LONDON LATEST NEWS.  City, Wednesday Evening, Half-past Seven o'clock.  It is generally, understood that our dignified administration is actually now in a course of supplication with the mendicant of llerrynane for permission to put off the appropriation clause for another session, and that the sturdy beggarman has not yet sent back his resolve upon the subject, but it is probable that he will accede to the prayer if an adequate "consideration" is given.  We hare been without any arrivals of importance to-day, and mails are still due from Ilawburgh, Mexico, and Lisbon. Our commercial readers must bear in mind that the Lisbon mails will in future he made up on Saturdays instead of Fridays, as heretofore, and that this arrangement will commence with the mail to be made up on Saturday next. Our. Newfoundland papers received this afternoon to the litly ult., state that Mr. G. A. Itenny, conimander of the Manchester, of Liverpool, had committed suicide by shooting himself with a pistol. The jury had returned a verdict of insanity. The winter had set in at Newfoundland with unusual severity, storm and tempest having prevailed throughout November. The sea had swept the coast more violently than had been remembered for tha previous forty years, and the tides had risen far beyond the usual landmark. The shipping belonging to the colony had suffered considerable damage, The Indian Lass, with themaster and part of the crew, had been lost. The Venus was also lost, but the crew were saved. Several vessels were mis, and much anxiety was feltfsoinrgt,haeinrdshafaedtlb..een so for some time  Prince Edward's Island papers have been received to the 2d of December. On the Ist of that month the governor of that colony, Sir William Young, died. We have Bermuda papers also to the 9th December, but their contents are entirely unimportant.  During the last day or two there has been much activity in; the consol market, the speech of Louis Philip announcing his acceptation of the mediation of the English government, with respect to the dispute with the United States, being regarded here as decisive of the prevention of hostilities. Money bas also been very easy, and yesterday, shortly before the close of business, great activity was displayed, consols advancing to 93h for the account. This morning, however, the market exhibited a somewhat heavy appearance; and, as the day advanced, a considerable decline took place, consols for account closing at 92?,. Exchequer bills and India bonds are, however, both better, a proof of the abundance of money. The pm. on the former closed at 18 to 20, and on the latter at 6.  Spanish bonds, which early in the day were done at 51a, fell to 50i ; and Portuguese 5 per cents. left off at 544. The republican bonds since Monday have advance considerably, ChiTian bonds having been at 47, and Colombian at 314. Both these have, however, receded, the former closing at 464, and the latter at 331. The northern bonds have been very buoyant, but they left off this afternoon somewhat flat. Russian are 1091, Dutch 5 per cents. 104 and Belgian Intelligence has been received at Lloyd's, a few days back, of the loss of the Asia, in the Hoogley river, and of her commander having perished. This additional evidence of the great advantage of substituting some other mode of communication with Calcutta, in lieu of this peribus passage, has caused increased interest here with regard to the Calcutta and Saugar rail-road and harbour company, now in course of formation; and some valuable official documents have been produced, giving undeniable evidence of the facility with which the project may be completed. It appears that some twenty years ago the East India company contemplated making 'a new harbour on Laccon's Channel, although the advantages of railroads were but partially known, ln accordance with this idea, surveys of that channel, and of Channel Creek; 'were inade-br their direction, the most experienced of the naval officers in their service were employed. Their reports were of a most satisfactory character; and although events having nothing to do with the practicability of the undertaking, prevented its being carried into effect, their surveys prove beyond all contradiction, that the Calcutta and Saugur company are fully borne out in the most sanguine expectations they can entertain. The interest excited, with respect to the project, is much increasing here.  Lotto ELnoN.—Lord Eldon, notwithstanding his advanced age, has not relinquished the sports of the field. During the present season his lordship has enriched the larders of many of his friends in the metropolis with ample presents of game.
