STOCK. EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Csmaols, which left of at sok to d for the Account, opened this
morning at the same price, and soon after they were done at 881;
since which they are again 801 buyers, with very little doing at
prmenl, and for next Account 801 6, with a steady market. Few
operations of importance are expected to take place until the
Quarter's Revenue is known.

In the Foceign market, the only busineu doing is in Colombian
Bonds, which opened at 56, and went up to 57 to 4, owing to a
report that Messrs. /Lamas were going ro pay the Colombian
Dividend.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Consol market has remained steady the whole of the morn•
lag, with scarce a fluctuation of / per Cent. Consols may be quoted
up to the present time at 801 buyers for the Account, and 801 1 for
November. To morrow theing a very strict day with the Hebrews,
called the White Fast. few or none of them will make theirappear-
ance either on 'Change or the Stock Exchange, consequently few
operations of consequence are expected to take place.
In the Foreign Market, Colombian Bonds are the chief specula-
tion the whole of the morning. in consequence of a certain Hebrew
Gentleman, who is said to have received an express yesterday tie
France, that five hundred and forty thousand dollars had arrived
at Carthagena, to be sent to England to pay the Colombian Dividend.
At present there is no credit attached to this' report, as there are
letters in town of a very recent date from Bogota, stating that the
country was in anarchy. Still the account of the dollars arriving
at Carthagena, has had the effect to get up Colombian Bonds to :581,
which is a rise to-day 0121 per Cent. In an other South American
Securities and Shares there is nothing doing.

Extract of a letter from Captain RYN, of the 50th
Regiment, at Panama, dated the 28th of July : " The
Congress at Panama was dissolved on the 23d ult. and
was to reassemble in the City of Mexico, in conse-
quence of a false rumour of an intended insurrection
at Panama. Several respectable individuals had been
arrested and imprisoned, and martial law proclaimed,
which continued for five days; but it having, on inves-
tigating', been found that the rumour was unfounded,
the parties were liberated : since which, everything
remains quiet at Panama and Chagres."

French Papers to the Bth instant, and the Etoik of
Sunday, have reached us. The Journal des Ikbels justly ascribes the
evasive and dilatory answer given by the Infant Don Mount. to
his Sister's request, that he would swear to the Constitution, to the
habit of dissimulation which forms the chief character of Austrian
policy. It observes, at the same time, that the more mature and
free shall be Don bliourn:s deliberations, the more authentic,
solemn, and binding, will be his adhesion to the acts of his Brother
and Knob. It looks upon Prince METTINNICII as the real author of
the letter, and argues that his object was to gain time, in order to,
ask openly for some guarantee against the possible results of estab-
fishing a constitutional system, and secretly for some modifications
of the system itself ; a demand, however, to which the Rumens
Rioure has, we trust, too much spirit to accede: With respect to
the Russian ssitiesetans, the same Paper states that it bad filled the
whole Divan with so much indignation that no one would venture
to lay its conditions before the SULTAN. "Do you wish to lay the
knife on our threats .pas the exclamation of the Rana EVIPUNDI,
when Mr. blawstacci explained its nature. To demand that ac-
cording
to treaties, a legal order should be established in Wallachia
and Moldavia, was, in the opinion of Turkish statesmen, to dis-
meMber the empire of those two provinces. But the most offensive
thins is said to be that of six millions of silver roubles (about one
million sterling), as a compensation for the pillage and vexations
experi►nced by the inhabitants. The members it the Divan looked
upon it as an attempt to make the Porte do what it had never done
before—pay tribute to Christians, and the possibility of the SULTAN
ever submitting to such an insult and sacrifice, did not even seem to
enter their minds. Under these circumstances the conferences of
Ackermann may serve to delay the breaking out of hostilities, but
can seam ly create a hope in the most sanguine, that peace can be
ultimately maintained.

Frankfort Papers to the 4th inst. inform us that the
King of Havasu, though a Catholic, had approved of a plan for
building a Protestant Church in his capital, and bad ordered the
necessary steps to be immediately taken for laying its foundations.
The want of a regular place of worship had long been felt by the
Protestant inhabitants of Munich, and a wish that it should be re-
medied had been expressed by the States in their last Session to the
Kiva. Measures were alto taking to bring the University from
Landshiat to the capital, and the Monarch had given a further mark
of his liberality, by assigning a sum of 50,000 florins out of his
privy purse, to found an establishment for the support and educa-
tion of born blind children. The interest of this sum was to be
appropriated to the Establishment, whilst the capital would be
employed In assisting pour landowners who wanted money for the
cultivation of their lands. The turn given in charities by the Kinn
out of the privy purse, during the present year, is said to be

1300,000 florins, exclusively of the large contribution which he sent '
to the Committee for the relief o the Greeks.
A Correspondence, in no small degree curious, inte-
resting, and Livonia, is published between the .French Admiral
in the La Plata station, and the Brazilian Admiral blockading the
port of Buenos Ayres, arising out of the capture of a French mer-
chantman by the Brazilian squadron. The curiosity of the thing la,
that the old doctrine of BUONATAit; viz. the "flag covering the
cargo," has here been ievived by the °dicer of Cumatais X. on the
authotity of the armed neutrality of 1780, and that the British doe-
trine, f contra, is maintained by the Portuguese on the evidence of
the old laws and ordinances of the French Government, long previ-
ous to 1780. But France is now a neutral power, and feels the
same interest in the cause of a free bottoms" that the United States
contended for during the whole of our war with Buotiaraava.

SATH op Ma. CON2IOI4—Ws lament to state that
Mr. Conson, of Covent-garden Theatre, after dining
with some theatrical friends on Saturday evening, on
his way home through St. James's Park, fell down and
instantly expired, while in company with a young
female, who was the first to give notice to the gate.
keeper of his death. His body was conveyed to St.
George's Hospital, where it was soon ascertained that
his immediate death *as occasioned by the rupture of
an aneurism of the aorta, and not of apoplexy, as stated
in the Morning Paper. The Coroner's Inquest will
probably give further particulars. He was respected
as a sincere friend, and well-bred Gentleman by all who
had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Since Jack
Johnstone he has been the only efficient representative of
Irish characters.

A plan is said to have been concerted for the total
abilities olds gm system, as it is called, at the regular Theatres,
which May awaits the arrival of Mr. Paws to be confirmed.
Shedd dm managers and proprietors agree, each Theatre will gra-
dually esquire a geed amapany of actors, after the manner of the
aid aehed. shot these managers, by their profligate competition,
laud high salaries given to individuals, have, during late years, sadly
undermined,
undermined, merely to gratify the inordinate vanity and extrava-
pat demands of actors who call themselves Stars, nearly to their
own ruin, and to the destruction of the character and attraction of
the legitimate drama.

Saturday, the Committee of the Stock Exchange met
again en the affair of Israel, and passed the following vote of ceo.
sure: 4, Resolved, that the conduct of Mr. Israel, in inducing the
Clerk of Mr. Wetenhall, to mark a price of French rent!!, after
the regular hour of business (four o'clock) and contrary to the rules
and regulations of the Stock Exchange. and after a refusal to mark
the price by Mr. Wetenhall himself, is highly censusable, and
that Mr. Israel be reprimanded accordingly.'
At a night review of the miners of Schemaitz by two
of the Archdukes of Austria, the whole appeared clad in their
working dresses, bearing all their implements, and each person
having in his hand the lamp with which he descends into the mine.
By an ingenious and well-contrived movement of the whole corps,
whets the Archdukes came to view them from the balcony of the
Director's house, they were so arranged that their lamps, as they
stood, exhibited the initials A. and R. in illuminated letters, cover-
ing in ass instant the whole square.
'ue following letter has been received at Lloyd's, from
the Consul-General and Agent at St. Michael's:

" On board his Matesty's ship Diamond, off Terceira, Aug. 51,1826.
" Sta,—His Majesty's ship Java landed near St. Michael's on the
12th inst. and sailed on the 14th, on her voyage to India. On the
16th the Diamond, unit* the command of Lord Napier, having
his Excellency Sir Charles Stuart, the British Ambassador, so
board, appeared off, with a large ship distrusted in tow • on going
on board, I found it to be a ship laden with timber, that the
Vice-Consul, Kendall, bad reported to you as having put into St.
M 's, and to which island Mr. Kendall went over in his Majesty's
ship Haraeouta, to afford every assistance in his power to the vessel,
and to rescue her from the grasp of the Portuguese Authorities '
there, who wanted to have the vessel and cargo sold there for a
mere trifle; with the assistance that Mr. Kendall procured, the
vessel was pumped out, her rafts-ports secured and caulked, andl
she is now fitted with jury-masts by Lord Napier, who intends'
taking her to England. She is supposed to be the same skip that 'I
Lord Byron fell in with six months ago, and took away the few'
surviving crew, who bad subsisted on the dead bodies of their
fellow-creatures. As Lod Napier has displayed so much zeal, and
is so desirous of getting the vessel to England, I have abstained
from all interference as Agent to Lloyd's, other than giving him
any assistance in money to pay her disbursements at St. Mary's,'
which his Lordship has repaid me. I accompanied Sir Charles
Stuart to the Island of Terceira, and since here I have had an official
application from Captain Jose de Marcaida, of the Spanish ship Ver.
dadeircas Amejos, laden with a valuable eargo from Manilla, bound
to Cadiz, to grant him convoy, as he is afraid of Insurgent priva-
teers. Lord Napier has very properly declined giving the Spanish
Captain formal convoy instructions, but has permitted him to sail
with the Diamond. so far u their course may lie together, in consi-
deration of bet being insured in London to the amount of 100,000
dollars; and I have advised the Spanish Captain to put into Vigo or
Corunna, and there wait protection of convoy from his own Gd.
vernment to Cadiz. I hope what I have done and advised will meet
the approbation of the parties interested. I have the honour to be, &c.
a W. HA RDI NG READ, Consul-General.
John Bennett, Esq. Lloyd's."
French partridges were, not more than ten years ago,
exceedingly rare in this country, but in Norfolk they now are be-
coming very numerous, and are met with in large coveys. They
are prettier, or rather more fantastically decorated, than the English
birds. They have red legs and beaks • heads feathered and marked
more variegatedly—as are the bodies. For eating they are prefer-
rd by many to the English, being much plumper. They do not,
however, afford much amusement to the sportsman. When found,
they have not the courage to take to their wings, but run to the
hedge-rows, and thus fall a prey to the dogs, without a shot having
been fired.
It is an evil presage in a house when the hen crows
with the cock, and the wife speaks louder than the husband!
