MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY EVENINO.
Money continues very abundant on the Stock Ex-
change, but there are symptoms of rather more
demand for it; the rates for short periods on govern-
ment securities are about two per cent.
. . .

This day terminates the protracted and injurious
blockade of the German ports by the Danish ships,
and will consequently set free a large amount of im-
peded commerce and enterprise which for months
past has been waiting the long-looked-for release.
In the speech of the King of Prussia at the opening
of the Chambers at Berlin on Timidity last, the war
between Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein is charac-
terised as one "which, apart from possible complica-
tions with otht r powers, laid upon the German, North,
and .Baltic coast, the heaviest, and, in the long run,
intolerable sacrifices." Most fully will these senti-
ments be echoed in this country ; and we trust that

THE EXPELLED WESLEYAN MINISTERS.

Yesterday evening a meeting of the societies and
congregations of the Wesleyan connection comprised within
the second London circuit wu held at the Freemasons'-haul,
for the purpose of hearing statements from the Rev. Messrs.
Dunn and Griffith relative to their expulsion, and that of
their rimmed colleague, Mr. Everett, by the Conference.
' The large room was densely crowded.
The follow's' resole:ions were adopted :
"That this meeting desires to record it. share attachment
to Weelepa enethodism, its doctrines, and essential institu-
tions, and deprecates every messars calculated to impair its
ufficieney, believing that in its primitive simplicity and power
under Almighty Goi, it not only has been, but still is de-
signed to be • blessing to mankind."
"That believing the purity of the churele,:and, especially of
its mini ten, to be essential to the progress of religion among
us, this meeting, although deeply regretting the necessity for
the exercise of such discipline, and which • deep and
conscientious feeling of duty to God and hie cause
rendered so imperatively necessary expresses its approbation
of the proceedings of the lute Conference in the expulsion of
more than one of its ministers for grossly immoral conduct ;
bet this meeting enters its solemn protest ageing' other acts
of the Conference, by which three respected ministers,
Musts. Jams Everett, Sum. Dunn, and William Griffith,
benr., against whom no such charges were ;al;eged, have
en visited with the like extreme penalty of expulsion, not
only from fraternal connexion with the Conference. but alto
from the ministry amongst us; and have been held up by
the Conference to greater execration than men guilty of
gross criminality; and, under all the circumstances, this
meeting regards the acts of the late Conference with a eater-
ence to Messrs. Everett, Dunn, and Griffith, jeer., as highly
unjust, es well se incompatible both with the dignity of the
Conference and the welfare of the eenursion at large. And
deeply sympathisiog with these esteemed and beloved minis-
ters in their present painful position, this meeting resolves to
assist in rai.ing a fund for their support ; and that the fol-
lowing gentlemen be the committee fur the second London
circuit, with power to add to their number."

House of Commons into fragmentary and con-
fused votes of supply, they are determined to post-
pone "the budget"—the fall and connected view of

The object of this game is obvious : it is to mystify

baffle this trick, if possible, Mr. Huns and Mr.
COBDEN have given notices of amendments on the
motion for going into supply. When it is proposed
that the SPEAKER do leave the chair Mr. Huns will
move that before culling orl the house to vote the
estimates, ministers should submit a general financial
statement of the whole expected revenues, and *he
whole contemplated expenditure of the ensuing
financial year. If this reasonable and equitable
proposal be suocessfolly resisted, Mr. COB-

Thu was an action brought against the high sheriff of the
county of Surrey to recover compensation to damagis for
making a false return to • writ of ft. fa. which had been put
into the bands of his officers to execute, and also for negli-
gence in executing the writ.
Mr. Crowder, in stating the cue to the jury, said that this
was an avant brought nominally against the h'gh theta
of the county of Surrey, but the real defendant
vet. the officer to whom the execution was entrusted. The
plaintiff, was a grocer and chandler, carrying on businem
in Deemsrk-street, Cold-harbour-lane, Cembnw and
a Mr. Summers was indebted to him to the amount of be-
tween 201. and 301., and not being able to pay pto 'ceding. wire

Mee on the 6:h of December, 1848, about three o'clock to
the afternoon, and a return was made on the 21u of the
.unto month, in which it was stated that Mr. Summers had
on goods to levy upon. That return the plaintiff omnplaitad
of as being false inasmuch as Mr. Summers had a house
and furniture. The plaintiff farther thaelainei that due
dftence had not been used to execute the writ, bl wit ich
means he had been defeated of the fruits of his j ucgment.

DEATH OF MR. HENRY

Among the many victims to the cholera, it is with
deep regret we nand the name of Henry Hathenngton, he
well-known publisher and newsveader.
It is • MUM familiar even to those mars the middle and
upper classes who hare paid little attention to the move-
ments which are going ea areas Uri: less wealthy, toiling
tellow-anntrymen.
The redustion of the stamp duty on newspnrceiz
foonesos to one penny, wasonepenny, mainly droned by
warfare which Mr. Hetherington carried on whist Use
higher tax. With that redoetion his name is inseparably
associated. One of his last public seta was, in eonaszion
with his old coadjutors, to form • society for the purpose of
obtaining the repeal of the remaining duties on newspapers,
and " emancipate the prom from all control, except that
exercised by a court of law." But his public services had
no such limited range r might be, perhaps, inferred from
this specification of his principal achiererneet. He wits
a reetryman (and • mar ireful one) of the perish
of fit. Pancras' in which he nsidsd. He attended
and spoke with his wonted liberal energy and good sense at
the recent meeting in the Priss's Iheatre in favour of
parliamentary and financial reform; and howas present at
the Drery•lane awning.
At the time of his death Mr. Hetherington was in his
67th year. He expired on the afternoon of Thursday last,
having been able, though indisposed, to attend to his busi-
ness till Tueeday. lie will be interred on Sunday afternoon
at Kenai-green cemetery, whither his remains will be fd-
lowed by many friends who knew and appreciated the
sterling qualities of hie honest, manly, and in aerolent chit.

Assembly of the 6th intent, he is invested with full
powers to resume the neguciations, and is ready to
agree to any conditions calculated to ensure the
honour and security of Venice. In his answer of the
14th, M. de Bruck regrets that the rejection of the
terms formerly preposed scarcely leave him any
other alternative save that of requiring an uncondi-
tional surrender of Venice, but adds that Menthol
Itadetzky cocetnts from motives of humanity, to re-
new the concessions he offered on the 4th of May last.
M. de Bruck concludes by saying that in cue the
Venetia...A accept those cmditione, they may apply to
Geo. Gorskoweki in order to fix the mode of execution.

RAILWAYS IN INDIA.

In reply to questions Iron;leoialliteoirind Mr. BZIGHT,
Sir J. HOBLIOUSE stated that negotiations were In pro-
grew between certain railroad companies and the govern.
meat of India, relative to tho construcion of railroads in
India; but, as the negotiations were not brought to a close,
he would not disclose the state of the question. However,
he coul.l say that the opinim of the Indian government at
pres‘nt was that the railways could be made by private com-
panies; but if not, the Indian government reserve" to itself
the right of emetmeting them.

SPAIN.

Senor Salamanca, by order of the French govern-
' raent, and ander the conduct of a commissioner of
police, left Bayonne by the Paris m iil on the night of
the Bth inst. He was given to understand that he would
be permitted to reside at Bordeaux; but, on reaching
that city the ex-minister was obliged to continue his
journey to Tours, accompanied by an additional police.
man ; and from Tours he will proceed in the same
state of custody to Paris. I have the best
reasons for believing that it is the intention
of Senor Salamanca to demand his passport for Eng-
land. Hs is heartily disgusted at the vexatious per-
secution by the police to which he has been subjected,
particularly under Louis Napoleon, by the French
government.
The Duke of Gor is expected today in Paris, on his
way to Vienna, whither he goes as ambassador from
Madrid. The duke arrived at Burgos the night after
the Estudiante had burned three mails. He was
anxious to continue his journey the same night: but
neither conductor, mayoral, nor postilion, would ven-
ture beyond the walls with the spirited old vendee.
Meanwhile Roe de Olano, knowing that nobody
would conduct the mail, gave orders that it was to
start next morning with an escort of 18 Lancers.
We have received the journals and correspondence
of Madrid to the 7th inst. A telegraphic despatch from
Vittoria and Pompeian& announces that tot a single

trial population would find the militias atum of
CHARLES and JAMES intolerable. Imagine every trot
possessed of five hundred a year derived from Ito
or six thousand pounds of personal estate, being no;
obliged to provide, equip, and pay, at his 0,1
charge, one horseman. Imagine every mac who 4.
rived fifty pounds a year from land, or who pew
six hundred pounds of personal estate, charged in hke
manner with a foot soldier. Imagine smaller pe
prietors obliged to club together and support word.
tog to their means, a horse or toot soldier. such
burdens would, if directly inepcsed, be found to
intolerable.

As commerce, wealth, and population have io.
crewed, our regular forces have supplied the dated
these half-forced, halt-voluntary levier. met 5e
have gained by the change of system no one would
doubt for a moment. Every one is left to the
ment of his own affairs, on contributing to the tarr,
tion by which our regular forces are supported. Eat
it is a question whether, in some respects, the 'Nei
of our torefathers was not bett-r than oar own.
We do not stop to inquire here how far the 'stem
of every man contributing to the service of the eta,
according to the amount of his property should be tie
rule now. This is one of the grand principles or
financial reform, the just law we are contianilly
deavouring to make the basis of taxation. Oar pre.
sent purpose is to show that the money contributed
by the people for th t service of the regular faces ou
expended on a better system under CHARLES IL that
under VICTORIA.

The grand difference in the two systems ie the
relative proportion of the effective and non-effeetire
charges. The whole effective charge under CHASUS
was 750,000/. a year, the nth-effective dry
scarcely exc e!ed 10,0001.; the while elfeetire
charge under VICTORIA is more than 17,000,80%,the
non-effective scarcely less thin 4,000,0001. p
exact sums, according to the estimltes of 18484, lee
as follows:

- _
Effective. Non-rfrettive.
Army
nisy
Orthumm 2,044.001 171,11;

12,b15,637

3,53,97

An additirnal naval expense of 882,112/. is con.
nexion with the Post-office, convict, and army services
completes the expenditure, above seventeen millions
annuallv, for the ear eatabl;shment; the exact sum
beinp 17,:15i1,546/. Thus the non-effective charges
are considerably more than a fourth of the effective
in amount, and constitute rather more than a
hfth of the whole expenditure upon the regu-
lar forces. Under CHARLI.S, instead of a fifth,
they did not form the seventieth part. The propos,
tion was ten thousand to seven hundred and 64
thousand. Men and officers were paid, and paid well,
for real services. They were employed, and, while
employed, were sufficiently: remunerated. Such was
the old system. It remains to be diacoveted how
far the system of and:rpaying working men, and
keeping others on half-pay, doing no'hir.g whatever,
is conducive to the interests of the public and the war
service—how far it accords with the advances in civi-
lisation which have taken place during the lest two
centuries, or whether it is a retrograde movement.
