LONDON LATEST NEWS.

Saturday Evening, Half-past Seven o'clock.
Although there have been snails both from Malta and froth
Mexico, the intelligence by either has notpossessed much politi-
cal interest. The Malta Gazettes are unusually barren; but we
learn from the accounts from Mexico that tranquillity prevailed,
and that the new Government was consolidating its powers.—
The information from the Real del Monte Mines has been most
favourable, new veins having been opened and found rich in
the precious ore. In consequence of this the shares have been
objects of considerable speCulation to-day, and Real del Monte
aaanced £l.O upon yesterday's prices, the quotation having been
as high as £3l. It finally- left off at E3O 10s. to £3l 10s. Bo-
[anus Shares have also risen, haVing been as high as but
closed at £135. We find by these accounts that the injunction
against the United Mexican Company still remained in force, and
this caused souse alarm among the holders this morning, many
sales being made and the price being at one time as low as £9 ss.
It rallied however as the day advanced and left off at £ll 10s.
to £l2 3' share.
. The Lonsol Market has exhibited but little speculation for the
last two days. Yesterday the price was heavy at 891, for the
Account, but it has since rallied and closed this afternoon at
90A 1. Exchequer Bills have risen to 52 51, and India. Bonds
are at 31 to 33.
In the Foreign. Market the speculation has been chiefly con-
fined to Portuguese Scrip. The new buccaneering scheme of
Don Pedro against Lisbon has infused some hope of plunder in
the minds of that Imperial Corsair's friends here, and. the Scrip
which had been done on Thursday at 3 discount is now only
discount. According to opinion of the best informed persons
here, the squadron and military force sent against the Portuguese
capital is on one of those impossible expeditions in which the
demand for arrears of pay will be for ever stifled by the hand of
death, or in other words, that its success is perfectly hopeless.—
Don Pedro's motive for sending his deluded dupes to certain de-
struction is doubtless best known to himself. Brazilian Bonds
are 611 ; Spanish, 194 ; Dutch, 4i-}; Belgian, 94-, 92; and
Mexican, 374
It is expected that Mr. Stanley will bring in his West India
Compensation Bill on Monday or Tuesday; but nothing positive
is known on this head.

The Prince Talleyrand's departure is now said to be uncer-
tain; all depends on the appointment of a successor, who, it is
confidently asserted, will not be General Count Flahaut.
DESPERATION.—We take the following from the Courrier du
Gard, of the 11th inst. :—About ten o'clock last night, four
young men of Uzes, Messrs. G—, F , G—, amt C ,
none of them more than twenty years of age, but noted for the
violence of their philosophical and republican opinions, having
come to an agreement to destroy themselves, left a coffee-house
where they had been carousing, each armed with a pistol, and
carrying with them four bottles of white wine, and a bottie of
liqueur, and proceeded to the farm of M. G—, which was
about a quarter of a league from the town. Here they lighted
a candle, and loaded their pistols, first coolly cutting the balls,
which were ton large for the barrels. This done, M. C--
took out his watch, and found that it wanted five minutes to
eleven, the hour at.which they were. to deprive themselves of
life. When the clock struck-ho again took up his pistol, upon
which M. C.— proposed that they should wait till midnight,
to which the.other replied, No! no! it is useless, I will show
you how the aet is done." He then went to the door, placeii
his pistol under his chin, drew the trigger, and in au instant lay
dead at the feet of his companions. The other M. G.-- then
seized his pistol, and said it is now my turn; but he was stop-
ped by 0., who, after some difficulty, prevailed upon,him to de-
sist, and by continued persuasions at length overcame the reso-
lution of F. also,• who; at first, was inclined to resent with
violence the interference of C. The three survivors then
proceeded to acquaint the procureur Roi with what had oc-
curred, and at one in the morning the officers of justice pro-
ceeded to. take the usual measures as to the disposal of the body
of the deceased."
