FOREIGN INTELLIG.ENCE

WEST rviDiEs,

I-ler Majesty's packet Petrel, Lieut. Crooke, arrived at
Falmouth on Saturday : her sailing dates were as follow :
Barbadoes, July 25 ; St. Lucia, Martinique, and Dominica,
Guadaloupe, 27; Antigua and Montserrat, 28 ; Nevis
slid St. Kitts, 29; Tortola, 39, arriving at St. Thomas's on
the 30th, where she remained waiting the arrival of the Lee-
ward Islands and the Jamaica Mails until August 18. Ja-
maica dates are to the 10th of August.• She had on freight
£lO6O. Passengers—Messrs. W ood, Cummings,
French, and Galves. The trial of Dr. Schroeter, for infan-
ticide. which created intense interest throughout the West

Indies, had terminated in a verdict of " not guilty."
The brig Vesper, Stephenson, from Philadelphia, reports
that he got on shore, on the 26th ult., on the Caicos Reef,
at midnight. He had to throw over a quantity of corn to
lighten her, and finding the tide had left her, he lay to
until the next day, when he succeeded in getting her off,
and after being afloat, he found her making water, and was
compelled to keep both pumps working. Spoke, off the Reef,
the brig America, of and from New York, bound to Car-
thagena, out 12 days, all well.
The following extract of a letter from Lima gives an excel-
lent idea of the heroes of the South American republics :
" Gen. Gamarra bids fair to last out his presidential term.
He has just succeeded in quieting an outbreak, in which 3000
men were in arms against him ; but, like true Peruvians, no-
body was killed on either side, and the chiefs of the party
that ran most (Vivanco, &c.) have escaped into Bolivia.
Santa Cruz is yet in Escuador, threatening a coalition attack
with Flores. I hope it may never take effect, as we are bet-
ter off with those we have than we would be with a change
effected in that manner."

We do not hear of anything of special interest by this ar
rival.

LONDON MONEY-MARKET.

SATURDAY EVENING.-At the Stock Exchange to-day a
sort of dispute arose between the jobbers as to the accuracy
of the price made on a sale of 31 per Cent. Reduced, which
was effected by a special transfer, and which, it is thought,
will probably furnish a question for the decision of the com-
mittee that superintends the affairs of that establishment.
It would, we are given to understand, have been brought
before the committee to-day, but the transaction took place
at such an advanced hour that it was impossible to summon
it, and, therefore, at present the matter stands in statu quo.
The relation of the affair is, that the price made is nearly
one half per cent. under what it usually is, as compared
with the other quotations, and as the jobbers could see
nothing which should so influence the value of this particu-
lar security, they are of course anxious to know what could
induce a sale to be made at such a sacritice. The quotation
made is 98Z, which is exactly the same price as that for New
3j per Cents., which latter stock, it will be recollected, is
not closed for transfer till the next shutting. In other
respects the government stocks were better, some purchases
of New 31 per Cents. having been made on private account.
Consols for money closed 894 to ; ditto account, 90k to k ;
India Stock, 2461 to 7 ; and Exchequer Bills, 12s. to 14s.
premium.
Spanish stock was heavy all day, and closed 211 to -1; the
other foreign securities were not materially altered ; Dutch
21 per Cents., 511 to 52 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 1024 to ;
Portuguese 5 per Cents., 30 to ; ditto 3 per Cents., 18 to
; Colombian, 204 to 211; and Mexican, 251 to 4; Danish,
79 to 80 ; and Belgian, 102 to 103.
