Near Aldgate Church the aged stranger stood, And lean'd upon a stiff of knotted wood ; While, ever and anon, he rais'd his eyes With looks of mint led pleasure and surprise. Seeing him there, I stay'd my onward walk, In hopes, at length, of getting him to talk ; Then stepping up —" Good morning, Sir," said I— " Good morning," was the grey hair'd man's reply. " I can't help looking," said the" Man of Yore," " At that great house which now we stand before. 'Tis twenty years ago since I was here, And what a mighty change 1 0 dear, 0 dear! There's an extensive warehouse I There's a show I Who would hive thought it twenty years ago ? But will you," ask'd the venerable man, "Explain the housos on so great a plan ?" "With all my heart," said 1, " I'm always glad, To give instruction where it may be had. This is the Mart of MOSES, so renown'd, In all the land and all the world around ; Part of the warehouse (venerable sire) Is set apart for GENTLEMEN'S ATTIRE, Attire which no one had the luck to know Ere MOSES (4mM—twenty years ago. The splendid house, which yonder you behold, Is but a sample of the garments sold, And understand," said I, " that cheapness there An equal prominence is found to bear. MOSES and SON were first in all' the trade By whom reductions in the price were made. A HAT MART," I continued, "you will see, On turning round your eyes to eighty-three. Such Hats and Caps are purchas'd there," said I, "As you have never witness'd years gone by. A BOOT MART Also helps to swell the pile; Put on your glasses Sir—'tis worth your while. MOSES and SON, in Boots and Shoes, have shown That none can match the value of their own. FURS, SHAWLS, AND HOSIERY Likewise from a part, And.help to magnify that giant Mart MOSES and SON, in goods like these, as well, Successfully endeavour to excel. THEIR MART POR OUTFITS Clearly shows alike What advantageous bargains we may strike, And thus have I endeavour'd to convey, A faint idea of that superb display." With this I cut the friendly chat asunder, And left the " Auld Man" gazing still in wonder.

FOREIGN WOOLS.---" At the recent Wool Sales, the whole of certain qualities of Foreign Wools, after coins competition, were rurehased for Messrs. Nicoll, the extensive Woollen Drapers and Clothiers of Regr nt-street and Cornhill. They are all marked for Gloucestershire, as in that county the mills are situated wherein the raw material will be converted Into the beau- Rini fabric known as the Nieollian Cloth, a species of manufacture Introduced by the rrm from whom it derives its name."—The Sun. WOOLLEN BUYERS and CONSUMERS are reminded that Messrs. NICOLL were the first, and continue to be the only, house in the United Kihgdom that ever offered to the buyer and consumer, for cash payments, the saving of all the several profits of the In termediate grades that continue to exist between the wool growers and themselves. As will be shown by the above extract from one of the public journals, the wool used in the manufacture of the Nicollian Cloth does not leave Messrs. N.'s po-session until it is produced in the piece ready for sale, either by their Agents, or themselves at the Whole sale Warehouse, 120, REGENT-STREET, and afterwards when made up into the fashionable and Patented garments known as the NICOLL, the REGISTERED PALETOT, and NICOLL'S MORNING COAT, all of which can be purchased singly of the several recognised Agents, as also of the Patentees. 11.

ANOVELTY. —There has lately been registered an article that cannot fail to find a place in every Gentle man's wardrobe, as it effectually provides for a long-acknowledged want therein. The said novelty conststs in a body garment some what in the form of a dress-coat— that is to say, it can be worn without any distinct infringement of the laws of cos tume recognised in society upon ordinary dress occasions ; but yet the garment is more especially intended fer morning wear, as a Riding or Walking Coat ; and as, for such exercises, each will maintain his own idea as to the requisite ease necessary for its fit, the inventors, in order to insure the full convenience of their patrons, will keep ready an extensive graduation of sizes, F 0 that a s.•lection can be made proportionate with the nature of exertion or the wearer's own taste—thus at once obviating 'any annoyance arising from the cutter not immediatelcly comprehending what is wanted. Although composed of the NICOLLIAN CLOTH, Yet a most moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL'S MORNIA G COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty, and which can be had in London only of 11.

These Pills are eqully efficacious in curing old coughs, recent colds, asthmas,:sore throats and all pulmonic disorders.

TIIE COUNTRY MARKETS. _ _ HULL, FEB. 27. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—The actual businesa transacted during the past week has been trifling, though holders have shown more disposition to meet the declining market. For this day's market our farmers brought a fair supply of wkect, which only met a dull sale at about the cerreney of last week for the finost samples, while inferior qualities were quite neglected. Foreign wheat only dull sale, even for the best ruus of Red, which are com paratively scarce; the market generally is Is. per qr. lower. Without much English barley offering, there was a good show of Foreign, the greater portion fresh imported Saale, which on the whole only met dull sale. There has been more business doing this week in feeding barleys—the low price attracting speculators. The best samples of beans obtain our quotations, but secondary qualities are neglected. No change in peas. A little more business has been passing in oats, but we do not alter our quotations. The linseed market remains unaltered, with a pod market for oil, but reduced terms for cake, which is now obtainable on very low terms. No transactions in rape seed, but cakes fetch our quotations.

Peas ...... 89 ~ 31s. 4d. LIVE rtroot, TUESDAY, FEB. 27.—The supplies from Ire land and coastwise during the past week comprised moderate quantities of malt, oats, and oatmeal, but trifling of all other articles. From foreign ports they were small of wheat, con siderable of Egyptian beans and American Indian corn, and moderate of flour ; the exports being 1,989 quarters of wheat, 7,572 quarters of Indian eorn, 746 barrels of corn-meal, 379 sacks and 4,530 barrels of flour. The weather was mild and changeable until the close of the week, and on the whole favourable for agricultural operations, which are progressing rapidly ; and a larger breadth of land than usual appears likely to be put under culture in this district. In the past three days we have had - some sharp frost, which may prove beneficial in checking the over luxuriance of the autumn sown wheat. The trade has been extremely quiet, and few transactions of moment have been reported. The finer descriptions of wheat, owing to the imports for the present having ceased, maintain their value, while all other descrip tions being still offering ex ship, were easier to purchase. Flour was held with rather more firmness, but few sales were effected. There was more inquiry for Indian corn, yet prices were 6d to is per 4SO lbs lower, 28s being taken for white, and 29s to 30s for yellow. For all other articles the demand was so limited that prices may be considered nominal. At this day's market there was a good attendance of dealers, and a better tone per vaded the trade generally. The finer descriptions of wheat supported previous rates, and midding kinds recovered the de pression of Friday, with a better and more general demand. There was a very slow sale for oats and oatmeal, without any change in prices. Barley, beans, and peas could only be moved off in retail quantities, but there was no alteration in value. Indian corn and corn meal were only in moderate request, and our extreme quotations could not be easily realised. There was more inquiry for flour, and without any material change in prices, sellers had a slight advantage. LEEDS, FEB. 27.—We continue to have small supplies of grain. The litttle wheat offering is cleared off at last week's prices. The finest barley fully raaintains its price, but other qualities are difficult to dispose of. Oats and beans support their value.

BOIV-STREET. Dewy E. Russell, who had been for twelve years a clerk in the Westminster Fire-office, in King-street, Covent-garden, was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with emb ezz li ng moneys amouo ting to 8001. Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, stated. that the prosecu tion was instituted by the governors and directors of the Westminster Fire-office Compaq, but it was hi s inten tion to ent er i nto a m i nor cas e only for the pr esen t, an d request a remand for a few days- Mr. R. Hughes, a gentleman residing in Park-street, Regent's -park, stated that on the 29th of January last he went to the Westminster-office , and paid the sum of 61. to the prisoner, from whom he received the receipt form produced. The payment related to an insurance. Mr. W. Brown, the secretary to the Westminster Fire office, proved that the prisoner was in the employ of the company in January, and that the printed form produced was one of the receipts usually given in the office. Wit ness had ref erre d t o the corresponding number in the counterfoil from which the receipt-form had been torn, but the entry was in a different name, although in the same handwriting—namely, the prisoner's. No account was rendered by the prisoner of the payment o f 61. de posed to by M r . H ug h es . The prisoner left the esta blishment on the Bth of February inst., on which day witness received the following letter in his handwriting. It was without date, but was signed "11. E. Russell." " Sir,—l must at length conftss to you that I have been unfortunate enough to do that which is wrong, and that my account is very considerably minus. I will give you an explanation to morrow morning, but to-day it is impossibl e . I h o p e , i n consequence of my long, and I may add, for a long time, faithful services, that the di rectors, in consideration of my family, aid circumstances unknown to tht , m, will be as lenient as possible. I may also add th at no b o dy is i m plicated i n t hi s matter but myself." Upon this evidence his Wonsan. ordered the prisoner to be remanded for further examination. MARLRO.ROUGH - STREE7'. John Williams was charged with having obtained money from Lord Anson, M.l'., by false representations. His Lordship said. the prisoner called on him at his chambers in the Albany, and asked for assistance on behalf of a woman named Mary King who was repre sented to be a native of.

Having found out that the prisoner was an impostor, he employed the p, lice, and under their advice he put some money in a packet, and sent it to the prisoner by a mes senger who came with a letter to him. James Enablin said he was employed by the prisoner to tike a letter to Lord Anson', chambers. He returned with a packet, but the prisoLer, who suspected some thing, would not receive it, and pretended to have no knowledge of witness. The prisoner was ordered to stand committed for three mouths, but to be brought up again in a week. LITERATURE. TWICE-TOLD TALES. By Nathaniel Haw- thorne . A " twice-told tale " is generally considered a tedious affair, but there is no rule without an ex ception. Mr. Hawthorne's tales are worth twice telling ; they have already many of them appeared in the Metropolitan Magazine, and are now collected in one small volume. These tales, or rather tales and meditations, are of a peculiar character : there is something quaint and singular in the conception of nearly all of them, but that very singularity adds to their effect. The moral of the whole is excellent, almost every page of the little volume contains some admirable advice curiously set forth, or some beautiful thought forcibly expressed. The peculiarity of the writer's manner has at times a thrilling and powerful effect. In one of the more reflective pieces, " The Haunted Mind, " we find the following reflections upon the peaceful hour of thoughtfulness enjoyed by one who awakes in the early morning, long before the hour of rising, refreshed by his recent sleep. " Yesterday has al ready vanished among the shadows of the past; to morrow has not yet emerged from the future. You have found an intermediate space, where the business of life does not intrude, where the passing moment lingers and becomes truly the present ; a spot where Father Time, when he thinks nobody is watching him, sits down by the way-side to take breath." Yet the meditations of this wakeful hour are not always happy ones : " In the depths of every heart there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the lights, the music, and revelry above may cause us to forget their existence, and the buried ones, or prisoners whom they hide. But some times, and oftentimes at midnight, those dark receptacles are flung wide open. In au hour like this, when the mind has a lassive sensibility, but no active strength; when the imagination is a mirror, imparting vividness to all ideas, without the power of selecting or controlling them; then pray that your griefs may slumber, and the brotherhood of remorse not break their chain. It is too late! A funeral train comes gliding by your bed, in which Passion and Feeling assume bodily shape, and things of the mind become dim spectres to the eye. There is your earliest Sorrow, a pale young mourner, wearing a sister's likeness to first love, sadly beautiful, with a hallowed sweetness in her melancholy features, anel grace in the flow of her sable robe. Next appears a shade of ruined loveliness, with dust among her golden hair, and her bright g a r m e n t s a ll f a d e d an d de faced, stealing from your glance with drooping head, as fearful of reproach; she was your fondest Hope, but a delusive one; so call her Disappointment now. A sterner form succeeds, with a brow of wrinkles, a look and gesture of iron authority; there is no name fur him unless it be Fatality, an emblem of the evil influence that rules your fortunes; a demon to whom you sub jected yourself by some error at the outset of life, and were bound his slave for ever, by once obeying him. See! those fiendish lineaments graven on the darkness, the writhed lip of scorn, the mockery of that living eye, the pointed finger, touching the sore place in your heart! Do you remember any act of enormous folly, at which you would blush even in the remotest cavera of the earth? Then recognise your Shame." Among the more amusing of these tales is " Mr. Higginbotham's catastrophe," which we recently no ticed when it appeared in the Metropolitan. This tale, marked as it is with some of its author's startling peculiarities, is, of its kind, one of the most curious compounds of the interesting and the ridiculous that we have ever met with. THE GEM OF THE ASTRAL SCIENCES; or, Mathematics of Celestial Philosophy. By Thomas Oxley, C.E. This interesting volumes contains all the mathe matical and astronomical information comprised in Mr. Oxley's well-known " Trf atise on the Celestial Planispheres," together with much valuable original matter, and numerous illustrative diagrams. The talented and learned author abstains in the present edition from any consideration of the judicial depart ment of Astronomical Genethlialogy, and applies himself exclusively to the treatment of those scientific calculations which have never been so clearly and accurately developed by any other writer on the sub ject. his method, now for the first time propounded, of performing these calculations for all places in the southern hemisphere is eminently beautiful. But it is needless to enter into a detail of the manifold ex cellencies of the work, as no student of Urania can possibly dispense with its possession. THE LAW MAGAZINE and QUARTERLY REVIEW of JURISPRUDENCE. The previous high character of this periodical, and its undoubted position as one of the first of the legal publications of this country, is creditably and fully sustained in the number for this month. The articles are written with vigour and perspicuity, and the selection of the subjects discussed is peculiarly happy, most of them being topics at present occupying a considerable share of public attention. The number opens with a well-written article on the Reform of Poor-law Litigation ; ,and among other papers of in terest, contains one on. West India Judicial Reform, in which that subject is discussed in k judicious and temperate manner. The views of the writer are sound and comprehensive, and the plan which he proposes for the reform of the present corrupt and. inadequate judicial establishment in those colonies, seems well calculated to re medy the evils complained of. We trust that this subject will meet with that consideration, at the Colonial-office, which its importance so fully merits. An excellent article on that intolerable nuisance— the Palace Court, of Jacob Omnium notoriety —in which we hare a history of the origin, rise, and pro. gress of that " venerable ' hinstitute," concludes the number, which is not only a valuable one to the legal world, but highly interesting to the public generally, from the number and variety of the articles, as well as the terse and perspicuous style in which they are written. SCHOOL BOOKS. NOTES ON HERODOTUS, Original and Se lected from the Best Commentators. By Dawson W. Turner, M.A. For students of Herodotus this work will be a great acquisition. It is a compilation from the notes of the best commentators, Baeher, Schweighceiiser, Heeren, Wesseling, and others. The notes selected are, says Mr. Turner, those most likely to be really useful to students in the universities, and to the higher classes in schools. They are for the most part particular descriptions of the places, persons, and things referred to by the historian, with occasional elucidations of difficulties in the Greek text. These notes are so numerous as to fill a quarto volume of four or five hundred pages. XENOPHON'S ANABASTS: Books I. and 11., with a Copious Vocabulary, for the Use of Schools. By J. Fergusson, M.D., Rector of the West end Academy, Aberdeen. An invaluable book for scholars and schoolmasters in general. The editor has desired, he tells us, to offer a Greek book for beginners, consisting of a con tinuous narrative, 'with a copious vocabulary, and a translation of the more difficult phrases. The vocabulary and translations are excellent in their way; but, to our thinking, the best recommendation of this volume is its excellent typography. Free from any of those contractions so appalling to beginners, the beautiful characters of the Greek alphabet appear here to full advantage, and so far from being per plexing to the learner appear almost as plain as English. L'ECHO DE PARIS. By M. Lepage. Fifteenth Edition. A work which has reached its fifteenth edition hardly requires commendation. The admirable vocabulary of M. Lepage has been fully telited, and its merits generally recognised. These conversations are not arbitrary phrases, but dialogues of every day occurrence—the echo of the nurseries and drawing-rooms of Paris. They are so arranged as to form little stories, and are, therefore, likely to please while they instruct the juvenile learner. READY GUIDE' TO FRENCH COMPO SITION. By M. Lepage. These exercises are arranged on an unusual plan, which, besides teaching the writer French, is likely to do him a yet greater service by promoting the use of his thinking powers. For example, instead of teaching a rule by rote, and then showing the child the example, the example is shown first, and the child finds the rule from it for himself. Thus, instead of saying the article le is used before masculine nouns, and la be fore feminine nouns singular, and les before plural of both genders, a number of phrases are read, such as le pere, la mere, les enfans, &c., and then the child, on being questioned, learns from these examples, by his own observation, what is the rule for the application of the articles. In more complicated rules this plan w ill be found very efficacious. Generally spEaking, French scholars can repeat the grammar rules by heart, but if they sit down to write a French letter they are marvellously at a loss how to apply them. THE CRITICAL FRENCH PIIONOUNC ING VOCABULARY. By Marin de la Voye. " The writer's object in composing this critical pronouncing vocabulary was," he tells Iv, " that of placing within the reach of beginners a small and ac cessible volume, within which they could instantly find the pronunciation of any French letter, syllable, or word, hi whatever oral situation it might appear. Being somewhat similar to Walker's Pronouncing Dictionary, the plan is more familiar to the generality of English students. French lessons have been col lected at the end of the book for the purpose of serv ing as graduated exercises in pronunciation." To those who are studying the French language without a foreign teacher, this little book will prove a most useful companion to the dictionary and vocabulary. The letter a as pronounced in the English words bar, bat, and bard, e as in her, bed and there, i in pin, o in no, shot, more, and note, and u in gude, are the examples which serve very efficiently to regulate the pronunciation of the French words. CALDER'S ARITHMETIC. The title-page describes this little book as " a familiar explanation of the higher parts of arithmetic comprising fractions, decimals, practice, proportion, and its application, &c., with an appendix designed as an introduction to algebra, by the Rev. F. Calder,B.A., Head Master of the Grammar School, Chesterfield. Mr. Calder thus explains the object of his work, which ex planation will be better than any comment we can give : " My object in printing this work is to supply a want which I, as a teacher, have experienced, of a school-book which would explain the more difficult parts of arith metic in a manner sufficiently familiar for the compre hension of youth, and yet sufficiently accurate and at tentive to principles to be worthy of being considered an explanation. "It is well known to teachers that pupils, in going through all the operations of Fractions, are generally taught to perform the mechanical process which the rule tells them will bring out the desired answer ; but not a particle of demonstration is given by which that pro cess is shown to be correct. Consequently, boys make the grossest mistakes whenever the smallest knowledge of the principles of Fractions is required ; and when any who have so learned arithmetic advance to algebra, they find all the operations required in the treatment of Fractions perfectly new to them ; whereas I think that it it will be found, that if young people of both sexes are taught according to the rational method laid down in this book, such learners will not only obtain a portion of that mental training which is derived from mathe matical study, but will, if they pursue that study, find the path thereto smoothed to a very considerable extent. " I have no doubt that some readers, who may be well acquainted with the suljects here treated of, will say that this book is too diffuse in its explanation ; but I think that this complaint will not come from those for whose use it is mainly designed, viz., youth, and teachers of youth ; nor from those who, later in life, may think it worth their while to try and learn the meaning of those rules and operations which they never compre hended while at school. If such persons can, without any assistance, understand what is here contained, I shall feel well satisfied with the success of my attempt." One of the chief advantages of the study of figures is the exercise which it gives to the mental faculties. Mr. Calder, by enabling his scholars thoroughly to understand what they learn, will greatly contribute to this desirable object—the improvement of their think ing capacities. CURIOSITIES OF THE LONDON DIRECTORY.—The Directory points out a division of labour in, or belonging to, the hat-trade that few persons dream of : it records hat-band makers, hat-block makers, hat box makers, hat case makers, hat dyers, hat-lining and leather cutters, hat-shag makers, hut-tip makers, hat-varnish makers, hat-bowstring makers, hatters' furriers, and hatters' trimming makers. Those who have a taste for such de tails, would also be amused by turning to the pages which set down the ten distinct varieties of handicrafts men which seem indispensable to the making of a piano forte, and to the twenty nine necessary to make the works of a watch and to put it together. As instauces of the extremely minute division of labour, we may add that there are tea-pot handle makers and ear-ring joint •ma kers And here, as we have mentioned one of what may be culled the curiosities of the Loudon Directory, we may as well digress to mark a few more. Scarcely a year pusses but the trade classification will notify a new trade, originating in the introduction of some Lovel ar ticle of commerce or in some improvement in science or the useful arts. Of such trades we find in the Directory f"r 18-i that there are 15- dealers in gutty percha, owe thtir livelihood to the recent discoveries of Sir J. Brooke, the Rajah of Sarawak. The railway mania has placed upon the record 11 " average staters and adjus ters," and 3 railway statists. The tide of emigration has, it seems, AO strongly set in of late, that it occasion ally sweeps away to the antipodes entire habitations. Hence we find that there are two firms solely employed in building portable houses " for exportation."—Notice of the Post-qllice Directory in the Daily News. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Yes. tei day morning a general meeting of the subscribers to this institution was held at the London Tavern; Alder man Finnic in the chair. The annual report stated that the subscriptions of masters, pilots, &c., had of late fallen off to some extent, but that the funds had received a great addition by the bequest of the late R. Lowrey, Esq., amounting in all to more than 3,0001. The report also acknowledged donations of various amounts from different individuals. The report having been received, the meeting proceeded to the election of six boys and four girls from a list of thirty-two candidates, being an addition of ten to the 100 orphans already in the asylum. The meeting separated after a vote of thanks to the chairman. STATE OF TRADE — MANCHESTER.—There has not been much change in this market since last week. There was considerable inquiry for goods suited to the Indian market, and the rates of last week have been fully main tained for all such goods. The feeling generally was good, and the impression general that a good amount of business may be expected to be done. FIRE IN THE COLLEGE SCHOOL-ROOM AT GLOU CESTER.—The inhabitants of Gloucester were alarmed shortly after ten o'clock on Saturday night last, by the breaking out of a fire in the College school-room, which it was feared would spread to the venerable cathedral. The school-room is over the chapter-room of the cathe dral, and the chapter-room adjoins the library, which opens into the cloisters and into a room communicating with the treasury and with the body of the cathedral. The fire is supposed to have originated from one of the tour stoves by which the school-room is warmed having set fire to the floor, which was much burnt; some of the flaming books fell through the floor, and, but for the di,covery of the fire, must have communicated the com bustion to the room beneath. The papers, documents, &c., kept in the closets below were rescued, and by the vigorous exertions of the inhabitants of the city and those who had the direction of the engines, the flames were subdued before any damage was done to the cathedral. A statement having been very generally circulated through the press, that Lord and Lady Blantyre have boen excommunicated by the Lord Bishop of Glasgow, for attending a schismatical place of worship, we are re quested to state that there is no kind of foundatio❑ for this report. The correspondence which has recently passed between the Bishop and his Grace the Duke of Argyll has been published by Messrs. Rivingtons. It may be relied on as an accurate account of the part which the Bishop felt it his duty to take; and it will be seen that no allusion to Lord and Lady Blantyre occurs in any of his letters.—Post. AWFUL OCCURRENCE : WOMAN WORRIED DT A Doc.—On Tuesday evening a frightful occurrence took place in Clifford-street, a small street leading out of Islington, in this town. A dog of the bull and terrier species, and of enormous size, was_ kept chained up in the cellar of a house in Clifford street. On Tuesday, however, it snapped its chain broke through the cellar window, and ran in an infu riated state into the . atreet. Mrs. Brown, the wife of a labourer, residing in a court-house in the street, her ran to to protect one of her children who had b een bitten the animal, when the dog flew at her, threw e most down, and proceeded to worry hervei!jely the in t h e savage manner.

GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. — The half-yearly meeting of this corporation was held yester day, at their offices, 71, Lombardy-strt et ; John Wilkin, Esq ,in the chair. The directors' report, and a state ment of the accounts for the halt year ending 31st De cember last, were read to the meeting. The report hav ing been unanimously adopted by the proprietors, the usual dividend and bonus were declared, when the meet ing broke up, highly satisfied with the continuing pros perity of the company. I MO-NE -COMMERCIAL NEWS. CiTY. QUARTER 10 ?URI:I:. The e...ea (.1 Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were m sti eted at 5.000 talcs. incl u di ng 2,000 for export and on speculation, ftt full price:. The market was steady, but nut active.—Railway Shares were in but limited demand. The letters and papers by the West India mail have been delivered since our yesterday's report, and are still of an unfavourable character, although in some respects a shade better than the last. The accounts received from Paris have excited much attention. A fall in the French fundsofl pertocent., even after such a continuous rise, is something agi tate the speculators, and accordingly, there is a feeling of apprehension and excitement. Many disbelieve the statements about Transylvania, the march of. the Russian troops to the frontier, &c., but there are ninny elements to excite distrust, and Austria, Italy, and Denmark aro naturally looked to with solicitude. The caution exhibited by the Bank of England in not reducing the minimum rate of discount may, should these political complications continue, be maintained yet for a time, and the public a ho have been selling stock, are for the present on the right side, 'al though we must make some allowance for exaggeration. In a publication by Mr. John Wade, entitled " Unre formed Abuses in Church and State," there are some rows( ks of special interest to capitalists, and men of business. We will not affirm that we concur in all of them, because we know how much easier it is to find fault than to remedy abuses; but that there is an urgent neces;ity for some change no one can gainsay. As Mr. Wade remarks of the French war:— " Aft( r the enormous loans raised towards the ter mination of hostilities, the annual int, rest arose to nearly thirty-one millions, exclusive of an enormous unfunded debt. At present the annual charge, as be fore mentioned, is a little below twenty-eight millions. Now this reduction of about three millions per annum, has not been the result of economy or political wisdom in the Government, but of the natural progress of the country in wealth and indus try. The people have done it all, not their rulers. Commercial enterprise and unparalleled labour have greatly augmented internal riches, of which the results have frequently been much abundance of money, and consequent low rate of interest. Under these favour. able conditions the Navy Fives and the Four per Cent. Stock rose above par, affording opportunities for tender ing to the holders either the payment of the principal of their annuities or the acceptance of a lower rate of in terest. " Additional savings in the annual charge of the debt have been Effected by the falling in of tetmitiial annui ties and the lowering of the interest of Exchequer-bills. It is probable that the process of the conversion o! stocks from a higher to a lower denomination would have con tinued had it not been interrupted by the ab sorption of capital in rails% aye. In 1843 the average price of Three per Cent. Consols was 95: it 1844, it was 98; and, in 1845, it had risen to 99. Bet the inordinate spirit of speculation in rail ways having then set in, opened an entirely new channel for the employment of the accumulated wealth of the country, and diverted it from investment in the national securities. Without this diversion of capital, it is likely the Three per Cent. Consols would have risen penile fleetly above par, thereby affording an opportunity to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to tender to the holders the usual alternatives of the payment of their principal, or the acceptance of less interest. The English Funds have been extremely heavy on account of the French news, and Money Stock is rather plentiful. Consols realise 92i to 91i for Transfer, and for Account 921 to 92. Bank Stock is 194 to 1951; Exchequer-bills are 40e. to 455. premium. Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 16j- to ; Portuguese Four per Cents. are 251 ; Mexican, 264 4. Venezuela, 27; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 494 to 50i. Shares are affected by the heaviness of Consols. ONE CLOSING eItICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. FRICI S.
