Perhaps a numter of them were counting their itnagin•-

blown up before Christmas, and its projectors and specu-
lators either over the water or in gaol. Perha'ps some
were following the glory of a steeple chase, breaking
their necks, 'as we hope, while the cause of their coun-
try was making. shipwreck in the House of Commons.

By adviees from Cuba we learn that the director-general of the
finances there had decreed that all vessels entering in the ports
there for the purposes only of repairing damages shall be exempt
from tonnage duty, the exemption net to extend to cases where
any part of the cargo is sold, or where any commercial operation
of any kind takes place.
The cargo is directed to be deposited in entrep6t, subject to a
payment of 2 per cent., as established by the laws relative to
entrep6t.

The government of Uruguay has passed two decrees, by the
first of them, all captains of vessels from free ports, where there
are Consuls of the republic residing, must present to the customs
manifests revised by such agents of the republic, under a pe-
nalty of 6 per cent. on the value of merchandise not inserted in
the said manifest. Acts 2 and 3 state that the decree of the
17th January, 1834, is in force; with no other exception than for
vessels from free ports, without any distinction. The 2d decree
fixes the date for the accomplishment of the first article at, fur
vessels from Brazil four months, and from the other ports of
Europe and America eight months.
In Consols there is rather more buoyancy to-day than during
the last few days, and Consols for Marley left off at 912 I, and
for the Account at 914 Exchequer Bills, after being at 19 to
21, have receded to 18 to 20, but India Bonds have advanced,
and 4 to 6 was the price to-day.
In our .Foreign Market those luckless securities, the Spanish
and Portuguese Bonds, are the sport of every breeze and the
victims of every .report. Spanish Stock on Monday was as low
as 421, from which it has since rallied to 441, but at the close
this afternoon the price was 433 g. Portuguese 5 per Cents
were yesterday 771, but the left off at 781; and the 3 per Cents.
closed at 481 this afternoon. Dutch Bonds, during the last day
or two, so far as the 5 per Cents. are concerned, have been gra-
dually declining, in consequence of a general idea that they are
to be paid off: the price this afternoon was 103 a. The 22 per.
Cents. are steady at 56. Belgian are 1031. Russian Bonds, on
which the dividend is in course of payment, are 108,1.1 k ex-diy.
Alt the Iginds of the transatlantic republics are very flat.
Mexican are 33'. Colombian are 304, and have been 304 ; and

now, amount to £9,500. Amongst other munificent gifts is an
annual subscription of £lOO from Lord Francis Egerton, and a
donation of £l,OOO from Mr: I-L Birley, of Manchester. _
Whilst we regret to state that the excellent bishop of this dio-
cese has been convened by indisposition to withdraw himself
for the-present to Brighton, we have reason to believe that his
lordship's illness is not of a kind to give rise to serious alarm.
It appears to be an extreme prostration of strength, produced
by his unwearied devotion to the heavy claims of the important
station which he so worthily occupies. The restoration of his
lordship to health is, we are sure, an object of deep solicitude
with all who venerate the pious zeal, benevolence, and courtesy
which distinguish his character.—Salopiati Journal.
