ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLooK. The Liverpool cotton market on Saturday closed with a steady appearance, and prices were firmer. The sales were 5,000 bales. An improved feel in g was manifested in the railway share market, and a large amount of business was transacted. The condition of trade in the textile manufac turing districts continues very depressed, and no sensible improvement can be expected while the terms of discount are maintained. Since the suspension of the Bank Act, however, a much better feeling has prevailed, and the advices from India have given satisfaction in particular branches. Two or three other failures have cc ctirred which have increased the uneasiness which preTiously existed. In the iron districts business is xtecessarily very dull, but there is a hopeful feeling despite the discontinuance of American orders. During the last two or three days the demand for Inoney, though still very active, has slightly abated, and the suspension of the Bank Act has pro duced greater confidence. The commercial public now merely supply their immediate wants, whereas before they obtained more than they required, lest they should find further difficulties in getting ac cotnn iodated hereafter. An impression now prevails that some relief, and, perhaps, a small reduction in the terms, will be experienced, so that the presseat applications for discount are on a com paratively moderate scale. At the same time, how ever, the failure of weak firms cannot be prevented, and two or three are almost daily added to the list. Although most of them are not of public interest they fully prove the injurious effects of the 'crisis. The latest accounts from India and America, however, are of an encouraging descrip tion, and will ne doubt tend to promote an im proved feeling in commercial circles. The failure of two firms engaged in the corn t trade 'have been announced this morning, the esti mated. liabilities in each case ranging from 40,0001. o 50,1000/. Considering the recent depreciation of cereals, and the additional heaviness occasioned by the permission to export corn from France, these casualties cannot excite surprise. It is very pro bable that before the end of the year other firms in this branch of business will succumb. Two or three vessels with large amounts of specie from Australia must now be near at hand, and if they should arrive during the next few days, they will, no doubt, be productive of great benefit. The position of the Bank is still very unfavourable, and much worse than has been known for many years. In order to increase their available assets, it is imagined that they are selling stock to a con siderable extent, and as much as 300,000/. has been disposed of this morning. It is impossible, how ever, to imagine that they can retrieve their posi tion with rapidity after such a violent strain upon their resources, but the pressure having somewhat abated, there is now every reason to believe that a gradual improvement will take place. The Seringapatam left the Colony on the 15th August with 12,180 ounces, and the Essex, on the 2d September, with 105,255 ounces of gold. The English Stock market opened with a firm appearance, and the tendency was upwards, but soon afterwards the Government broker became a seller, and his operations had a marked effect in spite of money purchases. A declieni of per cent. took place, and it is said that as much as 300,0001. stock has been sold. The news from America is considered favourable, but a good deal of anxiety is felt relative to the approaching meeting of Par liament.

CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country markets held on Saturday were only moderate ; neverthe less, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and prices were rather drooping. Barley was is to 2s lower, and all other articles had a downward tendency. The French markets have become somewhat firmer owing to a decree having been issued allowing the export of native produce. In the other continental markets the trade generally has ruled heavy. The American markets have shown more animation. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were only moderate. From abroad, the imports were extensive :-23,614 quarters of wheat, 10,229 of barley, E , 0,879 of oats, 250 of rye, 1,800 of beans, 4,328 of peas, 4,520 of linseed, 100 of sundry seeds, 1,863 sacks, and 533 barrels of flour. The supply of wheat received fresh up to-day from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, was only moderate ; and the arrivals by land carriage were by no means extensive. The show of samples, however, was good, as a portion of last week's unsold supply was again brought forward. The trade was in a depressed state, and prices gave way, compared with Monday last, 4s per quar ter. The heaviness in the trade was increased from the fact that two failures in the trade were announced. The estimated liabilities are about 80,0001. We had a very large quantity of foreign wheat on offer. The trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and prices of most kinds were nominally 2s. per quarter lower than on this day fortnight. In floating cargoes of grain scarcely any transactions took place. The show of barley, both English and foreign, was again extensive, and the trade ruled heavy, at a further decline in value of from ls. to 2s. per quarter. The malt trade was very dull, and prices had a down ward tendency. We were heavily supplied with oats, and the demand was in a depressed state at a fall in value of ls. per quarters. Beans changed hands slowly at is decline, and peas were offering on lower terms. The flour trade was heavy, and country markets gave way Is per 280 lbs. Town-made qualities fell 3d or to 47s per sack. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURI9.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were by no means extensive as to number, and there was a decided falling off in the weight and quality. All breeds told steadily at an a Ivance in the quotations of Monday last of 2d per Ms. The general top figure for beef was 4s 10d per 8113 s ; but u few very prime Scots realised 5s per 81b From Lincolnshire, L'Acestershire, and Northampton. shire we received 3,030 shorthorns; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds ; from Ireland, 300 oxen ; and from Scotland, 47 Scots. For the time of year the supply of sheep was limited, anti in but middling condition. Although skins and rough fat are falling in price, the mutton trade ruled steady, at vary full quotations; indeed, in some instances, prices hae, an upward tendency. The general top figure for Downs was 5s 4d ; but a few very superior pens realised 5s 6d per 81bs. From Ireland 210 sheep were in the market. The supply of calves was very moderato, and the veal trade ruled brisk, at 4d to 8d per 81bs above Monday's currency. The top quotation for veal was 554 d per 81bs.

SPORTING NOTES. GOOD THINGS FOR SHREWSBITRY. Last week's sport was remarkable in many respects. Remarkable for its quantity and remarkable for its quality. Mr. Topham, despite the most discouraging difficulties succeeded in giving his patrons even more than they bargained for, and got up a meeting which for the interest which it excited has never had a superior at Aintree. The style in which Special License galloped away from his opponents, for the Cup, showed that his party bad made no idle boast, when they stated that he could give Mcestissima 61bs. and a beating. William Day had somehow over-estimated the "form" of St. Giles, who certainlydid not run up to his Spring perform. ances. "Isaac," however, as usual, made no very great mistake with Cotswold, and it was not until Special License came with such force into the bett;ng that his confidence was shaken. The number of 2-yr-olds which were brought out at Liverpool formed not one of the least important " features" of the meeting. The last scene of all, which ends the strange eventful history of the racing season, 1857, will be played out at Shrewsbury; for the Ludlow "epilogue" will not attract much attention. With Mr. Frail for the manager, and a hest of well-known performers, there is little doubt of the curtain's going do lin with eclat. lam really puzzled how to deal with the probabilities, and have the less hesitation in making this confes sion, because the leading sporting journal also expresses its disinclination to calculate the Shrews bury chances. RumoUrs of horses intended, and horses not intended, are plentiful enough, and as at this period of the year everybody is bent on putting money in his purse, people must exercise some little caution in their speculations. How Mr. Frail manages to compile so formidable a programme as that which he annually issues, astani-les the uninitiated, and how he succeeds in commanding large fields is a matter of sur priee, even to those persons who are pretty well ac quainted with the working of racing affairs. The two top weightii, Pole Star and Leamington, have been struck oat of the Shrewsbury Handicap. Hobgoblin and Rosati are not unfavourably weighted, and with "Somerset to help mo" I shall stand them against the field. Cotswold, Laverna, and Speoial License have incurred penalties which must more or less spoil their chances for their respective engagements at Shrewsbury. I shall therefore place them " out " of the Corporation Plate, and select Mabel and Badaworth. M. Dobler and the Plush colt are seemingly as well in as anything for the C ilumn Plate. For the Steeplechase I shall be inclined to trust Knight of the Shire and Minor. A discussion of Thurdday'e racing must be postponed until Wednesday afternoon, when I shall at least have a knowledge of the horses arrived to guide me, A FRESH MAN. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. THE MONETARY CRISIS. The step just taken by the Government towards the casement of the money pressure does not appear to have given general satisfaction this side of the water. The Evening Mai/ unreservedly condemns the Ministerial panacea, observing : " Baseless speculative trading in Glasgow and the grossest banking mismanagement caused a number of commercial failures in that city, and ultimately the stoppage of two banks largely used by the elms of small depositors. A run upon other Glasgow banks was the result, and such a popular commo tion as was sufficient to frighten Lord Palmerston from his propriety. Not knowing what else to do, he determined, at all events, not to be beaten by Lord John Russell, and from that determination sprang the letter which it appears was neither auz gested nor approved by the Bank. The best result we can hope for is that no serious harm may be done ; but it is greatly to be regretted that sufficient firmness did not remain in the Treasury counsel.; to wait a few' hours for the turning point towards which the natural process of cure was fast advanc ing." The Evening Post, on the other hand, contends that some relaxation had become absolutely neces sary, not to uphold concerns that ought to suffer for improvidence, but to provide for the require ments of legitimate trade. The remedy adopted in 1847, the Post maintains, was the obvious one to be applied in the present crisis, and adds : " In Ireland, as we have often already stat;d, and as events have proved, there has been none of that system of reckless over-trading which has caused so much calamity in England and Scotland. Here trade generally is sound, payments are punc tual, and mercantile credit was never higher. We use the term ' credit' as a conventional phrase ; for capital is most abundant for all legitimate purposes in Dublin, and there really is lets of a credit system than, perhaps, at any former period. Irish capitalists are availing them selves of the high rates of interest for loans on Government security in England, And investments are so largely made that Government fltoek to a considerable amount has been transferred to Ire land even during the last two months. Neverthe less, we rejoice at the symptoms of improvement that have been manifested in England and Scot land since the announcement of the letter of Loid Palmerston, allowing the Bank of England to in crease its issues. The panic, now at an end, has been 'short, sharp, and decisive'—not more than a fortnight in duration in Great Britain, but here we had the opportunity of cont em pl a ti ng it s e ff ec t s a t a safe distance from the scene of disaster. This is the first time in our history, perhaps, that Ireland has thus been distinguished at once for prudence and prosperity. Already we have reaped the re ward, and hereafter we shall find the advantages of the reputation we have acquired for that sound mercantile credit and prudent conduct of our bank ing business which have so effectually protected us during the severe commercial crisis of 1857." THE CHANCELLOR AND THE ORANGEMEN. The Christ Church (Belfast) Protestant Associa tion, headed by the Rev . . Dr. Drew, have adopted a aeries of resolutions menacing Chancellor Brady with " attainder and loss of fortune, liberty, and life," as the just penalty of the unhappy letter ad dressed to the Marquis of Londonderry. Such, at least, seems to be the obvious meaning of the fol lowing resolutions : " Resolved—That the Protestant Association take notice with much regret of the recent letter of the Lord Chancellor. _ " They respectfully plead with that high officer of State, and ask whether, in his limitation respect ing candidates for the magistracy, he has not out stepped the limits of the British constitution ; and, if so, whether there be not historical record for showing that by ants of a similar unlawful kind great functionaries have been subjected to attain der and loss of fortune, liberty and life. "They respectfully inquire if the same high offi cer of State reject any candidate on alleged and specified opprobrious grounds, at once insulting to said candidate, and injurious to his position and re putation, whether an action at law will not lie against the public defamer of any candidate who belongs to a society of proverbial loyalty and unde niable legality. " As to the commemoration of anniversaries, this association respectfully remind him of what occa sioned the visit of William 111. to this country, and how the monarch James 11. and Lord Chan cellor Fittan of those days ceased to hold office. To commemorate the removal of inquisitions kings and statesmen, to glorify God for civil and religious liberty restored, and to keep in endearing remem brance the fathers of the Reformation and the originators of the glorious revolution of 1688 they hold to be a most indispensable and religious duty." TICEREGAL APPOINTMENTS. Capt. Robert Williams, Controller to the House hold of Lord Carlisle, has been appointed to the re ceivership of the Dublin police, vacant by the re tirement, on pension, of Mr. Redmond. The salary is abeut 5001. a-year.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. CREMORNE GARDENS-SIMPSON V. CARTER. Mr. James, Q.C., said, in this case a rule had been issued calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why certain interrogatories should not be propounded to the plaintiff by the defendant, and why be should answer the same within 10 days. This was an aciion for slan der, brought by Mr. Simpson, proprietor of Cremorne Gardens, against the defendant, fur charging him, as proprietor of these gardens, in allowing conduct to g on there of a character to corrupt the morals of the public. Lord Campbell said the Court did not grant the rule calling on the plaintiff to answer the interrogations, but to show cause why they should not be propounded. Mr. James said the rule was for both. Lord Campbell—The court never said the plain`,lff should be compelled to answer them. Mr. James said that when tile rule was moved it was stated that Mr. Simpson declined to answer them en the ground that he might criminate himself. No suet refusal was ever made by Mr. Simps m, but only to the extraordinary nature of the interrogations, asking him to answer facts not withisi his knowledg,, such as " Are you not aware that after parties had left the gardens ladies were guilty of in decent conduct on their way home to London." It was utterly impossible for Mr. Simpson to answer such ques tions. He had no desire to screen hiesself'or evade an swering the question, and he would do so in the best way be could. Lord Campbell said that when the rule was mo ve d, he had no doubt Mr. Simpson would be willing to answer all the interrogations he could. Mr. James said it was peeencly absurd to.expect Mr. Simpson to be able to answer for the conduct of particis oft his premises. Mr. Justice Wightruan said the rule was granted to exhibit interrogatories. Mr. Keane said he moved for the rule, and it was drawn up in the terms of the section, hut by some mis• take the words were introduced calling on the plaintiff to answer the interrogatories. _ _ The rule was made al)olute for propounding the in ,errogators. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO INDISCRIMINATE ALMS GIVER.—Jane Rodgers, a dirty, dissipated, middle-aged woman, wao placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with being drunk and begging. It appeared from the evidence of police constable 175 C, that on the previous night he was on tluty in plain clothes, in the Haymarket, when he saw th, prisoner, who was much intoxicated, go up to seve ral ladies and gentleman, and solicit alms. In som inst!..nces she succeeded, in others she did not, and at last she came up to him, and after telling him a pitiful tale, requested him to give her a penny, with whin to buy bread, as she was literally starving. He told her to be off, when she went up to a gentleman, who pitying her oistress gave her sixpence. She ❑o sooner received the money, than she entered a pub lic house. She spent the money in gin, thou re tnned to the streetF. He then took her into cue toddy. She vvaii sent to prison for a month with hard labour. EXECUTION OF DAVIS (THIS DAT.) --..- At eight o'clock this morning, Teomas Robert Davi , ', a fancy carpenter, was executed in front of Newgate for the murder of his wife, by cutting her throat at their lodgings, Dorset-street, Balls Pond, Islington. The crowd in front of the jail was less numerous than on many former occasions, but still there were before the scaffold some 5,000 or 6,000 of the worst sort of people London can proclaim. At half-past seven o'clock this morning Mr. Sheriff Allen and Mr. Under Sheriff Parker arrived at the jail and were soon afterwards followed by Mr. Sheriff Law rsnce. At a quarter to eight o'clock they, with the governor (Mr, )Vetherhead), the Rev. Mr. Plairs, and Mr. Under Sheriff Millard proceeded to the prisoner's cell, where he was found standing with his hands clasped in the same manner as he stood at the trial, muttering, " Lord have mercy on my soul. I am in nocent Of all knowledge of the crime. I die a dread ful death, bat innocent of any inientioe." Mr. Under Sheriff Parker fished hint, now that he was so near death, whether he persisted in his statement, to which he replied earnestly, " I do, I do ; before God and man I am innocent of any knowledge of the act '." and in reply to repeated questions he said that it bad been his only consolation in all his troubles to know that he was innocent of any knowledge of committing the act until some hours afterwards ; that he loved his wife dearly, and that the day on which it was done was the happiest day he had spent, but how mournfully had it turned out , He added that, as far as any man could, he died innocent. Mr. Under-Sheriff Parker and the reverend ordinary repeatedly asked him if he felt that he was truly penitent. His replies were reiterations of his , innocence, and the expression of a hope that God would be merciful to him. He desired that one of the warders should deliver some little books to his child, who he hoped would be taken care of now that she had lost both father and mother. Calcraft was here introduced, and proceeded to adjust the new leather apparatus, during which Davis asked the ordinary to request the executioner, who ever he was, to be as quick as he could, as he did nut want to be kept standing to be gazed at by the mob. Having been assured upon that point, he said he would not have minded being shot by some of h er Majest3'is Foot Guards, as he should then have died the death of 1 a Christian, but now he was going to die the death of a do As the last moments which he was to spend on earth arrived, the convict appeared inn red mov t oo o oe ne o r o. nerve himself to the b utmost, still protesting At length the t b i e i e l l rev, tolle ordinary r a d? b d a tr 3 the procession beadiug tbe burialed o to the scaffold, con vict walked firmly and steadily ser vice.

(By a Correspondent of the Mark-lane Express.) In the New Forest, Hants, serious evils emanate from a class of individuals denominated squatters, These persons have, by virtue of a long existing custom and usage, established themselves as sepa rate and distinct colonies which ar e ex t ens i ve l y distributed throughout this waste. It is at ancient admitted plea of justification for a perpetual tenancy that if a family can erect a house and occupy the same, free from the ill effects of wind and weather, within a space of 24 c l ear hours, they become, by virtue of such an accom plishment, tenants in foe of the ground they stand upon, and are suffered thenceforth to enjoy the same as a perpetual freehold. From this circumstance, either with a view to promote a spirit of social accommodation, or to se cure from external annoyances united support, or both, these people have been progressively en croachinc, from time immemorial on this sylvan waste, until they have ultimately succeeded in con structing villages, which they are pleased to term towns, in which they multiply iu numbers and in crime. Being proximate to the coast, immediately op posite the port Cherbourg, and in close connection and constant communication with the Channel Islands, the New Forest presents a most eligible theatre for the encouragement of smuggling, and the greater portion of the inmates of these mud built wigwams are more or less in the practice of carrying on an unceasing trade in contraband wares. This lawless practice, combined with deer stealing, and poaching on an unlimited scale, may be looked upon as the chief resources of the villages under con sideration. Some years since there was a notorious deer stealer, named Jem Dible, who occupied a hut in "deer-ending-town," near Wyvelly Lodge, the residence of one of the forest keepers of the name of Toomer. This is the person who once succeeded in tutoring a pig he had in his possession to perform the duties of a sporting dog. The porcine quad ruped would gallop by the sides of hedges, through stubble or heath, and wherever he scented fur or feather, would come to a dead stand, and maintain his position as stiff as the staunchest pointer. This 1 pig Toomer had for years, and, for his good servi ces, spared from the murderous knife of the but cher, so that he might be said to have "saved his bacon." Jem Dible was no less than fifty times in carcerated in Winchester gaol, for longer or shorter terms of imprisonment. He was the most noto rious poacher of the day, and has left behind him a name that will go down with posterity for ages to come in the legendary annals of "feats of the forest." From Dible's school sprang up a race of similar character unrivalled by the " Waltham blacks" for their daring intrepidity. They spread terror in the neighbourhood around. Nor were their pursuits directed to deer stealing and poaching alone ; the farmers' homestead- were assailed by these noctur nal depredators. Poultry, sheep, and pigs came alike to them ; in fact, they made a trade of their daring ingenuity; and have been known to have succeeded, without a shadow of suspicion attached to them, of disposine of joints of mutton to the farmers' wives in the vicinity, which formed a part and parcel of the very sheep that, twenty-four hours eefore, were grazing on their husbands' lands. A very relnarka ble instance of detection, in relation to one of the Dible's, on the score of sheep stealing, may prove interesting in detail. It happened in the month of Deeemar. Mr. Cole, of Bucklands, ost a sh,ep off his farm during the night; the animal had been killed on the spot on which it was feed ing, and the skin and garbage were abandoned to a ditch hard by. Cole, on discovering his loss, ordered his horse to be saddled, and started off to Rhines field Lodge, the keeper of which, one Bumpstead, kept a brace of highly-trained bloodhounds, which were used for redeemi ng th e re d d e9r that were frequently apt to stray away beyond the forest bounds. These dogs were conveyed iu a cart to the field iu which the robbery had been committed, and laid on to the toot track of the perpetrator of the theft, accompanied by Bumpstead, Mr. Cole, and his ton. The scent was qui c kly ac kno w l e d ge d by the canine retrievers ; they drifted their way at au even pace, overa wild heath, a cold fallow, through a coppice, crossed the high road at Garlington Mill, through a turnip field, over a stubble, into the high road again, on to Arnewood farm, ran the length of a mile towards Batchley, when they entered the forest, and uninterruptedly entered Deer-ending town, when they opened with the stentorian salute of "We have found." On the parties entering the premises, in a shed behind the house was the mut ton, cut up ready for retail purposes. The man Dible was so struck with the novel mode of his apprehension that he credulously fancied the devil had a hand in the whole transaction, and, falling on his knees, implored mercy from God and man for the criminal act he had committed. He was, however, visited with the usual punishment atten dant upon such a feature of felony at the following aQsizys, held at Winchester. But, although the New Forest has been for a long course of years the parent of crimes of a like charac ter, nevertheless it may be considered somewhat anomalous ie the scale of truth, that the gipsies, who are numerous in these parts, are seldom, if over, known to trespass upon the possessions of the firmer. These roving tribes are looked upon in the light of the guardians of the housekeeper, rather than as pilferers or plunderers. The farmer feels more satisfied when gipsies encamp near his residence than when they are away. He is safe frum the encroachments of his more furtive neigh bours, for the Sybilline fraternity are invariably accompanied by a kennel of restless, impatient curs, which give alarm at the slightest sound of ap proach on the part of any stranger advancing to wards them ; these watch-dogs give the signal for an immediate look out, so that no person can escape the vigilant observation of the staff of the camp. The Lees, the Coopers, and the Stanleys have, from time immemorial, visited the different farms iu the neighboinhaod of their Sylvan encampment every year. They on their arrival announce their presence by pertionally waiting on the respective firmers at their residences ; genera , ly begging of the latter a few trusses of straw, which constitute the chief of their bed furniture. This boon is in variably afforded them, and in such good faith is the bond of teciprocal accommodation observed that, if any one of the tribe should, under any cir cumstances, betray the trust reposed in him by committing a depredation on a neighbouring far mer who has befriended them with their necessary wants, that individual is, after undergoing a judi cial ceremony, reproved by the whole community, and ultimately expelled from the tribe he belonged to, abandoned as an exile and an outcast. A singular instance of this kind occurred about twenty-five years ago, at a place called Bolton Bench, in the fo rest. It happened that a young gipsy boy had been guilty of some act of a nature repugnant to the general uuderstanding of the tribe. He was re moved to a spot a short distance from the camp, and there surrounded by the whole of the brethren, each member having a branch of oak in his or her hand. He was then commanded by the king, who assembled the council, to walk slowly round the human circle within arms'-length of the cir cumstationed group. During this perambulatory exposure, he received a stroke from the branches that the men and women were provided with. A vessel of dirty water was then soused over him, and he was suffered to beat a hasty retreat from the camp. Joseph Lee was the patriarchal monarch of the gipsies, on the above occasion. He was 87 years of age when he died, having by hook or by crook, as the saying goes, lumped together a tidy personal estate ; for, according to the accredited reckoning of the gipsey court of " testamentary commins, ' be left behind him no less a sum than six thousand pounds sterling. He had three daughters, whom ho severally named "Faith," "Hope," and. " Charity." On Charity Lee, his youngest daugh ter, being married to a young man of the Stanley tribe, it is stated that he presented to the bride groom3oo and t . wortho his daughter, ofplateandj the bride,vellery,and 2O O sovereigns, f o u r New Forest ponies, and a saddle and bridle. The gipsies are the least offensive features that are to be met wilt in the New Forest of Hampshire. Independent of the great gain that would speedily follow in the wake of bringing this long-neglected waste into a state of cultivation, the government would, at one swoop, sap the foundation of this forest Babel of crime and its contingencies, thereby admitting the flood-gates of civilisation to be opened and the back-waters of sound knowledge and moral example to find their way into the hearts of its degraded and depraved inhabitants. The private advices from New York by the North Star state that the news by the Persia, which brought out 240,0001., was better than had been expected. Mora produce was moving from the West; the banks were discounting choice paper rather more freely, and the general tone was decidedly better. The belief conse quently was that unless very bad news should arrive 1 from Europe the worst might be c onsidered past. In mostthat r s e e s r p io e u c s t . the p ro fa b i a l b u i r y e , ohfowMoursesrr,s.boDfoerneniitstaorurniveiss out the various markets will have sufficiently recovered to enable it to be met without throwing everything back into increased confusion. Under any circumarances, however, the improvement would be slow until the open ing of the canals in the spring, so as to allow of produce being brougbt down in larger quantities. 20,000 sove reigns which came out by the Baltic had been sent back to England by the next return steamer. The rate of 6 ,6 9 , 3 ge had further advanced, some transactions hav ing occurred at 108. Gold from this side therefore would fail as a speculation. The only further suspension of any iwportantance had been that of George Warren and Co. large dry goods importers, at Boston. I 50 50 50 25 100 100 100 100 100 100 25 10 L 0.6, St. St. Rt.
