' ' D -,'-..1k Oinnina Int LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1851 What are " the rights of property ?" They have been spoken of for many centuries ; they are familiar to our ears, but we believe they have never been very accurately defined. The statute law is simple enough, but there appears to be an " unwritten code" of a shifting and variable character, whieh knows no limitation save the will of " the lord of the soil." His behests may be of the most illegal and unwarrant able character, but woe to the unfortunate cottier who opposes the slightest resistance, who does not yield a ready and servile obedience. It is true that the landed proprietor no longer possesses a power of life and death over his tenantry. He cannot order the execution or even the flagellation of any contuma cious occupier. The " serfs" and " villeins" have been nominally emancipated, and patriots rejoice in the supposition that slavery no longer exists in the United Kingdom. We fear, however, that this is but an empty boast, so far as one of the British islands is concerned; for we find that a despotic authority is exercised in some parts of Ireland exceeding anything known in the middle ages, when the feudal system was at its utmost height, partaking of a spiritual, as well as a merely temporal power, and authorizing not only the landowner, but his lowest bailiff; or driver, to excommunicate any miserable wretch who may incur such formidable resentment, and to forbid the slightest assistance being accorded, however pressing may be the exigencies or potent the claims of the sufferer. All the sympathies of the heart must be closed up. The most barbarous cruelties must be enacted—cruelties that would disgrace a nation of savages, if the driver announce that the victim is tabooed, that he is not to receive shelter or aid in the district. Although the Irish peasantry have been familiar with misery in its most appalling aspects, although they have seen friends and relations perishing—literally perishing—from hunger, while they were unable to afford the much-required relief, they are still a warm hearted race, who, if they had anything, however trifling, in their power, would be contented to stint themselves in order to assist a stranger, much less one of their " own blood." We may, therefore, judge of the potency of the spell under which they are en thralled when we hear of conduct such as that to which the Hon. and Rev. J. G. OSBORNE—one of the most earnest and devoted philanthropists of the age— bas just directed the public attention. The case to which the Reverend Gentleman has alluded, is one resting on no doubtful authority— it cannot be an attempt on the public credulity. It has been established on unquestionable tes timony in a court of justice, and verified by the unanimous verdict of a jury. The instruments of the crime, the small fry who were caught within the meshes of the law, are expiating the horrible out rage of which, in carry ing out the commands of the representatives of their landlords, they were guilty ; and although the larger game, who might almost be considered as " accessaries before the fact," escaped with impunity, the language of the learned and amiable judge who presided at the trial, and pronounced the sentence, showed that the parties legally responsible had no personal ill-feeling against the unfortunate deceased, but merely acted in obedience "to the threats of those in authority," that is to say, of some one or more of the drivers or subagents on the estate of the Marquis of LANs- DOWNE. We cannot for a moment suppose that the Noble Marquis was at cll cognizant of the orders that were issued in his name, of the extreme and tyrannical ex tent to w hich his authority was carried. The high and unblemished character which he has sustained for so many years forbid the suppo sition. We trust, however, that his attention being directed to the subject, he may cause such in quiries to be instituted as may lead to the detection of the parties morally, if not legally, responsible; and way issue a stringent prohibition against such en undue assumption of power for the future in any part of his extensive estates—a power not allowed even to the SOVEREIGN of these realms, unless under the sanction and by the sentence of a judge of the land. The case itself, to which we have alluded, is one of a very simple but painfuicharacter. An unfortunate child named DENTS SHEA, aged 12 years, had been guilty of some petty thefts, and in consequence fell under the ban of the driver on the estate, who issued an order that he was " not to be harboured in the district." The command was in one instance dis obeyed. The grandmother of the miserable orphan had received him ; but summary punishment awaited the contumacious opposition, and the aged woman was turned from her humble holding for not having disregarded the voice of nature when in opposi tion to the commands of a driver I The example was one that ensured future submission. Few persons in this happy land can understand the fearful consequences of being " evicted" from a holding in the south or west of Ireland, particularly in a district where there has been an order that "no lodgers are to be admitted under any pretext." Everything, in fact, is at stake, and charitable feelings can only be indulged at a risk which even the boldest and most reckless might fear to encounter—the danger of sharing the lot of the suppliant. The miserable starving boy, thus deprived of his only surviving pro tector, wandered from door to door, driven from each in succession. He came at length to that in which his uncle resided, and where it might be sup posed that he would have at least received a single meal, even if shelter were denied. But no ; the com mands of the driver were too stringent, the results of resistance too haarardous The child was beaten from the door, his hands tied behind his back, and, thus in jured and bound, he was driven from the inhospitable threshold, and in the morning was found dead 11 the Sands being still bound. The uncle and aunt were tried and convicted of manslaughter, and received the very lenient sentence of two years' imprisonment, with hard labour. Who is there, how ever, who can say that those who issued, or even tacitly connived at such illegal, such barbarous orders, are free from blame, or that orders for the banishment er expulsion of obnoxious individuals from particular districts, exposing the denounced to the moat intense suffering, perchance even to the loss of life itself, fall within the legitimate or recog nised ex ercise of " the rights of property ?" It has been long since universally admitted that the invention of a signal by which the passenger travel ling in a railway carriage should be enabled at once to communicate with th© guard or with the enaine- ~ K~- LON DON, driver was a desideratum. Many instances have oc curred in which the establishment of such a comma- nication would have prevented the occurrence of much mischief. It not unfrequently happens that the friction of the iron axletrees of the wheels of a railway carriage produces ignition of the wood work forming its flooring, and whilst the train is proceeding it is impossible, save by the adop tion of the signal system, that the guard can be made aware of the occurrence of the fire until the carriage is actually in flames, by which time probably the pas sengers would be burned. "It is not until a bishop is burned that any measures will be adopted to pre vent the recurrence of these accidents," said the late witty Canon of St. Paul's, and shortly afterwards the Bishop of EXETER was nearly burned to death from the ignition of the floor of the carriage in which he was travelling on a railway, and his life was saved only from the fortunate circumstance of the train stopping at a station before the ,fire had spread. An accident of a similar nature placed in jeopardy the lives of Mr. PAXTON and his friends during the course of their recent journey to Derby, to attend the festi val which the inhabitants of that town had given in honour of their townsmen, the constructors of the Crystal Palace. It is not long since that during a night journey from Birmingham, a gentleman travel ling in one of the . carriages was attacked and nearly murdered by his fellow-passenger, who was suddenly seized in a fit of raving madness, and who having nearly murdered his companion, leaped through the window of the carriage whilst the train was proceeding at full speed, and, marvellous to relate, escaped un hurt. Only last week two young men leaped from a train whilst it was in motion, one of whom was killed and the other severely injured; but their fellow-passengers had no means of communicating the occurrence to the guard until the arrival of the train at the next station, whilst had such communica tion existed, the train might have been stopped, and the wounded man conveyed at once to a place of safety, instead of being left as he was, lying senseless on the road, and in consequent danger of being crushed by the next train traversing the line of rails. Scarcely a week passes that the reports from our police•courts do not inform us of the punishment by fine, a very inadequate punishment we admit, of some cowardly miscreant for assaulting and insulting females, his fellow-passengers, in a railway carriage, and so common has this offence become, as to amount to a virtual prohibition of the travelling of females alone in a railway carriage after evening has set in. All these facts tend to prove how very desirable it is that there should be established a means of instanta neous communication between the passengers in a railway carriage and the guard attending the train. Several different plans have been proposed to effect this desirable object, but the greater number of them are open to the great, and, in the opinion of almost all persons connected with the practical working of our railway system, insuperable objection, that whilst they alarm the guard they at the same time alarm the whole of the passengers, and by the confusion and commotion thus produced actually endanger the safety of the whole. This objection applies with greater force to those signals which may be called noisy signals than to any others, and we believe it is to the fact that until very recently it has been deemed impossible to invent a signal which shall alarm the guard without at the same time alarming the passengers, that the objection of the directors of the great majority of the railway companies to permit experiments to be tried on their lines is to be attributed. That objection, however, has been completely obviated by the invention by Captain Am:mom of a signal which alarms the guard, and the guard alone, sshich is of mechanism so simple as to be capable of being always preserved in an effi cient state, which can only be made by a person travelling in the carriage, which cannot be made by him without the full cognizance of his fellow-passengers, and which indicates clearly and unmistakeably the carriage from which it proceeds. Thanks to the liberality and kindness of the direc tors of the North Kent line of railway, Captain ADDISON was afforded an opportunity, on Monday last, of testing the merits of his simple yet admirable invention, and nothing could be more successful than the result of those experiments, an account of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday. The day signal consists in the springing out from the side of the carriage of a large iron flag, somewhat similar to that carried by some of our omnibuses, which is thrown out on an iron arm to such a distance from the carriage as to be distinctly visible to the guard whose business it is to keep his eye constantly along the whole line of carriages. During the course of the journey this sig nal was given at least a dozen times, and was always acknowledged within two seconds of the time of its exhibition. The experiment had been performed se veral times before any of the passengers by the other carriages were at all aware of what was going on, and had it not been that they heard the conversation on the subject which took place at the different stations where the train stopped, they would have completed their journey without being aware that any experiments whatever had been tried. The experiment with the night signal was equally successful. In the night signal, at the same time that the iron flag flies out, a hammer falls upon a blue light, fitted up with a per cussion apparatus, which at once ignites the light, and thus points out the carriage. The success of these experiments was complete, and we congratulate Captain ADDISON on having invented a safe and simple signal, which meets all the objections that have been made to the signal system, whilst it rea lizes all its advantages. ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S FAIR.—To-day ttt twelve o'clock the Lord Mayor nude the ancient proclamation for holding this fair and the court of Pie- Poudre (or as the com monalty of the district have it, the dusty foot court). Not withstanding the meagreness of the fair, now shorn of all old Richardson's and Wombwell's glories, a goodly number of our own countrymen, equalled at least in number by foreigners of all nations, visited the far-famed spot. ELECTION OF CORONER FOR EAST GLOUCESTER. sumr..—This election took place yesterday, at Cheltenham. The High Sheriff presided. Lord Redesdale proposed Mr. Joseph Lovegrove. Captain Robertson seconded the nomi nation, and no other candidate being proposed, Mr. Love grove was declared duly elected, and took the oaths of office. THE VICARAGE OF KNARESEOROUGH.—We under stand that the living of Knaresborougb, vacant by the death, on Thursday last, of the Ray. Andrew Cheap, has been be stowed on the Rev. James Fawcett, M.A., incumbent of Woodhouse, Leeds. The gift of the living is in the Bishop of Ripon. The late vicar held the living upwards of forty years, and was seventy-seven years of age. THE CIVIC CHAIR.—The forthcoming election of chief magistrate of the city of London begins already to en gross the attention of the citizens. The senior aldermen who have not passed the chair are W. hunter, Esq., T. Challis, Esq., and T. Sidney, Esq., M.P. _ _ The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, accompanied by Lady Adeliza Howard, attended morning service, at the parish church of Arundel, on Sunday last. The price of bread in Paris for the first fortnight of the present month is fixed at 29 centimes the two-pound 'oaf, being a reduction of I centime. ADVANCE OF WAGES TO COUNTERPANE WEAVERS. —The counterpane weavers of Bolton have been seeking an advance of wages, and the masters at once complied with their demand. At a meeting of the body the weavers agreed to ask for an advance of wages, to the extent of one penny in the shilling, and also to ask that, in future, a uni form scale:of prices should be adopted by every employer. On Monday last the masters met at the Swan Hotel, an d having agreed to the proposal, appointed a committee of six to meet an equal number of the men to arrange a uniform list of prices. This being co mmunicated to the weav ers , a numerous meeting of the body was held i n the evening, and a committee nominated to meet the gentlemen appointed by the masters. On Tuesday the committees met, and on Wed nesday the business was arranged to the satisfaction of both parties. SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN REGENT-STREET.—Yester day evening, as Mr. Louth, of 127, New-road, Chelsea, was driving his horse and gig along Piccadilly, the animal started at the sound of a barrel-organ, and became totally unma nageable, darting off at a furious pace towards Regent street, which was thronged at the moment with people and vehicles coming from the Great Exhibition. Numerous colli sions took place, and several persons were knocked down and much hurt, the body of the gig was separated by coming in contact with a heavily laden waggon, and Mr. Louth seri ously injured. The horse, with shafts dangling at his heels, was not secured till he reached Charing-cross. Two persona, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, of Turpin's coffee-house, Gilbert's-pas sage, Oxford-street, who were knocked down at the Regent circus, were removed to Charing-cross Hospital, where they lie without hopes of recovery. The other persons who were injured were taken to their own homes. JURY LISTS.—CLAIMS OF EXEMPTlON.—Yester day notice was given that in the present month the jury lists will be exhib'ted on the church doors for the next three Sundays, and that all persons (sixty or upwards) must claim at the petty sessions to be exempted, otherwise they will be bound to serve on juries. As additional duties are likely to be imposed under a recent Act, persons entitled to exemption should claim the same. - - SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 2.—The Trent, Royal Mail Company steam-skip, Captain Clark, with the usual West India mails, left this afternoon, taking out 90 passengers, a full cargo, and specie to the amount of 33,0001.

The Journal des Debats publishes an article oppos ing the re. election of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, as President of the Republic, and supporting the pretensions of the Prince DE JOINVILLE. The Debats continues to be, as it always has been, the organ of the Orleans family, and this declaration of hostility to the pretensions of the Bonapartists is, therefore, import ant. Twenty-seven of the Councils-General have decided in favour of revision, but only eleven are in favour of revision in a Bonapartist sense; and since the publication of the letter of the Comte DE CHAMBORD, blacking MM. BERRYER and DE FAL.. noux for voting in favour of a revision, and the dis tinct declaration of hostility to the pretensions of LOUIS NAPOLEON by the Orleanists, it is doubtful whether a new motion for the revision would not be rejected by the Assembly by an absolute majority. The fusionists, MAI. GUM; DUCHATEL, and MoN TALITET, were very coldly received at Claremont. It is said that the Prince DE JOINVILLE refused to see M. DE MONTALIVET. The Gazette des Tribunaux says :—" We are as sured that, when the Minister of Justice was informed by the Procureur- General of Lyons that the advocates of the accused before the court-martial had retired, he ordered the different parquets, under whose juris diction they are placed, to complain of their conduct to the Council of Discipline." M. ALraoNsE GENT and the condemned of Lyons have lodged the following appeal in the hands of the proper authorities : " The undersigned declare that they appeal. in revision against the judgment rendered against them on the 26th of August, 1851, by the Second Permanent Court- Martial at Lyons, and against all incident decisions during the trial, and they do so on grounds affecting the merits and technicalities of the case, which will be hereafter indicated. They place you under the obliga tion of supplying them with the means of giving to their appeal any more complete and more legal form which may be necessary. " Prison of Roanne, 29th August, 1851, 12 o'clock in the day. " (Signed) A. Gent—Albert'Ode—Longomaxino— Montegut Barbut Bouvier Delescluse— Daumas—Borel—l. Gent•—Grill—Chevassus— Maistre—P. Malleval—J. Louis—Chamard— Robert Beridot—Petibon—Meric —Bouvier —Jouvenne." Four of the prisoners, viz., DUPONT and C►RLE, sen tenced to six months' imprisonment, and &VIRE and THOUREL to a year's imprisonment, have not appealed. Letters from Toulon of the 29th mention the fact of rumours being in circulation there that the French Mediterranean squadron had received orders to pro ceed to the coast of Italy as speedily as possible. The state of the Italian peninsula generally, and of Naples in particular, is said to be the cause of these orders being given. The Bourse was feeble, particularly at the close.

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date of Fussen, 28th ult., says :—" Last night, at about ten o'clock, the King of PRUSSIA arrived at the chateau of Hohenschwangau with the King of BAVARIA, who went as far as Weissencee to meet him. The magnificent chain of mountains of Nes selwang was brilliantly illuminated by the fires which had been lighted on their summits. The ruins of the Nesselbourg, the Falkenstein, and of the old fortress of Kohenschwangen were distinctly seen from the light, but the brilliancy of the royal chateau eclipsed all the rest. At two o'clock this afternoon the King of PRUSSIA continued his journey to Inspruck. ITALY. The Opinione of Turin announces military evolu tions on a large scale, representing the battle of Montenotte, which in 1796 opened Italy to the inva sion of the French. On the Ist of September and following days, two Fiedmontese regiments are to occupy the villages of Dego and Spigno, and two batteries the heights of upper and lower Montenotte. The Aosta brigade will represent the Austrian army, under BEAumitu ; the brigade of Savoy the French army, under LALIARTE, and the 17th regiment the division under MASSENA.- General LAMAEMORA is entrusted with the general direction of the evolutions. The Genos Gazette announces from Cagliari that the levy of recruits in the island of Sardinia has been effected without the slightest resistance, but that a serious affair occurred in the north of the island. It appears from this account that Major DE SANT ELIA, one of the recruiting commissaries, while on his way to Nulvi, with an escort of twelve dragoons, was at tacked by a party of bandits, who fired four shots at him ; his horse was wounded, and the flap of his coat pierced with a ball. Three of his escort were also wounded. The bandits have not been arrested. THE GREAT EXHIBITION AND THE SYMPOSIUM. A grand banquet and file , to do honour to the exhibitors of all nations, took place last evening at the Symposium. The arrangements were carried out in Soyer's best style, which is saying for it all that language could say. Nearly 300 sat down to a most recherche dinner, in that gorgeous salon, the Ba ronial-hall. G. Thompson, Esq., M.P., presided. The vice-chair was filled, in the absence of Mr. Schole field, by Hercules Ellis, Esq , barrister. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were proposed by the Hon. Chairman with his usual eloquence and good taste, and enthusiastically responded to by the meeting. " The exhibitors at the National Exhibition," the great toast of the evening, drew forth thunders of applause ; as well as the toast which followed, pro posed in very appropriate and eloquent terms by the vice-chairman—" The Artisans by whose skill the object of the exhibition was carried out." Mr. Miller, to whom the company were much indebted, in a most happy and well-merited strain of eulogy proposed " The Chairman's " health. We understand the beautiful card of admission, which attracted so much attention and admiration, was designed by Mr. Miller. After some other toasts, amongst which was that of " The Vice. Chairman," the company left the bril liant hall for a more brilliant scene still—a display of fireworks in the beautiful grounds, of unequalled magnificence. The Prince of Epicureans excelled him self on this great occasion, and well merits the thanks of the committee and the support of the public. GREENWICH BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.—This establishment, which has been erected at a cost of less than 10,0001. (including the purchase of the freehold), was opened on Monday. It contains 43 separate, and two large plunge baths, with a►out 20 washtubs. The building stands at the west entrance of the town, and nearly opposite to the rail way station. It is in the Elizabethan style, and has a very interesting appearance. The following statement shows the day's account, and will be of interest to the reader .—Bathers, first-class, men, 67 warm, 9 cold ; women, 12 warm ; second class, men, 154 warm, 111 cold ; women, 10 warm ; with 3 " annual bathers :"—making a total of 366. The receipts amounted to 3/. 17s. 6d. The plunge baths are not yet ready for use. The commissioners have issued annual tickets for a guinea, and 25 have already been taken. We believe this is a practice not hitherto adopted at these establishments. FATAL Accinvir.—An accident attended with the loss of seven lives, occurred on Monday last on the river Tyne. A steam-boat from Newcastle to Marsden Rock, on a pleasure trip, stopped at Howden to take in passengers. A sculler boat put off with seventeen or eighteen passengers on board, and had scarcely got twenty yards from the shore when it was driven by the tide athwart two vessels lying in the stream of the ebbing tide, when it was upset, and the whole of the passengers immersed in the water. Assistance was difficult to render, and seven perished, the others having been rescued with great difficulty. The boat was over crowded, but great want of management and precaution is attributed to the boatmen. The seven drowned were all young women, f r om twelve to twenty-one years of age. Immediately after the accident the steam-boat, which had before been sailing down the stream with banners flying, lowered its colours and did not proceed further. Only one body had been recovered up to Monday evening. EASY COMMUNICATION QITII ENGLAND. The Chester and Holyhead Railway Company is increasing, we perceive, the facilities of communication between Ireland and England. The booking though and return-ticket system now extends not only to Dublin, but many of our most im portant towns have been brought within its operation. Among these are Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Ballinasloe, Athlone, Mullingar, Belfast, Newry, and Dundalk. Passen gers can book, by one payment, either for the single or double journey, between any of these towns and London, Birming ham, 111anchester, Liverpool, or Chester. Return tickets to or from London and any other station are available for four teen days; between stations, for seven days. It is difficult to over-estimate the convenience which this system confers on the travelling public.—Dublin Daily Express. VICE-ADMIRAL AYSCOUGEL—There is no truth in the statement announcing the death of the gallant Admiral. A letter from the noble seaman states that he was alive and well at Place Navarin, Boulogne, on Monday. THE BLOOMER IN A SUOVVER. -- The Boston Gazette speaks of witnessing the effect of several sharp showers upon the new costume. The Turkish trousers lost their graceful colour, and flapped round the pedestals of the wearer like a wet banner round a flag-staff, while the tunic was deprived of its stiffness. The fair" Bloomer" was in a most dietteoing predicament. AT Leasing Business Railways. Paid. Nominal Prices. Companies. done to-day. Barks andliants Ex. 5 per Cent. Gt. West= 6 34 1 P.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 4,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export; and 500 on speculation. The sales comprised 3,250 American, 320 Pernam and Maran ham at 6d. to 7id., 300 Bahia at Sid. to 6d.; and 100 Egyptian at 6d. to 61d. per lb. The market closed steadily. The Share Market wasvery firm, particularly for Midland and Leeds Shares, which were in much de mand, at considerably higher prices. Upon the state of the Produce Markets during the past month, Messrs. H. W. Jewsbury and Co. report as follows :—" We have again to report a dull month in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets; the same inanimate tone prevails which has beet he chief feature since the commencement of the year; ...oa the tendency of prices generally has been again +l. - ownwards ; the rates for most of the leading articles a: very low, still importers have been desirous to realise, -- .nd prices have ruled more in favour of the buyers than u: the beginning of the past month. The recent failures have had a de pressing effect upon the markets; but al: it is now felt that no great quantity of produce . :n conse quence be forced upon the market, has been a firmer tone during the last few days, a. 1,1 sales have been made upon rather better terms. The harvest has so far been gathered in safely, and is reported both abundant in quantity and fine in quality ; all fears upon this essential point being set at rest, it is not unrea sonable to expect some improvement in produce—that is, where prices have not been artificially raised by speculation." In reporting upon freights in London for the past month, Mr. George Offor, jun., mentions that our ship owners are more inclined to build fast-sailing ships to compete with the Americans, but at the same time of stronger make, and then goes on to state:—" I regret to record a continued depression in freights. A steady fall in the Corn Markets has caused the inquiry for tonnage from the grain ports to become still more limited, and rates are almost nominal. Vessels can be placed from Alexandria at 6s. 6d. to 6s. 9d. for Beans; Galats, 10s. Wheat, &e. A private letter from Alexan dria states that the freight being paid thence for vessels to call for orders was 7s. 2d. to 7s. 6d., or to a direct port 6s. 6i. to Os. 10d. In addition to the fall in the price of Grain, which was to some extent an ticipated, the recent failures of the mercantile firms of Castelli, Giustiniani, and Co., and S. Rucker and Sons, have influenced freights—speculative charterers having suspended their operations, caution being at the same time necessary on the part of shipowners in chartering their vessels until the result of these suspensions is known. I have examined the commercial letters and papers received from the eastward by the last mails, and find that prospects generally were more favourable to the shipowning interest. Exports from London con tinue dull, with the exception of the colonial trade, in which there is some activity. The foreign markets are generally supplied." The report of Mr. 11. R. Forrest, from Bradford states —" Self-grey Alpacas and fancy goods, adapted for the season, continue to be taken as produced, and are gene rally sold to order. Although the demand is generally considered. fair, the market is dull for the time of year, and manufacturers complain that prices are mire munerative. Yarns continue in the same dull state as for some time past, and prices are ruinous, especially for the low and middle qualities. At present there is a little more demand for export, but at no improvement in prices, and from the unusual absence of buyers from Lancashire the prospect of this brunch of trade is any thing but encouraging." The summary of the Manchester Market, by Mr. G. F. Maudley, states that the last month's transactions have been very large, and that after such extensive dealings a lull is to be expected. The manufacturers, however, have full employment for some time to come. The Continental mails bring no intelligence of impor tance, and there are not any Colonial arrivals. The Money Market is at present easy, and, according to appearances, is likely to continue no. From the United States no very large amount of specie is looked for immediately, but it is, nevertheless, tho opinion in many quarters that the exchange vitil shortly advance again, for our market offers no opening :cr large im ports, and Cotton will not be al, t. go higher, it is supposed, while textile fabi - ?s tu a heavy amount have been shipped to New Yol'a. The hope is expressed that we have seen the end of important failures, and as the Bank of England will cor.nue discount ing at 3 per cent. as its minimum, until the transfer books open next month upon the payr—nt of the divi dends, HO pressure will be felt among ,es of good credit. A most excellent effect is felt .. a the caution of holders in not pressing sales of colonial produce, and this will strengthen many firms. The English Funds, although tolerably steady, do not quite support the rise of yesterday. Consols have been 961 to and are now 961 The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 98i to 99, and the Three per Cents. 97 to A sale of Bank Stock having been pressed, the price has declined from 2151 to 214. Eas t India Stock has been dull at 2604. Exchequer-bills are 445. to 475. premium. Foreign Stocks have been heavier. Sardinian scrip has fallen to 2 dis. The aspect of foreign politics not being liked, this security becomes susceptible. Mexican Bonds have been at about 28* to Spanish Five per Cents. are nominally 201 to Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 59f I. A good deal has been doing in Railway Shares, and although in some instances prices have fluctuated and been a little weak, the general tone is . good.
