EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Opening have risen suddenly this morning ; the first price was 771 h, but not many bar, gains were done at that price. Several Brokers were Coly on the Market, bidding for Stock at high prices. nsols from 771,4 rose to 78. The Market is looking well, and will, it is presumed, improve, should the report prove correct that all differences are amicably adjusted between the Porte and the Emperor of It ussiA. —The Jews are looking on ; the purchases today have been principally for the hue sellers, who had anticipated a fall. Further buying by the Bears would alone produce a favourable re-action, as this party has for some days past sold large amounts of time Stock.—Current prices: Bank Stock 2135 1,4-3 per Cent.

Tna DIVIDENDs.—The Merchants and Bankers sign on Monday and Tuesday, and the Public will be paid on Wednesday next.  The accounts from Ireland are not calculated to increase the hopes which a two days' respite from crime had excited. On the contrary, they shew that the evil spirit, though checked, is still unsubdued ; and that something more than the terrors of a Special Commission will be necessary, before anything like permanent tranquillity can be looked for. But, wretched as the state of Ireland is, and deep as are the crimes of too large a portion of the peasantry, it would appear that they are not sufficiently so for some wanton or malicious persons, who give accounts of murders and outrage: that have not been committed. We wonder that any Irishman should wish to aggravate the crimes with which his country is already stained, but such has been the case in too many instances, and one of the most flagrant is the account received on Tuesday last, of the destruction of a whole family, of the name of WHITESTONE, at Charleville, by fire, which turns out to be a scandalous falsehood. It is true that a letter to the effect first stated was sent in the name of a respectable Magistrate to Mr. O'BRIEN, one of the Coroners of the county of Cork, requesting his presence on the scene of the alleged massacre, to hold the necessary Inquests ; but that on. Mr. o'l3RtaN's arrival at the spot, the letter turned out to be a forgery, and the tale a mischievous and malignant fabrication. •The first act of the Marquis WELLESLEY'S authority in Ireland, that of conferring the honour of Knighthood on the LORD MAYOR, who is known to have been an active member of the Orange Faction —a faction stigmatised by the Sovereign, and of which the Noble Marquis has been the avowed enemy, has excited considerable sensation in Dublin. Many of the- lower class of the Orangemen have considered it as expressive of something like partiality to illiberal principles ; on the other hand, several Catholics apprehend that it is a symptom of disregard to their feelings. • The Dublin Journal says, it is neither one nor the other, and that the offer of Knighthood is a matter of course on an occasion when the LORD MAYOR and Corporation, in a body, make part of a public entry. Knighthood, however, it would appear, was not honour enough, and Alderman JAMES hinted, that as the Sheriffs had been previously knighted, some higher distinction should (according to custom) be conferred on the Chief Magistrate, the Noble Marquis then promised to recommend him to a Baronetcy. If the Baronetcy to this Lord Mayor was a sort of favour which could not well be refused without offence to the Corporation, being a mere appendage to his place as Chief Magistrate, the LORD LIM:TENANT did what he could not help doing. It is not surmised by the Dublin papers that there existed any claim in the public-or private character of Alderman JAMES, which could of itself recommend him to the special grace —and.feareur of a VgiROY, who had prObably never heard of bins but as a limb of that confederacy from which the Noble Lord has often pledged his wishes that Ireland and her Government could be rescued.  American Papers hay. arrived to the 9th December, but they do not contain any debates in the Senate.  PROM 71111 COIIOI2IICIAL ADVILETIZZR ór
