REPORTERS IN TIIE HOUSE OF COMMONS.-011
Saturday a report of the select committee of the House of
Commons was printed respecting the exclusion of strangers.
The question raised woe, whether reporter* should he ex-
' eluded during a elvision, and upon the notice of any mem-
ber that " strangers" were present. The committee report
that the existing usage of excluding ntra reties during a di-
vision, and upon the notice of anF individual member that
strangers are pent nt, has prevailed from a very early period
of parliamentary history ; that the instances idwhich the
power of an individual member to exclude has been exer-
cised, have been very rare, and that it is the unanimous
opinion of the committee that there is no sufficient ground
for making any alteration in the existing practice, with re-
gard to the admission or exclusion of strangers.
THE RECTORY OP BISHOP IVFARMOUTII.—THE
Bissop or DoorfAx.—The Bishop of Durham has ap-
pealed to the Ecclesiastical Commission on the subject of the
rev. nues of Bishop Wearosouth. To this body he has sub-
mitted a scheme, drawn up in conjunction with the govern-
meta, for a re-arrangement of the revenues of that rich
benefice. The scheme assumes that the revenues of Bishop
Wearmeuth Rectory produce 3,5501. a year. Of that sum it
practically proposes to assign 1,6001. a year to the actor, to
divide 1,0.501 amongst the various chasubles in the parish,
and to invest the balance of 900/. a year Ls a fund to provide
them with parsonage houses. The rector is to retain the
tithe rent-charge, the glebe, and the surplice fees, and to be
discharged from paying 30441. a year, as is now dei.e, to the
chapelries.—Carlisk Patriot.

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY EVENTNA

The English funds have had a considerable riiceto.
day, consequent on the satisfactory intelligence re-
ceived concerning the adjustment of the question be-
tween Denmark and Schleswig-Hoist: in. The open-
ing price of Consols was 93 tot, bat they soon became
buyers at 931, and maintaice that price during the
greater part of the morning ; the intelligence abcve
referred to, however, caused them instantly to advance
to 93;1 to 3, at which tidy closed both for money and
account. The Three per Cents. Reduced were done
at 931, 93, and 1, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. at prices varying from 931 to 911.
In the foreign market there was co alteration from
lyesterday'll quotations at the opening of the market,
but the improvement in the English securities ins-
pasted a better feeling to this portion of the Stock
Exchange, and Danish Stock advanced 1 per cent.,
Spanish, 1 per cent., and almost eve7y other &scrip-
don likewise showed some improvement. TLe .haters
were much occupied in arranging for the settlement of
the account on Honda{', so that 'he actual business
was not extensive. It is comprised in the followicg
transactions : ItoenneAyres Bonds at 44. Danish Threw
per Cent., 1825, at 66. Equador at 31. Mexican, ex .
coupons, for account, at 28 and 1. Portuguese Foy .r
per Cents. at 301. Spanish Five per Cents. at le
;, and I for money; and at Di!, 1, and 3 for accost at;
ditto Passive Bonds at 31 and 1. Spanish Three per
Cents. at 313. Dutch T wo-and-a-Half per Cents. at 51
Money continues very abundant on the ,tack
Exchange. It is somewhat more in demand, tl ,ourgh
the rates are not materially a,tt red.
In the discount market money has beer very
abundant during the week, and in certain cr
,uarters
very easy. It may he re,:sonably expected that the
satisfactory settlement of the Danish queetic which
has so long paralysed commerce with the north of
Europe, will have a beneficial effect on trade in
gecerai, and produce a greater demand al id employ-
n its will ere
