hamburgh has fallen 14 per Cent.—
Russian Stock bas got up there 15 per Cent. Oats are exceedingly
high in the above city, 70 to 110 dollars currency per last.

We are withcrnt arrivals from the Continent this
morning. The French and Ditch Papers arrived in
course last night, and such parts of their contents
possessing interest are given in this and other columns.

The most curious article in the French Journals is a
circular of General O'Dortmst. respecting the Portuguese
constitution. It must be a subject of great pain to every
liberal mind, to find General O'Dototzr. deciding on
the public institutions of a neighbouring State, and de-
claring it treason in Spain to testify satisfaction at the
establishment of freedom anywhere else.

The Allgeoteine Zeitung to the 7th inst. has reached
ns. A Captain, who arrived at Trieste on the 51st nit. in 21 days
from Samos; states, that the Turkish and Greek fleets were still
cruising of that island, in sight of each other. This account comes
down about fourteen days later than that received through the Frenoh
Papers on Tuesday. It is also said that the Turks bad been de-
feated at Athens, contrary to what has been asserted ; but the news
of the defeat requires confirmation.
No one in the lonian Islands had heard any thing of Lord
Commun.

As might have been expected, the departure of Mr.
Secretary CANNING for the French capital has given
rise to a thousand ridiculous rumours. He is to settle
the affairs of Greece; reconcile the French Ministers to
the principles of reciprocity; and to work innumerable
miracles in the way of persuasion or negotiation. For
ourselves, we do not pretend to answer the cogent argu-
ments by which the parties assigning to the Right Hon.
Gentleman these several tasks support their own opi-
nions ; but we shall content ourselves with simply declar-
ing the general opinion, that Mr. CANNING'S journey
is whdlly unconnected with any political object what-
ever; that it is in fact neither more nor less than an
excursion of recreation, in which his family are to par-
ticipate, and the great inducement to the undertaking,
which is the pleasure to be derived from visiting valued
friends and intimate connections at present resident on
the Continzat.

The files of the STAR now contain the entire exposé
on the present state of our Shipping Interest. Its details
present a comprehensive view of one of the most im-
rortant questions tint engaged the attention of the
Legislature during the last Session, and we are sure our
Readers will agree with us, in considering, at a time
when the principles of Free Trade have been so ill un-
derstood by some, and wilfully perverted by others,
that oar columns could not be more usefully employed,
than by presenting Mr. HurntissoN's able and elaborate
view of a subject of the very first moment to a com-
mercial people.

The bubble schemes are daily bursting. What a
scene of ruin and 'desolation have several of the late
projects spread among numerous individuals and their
families! Many of the schemes were concocted merely
to raise the Shares to a nominal value, when those in
the secret sold out and realiseMeaving others to lament
their misplaced confidence, simplicity, and folly. It is
not probable, after the di,closuies and exposures Which

; • •

have taken place, that thatters lan temaloos they are,l
without the injured parties having iecourse to nitetior
proceedings. What these nsay be, will depend, of course,
on the nature of the transactions, as some of them differ
materially in character. At all events, the Gentlemen
of the Long Robe will reap a golden harvest by the
litigation that must follow, and it is not unlikely but
that the attention of the Legislature will be called to
circumstances arising out of these schemes, as it M said
that some individuals are determined to petition the
House of Commons on the subject, immediately after
the Mating cf Parliament.
