EVENING SUN MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. HERALD.--On the subject of the Almaden mines it - esonld be unjust not to notice with commendation the sentiments expressed in the Spanish Cortes by Senores elarliani and Gonsalez, by the latter more especially as the Prime Minister of Spain. There is a prospect at length that the scandalous monopoly by which Spanish kmerica has been oppressed, by which the Spanish trea ury has been impoverished, and by which the. rightful property of the bondholders of Spain has been fraudu lentleeconveyed away from them, will be abolished. And if the Spanish Government be true to the; national inte rests it will be abolished for ever. For by what means so sure can the ancient intercourse between Spain and her former colonies be renewed, and a commercial pre ponderancy then secure d, as by the exclusive possession and supply of an article of prime necessity, which those colonial but now independent states can only obtain di rect or indirectly from th e mo th e r country ? The mines of Spanish America are perishing under the withering effects of the monopoly prices now exacted, of which not one suel'lo enters the Spanish treasury, because the grinding terms of contract, against moneys advanced in time of need, cover for Spain the prime cost of extraction only from these quicksilver mines. With these mines in hand Spain may almost dictate her own terms of corn- I mercial treaty with her old colonies. TIMES.—The failure of Messrs. Hunter, Gouger, and Co., was mentioned to-day in the City, and was a subject of general regret, from the known respectability of the house.. The engagements, it is said, do not exceed 70,0001., and from the statement of the parties them . selves, there is some reason to hope they will all bemet. Their difficulties have not arisen from any want of pru dence or mismanagement, as, on the contrary, they were generally known for their steadiness and caution, but arose out of the affairs of some of their correspond ents in.lndia. Two other smaller suseknsions are men tioned,. the first of which is an absolute stoppage by Messrs. Arnold and Woollett, Afisbrokers, while it is thought that the difficulties a alb other may yet be surmounted. At the half -yearly meeting ofthe Proprietors of the Australian Trust Company which was held to-day, the question was asked whether there was any negotiation going on between. that Company and another?—to which the Chairmen replied, that although a proposition had been made from the British Colonial Bank and Loan Company to the Directors, to she effect that the Trust Company should release them both of their business and responsibilities, such proposition was not entertained for a moment, nor was there an intention of entering into any negotiation with any other Company. The propo sition referred to was noticed in these columns in a para graph on the riveting of the British Colonial Bank and Loan Company. CHRONICLE.—Few people, if any, now dispute the right of the hone fide holders of the spurious Exchequer bills to .relief and compensation. The precedents fur nished by the opinions of our highest legal authorities, by the decisions of our Courts of Law, anti by the House of Commons in the case of the registrar of Madras, are conclusive their favour. The opinion of Mr. Goul burn on. the latter case, then, as he now is, Chancellor of the Exchequer, is certainly as strong and as much in point as it is possible fir language to express. We shall not repeat-the grounds on which it is clear as sun light that the frauds of Mr. Beaumont Smith were facilitated by the negligence of the superior officers of his department. It is indisputable that, if he had not • been allowed to do much as he liked —if he :had not .been permitted to have the free and unbrilled use of the official seal and Go vernment paper, his crime could not have been committed. That fact, indeed, is not denied. It is ac knowlelged that a traitor within was little expected, and was " inadequately . guarded against," and that " blank forms were accessible to Mr. Smith at his convenience, and the stamp was by him in the office." So far from any suspicion being entertained of fraud out of doors, it is not too much to say, in the words of the author' of the " Case " lately publish e d, th a t "d ur i ng t h e s i x years Smith's freud was carried on, almost every banker and money-broker in London and the East India Company must have held some of the-bills . he issued ; that the Bank of England could noel eve passed through its hands in the various deposits and redemption, less than half a million of these bills ; and that in the very month of October it held e 0,0001., of which e,OOOl. now remains in its hands unredeemed." Government itself, in the recent fund ing, has, it app ears , tok en a cons id era bl e amount of them in. payment for scrip, without detecting • any difference in them. The - Government, it is true, has since demanded other bills in their stead ; but this is a claim which, untleiethe circumstance, every lawyer says, cannot be mainteine& The bone fide holders have been saddled with the spurious bills entir e ly th roug h the ne gligence of the officers of the Crown ; and the opinion of Mr. G (Ahern, in such circumstances, is— " That tippler - eery - principle of justice, and in refer ence to former precedents to. which „allusion has been made, the Government is bound to make good the loss of the claimants. I hold this opinion upon principle, be cause I feel that a Government which shrinks from sa tisfying even the doubtful claims of persons oho have sustained a loss by the negligence of a public officer, does not sustain ite character - for justice and liberality, if it relies on any technical objection, in opposition to the claims of the parties."—Mirror of Parliament, Vol. II [.

Correspondent, who, we suspect, might truly say pars mayna Ai, has furnished us with the following anecdote of " Elia," which he assures us is not only true, but unpublished :—ln the winter of 1794 Charles Lamb was invited by his friend, L. G., of Tri nity College, to sp e nd a f ew d ays w i t h him. Lamb ar rived by the night coach, when his friend L. G. asked him if, after his 'fatigue, he felt himself equal to joining a party at breakfast, to which L. 0. was invited. Lamb would have assented to go, but he complained of a chil blain on his heel, which rendered it necessary for him to slip his shoe down, which, he remarked, would he very un comfortable in passing through the snow, and would also be very unseemly in appearance; " but," said Lamb, " if yo u could accommodate me with an easy hoot, I might ma nage it." " Oh !" said his friend L. G., " that I will do," and after a short absence brought in a pair which suited very comfortably, and off they went to the breakfast. " Well," said L. C., on their return to his rooms, " how did you like the breaktlist ? What do yea think of my College friends ? arc they not pleasant inun-2"--" I liked them very much," said Lamb: " pleaant, chatty, clever ; good fellows ; but there was one of them, gentlemanly in his manners in other respects, and a sensible man, who. stared at me in so pointed a way during•the whole morn ing, nay kept his eyes so fixed upon ine,.that it was quite disagreeable, —quite vexatious."—" 'lon mean," said L. " a dark gent:eman, who sat opposite to yon."— " Yes :"—" And he stared at you very much, did he ?" —" 'Yes !"—" I should wonder if he hall not done so," said L. C. " How; so ?"—" Why, I introduced you as a gentleman who bad arrived from London by the night coach, and he was puzzled to think how you had c ome i n his boots !"—Centbrid ge Adverti ser . PROTECTION OF THE DOCKYARDS FROM FIRE.—OFFICIAL INQUIIIy BY Tag LORDS OF THE AD- DintALTY. - In consequence of the destructive fire in Devonport Dockyard, a strict inquiry has been made into the means for preventing fire at the other dockyards in the kingdom. Mr. Braidwood, of the London Fire Establishment, has been engaged in the investigation, which has proved that the means of prevention are generally very deficient. The inquiry has been devoted to the establishments at Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, and Portsmouth, but those at Plymouth and Pembroke have not yet been visited. The first inquiry was addressed to Woolwich, subsequent to the fire which occurred there, and we understand that, although nearly twenty engines were in the dockyard, they were very clumsy andinefficient for the purpose. Mr. Braidwood's next visit was to Sheerness, where the place was found badly protected, as the only supply of water that could be obtained was from the docks and quay. The engines were in gotxl, condition, but from this • circumstance could not be made available on an emer gency for the protection of the dockyard as well as the town of Sheerness, and it was suggested by Mr. Braid wood that waterworks should be raised on an eminence in the neighbourhood in order to combat any fire which might take place. The next place visited was Chatham, which it is well known is one of the most valuable and venerable dock-yards. Here there was an extraordi nary want of protection, for although there was a steam -engine which it was said would , extinguish any fire, it was ascertained that this could not be the case : the en gine was proved to possess n o more p ower t h an an ordi nary engine, and, being at a remote part of the dock yard, would •be of little use. It was also suggested that water should be obtained from an eminence, and several places on the -line were pointed o u t as su i ta bl e to t h e purpos e . At Portsmouth the means of protection were found to be very superior, and immediate assistance was near at hand both from the garrison and ships in the harbour. Two large iron floating fire- engines, of the same power and magnitude as that of the fire brigade at Southwark -bridge have just been completed for some of the Hull dockyards and are now_ to be seen on the south side of Blacktriarslbridge.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 29.—T4 Driver steamer was un docked at Woolwich, on Thursday, having repaired the damages she sustained in getting ashore on the Yorkshire coast, and the Volcano, steamer, was taken into dock. The Firebrand, Lightning, and Shearwator, steamers, were ordered to be in readiness at Greenwich on the 4th Feb, to take the King of Prussia and suite to Ostend. The Ringdove, 16, was commissioned this afternoon by Sir William Daniel. The Hastings, 72, Captain J. Lawrence, C. 8., will be paid off on Thursday next, into ordinary, as her decks require to be new laid • most probably suc h fittings as can be rem ove d w ill be shifted to th e Edi n b urg h, 72, which ship is likely to be commissioned for Sir T. Coch rane's Flag. The marines of the Hastings will be sent to Woolwich in the .Alban steamer, now on her passage here for them. It is due to the officers and men of the Hastings to say, that few ships have been mustered on their return home, which present so perfect a picture .of what a man of war ought to be, as she does. She is equally a credit to the Captain, and a pride to the seamen and marines. The Wolverine, 16, Commander J o h nson , h a d t h e ho nour of being the only English man-of-war that sa luted his Majesty of Prussia. She had scarcely had ten working days since she was commissioned, but by great exertions, she got to the Nore in time to compliment his Majesty on Saturday morning last. Capt. Johnson went on boa r d, an d state d that Vice-Admiral Sir Ed ward Brace was coming out of Sheerness, in the Growler, to pay his respects; but it being deemed ad visable not to lose the flood tide up the River the Fire brand did not wait. The Wolverine was yesterday in the Downs, and may be expected at Spithead hourly, with Mr. Brown, second Master Attendant of this Yard, Lieut. Boyd, and 22 riggers, which she took out of the Lively, Dockyard vessel. A Dock-yard vessel has been sent to look for the mined-mast of the Vindictive, which was cut away. An expedition left Demerara in October last, consist ing of 300 troops, under Colonel Buck, to destroy a fort which it was said the Brazilian Government had erected within the British territory.

IlAbinunon, JAN. 25.—We learn from Copenhagen that some rioting took lilac: in that city on the 18th and 20th, in consequence of the trial and condemnation of M. Lehmann, who was prosecuted for having endea voured, in a speech made by him: at a meeting of elec tors of the 18th district, to excite hatred and dissatis faction at the Constitution of Denmark. He was sen tenced to pay five hundred dollars to the fund of the poor at Copenhagen, and all the costs, and to three months' imprisonment. He was conveyed to prison on the 21st, when a notice was issued by the police warning the people against taking any part in tumultuous assemblages. It does not appear, from the accounts, that the populace did anything but ma k e a great noise, and assembled in considerable num ' ben, vociferating "Lehmann for ever," even before the Royal Palace of Amalienburg. - By late accounts, to the 22d, in the evening, no fur ther disturbances had taken place.—Hamburgh Papers, Jan. 25. The Cologne Gazette has a letter from Berlin, dated Jan. 21, which says—" It is uncertain on what day the King will return ; his intention was to leave England on the 3d of February, and to be at Berlin on the 9th, but it it is probable that his Majesty . may be induced to ac cede to the wish of Queen Victoria, to be present at the opening of Parliament and the first sitting, in which case his Majesty will not set out on his return till the Bth, and be at Berlin on the 15th."

This was an action brought by the plaintiff; who had been a sailor on board the Surprise, a vessel trading . to the South Sea, to. obt a i n d amages from the defendant for flogging him in the island of Java. The same plain tiff had also brought an action against a person named Bennett, the owner of the vessel. Both causes were set down to be tried at Croydon ; and the plaintiff having been nonsuited in the action against Bennett, that against Smith was withdrawn for that time. A rule for the costs in the latter action was also obtained. _ _ Mr. JAMES now showed cause against the rule. It appeared the consent to withdraw the action against Smith was obtained in consideration of the permission granted by the plaintiff to defendant to examine wit nesses in the action, who were about to proceed to Java, whither a commission should be sent, if such per mission was not granted. Under these circumstances, it • could not be evected that the costs would be given. It was not intended, that the action should be held in ter rortm over the plaintiff, and they would undertake to go to trial as soon as possible. • Mr. lIAusE appeared for the defendant, but no oppo sition was given. —Rule discharged. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—" The Dublin election is over satis factorily," is the form in which the Times of this morning announces the` fact " big with the fate" of its party, that Mr. Gregory has been declared by the partisan Sheriffs of Dublin duly elected • to servd in 'Parliament as one of the representatives of that . city. The "satisfaction" which the Times professes to de rive from this result, will, we apprehend, be of very short duration. The pleasing error will not be allowed to cheat the minds of the Tories many days after the meeting of Parliainent. The en quiry which must be instituted by the House of Commons into the unfair and illegal practices by which this mere colourable majority and prede termined return ofthe Tory candidate have been achieved, will lay bare the foul conspiracy which has been- formed against the electoral rights of the people. The agents of that conspiracy will scarcely escape the just vengeance of the law ; the Go vernment for which, and .under whose special patronage, their operations were conducted, will certainly be subjected to the condemnation and consequent diminution of public respect and c - mfidence, divested of which no Government can long exist in this country. We have in former articles on this. contest laid before our readers the shameless manner in which Lord De Grey has identified the Crown with the Tory party. The haste—indicative ofth e anxiety with which his Excellency looked for the arrival of a Tory candi date—with which, immediately on his arrival, Mr. Gregory proceeded to the Castle—the enter tainment prepared for him and his chief support ers at the Vice-Regal table—the association of Lord Jocelyn, the High Steward of the Household, with the canvassing parties—these, and numerous other modes of expressing the deep interest which "the highest functionary in the land" took in the contest, tended to c on fi rm t h e announcement of the Government Journals, that Lord De Grey had " ratified" the choice of the Tories ; and that, brought forward under such high auspices, Mr. Gregory's return was secure! Lord De Grey must be called upon to answer in the House of Commons, through 'his Secretary, Lon Eliot, for what a pp ears to us, and mus. appear to all who respect the Constitu tion, and call to mind the jealousy with which it has provided against the interposition of the Crown in the choice of representatives of the people —as nothing short of a bold and daring attempt to bias and control the proceedings of an election; and thus to stifle the public voice, when that voice was likely to express an opinion unfavourable to the party with which the Lord Lieutenant, the representative of the Sovereign, thought proper, personally and officially, to identify himself. STANDARD.--It has been complained that the. Lord Lieutenant ostentatiously interested himself for the Conservative candidate. This is not true; and it is not even pretended that Lord De Grey carried his favour towards Mr. Gregory to any illegal or unconstitutional extent. But be this as it may, however Lord De Grey may have acted, the best judges of his Lordship's conduct, the parties on the spot, the electors and the mass of the people approved it. The first have returned Lord De. Grey's favourite, the others have rested satisfied with the conduct of the Government in the election: We do not wish to underrate the value of the victory _a Conservative triumph, or to detract from the merit of the ad mirable Conservatives of Dublin; but it would be unjust to the cause of good government -in Ireland not to acknoWledge the event of the late contest as something much more and much better than a party triumph ; it is a testimony to the facility with which Ireland may be go- . verned, if only governed as she is now go verned, but as she has never been, save at brief intervals, within the last fifty years. Here is in contestable proof that if the Irish people are suf fered by their rulers to rest, if' they are not tor mented by officious conciliations and promises of change never to be effected, or to be effected at some remote period—if, in short, they are de fended from incendiariesand projectors, they will not be insensible to the blessings of repose, and of a firm and impartial administration of the law, with out which repose is impossible to any people. Dub lin surely may be taken as a fair sample of the island; or, if not a fair sample, the city, presided over by Mr. Daniel O'Connell, must be regarded as less than thvourable to the Conservative side. Yet we see with how much case and how tran quilly ,Dublin has been Won. The organised Conservative bodies' did their work nobly, no doubt ; but the effect of Lord Be Grey's Govern ment had greatly lightened their task ; lightened it so greatly, as, to • hold out a hope, almost amounting to certainty, that future Conservative victories will be almost universal in Ir e l an d , an d what is a prospeet infinitely more gratifying, that they will be obtained over almost unwilling op ponents. BAIL COURT, Jam 28. (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) PEEL AND ANOTHER V. HOWARD AND ANOTHER. Mr. GODSON, on the part . of Colonel Howard, the de fendant in the above cause, applied for a rule nisi to set aside an award of arbitration in this case, on the ground that th e ar bi trator had exceeded his power. It appeared that, Mr. William Yates Peel was the proprietor of certain mills, called the Alder Mills, situated on the river Tharne, in the neighbourhood of Tamworth, and that' Colonel Howard was the proprietor of certain islands and osier- beds higher up the river. These osier-beds had it was alleged increased to such an extent t h at they materially lessened the water-power of the mills. It had been agreed to refer the matter to arbitration, the arbitrator having the power to make experiments, and to order the removal of .any such parts of islands as had been newly formed. which might interfere 'with the water power of Alder Mills. Under this power the arbitratoi had proceeded to remove many islands entirely, which had existed before the memory of man ; others which had existed for years before Mr. Peel had pur chased Alder Mills, and one on which oaks were actually growing, which had been there for years. He there fore contended, that the arbitrator had exceeded his au thority, and on that ground prayed for a rule nisi. Rule nisi granted. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF MIDDLESEX. In this case, in which Mr.-.AumsoN had the other day obtained a rule nisi, calling upon the Justices of Middle sex to amend their return to a certiorari which had been obtained in the case of a man named Long, whose appeal against the decision of certain Justices refusing him a publican's licenc e , h a d b een di sm i ssed b y the Quarter Sessions, subject to a special case, all mention of which special case had been omitted in the return to the certiorari. The COURT, after hearing Mr. Bodkin on the other ide, directed the rule to be made absolute, and the spe ial case to be returned. COURT Op EXCHEQUER, Jan. 28. PARKES U. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action against the Company, for work and labour done, and for materials supplied, by contract. It appeared that the plaintiff contracted to supply stone, and make a raised way in the neigh bourhood of Compton (Barks), at 3s. 9d. per yard. The agents of the Company disapproved of the man ner in which the work was done, and made altera tions at an expence of 3d. per yard, informing the plaintiff from time to time that a correspondinc , deduc tion would be made. Ultimately the plaintiff refused to allow, the deduction,, and brought this action for the whole amount of the work done. The Jury found for him, in damages 57/. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS this day showed cause again& le rule, which, however, was made absolute, after hear. g Mr. Sergeant Ludlow in reply. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 111ANSIO2V-HOUSE. On Saturday an elderly man of respectable appear ce, named' John Hesken, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of Roe, the officer, charged by Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank of England, with having personated Robert Bamford, the elder, and trans ferred 1101. Long Annuities, standing in the names of Robert Bamford, sen., and James Berryman Tippett, on the 16th of May, 1840. Mr. Freshfield attended upon the part of the Bank of England, and Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, attended for the prisoner. Mr. Thomas Hall, of the Long Annuities Office in the Bank, stated that, on the 15th of May, 1840, the sum of 110/., which stood in the book in the joint names of itobert Bamford, the elder, and James Berryman Tip pett, was transferred to the name of Charles Clayser, Witness did not recollect the person of the prisoner, but the individual who made the transfer signed the book, which was accordingly produced. Mr. Timothy Surr stated that he was acquainted with the prisoner, and the prisoner's wife's family.

The inhabit an t s of the • City having at an early Lour ascertained that his Majesty was at the Ca thedral of St. Paul's, assembled in immense numbers n the streets, leading from that building to the Mansion musel to greet him, although there was a very general report that he had promised to lunch with the Duke of Sussex, at Kensington Palace. As his Majesty passed alonfr the multitudes cheered him most enthusiastically, and his Majesty returned the welcome in a cordial manner, that delighted all who saw him. • The carriage is which his Majesty and the Lord Mayor were conveyed to the Mansion-house was followed by that of the Duke of Cambridge, who evidently felt high gratification in visiting the City on such an occasion.

At a quarter-past twelve the Lady Mayoress was in formed that his Majesty was on his way from St. Paul's, and in a very few minutes the applause of the crowds in. the immediate vicinity of the Mansion-house, announced the King's arrival. The Sword-bearer and the Mace-bearer met his Ma jesty at the bottom of the steps leading to the public trance to the Mansion-house, and preceded his Majesty, the Lord Mayor, and the Duke of Cambridge, to the saloon, where the Lady Mayoress and Mrs. Fry were waiting to receive the King. -• His Majesty, upon being - introduced to the Lady Mayoress by thy Lord Mayor; expressed great satisfac tion at having the opportunity of forming an acquaint ance with her Ladyship; and upon perceiving Mrs. Fry, his Majesty said, in an earnest tone, which was heard by all present,"Ah, my dear friend, I am very, very happy, to see you. His Majesty then walked arm-in-arm with the Lady Mayoress into the drawing-room, followed by the Duk of Cambridge and Mrs. Fry, and_ the suite and embassy of the King of Prussia. About ten minutes, or a quarter of an hour, after the arrival of his Majesty, the ddeuner - .vas announced, and the company prceeeded from the drawing-room to the splendid (lining-room immediately opposite to it, called the Long Parlour, which was lighted up with gas, and decorated. The tables were covered with a collation, consisting of all the delicaCies which could, at such a time, be produced, and of first-rate Burgundy, - Madeira, sherry, claret, and other wines, selected by the judg ment of Mr. Robinson, the Lord Mayor's steward, ivho has long been celebrated, for his discrimination in such matters.

Amen." It is proper to observe, that the dejeuner was all cold, with the exception of the soup ; that no toast was pro posed ; that every parade was excluded, and that his Majesty expressed at the table, to Mrs. Fry, his extreme delight at the manner in which the whole was conducted. At a little after two o'clock, his Majesty took leave of the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress in a very gracious and affectionate manner, and was conducted to his car riage by the Lord Mayor, amidst the acclamations of the thousands who were waiting outside to welcome 'again and again the illustrious stranger.
