tIVENING EDITION. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (FRIDAY EVENING.) 1 TIMES.—A portion of the loan for which a con tract has recently been concluded with the Belgian Go vernment is about to be introduced into this market. The terms demanded by the contractors for a share in it are 96 per cent. ; it will bear interest at 5 per cent., payable half-yearly, on the Ist of May and the Ist of November, in London, Brussels, or Antwerp. The dates of payment of the different instalments are fixed as under 20 per cent on the 23d November. 16 do. do. 21st December. 20 do. do. 20th January, 1841. 20 do. do. 19th February. 20 do. do. 19th March. with interest at the rate of 4 per cent. from the 23d of November to each payment, which the subscribers may save, if they think proper, by a payment of the whole at grace ; but in that case it is understood that the contractors will not undertake to deliver the bonds immediately, but will merely write up the scrip re ceipte as paid in full. This part of the plan has been much objected to by the jobbers in the foreign market, who would have preferred an allowance of interest on the payment of the instalments by anticipa tion, and this has been the general practice with foreign loans, though there are some instances of the contrary. The total amount of the loan is 1,4500,0001., and it is said to be chiefly intended to promote railways and other public undertakings in that country. It is to be redeemable by the usual sinking fund, by yearly purchase, and a condition is attached to the contract that it shall not be paid off at par for six years. Bar gains have been done in the scrip at from to per cent. p.remium, and left off a to premium ; but at present it does not appear to be regarded with much favour in the market. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1081 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land a d America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 1.07 per cent. against England, but the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days sight, the discount on those sixty days must Le deducted from the aforesaid difference. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 423 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. the ()puce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13:4, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 41, it follows that gold is .12 per cent. lower at Hamburgh than in London. 'foe premium on gold at Paris is 44- per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOd. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 26, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being •15.271, it follows that gold is .6 per cent. lower at Paris than in London. Money has been very scarce today on the Stock Exchange, in proof of which it may be stated that Exchequer-bills, when offered to any amount, were, unless a great sacrifice was submitted to, an unsaleable security. Sales of money stock, which were made to a considerable extent, increased this scarcity, and the current rates of the market were 4 to 6 per cent. upon all English securities excepting Consols, which for de po iit are rated 2 per cent. These saes of money stock rather depressed the prices of Consols. POST.—The Continental exchanges were generally worse again this afternoon. Such an event was quite unexiected by many, but if the Bank arrangements are permitted at a crisis like the present--for a period when the stock of bullion, including all that is appropriated t., the numerous brar cites in the country districts, is under four millions, must be regarded as a crisis—to tie interfered with by the mischievous " operations," a s they are called, of the loan-jobbing fraternity, people n u t be singularly foolish to fancy that the difficulties , the institution will not be prolonged, and the pressure or. the commercial interest of the necessity persisted 'fh.; hands of the Bank are tied. Mess:s. I>othschtl ;, to th.l shame of the Legislature, have infiiiitely inoel poe.or ih o they. They (Messrs. Rothschild) have a!- ready saddled upon the country enormous masses of ueproductive foreign stock. Families of the first TT spectainlay have been utterly ruined, beggared, by an inconsiderate participation in their schemes, but they are, neverthelcs.. still permitted to proceed. A writer in an Evening Paper, who 7-eenla to be more to tl.c secret than ourseivrs, says : " The object of nost importance to day in our market ie the contract for the new Belgian loan, brought nut I.y `.ears. Rothschild and Sons, who, same days ego, rpened pobso. iption lists for the Mlle.

Since then it has peen acid - at I prem., and is now worth # prem." It. ha.. 3 b;atm shown by the Portuguese loan affsir of Messrs Rothschild that the house has not th, influence, as was: supposed toile the ease by those who supported them in it, to ensure a continued payment. or the dividends on the loans for whicla they make then,- selves in a measure, in the capacity of con:I - W.0..5z, 1,- Murnisibai ; and, accord'ngly, great astonishment is ex• c;re , sed by intelligent persons that they should be all! r to command the price above quoted for their new Bd gilt) iotroduction. The loarnirlkers, not .iatisfied wi ii a 11 wilsotar commission and oth2r incking. bring !!!r 1.,1113 out at an arbitrary price of their own hung. 71ThAt is the result? Le subscriber holdgiar a profit, aid may of course be materially undersold. Tilt fall from preen. to is a good symptom. Messrs. Rothschild can, from old associations, calcu late on being backed in the operation by a certain clique. Retotaal would look strange in particular quarters, but we di, trust that the state of the Money Market and the at.uaed confidence of the public will between them act with sufficient fo rce to d e feat this new Belgian loan project. ,Ire Kould recommend, as a salutary practi'le when fresh schemes of the kind are proposed by ,Messrs. Rothschtld, that the holders of the Three per Cent. Portuguese Loan should run through their mu s ty b o and make a rough estimate of their losses, in princi, and interest, both of which they may assure themselv,V are gone for ever by that wrztched speculation. HERALD.—It is apparent that considerable pains are taken in cer•ain quarters to bolster up the market, vritrr what onjeci, may be readily guessed. Money was more in demand to-day, even to what may be called a pressure for it, and commanded 6 and even to 7 per cent. ow Exchequer Bills and Reduced Stock for short periods. Consols, however, by dint of management were kept - up, and even a slight improvement may be no.cd in t sem upon the closing quotations of yesterda:. The only feature in the Foreign House was the deal ing in the s trip of the New Belgian Loan undertaken by the Messrs. .Rothschilds. The amount is said to be only for 1,000,0001., but this must mean the quantity specially apportioned for this market in the first instance, and until it shall be seen how much more, should the operation be favourably received, may be conveniently placed here failing an adequate demand in Paris and Brussels. For according to accounts, which there seemsno reason to suspect the accuracy of, the whole loan contracted amounts: to 2,400,0001., so that it is tolerably clear that if it takes here there will be no want of stock over and above the 1,000,0001. designated, and that the markets will be well fed over the heads and at the eost of the first takers of the million, should these be readily found, which may be doubted, at least under present circumstances. It is scarcely possible that this loa business, involving as it must directly and indirectly the abstraction of so much hard money, can be regarded with complacency at the Bank of England, whose pre sent course of action it goes to defeat. If Belgium were a country from which large trading balances had to be received, this loan transaction might be more easily adjusted without the transmission of metallic money, but such can hardly be the case. It is of some consequence therefore to the Bank by very intelligible signs to discourage this sort of interference with its well-known policy, and the effect would be bet t:r appre crated, and tell with more force, if tbe larger fry of loan jobbers were distinctly ad vertised, by some unmistakeable demonstration that they s h ou ld no more be tolerated in 4 wil fully crossing the purposes and interests of the Bank, than any small country bank issuer of notes, or bill broking office of discount. At present this new Bel gian Loan does not seem to be in much vogue, as after various fluctuations between par and s premium, it settled down at par t o premium. The price at which ' it is brought out is at the rate of 96 per 100, the w h o l e amount paid up at once, but if paid up by l a men ts, which is at the opt i on of the applicant l o c ; purchaser of the stock, then 4 per cent. interest i . demanded for the acc ommo dation upon thosep e or t tion:,. on which rime is tak en, and rat eably with th This is essentially a new feature in lo an operations, l eno im o t e h rl at least it bias not been the practice for a g of time, so far as paying up the whole loan at once, or charging interest upon instalments paid up periodically. It is understood as the practical result that this will bring the real starting price of the loan, as compared with what it would have been under the old system, to 97i• The old Belgian Stock is 97 to 8. ever, have the effect of producing an unfavourable feel ing towards the loan on the Market ; and although a transaction for the second instalment, we believe, took place in it at 1 premium, it has not been much dealt in ; and as money has been lent to-day, for a short date, on Exchequer Bills at 6 per cent., it is not likely that the public will become eager pur chasers. At all events we hope not, and we wish not ; for, under existing circumstances, when the Ex changes are so much against us, it is extremely inexpe dient to enter into transactions which carry off the pre cious metals from the country. We are threatened, too, with more proposals of the same kind, at a period when the demands upon our own treasury are increasing. With a greatly enlarged expenditure, in the face of a revenue which cannot be looked upon as affording much encouragement, the present financial year must be one of serious inconvenience to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he may find himself obliged to appear as a borrower in the market. The spare money of our capitalists would surely be better employed in supplying his wants, in maintaining the credit of our own coun try than in supporting that of any foreign Power. SUN.—To-day we have had an improving market for the public securities, in consequence of a slight re laxation in the pressure for money in the Stock Ex change, but chiefly owing to a scarcity of Stock as com pared with the demand. Yesterday the rate of interest on Consols was fully equal to 7 per cent. per annum ; but at one period to-day there was no difference be tween the prices for the 26th instant and for immediate transfer, and at another time the latter stood per cent. higher than the former, constituting what is usually termed a baccadation. The appearance of the project for the new Belgian Loan might have been reasonably expected to depress the market, but such we see has not been the case, for the present at least. The urgent solicitation of the Austrian Government, that the French should interpose their good offices with Mehemet AEI, has served to impart the increased buoyancy. The current quotations of Consols for present transfer have been 89* to 89i, and for next Thurs day the same. To the next account the con tinuation was about per cent. Exchequer Bills did not get up from par to 2s. discount ; East In dia Bonds receded to 16s. and 20s. discount ; Bank Stock was dull at 160, and India Stock at 239. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were rather higher, viz. 981 to 984 ; the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 97i to 97t- ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced, 88 to 88k. There was a moderate business doing in the Foreign Bonds, the average prices being about the same as yes terday, though in a few instances a shade better. Spa nish Active Stock ranged from 23i- to 23i for money, and from 231 to 23,- for the Account. Portuguese New Five per Cents. ranged from 35i to 36 ; the Three per Cents., from 22i to 22a ; Colom bian Stock of 1824 was worth 25i to 254 ; and Mexi can of 1837, 29 7 1, the former being a shade better, and the latter without alteration. Belgian Old Five per Cents. were at a decline from 97 4 1 7 to 98 and 971 ; Dutch Two-and-adialf per Cents. were steady at 511 to 51i; French Five per Cents. declined to 109 f. 50c.; the Three per Cents, were at 78 ; Danish Stock dropped to 771 to 77.1: ; and Chilian rallied from 55 to 57 and 58. _ For the Railway Shares there was a brisk market ; but the tendency of prices was not decided. Great Western Railway Shares were steady at 17 to 19 premium ; the New at 7 premium ; the Fifth at to 44- premium ; the London and Birmingham at 73 ; the New at 21i ; and the South WesZern at 13 to 142- premium. Brighton Shares were sold at 131 to 13i ; Croydon 2".1 to 2 ; Manchester and Birmingham at 12 ; Midland Counties at 291 ; Eastern Counties at 144 to 14i, and the Bristol and Exeter at 254 to discount. London Joint-Stock Bank Shares were at , 2 a premium, and National Bank of Ireland Shares at 1 discount. The Foreign Exchanges were rather fl tt this after noon. Bills on Paris woo taken.at 251.52 c. to 57 c., en Ain.terdam at 1t 2i to 12 24, on Harr:burgh at 'l3 8 to 13 71, and on Frankfurt at 14Si to 149. spliuT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. ( From the Morning Herald.) We challenge the Morning Post to produce the proofs to which it alludes of the Morning Herald ,er having consented to the principle of the Irish cihal Reform Bill. Of course eve are not answeiii,ile any more than our Conteenporarie.s for the opinions of correspondents. We call for proofs of what the Post as*erts, from our editorial articles. The Post says that " the Standard and Herald, in common with the Titnes and Post, fought for a whole Session the battle of the 101. against the 5/. franchise in the new trish corporations, in the well-founded conviction that the contest was now reduced to that issue, and in the spirit and language of acquiesce.nee that it should be so held." We deny the assertion of the Post as far as we: are concerned. We never did, directly or indirectly, ac quiesce in the principle of the Bill for destroying the Protestant corporations of Ireland, and transferring their functions to repi•alers and ribandinen. On the contrary, we rrststcd and denounced ill surrender cowpromise. We [lever thought that e could render ,ifi•rvwe to Protestant interests by assiot'lig Got crnor Luiltly to open the gates of D,..rry to the etietnies of the l'i-utestent hire and Cor,litution. (From the Times.) It has suddenly occurred to the Globe newsp.iper, not only that the Protestantism of England is placed in imminent jeopardy just now, but that the whole danger is to be attributed to the Conservative party, who are alleged to be deeply imbued with Popery. Thus, we are told by that profound and original authority, that " Toryism and Popery have a natural affinity with each other. Toryism is hostile to the tendencies of popular government, Popery to the tendency of individual judg ment. The Oxford tracts and their kindred publica tions arc exhibitions of the essential Popery of To ryism. * * # Oxford Popery has, already secured several of the principal Tory organs. Under the cover of an attack on the Whigs, they are continually inculcating the principles of Popery, and advocating its customs „end observances. The Tories have helped and preached the worst doctrines and usages of Papists. Nay, have we not heard the Bishop of London himself, in the debate on subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles, deny that the Protestant Reformation was founded on the right of private judgment and free inquiry ? The task of combating this revived Popery will be left to the Whigs, who, the Tories may be assured, will be true to their principles of Protestantism." Now, before we can do justice to these unparalleled novelties, we feel bound to say that they make two important concessions to Toryism which, though doubtless not contemplated by their ingenious inventor, it would be scandalously un grateful on our part to refrain from acknowledging. In the first place, a rumour has long been propagated in cer t sin quarters that the popularity of the Whigs is such a a to have reduced Toryism to the last degree of dis c, -edit and impotence. This mistake we have been e s ideavouring for some time to correct : and now the ve ry Globe itself has either become painfully conscious o f the advancing ascendancy of the Popish Tories, or els% in the present instance it has sounded a very un met, fling alarm. In the second place, the Whig papers have long contended that the Tories, in consequence of k being the high Protestant party, are utterly incompe tent to undertake the government of Ireland. In allu sten to this, the same papers have often made Sir Robert Peers " chief difficulty" the subject of party perversion and party taunts. But they are now getting better in formed. They have ascertained at last that Toryism to Popery," that, in point has such " a natural affinity of fact, a Tory Government would be more congenial with the prevalent superstition of the Irish than even a Whig one : and in this way the Globe has made itself . instrumental in removing another absurd prejudice igainst the accession of a Conservative Ministry. (From the Morning Chronicle.) A curious article appeared in yesterday's Times, ar,aropos to a rumour said to have been afloat in the C ity, of the formation of a Coalition Ministry. The T: ernes ascribes the alleged rumour to " feelers" put for th "by underlings about the Treasury." The irst C.' feeler" of the sort that we have noticed ap- I. reared in its own columns some three months ago, o r there abouts. The notion of coalition can have no of her th an a Tory origin. It corresponds with the ch taractet istic unprincipledness of the party. It ea rtu rally results from the weariness of procrastinated . he pe s. Sc asion after ses sion have the emoluments of .ofh:ct s been promised to the impatient waiters upon - Proi idence. Every Tory oracle has again and agetic predicted the coming restoration, only to have its "ophecy falsified by the event. The T imes took advez tage of the approach of the almanack season to play is part amongst those political Murphys, and fixed 1 ~aster as the period when its faction should have "alma t this time, more or less," of what they so eagerly t.ov e t. But the craven camp followers lack faith. " The _ hungry; sheep look up and are not fed." In spite c,f 1 )ositive assurances, they are willing to coin ipo a n d. Better half a loaf than no victual at all. No cide r tha t rumours arise of coalitions ; or that the :714 eg endeavours to allay the eagerness and stay the , .7""mae ha o f th e desperate p a rtisans who are willing to ..beltev e in such a monstrosity. We called the Times' .leader curious, on acenunt of the dexterity with which t seen is t o discountenaoce and denounce coalition, and ) et cot striv e to render prominent and impressive what -52' .er tvour s the notion. CHRONICLE,—Tne Share Market was steady to-day, with more business, but no material alteration in price. The portion of the new Belgian loan intended for the London msrket, was brought out to-day.

But there appears to us something altoge ther so whimsical in the assumption that the balance of power in Europe depends on the power of that old sol dier in Egypt, that we cannot forbear saying a word or two more on the subject. If this is really the case, the balance of power has got into rather strange com pany, and must be owned to be placed in somewhat of a tremulous situation. What is to become of it, failing Mehemet Ali and Ibrahim ? Or does the balance of power reside—not in the person of Mehe met Ali—but in the organisation of what M. de Came, in the Revue des Deu.v'Mondes, calls " the germ of a power on the Nile and the Euphrates, raising itself like a barrier between the two halves of the gigantic empire of England." Is it the raising of such a barrier against England that is imagined the essential point ?—and is it the fact that England has occasion to pass through these regions to her Eastern possessions, that at once suggests as the proper aim of French policy to bar her passage ! This were in deed a proper dog-in-the-manger policy for a great nation—holding forth no prospect of advantage to France, but hindrance to England ! When will na tions learn that mere obstruction to others is no promising or permissible object of policy—that to seek to impede others in their route does not advance themselves—and that, alter all, the attempt is of that aature which must be unsuccessful, as the direction im pressed on national efforts by positive interests is stronger, and more continuous, than the mere nega tive promptings of jealousy. If nations would but devote to real pursuits of their own all the efforts they waste in seeking to impede those of others, the " balance of power" would, in the end, be better preserved amongst them—that is to say, all who had any power would de velope it without violence, and therefore without injury, to the progress of others. (From the Standard.) A distinguished artillery officer, whose writings on topics connected with his profession have excited de served attention, has addressed to us the following valu able suggestion, the adoption of which would, we have little doubt, prevent many serious railroad collisions. Nothing can be simpler or easier in practice than the sort of telegraphic communication recommended by our correspondent ; ROCKET AND BLUE-LIGHT SIGNALS FOR RAILROADS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " STANDARD." Sir,—Will you permit me, through the medium of the Standard, to suggest to directors of railroads the use of rockets and pyrotechnical blue-lights, as means of esta bishing a code of signals on the various lines ? Thus, if a train be delayed at night when en route, either from accident to the train, from the road being impass able from drifted snow, or from the rail being defective— if a blue light were to be ignited by one of the guards, its blaze of light would be a beacon to approaching trains, even in a fog, and be seen more distinctly and at a far greater distance than the coloured lamps now in use. Dis abled or retarded trains could throw up any preconcerted number of rockets to telegraph to the destined station the cause of detention and the nature of the assistance required. For this purpose all trains should carry with them . boxes of blue lights and rockets, up and down-trains being distin guished by rockets having different coloured stars. Even in the day-time bang-rockets might be used as signals. Indeed, by means of rockets a telegraph might be esta blished from one end of a line to the. other, which would convey information in a few minutes, both by day and night, even from London to Uvrpool. ÜBIQUE. (From the Courier.) The day was, when the Scotsman pointed with pride and exultation to his " Church" as the noblest instru ment in sustaining Scotland's name among the nations, and boasted of her excellence, as acknowledged by all the world. Over the brightness of that day there has come a heavy and a darkening cloud, ever since the reign of Non-intrusion commenced ; and the Kirk, from being, as she was under her once pious and humble Ministers, the fountain of all that was good and orderly, loyal and peaceable in the land, is becoming, under the present race of " agitators," the nursery of a spiritual pride and faaaticsm which are truly intolerable, lording it over th e consciences of men, and, under the mask of re storing " the Headship of Christ," and " the liberties of his redeemed people," to the place from which, forsooth, the " moderate" councils of other days had impiously expelled them—disturbing alike the civil and religious institutions of the empire, and threatening, if not time ously checked, to overwhelm them in one common ruin. We have said nothing of the s pectacle, now every day to be seen in Scotland, of clergymen deserting the flecks, which they have solemnly sworn to Iced ; wan dering over the country ; and, under the most awful forms of religion itself, striving to tear asunder the ties of affection that have for nearly half a century knit to- i gether the pastors and people of other parishes, because they bend not their necks under a yoke which the law of the' land has declared to be illegal ; and which the very leader of tie " agitators" has said that it must be abolished! In this unhallowed work the instruments of the 'General Assembly—or rather its" tyrant majority"— may be proving hut too successful ; for what worth or virtue lives there, that under such incessant attacks, commenced and carried on in the name of religion, by the very fathers of th , Church of Scotland, can be ex. peered to siUrvive ? ilappi!y the ( lay of deliverance from such outrages or) .11 that is decent, orrier!, air , 1 Christian, ehich a pu in.,11,, end hitherto peaceable ' district of the conotry is no:e witnessing, cannot be far diAaflt, The voice of ;!ii indignant public utast cad loudly for the law in that corner of the empire being respected ; the decrees of the Judges honoured : and the men who obey them, shielded from a persecution, not the less odious, that it is under the fanatical pre text of maintaining " Christ's Crown and Kingdom ;" and Parliament, when it meets again, will be no longer indifferent to what is now going on in Scotland.

Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL obtained a rule in this case, which, he said, has been years before the Court, to show cause why the plaintiff, Dr. Wade, should not repay into Court the money which he has received on account of the case.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Jane Fisher, alias White, and Ann Smith, two well known begging-letter hawkers, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having very deliberately pur sued their a vocation in the City. The first had a child in her arms, and has been long celebrated for being able to burst out into tears at a moment's notice. She gave an instance of her power in that particular line on being brought up, .for down streamed the tears in great abundance o ver her infant. I n fact, judging from her appearance in the Justice-room, such an exhibition in the streets must have had the effect of melting any heart. The other was the per former of a subordinate, but also an effective part in the piece, for she was in the habit of stopping to gaze with pity upon misery which she could not relieve ; and the child, which was about three months old, hired for the day, completed the group. The officer watched them enterisig the houses of gentlemen well known for their benevolence, and ascertained they had been soli.'!it ing charity by means of letters and petitions, as well es by the natural eloquence of their tears. Luke Kearney, an officer of the Mendicity Society, deposed that he knew them both well, as flagrant im postors. The husband carried on the same trade very extensively. Ann Smith was just out of Bridewell, where she had served a month for begging. Witness had upon one occasion apprehended her, and, while a female searcher was examining her clothes, she con trived to chew and swallow almost the whole of a sheet of foolscap, on which the history of a calamity which had befallen he: dead husband had been pathetically described. When witness endeavoured to prevent her from devouring the last bit she almost bit the point of his finger off. The woman declared that they were willing to go to labour if they could get work to do, but what on earth was to be done when there were many more labourers than could be employed. The Mendicity officer declared that he knew them to be at the business, and so successfully for the last five years, that to expect they would go to work was quite ridiculous. In truth, they had been regularly educated in it, and were fit for nothing else. The Lott]) MaYoit feared that they had a good deal of skill in the trade, and ordered each to the treadmill for two months. A pauper c himney-sweeper, named Goodman, and his wife, were charged by Mr. Richards, the master of the Peckham-grove house, into which the poor of some of the City parishes are received, with having run away, taking with them the clothes belonging to the establishment. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the defendants had any other clothes to ‘!ear ? 'The Master said their own clothes were tied up in a bundle at the house, and they might, of c ourse, have put them on and departed without meeting with any impediment. Theirebject, how ever, as was the case with several, was to get hold of the clothes, and no use could be made of those which they had left behind, lor nobody would dress himself like a sweep, and as they i. , vele men and wife, the woman's were as black as the mans.- 7 (A lau g h.) Mr. Thwaites , the Relieving Overseer of the City of London Union, stated that it was quite common with idle fellows to get o rders to go int o Peckham-house, in order to run away with the comfortable clothes they re ceived. The male prisoner had done so before, and both man and wife set the parish authorities at deti ince. The woman said that bcgvng Mr. Thwait e s and Mr. Richard's pardon they were a pair of uncommon liars. It w a s true she had the dirty rags of the establishment upon her back, but she longed to get rid of them, and to get into her ovn decent covering which she had left at Peckham. She really thought she had got some ugly company in the Peckham wardrobe.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR (to Mr. Thwaites)—You say these people are troublesome to you in this way ? Mr. Thwaites—Very much so, my Lord. They will not work, and their abuse is quite intolerable. The Woman—Now you know that's as great a lie as ever was told. It's too civil we are to such rascals as you.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR.—They must go to Bridewell for fourteen days. The Woman (to Mr. Richards)—Well, old fellow, I suppose you'll let me have my clothes that's in your crib when I come out ? Mr. Richards—Certainly, if you leave those you took away in their place. The Woman—What for? What am I going to have fourteen days for ? An't it for the clothes I took away ? The LORD MAYOR—You must return the clothes you you left behind. will not let you have those Thetoo k, o wo rmla Woman—Well , e _ w s e a Iyl they I'm sure that's any thing but but justice ! What ! Lock me up, and keep my clothes too I I'm blest if that an't the rummest justice I ever saw, an'tit, Bill ? The Husband—lt an't fair justice, by no means; but it's all b ecause we are poor un f ortu . nate chimbleyrsweepers. It's a profession as is going out of fashion, but we'll see how they'll do without the live climbers. I'm blest if they don't be all as black as we presently. The LORD MAYOR—You may consider yourselves very Woman—Thank luckyoinagnettiTnghaonk you,nlyfour my ee Lord nda ; we don'tys'imprisonment. The thank these fellows. They then walked off, perfectly satisfied at this decision° BOW-STREET. Henry Rawlings and George Hollings, apparently coal-heavers, were yesterday brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with attempting to raise contributions for cha ritable purposes under false pretences. Mr. Wilki ns on, 44, Lincoln's Inn-fields, solicitor, stated, that about 12 o'clock yesterday, the de fendants, strangers to him, called at his chambers, and presented a petition, attached to which were about thirty names of persons, some of whom he was ac quainted with, on behalf, as they said, of one of their body, who had broken his leg on Saturday last. The defendant Rawlings said, that the injured man was in the habit of taking away the dust for them, and resided in Clements-lane. The other defendant then said that the poor man's wife expected to be confined very shortly, and witness told them that he had so frequently been imposed upon by such representations, he could not afford any relief until he heard more about it. They had said that they had obtained all the subscriptions since Saturday night, and it was the first time they had ever made such applica tions, but he still refused to give any thing, and they went away taking the petition with them. An inquiry was subsequently set on foot; and from the information witness obtained, he had taken them into custody. George Hayward, clerk to Mr. Wilkinson, proved that about two years back Hollings came to him with a similar story, and, believing it to be true, he gave him a shilling. A friend of his had drawn up a petition on that occasion, and several sums had been received as charitable contributions. Paul Garth, law-stationer's apprentice, remembered, about two years ago, Hollings applied to him to draw up a petition for some man who had broken his leg and collar-bone. The defendant had called upon him several times since, and requested he would recopy the petition, which he did. The last time was about a fortnight ago, when he stated the petitioner's name to be Adams. Witness was quite sure of the defendant's identity. Mr. Ilderton, 43, Lincoln's Inn-fields, solicitor, stated that about six weeks back two roan, dressed as coal-heavers, brought a petition to him, which they represented was on behalf of a man who had frac tured some limb, and he gave them a shilling. A few days afterwards Hollings called at his office and pre sented a petition, which he said was on behalf of a man who had broken his arm, and upon whom a wife and six children were depending for support, but he refused to give him anything. Constable Forbes, 136 F, took the defendant into custody, when Hollings told him to go to 19, Clement's lane, and he would there find that a friend of his was lyi n g ill with a broken leg ; but on proceeding there he could find no such person, nor e,as the defendant known there. The defendant denied the charge, and Mr. JARDINE said it was very seldom a case of this kind was brought home so closely as it was against Hollings. The case showed the manner in which such petitions were usually manufactured, and he considered it worse, if possible, than a case of robbery ; because hypocrisy was added to an offence tantamount to robbery ; and he had no hesitation in inflicting the full punishment upon Hollings, which was imprisonment and hard labour for three months in the House of Correction, but as the other defendant appeared to be connected with one case only, he should be sent to hard labour for ono month. HAIVII3OII.Cin MAIL FROM THE UKItAINF',, Ocr. —Sxne xvocks a g o, three rich an:l ,li;jll.. : uished nol.oerneti of Yodolii J. Von lileitJoroAsk;, M. Von Gadotrski, and anoth, r, were suddenly arrested and conveyed to Kiew. Letters had fallen into the hands of the Government, addressed by the arrested noblemen to Polish emigrants, which are said to prove that they were engaged in an illicit correspondence, and that M. Von Raciborowski had offered or already paid a very considerable sum to the emigrants. This is the ground of their arrest. But as these gentlemen were never before in the least sus pected by the Government, and have remained entirely passive in all the critical circumstance that have oc curred ; and as M. Von R. is not considered as being remarkably liberal, nobody in Podolia doubts their innocence. It is generally believed that a malicious intriguer has been at work. It may be expected from the justice of the Governor General Von Bibikow, that the authors of this wicked act will be arrested and punished. Here, too, it is reported that Field Marshal Paskewitch is to take the command of the, Southern army, but only on the occasion of important events. No extraor dinary movement is perceived in the Military Colonies of the South Western Governments. Two divisions of Cavalry (eight regiments with artillery) which are as sembled for the usual autumnal reviews at Wesnosensk have just returned to their usual quarters. HANOVER, Nov. 14.—The attachment of the public to the Croy; n Prince was manifested yesterday in an af fecting manner. He appeared yesterday for the first time since he underwent the painful and dangerous ope ration, in the Court Theatre. The young Prince had scarcely entered his box when he was saluted with joyful acclamations from all parts of the house, which almost overpowered the orchestra, which performed God Save the King. His Royal Highness bowed in the most af fable manner to all sides of the house and staid till the end of the Opera Lucia di Lammermoor, which was performed by our company in the Italian language. VIENNA, NOV. 10.—We have received news from the Turkish capital up to the 28th of last month. A Tatar hada arrived there in an uncommonly short time from Koniah, with the important intelligence, " That th e line of the Taurus had been abandoned by the Egyp tian troops, which had left behind all their artillery and military stores ; the Egyptian troops of Ibrahim Paella, that occupied the Kulik-Bogaz, and the other passes of the Taurus in advance, having suddenly broken up, and in detached disorganised bands taken the road to Syria. It seems, indeed, that the great Egyptian Power in the East would vanish more rapidly than the most sanguine expectation had calculated. No news of importance has arrived from the theatre of operations in Syria. Prussian State Gazette, Nov. 16. Inscription, H tpee Russian s ills. Money Aus • tr ian 5 Per tents.

TIIE WINES OF SYRIA.—Wine of excel!ent quality is produced by some of the Convents on Mount Lebanon, and is known b t h e name of " Vino d'Oro." It is both red and white, an d is very superior when pro perly attended to; though the habit of boiling wine, which is stated to be almost universal, and the use of skins for bolding it, prevent it att a i n i n g any very hi g h degree of excellence. Within the last few years a considerable in crease has taken place in the cultivation of the wine at Tripoli, Latakia, and to the south ; and, in fact, the plan tation has been extended in every part of Syria that was deemed susceptible of its culture. TEETOTAL FUNERAL.—On Sunday after noon a good deal of interest was excited by the appearance in the streets, o 7 a funeral attended by several thousand persons, male and female, almost all members of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society. The deceased was a female, and a member of the Society, and her brothers and sisters of the Association had t hus turned out to mark their respect for her memory. The mou rners had a some_ what motley appearance ; nevertheless, the pro cession was conducted in the most decoro us and solemn manner. It proceeded along Gallowgate to the Ca tholic bur y in g_ ground at the east end of the c it y ; and on the arrival of the body at the grave a prayer was offered up. During this i o!ernnity the entire body of fo!lowers knelt in the burying. ground, presenting to the eye of the spectator a scene of novel, but, at the same time, affecting interest.itere. There could not be fewer than five thousand p the place of interment. —Glasgow Argus. WRECK OF THE CITY OF BRIS TOL STEAMER-THIRTY-FIVE LIVES LOST. BRISTOL, FRIDAY MORNlNG.—lnformation has just reached this city of the total loss of the City of Bristol steamer, Captain Stacey, trading between this port and Cork, and belonging to the Bristol General Steam Navigation Company, and one of the largest Irish traders. The intelligence was brought this morning by the Tenby steamer, Captain Gerard, which was gathered from the only survivor of the thirty-six souls who were on hoard. He is an Irish pig -drover, and was washed ashore on the Welsh coast, but he is yet too weak to give much information, or to bear the journey to Bris tol ; but if he is sufficiently recovered, he will be brought up by the mail to-night, when more particulars will be learnt. All that we at present know is the fact of the wreck, and the survivor states there were thirty-six on btard, and that she was wrecked in the gale of Wed nesday night, off Worm's Head, between Swansea and Tenby, on the Welsh coast. I shall lose no time in collecting and forwarding you all the information to be had. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DOWNING-STREET, Nov. 20, 1840.

COFFEE.-Importers of British Plantation having re frained from offering any at public sale this week have prevented prices from going down, but the demand pri vately has been limited, and confined to only small parcels of clean sorts to supply the immediate wants of the trade, and the market yet wears a dull aspect ; no auction an nounced for next week. The home trade have evinced little desire to purchase East India or Cape kinds, and prices have given way for most sorts. This afternoon the operations in Coffee for home use were confined to the public sales, which comprized 211 bags Ceylon, 83 casks 10 barrels Jamaica, 250 bales Mocha, 120 casks St. Jago de Cuba and 700 bags Cape descriptions. and at which the trade evinced little desire to purchase ; Ceylon sold at 73s 6d for good ordinary, being '-tehed full prices„ viz. middling in at 1203 to 130 s for good and Cuba at 90 . to 95i for mid co •dinary 806 to 8 i.

For auction on Tuesday, 9,000 packages are declared. RicE.-Bengal is held firmly for previous rates, good and fine white sorts have been sought after at 13s to 14s 6d, but of such the supply at market is small, for the lower kinds there are, however, few buyers; and the whole of 1,301 bags at public sale was taken in at 13s for middling yellowish white, being above the value, since which 12s 9d has been refused. Java is held for former prices, but there has been little business done pri vately. None has been offered at auction.

By private contract a considerable quantity of new Valencia Raisins have been taken off this week, the price having been reduced to 403, the buyers picking the finest parcels, and a large portion of the present stock consisting of only middling Fruits. Turkey pulled Figs also got off freely at 603 to 70 as to quality, and fine Sultanas at 60s to 655. For Currants the demand is rather improving, but the arrivals have been very large, and the quality of both the Morea and Island Fruit being of a mixed character, the buyers take them very cautiously, and prices are con sidered rather unsteady, in consequence of the large sales advertised for next week. This afternoon 262 butts 148 caroteels Currants were offered at auction, and a small part only sold; Patras at 703 to 745, and Cephalonia at 65s to 693 per cwt. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum market has presented a quiet aspect since we last wrote, and al though there are sellers Id to l d under former rates, still the demand for both Jamaica and Leewards has been very limited, and the sales are not worth enumerating, for proof Leewards 3s has been accepted. The arrivals have been 200 puns since last Friday ; some large parcels of East India are near at hand.
