LONDON LATEST NEWS.

City, Hall-past Seven o'clock Saturday Evening.
One of the first results of whig misrule, or, we may say, the
first foreign result has been made manifest from China to-day,
by the stoppage of the trade with England on the part of the
authorities of Canton, and the order of the viceroy to Lord
Napier to'quit 'that city. For the particulars of this affair we
refer to the journals ot this evening. The loss of our West
India colonies, the annihilation of oar East India trade, the
impelling of the mobocracy upon the throne and attar by level-
ling bills and democratic enactments will, beyond doubt, stand
on record as monuments of the most inefficient ministry Eng-
land ever was cursed-with, a ministry which, by its concerted
ignorance,- has caused more injury to the country in three brief
years, than can he repaired in the course of a century..
Our consol market was extremely buoyant Yesterday, and
toe price for the account was as high as 92g. Tile China affair
has, however, produced some heaviness this morning, and con-
sols for the account at one time were 92f i; rallying, however,
to 92j at the close of business. Exchequer bills remain at 42
to 43. Yesterday was the settling day in the foreign market,
and it produced one defalcation, the amount of which•is, how-
ever, small. The market was more buoyant yesterday than it
has been• fur some time past, particularly in the transatlantic
bonds. Brazilian were done at 87, being an advance of 6 per
cent, since the last settlement; Chilian touched upon 45, an ad-
vance of 10 per cent. since the last account day (16th inst.);.
Colombian touched upon 361, an advance of 31 per .cent. during
'the sasneperiod; Mexica:i.k. rose to 451, an improvement of 4
riper cent.; and Portuguese bonds advanced to 921, a rise of
lleirr:s per cent. All the•hor.thern stocks also patitook of the
'lmprovement. Id none ofkhese securities, however, has the.
4tilvance been maintained, as will be seen by the blowing

The following was received at Lloyd's late this afternoon:—
"Royal Swedish Norwegian General Consulate,
17, Great St. Helen's, Jan. 31, 1835.

"Sin,--Permit me, fur the;information of all whom it may
-*concern, to give notice that I am officially commanded to make
known that the cholera morbus has ceased to exist in the king-
Alum of Sw -den and itiorway. (Signed)
"To .W.,Dobsou, Esq., U. TOTTIE.
Secretary at Lloyd's."
According to the accounts from Naples, reaching to the' 14th
January, the sanatory precaution against the cholera, which
had been suspended several weeks, :had been 'again enforced
ill consequence of the malady having simultaneously shown
itself at Gette and Marseilles. Much dissatisfaction had been
expressed by the merchants at the excessive fears of the govern-
ment, which had caused them serious injury, in consequence of
the retaliatory system adopted by the French government in
requiring thirty.days quarantine on vessels from Naples. There
had been a considerable fall in oil, and severe losses had been
sustairicd from the extensive speculations in this article. General
Sebostrani is too iii to accept. the embassy to London. The truth
being, that the general is aware At is one thing to have to cajole
that protocolliug specimen of -foppery,'Lord Palmerston, and
another to face the straightforward and strong-minded mea-
sures of the Duke of Wellington.
According to our accounts from Stockholm to-day, the ex-
penses of the State conaUued to increase,' notwithstanding all
the efforts of the government, and the personal sacrifices of the
King. The paper money had become greatly depreciated, and
The ,expenses of tke budget had been quadrupled. Great dis-
.coutent prevailed throughout the kingdom, the literary men,
It he Manufacturers, and all not belonging to the clergy, de-
manding to form part of the assembly of the states. The order
vt' peasauts vim) had demanded a diminution of charges, and
,a reform of the national representation. 'The national debt
was daily augmenting, and every thing wore a decidedly bad'
-appearance.
- We are enabled positively to affirm that the reports of Lord
Titzrey Somerset going out to Madrid on a mission, having for
its object the putting an end to the civil war iu Spain, are cur-
eect, .and that he wilt forthwith set ont for that capital. . . _

It will be seen that the destructives, in the last agonies of
desperation, have resolved to knock their heads against the
wall, and have started Mr. Abercromby (!) against Sir Chas.
Manners Sutton. "Look upon this picture and then on that."
Mr. Abercromby, pour innocent; most cuquetishly refuses to
be made a tool. of, upon which -Lord John Russell drags the
poor man, d la Cincinnatus, from his plough, and, bv-playing
upon the honourable member's vanity, cajoles him to be the
cat's paw' upon the approaching occasion. If-Mr. Abercromby
is successful, we will engage to credit "honest Joseph's" next
two " tottles of the whole," to consider Daniel O'Connella
disinterested maw and to- believe that • Major Beauclerk is
realty sorry that he headed his late colleague, Mr. Briscoe, at
the late East Surrey election. We think no one in common
conscience would wish us to swallow more than this.'

DouGLAs LIGHTED BY GAs.:—We feel much satisfaction in
stating, that the tong-discussed plan for lighting this town with
gas is now in a fair way of being .carried into execution. This
application of one of the greatest discoveries of the present
iuventive age to the most useful purpose of illuminating our
public thoroughfares and shops must be highly gratifying to all
Who take pleasure in the improvement of, the island. The streets
Of this prosperous little 'metropolis win the❑ present .a pleasing
contrast, front a state .of almost primeval darkness to one of
refulgent light, rendering a passage through them by night a
Pleasure instead of peril. We sincerely wish success to the
spirited undertaking, being fully persuaded that it only requires
a commencement to• meet with general support, and to ensure
a fortunate termination.

Tux WEATNER.—January, in which the greatest degree of
t Old is usually felt in our northerly climate, has nearly passed
away with only one transient snow storm, awl more sunshine
than has been often witnessed in the mouth of April. During
the past week, in particular, the atmosphere, though generally
overcast, was so. calm and temperate that on Monday the black-
birds, and other early songsters, induced by the mildness of the
season, renewed then*. charming melody, giving a pleasing
anticipation of the approaching return of spring. During the
heavy fall of rain on. the 15th instant, the flood in Ballasalla
river rose to so unusual a height as to threaten serious conse-
quences to the dwellers in its vicinage, particularly to those in
south Abbey cottage and another cattage near the bridge: So
sudden and rapid was the fresh in the river, that the factory
dam-head which had withstood the current for the last 50 years,
was levelled to its foundation, and stones some tons weight
tumbled to a considerable distance from their berths. Mr. Jef-
ferson, the spirited occupier of the said factory premises, and
the 'neighbourhood in general, are greatly inconvenienced by
the disaster, as most part of the corn thrashing and liax clean-
ing of this place was performed there.

MR. ABERCROMBY, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
OF COMMONS.

The following is the correspondence on this subject
_to which
we refer in our leading article:—
" Woburn Abbey, fan. 27, 1835.
" My dear Abercromby,—l was very sorry to find from the
different communications which I have had with you that you
were so unwilling to comply with the desire of many members of
the House of Commons, that you should he proposed for the
chair at the meeting of the new parliament.
" After you had declined, however;-1 should- have been my-
self reluctant to press on you a proposition which 1 found per-
sonally unacceptable. But when I tell you that I have been
Urged from various quarters; and -in the strongest terms, to-
Place before vett the earnest wishes and general concurrence of
those with whom you have been connected in public life, that
you should allow yourself to be-put in nomination for the chair,
1 trust you will re-consider your decision. Above all, I think
you will be influenced by the argument I have to state, that
they view the present election- of a speaker as a question not
solely of individual .preference;.but of public principle; and
they are convinced that in order to try this 'question with the
utmost advantage, it is of greatiniportance teat you elsuuid not
decline this high honour, if the house be willing to confer it
Upon you.

" f remain, ever yours most faithfully, J. RUSSELL.
" The Right lion. J. Abereromby:."

" Fenton's Hotel, Jan. 29, 1835.
"My dear Lord John,—My earnest desire to decline the
honour of being proposed as a candidate for the chair, on the
rnretin4' of the new parliament, has been so often and so strongly
expressed to you and to others, that I was in hopes that it
Would have been acquiesced in.
" [however painful it would have been to me to maintain mY
own opinion in oposition to that of so many of my friends; I
hould hove adhered to it- if the approaching contest had in-
volved only a question of individual preference ; as I am now
aware that tile governing motive of those who wish me to alter
my decision is a desire to vindicate a public principle, which
they think it is. their duty, as members of the House of Com-
moms, to maintain, I feel that the indulgence of my own wishes
would subject me to the charge of obstinacy, or of selfishness;
and therefore, if the choice, fall on me, I shall be ready to per-
form the duties of the office to the best of my ability.
" I remain yours very truly and faithfully,
J. ABEHCROMBY.
" The Right Hon. Lord John Russell."

'REPRESENTATIVE BISHOPS.—T 6 Irish representative pre-
lates in the new parliament will be the Lord Archbishop of
Timm, and Bishops of Elphin, Droinnre, and Limerick. The
order in which the Irish bishops sit in parliament is regulated
by a rota which
.is completed at the end of every twelve ses-
sions, by which each archbishop 'sits one in four, and each
bishop one in six sessions.
ELsortoN ELOQUENCE.—the address of Carew O'Grady to
the county of Cork flogs all competition to pieces. He says,
" I told the electors cf Limerick that there was a penumbra of
ind.Pendeore in the county of Cork, which was not then able to
11'P freedom on its tongue." "Thiti is an epoch at which men
should be steady, when we see our winter fields, irrigated with
human blood and top-dressed with human brains." "If you re-
turn any, except au unconditional repealer, you send a walking
tnonument of repeal extinction, and carre'on it this inscription,
plea The lovers of fun will grieve to learn that Mr.
Carew O'Grady has no chance of a seat in parliament this time.
"Ric pcet;" in-other wards, he lies by for the present in Aglia-
rn arta Castle, a walking monument of neglected' merit and elo-
quence.
