two sureties in 501. each to keep the peace for five years, and
to be further imprisoned until the fines were paid end the
sureties entered into. The other prisoners, Poole, Herbert,
end Irons, were sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, with
the 001110 fines and sureties.

ralraihad never been a member of any secret society, and
the speech for which he had been convicted of sedition was
the only violent speech he hod ever made, as the witnesses
against taint, he said, would have proved if they had been
allowed to do so.
Baron Platt, in poring sentence, said that it was with
extreme pain the court was called upon to pus sentence upon
a man who appeared to have 9115 a r.spectable position in
society, and who had a wife and a large family dependent
upon him. It was with regret they saw such a man place
himself in the position of • fomenter of sedition, and endea-
vour to set society by the ears, and excite periwig
which aimed at the destruction of all society and alt order.
His object was perfectly clear. At a period when rebellion
was resting in the sister country he bad endeavoured to in-
cite the Irish and the &what to join in that attempt, sad to
assist the movement of the disaffected in Ireland by a rising
in this country. The wretched men who had just lett the
bar, the shrieks of whose wives and children were still
rioaine in the ears of the court, were probably among the
victims of his wicked proceedings, and perhaps had been
worked up to the commission of the act for which they
suffered by hie misguided eloquence. He therefore at od in
&position to demand a severe sentence, and the statim he
occupied was a very great aggravation of his offence ; and it
appeared to the court most clearly that he and some others
had been the cause of the dangerous movement intended on
the 16th of August, but which, fortunately for the peace of
the country, had been prevented from arriving at a consum-
mation. He had applied to the court to allow him certain
privileges during his imprisonment, but how could the court
grant such an application ? In that court no distinction
should be made between the rich and the poor,
et if there was, the man of education, and one occurring
&respectable position, and who was aware of his duties, ought
tabs considered deserving of more severe punishment tl.an a
man who was poor and ignorant. Beyer, a poor man who
get his living by hawking fish about the streets, who was
mavicted fur a seditious speech at the same meeting, had
INK been allowed any of the privileges which he now sought
he, and he, therefore, felt that he could not interfere with
=t to his application. He was informed that by the
he would be permitted to write every day if he allowed
his letters to be inspected, and that he could also see his
wife three times a week ; and he had no doubt the alder-
men, who were visiting justices, would grant him every
remonable facility. He had asked f,r mercy on account of
his wife and six children, and his aged parents; but, in
the name of God, why did he not think of his family
before he committed such an offence ? If he did not
himself think of thou who ought to have been dear to
him, and puma before he rushed into such • dangerous
course, it was impossible that the court should be swayed
from performing its duty to the public by such considerations.
The defendant was then ordered to be imprisoned for two
years, to pay a fine of 501., and to enter into recognisance.,
himself in 1001. with two sureties in 501. each, to keep the
peace for five years, and, as in the other cases, to be farther
imprisoned until the fine was paid and the sureties entered
into.
The remaining defendant., Sheppard, Richardson, Green-
slade, Burns Taylor, Cox, Gibbs, Alexander and Samuel
Huby, Wilson, and Small, were then brought up, and having
entered into their own recognisance in the sum of 501., to
appear and take their trials if called upon to do so, they
were discharged from eustody.
The whole of the business being thus concluded, the court
adjourned to Monday, Oct. 23.

circumstances into consideration, I feel bound to adjudge
that the certificate of the bankrupt be suspended until he
hes paid into the hands of the official assignee, or into the
Bank of England, for the benefit of the creditors, the gam
of 5001. ; the payments, if the bankrupt desires it, te be
made by instalments of 1004 every six months, with pro-

His Honour highly disappeared of the use of such abusive
language.

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY EVIIMINIII

The Consols market was rather more active to-day,
and prices were well sustained till some time before
the close of business at an advance of about 3 per cent
upon previous rates. For the account they were
bought up to 86?.. Sellers then made their appear-
ar.ce, and upon one sale more especially of 50,0001. the
market gave way, and Consols left off, as they
opened, at 86 to 1 for money, and 861 to for time.
Exchequer Bills were 295. to t2s. premium. India
Bonds, 28s. to 31s. premium. India Stock, 236 to 8.
Mexican and Portuguese securities were rtill the
chief objects of speculation in the foreign market. The
former were in demand at 19, and bought higher,
but left off 184 t 0,19, money quotations. Portuguese
closed in advance at 24 to 5 for time. A report was
current that the dividend so long talked of and ex-
pected would shortly be advertised for payment.
Spanish Fives were 111 to 12, with little business ;
the Threes, 23 to;; Passive, 2l to 31 ; Dutch Two-
and-a-lhlf per Cents., 441 to 61 ; the Fours, 681 to
91 ex div. CRussian, firm at 99 to 100 ; Danish lower,
at 65 to 8 ; Brazilian were quoted, ex div., at 72 to 4;
Milian, ex div., 83 to 5 ; Peruvian were bought at 30.
From Hamburg, on the 29th ult., as indeed from
other of the chief continental commercial marts,
money still comes reported in the same abundance,
and with the opportunities for its beneficial employ-
ment extremely limited. Bills on all places were not
in supply equal to the demand, and rates were higher.
Exchange on England much in request at better quo-
tations. St. Petersburg exchange was quoted 334
for three months paper, but was advised from thence
on the 23rd ult. at 33 11-16 to 33 23.32 only. Gold
also was becoming scarce and dearer ; it was paid
437. Long paper was taken for discount. At the same
time it is stated that some portfolios were full of bills
on England. Sugars were in active demand at 2s.
advance, and coffees also were better, notwithstanding
the large imports.
By the Hamburg steamer advice, have been re-
ceived from Leipzig to the 28th ult., which note the
progress of the great fair then holding there. For
the Zollverein woollen and cotton fabrics it was pro-
evening favourably, but English and French goods
were extremely dull of sale. Owing to the absence
of the Greek and other foreign buyers furs met with
a very indifferent demand.
The weekly balance-sheet of the Bank of France,
made up to the 28th ult., presents no more remark-
able differences from the week before than the reduc-
tion of the Treasury account by nearly 15 millions
of francs; or say from 56,123,000 francs to 41,336,000.
The coin and bullion in the Paris Bank shows an in
crease of about 870,800 f., and in the branch banks of
1,300,000. The note circulation at 329,628,500 was
104, millions more, and in the branch banks 21
millions less, than at the previous returns. The err
count of "bills overdue" shows favourably by a re-
duction of more than one million francs in the
amount, and remains now at the very inconsiderable
sum of 202,573 f., say 8,1251. only. " Bills protested,"
and bills under discount, taking the head bank and
branches together, exhibit little variation between the
two weeks. The French banks from these returns
appear to be progressing steadily, and should the
country steer clear of more political convulsions, and
the government refrain from pressing for loans or
advances, there would seem nothing in their present
position to prevent their reaching the point of entire
safety within a short space of time. The more
threatening danger must always spring from the
financial derangements, and consequent demand for
accommodation, of the government.
The Belgian banks are discounting more freely,
and proportionally increasing their issues of notes.
The total circulation out on the 25th ult. at 38,753,300
francs, was 1,654,000 more than on the last account

made up ea the 10th of September.
