ACTUAL RESULT OF THE SUBSCRIPTION UP TO TIIE
PRESENT PERIOD.

.C. S. D
1. Total amount nominally subscribed for the Voyage 2238 4 0
2. Total expences of every kind incurred for the underta-
king 637 5 6
3. Proportion of the subscribed amount actually paid llO9 10 0
4. Proportion of the subscribed amount subsequently
withdrawn. .
5. Proportion of the subscribed amount not paid at 1128 14 0
6. Nett sum available for the purchase of an annuity 369 14 6
7. Atnqunt of annuity which this sum will secure 25 0 0

It will be seen that the whole amount of the available
sum is £369 14s. 6d. Mr. BUCKINGHAM is desirous,
with a modesty that is truly becoming, that this sum
should be diverted to the purchase of an annuity, which
he calculates would reach about £25 per annum during
the remainder of his life. We are of the same opinion.
The people of Sheffield must be anxious that their repre-
sentative should have an independence of £25 per an-
num. It would at least prevent the honourable member
from becoming a burthen on the parish. But we are not
confident that his laudable desires can be gratified. His
Whig friends seem to hold a stiff hand upon the cash.—
Lord BROUGHAM, Lord DURHAM, Lord Jorusr, and others,
decline parting with their money; and Mr. BUCKINGHAM
has been reduced to the forlorn necessity of publishing
them to the world as defaulters. The following is the list,
which we publish for the amusement of our readers. It
is as curious a document as we has'e chanced to see since
the days of Colonel WARDLE and Queen CAROLINE:--

It was old COBDETT, we believe, who gave an immor-
tal sobriquet to the honest historian who is the proprietor
of the Leeds Mercury. But tliat sobriquet, though
rigidly just, is of too multifarious a sound for tender ears,
and, therefore, we pass it sub silentio.
The wonderful personage to whom we allude, and who
has been a soft of undress footman to all the political
quacks of the day, and, hi other respects, the COSTER or
the ADY of the press, has, it appears, been detected in
circulating certain slanders against Mr. SADLER. These
slanders were of the very foulest kind; and it was im-
possible for any gentleman, no matter how much he
might otherwise despise their author, to pass them by
without notice.

A threatened prosecution led to an apology—to an
humble apology—to such an apology, dictated. by over-
whelming guilt, as we never read in the whole course of
our experience. It will be found under.the head "Con-
temporary Press ;" and those who
.have a taste that way
will be gra.Ctied to the full extent of their desires.
CCIBBETT was right; his nickname. will survive the man

Sir Robert Heron, en Thursday, gave notice, that Rule 13
he should apply for leave to bring inn bill ." to prevent the ne-
regsity of a member holding an office -under the Crown vacating
hi: scat in Parliament upon e❑ exchange of t?qice; reins to su-
persede the necessity of appealing to the constituency as to the
propriety of the member's conduct, in the event of his taking
vii ,tier cr other office. Such an act would have been very use-
ful to Sir J. C. Hobliouse. But the motion will never be made.

Saturday Evening, Halipast Seren o'clock.
The Consol Market has been exceedingly animated during
the last few days, and the settlement of die account, which
took place on the 221, has been followed by a very consider-
able advance. The account passed over without any defalca-
tion, and consols for the new account were thine this morning
as high as 8911, but finally closed at BJ,'-F„ and 3 per cents. for
money left oft at 89k. India Stock and. Bank Stock are both
higher; the former is quoted at 231 to 235, and the latter at
1081. Exchequer Bills arc 51 to 52, and India Bonds 30 to 32.
Great speculation has ,taken place in Portuguese Stock and
Scrip, and the former his:advanced to 591 601, and the Scrip
to 28 discount. All the Northern Bonds are better than
when we last wrote; Russian are 103-,1 101, Dutch 4811, Bel-
gian 888 i 84 and Danish 731 74. Large purchases of Bra-
zilian Stock have been made, which has advanced the price to
70a 714.
The Quebec papers contain a proclamation from Lord
Aylmer, the governor-in-chief; dated the 13th ult.. ordering all
vessels from that date, for the eight following months, from Eu-
rope or elsewhere, to perform a quarantine at Grosse Isle, in
the river St. Lawrence, for forty days, unless they should receive
sooner a license of discharge, signed by two members of the
executive council. A representation had however been made
to the governor, and it was hoped that vessels arriving with
clean bills of health, and without any sick person on board,
would not be detained, but vessels would be required to land
their passengers at Grosse Isle.
The accounts from Havana state that the captain-general, in
his dispatches to Spain, gives the deaths from cholera, between
the 25th of February and the Ist of April, at fourteen thousand
five hundred. More than two thirds of the victims were ne-
groes. Some of the plantations in the interior, situated in low
and marshy spots, or on the margin of rivers, had suffered se
verely. Confidence was completely restored at Havana since
since its disappearance.
We have accounts from Bona, by which we learn, that on the
21st ult. the French had sent out an expedition of 230 cavalry
against the Arab tribe Oulet d'Attia. A sharp action took place,
which ended in the Arabs being put to flight, after losing thirty-
one killed, and six prisoners.
We Lind by the accounts from Montreal that a dreadful tire
had occurred there at the British American Hotel, at the time
of the Soiree Musical, at which about thirty ladies and gentle-
men had assembled, who were only preserved by being taken
down ladders through the windows, so rapid was the progress
of the flames. Captain Back, who had put up there, fortunately
secured his baggage and instruments. Several other houses
were partially injured, and the church of Bousecours preserved
with great difficulty.
