FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The money market owing to a variety of
causes, has become seriously depressed since our
last advices per Cambria. The pressure con-
tinues to affect all branches of trade with unre-
Taxed severity, forcing prices downwards, and
necessarily limiting operations to the smallest
possible scale; the primary of this state of
things are the advanced rates of discount re-
CURED by the Banks of the Empire, and
succession of disastrous failures in the West
India and American trade Up to last night the
actual bankruptcies and stoppages were little short
OF E2, 10000, and it is apprehended that many
of these will fall heavily upon American houses.
Yesterday, in Londen, the public securities had
somewhat recovered from the depression OF the
preceding day, and fluctuated merely from the
turn of the market
Consols for account were e6S to 81, and for
money s6l to ss} Three per Cents reduced 81
to s7&; Three and Quarter per Cents SSl to Ssz
a SO Exchequer Bills, % discount to Is pre-
MUM. Speculation in favorite stocks is passive
Mexican bonds are quoted at lsA. Among manu-
facturers business wears most gloomy aspect,
nor will there be any hope Of improvement until
the monetary restriction shall have been eased.
This is natural result of state of things which
renders all bills of longer dates than three
months unavailable, and which not only para
Lies our colonial trade, but seriously affects our
commercial transactions with America.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
A rumor was in general circulation yesterday,
that Louis Philippe had been assassinated-the
London papers of this morning bring no con-
frmation of it.
The elections are nearly at an end, and show
an increase in favor of liberal ministers.
The Queen has arrived in Scotland4her tour
will be completed in about three weeks.
Lieut.. Monroe, late of the I'd regiment of Life
Guards, was yesterday found guilty of the muir
der of Col. Fawoett, whom he slew in duel
about four years ago. TIL verdict of the jury
prise.
The affairs of Spain ST. continue in very
depressed STATE. The Queen p.a d the King
under complete surveillance, and has done every
thing to destroy his influence, short Of imposing
personal restraint npon him.
An attempt was la.ely made to destroy Gen.
Serrano, the reputed paramour of the Queen, by
sending "petard" to him through the Post
Office.
The political aspect of France is threatening
enough-a fierce contest is raging between the
Government and the opposition press, the latter
charges the ministers with corruption and the
failure of the financial administration. The
French funds have largely participated in the
embarrassments, caused by the raising OF the
rates Of discounts in England.
Portugal is quiet, and the Spanish forces have
been Withdrawn from Oporto.
In Switzerland the federal diet has required
the dissolution of the Catholic Sonderabound,
as being hostile to the general welfare.
The accounts from Italy are various; the pro-
gress Of liberal opinions, particularly in the Pa
pal States, is viewed with great alarm, by both
France and Austria
In Ireland the elections have been somewhat
more stormy than in this country,and the returns
will stand very much as they did in the last Par
lament. Mr.. O'Connell's funeral was celebrated
with great pomp. The event has left no after
excitement of any consequence.
General Armstrong goes out by the Caledonia
with dispatches
The Hottinguer arrived at Cork on the 10th.
The Caledonia takes EDO, 900 in specie.
