THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY ETENING, APRIL 5, 1818.

mthposed falsification of a report reepeeting certain proceed-
ings at the Birmingham 11comtal. It had little reference to
the chief points of criminality charged against the bishop.
Mr. Clutteridge, in implied terms, deeleurd examining Dr.
Lee as to his alleged habits of intemperance, as le con-
ceived he eh. old be better able to establish that part of
his (Mr. Gutteridge's) justification by other witnesses. The
cross-examination of Dr. Lee did not conclude till nearly
one o'clock to day. At the conclusion of the bishop's exami-
nation, no little sensation. Dr. Lee reduced iTt (Inuit

pearance of Mrs. Lee, witness..visibly
moved, and there were few persons court who did not
deeply sympathize with him under the distressing circuth
stances in which he was placed.
Mrs. Lee, in answer to questions front Mr. Humfrey,
deposed that she was the wife of the Bishop of Manchester.
She arcompanied her husband from their residence, the
Free Grammar School, New ante Birmingham, to the
Blue-coat School, St. Philip's-churchyard, on the evening
of a Sunday in June, 1844. Dr. Lee had dined at home
that day. Her husband, who was requested to go to the
Blue-coat School by Mr. Foster, the master, to see s dying boy,
was not in tho slighest degree excited by wine or liquor.
He was quite sober. While Dr. Lee was upstairs with the
boy Baylis at the Blue-coat School, she (Mrs. Lee) remained
with him l'ainter (now Mrs. Foster) down stairs in the
committee-room. In the summer of the same yest•

accompanied, on a Sunday, her husband to divine service at
Bishop Ryders's church. 11. read prayers in the morning,
and again in the evening. Mr. Collinsen, the incumbent,
was absent, and Mr. Moore, the curate, was at that time
very unwell. Upon that occasion she (witness) could under-
take to say rnost positively that her husband (Dr. Lee) was
not in the slightest degree intoxicated.
Mr. Gutteridge mid, in the peculiar character in which
Mrs. Lee appeared in court, he did not think he ought to ask
the lady a *logic gum' ion.
Chief Ju :tics Wilde had one question to ash MrseLee
Did she observe Dr. Lee assisted down stairs by Mr. Foster ?
Mrs. Lee: Certainly not.
Catherine Hotline depesed as follows: In the year 1844
I was assistant teacher in the Birmingham Blne-coat
School. remember Mr. Lee, now Bishop of Manchester,
coming to see a boy named Baylis, who was then ill. He
addressed thechildren. He was not in the slightest degree
intoxicated. Ile addressed them in the dining room, and I
was not more than five or six yards distant from him. lie
was, I am convinced, perfectly sober.
Cross-examined by Mr. auttcridge • Mr. George Na'en
interfered for me to get me the situation. bir. Lee also
recommended me. I did not consider that I was indebted
' to the bishop entirely for my situation.
E. Ozenbeld, examined by Mr. Humfrey I was, in 1844,
one of the assietact teachers to the Birmingham Btu, em it
School, and recollect Mr. Lee, now Bishop of Manchester,
coming to sec a boy named Baylis. I heard him address
the children upon the lemon of the day. There was nothing
in his appearence indicating the slightest intoxication. I
should have noticed it had there been any such indica-
tion. On leaving the school, Mr. Lee conversed with me
on the subject of my heing comfortable in the school. I
eon say positively that there was nothing in ci• appearance
of intoxication, and I never beard of such a change uutil
after I left the school.
Cross-examined hy the defendant: I believe that on that
occasion Dr. Lee spoke in his accustomed manner. I Ind
many recommendations for my appointment of usher to the
Blue-coat School, Dr. Lee among the rest. My fatter is a
master of one of the branch schools, of which Dr. :fee had
the general superintendence.
Matthew Smart gave similar evidenee to the above. Ile
recollected, when he was an assistant-master in the Blue-
-1 coat School, seeing Dr. Lee when he visited the boy Baylis ;
and he also recollected bearing the bishop's discourse to the
children. lie wan confident that Dr. Lee was perfectly
sober. He (witness) had been in the Blue-coat School for
five years, and was upon perfectly friendly terms with Mr.
and Mrs. Foster.
The witness, upon crow-examination by Mr. Gutteridge,
admitted that about the time Dr. Leo visited the boy Baylis
at the Blue-coat School, and before the publication of the
imputed libels, he might have had some conversation
xiwca-
ith
Mr. and Mrs. Foster about the bishophe supposed into
tion on the evening in question. Ile believed allusion was
made te it on the night it was supposed to have occurred.
Mary Goodwin, a nurse in the Blue-coat School, deposed
to seeing Dr. Lee when he visited the boy Baylis. At the
time the b shop entered the room she was reading the Bible
to the deceased, and he (the bishop) asked her if she thought
he V.'lll likely to recover. After praying with the hey, and
reading a portion of the Visitation Service, Dr. Lee went
down stairs. He did not require any assistance, and did
not appear to be in the slightest degree affected by wine.
Witness once saw Dr. Lee before at the Blue-coat School,
when he Mt, tided, as clergyman, a boy named Warrington.
This concluded the evidence on the part of the prosecution
against Gutteridge, with regard to the alleged drunkenness
of Dr. Lee at the blue-coat school. The next point entered
upon was the bishop's alleged drunkenness during 11:s per-
formance of divine service at Bishop Ryder's church.
The first witness called with respect to this branch of the
uiry
inq, was
The Rev. Dr. Moore, now incumbent cf St. Andrew's
church, who, in 1844, was curate of Bishop Ityder's church.
lie recollected Dr. Lee coming on a Sunday evening to his
church for the purpose of re ading prayers. Before service
commenced the Rev. Mr. Leelsom and the Rev. Mr. Dicker-
(like also arrived, for the purpose of tendering their services
in Mr. Collinson's (the incumbent's) absence, and his (Mr.
Moore's) illness. Dr. Lee read prayers. Ito observed
nothing peculiar in his manner, nor wee there in the vestry
or in the church anything which led witness to believe that
Dr. Lee was intoxicated.
Cress-examiried by Mr. Gutteridge: Dr. Lee was in his
usual Write, hut read like a person not accustomed to read
in public. He appeared to be nervous.
By the Judge: 1 heard dining the same week that in-
toxication had been attributed to Dr. Lee on the preceding
Sunday evening, hut from what I saw I do not believe that
there was the slightest ground for the charge.
The Rev. Joseph Fletcher Bickerdike and the Rev.
Daniel L-elsam, the two clergymen mentioned as having
been present at Bishop Hyder's church, on the evening in
1544, when the Bishop of Manchester was said to have been
inebriated, were examined, and stated most positively that
they observed nu indication of intoxication in the manners
of the reverend prelate. Mr. Ledsam was, however, ex-
tremely cautious in the mode and terms in which he gave
his evidence. He noticed particularly in Dr. Lee, on the
occasion in question, great nervousness of manner and
indistinctness of utterance, but he did not believe him to be
under the influence of wine.
William Wilkins, the clerk of Bishop Ryder's church, was
examined by Mr. Humfrey. Ile deposed that he offici-
ated, both morning and evening, on the day that Dr. Leo
read prayers at Bishop Ryder's church. Dr. Lee's manner
in the evening was different to that of the morning. There
was a peculiarity about his manner, particularly denoted by
a rapid shutting of the eyes. He had the appearance at
the evening service of being somewhat not unlike in a state
of intoxication. He was much surprised to observed it.
Mr. Humfrey : Extremely nervous ? —Witnew : Yes.
Chief Justice Wilde: Such an appearance as a person
might be ruposed to present when placed in a situation
he has not bepen accustomed to ?—Witness : Something like

fore they were execused. By tide will the Plaintiff, Dlr.
John Turner, Mr. John Hernblow Turner, twoed of his
his
nephews, and another gentleman, were appoint
executors, the only legacy to the plaintiff being
10e1., and the whole of the re inaiuder of thero
property
being left to his executors upon certain trust.; and the jury
would see that by the provisions of the will Mr. W. Turner
had carried out the determination he had always expressed
to prevent the defendant from having any control over his
property. After liequesthing 1001. to each of his executors,
he gave a legacy of 0001. to the defendant's wife ; be also
directed that shwaould be paid an aneuity of 600 i. • year,
but this money specially stated to be tor her sole and
separate use, and not to be in any way subjec: to the control
or debts of her husband ; and at the death of her husband,
and not before, she was to receive an additional annuity of
500/. a year; and the whole of the residue of the property
was devised to the grandchildren. but they were not te
ooms into possession of it until they arrived at the age of
21, and the executors were directed to allow • certain eum
ter timer 'decade!: ; and no notice whatever was taken cf the
defendant. A cedicil aas subsequently added to the
will, by which the teetator ease some small sums to
hie eervants and also a legacy ot 40e1tto Mr. John llornblow
Turner, ; again in this instrument no notice whatever
was taken of the defendaut. About this time it would appear
that the tietatur„upon one occasion, told ?dr. llomblow '
Turner that he was much indebted to him for his kindness,
and that it was hie intention to give him a thousand pounds;
and having already, by his wet, left him .1001., he handed I
hint a cheque for .5001. to make up that amouut. He
treg.eed to remind the jury that the plaintiff took nothing
by they will exe, pt the 1001. left to him as executor. Ile
did rot require it: he was himself a man of fortune;
and the 1001. was not giv, n as a legacy, but no doubt'
merely as a testimony of the affection his brother enter-
tained fur him. Shortly alter this will was mode Mr. W.
Turner, who was also a wit ry old man, became much worse
in health; he was suffering from a dropsical affection,
and it was necesiery to give him opiates; but there was
no d eibt tint shady up to the last moment of his life
hie mind was iii a prtfeetly sound state, and he was quite
competent to manage his affairs, and to dispose of his pro-
perty. lie died on the 18th September, 1820, and imme-
diately afterwards the defendent came to Woodcetedodge,
and iueisted open taking possewien of the whole of the pro-
pt rty in right of his wile who he said was now its
teem upon the death of, her fat:_er. The executors wore
applied to, and they produced the will, and read it to him,
but this had no cif:et, and it was with great difficulty that
he was at length induced to quit the house, leaving his wife
and the children still the re, and the text day he entered a
caveat as a first step to disputing the proot of the will. A
bill in chancery was subsequently tiled, in which the grand-
children were made parties, and in the course of these pro-
ceedings the defendant and his wife put in an answer, in
which they admitted the validity of the will and codicil, and
since that period the annuity of ,1001. a year had been paid to
the defendentte wife. An application was then made through
the defendant to the Master of the Rolls, and an issue wee
directed to he tried, with a view to ascertain the validity of
the will ; but just before it was to be tried the cause was
withdrawn. The cause wan agate set down for trial on a
subsequent mealier ; a special jury was called to try it ; and
again the defendant prayed to be allowed to withdraw ; and
he was only permitted to do so upon making an admiuion
of the validity of the will aril codicil, and that tad was stated
in the decree.—The learned eerjeant sail that it might have
been thought that after these proceedings the defendant
would have been satisfied with the opportunities that bad
been afforded him of disproving the legality of the will, but,
on the contrary, he resortei to various other legal proceed-
, high, the nature of which was described by the learned
failed to
earjeant,
make out and in thany case againsti the validity ofd
the that
will ;he
and at length, is Match, 1810 the judge of the l'rerogative
Court made a filial decree iu favour of the will, and
wereprobat
was granted to the executory.. In the same year, and
hlety
soon after this decision of the court, the pamp
was published, which formed the subject of the present ac-
tion. It was entitled, Extraordinary Case in the Exche-
quer Court, by a Barristerat-law," and although one of the
soon of the defendant had admitted the authorship of this
pamphlet, he Medd show that the defeadant was the real
author of it, and indeed he admitted the fact in an affidavit
made by him in the course of some subsequent proceedings.
The learned seejeant then proceeded to read the whole of tee
alleged libel, and it will be sufficient to state that it charged
in efistinet terms the plaintiff, Mr. Robinson, the solicitor
of the deceased, and Mr. John Hornb:ow Turner, another
of the executors, with having induced the deceased to sign
the will and codicil in question when he was in a state of
insanity, and that they propped him up in his bed while he
affixed his signature to the instruments. 'foie pamphlet also
accused the same gentlemen of inducing the deceased to sign
sixteen or seventeen blank cheques, and alleged that they
went into his bedroom at midnight, accompanied by Miss
Ethersey for that, purpose, and that one cheque for
OW as . so obtained w paned to the private acecunt
of Mr. J. li. Turner, at his banker's.—The learned serif ant
then proceeded to comment upon the aggravated character
of the Heel, which, he said, went to the extent of charging
the plaintiff :rid tee other respectable gentlemen with a con-
'jersey to induce the deceased to sign a pretended will and
testament, when they knew that he was m a state or inter,
city, end also with obtaining large sums of money by most
improper and dishonest means. At the time this atrocious
calantcy was published, the plaintiff was 86 yeas, old. lie
had lived in honour and respectability, and enjoyed the
esteem of a numerous circle of friends, and he felt that he
had no alternative but immediately to take the only course
that could he expected of him, which was, to apply to the
Courtof Queen's Bench for a criminal information against
the individual who had avowed himself at that time to beethe
author of it—Ole. Marcus Meryweather, a barrister, and the
sou of the defen eint. The opplication ramie in the
Queen's Bench, by his learned friend, Sir F. Thesiger, and,
as was usual in rch cases, the plaiutitt made an affidavit, dis-
tinctly denying that there was any foundation for the charges
made against him. In the first instance a rule was obtained
calling upon the defendant to show cause. but he never did
so, and the rule was made absolute ; and in due course the
son of the defendant was called up for judgment. Upon
that occasion several affidavits were put iu by the defendant
in mitigation, aril among them was one from the present de-
fendant, in which be declared that although his son had ac-
knowledged the authorship of the pamphlet, he (the father)
had written every word ot it himself, and was alone respon-
sible. In the course of this proceeding in the Queen's
Bench, the defendant took upon himself to write a letter to
Sir F. Thesiger, the counsel for the prenecutioa ; and in that
letter he not only avowed himself again as the author, but
distinctly asserted that all the charges he had made against the
plaintiff were true, and that he was prepared to prove them.
Sir. F. Thesiger telt it his duty to hand this letter to the
attorney for the prosecution ; and that letter had been placed
in the present declaration. In addition to these proceedings,
the defendant had actually indicted the plaintiff for perjury,
knowing full well that the indictment could not be disposed
of for eighteen months, and too doubt with the vindictive
expectation that the plaintiff would depart from this world
in the meantime, with the ignominy of such a charge being
attached to his memory. The plaintiff now boldly accepted
the challenge given him by the defendant, and although he
need not have done so, he had chosen to have the pleadings
in such a form as would not throw upon the detendant the
onus of peeving the allegations he had made; but he himself
would undertake to satisly the jury that at the time this will
and codicil were executed by the deceased be was in a per-
fectly sound state of mind and quite competent to manage his
affair.; and het the same time reminded the jury that the
defendant had had a dozen opportunities of making out his
case, if he:could have done so ; but that he had always shrunk
from it ; and he feared that the defendant had purposely de-
layed making then foul charges in the hope that the wit-
nuns who could have proved their falsehood would be
ne more. This had happened in many instances.
The Rev. Mr. Ferris, the rector of Beddington, who was on
terms of close intimacy with the deceased, was dead. Mr.
Robinson, his confidential solicitor, who had taken en
active share in the making of the will and codicil, and who
would havebeen *most important witness, was dead. Mies
Ethereey, the sister of his wife, was dead, and so were
Messrs. Fuller, Lambert, and several other intimate friend'
of the deceased. During the former proceedings these wit
nesses were all alive, and ready to testify to the perfect sa-
nity of the testator ; but the defendant would not then try
the question, but when they were dead be had disgraced
himself by putting his son forward as the author of this foul
libel. With regard to the amount of damages, of course
money was not the object of the plaintiff. He was a man of
fortune, and moncy was no consideration. All he desired
was to vindicate his character and to defy his slanderer to
prove one of the allegations he had made.
A *umber of witnesses were then examined on behalf of
the plaintiff's case, and all the material facts opened by the
teamed serjeant were made out by their evidence. The
witnesses were subjected to a very severe cross-examination,
but although some slight eccentricities of conduct were ad-
mitted, nothing at all was elicited that in any way affected
their testimony upon the main question in the case.
Serjeant Chenuell addressed the jury for the defendant.
lie denied that the defendant was actuated by any malicious
feeling towards the plaintiff, and urged that all the
proceedings be had taken had no other object than
to protect the interests of his family and those
who were dear to him. He then adverted to the
position of the family and said that under all the
circumstances the defendant had a right to believe
that his fatherindaw was not in a competent state of mind
to make a will, and he had, therefore, pleaded •justification,
and it wculd be for the jury to say, when they had heard all
the evidence that would be laid before them, whether or not
that plea could he sustained. Evidence was then adduced
for the defendant, the principal witnesses being the children
of Mr. Meryweather, who had been residing in the house of
the deceased. According to their testimony, the testator,
William Turner, had on several occasions been guilty of acts
Of great extravagance. That he had insisted upon one a-
dmen to have a teakettle boded in his carriage ; that he
used to tear up deeds and bury them in the garden ; and
also that upon one occasion he had twisted the sheets of his
bed round his neck, ea was supposed with the intention of
destroying himself. Some servants in the establishment of
the deceased also gave testimony of a similar character.
I The Lord Chief Justice then summed up the ease to the
jury, who, after a very short deliberation, returned a verdict
for the plaintiff, damages one thousand pounds.

that.
Upon ref. rcnce being made to the witness's affidavit
when the rule for a criminal information was applied for,
and in answer to questions from Mr. klumfrey, the witness
replied that he did not believe that the peculiarity he ob-
served timer. Lee was the result of intoxication. His belief
at the was, and it had since been more strongly con-
firmed, that the bishop was perfectly sober.
Thomas Phillips, beadle, Mary Phillips (his wife). Mr.
Samuel Hemming, architect, Miss Moore, the daughter of
the incumbent of St. Andrew's ( just examined upon this
point), Miss Rotten, and other attendants of St. Andrew's
church, deposed to Dr. Lee's sobriety on the day he officiate'
at Bishop nyder'. church.
The inflames enumerated above were the witneases ,
mined with regard to two of the defendant's pleas.
The court then proceeded to try the third plea, with
regard to a surgical operation, which does not appear to have
the slightest connexion with the libels uttered by Gutteridge
against the Bishop of Manchester.
1 There is no probability of the trial finishing before Thurs.
ids day night.

&tester, with reference to the proceedings at the General
Hospital in Birmiogbam, and the morning (the Chief Jus-
tice detaining to rit after six o'clock, p.m.), he resumed the
same subject. The cross-examination referred almost ex-
elusively to the conduct of Dr. Lee with regard to his

market altogether. Spanish Bonds of the Five per
Cents. appear to be gradually receding to the to est
point at which they were ever negotiated, say from
7 to 7! per ant.
Foreign exchange was quoted very widely on

limited, proof unhappily conclusive of the deplorable
want of confidence will prevalent in bill transactions.

that they formed part of a great body of Germans who pro- 2 Po. liew•• • i'• 30 Paris and Orbs.* ..

America. They paid fir their plunge at Rotterdam to an ts 1t0.1N.M.,21.421. a,* 20 Roars arid Dom -
agent named Harting, with an understanding that on their ft De.1U1.8.1.,M e D 111 1/p. so &my, woute,,,,oi,

tercd did not sail after five days, the agent should make pro- 60 Leneonatl.Mestere 42a Ji 3 St West ?lumina
vision for them until euth time u they were put aboard. -- -
This proviso had not been adhered to, for i I in-
stances, though the emigrants had arrived in London several
days previously to the sailing of the vowels in which they
had contracted for a voyage, the ship went without them.
Some of these people were very necessitous, and, being left
in such a position, consumed the means on which
they relied for support after their arrival in America.
Hearing that the agent Harting had left this country, and
apprehending that no provision was made for conveying
them to their destination after having paid their money, they
called as a deputation for their countrymen upon the com-
plainant, who was understood to be a friend, and, fr ,m pre-
vious circumstances, the representative of Harting. Finding
themselves so unceremoniously treated, they bad perhaps
exhibited some violence, but not at all to the exteat com-
plained of.-Mr. Yardley admitted that the ease of the de-
fendants was a very hard one, but still it did net warrant
the violence to which they had resorted, more especially as
there was no evidence to show that Mr. Hof war connected
with Harting. From what he could gather, these things
were done on speculation, and the contracts being specifically
made in Itottertiam, it depended on chance whether the men
could go in the vessel for which they engaged. He could
not send these men for trial under the circumstance', seeing
that it might inlet fere with their departure, but he would
permit them to come to some arrangement with the prose-
cutor.-It was ultimately settled that they should pay Hof
11. for tie personal expenses, five shillings for the surgeon's
ed bill, and apologise and enter into their own securities to
keep the peace towards the complainant and his partner.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
PRODUCE.—MINCINO-LANE, APRIL 4.—The sugar
market, or we anticipated from the large quantity offered, ben further
declined. 290 Mids. West India sold by private contract. The public
alien consisted of 9,000 dip Mauritius, 4,300 bags Bengal, 9,000 bap
of Penang: about one-third was bought in by the importers, the
rcensinder (4,1,1 at a decline of 6d. to le. 3,000 bags Madras, and
1,300 bap of China were also offered, but withdrawn at last week's
prices. Relined has been dull, and prices are a shade lower, standard
quality, 53s.—Colfee without alteration.—ltice Good middling
whole sold lie., lie. rd.—Cochineal : 260 bag" of Uonduras silvers
were offered, and, although a decline of 2d. to 3d. was submitted to,
a scull peat only found buyer., 4s, 4s gat —Saltpetre folly maintained
the Lste advance, and purchases to any extent could not be made with-
out paying higher prices.—Talluw iris become dull at 525. 6d. on the
spot.—Tea : The public sales advertised fur Thinsday have suspended
business by private contract.—Cotton continues out of demand,
although the market has rather.improved in Liverpool.—Rum
In other articles no material alteration. but the increasing difficulties
on the Continent obviously have a degreasing inguence on the produce
markets generally.

COTTON.—Llcearocil., APRIL 4.—The market con-
tinues quiet. The sales amount to-day to about 2,500 tales. Prices
thetas= as Friday.
MASICRESTRIL APRIL 4.—Our market to day presents
much the same aspect which it has done during the last ten days. All
opentiune by continental shippers are for the present su‘pended. In
a few cares we have heard of orders being green out conditionally,
with the liberty to canal should circumstances render it necessary.
But, ass general rule, continental business may be said to be quite
paralysed, and there is little hope of any improvement until
European politics get into a more settled state. There
has been some inquiry for the East India and China
markets during the last few days, but it has not resulted In
much actual butanes. The prices at which the few orders given out
base been contracted for are ruinously low. Some bus has teen
doing for the South American market. and Mexico. Thee
honae-trade
!wares are still kept tolerably engaged with country buyers; but
their purchases are exec, dingle limited. The yarn market could
rrareely be flatter or more dispiriting than it has been to-day. The
following circular was bound yeetrrday by Mossre.Birley, Corrk, and
Co., to their creditors:-" Manchester, Aped 3.—Gentlemen: It has
became our painful duty to suspend our payments, and place our pro..
perty in the hand: of our creditors. We are compelled to adopt this
course in cortrequetxe of the failure of remittancesexpected by the last
mail from India, and the di.eouraging aspect of our commercialrelations
with Calcutta. A statement of our affairs wilibe laid before you without
delay, and a proposition for windbag up the estate submitted to your
coosideratioo.—We are, gentlemen, your obedient @etyma% Hinz?,
Codair, xi Co." By the official report of the state of employment bathe
borosch of Manchester, male up to this date, under the inspection of
Capt. Wlllll, ft appears that there are 1,121 fewer hands working full
time, as compared with last week, an increase of 1,314 hands on short
time, and a dimanution of 193 hands in the number out of employmeaL
—Manchester Ernmirter.
WOOLLENS.—LEEDS, APRIL 4.—There was a better
attendance of merchants in the cloth-balls this morning than last
Tuesday, cad their purchase, though more free than last week, were
not very extensive in the aggregate. There was more business done
than on Saturday—a thing not very wad, on account of Iludderefield
market on Tuesdays. The goods chiefly sold comprised cloths, &c.,
suitable for the approaching season, to wit, rifle cloths and wool
blacks of a good quality, with a few fancy fabrics.
BLANKETS.-11ECKMONDW1kE, APRIL 3.—There was
an improved attendance of merchants in the tdanket-hall to-day, but
their operations were only limited in point of extent, and there was
is alteration in prices.

The reply of M. Lamartine to the deputation of Do-
odled Irish patriots at Paris was received in the City
with satisfaction, where perhaps it was accepted in
somewhat too favourable and literal a sense. It did not
escape observation, however, that in his reception of
the Irish demagogues he was left alone,no other mem-
ber of the Provisional Government being present,
although to that government, as a collective body, the
Smith O'Brien demonstration was addressed. The
funds have been steady all day within a range of fluc-
tuation not exceeding per cent. for Console, with
little speculative bustness on foot. The last quotations
were 81 to 1 for money and account, but they had
been done as low as 80a. Exchequer Bills improved
to Ms. to 378. premium. India Bonds, 178. to 20s.
Bargains were done in Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
from 801 to for the opening, exdividend. India
Steck, for account, 230 to 232.
A further depression of prices may be noticed
in the foreign market. The more remarkable
instance was in Dutch stocks, the Two-and
a-Half per Cents. being widely quoted from 30 to 5,
the Fours from 50 to 5, although no transactions
took place at the lower rates. The accounts from
Amsterdam represent a sort of panic among the
dealers and speculators, with a pressure of sellers,
yet with quotations above the highest rates ruling
here. It is understood that some considerable
amounts of stock have been transmitted to this
market with pressing directions for sale, prices
almost at discretion, and to this may be
attributed, if the fact be correctly stated, the
greater depression of the stock values here than in
Amsterdam. Mexican declined to 14; to 15f. One
of the articles of the treaty of peace between Mexico
and the United States, as reported in the New York
wipers, to the effect that the sum of fifteen millions of
dollars to be paid by the United States in yearly in-
stalments of three millions each shall not be trans-
ferred all or any part, is construed unfavourably for
the hopes of the bondholders. For a stipulation was
sought to be introduced, or was introduced, into the
original draft of the treaty, that the fifteen millions,
or a considerable proportion, should be paid over to
the agents of the bondholders in Mexico, so as to be
applied in satisfaction of the dividends on the debt.
