LONDON LATEST NEWS.

City, Half-past Seven o'clock, Saturday Evening.
We understand that Lord Eliot has been dispatched by our
government to Don Carlos, with propositions fOr the'evacuation
of Spain, and also with an expression of the determination of
the English cabinet, in conjunction with France, to put an end
to the unnatural contest prevailing in the peninsula, a contest
in which the sanguinary massacres perpetrated speak far more
of the character of the savage than of that of civilized mad. We
also learn, this afternoon, that intelligence has reached Paris
entirely contradicting the reported illness of Mina. This man
of blood, it appears. is so far from ill, that he was preparing a
grand blow of slaughter, and hed formed plans for carrying on
his war of extermination upon a larger scale than heretofore.
A notice has been issued by our Postoffice this afternoon, to
the effect that newspapers to and from Colombia, including La
Guayra, Caraccas, Carthagena, Bogota, &c. may be forwarded
by the Jamaica packet free of any charge of postage.
Accounts from St. Lucia state, that in consequence of the
complainti from Gnadaibupe and Martinique,t as well as the
consequent inconvenience to the island, the governor had issued
a proclamation stating, that any slave escaping from any foreign
colony to St. Lucia, would, upon conviction, be sul.ject to im-
prisonment and hard labour for a period of not more than six
months,' nor less than two.

Within the last day or two money has been scarcer than
during the last week, and the proceedings of " the faction" have
not ben calculated to inspire the capitalist with. confidence.
The national securities have accordingly been flat, the price of
Consols for money having touched upon 911 sellers. and for the
account upon 91i. The market has,,however been firmer to-
day, and the closing price was 9li.
Our foreign market has been similarly affected, but has also
rallied, and the last prices of the various securities are given in
the official lists as follows:

The Rev. Richard Williams, M. A. of Liverpool, and late
Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, has been appointed
head master of the Grammar School at Wigan, by the trustees
of that ancient institution.

SOMETHING MYSTER rous.—The Dublin correspondent of the
Morning Herald communicates the following, which he says is
likely to give employment to the gentlemen of the long robe :
" A few months ago, an eminent merchant in this city, who,
together with his lady, was remarkable for the profuse lavishing
of his money towards Roman Catholic charities, has, much to
the surprise and consternation of the mercantile world, stopped
payment. On a meeting of the creditors it was discovered, in
addition to the vexation of the assets being much less than what
might have been reasonably expected, that a very large sum of
money—alleged to be the property of the lady—had been so
vested in a religious society of ladies, that to lay a finger on it
seemed wholly out of the question. However, ene of the cre-
ditors, an attorney, thought otherwise, and forthwith prepared
to take such measures as would be most likely to recover th
cash from the pious sisters; and as a foretaste of his intentions,
he laid a detainer on the body corporate of one of the highest
functionaries of the Romish church, who, it appears, had medi-
tated a continental trip pending the disclosures likely to be re-
vealed by this singular transaction, as his reverence's tyidyt)c..o
is considered to be of the stmost importance.'.'. '
