TILE ATONE)." MARKET.

SIOCId EXCHANGE, THURDAY EVENING.—The settlement of the Ac- count, which took place on Tuesday last, was effected without any diffi- culty or incident worth mentioning, save an unexpected scarcity of Stock for immediate transfer. This scarcity may he owing to the extra demand which usually occurs at the payment of the dividends, but has most pro- bably been increased by artificial means; and it still continues, notwith- standing a further sale on account of the Savings Banks. But no rise in prices has occurred, and in fact the whole variation in Consols since our last has not exceeded an eighth per Cent. The opening price on Monday was 87f to I for money, and 87;/ for the May account ; and on Tuesday 8iag• to and S7 to ic were the prices for some time; but afterwards they returned to and continued at alonday's prices, until to-day, when they were quoted a shade better. Exchequer Bills are at from 58 to 60. India Bonds 48 to 50 prem. Exchequer Bills would probably have been higher, as money has been very abundant in the Stuck Exchange this week : but there are some vague apprehensions of a funding of apart of those securi- ties; and until the Chancellor of the Exchequer explain his intentions on this subject, they will probably remain at or near their present price. In the Foreign house there has been very little business since our last. There have been, however, some fluctuations in Brazil Bonds; and the price is now one and a hair per Cent. lower than that of Saturday last. The complexion of the latest advises from Rio de Janiero is still very un- favourable ; and the Exchange had fallen so low as 251, a rate at which remittances to pay the dividend on the Bonds must be made at an enor- mous loss. Some of the other South American Bonds are a trifle higher, but nothing worth mentioning.

Russian Stock is still rising, and is now at from 961 to 97. Spanish is also a little better, say 91 to 10.

There has been a fall of nearly one and a half per Cent in the French 3 per Cents., on the Paris Stuck Exchange, owing probably to the sales of parties who have been realizing their profits on the late rise; but they are again recovering, and on the 15th were stated at 79f. 70c.

There is nothing to remark respecting Shares, excepting that the late advance in Brazil Shares has been fully maintained.

SATURDAY, ONE O'CLOCK.—There has been some business in Consols at higher prices. Stock continues scarce, and bears the same price for money as for the account on 26th May, viz. 88 to 881, with a firm market ;

CAMBEIDGE UNWERS1TY.—It appears, from a letter addressed by the Proctors to the Vice-Chancellor, that the peace of this seat of learning has been disturbed of late; and that the Proctors, resisted in the execution of their duty, have been induced to resign. The Vice-Chancellor and the Heads of the Colleges have, in consequence, issued an order, denouncing the punish- ment of expulsion from the University against any persons in state pupillari who shall meet together with the design of insulting any officer of the Univer- sity; or, being so met, shall not disperse upon being warned. The cause of this unseemly disturbance is not mentioned.

A letter in the Morning Chronicle to-day gives some particulars of this disturbance; and says it was provoked by the unpopular and arbitrary con- duct of one of the Proctors. On the 10th instant, about four hundred of the gownsmen assembled before the Senate House, and commenced hissing the unpopular Proctors in a " most hearty style:" when the "crowd became more mixed and larger, rotten eggs, dead rats, and epithets by no means flattering, were showered down upon the retreating Proctor, who thought it high time to abscond to his quarters in St. John's." Two gentlemen who were caught hissing, but who are not accused of joining in the more offensive demonstration of the riot, have been sentenced to two years' rustication ; but the Proctors considered this too lenient a sentence, and resigned. a.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE RELIEF, BILL.—One of the beneficial results arising

from the emancipation of the Roman Catholics is, that large sums of money are about to be invested in mortgages in landed property in Ireland, whence a higher, if not so secure a rate of interest may be obtained for the same, the usury laws not being in force there as in Engiam1.—Morning Chronicle.

EVASION OF MB. PEEL'S Brat.—The City correspondent of the Times men- tions that the manufacturers, and others in some parts of the country, have hit npon an expedient to remedy the supposed inconvenience of returning to a metallic currency. Those who have large sums to pay weekly to their work people have "drawn checks on their banker of 1/. each to a very large amount ; and as these were readily taken by the shopkeepers, on the credit of the issuer, they have passed from hand to hand instead of being presented to the banker's for payment, and have thus gut gradually into circulation." The Bristol Journal mentions the fact of one iron-master having issued "hun- dreds of checks for 2/. drawn upon his banker,"—or, in fact, upon the iron- master himself, as he is a partner in the banking-house. It is supposed that this substitution of one piece of paper for auother will be adopted in many disa tricts.

Pitivarzame.—Cansiderable excitement was produced at Lloyd's, on Tuesday, by the intelligence that the ship Union, of Buenos Ayres, having a cargo on hoard belonging to London merchants, for Rio de Janeiro, had been captured when scarcely out of the British Channel. The captor is the Fer- dinand the Seventh, recently armed and equipped in the River Thames, near the part where the Union took in her cargo. The pretence is, that the Fer- dinand is a Spanish privateer, authorized to cruise against vessels of the Trans.

atlantic States, late colonies to Spain. She is said to have obtained the necessary documents from the Spanish Consul in London ; and to have taken arms and ammunition surreptitiously on board,--as she sailed ostensibly in ballast, oath having linen made at the Custom-house that she had no warlike stores on board. The affair has been represented at the Foreign Office.
