O'Connell, Esq. M.P., John O'Connell, Esq., M.P., R. Dillon Browne, Esq., M.P. and H. Grattan, Esq., MP. and rs would attend, was to have taken pi ice et Carpenters' Hall yesterday , when,".as 31aca,!.elasall. lug the meeti ng would be clearly demonstrated, and the necess i ty sated, " th e evil effeutsof the present union r its repeal advocated." e-hertly a ft er t h e appo i n ted h. ur, eleven o'clock, several h un d red people hail assembled in th.t hall, and seve ra l t h ousands were outside, awaiting Mr. O'Connell's arrival. About half-past, eleven, the Rev. D. Ilearne announced, from the platform, that Mr. O'Connell had arrived, 'but was carried away by the mob, anti could not get into the hall, and had gone into G anby-row Fields, where he would address the people ; and that those who had pail for admission into the hall might have their money returned. On this announcement being made, the hall was cleated extraordinary disi•atch, and the reporters, heath d bs' Mr. Hearne, made their way through a dense crowd of people in Granb y .row Fields, to a caniage from which M r . O'Connell was speaking, and into which they were admitted. Mr. O'Connell was then saying, that many in England supposed that the repeat was a separation of the two countries. But the rep ea l was not a se p ara tion ; it we., con sistent with perfect alleAance to the Crown, infin:tely beyond that of the Tory faction, who affected it for their own base pur poses. The repeal of the Union was only the repeal of an Act of Parliament. He wanted Ireland to ;hive the power of legislating, for herself. If Ireland were represented, she would have now 170 Members in the Ili use of Commons, instead of 108. The House of Lords was bigoted and selfish ; and the Tories had got passession of the House of Commons, and had bribed a n d corrupte d t h e Ch ar ti s t s . The leading principle of the present House of Commons was bigotry against the religion of the Irish. Ile then alluded to the dif ferent Continent al kin uloins having populatiOns varying from one million to three millions, and which had independent Go vernments. Even Hanover, he said, with only a million of sub hects, had an independent G overnmen t, and he was glad they ad a boy of their own to govern them.—(Loud laughter. ) Ireland had eight million,; and, in point of population, then, he contended, she had a right to a separate Legislature, He adverted to the Lily of the Chartists in resisting the cry for cheap food, and said 13e should like to know if a shop keeper told one of them lat t ,tnight have two pounds of bread for a penny, whether he welder-sneerer, "No, I want the Char ter, and must give you two-penee."—(Cheers.) He sad he was for four of the five points of the Charter; but the fifth, Annual Parliaments. he thought, would be an injury, by ren dering people careless. He concluded by an eloquent descrip tion of Ireland, which, he said, contained all the elements of of a great and prosperous country.—( Loud cheers.) There was then a cry for John O'Connell ; but Mr. O'Connell said he had not come, as he was wanted in Kilkenny, for which place he was a candidate at the ensuing election.—The multitude then separated, with cheering, about one o'clock. In the evening a dinner was given to Mr. O'Connell in Carpenter's Hall. After " The Queen," the "Princess-Royal and Prince Al. bert," had beets drunk, the Chairman proposed " Daniel O'Connell, and a Repeal of the Union," which was responded to by Mr. O'Connell in a speech of considerable length and power; and in the course of which the Hon. Gentleman pour trayed, in eloquent language, the injustice of the Corn-laws ; and stated that he should not be able to attend the meeting on the Corn-laws this day, unless he received a letter from his son, stating that his presence was not required in the House of Commons. The next toast was, " A total and speedy repeal of the Corn-laws," which was ably responded to by Mr. Warren, the Pres:dent of the Operative Anti-Corn-law Asso ciation. The health of the Chairman was next given, and the reporters then lelt.—Mrachester Guardian. GREAT TRIUMPH-ROSCOMMON AND GALWAY COUNTY MEETINGS. (From the Dublin Pilot.) The famish-price men and double-dealing Tories have received a signal defeat at the great meeting held - yes terday in the county of Rozcommon. The Tories, under the management of Lcrd Lorton and the High Sheriff, Mr. Mahon, got up a requisition for a meeting• to peti tion Parliament on the subject of the Corn-laws, and procured the signatures of a number of the Liberal gen try to it, under the pretence that no party designs were entertained. With characteristic bad faith they imme diately set about preparing for a party triumph. The county assembled yesterday—the Tories in great numbers, from all parts of the country. The resolution in favour of the present torn-laws was brought forward. Mr. Grace, of Mantua, moved, as an amendment, a reso lution condemnatory of the present Corn-laws, as haying been proved by experience to cause great uncertainty of prices, and to have transferred to monopolists and mis chievous speculators the legitimate profits of the cultiva tor and owner of the soil, and in express terms approving of a fixed duty in the measure brought forward by Go vernment. - Mr. 1). Farrell, of Becchwood, seconded this • resolution, and it was carried almost unanimously ! Mr. Grace and Mr. Farrell were both requisitionists. and are both gentlemen of very large estates, besides being both practical farmers on a very large scale.— Their support of such a principle is, therefore, of the greatest importance. • - A resolution, warmly approving of the entire Minis terial policy, was in like manner proposed and carried with enthusiasm. This entire proceeding is a signal instance of the good sense and honest spirit of our people.. If any topic could have cajoled them, this was that only one, and upon this they have given an example which will be felt by the heart's core of every honest man in Ireland, and in England too, and be followed wherever the plotting monopolist presents himself. Hurrah for the honest men of Roscommon, and down with the monopolists ! On Tuesday a meeting, convened by the Sheriff of Galway, was held at Loughrea. There was a large fair there on that day, and private circulars hat brought the Tories together to a man. The terms of the requisition un equivocally pledged every man to a distinct approval of the present Corn-laws, and the object was as clearly to give a blow to Ministers. The plot has been a total and ruinous failure. Ministers have had a great triumph. Again, down with monopolists and fandsh-price shuffler 3, whether Whig or Tory Hurra, then, for Roscommon and Galway ! These both are almost exclusively agricultural counties —both counties which . it was believed could be gulled and practised upon, and which schemers thought would give a tone to the rest of agricultural Ireland in their favour. Glorious counties, you have set an e:iample ! ALARMING FIRE AT WINDSOR.—About seven o'clo-k on Nlonday evening a most alarming fire broke out in the house of Mr. Layton, confectioner to her Majesty Thames-s tree t, Windsor, which, at one time, threatened destruction to the whole house and the surrounding neighbour hood. The fire was got under before it had reached the draw ing-room floor. The three upper stories were completely gutted, and property to the amount of nearly 1,0001. destroyed. The fire was occasioned by the ignition of a foul flue, commu nicating with a beam in the laundry. An immense quantity of confectionary, jellies, ices, preserves, &c., prepared for the royal Montem breakfast at Eton College, and for the parties given by the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood to cele brate that festival, were wholly destroyed by the water pouring down upon them through the house in every direction.

ELFCTION FOR MARYLEBONE. A meeting of the electors of Marylebone, resident in the district of Kentish -torn, was held la t evening at the Assem bly-house, to take measures for securing the return of two s'aunch 'Wormers to rei resent the borough in the next Par liament. The Chair was taken at eight o'clock by Mr. 'Th vehement CHAIRMAN tozp Vt : T ra.Aeon r :sd e ßpue)l a poico t ,i f si h . : ,en t :(tt i ;)hren i , iii rgt rnt e aahgutt.dhhi aboutaet theirerdo.,l-Ohmt eis:cheering.ivfriendsd electorsoaci hailedpt a, pre-cut, e : s t t n h t Houghton, one of the Churchwardens of the paid h. • • T ' t the d m most upon curilev'ge,htblevuvris, the Tories was opened. They were about to tight the good fight once more, and to encounter the enemies of free dom in the field of war, in which they would have 0 e as.istance of the Gallant Englishmen who had already fought the battles of England and of freedom in other pints of the world, and had earned the title of the Nelson of the age.— ( Great cheering.) That Gallant Officer was present, and would state to this meeting, as he had done in other district: of the borough, what were the principles on which lie asked fur their suffrage.—( Hear, hear. ) Sir CHARLES NAPIER then reee, and was greeted with a universal burst of applause, which lasted several minutes. He again explained his view; in favour of the Bathe, without which, he repeated, an extension of the Suffrage would be use less, as was clearly proved in the case of the borough of Mary lebone, in which out of 38,000 persons qualified to vote, only 8,000 had ever gone to the poll, the rest being deterred from exercising their right by the want of any protection against the persecution of the wealthy Tories.— ( Hear, hear.) He also repeated his declarations in favour of the shortening the duration of Parliaments, ani expresed his determination to give every support in his power to the propo sitions of her Majesty's Ministers respecting the duties on corn, timber, end sugar.—(Loud and repeated cheering.) He had seen that some of his "fieeds" thought fit to represent him in a public advertisement as the supporter of flogging in the army and navy, and of Poor-law bastiles.—( Great laugh ter.) Now, it was very well known that he had declared at every met ting at which he was present in the borough, that no man was more averse to flogging than he was, and that no man had done more than he had done to put it down, as far as the present system of manning and governing the army and navy would admit.—(Cheers.) As to the Poor law bastiles, it was also well known that he was an enemy to bastiles of every kind—(Cheers)—and an far was he from wishing to shut up the poor in workhouses, that he had alway s insisted upon the right of the worn-cot poor to be received in those places, as in places of refuge and shelter, to which their rag services entitled them as much as the inmates of Green wich were entitled to that asylum, with perfect liberty to go out and take their exercise and enjoyment as they pleased.—( Re peated cheering.) In reference to some observations which had appeared in some of the newspapers respecting alleged differences between him and Admiral Stopford during his co.nmand in the Mediterranean, the Gallant Officer denied that there was any ground for the allegations so far as he was concerned. His explanation gave the greatest satisfaction to the meeting, and when he sat down there were given, in the most hearty manner, " Three cheers for Napier." Mr. A. JOHNSTON then said he had great pleasure in pro posing Commodore Sir C. Napier as one of the representatives of the borough of Marylebone at the ensuing election ; and he hail no doubt that the electors present would readily pledge themselves, and faithfully redeem their pledge, to wee their best exertions to secure his return as a worthy colleague of their estemeed representative Sir Benjamin hall. He con cluded by moving a resolution to the effect that the meeting approved of, and would support, S r C. Napier and Sir B. Hall as representatives of the borough at the next election.-- (Chesrs. ) Mr. Wiecox had taken time to consider whether or not he shouli support the resolution just read. He had carefully come to the opinion that the question about to be put to issue in the next election was—whether a few should govern the nation for their own purposes, or that a few should he com pelled to govern for the good ot the people?—(Cheers)—and he felt that whatever difference of opinion there might exist amongst the Reformers, it was the duty of individuals to merge small differences in the abstract- to secure unity of action (Cheers. ) If they did not act on that principle, they would be easily defeated, through their division, by any small body who, like the Tories, would act with singleness of purpose and unity of action.—(Applause.) The questions of 'he Ballot arid Universal Suffrage were still subjects of much difference ; but of this there could be but one opinion, that all those who were desirous of the free exercise of the franchise, by what ever means that was to be secured, and all who were desirous of carrying out the representative principle, ought to unite in exertion to exclude from power the Tories, who would only use it fur their own advantage. It was their interest to support Whiggery, which, under whatever firm it appeared, had this grand principle of republicanism—that those who exercised the powers ot the Gorernment should do so, not far themselves, butfor the people, and should bt coati oiled by the will of the people.—( Cheers. ) Having pronounced a warm eulogium upon the personal and political charac.er of the can didate before the meeting, he concladeA, amidst vehement ap plause, by seconding the resolution. Dr. Cooe TAYLOR, in an eloquent speech, which was ve hemently applauded, supported the resolution, which eves car ried by an immense majority, only seven hands being held up against it._ - Sir C. NAPIER observed that his " seven friends" seemed to stick, for he found them present in the same numbers, and no more, at every meeting he attended in the borough.—(Great laughter, and cries of " Mat's true ; they basil no more.") After a discussion of a merely personal nature, although very much protracted, between one of the " szvEN" and a gentleman named Portioner, who accused the gentleman (Mr. Young), with whose opposition they threaten Sir. C. Napier, if gross inconsistency, Professor Kay moved a vote of thanks to tie) Cliarntau, which was carried by acclamation. Three cheers were then given for the " Commodore," and the meeting separated. Sir C. Napier was attended to his carriage by an immense concourse, of whom a great part followed most of the way to his residence in Baker-street, repeatedly cheering, and crying out, " Hurrah for the Hero of Acre—the true Patriot Sailor!'

CH RO.NlCLE.—The . itiquir y whether Ministers possess the confidence of the present House of :Commons will soon, we trust, be altogether merged in the much more important ques tiou whether they possess the confidence of the country. In fact, the one question is masted in reference to the other. The topic of Parliamentary confiden c e i 3 raised partly to entitle the ()pposition to damage Minister:, if they can, with the country, aiiii partly to obstruct the full development of that beneficent policy an which the claims of the Government will substan tially rest in the gicat "Walks trial now impentlisie. Such tactics, however, are not adapted to inspire confidence in honest muds towards those who employ them. 'lhat Sir Robt. Pe,l brought forward a motion having no practical aim, being merely an oecasion factitiously cieated fur rasa-lung tie Mem bers of Government, and. tending to preclude inscussion on the peop'e's right to cheap food and the plan of Minis ters for allowing theta to obtain it, will not attract the confidence of those who look simply to the public welfare, and prefer straightforward means for its accomplishment. Sir Robert Peel's moti.in is disingenuously framed. Confidence is a question of degree. If a Ministry is required to possess it to such an extent as never to be baffled in its measures, what Government can abide the test? If the motion mean this, it goes upon a principle that renders the existence of a Govern ment impossible. We must sippose it then to mean that Mi nisters do not., stand sufficiently high in a graduated scale of Parliamentary confidence. We will take this construction ; and then we are entitled to ask, whether Sir Robert Peel and his coleagues stand higher in that scale ? Plainly not ; he would, else, have been in a majority and in office. If the present Ministry stand too low, the projected Ministry stands yet lower. A censure on the one implies a stronger censure on the other. 'Hie alleged want of confidence, based as it professes to be on the past, tells a fortiori against the leader of the Opposition. If Lord Mel autrie ought not to be Premier, much less ought Sir Robert Peel to be Premier. He disqualifies himself by his own showing. He propisses to vote out his own pretensions by extinguishing those which surpass his. And yet the drift, spi• rit, and design of his motion is to displace those who have the larger portion of confidence by those who only possess the smaller portion, on the allegati on that coAdenee is ess e ntial. A commercial m an wants an acting partner, and requires him to be possessed of capital. His only choice is between two men, one of whbm has 12,0::0/. and the other I 0 ,00W. ; the latter says, " I 2,a a. is not capital enough, your acting part ner ought to have more; my rival is plainly disqualified by his want of capital, and so take Inc; I propose that you instal vie by a resolution declari ng him to b e t oo poor ." J ust such is the purport of t hi s want of confidence motion ; as fallacious, as suming, and disingenuous. 'I he resolution before the House cannot be regarded on one side only. The Commons have only to choose between Russell and Peel. There is no mean ing in affirming a want of confidence in the one, unless it be also understood as an affirmation of sufficient confidence in the other. The negative in the case inevitably implies the positive. TIMES.—An Evening Journal in the Ministerial interest, unable to vindicate the speakers at the City Anti-Cern-law meeting from the charge which we brought home to them of disgracing themselves and the cause they advocate by "false hood anti nsense," " mountebanker) and impostune," has sheltered itteif under the convenient assertion that we garbled our quotations from their speeches. If the journalst had thought of anything except the shortest and most convenient way of salving over the detected follies and knaveries of his party, he might have 1 .arnt from the article, which he was riot answer,' g but es ading, that we had been at the pains to anti cipate this ready resource of Whig controversy. by quoting, not from our own report, but from that of a Ministerial con temporary. Af er stating.; he substance of certain observatiot s made by a Mr. Dillon, we continued as follows : " Mr. Grote, on the other hand (a man who, with all his faults as a politician, has this merit—that he generally says what he thinks), acknowledged that there had b• en en• couraged in this country a fallacious system of cultivating wheat, which owed its existence altogether to the Corn-lows,' and which would be cut down at one blow', if they were but:- delay repe a led." The evening journal gives this passage with its context, aid comments upon it after this fashion : " It is hardly necessary to say, that this is an utter misrepre sentation of the expres ions of Mr. Grote. for the purpose of malting them seem grossly inconsistent with the statements of the previous speaker, as well as grossly absurd and extrava gant in themselves. What Mr. Grote said was as follows : There has been encouraged a fallacious system of cultivating wheat in this country, to the exclusion of other produce, which owes its existence altogether to the Corn-laws; and we owe it to those who have been induced by our laws to embark in it, that we should take a cautious and measured line in approx imating to free trade.' What the Times made Mr. Grote say was an utter extravagance." It is " hardly necessary," certainly ; for if the passage we quoted was utter extravagance, the Times is not respons;',,e, for basing put it into the mouth of Mr. Grote ; the misre presentation" was that of an ex cee di ng l y `` and stanch Anti-Corn-la w Paler, T strong he Sun, from which ' e borrowed our quotation, after first aseertain'ng that it z e !4 • ieed with our o wn report. What M r . G rote may really 'cave said is of very little importance ; though, as far as we can see, the words inserted by our Contemporary, insteeT,' of improving the sentence, would turn it into e ith'er absolute nonsense, or the most f oo at the lisls of all.. possible untruths. We cannot be surprised th exposure-, w hi c h we have thought it our duty to make of the polities of the Anti-Corn-law agita tors Sloo*.d• irritate the partisans of the Whig Ministry, and "':.tike them impatient of our adherence to the views we have always professed upon this subject. No doubt they would feel the castigation less from persons whom they I could plausibly describe as friends of mon o p o ly, th an f rom a quarter opposed to the Corn-laws. They may, however, rest assts ed that we do not intend to relinquish our opinions merely because others endeavour to advance them by fraudu lent means, and for factious purposes. The course taken by Ministers has certainly Leen calculated to convert a vast nuns , ber of sober-minded men, accessible to reason but oppoied upon principle to mountebanicery and agitation, who were before wilt-erring in their views, into steady supporters of the Corn-law, and this, with all enlightened advocates of free trade, is a lead ng gravamen of the charge against the Government. Hut those who, like ourselves, had previously adopted definite. views of this subject for definite reasons, can not abandon them without some weightier cause than the iiiisconduct of these who seek to make them the stalking horse of an expiring faction. We would postpone them for ever, rather than " stir society to its foundations" by lending ourselves to the disseminition of delusive and inflammatory statements, calculated to misrepresent the real question at issue, and array the different classes of the community against each other, and we shall ever protest against such methods of war fare. Nor do we stand alone in this. The ablest and most in dependent of the Liberal weekly newspapers has been no less anxious than ourselves to strip away from the Corn-law ques tion the mass of falsehood and mystification with which the supple foals of the Treasury have sought to encumber it. But we shall never come forward as the advocates of a system which does not recomniend itse,f to our deliberate judgment as based upon , ousd principles of na.ional policy. TIMES.—As the Whigs are moving heaven and earth to counteract the national outcry which insists on expelling them from their Ministerial functions, it is proper that even the few persons who. may possibly be imposed on by the pretended de monstra ions now in progress should be seasonably forewarned against the shallow sophistry whereby their credulity is sought to be abused. No doubt, if we except the indifferent muster of tap-room politicians anti Lumber-troopers, who follow the drums of the Anti-Corn-law League, the public generally are pretty familiar with the feints and stratagems of that notable recruiting-party : but, es there are always some whose igno rance may expose them to be preyed on by the salaried leaguers who have a direct interest in beating nip for meetings, petitions, signatures, and subscriptions, we shall briefly adduce one solitary ' fact which, in preference to a thousand abstract arguments, must certainly convince oar readers that what is craftily called the Anti-Corn-law agitation has really no noticeable existence at all ; that. the said agitation is confined solely to the mortified breasts of those who fail to excite it elsewhere ; and that the people of England are universally treating it as one of the fugitive hunibugs of a dying political faction. Apart altogether from the expediency or inexpediency of subjecting the Corn-laws to the revisal of competent statesmen at a pro per time, the striking and significant fact to which we ar.s about to allude (namely, that the Anti-Corn-law leaders hate proclaimed by advertisement, that the country does not sup port them) must at least demolish the reiterated assertions of the Ministerial press as to the popularity of their cause. For the last twelve months or more, our ears have been stunned with noisy representations about the mighty gatherings of Anti-Corn law delegates, and the rapid extension of their principles throughout the entire kingdo.n. Judging from the boastful bulletins which have issued from h ad-quarters, one would have imagined cot merely that the League was entitled to' the preferable appellation of a Legion, but that its actual progress had been that of a grand victorious airily. We now learn, however, from late'r and more authentic accounts, that there has been " somethng too mud" of this." Doubtless, even in the absence of econdary resources, miracles of high achieve ment may occasionally be performed, particularly in paper despatches; but in speculating on the reported aucce.ses of a campaign against such a powerful adversary as exists in this case, people seldom forget that the real effective strength of die exultant party must always be determined by the state of its commissariat. Now it so happens that the Anti-Corn-law belligerents, notwithstanding their vaunted triumphs, are at preseot peculiarly chapfallen on account of their destitution of the sinews of war. lIERALD.—Another night. has been devoted to the dis cussion of Sir Robert Peel's proposition to the House of Coro t/low, that it should record, by a solemn resolutions, its want of confidence in her. Majesty's present Government. We are disposed to feel increased "confidence," on a retrospect at the speeches delivered last evening, in the nature of the consum mation that is destined to close tine debate. Any tiring so Slippery, so prec ar i ous, so equivocal, as the hold whichhr r Majesty's advisers appear to have on the disinterested attach ment or zealous co-operation of their own party in the Houte, we do not remember., within our own experience, ever to have Wi•nentstl. Some involuntary ebullitions of impatience, a few transient snatches of unextinguished affection for their com mon country, andan occasional expression of unappeased remorse at their own shameful participation in the guilty uses to which they have concurrel in prostituting her spirit, and energy, and genius, are features in some recent speeches of Irish Members, which cannot escape the attention of a careful ob server. These are indications of evil omen to the despotic chief whom a large proportion of the representatives of Ireland have ssrved too leng, and followed too implicity.

" The important part. which Persia has recently been playing in the great game of Eastern politics, and which she will con tinue to play for sometime to come, must excite strong inte rest towards Mr. 2ovoler's work, describing, as it does, in their minutest details, the domestic manners, the moral and political condition, and the personal charaoter of the actual living inha bitants of that singular country—from the Shah on his bril liant throne to the peasant in his mud-built hovel. Mr. Fow ler's lengthened residence and extensive journeyings in Persia have given him a degree of practical knowledge on these mat ters, scarcely possessed by any other of our countrymen. His wild adventures in Koordistan, his Tatar gallop across the de sert, his imprisonment in the fortress of Malis Ghira, his re ception by the Shah, Abbas Meerza, and, above all, the curious disclosures he makes respecting Russian diplomacy in connec tion with Persia, will cause his book to be read with the greatest interest."—Sun. _ _ ,Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13,..Greist Marlborough-street.

It is not true," re-t,rt .he Mi nisterial organs, " for, if power bad passed Loin the Govern meat party to that of the Conservatives, the Later, by mear:s of that power, would have taken possession of office." Softly, Messieurs Ministerialists, your assumption is much toe swift. You speak of one sort of power, and we of azothcr. The 'lnver which Ministers have lost, or rather that which the pre. sent Ministers have never had, is the power to 9...? tern. Ihe power to hold office is another matter. When men Qf spirit and honour men deserving the high name s.f British statesmen--are appointed to office they hold of only so long as they have the power to govern, As , soon as the power to govern passes away they voluntarily relinquish office. But if mean men are appointed to hilics—if men whose chief glory is that of being suoeeesful cour tiers, and who care coshing for consthutioral pravueo when it goes against their own interest—if in.men of this character be appointed to official station, their power to govern may be taken away by their opponents, and rid they 4. mane in office, compelled to do what they thruiselvea condemn I 'lbis the condition of the pie,ent administrati4 , n. They do trot think it necessary (while they arc in office) that the power to govern should settle and determine the emstitution of the Go 7 vernment. They know vcry %nil that ever since they came into office, in 1835, the plans which she; Lave put tt.rwar,l as the best plans for governing the country have teen ale. feated. Whenever anything has been 'nought forw..rti as vitally important to the public welfare, it ties been Barely altered in some of its more material points by the Opposition, or it has been defeated altogether. This is the power which the Opposition has wielded. This is the power which Govcrti• ment ought to have posses s ed over the phis of the Opp.si tion, but which it has not psssessed. Stud it must be granted that the Government has had the power to hold plies ; Litt that is all the power it has had, and that is the vay thing of which we complain. MONEY MARKET and Cll Y NEWS. - • - FROM THt MORNING PaPSRS OP THIS PAT. POST.—The quotations for the publ_c securities reffibis undisturbed. Hardly anything was dune in ehher hlarket the whole of the day, the unsettled state of our publie affair:, and the prospect there is of further large emissions of Govenimetit raper, still contributing to the general languor that has exiated, independently of these and other specific causes of tlepeession that might be enumerated. Money was considered tolerably easy fcr Stock Exchauge purposes. We understand there is no doubt that Messrs. Latfitte and Co. of Paris stand by their contract for the negotiation of the Texan loan, and that books would be epened for subscriptions on Thursday, the 3d ins!ant. SUN.—Until something definite is known respecting the con sequences of the Conservative attempt to wrench the Govern.- meat from her Majesty's present advisers, the jobbers in the public securities, and even those disposed' to make beau fidt sales or purchases are at a loss how to act. The queatkaa.- then, is not how far the depression in the funds may extend, but rather :alien the market slidl again become an:inated,for we tn-st bear in mind, that frequently the effects of anticipation exceed those of the reality, and the suspense in which till &askew are kept by the political conflicts of parties in the House of Com mons,...may pc:lmps ultimately turn out to have exercised more influence ui on prices ihan even a dissolution would have done. To day the funds were not lower, but there was an absence of activity.
