NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ALSUR ANCE SOCIETY, From the inquiries which we made on the spot, we obtained the subjoined particulars, the chief of which may be relied on as correct; but, o f course, as the examination befbre the Magis trates was a private one, we cannot furnish our readers with copies of the depositions. The par ties implicated in the robbery and murder are, as far as is yet known, the two prisoners, Bonsai! and Bland, and a man.(who has since absconded) named Starbuck, alias Holmes. The latter per son is a travelling . chimney-s wee p, and has fre quently been employed in that capacity at Miss Goddard's. This.man, together with another named Domino, with a n alias (a tinker by trade), lodged in a notorious rookery at Heage, and it appears cohabited with, or are married to, women ofthe same class as themselves; - and it was through these women, in the first instance, that informa tion of the real murderers was conveyed. The same parties speak also to the two former rob beries at Miss Goddard's being committed by the same men.

The following is the erroneous statement : " The Review was subsequently purchased by Sir William Molesworth, and united to the Lon don Review, conducted by Mr. John Mill, and assisted by Mr. J. Robertson, as literary editor." Short as this sentence is its mistakes are seve ral. I never was in any way concerned in the management of the London Review. At the union of the London and Westminster Reviews I was not connected with either, except as a contributor of a single article to the former. Sir William Molesworth was only the proprietor of a single Number during my editorship. When I had the honour of conducting the London and Westminster Review the distinction made by Mr. Bentham between what he characteristically called—the half consecrated to morals, and the half left for literary insignificances between the political part and flowery part, was not kept up. I became sole editor of the London and West minster Review in February,lB37, and continued in this relation to it until it was placed in the handg' of its present proprietor and editor, in April, 1840. With the exception of tile Number for July, 1837, the proprietor, during the whole period of my editorship, was Mr. John Mill. This statement is necessary to prevent merits, faults, opinions, and objects, not mine, from being ascribed to me. My successor is making laudable efforts to abolish the anonymous in criticism, not the least of the evils of which is that it is every now and then destroyed on mis• taken information, and literary men are saddled with positions, productions, and responsibilities not their own. _ ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, The COLOSSAL ELECTRICAL MACHINE, ex hibiting the varied and beautiful Phenomena of ELECTRIC LIGHT, the AURORA BOREALIS, &c. &c. is shown Daily at Three o'clock, and at Eight in the Evenings.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Secretary. On Saturday evening, during a conversation between Domino, Holmes, and their two women, the subject of the murder was introduced; and knowing that Holmes (the.sweep) had been con nected with the foymer robberies (the fruits of which were shared among; a. lo_t of pals), Domino intimated his suspicions of the guilt of Holmes. To this, at first, he made no reply ; and Domino (who, if he had not been connected with any of his expeditions, had been specifically invited to join Holmes in one of the robberies at Miss Goddard's) immediately said, " Why, thou showest guilt." He subsequently confessed that he, Bonsall, and Bland were the parties, but that he had nothing to with the murder, with which he particularly charged Bonsall. In con sequence of this, Domino and his woman com municated with Hawkins, the constable, and Bonsai' and Bland were taken into custody ; Holmes having made his escape to Leek (it was thought) whither Hawkins, accompanied by Domino, has pursued him. A variety of articles were found in Bonsall's house, some of which • SCOTTISH UNION FIRE AND LIFE IN SURANCE COMPANY, Instituted 1824, and incorporated by Royal Charter.

THE RHEUMATISM CUR ED FOR A SHILLING. HENRY'S MAGIC PILLS, for the cure of the GOUT, ',RHEUMATIC GOUT, RHEUMATISM, and all Rheumatic Affections. This most extraordinary Medicine, which I now offer to the public, is decidedly the most convenient, safe, and expeditious remedy in the world for the cure of the Gout, Rheumatic Gout. Rheumatism, - and, indeed, for all Rheumatic Affections, under the various names of Face-ache, Tic-Doloreux, Sciatica, Lumbago, &c. It contains neither Mercury, Antimony, nor any other noxious substance . ; relieves a fit of the Gout or Rheumatism in an hour or two; gives soothing and refreshing sleep ; and, in Many cases, I have known patients walk well and easy in less than twenty-four hours. I have no doubt there are hundreds of cases where poor fami- Ilea have been deprived of many of the necessaries of life by this cruel disorder. It is true there are several excellent reme dies for Gout and Rheumatism ; but the prices the proprietors have chosen to affix to each is (to the class of persons now ander consideration) as complete a barrier to their use as if nothing of the sort was in existence.—lt is my intention, therefore, as it has pleased the Divine Will, that I s h ou ld be Placed in a situation above worldly want, to offer this Remedy at to low a price, as to meet the means of the class of my fel low creatures who stand most in need of our attention. I have also laid aside a portion of my private fortune, for the Purpohe of bringing this medicine before th e pu bli c; an d should I s ucceed in benefiting mankind, without any very large call upon the inheritance of my family, I shall be amply paid by the satisfaction of having contributed in some degree to the comfort of a class—much needing the sympathy of the wealthy and the humane.

Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the G t h J u l y l ast , to the Editor of the "Times:"— "Sir,-1 think it a duty I owe to the publis to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some • months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender mess of joist I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and edematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which • attended frora the allele to the leg, thigh, back, and to the • erns, Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and 111 Y medical friends in the country could suggest, to no Purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con '. mating Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—the' to adopt sea bathing. lity accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, *ha applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since.

THE NABOB AT HOME.—This novel promises to afford no less amusement to those of our countrymen and women who have closed their career in India, and are enjoying its results "at home," than of valuable and difficult to be procured information to those who are looking to that country as the are na of their fu ture struggle for fortune or fame. Its writer is said tobe more intimately familiar with " Life in India" than perhaps any one among those who have hitherto employed their pens on this fertile and entertaining. topic ; and the liv e ly m ode he has adopted of convey ing to the reader the results of his observation, proves that he is not behind the spirit of his age—when people will not accept even the information they most need, unless it b e conveye d t o th em in the form of en tertainment. The great variety of individual cha racter introduced into this novel, and the singular and eccentric phases of ch arac t er th a t are impressed by a life passed in India, promise for this work a lasting popularity. The following is a summary of the Report on the reference to consider the 26th standing order, and to report whether any and what appointments should be excepted from its operation :—" We, your Committee, to whom on the 11th of May it was referred to con sider the 26th standing order, viz.—That no person, not having been admitted to the freedom of this city two years, except entitled thereto by servitude or pa trimony, shall be elected to any place or appointment of emolument in the gift of - this Court, or of any Committee or Commission chosen by them; and to report our opinion—do certify that we have been at tended by Mr. R. Taylor, the mover of the reference, and after hearing him, we referred the matter to a Sub-Committee for consideration, who have reported to us that they had duly proceeded therein, and it appeared to them—' That if the said standing orders be strictly adhered to, the choice of the Court would be considerably circumscribed in elections to clerical and educational appointments and profes sorships, as well as to some highly important offices held by barristers-at-law, and the offices of Town- Clerk, and Secondary, and Surveyor, by reason of the improbability of a sufficient number of talented per sons who have been freemen of this city two years, and who are members of the professions, being thund, to afford a due and proper choice in those elections.' That in order, for the future, to guard against the foregoing inconvenience, and that a fixed principle in election of officers may be as far as possible adopted and maintained by the Court, it was the opinion of the Sub-Committee that the standing order be amended by the addition of the following words, viz. But that this regulation shall not extend to cleri cal nor educational appointments and professorships, nor to offices to be filled by barristers-at-law, nor to the offices of Town-Clerk or Secondary, nor to the offices of Clerk of the City's Works, the Commissioner of the City Police, nor the Clerk of the Works of the Thames Navigation ; bat that all candidates for these appointments shall be required to be free at the time of election and we, agreeing with the Sub-Com mittee on their Report, submit the same to the judg ment of the Court.

FUNERAL OF THE MARQUIS WELLESLEY. The mortal remains of the late Marquis Wellesley were removed vesterday from Kingston House, Knightsbridge, to Eton College. Notwithstanding the early hour (six o'clock) at which the funeral took place, a great number of persons had assembled to witness the solemn spectacle, many of whom followed as far as Kensington. The funeral was in every sense of the word strictly private, the noble relations of the deceased Marquis did not follow, but his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Wellington, Earls of Morning ton and Westmoreland, the Marquis of Douro, Lord Lyndhurst, the Rev. Mr. Wellesley, and Sir R. Peel, will join the procession at the entrance of the College. At half-past seven o'clock the remains of the de ceased Nobleman, inclosed in three coffins, were placed in the hearse ; the inner coffin, which contains the body, is made of oak, and lined throughout with white satin, the middle one is of lead of extraordinary thickness, and the outer, or state coffin, is manufac tured of the best Spanish mahogany, covered with rich crimson Genoa velvet, thickly studded with gilt nails, gilt handles and ornaments ; at the head of the coffin is a coronet, and on each side are the armorial hearings of the house of Wellesley and Mornington ; the plate bears the following inscription—" Richard Colley Wellesley, Marquis Wellesley, K.G., &c., &c., born 20th June, 1760, died 26th September, 1842, in the 83d year of his age." The pall has the arms of the deceased nobleman richly emblazoned on each side. The funeral procession passed through Colnbrook and Slough, direct to Eton, where it was joined by the noble relatives and immediate friends of the deceased, who accompanied it to the Election-hall, where the remains lay in state last evening, and to-day will be deposited in the vault in which Dr. Goodall reposes. No person will be admitted except the relatives and friends of the deceased, and the authorities and students of the College. IRELAN D. FUNERAL OF SIR MICHAEL O'LOGHLEN. This morning, at nine o'clock, the remains of the late lamented Master of the Rolls arrived in town from Liverpool, by the Queen Victoria steamer, and were conveyed to the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Chapel, in Marlborough-street, where they remained until twelve o'clock, at which hour the funeral ser vice was celebrated by the Most Rev. Dr. Murray, assisted by a considerable number of clergymen. After the celebration of the funeral service, the coffin containing the mortal remains of the deceased was brought forth, and deposited in the hearse which was to convey them to the family burial-place in the county Clare. The chief mourners were Sir Cole man O'Loghlen, Bart. ; Hugh O'Loghlen, Esq. (sons of the deceased); Hewit Bridgman, Esq., M.P.; and C. Burke, Esq. The pall-bearers were—The Right lion. D. Pigot, M.P. ; Sir John Power, Bart. ; D. Plunket, Alexander M'Donnell, C. Fitzsimon, John Perrin, Pierce Mahony, %V. Murphy, Darby, A. C. O'Dwyer, E. Tandy, M. Staunton, J. R. Cor ballis, N. P. O'Gorman, J. Hatchell, Q.C., T. Hut ton, Esqrs. ; Ald. Roe, Dr. Colley, and Dr. King. The carriages formed a line of probably a mile in length, among which were those of Lord Plunket, the Lord Mayor, Judge Perrin, Judge Burton, Chief Baron Brady, and Baron Richards ; James Power, M.P., Edward Lucas, Esq., Under Secretary ; the Right Honourable 'l'. B. Kennedy, Colonel Brown rigg, the Attorney-General (Mr. Blackburne), the Solicitor-General (Mr.T. B. Smith), Sergeant Greene, Abraham Brewster, Esq., Q.C. ; Rich. Keating, Esq,. Q.C. ; Colonel M'Gregor, and a considerable number of the members of the Bar, and the solicitors of every shade of politics. Shortly before one o'clock the funeral procession moved off, passing through Sackville-street, West moreland-street, Dame-street, and in a line to the Naas-road, on its way to the county Clare. THE MURDER AT DERBY. (From the Second Edition of the Derby and Chesterfield Reporter.) CAPTURE OF THE MURDERERS. FOUB O'CLOCK, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—We have just'returned from Stanley, where two men, Samuel Bonsai' (or Bonser) and William Bland (of Heage) ; have been examined before Sir Henry Wiltnot, Bart., and John Radford, Esq., on the charge of being implicated in the murder of Miss Goddard. They were taken into custody at Heage, on Tuesday evening, and on Wednes day were taken before John Radford and Jede diah Strutt, Esqrs., at Belper, when they were remanded till to-day, and this morning were con veyed to Stanley. On arriving at Stanley we found a large con course of people assembled in front of the inn where the supposed murderers were in custody, and the little village was quite in a commotion. The conduct of the two prisoners was very dissi milar. Bonser (who is a collier, apparently an active man of about 32 or 33 years of age, and dressed in fustian trowsers and jacket), conducted' himself with great sang . froid, and frequently laughed, attempting a display of innocence and quietude to which his varying colour and forced demeanour gave a strong contradiction. Bland (who was dressed in a blue smock-frock) was very silent and thoughtful ; and his conduct pre have been identified as Miss Goddard's property, and upon some unbleached calico there were marks of blood. _ _ _ The wife of Bland (who bad an infant at her breast) and her mother, were in attendance at Stanley. The scene was most distressing. Mrs. Bland freely acknowledged that her husband ad mitted to her a few minutes before he was taken into custody, that he was one of the party, but he denied having any connection with the mur der, stating that he heard the cries of Miss God dard " to spare her life." and was grieved when lie knew what had taken place. He told her that Holmes (the sweep) struck the first blow, and. and that Bonsall followed it up. She also states that about seven o'clock on the night of the mur der Bonsall called at their house, and he and her husband went away together. On being taken before the Magistrates, Bland stated that he was innocent of the capital charge, and at the proper time would tell all. Bonsall endeavoured to be collected,but his face changed colour repeatedly, and on being taken to Miss Goddard's the alteration was very palpable. Miss Sarah Goddard (the surviving sister) iden tified Bonsall as the man who " looked stern and savage at her," and " shook his fist ;" she also distinctly stated that he was the man who knocked her down, and afterwards beat her with a jemmy (an iron instrument). She said she had never seen Bland befbre, and this fact is cer tainly corroborative of his wife's statement. Miss Goddard inquired anxiously " for the other man."—she wanted to see " the other man ;" and we understand for the last day or two she has talked frequently about " a sweep." The conjecture is, that the deceased Miss Goddard identified " the sweep " when in her room, and that was the reason why he (or they) murdered her. But this, of course, is merely conjecture. In a day or two no doubt all the facts will be disclosed. ingd Miss Sarah Goddard was , and a girl who in the house on the afternoon p rece the murder, identified an apron f oun d i n Bonsall's house as the one which the dec ease d wore o n that very day. The parties w ere aga i n r e man ded until to morrow, and were sent to Derby 43a01. In taking them through the village, the yells from the crowd were terrific, and several attempts were since h b a e d fo r u e n made to seize Bon sa i!, w h o wou ld ce rtainly have c h i t: , t me i s who his appearance demeanour wet with rough treat ment had h e not been pro h tected by the officers. H e at t e mpted to laugh, undergone rah Goddard. "Bland' s d emeanour was much - ihe same as at first, though he was consid erabl y moved when he encountered his weeping wi f e. • We hope to be able to announce the capture of Holmes shortly. OTHER BURGLARIES AT DER BY ' Between twelve and one o'clock on Wednes day morning, the 28th ult. the house of Mr. Hinkley, farmer, of " the Asil," between Etw al l and Sutton-on-the-Hill , i n this coun ty, was en tered by three dari ng v il lains, who go t through the cellar grate. M rs Hinklev hearing some ' onein the house, g o t out of bed and went to the room door, and, Convinced that some one was on the other side, ca ll ed out " w h o ' s there? what do you want ?" Af ter the l aps e of a mo mentathe door was f orced open, an d a m an en- . tered the room arm e d w i th two p istols, one of which he presented at Mrs. H., telling her that " if she did not get into bed again, he would blow her brains out." He then followed her to the bed, in which were Mr. Hinckley and il little boy, where he remained holding a pistol in one hand and a candle in the other, whilst two other men forced open the drawers, &c., with jemmies. From a desk they took about 28s. in silver and a security for 2001. at Messrs. Smiths' bank. Not finding what they wanted so readily, the armed ruffians demanded to know "where their money was—they had more in the house—money they wanted, and money they must have." Mrs. H. persisted that they had no more—that they paid their men weekly, and that they had not sold their cheese. After this the thieves made their retreat. One of the burglars wore a mask. There was in the desk from which they took the 285., money to the amount of 701., which fortu nately they did not discover, There were in the house two nieces and the m o th er o f M rs . H., b u t none of them dare offer resistance. We should have stated that the villains also stole a silver watch, maker's name John H u dd on, N o . 1,881, with brass seal and two keys attached with a black ribbon. They effected an . entrance by taking a pane of glass from the back window. Last night week' (being the . fair night), a dar pearance 911te, Derby.

' Shor tly afterwards they went away, one of them s a ying "You'll tell Mr. _ that Mr. Taylor has beenand c ou ld n dt s tay any longer ;" and again turning he said L" be sure and remember the name—M r. Taylor." On going up stairs, about eleven o'clock the door and window of the servant's. roomwere found wide open, and on further examination it was discovered that a chest of drawers had been forced open, apparently with a chisel, from one of which was taken a purse containing a 51. Bank of England note, about six sovereigns, and a quantity asilver—amounting in the whole to about 12/. Two other purses and the contents of the drawers were thrown out on the t o p o f t h e chest. In every room partially burnt lucifer matches were found. .............___ ; ____ iii __ : ________„-_- INCOME-TAX.—In the -to __ w er Hamlets, and, it is presumed, in other districts, parti es w h ose incomes are under 150/. have claimed, and, a f ter examination exemption from this byth e e hi C ef om o m f Commissioners nebeensuaffillocli vweenidtthl,yin perfect, and the last few days, however, fresh instructions have been f orwar d e d to the Commissioners, to the effect that the directions previously issued were not blessings: or dering that all persons who have been exempted shall undergo are •examination of a more searching cha racter—another proof o f the superiority of Tory over Whig management, and a proceeding which must tend wonderfully to po p . larise the . ne , iv tax, even with parties who may not enrY the privilege of paying it.

PRICE OF SUGAR.

THE WOOL TRADE. By no rules that we have heard from our fore • fathers, nor by any previous experience of our own, can we account for the present state of the English wool trade, which now appears to be practically moving in a direction contrary to all received theory. When, some three or four years ago, the Bank of England was almost drained of bullion, and the cir culation of money was considerably curtailed, wool stood as high as 18d. per lb. ; but now, while the Bank is overwhelmed with gold, and money may be obtained at the very low rate of '2 per cent. interest, wool stands as low as 9id. to 10d. per lb., and without any visible change of improvement. We are compelled, then, to seek some other cause which must be affecting prices ; and, although there may be many more rea sons stated, yet we think the grand cause is to be found in the increased production of wool, without a cor responding increase in its consumption; and as long as the importation of wool from our colonies continues to find favour in the market, and to increase lin the same proportion as it has done for several years past, we apprehend it will be in vain to look for any great improvement in the value of English wool, unless the expansion of our trade with China, or other countries, should induce a larger demand for woollen goods of British manufacture. We are compelled to quote still lower prices. d. d. Long Combing Fleece in Yolk 51 to 61 Ditto washed Dorset Horns Ditto Down Ewe and Lamb Tegs 10 to 10i —Sherborne Journal. [As no alteration has been made in the duties on wool by the tariff, Sir R. Peel can neither be praised by the manufacturers nor blamed by the flock mas ters for the reduction in the price of wool. It occurs, which is perhaps the most singular part of the matter, in conjunction with a great failure in the wool crop in Germany, and a considerable rise in price there. In fact, what formerly happened as to sugar is now happening as to wool. A few years ago the English colonies produced more sugar than could be con sumed in England, and the surplus being sold on the Continent at continental prices, beat down the price of sugar here to its price abroad. Our colonies now produce more wool than we consume, and it having to seek a vent abroad, the price of wool at home is determined by its price in the continental markets. Our wool growers, therefore, are not likely to get higher than continental prices for wool which they produce under En g li s h c h arges. This 4 partly the consequence of a di m i n i s h e d demand A/1* otir woollen manufacture,, which is aga i n oaused by the Corn laws shutting out American flour. The abolition of those laws, and perfoot free trade, would reduce the farmers' charges to the charges borne b the conti nental farmers, and i ncrease t h e demand for wool by extending the woollen manufacture. Honesty, let us tell the farmers again and again, is, after all, the only policy.—ED. &m.] • s' • • ,HOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday evening an in quest was held at the London Hospital, on the body of Hannah Cleary, A girl about five years of age, whose death was oceasioneclliy filling from a window on the second flow of the house No. 7, Brick-lane, St. Gearirea in the East. It appeared, from the evidence of the deceased's mother, that, abbut two o'clock in the afternoon, the little girl was leaning with her back towards the WIWWW, outside of which some wooden bars hid been placed for the protection of the younger ehlldren, when the upper bar gave way, and she fell out through the window,_ turning over once or twice in the descent, and pitching on the ground upon Ler head. Mrs. Cleary stated that she had warned the deceased to oome away from the window a few minutes before the accident, and while going towards the fire-place she heard a scream, and then saw her fall. She was quite dead when brought into the hos pital. Verdict—Accidental death.

"- GLOBE.--The Herald does most potently re mind us of Manse Headrigg, who had no opinion of human devices in threshing and winnowing v co id r e n n , c ad was e n woul for dsen t d ru o s n tin ti g to the ieshi spieling g id t hi l l i .l a . t , " Pro 61`u` Church,' we e w e e sta a h r l e ish to ed ld p , ra , y w e e r r s e an f d ra t m ha e n d ks b g7i ni ng e s ri of w the ha thought cheap food a blessing to the nation.' They dearth' were earth m , men, were reply, we- a`just ho s u ff t e h r o i n u g gb f t o r th o at ur ' s i cr iniquity'--tea q c u l i t t y y and punishment for our sins with adversity ; they were men who thought the supplication of the Divine mercy and goodness was the only sure and holy mean's of rot lief, and that • cheapness and plenty were in His hands, who for our benefit temporarily afflict us with dearth and scarcity-.' These are thou,Ots wholly unknown to the Chronicle and its patroro— unfortunately too much unknown by the generality of mankind in these days—when human agency is' openly regarded as the best means of controlling God's blessed will and ordinances." Here is the Spirit of the East with a witness ! Prayer, not precaution, is the way to secure plenty. Human agency is not to be regarded as the means to human ends. Why what stupid prac tical blasphemy is this ! What was our reason given us fbr ? Why were we endowed with any more forecast than the beasts that perish, or the wild Indians who perish too, when they have ?bade no winter-provision ? " The only sure and . holy means of relief" are the labours of our heads and hands. Prayer is no means of relief for outward ne cessities; it is only such Sinners Saved as thelate William Huntington, who pretend to expect material answers to all their supplications. Th a t notorious personage prayed for a pair of breeches on one occasion, which of course came, and be thereupon returned thanks to the Divine Being for not only having disposed the mind of the donor to give, but also instructed his fingers to cut, as he had never had a better fit in his life. These are the practical blasphemies which men are led into by this passive pietism. To regard " human agency" as oppOsed to God's " w ill and ordinances," is the worst practical blasphemy of all. Who made man capable of action ? What were his capacities of action and calculation given him for, but to be exercised with faith in the bless ing of Heaven on that exercise ? Qui laborat, orat. Provident efibrts imply faith in a higher Providence. They imply faith in that order established and sustained by a higher Provi dence. Man was meant to co-operate, as a free and rational agent, in that order—not, of course, excluding acts of devotion and thanksgiving to the Source of all good—but not mistaking those acts for " means of relief" from those out ward necessities for which God has given us heads and hands expressly that we may relieve ourselves. The Herald's doctrine of " the only sure and holy means of relief" would lead it, by very easy gradations, to promenade the image of one Saint to stop an epidemic, or liquefy the blood of another, to stop an eruption. STANDARD.—The Opposition journals have found what, were not the subject too sacred, we should call familiarly " a mare's nest," in the beautiful prayer appointed to be used in grati tude for the late bounteous harvest. These pious and orthodox critics have discovered that a new form of thanksgiving has been substituted for that to be found in the Liturgy, merely to get rid of the words cheapness and plenty contained in the latter. Now, the answer to this complaint of our Con temporaries is very short. Cheapness and plenty are the contraries of dearness and scarcity, and the form of thanksgiving in the Liturgy insisted upon, expressly refers to a previous condition of dearth and scarcity; but comparing the late year or two with preceding years, we have no evidence of either dearness or scarcity, though we have too painful proof of suffering from want of' employment. The prices 0f18417154'2, have not ranged materially higher than the average of preceding years, while the absence of scarcity is sufficiently attested by the clamour we have lately heard npon the unloading of the bonded warehouses. There has therefore been no dearth or scarcity in the direct and plain meaning of' the words, and to employ a form of address to the God of Truth affirming either, would be an irreverent levity., if not something more gravely impious. Th'ia goes to the substance of the question, hut the formal obstacle to the use of the thanksgiving io, the Liturgy is equally insurmountable. MONEY 114ARKET and CITY Nt,ll.'js, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YES7ERDAy . TDIES.—The proposition for limit'aig the hours of business, at the City banking-hottses to four instead of five o'clock, is the less liked the more it is considered by the trading community in general. Many per sons think the present limit sufficiently hard upon those, undoubtedly a numerous class, who require the greatest exertion up to the latest moment to provide for their acceptances, and sustain their credit; and. the agitation of this subject revives the discuss; Alt frequently raised in the City in periods of pectrAiary difficulty, whether, in point of fact, the adher,n ce by duced for' 'be legally the bankers to the hours p w a •l 3 l a. i ni e r h eenn e ta u o s te t ( oil b a le, like all sustained,tahnedremg.uhleatthiloern ofa they other debtors, to the consequences of a refusal to pay at whatever period of the day the demand may bb made. This is probably an erroneous notion, th e universal custom in this case acquiring the fore of law ; but it is nevertheless true, we believe, that it is not rigidly adhered to by the bankers in zene. ral, provided that the time is not materially en croached upon, and that some urgent necessity for the payment is shown to exist. In illustration of this part of the subject, an old and well known anecdote in the City is repeater'. of the conse quences of a too critical enforcemtmt of the rule by ono of the wealthiest banker. of that period. A , draught, of some importane'e to the holder, was pre sented as the clock wee striking five, and refused as out of time. The 'party who was proceeding on a journey to the Continent, and to whom the possession happenedapi a'sts to . be at of the inouPy was indisp ensa bl e , reported this r e f usa l, and the cause ass i gne d f or i t, to the merchant who t h h a e d hpeaaidd or r in n i e t a h r e l y draught, eanLondo dmtho n c instantly repaired i n p erson to the banking-house n in e question, and presenting a draught for the balance of his account, which he had previously drawn out, de mil)n,,auitAsdieoeadhtaii n odn s t st a tho n ep t pi p ie( a ,d y x.t m li e nt i o i x t rl , n, a l: n i g : . h hi on t .u h gu e hu t t h t ph r e re a up t da , ep i n f etr a r t : ftubpsaaeytdtt, the money, and the account was removed to another house on the day following. Another incident, also well known, is mentioned of a nobleman who presented a large draught at one of the banker's at the west-'end of the , town a few minutes before nine o'clock:, but was refused payment until the clock had 'struck. This, however, was of less conse quence, as th e d a y was all before him, and the utility even to ale publie of limiting the hour flat the commencement of busi ness is obvtoti,;,,.as many draughts fraudulently ob tained, or erroneously drawn, have been stopped by that limitation. Nor can any persons now complain of the long-established rule of ceasing pay at fill, to o'clock in the afternoon, which is so universally known that an instance could very rarely indeed occur of any person suffering by it, unless through his own fault. But a new limitation to four o'clock, • or even earlier, for innovation once begun, there is with the most serious who have been, • matter, th r, saying and wheremight v is at t t o end s ed to_p, is a very different consequences to a large class of persons engaged i n , to lend their sanction to this in represenntaetcitenr , th ong trade.On the whole,rofpornatitsne willand otherpe rresaeosvofeirtihse,de ibtianisn.kninlotta the Bank Directors, silaitkrnoenili)gd• thateltyrhsaptotre4odtheed e h as t u h: ; and tn interest which proved a ti e e r l dm to r any yo joint` 0 i remaining nt exist ra d i us adoption.

Thus one of the most valid objections to an alteration in banking hours will apply with nearly equal force to the Stock Exchange.
