DIONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The rates of discount still show a downward ten dency, and the inquiries at the Bank has been further diminished owing to the low rates upon which the mercantile community are enabled to obtain accommodation elsewhere. First class secu rities are negotiated in the open market as low as 2! per cent., and few are, therefore, disposed to go to the national establishment where the minimum is maintained at 31 per cent. A small quantity of gold, viz. £5,000, was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The Mooltan, which leaves to-morrow for Bom bay, will take out £8,750 in gold, and £230,280 in silver. No important alteration was exhibited in the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £339,000, and the exports £178,000. The traffic receipts on the South Austrian, Lom bardo-Venetian, and Central of Italy Railway, for the week ending the 14th inst., were £68,607 on 1,251 miles, against £51,882 at the corresponding period of 1860, when, however, only 917 miles were open, In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday the ilem'and continued active, and prices were well sup ported. The sales were estimated at 20,000 bales.

John Tiddy, a clerk in the firm of Messrs. Bleary, 20, Aldermanbury, warehouseman, said this morning, about ten o'clock, I was near the street door when I saw the pri soner leave the place with a largo parcel under his arm. I went after him, and he then threw the parcel in the road and run away. I came up with him and seized him, when he struggled very violently to get away. A policeman came up and he was secured and taken to the station-house. The parcel was found to contain 46 yards of fancy flannel, and was worth about £4. It had been taken off the counter. The flannel produced is the property of my employers. City police-constable 459 said he took the prisoner into custody. On searching him he found 2d. and a knife on his person.

OBTAINING} GOODS BY FRAUD.—Northen Gray, clerk, of 22 Bywater-street, Chelsea, was charged with stealing a carpet, of the value of £2, from No. 8, Burlington-street, there being other charges mentioned to be brought forward against him of obtaining goods by fraud. Mrs. Hannah Kirkman, in charge of the house, 8, Burlington-street, said the prisoner called and asked for a carpet about the sth October. She asked him why he did not bring Mr. Evendon, the owner with him, and the pri soner replied, "Oh it's all right, you know me." He took away the carpet. • Mr. Evendon, in charge of chambers, 57, Pall-mall, said the carpet was his property, and of the value of £2. He never authorised the prisoner to fetch it from Burlington street. On the sth of October he employed the prisoner to fetch away another carpet, but never told the prisoner to ‘fetch the other. Butcher, 137 C, said that on the previous night he went to prisoner's residence, and had to get into his room by means of a ladder, the prisoner refusing to let him in. He found the duplicate relating to the carpet ; and had other cases he should be able to bring against the prisoner—one of obtaining £36 worth of wine in the name of a gentleman residing at 35, Duke-street, St. James' s . Remanded. THAMES. STRANGB APPLICATION.—A middle aged woman Caßle before Mr. Selfe and said she wanted a summons against an artist named Niblett, of Charles-street, St. George-in the-East, for unlawfully and against her will taking a model of her arm. Mr. Selfe—How did he do that, my good woman ? The applicant baring her right arm, a plump and round one, said, " You see that arm:?" Mr. Selfe—Yes, what is the matter with it? The applicant—Well, sir, that arm ;;;;;sting on my pillow on Tuesday night last, and the f artist came into my bedroom and took a model of it. He brought a light with him, and he could not have finished it until the morning. He says it is worth £5 to him, and he has been abusing me ever since. Mr. Selfe—You must have slept very soundly to enable an artist to have taken a model of your arm. The applicant—Well, sir, I went to bed between eight and nine o'clock, and the artist began to take a model of my arm. Toprevent and worked at my needle until twelve o'clock. I laid down again,and he went on him with doing so, I got up at ten o'clock modelling. I f e lt I could dg his not move, and when he finished the model he said, " Now, my sleeping beauty, I have it, and you can't help yourself. It was only your elbow I wanted.” My husband was lying alongside of me, and I could not wake him. Mr. Selfe—That will do. I will send an officer to make inquiries about this. The applicant, who was evidently labouring under some delusion, though as calm es possible, left the court. A BATCH :OF BAD HUSBAND,. —James Hayes, a mechanic, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged under the Vagrant Act, with _leaving his wife and four young chil dren, and leaving them chargeable to the parish of St. George-in-the-East. Mr. Ralston, one of the relieving officers of the parish, produced a printed list of bad husbands who had deserted their wives and families. A reward of was offered for the apprehension of each. Mr. Ralston said the maintenance of deserted wives and chil dren were a great burthen. Upwards of 100 women and children abandoned by those who were legally and morally bound to maintain them were supported out of the pariah rates. The prisoner deserted his wife and family four months ago, and they had been maintained ever since at the expense of the parish. On a former occasion the prisoner deserted his wife and children and was brought before the Magistrate, and committed to prison for a month. For the Cambridgeshire Stakes there is but little change in the front division. 11 to 2in hundreds was taken a few times about Henham Lass ; and Asteroid, Confectioner, and Limeflower were very freely supported, especially the latter, about whom all the 10's to 1 that were offered were readily taken. Ivanhoff was in some request, but we did not see less than 25 to 1 booked. Mutineer came with a rush, but the limit to• day appeared to be 100 to 3, and there is every appearance of his seeing a less figure than that.

For that man must be made up of malice and venom Who won't find a sweet rhyme for the Lassie of Henham ; And his heart must be cold as the ice of Lake 'Wenham, Who feels no warm throb for the Lassie of Henham. A health to all lasses, may each of us ken 'em, And find them as kind as the Lassie of Henham. Rhymes trip up each other as fast as I pen 'em, On such a fair theme as the Lassie of Henham. But is there no danger ? Whilst paying our court A Rap on the knuckles may shorten our sport ; Or perhaps, by not carefully watching the premises, We may leave the back door peeping open for Nemesia. Too true—yet the danger I fear is a nearer one, And the favourite's backers may find it a dearer one. You may think him a mean-looking kitchen utensil, Yet don't make too recklessly free with your pencil ; Don't play, 1 implore you, the goose with the Gridiron; Will Day may yet make him as hot as a skid-iron ; • And, unless human eyes are addicted to lying, The Gridiron's fit—if the fish is worth frying. AUGUR—Sporting Life. In selecting half a-dozen as a lot against the field, I think the following most likely to furnish the winner : Asteroid, Confectioner, Henham. Lass, Tho Roe, Mutineer, and Limeflower. For reasons which I have stated Came rino is not included; therefore I must, in again reducing them, stand by my selections of October 9 Asteroid and The Roe. The only other I consider at all likely to defeat this pair is Limeflower, th© one recommended as the then best outsider in my last. ...z:4;Q= SPORTING PROPHETS ON THE " CAMBRIDGESHIRE." BEACON — Ben's Life. Either Confectioner or Gabrielle d'Efltrees will obtain the judge's fiat, and Fravola, The Roe, Paste, and Queen of the Vale will be their next attendants. TOUCHSTONE—The Era. In taking " lots against the field," our readers must not overlook either Queen of the Vale, Baron Munchausen, or Sporting Life, who are almost as formidable-looking on paper as Henham Lass, Limeflower, The Roe, Asteroid, Ivanhoff, Gabrielle d'Estrees, Confectioner, Mutineer, and Donner and Blitz, and render our task of selecting the winner more than usually difficult, for between the above dozen we scarcely know how to choose. However, the venture must be made, and we have an idea the winner will turn up in the following : Racing Indicator. This slip of paper, for which the public is charged half-a crown, only takes four horses to beat the field ; and, if betting men were to back the whole of them, they would be nothing in pocket. The writer says :—Taking everything into consideration, we shall not vary our previous selection of Benham Lass and the best of the French lot (Palestro or Gabrielle d'Estrees), expecting they will find their most formidable opponents in Limeflower and Ivanhoff. He was of the same age and standing as Lord Russell—the year of his birth being 1792. The de scendant of an ancient Scottish family, he was born at Netherby, and like many of the young Whigs, was educated at Westminster School. From there he went to Queen's College, Cambridge, and very speedily entered upon public life. Travelling for his pleasure abroad, he was induced to become Private Secretary to Lord Montgomerie, British Minister in Sicily, during the most critical period of the war. Lord Montgomerie became ill, and the entire management of the mission devolved upon him. The young man in this, his first taste of the real business of life, showed the stuff that was in him. He worked ten hours a day, so that when Lord William Bentinck returned to the Embassy, he, although previously unacquainted with Mr. Graham, requested him to retain the post. He per formed several important services in this capacity. To him has, indeed been assigned the praise of having conducted the negotiations which led to the separation of Murat from Napoleon ; but this, we believe, is an honour which more properly belongs to Lord Aberdeen. The war ended, he returned to England, and in 1818, after a most severe contest, ob tained a seat for Hull. At this time he was known as the Yorkshire Dandy, a title procured for him by his fine appearance, and by a style of speaking which seems to have been too studied and flowery. His watchwords on the occasion of the election were Parliamentary Reform, the Abolition of un necessary Places and Pensions, and the Suppression of the Slave Trade. The ideas conveyed in these words were not very acceptable in those days, and in 1820, at the election which ensued on the death of George 111., he lost his seat for Mull. Subse quently he became member for Carlisle, and took a high positioi in politics on the strength of his pamphlet on "Corn and Currency," in which, while insisting on the necessity of reducing taxes, he de clared for " the free importation of corn, with a moderate protective duty." His influence was so strong that in the Reform Ministry of Earl Grey he had an honour which his contemporary, Lord J. Russell, did not enjoy—a seat in the Cabinet. He was made First Lord of the Admiralty, and the men of Manchester refer to the expenditure of those days as the model for ours. In 1834 he seceded from the Whigs with 11r. Stanley, and gradually came round to the so. called " Derby Dilly " till be joined the party of Sir Robert Peel. He became Peel's righthand man. No orator could be more brilliant or telling than Lord Stanley, but Lord Stanley was too independent, and the Premier was glad to transplant him to the Upper House. On Graham he chiefly rested, and Graham was of the nature to give such a man as Peel a thorough-going support. In some respects, however, he was as much a weakness as a strength. He was most unpopular. The incident of opening certain letters in the Post office brought on his head a storm of public disap probation; and his haughty manner of dealing with the Scotch Kirk, which ended in the Disrup tion, made him hated with a most bitter hatred north of the Tweed. His strength lay in his power of work and power of argument. The celebrity of the Peelites for administrative ability was largely based on the effectiveness of Graham. After Peel's death, partly from constitutional timidity, partly from a desire for repose, he withdrew by degrees from the excitements of political warfare. His part was chiefly to turn the balance of party, to give the weight of his authority to his friends, and now and then to overwhelm his adver sary;with mild sneers or cutting compliments. He managed always to make the Tories excessively angry. No man roused Mr. Disraeli's or Lord Derby's resentment so much—a resentment most openly displayed. It was a proof of his power, but it may be doubted whether it was equally a proof of his wisdom. Sir James was not a farseeing man. He was a child of the hour. Indeed, on one occasion he characteristically defended the thesis that every thing was changing, and that it was the business of a politician to be somewhat of a weathercock. The late Sir James Robert George Graham was the eldest son of Sir James, the first baronet, by Lady Catherine Stewart, the eldest daughter of the seventh Earl of Gallcway, and was born on the Ist of June, 1792 ; consequently he was in his 70th year. He married in July 1819, Fanny Callender, youngest daughter of Sir James Campbell, of Ardinglass, by which lady, who died in 1857, he leaves issue Frederick Ulric (married to the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Somerset) and several sons. Among his daughters two are married, one to the Hon. E. Duneombe, and the other to Col. Baring. He is succeeded in the baronetcy and estates by his eldest son, Frederick Ulric, born April 2, 1820. The present baronet was attached to the Embassy at Vienna in 1842, and subsequently entered the Ist Life Guards. By the death of Sir James Graham the country has lost one 'who stood in the first rank of its politi cians. It is for the next age to say whether he deserves the title of statesman. The verdict in such a case is difficult to anticipate. The contemporaries of the deceased have, perhaps, been disposed to judge him hardly; Sir James Graham never attained the highest political honour—the post of Prime Mini ster ; and it is likely that at no period of his career would the popular feeling have ratified such a choice on the part of the Sovereign. The prominent mem ber of threo great Administrations, the Minister to whose judgment even Peel sometimes deferred, the able administrator and indefatigable man of busin eass had not the qualities which enable men to lead parties, to dictate the decisions of an assembly, Qr The wonder is that such a man should not have had greatness thrust upon him. Though an official rather of the Continental type, and wanting the warmth and impulse which make men great in England, he might at any time have been raised to the highest post, if not with the favour of the public, yet witt out any display of surprise. A poli tician who was in the Whig Cabinet of Lord Grey and in the Conservative Cabinet of Sir R. Peel, and who, again, formed the connecting link between the two sections of Lord Aberdeen's Cabinet in 1852, seems one who ought to have risen still higher. No man, with the exception of Lord Palmerston, had been brought into close intimacy with so many public men, or was the depositary of so un broken a chain of political tradition. For thirty years he has been the man whom " no Cabinet ought to be without ;" so steady and sensible was he, so acquainted with business, and so ready to condescend to minor work, and to play a small part in great affairs. That the possessor of these useful gifts should have passed away from official and almost from political life with hardly any notice on the part of his countrymen, and that his death should now be important chiefly as making a va cancy in the representation of the last of the many constituencies for which he sat, is a singular end of an accomplished politician. it is to be accounted for, we think, by the well-known habit of Sir James's mind, his instinctive timidity and irresolu tion when grave decisions had to be taken. This man, whom a portion of the public looked upon as the ideal of a wily politician, was in truth a very Hamlet when he had not some stronger nature to guide and to say " This must be done." He was more than once " master of the situation," and might have grasped power, at least for a term : but when the decisive moment came he seemed to lack courage to act up to the part, and the opportunity passed away. Even in administration this fault was appa rent, and it was the source of all the others with which he is charged. He would always be so very sure that he did nothing; or, as is often the case, waited to the last moment, and then, all in a hurry took the worst possible course. To blunder through fear of making a mistake, and then to affect a cyni cal disregard of all censures in hopes that his timidity might not be suspected, was a habit of mind which lay at the root of Sir James Graham's ill success. But,notwithstanding these drawbacks, Sir James Graham belonged to an order of politicians which, we trust, will never fail in this country. A man who with the means of living in ease and self-indulgence, braces his mind to encounter the toils of political life and the responsibilities of office, and does so encoun ter them during a long political life, must have qualities not everywhere to be found. There are many who begin the business of politics young, as they enter the army; but the great number of these, if possessed of wealth and station, are but amateurs in the pursuit, and shrink wearied after a few years of regular exertion. Few work at all, and hardly one works as Sir James Graham did. From 1818 to the day of his death, with the exception of a few years, ho has had a seat in Parliament, and till lately his voice has been heard continually. That during all that time he has been an able counsellor of the State, often wrong, but always zealous and painstaking, is enough to give him a place among those entitled to public gratitude. CARDINAL D'ANDREA'S LETTERS TO CARDINAL ANTONELLL No doubt now exists as to the discord at Rome. A blow even more serious than that given by Father Passaglia to the moral influence of the Papacy amongst the members of the Catholic com munion itself has just been struck by ono of the members of the Sacred College. Under the title, " The Roman Curia and the Jesuits," the publish ing house of Barbera of Florence has just given to the world two letters addressed to Cardinal Ante esecongead t o o Congregation the his Anto nelli by Cardinal d' Andrea, explaining the causes post why a s the Prefect second t h h inalf obliged Index. It appears that in a theological contro versy between the Bishop of Bruges and the Professors of the University of Louvaine the Congregatio n o f t h e Index, on the ques tion being referred to them, decided, by the votes of all the 16 members present, in favour of the pro fessors. But two Jesuit members refused to attend the deliberations, and the Jesuits are all-powerful at Rome. Contrary to the constitution of the Catholic Church, Pope Pius overruled the decision of the 16 members present, and gave validity to that of the two absent Jesuits. Cardinal d'Andrea, therefore, in his official character of Prefect of the Congrega tion of the Index, wrote to Cardinal Antonelli to express the impossibility of that body publishing stigmatising doctrines, which the whole 16 of its members present at the discussion approved of, and to know whether the influence of the Jesuits vir tually to overrule and override the laws and g of the Catholic Church.

OBSERVER—The Field. After sifting the running of each and all of the candidates I can come to no other conclusion than that the Cambridge shire will be carried off by either Henham Lass or The Roe and next to them I shall look for Asteroid and Confectioner. BREVITY — WeekIy limes, I boldly give the preference to Donner and Blitz, not withstanding his retrogression in the market, and Lime flower. SPHYNX—Sunday Times. This writer, in a letter, which nobody but himself under stands, says : My heart's in the Highlands, My heart is not here ; My heart's in the Highlands, Following the deer ; Chasing the wild deer and following THE ROE— and suddenly the voice stops. Is it a prophecy? Hark I it breaks forth again, that sweet voice, but not in song. It is in declamation now— When in the Cambridgeshire remember this, For every bettor there's a Nemesis; Oh I be Precise in all where'er you are, • And firmly gaze upon the .Planet Star. From the above extracts it will be seen that the prophets have selected fully two -thirds of the horses that will run, and it will be strange if the winner should turn up in the other third, as was the case in the Cesarewitch. In that race I have reason to congratulate myself on the judge'o decision with reference to the second and third, as I placed Paste second and Asteroid third. The Criterion Stakes is the only wont of importanoo to bo decided on Monday, and if Buckstono only runs I shall look no further for the winner. In his absence Wingravo will defeat Old Calabar. For the Cambridgeshire my im pression is that CONFECTIONER or MUTINEER will prove the winner, but I shall give my final opinion on Monday, as important alterations may take place at the " Corner" this evening. A FRESH MAN. HOW THE MONEY GOES.—There are now in course of preparation in New York, gun-carriages, cais sons, battery waggons, and forges for more than 200 10-pounder and 20-pounder Parrot guns (field -pieces), which require about 500 vehicles in all to fit them for the field. Of these enough for 100 pieces are manufactured for the Government, 80 for the State of New York, and 28 for the army of the West, under General Fremont. Over 300 men are constantly employed on the work at Stephenson's manufactory, and the required number of vehicles for 30 pieces are completed eaoh week. SHARPS AND FLITS.—The philosophical teacher in " Candide" laid it! down as an undeniable proposition that nothing that existed among mankind was without its peculiar use, nor Lg e the s,said pr. pai adjunct be ig st calculatedioss, were re o clearlyt dis play its capabilities. made to wear breeches; so there are breeches. Tho nose was given a bridge to support spectacles ; accordingly we have spectacles. Natural philosophers have in like man ner declared that no animal has been created that has not some smaller animal also made to be its prey and support. Pheasants eat worms, and man eats pheasants; so also sharpers are made to live upon flats, and flats are born for the especial purpose of feeding and maintaining sharpers. As there are many races of sharpers, so also are there seve ral distinct species of flats. Here is the lame horse dealer, there is also the country gentleman who leaves his cheque as a deposit while he is trying the lame horse, and returns to the stable to find the seller flown and the cheque pre sented. There is the skittle sharp ; born for his support there is the countryman, who has come to see the sights of London, and who is lucky enough to meet with a friend who is acquainted with them all, and whose only failure consists in finding that what used to be a rifle• ground is now a skittle alley. Thirdly, there is the fortune Jaunting sharp —this last being usually a foreign noble,—and for his sup port are reared certain ladies of a certain age, with strong appetites for husbands and a comfortable sum in the Three Iper Cents. One of the last-named fitly-matched pairs have this week had their tale of true love brought before the pub lie through the somewhat unnutinieutal medium of the Old 13ailoy,—London levi4.

Mr. Selfe—What, for five months ? Now did you live all that time ? The prisoner —In the best way I could. _ _ _ _ Mr. Ralston said the prisoner was a dissipated, limy fellow, who periodically left his family and cared nothing for them. Mr. Selfe said that ratepayers struggling for an existence complained, and not without reason, of the abandonment of families by those who were able but not willing to maintain them. A list similar to the present was produced by Mr. Gifford, relieving officer of Mile-end Old-town, last Satur day. Such a frightful state of things was not to be tole rated. He convicted the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. 991 f 111 t 14r f 6 i ii 13144 9 1141 6i 51 17 14 Mlr 3.2.10 j 2.14.8 7.4.0 54f 17s 6.8.6 8.12 1 4.11.6 1 1.10.61 9 116 1.14.0 9.18.9 16 10.6.7 11 5.9.0 all 18.15.9 261 13s 6cl 4 1 t :NEB. DEATH OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM. (From the Times.) Sir J. Graham died, at Netherby, shortly before noon yesterday. For the last 18 months he had been suffering from attacks of acute pain in the heart on the least extra mental or physical exertion. On Thursday week, having dined with his family as usual on the previous day, he was seized with pain of more than usual severity in the heart. Remedies were applied ; the attack yielded to their influence, and he gradually improved. Last Thursday he was so much better that he told his medical attendant he thought he should shortly be able to dispense with his services, and, after having had dinner in his bedroom, he retired to bed about 6 o'clock, say ing he felt all the better for having sat up longer than usual. Soon after that he had another attack of acute pain, which did not yield to the remedies applied. He expressed a strong conviction that it was useless to try any more remedies, as he was quite sure, from the long continuance of spasms and from his general feeling, that his end was at hand. He then gradually sank during the night, and died at a quarter before 12 yesterday. His faculties were bright and unimpaired to the last, and he died ex pressing the utmost resignation. His death will take the country by surprise. Although he had retired from the cares of office, his interest in public life was undiminished, and in the last Session of Parliament no man was more regular in his attendance at the House of Commons. Night after night, even in those dreary periods of the even ing when the House thins, he was to be found in his place, and listening with the greatest patience to the longest drawn speeches, In the financial de bates of the Session he took an especial interest, and late at night, when evidently longing for repose, he might be seen standing at the door of the House, anxious to go, and yet peering over the members' shoulders eager to catch the last m ords of the debate. His support was always of immense advantage to a Government. If he opened his mouth to speak, it was said to be worth fifty votes, and now this tower of strength has suddenly fallen —the chosen lieutenant of Peel and of late the chief of the Peelites. If he was not a great states man, he was certainly a powerful Minister. He was too timid to take the first place in politics, and per haps he was too unsettled ever to bo a safe guide. On the other hand, his administrative ability was of a high order, and his eloquence, assisted as it was by his great stature, his noble presence, and his fine voice, was exceedingly effective. These combined made him a most formidable opponent in Parlia ment, and, with his vast knowledge of detail, a most valuable member of any Cabinet. His place, however, was strictly that of a lieutenant. He was not a commander of men. With all his ability, he was never peptide!. He was one of those men who are more than mediocre, but who do not fulfil the expectations which they excite. carry with them the favour of the multitude. Yet, if real ability and considerable weight in affairs of State during the whole of a long Ministerial life give a claim to the name o f s t a t e sman, it may be that Sir James Graham Rill receive the posthumous honour. But his fame must be the creation of a painstaking historian. When the political history of the pa s t 30 years comes to be examined, when private journals are published, and corespondence yellow with age sees the light, it may be found how actively, if not h ow powerfully, Sir James was engaged in the many changes which have illustrated the great age of Reform. To have been always in the midst of important business, to have shared the counsels of every leading statesman of his time, and to have been listened to with deference by all, con stitute no mean reputation. On every subject and in any office Sir James Graham was an able man. Like the gladiator who, though excelled in each of the exercises by some one or other of his fellows, yet stood second in all of them, Sir James Graham, though not of surpassing eminence in any branch of politics, was yet a man who in any post would only have been surpassed by a master mind. To be the usefal and influential politician who goes through life with the confidence of all men,and closes his career with a peerage and a kind of patriarch al dignity in the political world, is tl.e destiny which one would have been inclined to foretell for a man of Sir James Graham's intellectual gifts. That ho failed in attaining this moral position among his countrymen, and has been, if not undervalued, at least postponed in public estimation to colleagues no abler than himself, has been sometimes regretted, though the causes are not difficult to discover. Sir James, however, was probably but little affected by this failure. He was by constitution unfitted for the bold game of leading a party. A strong, vivacious nature, and a geniality either real or affected, they make a man great in this way ; or he may attain to the chiefship by steady assertion of some leading principles which recommend him to the confidence of powerful classes or interests. But Sir James Graham must have felt that he had not the faculties of a Palmerston or a Derby on the one hand, or of a Peel or a Russell on the other. He could neither be the favourite of a people nor the champion of a cause. And as men, happily, soon learn their shortcomings, and become reconciled to them, and fancy that what they can attain to is, after all, the happiest lot, so Sir James Graham came to place his ambition in being thefidus Achates of a Ministerial Chief. In the appreciation of his colleagues he found a compensation for the absence of popular display. Even when, as in the case of the Bandieras, he brought opprobrium and invec tive on himself, he might say that it was zeal for the policy of the Government that instigated him, and that he was only a too devoted colleague of Lord Aberdeen. the nces the lera- lici per- iris. rn lich s to that han the ►nt, ght stock stock stock stock 50 stock stock stock stock e t och 263 10 stock stock stock 25.6 d. 12i 12i stock 6 stock all 1 100 100 100 100 all all 1011 Share' 100 stk 18 20} 204 10 100 1 100 100 17/1 20 stock 20 20 100 100 100 stock stock stock 20 stock stock stock 71 1.7.2 6
