AFITIOCITT OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—A
eserespondent of the Spectator points oat that although the
elealric telegraph is considered by many to be the meat
weaderful of modern inventions, yet the following en-
treat will chew that the idea of such a podium of
nenanaleation was started long ago. It is from •

he had a mind to write anything to his friend, he directed
his needle to every letter that formed the words which he
had occasion for, making a little pause at the end of every
word or sentence, to avoid confusion. The friend in the
meanwhile taw his own sympathetic :wells moving of itself'
to every letter which that of his correspondent pointed at.
By this means they talked together earns • whole continent,

Sin Prr Es LAME% LRGACY.—A well-known Irish
member of the Moue of Common@ was once upon a time re.
cliniog on a couple of chairs in Bellamy's in that luxurious
state of dreamy repose which attends the proems of healthy
=a, when one of the two bearded members of the le-
chanotid to pent him. " Ah, —," exclaimed
the drowsy senator, " how do yew do I" A few minutes
later he was waited upon by a oommon friend, charged to
intimate to him that the gallant colonel expected an apology
for satialsetion for the apostrophe. Having ascertained that
the message was sent m downright earnest, the uninten-
tional offender made an ample apology, but naturally
apprehensive that the apology iteeLf might give offence
to the wearer of the other beard, he recalled the
bearer of the cartel, to beg "he would not tell
M—." Our present PM is somewhat parallel to that
of the unlucky Irishman. We have been called upon
to apologise to the memory of Mr. Adderley for expressing •
belief that he had admired Sir Peter Laurie in his capacity
of magistrate. The imputation wee a grave one we admit,
though the Morning Herald, which led as into the mistake,
was more to blame than we. Waiving, however, this con-
sideration, we beg most heartily and amply to pologies to
the memory of Mr. Adderley, and to make what amends we
rem by publishing his friend's connter.eletement. At the
sem time we mewl, like our prototype. beg our com-
mit to tea Sir Peter, who might take it ill to hear
coil "Set the camp of regarding him "an active and
i stegteleate" Is • tameseietest midi the respect

COMMERCIAL If MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'C7ock.—We have again to report another
mod deplorably important failure, arising out of the
insolvencice of other houses mid to transactions in the
corn trade. The highly respectable house of Messrs.
Castellon), Bons, and Co: hand themselves under the
necessity of declaring their inability to meet their
teLWlis last evening. The liabilities are
llienn respectable quarters not to be less
than half a million sterling. Of the assets no
estimate is yet known, but, from the extent to which
the firm is involved in other insolvent quarters, with
the Messrs. 'Fraser and Co., of Antwerp, alone for
30,0001. or 40,0001., according to report, it may be
feared that they will result very indifferently. Mr.
Castellain, sen., is the consul for Belgium.
The brokers and dealers are actively engaged in
making up their books for the settlement on Thurs-
day next, the options to be declared to-morrow.
There is consequently little other business going on.
Consobi are quoted 87 for money, and 87 to for
Thursday. Reduced Threes, 871 to 1. Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents., 881 to 9. Exchequer Bills, par
to 4s. premium.
The foreign market is heavy, rith depressed quo-
tations in some stocks. The Dutch came in decline
from Amsterdam on the 21st. The Two-and-a-Half
p Cents. are lower here also to-day, at 68 to,ktle:
Fours, 89 to 1. Spanish Fires, 20 to 1 ; there
291 to Wt. P , 27 to 9. Mexican, 181 to
I. New Grenada, IDTo 20. Other foreign securities
as before.
