CITY. HALF-PAST ONE.  The Express received this morning from Paris, does not bring any further information, in regard to the signing of Peace, than has been previously received. The delay of the Official Accounts has somewhat damped the Consol Market. Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 891 for the Account, have since receded to 8911 and 89/ sellers for November Account, at which price they remain steady at present, with little business transacting. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing except . in Portuguese Stock, which is not so good as yesterday. 'All other Foreign Securities are at nearly the same price as they left off.  Demerara papers to the 11 th of August, and Quebec papers to the 3d of September, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The following account from the Demerara paper of the 10th of August, is almost too horrid to relate : The trial of Alexander Ross, Joseph Conyers, and L. Minn, was finished at so late an hour on Friday, that we can only allude to the result ; and even now, we find it impossible to give any thing like a current account of it. Mr. Pislehaw, who is a Swede, and whose intellects do not seem to be of the strongest try nature, was invited to the house of Ross, on Sabbath, the 29th of May last, where, after being well plied with spirits by the parties, a handful of pepper was thrown in his eyes. When thus completely blind, and smarting with excruciating pain, they stripped him of his clothes, laid him across a chair, and commenced flagellation with a piece of whalebone, till his person was completely lacerated, and in one mass of raw flesh. They then, with a diabolical refinement of cruelty, rubbed the lacerated parts with Cayenne pepper, which was enough to madden the unfortunate victim ; and when this process was done, they applied large and powerful blisters, almost around his person, so that the unhappylman was for days that he could'neither sit nor lie down, and could obtain no rest but upon his knees. This brought on him a kind of stupor and aberration of mind, and his life was considered in great danger. Whilst these disgusting details were adduced in evidence, the conduct of the prisoners was anything but becoming ; and the draft of their defence was to establish an alibi But in this, although supported by the best Counsel at the Bar, they completely failed. We believe that the three prisoners, with their worthy witness, MARCALLUN, are grog-shop keepers. The Quebec papers of the 3d Sept. contain an account from Antegenish, of 11 th Aug. stating, that for some weeks put, fires have been breaking out in different parts of the woods, which has become alarming; and has done much injury in several places from little River to the Gut of Canso. The agricultural report of Quebec states, thet the markets have fallen, on the reports of a favourable year, and they will probably continue low. The price of labour will also fall ; but the price of grain will depend on the prices in England. Letters from the Brasil state that the late accounts from Buenos Ayres, through Monte Viedo, mention that a peace was concluded and the armies were disbanding. From Montreal of the 29th of August, we learn that George Simpson, Esq. Governor of the Hudson Bay Company's territories, arrived at Lachine. He left the mouth of the Colombian river, on the north-west coast of America on the 25th of March, and reached Red River Colony about the end of May. He reports that the crew of the William and Ann, which was wrecked at the entrance of the Columbian river, were treacherously murdered by the natives. They consisted of 16 Europeans and 10 Sandwich Islanders. Letters from Terceira state that two days after the at-: tack made by Don MIGUEL'S squadron, which was so gallantly and successfully resisted by the garrison, a;, Gravesend boat had arrived from England with L 20,000 in specie, for the use of the troops.—Devortport Tel. A communication from an Officer of the British Squadron, off Temple, in the Bosphorus, dated August 28, in The Hampshire Telegraph, states that authentic intelligence had been received there of the fall of Shumla.— Accounts in the German papers, received yesterday by the Flanders Mail, speak also of the fall of Shumla. Letters from St. Michael's of the 9th ult. state that there is no blockading squadron off Terceira. The Don John man-of-war had, however, sailed from St. Michael's for that island.
