to go to their opponents for meistance ;" ix what ! in getting up a
requisition. Why en, if only hair play is intended ! And Mr. M.
premeds to ley, " that hod we been disposed to concur we had ample
opportunity, for a meeting of requisitionists was held at the public

Isle eel y this meeting re, and yet up to that moment not we of
us hod seen the requisition, and it was left at no public
nix* for signature. I myself west to • dissentieig bookseller to in-
quire where it could be seen, and he knew not ; entirely innocent
all ,bout it. So we were not requisitionists, and h no chance to
become such, and yet we were reelected, bemuse It was April fool's
dot I suppose, to go to a meeting of requisitionists where we had no
right to be present !
4. Mr. Morg in says he sent circulars to the dissenting ministers
for monitor, April 4, and yet never rocetioned the intended meeting!
Perham sane one else had spared him the trouble. lie is not aware
that any mention was made in any inventing chapel or schoolon that ,
Sunday. Will the hon. secretary tell as if It was reserved fur the
retool anniversary meetings of the various diesentiog reboots an
Dater Monday and Tuesday? But that It was effrctually done (on
what day, whether April the 4th. 3th, or oth, or the Comb; before
April 4, it matters nothing) arm demenstratedbefore all the meeting.
when, upon 'petting the doors, the aide galleriee were instantly filled
by females of the dissenting party who were waiting to occupy them,
• and no notice was publicly Wren of this reserve of the galleries till the
' ermine before the meeting after Mr. Buines's leeture. Had there not
been careful meaningless, h dew enuki seek a feet hare ;warred ! Mr.
; notice was respecting his own parochial meeting, and sot of
the pretended town's meeting.
3. Mr. Morgan has my thanks for naming Mr. Baines. Mr. Morgan
' and the mayor t. 1,1 the rural d and myself, that at the suggestion
' of the mayor, Mr. Baines, who was to have been at the town's meet-
tog, was Indoor Ito withdraw that Intention. Hie friends, It would
mom, were drag bet he should tall into one of hie old groaning

Mayor showed the hon. secretary aid the "originals " out of this
insulting propnal, by *Alai "it' the power. of railroad communica-
tion were to he oiretchedm br as to bring Leeds within the limita of
the borough of Birmingham?" or wade to that effort. The
clergy did hold meetings, and at every one invited all present
to mate objections to the plea, whet it had been mod and explained.
and at St. Ge sage's and other meetings objectors were beard and
answered In all fairness. Had the dissenters done the Fame, instead
of importing Mr. Baines end his figures ha mystify the wool. only
the evening before the meeting, we might have hod more Menem
At Misted meeting, on Toordity evenieg, Messrs locker and James
spoke, and declared their conviction that the dirt,' bone. at the town-
hall was the fault of the dissenting ministers, who urged their flocka
to attend and oppose the government plan, but never read or ex-
plaised it to them previously.
G. As to the tickets, what right has any one to 'owe one ticket ex-
cept by mutual consent of all parties at • professedly open town's
meeting! Whet a farce to tall such a meeting free and fate The
High Bailiff of Birmingham came to roe o beg a ticket that he or
his friend might by special favour get into the town-hall to a town's
:setting! Mr. M. allows trimmer that we had net; 73, and that of

CULTIVATION OF HOPS.—The return moved for by
Mr. Alderman Humphery of the number of acres in Great
Britain under cultivation of hops, in the year 18 16, now just
printed, shows them to amount to 51,948. Of these, 27,385
acres are in the county of Kent, 12.023 in Sussex, 670 in
Herefordshire, 1,743 in Hants, 1,388 in Worcestershire,
1,211 in the isle of Wight, the remaining 1,110 acres being
!scattered chiefly through the Eastern Counties,

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCfL 1
Two o'Clock.—The tenour of the accounts from'
Liverpool, Manchester, and the manufacturing districts gene-
rally, in respect of money affairs, were deemed to be so un-
satisfactory as to exercise an unfavourable influence upon the
prices of the funds this morning. At 861 to ' money, and 1
more for time, the 6nt prices of Consols showed
B depression of 1 per cent. upon the last quotations of
yesterday. No disposition to operate largely appeared
en any quarter, either for the fall or the rise of 1
r, from which it may be gathered, perhaps, that, 1
ees
the usual course of stock dealing, speculators I
were waiting the occurrence of some event, or report, of
a more decisive tendency, one way or the other, before recom-
mencing
operations. C. noels have partially recovered, end
are now 861 to 7 for money, and 87 to 6 for time. Reduced
Threes, Sti to 1. Three-and. a•Quartcr per Cents., 871 to ti.
Exchequer Bills, 2s. discount to 2s. premium. Consols Scrip,
21 to I discount.
We are almost without any business at all in foreign
stocks; and prices are generally so uschenged, that the
quotatioas of yesterday have only to be repeated, except in
a few instances. Dutch Two.end aMalf per Csnts. were
rather lower, at 581 to 1 ; the Fours, at 891 to I. Spanish

Private lettersfrom Madrid. of the 14th inst., from parties
in a poeiti,n to be well informed, speak its the most die-
couragiag
terms of the state of affairs there, both political
and monetary. Money was extremely scarce and difficult
to be raised, and securities of all kinds were unsaleable
to any extent, at almost any sacrifice. The estrange-
meat between the king and queen was daily on the increase,
end the permanency of the existing ministry was con-
sidered to be extremely doubtful. Salamanca is spokes
of in a man of ability and good intentions, but,
such was the confused state of affairs, and the want of con-
fldenee, that it Irma not believed he would be able to do any-
thing for the foreign credit-era. The report of the depression
of the money market here had served to increase the embar-
rassments of the money and stock markets.
Advice* from Holland. of the 214 of April, state that the
Bank of Amsterdam had declared a dividend at the rite of
190 flltias per share. The reserve rani stood at 2,240,00 a
florins.
The stock maewet was duil. Twolusd-a-Half per Cents.
