FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. AWRIVAL OF THE Steamship Britannia. Highly Important Intelligence.’, pu ANY End of the War in China—Victories in In- dia—Overthrow of Ghuzne— Lvacuation of Affghanistan—Recapture of Cabool—Ef- fect of the News on the Markets and Poll- tics—Kevolution in Spain—Terrible Com- motion all over the World, dic. &c, The steamship Britannia arrived at Boston Wednes- day afternoon at about three o’clock, after a rather boisterous passage. The news is highly important. It seems that the appearance of the British off Nankin had the effect of forcing the Emperor into an immediate treaty of peace. y The English have met with furthesDrilliant suc- cesses in India. The China news appeared to have given a fresh start to trade in the manufacturing districts. In the Liverpool Cotton Market prices have ad- vanced jc per Ib. The Great Western arrived at Liverpool on the 30th ult. and the Caledonia on the 29h. Her Majesty, the Queen, has returned from Wa}- mar Castle to Windsor. Lady Sale and the rest of the prisoners at Cabool, have all been released. A report of the demise of Princje Metternich prevailed on the Paris Bourse and induced some wavering in the funds. Private letters re- peat, however, that the only indisp osition suffered by that eminent statesmon was one of a very trifling nature, and froma merely jocal cause. ‘We do not observe any particular movement in the state of trade, or in the general prospects of the country. On the contrary, everything bears marks of gloom and despondency. Add to this the tact that the winter season appeared to be setting 1n all overEurope with anugual rigor, and we have causes for present and prospective sufferimg which are ap- palling enough. Three of the members of the (Sonsulting Junta, Thomas Coma, Juan Guell, and another, had ar- rived at Pernignan. They left Barcelona on the 18th, and were 3 days making the:ir way through the mountains on foot to the French frontier. The wife of the British consul at Smyrna, havine been insulted by a young Turk, an appeal wasmade to the authorities, and the affair caused a good deal of feeling between the Turks and Franks. The number of bankrupts declaired at Paris dur- ing the month of November, was greater than for any previous month during the last two years. The troubles in Greeve continued at the last dates, and the people appeared to be getting more and more dissatisfied with the rule of King Otho. In the way of English domestic news we have to communicate nothing ot interest—a good deal of public attention is at present. directed to the measures likely to be discussed in Parliament during the next session, and among other things it is reported on first rate authority, that the sliding scale will be abandoned, and a moderate fixed duty imposed on Foreign wheat—about 83. isthe supposed figure. Should this be realized, an immediate field will opened fer American bread stuffa, the return for which, in spite of the present prohibitive Tarif}, must be in British manufactures. ALondon paper says, that the directors of the Great Western Steamship Company have presented a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury for as- sistance. Anorner IntrupER on Royanty-—A correspon- dent of the Morning Herald, states that on Sunday mornivg a man, in the garb of asailor,and who ap- peared to be laboring under insanity, was taken into custody by Dr. Potts, at the entrance of Walmer Castle. On being questioned, he declared that he was Napoleon II., and also a Bourbon, and express- ed an inclination to get into the Castle. Subse- quently the man, whose name wns Nichols, was suf- fered to goaway, it not appearing to the authorities that he had committed any act to justify his deten- tion. It.is now understood that the pending claims of British merchants for aggression by the French at be amge respecting which negotiations have been ol going on for eight years, are at last brought to a sa- The two governments have tisfactory conclusion, 2 two agreed to leave all matters in dispute relating to the gum trade of Portendic to the arbitration of the King of Prussia; and aconvention to that effect is believed to have been signed by Lord Cowley and M. Guizot. Among the vessels destroyed by the late terrific storm at Funchal, was the Creole, whose name be- came s0 notorious in our recent discussions with America. The report that Prince Albert will succeed the Duke of Wellington as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, gains credence. Several cases of tobacco smuggling hi late]: been detected on the Clyde, a sr the tortor arvane! ly punished. Itis stated from Hamburg that the new tariff of the German Customs Union has created a perfect panic among the merchants of that city who trade 1n British manufactured goods.

Foreign Theatricals, A new ballet is in preparation at Covent Garden, to be called ‘‘ Pocahontas,” taken from a romantic tale of the Red Men of North America. The sub- ject was suggested, if not altogether ndapted for stage representation, by Mrs. Butler. We believe that the tragedy upon which it was reported Mrs. Butler was engaged, will turn out to be this identi- cal ballet. Mr. and Mrs. Butler intend returning im- mediately to this country. Congreve’s comedy, ‘‘ Love for Love,” was re- vived at Drury Lane Theatre, with a strong cast of characters. As soon as Madame Vestris has concluded her engagement at the Haymarket, she intends te open the English Opera House, and to introduce there the class of performances which she brought forward with so much success at the Olympic. The success which has attended the revival of Dryden’s * King Arthur,” at Drury Lane Theatre, bids fair to excel in attraction any production of a mmilar nature ; it exceeds them all in the nightly expenses attacked to the representation. The total expense incurred in this production is estimated at £2,500, which, with the extra nightly charge of £3186. in the mechanical department, will form @ weekly expenditure never before in- curred in any theatre, La Signora Clara Novello signed a contract to sing daring the carnival at Genoa, and engaged her- self afterwards with the impressario, Sanquinetti, to play during the autumnal season at Alexandria. A tew days previously, while yet ina state of uncer- tainty, she wrote the Marquis Lomellini, then in the Roman States, to request him to procure her an engagement. This he succeeded in eflecting, be- yond her expectations, for a term of two years, in virtue of which treaty she is now singingin Ro- magna, tothe total disregard of her preceding con- tracts. Malle. Elesler has accepted an engagement for two months at Paris. Taglioni is performing with immense applause at Bologna; the theatre is constantly crowded, and her appearance on the stage at the close of al- most every scene enthusiastically called for, after the fashion of the country, Madame Albertazzi, whose absence is deplored at the Italian Opera at Paris, has been engaged for the carnival, at Trieste, where she is to sing alternate nights with Madame Frezzolini. Musica. anp Dramatic Curr-cnar.—Covent-gar- den theatre, on being re-opened on Tuesday evening, was crowded to excess. A two-act piece, trom the pen of the author of the “Man and the Tiger,” was produced at the Hay- market Theatre on Tuesday evening, the title was “tA Cure for Love.” Celeste and Rice have returned to this country— the fermer in the Caledonia steamship—the latter in the Great Western. ‘They lauded in Liverpool, and proceeded to Londonon T Meine An amasing trifle, called “You Know What,” said to be from the penof Mr. Beazley, was produced at the Adelphi Theatre on Monday night. . The Morning Chronicle says that ‘‘Mrs, Fitzwil- liam has relinquished her engagement at the Hay- market Lheatre, in consequence of the untavorable Position in which she tound her pieces placed in the performances of the evening, by order ot one who professes to have escaped from undue tyranny at another establishment.” Great improvements in the Manchester Theatre Royal are in progress. When the decorations and alterations of the interiorehall have been completed, a first rate company is to be engaged, the Shakes- peariap drama is to be the most prominent, and eve- ty thing will be got up in excellent style, both in the bistriouic and artistic department. % Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean made their first ap- pearance on Saturday night in the tragedy of the *‘G mester,” at the Theatre Royal, Abbey street, Dublin, upoa which occasion the Rouse was crowd: ed inevery part—an unusual circumstance in these days. They were greeted with peals ot the most rapturous applause. . Kean was looking deli- cate ; and, indeed, notwithstanding the graceful beauty of her performance, it was evident that she was laboring under indispoaition. London and Paris Fashions for December, [From the Beau Monde, or Monthly Jourval of Fashion.) The fly’s wing velvet is described as having obtained the highest success for redingotes, and even evening dresses. A dress of this Jatter description of tabric was ornament- edwich English point lace, on the sleeves, corsage, and down the front, and produced a very beautiful effect. A brocade with silver ground, flowered, worked besides with rvse-coloured silk, was made in the tunic fashion, with @ piping extending down the borders. A splendid toilette was composed of blue satin, made in the form of a redingete, elegantly embroidered and orna- mented with borders of Alencon lace; the embroidery fol- lowed the direction of the lace in the various windings, giving a very admirable finish to the dress, The moire and ambre among the Pekins have gained Great vogue tor geueral use, their applicability to various occasions, whether morning or evening dress, has obtain- by this preference. by ‘aps, Bonnets, $c.—Among the very elegant introduc. tions which have been admitted rh th of the fashionable circles, may be especially distinguished, the Coronne Petrarch which, arranged tastefully on the head, slightly on one side, with the laurel rose as an embellish. ment, and the flowing blonde barbes, in addition, has a most charming effect. The coitlure Amie d’Autriche composed of velvet, min- gled with gauze of gold tissue and with gold acorns pen- dunt to terininute it, has a very beautiful appeerance. Another coiflure has been signalised as among the most recherche of the season, the Blanche de Castille; the crowa is iormed of a resille of is and gol, the rolls of velvet intertaixed with chefs of pesris and gold, termina. ted by fringes in the same style, which fallon each side of the neck. The Bonnet donairiere is composed of a double crown of rose buds separated by beuilloones of blond, which form little pufls above theears, A very elegant’ appear ance this latter coiffure exhibits, and peculiarly appropri- ated for the young, and persons possessing rather full features. ‘The toque Marie Antoinette hus obtained great vogue. There is adegree of buoyancy in its appeaiance, which advantageously contrasts with many of those which are equally tashionable—such, for instance, as the Couronne Petrarch. ‘The Corfure Bohemienne in velvet, with a pendant gold acorn, is also a most tasteful novelty. The little Genivieve cape, with its lightly sprinkled and tastefully arranged mixture of flowers and lice, is a romarkably simple and pretty coiffure. Cloaks, $c.—Among the clegant and fashionable addi- tions to our costume, that for the promenade in particular, may be mentioned the Bournouss-scarf. For embcllish- ment this v= becoming article of dress may have passe- menterie, embroidery, or lace. The shape as.umes the form of the person, and ties gracefully into the waist, the folds so disposed as to fall gracefully into large sleeves, which may or may not be used at pleasure. ‘The Armenian cloak has had_no inconsiderable degree of success ; when composed of velvet, trimmed with fur or cloth, with embroidery en soutaches, it is equally be- coming. A most beautiful introduction is that ofthe velvet red- ingotes, ornamented in front, around the pelerine and sleeves, by very elegant embroideries in rounded silk, forming perfect reliet. Varielies —A great impulse has been given to the wearing irs, since the Changes that have taken place in the weather.

This treaty was signed at Nankin on the 29h of August by her Majesty’s Hekipedeatiany. Sir Henry Pottinger, on the one part, and three Chinese high Commissioners on the other; according to which a lasting peace is established between the two empires. We have just received, by the extraordinary Ex- press from Paris, the following important intelli- gence :— Maura, Nov. 26. A special steamer has come to Snex with news that the f:mperor of Ohina has given adhesion to the t , but refuses to sign till Her Majesty’s is rec . The refusal is based on the exigency of etiquette observed in China. How- ever, the half of the first instalment agreed to by Treaty hasbeen paid, and confided to the frigate Blonde, which wasto sail immediately for England. A steamer has come direct from Nankin to Suez to bring thisnews. It had on board Mr. Malcolm, Secretary of the Englich Legation. The English fleet will winter at Chusan, where vast works are under- taking to make the island healthy. Our last accountetrom China informed us that the British fleet was proceeding up the Yang-tze-Keang river towards Nankin. On the @th ot July the squadron left Woosmng, and on the 14th destroyed some batteries which commend the river. On the 20th, the vessels anchored off Keang-foo, the key on this side of the grand canal, and on the foliowing morning the troops disembarked, and proceeded to attack the city, and a neighboring camp of the enemy. The fatter was carried at once, the Chi nese flying in all directions; but the city, whic! was strongly fortified, was defended with devoted gallantry: one-third of the garrison of three thou- «and of Tartar soldiers laying down their lives in the hopele: ruggle. Among the killed were forty nd the general, when all waslost, re © horse, seated himself in calm and brave despair, and making the servants set the build- ingon fire, was oebeaned, to ashes. On the part of the British there were killed four officers and 11 wounded, and 134 men were killed and wounded. The fleet then proceeded towards Nankin, took 4 its position there on the 6th of August, and immedi- ately prepared for an asvault on the city. | A strong force was landed, and operations were about to commence. when suddenly the Chinese so- ‘icited a trace, intimating the approoch of a delega- tion from the Emperor. Schnee Commissioners, ove of whom was ol the royal house; arrived on the 15th page the 20h of August a treaty was signed on board H. M.S, Cornwallis, by them and Sir Henry Pottinger. Nanxina, Aug. 24, 1842. To W. Matnuson, Esq., Guascow— During the last few months | have been constantly moving bout, and therefore unable to promote the mental improvement of China. At the same time we have traversed one of the most magnificent rivers of the world, the Yang-t=ze, as faras Nanking, and thus found out a high road to Asia, of far higner importance thau all the discoveries on the Niger.— To your Assocratien this new progress of our arms must be highly interesting, as itis fraaght with the highest benefit to commerce and civilization, and indeed the truest and best interests of the human race, and China especially. Arrived at Nanking, two commissioners, Elipoo and Keying, the former a very straightforward and neble-minded man, both Tartars, met our plenipo- fentiary, and acceded to ail demands of the British government without gainsaying:—21,000,000. dol- hars—three for Hong merchants’ debts, six for opium ~-the remainder tor war expenses, ure to be paid ; six before we leave Nanking ; Hong Kong to be ceded perpetually ; Chusan and Kolang-su_to be oc- cupied until ail stipulations are tulfilled ; free trade to Shanghae, Ningpo, Fuhchoo, and Amoy, with a regular tariff, and consuls reaiding at each of those places. This is, indeed, one of the best treaties that ever could have been made ; and though of a Pemerepticel turn of mind, by habitual intercourse with the Celestials, still I hope that the Emperor will ratify the whole. , Please to communicate this news to the associa- tion ; thoughyou may be informed of these circum- stances from other sources, still your humble corres- pomeest had to do something in the matter personal- le in the meanwhile, however, be persuaded that do not think we can establish a national and per- manent intercourse with China without influencing the minds of the peoyle by just and proper means, and such publications as will serve this purpose.— Aad whilst | most cordially, constantly, and above all other considerations, advocate the introduction of the Gosvel, as the laying of the foundation for the temporal and eternal welfare of the Chinese, every other laudable enterprise for enlightening their minds upon any other subjects, which may tend to remove obstacles, will be eagerly pursued by myself. Since Iam to be placed in one of the most important of the new emporiums, I hope often to hear from you, and shall not fail to give a true account of the appropriation of your money ; and inthe meanwhile remain, dear sir, yours sincerely, G. Gurztarr, Chinese Interpreter.

The ports of Canton, Amoy, Foo.chow-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghai, to be thrown open to British merchants, consul:r officers to be appomted to reside at them, and re- eer and just tariffs of import and export (as well as in- and transit) duties ‘o be established and published. 4. The island of Hong-Kong to be ceded in perpetuity to her Britannic Maj-sty, her beirs and successors. 5. Allsubjects of her Britannic Majesty (whether na- tives of Europe or India,) who may be confined in any part of the Chinese empire to be unconditionally released 6. An act of {ull and entire amnesty to be published by the Emperor under his imperial sign manual ond seal to all Chinese subjects, on account of their having hi vices or intercourse with, or resided under the British go- vernment, or its officers. 7.

On the Emperors assent being received to this treaty, and the payment of the first 6,000,000 dollars, her Britaunic Meyesty’s forces to retire from Nankin and the Grand Canal, the military posts at Chinghae to be also withdrawi ut the islands of Chusan and Kulangsoo are to be held until the money payments and the arrange- ments for opening the ports 'e completed. Jn promulgating this highty ‘atlsfactory mtelligence, her Majesty's plenipotentiary, &e., purposely refrains from avy detailed expression of his own sentiments as to the surpassing skill, energy. d n, and valour which have distinguished the vari ‘ades, from the highest to the lowest of all arms of her Majesty’s combined forces, during the contest that has led to those momentous results. The claims which have beenthus established, will be doubtless ackaowledged by the high est authorities, Inthe meantime, Her Majesty's plenipo tentiary congratulates her Majesty’s subjects in China oo the océasion of a peace, which he trusts and believes will 1m due time, be equally beneficia! to the subjects of both England and China.—God save the Queen.

Akhbar Khanis a fugitive; his acherents have been routed, and the British flag waves again over the Bala Hissar, or citadel of the capital of Afighan istan. ‘The following particulars of this series of brilliant succes-es of the British arms are communi- ca ed in the despatches which have reached this country. . The proceedings of General Nott, of which we had but a meagre account by the mail of the Ist of October, appear to have been highly successful Shumsooden, the Afizhan Governor of Ghuznee, having attempted to annoy the Briush force on its march, was repulsed on the 23d of August, and to- tally routed on the 30th. ‘The loss of the British amounted to thirty-six killed and six'y-eight wound- ed, Among the former were Captains Bury and and kK eeves, of the 3d Bombay Cavalrv. On thy 5ih of Sept. Ghuzne waa invested, and preparations were made to attack it on the following day, but during the night the enemy evacuated it. General Nott immediately entered it, and having planted the British flag in the fortress, made his arrangements and within four or five days the fortifications were destroyed, both of the city and of the citadel. A number of the 27th Bengal N. I. who had been pri- sonera since March last, were released. General Pullock, who had on the 3d ot Septem- ber reached Gundamuck, twenty-six miles to the westward of Jellalabad, left that place on the 7tn, and reached Soorkab, a distance of nearly ten miles. On the 13th, on approaching the Mazeen P, about 16,000 Affghans attempted to oppose theBritish from a position of great strength. That position was soon turned, and they were forced to retire, ain they sought to make resistance from another height,but they were equally unsuccessful. Their loss was consi le ; twelve Ghizie chiefs are said to have fallen, two guns, three standards, and a large jwantity of ammunition and stores were taken by the British. ” a The loss of the latter was thirty-two killed and 130 wouuded. Among the former was Hyder Alt, the commander of the Jezailchees among the latter Captain Lushington and Gells, and Lieuten- an’s Norton and Montgomerv. On the 1th, Gen. Pollock advanced to Boodkhah; on the 15th, he encamped on the race ground of Cabool, and on the td the British colors were planted in the Bola sear. The Deihi Gazette, of Oct. 3, states that Mrs. Tre- vor, with eight children, Captain and Mrs. Ander. son, with three children, and Captain ‘l'reass and Dr. Campbell, had come into the British camp; that Cabool wes quiet and supplies plentiful; that General Pollock had expectations to recover the remainder of the.

Since our arrival here we have not been able to obtain any certain infor mation of Mehommed Akhbar. It appears, howev- er,that Ameen Oollah has separated trom him. Neither of them have ventured to return in the di- tection ot Cabool. The following prisoners have “come into the camp:—Mrs. Trevor, with eight chil- dren; Captain and Mrs. Anderson, with three chil- dren; Captain Troop and Dr. Campbell. Unless some very unforeseen circumstances arise, I expect to obtain possession of the remainder of the prison- ers in the course of eight or ten days, with the ex- ception of Captain Bygrave, who, I regret to find, has been taken by Mahommed Akbbar, and was with him during the ac'ion of the 13th inst. have, &e., Georce Pottocn, Major-General commanding in Affghanistan. Spain, i 2 There have recently been some serious insurrec- tionary movements in Barcelona, and the latest ac- counts inform us that the disturbances in the provin- cial city had assumed a very serious complexion ; though it does not appear to be true that the insur- rection has spread beyand the walls. During the principal affray, the people, and even the women, threw out of windows and from house-tops, on the troops, tiles, bricks, furniture, and boiling water. Zarbano had a horse killed under him by a chest of drawers, which fell upon it. Zurbano was with the troops when they retreated to the citadel; but on the night of the 17th they were allowed to evacuate it, and to withdraw to Montjuic, and hostilities were suspended. Van Halen was stationed at San Felin, two hours march from Barcelona. The junta issued a proclamation announcing that they were about to deliberate on the condition of the work-people; and on the 19th they published what the French tele- graph calls the following “ programme :”— “1.—Down with Haperisro and his government. “2. —Constitutional Cortes. “3. —In case of a Regency, but one Regent. _“ 4.—In case of a marriage of Isabella II., a Spa- niard. “5. —Justice and protection for national indus- try.” It is added, that a ‘ Consultative Junta” was forming, chosen without distinction of party, from the most respectable citizens. On the 20th, General Bodil announced to the Cortes the events in Barce- lona up to the 16th, and stated that Espartero meant to leave Madrid on the next day for Catalonia, with his escort and three battalions, which he did. The Congress immediately voted an address to the Ke gent, promising him its support against the revolu- uonists. Madrid itself was tranquil Subsequent accounts state that the Cortes had been prorozued by Espartero during his absence in the provinces. An insurrection had broken out in Barcelona, under Durando, but it a ih to have been suppressed. At least it oul seem so from the fol- lowing telegraphic despatch : Barcetona, Nov. 28 —Durando has resigned the command of the troops, and taken refuge on board the Meleagre. Seven battalions of the militia have deposed the Junta for not having acted with vigor The third repubtican battalion dared not to detend it. Carsy the President has been retained. Baxcatona, Nov. 29.—The Captain General no longer menaces Barcelona with a bombardment. Salutes of artillery from Montjuich announce the arrival of the Regent at head quarters. The new Junta is composed of the Bishop and wealthiest inhabitants, proprietors and manufactur ers. It is supported by the majority of the National juard. Several members of the ex-Junta have taken refuge on board ehip. Barcgtona, Nov. 30.—Barcelona was about to capitulate. ‘The Junta has ordered the three corps to lay down{their arms at the Atiarazana. 3 Levers from the Catalonian frontier state that Fi- ueiras, so tar from having declared in favor of the unta of Barcelona, was organizing a force, on the Terradas. This band, which it appears had never exceeded 50 armed men,stoyp*d the stage coach from Barcelona to Jonquieres, on the 25th, within three quarters of a league from this last town, and seized the correspondence and journals with which it was charged, Gerona, and indeed all the other towns, which were described as having joined the movement, had returned to their allegiance on the 24th. ‘The Capt. General eccupied on the 24th San Felin, Sarria, Gra- cia, and even Sans, where the revolters had statiou- ed _an advanced post after their victory. ‘The latest accounts from Madrid relative to the civil affairs of Spain, are of a rather contradictory character. It isevident enough that the Spanish government, in carrving out its favorite measures, meets with new difficulties at every step. The old story that M. Capaz would be entrusted with the formation cf a new ministry, is revived, and we presume it is just about as true asit ever was. ‘The banditti who lately infested the provinces of Ciudad Real and Toledo are said to have been en- tirely suppressed ; but in Catalonia there are still many specimens of the old guerilla spirit. El Corr nsal states that a sanguinary contest had taken place near Bonillo between some custom house officers and a band of robbers, in which the latter appear to have been successful, The mines of Almaden have attained the depth of 800 feet, with no apparent diminution of the qua- lity or breadth of the rich vein of ore The late storm in the south of Spain was much more severe than at first represented The lvss ot property at Seville aloue, is estimated at $50,000. The Marseilles Semaphore of the 26th ult. announ- ces that two of the steamers which left Toulon for Barcelona, (the Etna and Cerbere) had been com- pelled by stress of weather toseck refuge in that port on the 26th. The others proceeded on their jour- ney. The Gassendi steamer, which had been des- patched in all haste to Barcelona on the receipt of the first accounts from that city, had already landed upwards of 400emigrants at Port Vendres. Barcetona, Nov. 30—The .English ship of war, Formidable, of 90 gung, has been wrecked yester- day, near the mouth of the Llebregat. The Geyser was sent this morning to take it off the sand bank, on which it was imbedded. Its success is uncer: tain, but all the crew and a quantity of the material will certainly be saved othing changed since yesterday in the state of Barcelona. Portugal. The intelligence from Lisbon is satisfactory. The ministers have eucceeded in securing the return of most of their candidates in the recent elections for deputies, which, it is supposed, will ogre riee 6 strengthen their power. Public credit, it is said, was improving, and the new issue of Exchequer Bills was taken up by capitalists. No further ap- roach towards a settlement of the treaty with Eng- jand has, as yet, taken place. Latest accounts from Lisbon represent the affairs of Portugal as still in a distracted state—the go- vernment bankrupt, and trade very much depressed. Much uneasiness continued to exist at the palace, in consequence of secret information of an inten- tion to rob it of the crown jewels; and the guards around it had been doubled in consequence. An anonymous libel, supposed to have been put forth by a foreigner very high in the confidence of the king, had also caused a good deal of uneasiness. The a ins of the judge at Middoes had all ef- fected their escape—with the connivance as was supposed, of persons high in authority. ‘here are not Jess than fifty persons confined at Coimbra for alleged offences against the ™m- ment. Some of them have been in jail over four years, without being able to get a trial. Russia, 6 _ There are symptoms of discontent in Russia, but itis difficult to judge how much they amount to. It appears that several officers belonging to the first corps of the army quartered at Moscow, and to the division of Orenburgh, have been arrested, charged with a conspiracy to overturn the existing govern: ment. The conspiracy is suid to have had extensive aaa among the different corps of the sol- ery. The Russian army along the line of the Pruthand ssower Danube had been greatly increased. Algiers, The French appear to be pushing their operations against Abdel Kadir with a good deal of euechy, bat with what prospects of ultimate success we hte unable to say. The Duke d’Amaule was preparing to attack the small town of Tunez, sitaated on the coast be'ween Cherchef and Mostagamen, which it was believed, would be vigorously defended by the inhabitants, aided by the neighboring tribes. Syria. The troubles of Syria appear to be as far from a settiementas ever. The inhabitants of Bechare had revolted, and defeated 500 Turkish troops who were entering the mountains from thatside. Symp- toms of revolt had alsa manifested thems+lves trom other points. A caravan proceeding from Damascus to Beyrout, under an escor! of Albanian soldiers, had been stopped and plundered by the Druses. There wasa report, at the last accounts from man had been pub- liciy hanged at Sidon, in consequence of the exas- peratior of the Turks against the Christians. The Emir of Gaza, and several Sheiks, had refu- sedto submit to the Turkish authority, and were wandering through the mountains, committing” all kinds of robveries and other excesses, Markets. Loxpox Moxey Manxer, Dec. 3.--Consols have been dons for the opening ex-dividend at 94, which is of course equiqalent to 9] with the dividend. Exchequer Bills have at the same time improved to 60 $2. The transactions have rather exceeded theie customary amount at the last day of the week, and the Bulls are calculating with conf- dence on the price of Consols reaching 96 inclusive of the dividend before the opening. Mexican Bon Is have been done at 30} and J. The dis- cussion respecting the different phrases of the surrepti- tious iseue ix still carried on, but, in fact, sound argument, and the opinion of all men who have no obliquity of mo- ral perception, are all on one side; we let the question rest there for the present. Lonpox Monny Manet, Thursday Evening.—The fel- lowing notice on closing the books fer transfers previous to the pay ment of dividends, was posted at the bank :— “Bank or Exauann, Deo. 1, 1842 “The Governor and Company of the Bank of England are ready, until further notice, to receive applications for loans on the deposit of approved bills of exohenge, not ing more than six months to ran, exchequer bills, aud East lndia bonds ; such loans to be repaid on or before the 17th of January, 1843, with interest at the: rate of 34 per cent per annuin, and to be for sums of not less than £2000 each.’ F ‘This being the day when consols shut for the dividends, a considerable amount of transactions took place, and the market altogether was well supported. For money con- sols were 94} to $, and for the opening on the 17ch proxi- mo, 9 to j. The new Three-and-a-Halt per cents also shut to-morrow for the dividends. Bank stock was 171} to 34. India stock also was shut to-day. Exchequer bills declined to 49s to 60s premium. Loxvox Trapr Reront. Dec. 2.—Tea—The market is du!l, but no alteration in prices can be quoted. Sales are advertised for the 21st instant, which will for the while spend business by private contract Tallow—The market as before with a steady business. Sugar—Theb s done in the raw market is 390 bhds including auction at former prices. 3,000 bag» Bengal offered, we ) sold ; the good and fine white brought steady prices, but the low and middling went rather easier. Coifee—This market remains without alteration, in an exceedingly dullstate. ‘The sales consisted of 600 bags of Ceylon (600 of which were trisge,) which brought 63s to 678 for very good and fine ordinary, and 24s for triage; 100 packages of Mocha at 76s to 778; and 1,500 bags of Padang partly sold at 97s 6d.

Livenvoos Cor10n Manxer.—Nov.25—Cotton was in ve- ry limited demand, and a downward tendency in the prices ol all descriptions was exhibited until Tuesday when the re- ceipt of the India and China news communicated en imme- diate impulse to the market, which has since continued, a large business baving been daily done at gradually impro- ving prices.

Notwithstanding the small nature of our supplies cok lectively, the wheat trade has remained without much an- imation, oar millers having purchased verv sparingly ; several parcels of duty paid foreign, however, were takes for investment, induced by low prices, which form the business worth naming between Tuesday last end Having few town or country millers at our corn ex: change to-day, and no impulse /rom other marketa, all de- scriptions o! foreign wheat, inthe absence of further spe- culation, were in limited request, but holders generally re- cept lower terms, our last quotations ined, lish and Irish new whests, though in mo- ied, En terate dem ere slightly depressed in value.

This is, ina great measure, the large sock of English cheese, whic! eda decline of 6: to 88 per cwt. on last year’s prices at same period. Within these few days things seem to be taking a better turn, all feeling that the depression is at the lowest. On this ground a purchase of 20 tons first uality American cheese, to ive, bas been but the price has not transpired. We look to an increased consumption of cheese in the manufacturing distriets.now that there is every prospect of a revival of trade in these quarters, Beef—Some attempts have been made to force a, deal of old beef off at public sales, but without success. Our qnotations are, therefore, almost nominal ; but we feel convinced that new sweet beef, put up to correspond with the Irish (in bbls. of 200 Ibs. and in fem 4 lbs. each) wonild fetch nearly the same priceas Irish. Pork—Tho flatness in this article continues; but a sup- ply of new and well cured (packed in the sume way as beef,) would revive demand. It has become a favorite meat with the lower classes, and we are of opinion that it only requires attention in’ the curing and packing to ive demand both for home use and ship- i—The stock of old is nearly exhausted, andno ave yet come forward. The transactisns have con- sequeutly bean small, but prime will still bring our quo- tations. Lard—We have had some arrivals of this article which have been freely taken, but in the depression on prices it has somewhat participated, and our quotations may therefore be looked upon as extreme prices. This ar- ticle must always be in kegs or half bbls, and not in bled- ders. Butter—No American on hand—prices neminal ; but butter grease would command our quotations. Stars oy Trave ix tie Maruractunine Disrarets.— Mancuester, Dec. 3.—The further rise in which took place on Tuesday has, on the whole, been sustained up to thetime of writing; but there has been a dullness in the market to.day which indicates that the manufacturers are more anxious to sell, and if Tuesday’s rates have been obtained to-day, it has been with some difficulty,so that the market must be called not quite so buoyant. There is still a great deal of buying among our yarn merchents, and the prices of this article have not advanced in propor: tion to cloth; there seems to be pe probability of its maintai he improvement firmly. ‘This branch of our trade presenta on the whole a favorable appearance. Rocwvary Fianser Manxer.— The demand for goods continues extremely brisk, and to-day’s market hes been equal to sny of the preceding ones. Yet, with the ready sale that pieces have met with,the manufacturer has not been able to obtain any advance of price. There has been very little doing in the wool market, on account of the dealers Kya ois to obtain an advance in Rice, which has been resisted by the manufacturers. ‘wool is difficult to buy, and rather better prices have been given; butother descriptions have been sold at former prices. It was stated inthe market, that at the London er end of the week, skin wool had bee m sold of one pound per pack. x.—We have hadrather more Inquiry for various sorts of goods to-day, whether in oem news from the east is matter of doubt, but things ere look- ing better, be the cause what it may. reps.—There has been a decided im }, enpe- cially in the white hall, and there have been some nil lations already in goods for China. There was not, how- ever, much doing in the colored hall ; indeed it wes very thinly attended. Some of our mills have also commenced running full time, and have set to work many freah hands, There is, therefore, some probability that the anticipated rigors of winter will be much abated by the working clas Pa ga ining full employment, and, con: » Plenty of food. Bi — sfrom China, &c. has had but lit. tle eflot on this maine, and with the exe of that of Savony cloths, of which a few more have bat on all other kinds no decided improvement or demand can be noted. In figured cloth nothing can be duller. Yarns continue much depressed, the spinners seem still de- termined on working short hours, which, at all events, keeps the stocks low. No change in wool. Haver Cotton Manet, Nov. 25.—Our Cotton sales went off pretty briskly to-day, about 1200 bales having been reported as sold in the Course ofthe morning: prices, however, met with no improvement. Unrefined Sugar is to-day sold onthe basis of 89} to 55} fr for good middling. On the whole, there appears to alten & great uncertainty respecting the fature, holders being seemingly determin- ed not to submit to any reduction, avd, on the other hand, there being stiit several lots unsold in our warehouses, sufficient for local consumption, which, on long as a will hinder any improvement taking place jue. Marseriurs, Nov. 19.—The week which ends to-day waslike the preceding one, by Do means productive of commercial transactions.
