LaYDON LATEST NEX',S.

Saturday Evening, Hulf-past Seven o'clock.
Rumours are again afloat as to the approaching dissolution of
the cabinet. The king is reported in the best informed circles

at the west end to have insisted Upon the disjunction of the
government from the O'Connell party. The question therefore
arises, can the present ministry exist without O'Connell's aid,
and if deprived of his influence, will he not open the flocalgates
of his eloquence to destroy the work of his own hands?
The speech of the Queen of Spain, upon the assembling of
the Cortes, was looked for with considerable anxiety this after-
noon; but up to a late hour this evening not one of the many
courili3 who have been engaged to convey to London, to the
principle capitalists and others, the particulars, had arrived.
It is fully expected that the contents of this important docu-
ment will be received to-morrow.

Accounts have been received to-day from Canada to the 22d
ult. The near approach of the assembling of .the Colonial
Legislature of the Lower Province had given increased activity
to nearly all parties in Quebec. Meetings had been held by
the party headed by M. Papineau, in order to insure his re-
election as speaker of the house of Assembly. This no doubt
would be accomplished without difficulty; and such are the
feelings of the French party, that an early prorogation of the
assembly was confidently anticipated. The commissioners were
pursuing their inquiries into the causes of the disagreements
which have existed in the colony. The weather in Quebec had
again become mild, and the fall trade was pretty active. A
petition had been agreed to, which it was intended to present
to both Houses of the Legislature, for the establishment of
register-offices in Quebec and Montreal, with the view of regis-
tering mortgages and other incumbrances upon land. It is
stated in a letter received from the district of Gaspe that great
injury bad been done to parties engaged with fisheries on that
coast, by the encroachments of the American fishermen, who
not only fished beyond the limits allowed by the existing treaty,
but went on shore to take bait. The Americans had acted in
the most insolent manner towards the local authorities on their
interfering to check the improper practice. A petition was in
progress of signature to his majesty's government, praying that
a vessel of war might be sent to cruize in the neighbourhood.
A specimen of raw silk produced in Guadeloupe was exhibited
on 'Change this afternoon, being the first produce of that island,
and the sample has excited much interest in the trade, the fila-
ture being exceedingly fine, and the coucons larger than those
produced either in Italy or India. The fact that silk can be
raised in the oolony referrato is of more importance, as it is
understood that the attention of some of our West India planters
has been drawn to the subject of rearing the silkworm in our
own colonies, which might in some degree take the place of
sugar cultivation, which, under the new system of labour, and
the anticipated repeal of the duty upon East India sugar, will
be less profitable than heretofore.

The money market continues in a very tranquil state. Con-
sols for account, having opened at 91, receded to 91-1, at which
they left off buyers. For January the closing quotation was
91:1.

It is expected that the commissioners for the litigated 'West
India claims will make two or three large purchases of consols
before the closing of the transfer-books, fixed to take place on
Wednesday, the 2d December. It is therefore not improbable
that, before the transfer-books close, the commissioners will
hold not less than from £3,500,000 to £4,000,000 sterling, on
account of litigated claims. The omnium of the West India
loan closed a shade higher to-day, namely, at 4i prem. Exche-
quer bills left off at from 12s. to 14s. pm., and India bonds at
4s. pm. Bank stock has risen this afternoon from 210 to 211
India stock remains at 256.

The market for Spanish bonds has been in a feverish state, in
consequence of the anxiety of the dealers to learn the contents
of the speech on the opening of the cortes. The consolidated
bonds have fluctuated between 481 to 4i, closing this after-
noon at 4S a. The deferred stock has improved from 24,1 to 251;
and the passive bonds from lt4 to 15i. A slight improvement
has also taken place in Portuguese stock, the Five per cents
leaving off this afternoon at 91, and the three per cents. at 59.
French stock is not at all affected by the anticipated rupture
between France and America, tbe 5 per cent:Rentes being quoted
at 108 f., and the four per (rents. at 991. The South American
securities have been in rather 'better demand this afternoon,
Mexican having advanced to 381; Chilian to 444; and Colum-
bian from 331 to 34.
In the share market business has been rather slack to-day.
The Greenwich railway shares have dropped to 74; the London
and Brighton to 34 prem.; and the Great Western to 151. The
Danube and Maine shares are rather higher to-day, closing at
