The Sun. — 1837-11-20 (London, England)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.  We have the arrival of three packet ships from New York this morning. The England and Garrick'-arrived at Liverp 00l ; the packet Philadelphia at Portsmouth—all :three of the same date, the Ist inst. They do not bring any news of importance. Affairs were upon much the same footing as in the previous account. The Exchange on London was 15f ; Stocks were flat ; United States Bank Shares closed at 1181. There was little change in the Money Market for the past week, but it is in an improving state, and there was a fair business done in Bills on Europe. The Montreal Papers to 28th. Oct. state that on the night of Thursday, and the morning of Friday, Lake Ontario was visited by one of the most violent gales of wind that has been remembered for many years past. No accounts have reached us of any lives lost, but the loss of property in the neighbourhood of Kingston has been very considerable. We extract the following from the Jamaica Papers to the 14th October :  " Letters from Gottingen," says the Courrier Francaise, " state that seven Professors in the University in that city refuse to take the oath of fidelity to the now King, and that should the University send a deputy to the States, it will be merely to protest. This courageous determination is likely to exercise considerable influence on the public feeling. The Universities of Germany are not only institutions for study, but are also political centres which give an impulse to the rest of the country. On the other side of the Rhine Professors are regarded, in some sort, as popular magistrates, commissioned to defend the rights of the people as well as the principles of reason." We have received the following of the 2d from Oran : " News has just arrived that Chef de Bataillon Menonville, of the 47th who was sent to Mascara, has committed suicide, after having killed his interpreter, M. Zacca. This act of unquestionable insanity took place in the evening of the 24th inst. M. de Menonville was remarkable for his mild and even temper; but the persons of his household lately observed in him a degree of abberration of mind, which increased on the death of the son of Abd-el-Kader, who was attended by a French physician. During nearly the whole.of the 24th he was in a state of great agony ; and, under some delusion, he kept M. Zacca, against whom he bad conceived some inexplicable prejudice, constantly in sight directing his pistols at his breast. At night he made the interpreter lay down by his side, resting his head on the same pillow. M. Zacca, overcome by fatigue, having with the rest of the establishment been kept without rest for six days, fell into a sound sleep. While in this state M. de Menonville took up both his pistols, placed the muzzle of one close to the right eye of M. Zacca, and that of the other in his own mouth. 'I Both went off at the same moment, and the next, on the attendants rushing in at the reports, they found two lifeless bodies. The news was sent to General Bugeaud, at Mostaganem, who immediately dispatched M. de Maussion, a chief officer of the staff, to Mascara, and who has nut yet returned. The body of M. de Menonville has been brought to than, and was buried on the 27th ult., with all the honours due to his rank. A contract has been made between the Spanish Minister of Finance and some Spanish and French merchants, who are to furnish a million of rations for the troops in Navarre, which are  " We are happy to state the dullness that was prevalent throughout the country is fast disappearing. A shock of an earthquake was felt at Barbaboes on the 22d ult., which has injured some buildings. The shock continued from ten to fifteen seconds. A slight shock was experienced at St. Vincent's, onTuesday, 29th ult., at six o'clock in the morning ; its duration was considerable : no injury appears to have been done by this convulsion of nature. Rumour states that his Excellency the General has sent home his resignation, and there are those who expect we will soon have another ruler. Whether it be that Sir Lionel Smith wishes to be relieved from the cares of office, or finds his situation so surrounded with difficulties as to be induced to desire to resign, we pretend not so say, because of ourselves we know nothing of the circumstances."  We extract the subjoined from the Singapore Papers received to July 2 :  " The trade of Penang for the year 1936 and 1837, according to an official record, exhibits an increase in value of the trade of that island, of about sixty-five-fold during the last official year to that of the preceding_ "
