tate of marriage, in order to sustain a claim to the wages of
a seaman, James Gardiner, knowing it to be forged.—
The practice in the pay-office at Deconport, when seamen
wished to allot any portion of their wages under the pros+
sions of the act 11th Oro. IV. c. 20, was for the seamen to
sign two allotment papers, being duplicates. The captain
forwards one to the Admiralty, and the other is kept by the
seder, that be may give it to the person for whose benefit
the portion of the pay is allotted; and where the wife of the
seaman is the party mentioned in the allotment paper, be.
fore she can obtain the portion of the pay or prize money,
she must produce her marriage certificate, and when
produced, the allotment paper which she produces
is compared with the one which had been for-
warded by the captain, and if found to be correct
a receipt is given, on the production of which to another
clerk the money is paid. On the 11th August the prisoner
went to the pay-office and presented an allotment paper
signed by James Gardiner, whereby he allotted to his wife
61. out of his wages. The prisoner also produced a document
purporting to be a certificate of the marriage of James Gar-
diner. The allotment paper which the prisoner produced
was compared with the duplicate which had been forwarded
to the office, and was found to be correct. The clerk then
gave her a receipt, which she took to the cashier, and re-
ceived the money. Some time afterwards it appeared that
the prisoner was the wife of another man, William Jenkins,
and not of Gardiner, although she had for some time been
living with him as his wife, until he joined the Avenger
schooner in the royal navy, which was subsequently lost,
sad the crew perished excepting one officer and
thi ea seamen. James Gardiner it appeared, was
one of those who were lost. 'the allotment papers
were in Gertliner's handwriting, which the prisoner
had produced at the pay-office, and the clerk stated that the
money so paid to the prisoner would have been deducted
front Gardioer's wages, had the voyage been completed.—
The parish clerk of St. Andrew's, Plymouth, was called to
prove the marriage of the prisoner with her former husband,
and also that the certificate of marriage which she had pro-
duced, and which was in his handwriting, bad b• en altered
in the names and dates; the name of Jenkins having been
altered to Gardiner. When the prisoner was apprehended
she admitted that her name was Jenkins, but said that a
woman of the name of Hanley had made the alterations in
the certificate, and afterwards, because she would not give
her a pound, had informed agait at her, and that she was
prevented from marrying Gardiner, there not being suffi-
cient time before he went to sec —The jury found the pri-
soner'Guilly of uttering the certificate, knowing it to be
forged.—Mr. Slade moved for arrest of judgment on a point
of law.—The learned judge said that he would consult with
Hr. Justice Wightman, and would reserve his decision until
to-morrow.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yoae, MARCH 20.
Civic Bms.—Bsiore Mr. Baron Alderson.
BILLAM D. ANDHEWS.—SLANDSIA—This was an action
for slander, to which the defendant pleaded—first, that he
was not guilty; and, secondly. that the language he had used
was true. The parties were both in the employ of Messrs.
Fouche and Rochetta, soap manufacturer., at Shipley, at d
on the 27th of April last a conversation was entered into by
a rather numerous party, at the Sun Inn, in Bradford, in
reference to the quality of the soap manufactured by this
firm. In the course of that conversation the plaintiff's same
was introduced, whereupon the defendant said "
BiWs
is a rogue, a thief, and • swindler; we have it in our
power to transport him. and we should have done so, but on
account of Mrs. Willem and her family." At this time the
plaintiff was in treaty with a Mr. Mosso= to get for him a
more important situation, and who haying beard this declara-
tion by the defendant, he told the plaintiff that until he
cleared himself of the accusation. he should not feel justified
in recommending him. The plaintiff, accordingly, through
his attorney, called upon the defendant to make a public
apology, and, on his refusing to do so, he brought this
action. The defendant now set up • justircation, but the
jury, in the end, found for the plaintiff; damages 40s.
ORSEN WOOD C. al ITCH ELL.—ANOTH ER SLASHER.—
The plaintiff in this case is surgeon to the Bradford poor law
anion, and the defendant is a corn-miller at that place.
The plaintiff had a housekeeper who got married, but she
could not live with her husband, and plaintiff took her back,
upon which the defendant, who is one of the poor-law
guardians, went to a meeting of the board, and stated
that the plaintiff, who was surgeon to the union, was
living in e-ultery. with another man's wife. This was
the slander complained of, the plaintiff by this action seek-
ing.to vindicate his character. At the conclusion of the
plaintiff's case, a conference took place, and it was agreed
to withdraw a juror, the defendant acknowledging that
there was not the slightest ground for the imputation.
WRATHALL D. GARTH.—BRRACH OP PROMISS OP MAU-
RIA 06.—The plaintiff is about 43 years of age, and resides
at Thornscross, near Pateley.bridge ; the defendaat is a
game-watcher and small farmer, residing in the adjoining
township of Thornthwaite. The action was for breach of
promise of marriage. The damages were laid at 1,0001
The defendant pleaded the general issue ; also, that the
plaintiff had been guilty of gross acts of immorality, and
that she was the mother of several illegitimate children to
which she gave birth after the alleged promise ; he also
pleaded the statute of limitations.—Mr. Baron Alderson
strongly urged that the case was one which ought to be de-
cided out of court.—The learned counsel on both sides (Mr.
ffinj. Wilkins and Mr. Martin) quite concurred with his
lordship, and, after some delay, it was arranged that the
plaintiff was to receive 501. in full discharge of damages and
coats. Consequently she will, in all probability, gain a loss.
Cowin. Cody.—Before Mr. Baron Rolfe.
MURDER AT THE Lines BARRACICS.IChaII SlOlOB, ?A
was charged with having, on the 20th of January last, at
Leeds, wilfully murdered Mary Ana Garrad, by shooting
her.—The prisoner pleaded " Not guilty "in • firm tone.—
The following evidence was adduced:—William Gaffed,
husband of the deceased, deposed He was a private of the
57th Regiment of Foot, and, on the 20th of January, wee
stationed at the Leeds Barracks. At that time the prisoner
was also a private in the same regiment. Witness and his
wife, on the day in question, occupied a room in which the
prisoner and two or three other soldiers also lived. On the
evening of the 20th, he, his wife, the prisoner, J. Dooley,
and W. Keenan, were present in that room. Oarrad ob-
served Stokes doing something to his gun. A short tints
having elspeed, he heard the report of a musket, and, on
turning round, saw the musket drop from the prisoner's
hands, end his wife felling against the closet door. The
latter exclaimed, " The Lord have mercy on me, what
have you done ? " Oarrad then went up to the prisoner
and said, " What have you done ? you have shot my wife,
I'll load my piece and shoot you." Stokes said, " Load it."
He then went and picked his wife up, and laid her on the
bed. Dooley and Keenan then seized the prisoner. Witness
i examined her person, and found that she had • wound in
the abdomen, from which blood was issuing. Mr. Jackson,
the surgeon to the regiment, was then sent for. She died
at half-past eight. Cron-examined by Mr. Dearsley :
Had
known the prisoner before the murder three months and
twenty days. Nine persons lived in the room in which he
(witness) resided. Married and single live in the same
room. His wife had been in his presence all the even-
ing of the 20th. Saw the prisoner about half an hour before
his wife was shot, lying on • form. Had not been intimate
with Stokes any more than with the other soldiers. Never
had any quarrel with the prisoner, neither had his wife.
The prisoner very rarely spoke to any soldier. He was a
very closeminded man. He was a very ill-tempered man,
and disagreeable. There was a bayonet wrenched from him
once. Did not know at that time that he was attempting
to take his own life. Did not know that the prisoner
ever attempted to put his head into the fire. The prisoner
never told him that he had bad fits. After the prisoner dis-
charged his musket he delivered himself up to the sergeant.
late room there is an armoury rack, where the muskets '
sad bayonets are placed. Recollects that the prisoner once
applied to be admitted into the hospital, on the ground of
ill health, but was refused. Never beard him complain of
having pains in his head.
William Keenan, a private in the 57th Reit., was in the
room when the deceased was shot. Having deposed to the
facts spoken to by the previous witness, he said the prisoner
was in the room from five till about seven, and spent part of
his time in lying upon • form. lie was awake, but had his
eyes shut, and he opened his eyes from time to time, and
looked at me. Saw the prisoner leave the armoury
rack with his musket, alter which he commenced
cleaning it. Saw him lift the firelock up a little, and
then heard the lock "click." Immediately after saw
him raise the piece breast high, point it towards the de-
ceased, and then beard the report. From what witness saw
he was of opicion that it was fired intentionally. Prisoner
then threw it at witness's feet, saying "There now, I'm
satisfied." After that he eurrendered himself immediately,
reaching out both his hands for the purpose of being taken.
Searched for lead, and found two small pieces, quite in the
fire-place, flattened. They were thrown into the fire, wit-
ness thinking they were of no importance.—Cross-examined
by Mr. Dearsley : Knew that the prisoner attempted to
commit suicide when he was drunk. He appeared much
excited. Saw him the same night attempt to place his ban&
in the fire. Slept in the same room with Stokes, but did not
remember him attempting to commit suicide with a bayonet.
—By the Judge : The handcuffs were taken off about four
o'clock the next morning. lie made no further attempts at
self-destruction when be was sober. The handcuffs were
pat on because he was drunk and went raging about the
guard-room. When taken there he attempted to strike
some of the escort.
J. Dooley, also a private In the regiment, and who was
present when the occurrence took place, corroborated the
evidence of the previous witnesses.
T. Jones, a private in the 57th, deposed—Was sentry at
the guard-room when the prisoner was taken there on the
20th of January, and asked the prisoner U ho was sorry for
what he had done. Prisoner said "No." Witness then
asked him if he intended to shoot Mrs. tarred, to which he
replied that be intended to do it two months before. Asked
I Stokes if he had any spite against Gored or his wife. He
I said " It didn't matter, as he should tell no one but the
priest." I believe be is a Roman catholic. Told prisoner
that Mrs. °erred had died, to which the prisoner replied,
" Now he could die happy, as he had not rested three nights
previously." Asked him when he loaded his musket. He
said that he wanted to load it at two o'clock, but he could
I not get a chance; that he loaded it at five ; that he shot the
woman at seven ; that after he had loaded his piece he placed
it in the armoury rack. Asked hem in • joking way if he
would tell the "secret."
Patrick O'Dell, sergeant of the 57th regiment, inspected
the semsaition of the prisoner. He ought to have had six
plea albeit cartridge, with ten charges in each packet.
Only hand five pagkages. Found one charge on his bed
and eight in his haversack. One round was therefore miss-
ing. Soldiers are strictly prohibited from having their
muskets loaded in the armoury. The packages were given
to the prisoner and the other soldiers at Weedon in May
last year, since which time no bell cartridge had been May
by the privates. By the Judge: Stoke* always did his
regular duties as a soldier.
Ottiwell Kell, police officer, of Leeds, produced the
clothes of the deceased (through which the ball trout the

prisoner's musket had entered), the pouch, and ammunition.
Looked on the 21st of January at the back of the fireplace,
and there observed a mark which had the appearance of
sore bard substance having struck it.
Mr. J. Jackson, assistant-surgeon of the 57th Regiment of
Foot, was called to attend the deceased, when he found •
small wound in the abdomen, such as would be caused by a
musket ball. The ball went through her body. She died
about half-past eight.—Cneeelantined by Mr. Deareley
Never noticed the prisoner in particular. Had directed his
attention to insanity amongst other subjects. Was ac-
quainted with the works of Esquirol, Marc, Pritchard, and
others. Insanity was divided into four classes. [The witness
went into details on this subject, which need not be reported]
Men frequently may have insane impulses. An insane im-
pulse may exist which may entirely take away a man's
eel
The The Judge : I wonder who has found that out.—Mr.
Deareley : It is laid down by Pritchard that ••person may
be labouring under an insane impulse which may deprive
him at that moment of self-control.—The Judge: Even
supposing the hangman were standing by him to
execute him for it?—Mr. Jackson: Yes.—There may
be • thousand more madmen now in France since the
revolution than there were before, chiefly arising
from exciting causes. Such was no
tke n at the last
revolution, and he supposed it would be so. The treat-
' ment of insanity is now very different from what it used to
be. There were now no dungeons, no straw, and no chains.
Insanity is a very difficult subject of study. A man labour-
ing under homicidal monomania may exhibit its symptoms
very forcibly when intoxicated.
Mr. Wm. Price, surgeon, of Leeds, underwent • long ex-
amination relative to insanity, but his answers being so simi-
lar to those of Mr. Jackson, we think it needless to give his
evidence at length.
Mr. Deanley then addressed the jury for the prisoner,
resting the defence on the want of any motive which could
have instigated any sane man to commit such an offence,
and on the prisoner's probable insanity.
Mr. Baron Rolfe, in summing op, said that there could be
no doubt that the prisoner discharged the gun at the de-
ceased. That being so, he was guilty of murder, unless the
jury were of opinion that he was intone. They had heard
a great deal about homicidal mania, and other manias, and
the speculatinns of eminent men, who had said that a man
may be moved by a sadden impulse to murder another,
not having then any control over his actions.
He, the learned judge, was at a loss to know
how they arrived at that conclusion—how they could
dive into the hidden motives of a man's mind. The jury
were to be satisfied whether the prisoner was capable of dis-
tinguishing between right and wrong. It had been said by
the learned counsel for the prisoner that they were to 414101110
him to he inane because they could not discover the motive
which had 'pirated upon the prisoner. Now it too fre-
quently happened that offences were committed with little
or no motive, and he conceived it was a very dangerous doe
trine for the peace of society to contend that because a man
perpetrated a dreadful crime without apparent motive, he
should therefore be deemed insane.
The jury, after a very brief consultation, returned a 'MT-
diet of Guilty. The prisoner, being asked if he had any-
thing to say why sentence of death should not be passed
upon him, said, " I hope, my lord, you will hive mercy upon
me."—Mr. Baron Rolfe then pronounced sentence of death.

POLICE.-YESTERDAY.
BOW-STREET.-SOLICITINO ADvERTifieIiENTS POE
EXTINCT PERIDDICALs.-A. Green was again charged
with obtaining. money from several persons under the
pretence of inserting advertisements in the news-
papers, particularly in the Parliamentary Chronicle,
of which ho was proprietor.-Mr. Hales, of the pamphlet
department of the Stamp-office, in Somerset-house rated,
that the periodical in question had not been registered
since the month of June, 1833, at which time the first,
second, and third parts of vol. 6 were registered, and if any
other publication was made since, it was illegal.-Mr. Wm.
Burton, 39, Oxforehstreet, prodeced a contract he gave the
prisoner in October, 1840, for the journal in question, and
in the December following, he paid him five guineas for ad-
vertisements on the outside wrappers of the work, which
was not then in existence.-Mr. Hales identified the prisoner
as the person who had on '•the last occasion registered at
the time in question at the Stamp-offiee.-The prisoner
was committed for trial.-M. Soya, euisinier of the Reform
Club, stated that about five weeks back the prisoner called
upon him at the Reform Club-house, to solicit advertise-
ments respecting his soup kitchen in Spitalfields, when be
was in conversation with a friend about inserting advertis
ments in the Tines newspaper, and he said that as his
printing office was close at hand he would insert them,
which induced witness to give him a sovereign sod a
half sovereign for a weekly publication, together with
another for the Parliamentary Chronicle, upon which
he went away ; and after witness saw the adver-
tisement the next morning, the prisoner came to ask if
be had seen it, to which he received en answer in tne
affirmative. The prisoner then said that the sovereign he
had gives him was a counterfeit, demanding a good one,
which he gave him, pretending that he had paid for the
advertisement. On the following day witness went to
the office and ascertained that the advertisement had been
paid for.-Inspector Marsh produced the several coins
found upon the prisoner, some of which were counterfeit.
Upon this charge the prisoner was again committed for trial.
-Mr.Dobles, hosier and glover, Princes-street, Westminster,
came forward to prefer a charge against the prisoner, in con-
sequence of the publicity of the prisoner's schemes, and said
that in August, 1844, the prisoner gave him an onler for
goods amounting to 71., which were delivered at 3, Curzon-
greet, Mayfair, but his messenger was informed by the pri-
soner's brother, who acted as servant, that Dr. Green was
gone to visit a patient, and from that time witness never
received the price of his goads. The prisoner said that the
goods were purchased and delivered in the name of Henry
Arnold Greta, who was dead, and on that ground the
magistrate before whom the charge was brought ordered
the case to be dismissed. Mr. Henry ordered the prisoner
to be remanded, under the impression that other cases
would be brought against him.
WORSHIP-STREET.-13afizvoLencz.-Mr. Hanunill
announced his receipt of letters enclosing the following dear

that the last four contributions might be acknowledged in
the Daily News.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.- STABBINO.-J. Parker
was again charged with having stabbed Mary. Ritchie end
her daughter, whereby their lives had been seriously endan-
gered. The daughter, who has since been delivered of a
child in the hospital, is still in such a doubtful state as to be
unable to come forward to give evidence.-Mary Ritchie,
living at 26, Dudley-street, said the prisoner had been ac
quainted with her daughter for about 18 months. On the
Sunday morning, about 10 o'clock, she heard her daughter
scream. She west out of the room and saw her daughter ,
coming up stairs and the prisoner near her, he having appa-
rently been ill-using her. The prisoner wanted to come into
her room, but she told him she would not let him heat her
daughter, and the prisoner then went away. In a short ,
time afterwards witness heard a knock at her room door, and
on going to see who was there, she found the prisoner, who
said he wanted to speak to her daughter, and immediately
i rushed give and pullet out • knife with which he attacked
her, stabfffng her in the left side. She tried to get away,
but the prisoner again stabbed her near the abdomen, and
I she then contrived to get out of the room. Witness after-
wards saw her daughter, Eliza, bleeding from a wound on
the head. Winne/ was conveyed to the hospital
and had been under medical treatment ever since.-Mary
Ann Walker, a lodger in the house, heard Nome persons,
having high words m Mrs. Ritchie's room on Sunday morn-
ing. Shortly afterwards a screaming and scuffling took
place, and she ran upstairs, and saw the prisoner sinking at
Mrs. Ritchie with a knife. Mrs. Ritchie gOt away from the
prisoner, and went down stairs. Her daughter Eliza tried
to pass the prisoner, in order to go out of the room, but the
prisoner prevented ker, and stabbed her violently on the
head. The prisoner again stabbed her on the back, and
then threw the knife out of the window.-It was proved that
the knife lodged on the roof of an adjoining house, where it
was afterwards found, the blade being stained with blood. -
It had been borrowed the same morning from a man named
Noble, the ptianner saying that it was to cut the sole off one of
his shoes-Constable Gutting seldom the Sunday morning he
saw the prisoner in the midst of a mob in Dudley-street, with
his hand.bleeding.-The prisoner was committed on this
charge. He is to be brought up on the second charge when
the woman is well enough to give evidence,

Hering, J. Dennsore, R. Webster, W. Bailey, J. Burdon,
T. Briant, J. 'Valiant*, and U. Smith were further exa-
mined on a charge of feloniously breaking into and plunder-
ing the shops of Mr. T. Gray, pawnbroker, and other re-
spectable tradesmen in Southampton-street, Camberwell,
and T. Sneed and A. Butler were also charged with a simi-
lar offence.-A solicitor, who attended on the part of Mr.
Gray, begged to suggest that the crown should be called on
to prosecute in this cue. Had it been one of an ordinary
description Mr. Gray would not have shrunk from his duty,
' but under the circumstances, and Mr. Gray being already
a sufferer to a considerable animist (upwards of 1,0001.), be
(the solicitor) did not think he should be individually
put to the ~additional expense of a prosecution. He also
begged to recommend that the pnsoners be further re-
manded, to give an opportunity, in the event of the govern-
ment prosecuting, for the Treasury solicitor to be present.
Mr. Elliott said he thought it was quite a proper case for
prosecution by the crown.-Mr. Robinson said he had been
requested by Mr. Mayne., the commissioner of police, to
state that they, the oomrausienen, would put the case in •
proper train for the Treasury solicitor to prosecute.-A num-
ber of fresh witnesses were called, whose testimony con-
siderably strengthened the case against the prisoners. One
of the witnesses, Ann Brown, said she saw the prisoner
Payne in front of Mr. Grsyli shop with a tkdek bludgeon in
his hand, and striking the window with the weapon, ex-
claiming, " Come on, my brave boys, we'll have our liberty."
-The prisoners after • long investigation were remanded to
• future day. Some strong evidence to prove an having
been given for Joseph Burden, that isoner was admitted
to bail, se was sloe Henry Rowe, who Is only 11,yesza of sp.

THAMES.—TaIcas ON FOREIONERS.—J. Thomas, a
German lodging. house keeper, No. 4, Ship-alley, Weßelow
square, was charged with obtaining 41. from • countrymau
of his of the Jewish persuasion, named Boni& Liepstrits.—
The prosecutor, who gave his evidence through an interpre-
ter. stated, that be came to this country from Hamburg on
Monday week, and went to lodge with the priqiner, from
whom he had coffee sight times, a herring ones, and fish
once. About 2 o'clock en Sunday morning Thomas came
to his bed-side, and said there was a policeman looking fur
him, to take him into custody, as he bad not an English
passport. "You have got us both into trouble," said the
prisoner, " by coming here without a passport; but if you
give me ,111., I'll Bend you down to Liverpool by railway, and
we shall both get clear." The complainant replied that he
had dons no wrong, and, therefore, bad no fear; upon
which the prisoner lowered his demand to 71. Com-
plainant refused to comply with this, on which the prisoner
said "'Tis new too late. There is the policeman, and we must
give him 11. to get him out of the way." Complainant said
he would not give a shilling to any one unless he knew why.
This sort of convereation lasted until 4 o'clock in the morn-
ing, when the prisoner called a policeman, who came to the
room and then demanded 61., but complainant was not
alarmed and still refused to comply. When the policeman
went the prisoner demanded 41,. 10s. of which he said Gould
be given to the constable. This complainant refused to give,
end at the same tints asked the prisoner for his bill. Instead
of presenting it the prisoner sent two men into the room, on
which the complainant became alarmed for his personal
safety, and gave him the 41. rather than be alone in the
dark with two strange men. The prisoner in his defence
stated that the complainant by his peculiar and exclusive ha-
bits had put him to much more expense than any ordinary
lodger would have done. For instance, he refused to eat out
of a vessel in what Christians had been cooked. (Laughter.)
—Mr. Yardley Stop. Say that egair. They surely
do not cook Christians. Interpreter: No, air.
He means in which Christians had cooked, but he
said it the other way. (Renewd laughter.— Pri-
soner : The consequence was that I had to buy new
vessels, new knives and forks, new platen, and other things.
Then he required to have his victuals dressed according to
the law.—Mr. Yardley: Is he a Brahmin ?—lnterpreter ;
Ns ; he is a Jew.—Prisoner : He objected to the sheets—he
would not sleep in sheets a Christian has lain in ; and he
would have his chairs and tables scoured of Christian im-
purity. (Laughter.) Prisoner was also to look him out a
ship. for a cheap and comfortable vorge to America.—Mr.
Yardley According to your accouat of his exclusiveness, he
should have chartered a vessel for himself. —Prisoner :
Gn
Saturday night, during his ab.ence, a person came
and asked whether a Jew with a long beard stopped
there. The complainant, on hearing this, became evi-
dently alarmed, and he (Thomas) asked him what was
the cause of his alarm, and whether he had done
anything wrong ? To this the complainant said he had no
fear, except that he had exchanged a few bad ducat' at
Hamburg It was then that he (prisoner) proposed to have
him conveyed to Liverpool for 81. He not only refused to
pay this, but even refused 41. for the great trouble he had
occasioned. It was then a constable was called in, to (tighten
him into terms.—The complainant, during this statement,
interpolated several negatives, especially when he was de-
scribed as so per liarly exclusive. —Mr. Yardley said it was
evident the complainant had been grossly imposed en, though
it night be difficult to bring the case under the head of any
offence.—The prisoner was remanded until to-
,row (this day), when the policeman, whole conduct in
-t appears to be very questionable will be sought out.

MONEY MARKET.

TUESDAY EVENING.

The news of the day from abroad has not been less
unfavourable than for some days past in pro-
portion with arrivals and expresses, yet the funds
not only maintained that impassive appearance or
steadiness of price which has been remarked upon so
frequently of late, but towards the close of business
improved in saleable value. Consols, which in the
morning were quoted at about 80; to 1, left off ia ad-
vance at 81k to 1. The absence of sales for money, and
the scarcity of money stock, were of course the mov- 6
ing causes of this nee in stock values, for otherwise
the business done was of no importance. Exchequer 11
Bills for June were 23e. to 275. prem.; for March, 255. 9
Foreign stocks were not more in favour to-day than t
before, and the dealings few in accordance. Mexican 11:
were 14; to 4. Brazilian, 68 to 72. Spanish Fives,
111 to 12(; the Threes, 21 to 2 ; Passive, 21 to 3. 1
Portuguese, 14 to 15. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 41 to 3; the Fours, 61 to 3. Equador, 21 to 1. I
Few dealings in foreign exchange took place to- 3
day, from the unwillingness, in the present convulsed
state of political affairs on the continent, either to
take or to draw bills. Drawers were found to consent ,
to pay the inordinate rate of 281 francs in Paris in
three months paper, for 11. in London ; in short, the
negotiations were at the high rates of from 26.50 to
27.50. On Amsterdam business was done at 12.5
to 1 ; on Rotterdam, at 12.51 to 6 ; on Antwerp, at
27.60 ; lon Hamburg, at 13.13 to 14 ; on Frankfort,
at 1211 to 2; on Madrid, at 46 to 434—a1l at three
months. On Lisbon, at 60 days, 501. On other
places no quotations were made.
A further dividend of five shillings in the pound,
being the third, and making altogether 15s. in the
pound, is declared upon the estate of Messrs. W. and
J. Woodley, and will be payable on the 11th or 12th
of next month, at Messrs. M'Leod and Stenning's.
From a statement in a Brussels paper, it would
appear that the loan made by the Belgian govern-
ment to the landed proprietors, in treasury paper of
course, had been the subject of speculation with capi-
talists, who had purchased the paper from the holders,
with payment in specie, at a rate of profit, on dis-
count, from 15 to 25 per cent., and therefore so much
loss to the venders. In all such government transac-
tions it is evident that such must be the result The
parties receiving what is considered a great accom-
modation must have to pay for it afterwards directly
or indirectly.

WEEKLY REPORT OP THE PARIS BOURSE AND
MONEY MARKET, PEON 13TH TO 18TH MARCH.—Almost
all securities closed lower than the quotations of last week,
but still since Wednesday there is a sensible improvement :
on that day everything was offered at low prices, and without
buyers ; but sine that day the funds and railways have ra-
pidly improved, and without any material fluctuation, indi-
cating, thereby, the revival of confidence. There is certainly
a large difference between actual and former prices ; but,
what is of most moment under present circumstances, is that
the fall does not continue, and this stoppage in the fall has
been followed by a moderate and settles nee, resulting not
from speculation, of which there is none, but from the invest-
ment of unemployed capital that the panic had caused to be
withdrawn from the funds and which is now being re-in
vested. 'Tis an immense improvement for which we are en-
tirely indebted to the Minister of Finance, we must in justice
admit, since we were among the first to censure hie measure
with respect V) the savings-banks. The decrees relative to the
Bank of France, the treasury bonds, and the additional taxes,
have obtained the universal approbation of capitalists, even of
those whose interests most materially suffer by them. The
Bourse and the bankers are accused of not coming forward
for the catioual loan, or of having subscribed for but a small
amount; but we must remember the enormous losses they
have suffered, and the necessity of so maay of them meeting
engagements contracted by them when the ••2'alit was un-
limited. It is said that main bankers are liquidating their
affairs solely to throw dillimf,ics in the .ottlemc.l. of tallies.
This is pure calumny; those who have done so have been
induced solely by the view of avoiding bankruptcy if affairs
should take a still worse course. If those who make these
accusations could seriously investigate the matter, they would
find that the greater part of these bankers have been com-
pelled by the imperious law of necessity, and that the ex-
pression, "I am about to liquidate," often conceals some-
thing more serious, and is the means of maintaining a credit
which must endure severe trials if this decided step were
not taken. We speak from conviction of that which is
now pasting in the financial world ; it is our duty to speak
the truth, and an honest mission to defend those who
are unjustly attacked. There is no one who has the right
to suspect the intentions of the ex-capitalists—there is no
one either at the Bourse or the Bank who is not loyally
attached to the public welfare, sad the existing order of
things; we will go further, and say it is the interest of all ;
but the sacrifices are relative not to theformer but the pre-
sent position of parties. Examples are wanng if they
must be cited, but we wish to respect names—we speak only
of facts. Many houses have invested their capital in rail-
ways, at prices'much above then of theme y a fall having
occurred, they .are unable to dispose of m .and it is ex-
pected that they can find money to subscribe to this loan at
a moment when their signatures are valueless ! Is it, we
ask, want of patriotism if under: web circumstances well-
known names are obliged to abstain from any advance of
money ? We appeal to the good sense of those who make
these attacks and who we doubt not are ignorant of
what we state. But we are going out of our
tonal course with a view to do justice to every
