GREAT BRITAIN.-The ships James Baine
and Lightning had arrived at Liverpool with
E1,300,OO0 sterling in specie. In connection
with these arrivals and the absence of further

upon the next adyices from India and China.

cradle increase in bullion and in unemployed

The British government has, at the request of
Cyrus w. Field of New York, ordered
steamer to be fitted out under efficient officers,
to examine thoroughly the coasts of Ireland
and Newfoundland, and to sound across the
Atlantic between these countries, to ascertain
the best place for laying and landing the sub.
marine telegraph cable. The British govern
menJ has further agreed to guarantee four per
cent interest per annum, oil the whole capital
required to manufacture and lay down the
cable between Newfoundland and Ireland.
Contracts for the whole extent of the Atlantic
cable were signed in London on the nineteenth
of November, one-half to be manufactured
by w. kuper, Glass, & Co., of London, the
other half by r. 5 Novel; & Co., at Liver
pool 1t is all to be completed and placed on

and the Sandwich Islands.
Paris, Friday, Nov. 2l.-Everything today
announced a rigorous reaction in financial
matters. The condition of the bank contin-
ues to improve.
SPAIN.-The reported arrangement between
the Spanish Bourbons has failed. The Queen
of SPAN was kept in the dark as to the real
project of the clerical party, which was her
own eventual aodcation, and the marriage of
her daughter to the eldest son of the Infanta
Don Juan.
A republican movement had taken place in
SPAN at Malaga. On the 18th of November
the garrison was attacked by persons pro.
claiming the republic. The troops resisted,
and order was soon re- established. Five of
tne insurgents were Killed. The garrison had
seven men wounded. Latest accounts report
the insuarection as having no political aim,
but as simply intended for smuggling pur-
poses 1t is understood that all the prisoners
taken have been executed. Further move
ments are expected, as the Incorporation OF
the militia into the regular army had led to
the desertion of vast numbers who will be
quite ready for such attempts.
There have been slight disturbances at Mad
rid, and numerous arrests have been made
among the lower classes.
PoRTUGAL.-The elections at Lisbon had
not been favorable to the government. The
majority has been obtained by the candidates
of the Regeneration.
NAPLEs.-The governor of Palermo has
ordered strict surveillance to be exercised
upon all French and English commercial YES
sells. 1t is probable that within day or two

in state of stagnation for a long time, will
be advanced stage one way OF the other.

of the 18th, state that NJ. de Bouteneiff had

rus.
