LATEST ENGLISH INTELLIGENCE.

[From the Colonial Observe)'."] News from England, by the Hamlet, extend to he 13th September. The tumults in the manufacturing districts are now generally quelled. j It is computed that there are nearly 2,000 persons now in g tol throughout the country, for being concerned in the late disturbances. Almost all the gaols are choks full. Some of them can hold no more. The Dublin Evening Mail announces that Archdeacon Pakenham is to be the new Bishop of Meath, and Mr. T. B. C. Smith Solicitor-General. The wool trade seems to be in a stationary i state, and there is nothing to report as to prices. The subject of a mpdification of the American tariff, so as to admit American grown produce at a cheap rate, occupies the attention of the latest London and New York journals. Lord Hill, on his retirement from the Horse Guards, had been raised to the rank of a Viscount of the United Kingdom. Despatches had been received from Dusseldorf, dated Wednesday, the 7th Sept., announcing the severe illness of his Majesty the King of Hanover, and his subsequent favourable progress towards recovery. Mr. John Marshall, of London, the great emigration speculator, is appointed chief commissioner of the income tax, with a salary of £1,500 a year.— The Rothschilds, of London, have offered to compound for the income tax for the three years at £24,000. Government have conferred pensions of JSBO a year each on the four daughters of the late Colonel Dennie, of the 13th foot, who was killed at Jellalabad, where he commanded a sortie. In a general order, dated August 26th, the Duke of Wellington has appointed to be his aides-de-camp, Colonel the Hon.

Major-General Sir Arthur Clifton is spoken of as successor to the late Lord Vivian, in the Ist Royal Dragoons. Lord Greenock is to take the colonelcy of the llt'j, or Prince Albert's Hussars. The London Gazette of the 6th September an. nounces honours conferred on the 13th Regiment of Light Infantry. It is licensed to assume the title of the 13th, or Prince Albert's Regiment ; to

bear on its colours and appointments a mural I crown superscribed " Jellalabad, as a memorial of the fortitude, perseverance, and enterprise, evinced by that regiment, and the several corps which served during the blockade of Jellalabad ;" and is permitted to wear a medal distributed by the Governor-General of India to every officer, non-commissioned officer, and private, belonging to the garrison of Jellalabad. The unprecedented abundance of money in the City is the subject of surprise among all mercantile men. They cannot comprehend how such immense sums should have been so suddenly disengaged from business. Nor are they less astonished that the holders of it do not find out some satisfactory modes of investment. Some months ago, not less than five per cent, was regularly given for short loans of large sums, and now any amount may be had at one per cent. The result, it is said, must be a material reduction in the dividends of the Bank of England, and all the joint stock banks throughout the kingdom. The coalition between Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell is now the subject of belief and discussion in almost every journal throughout the country.
