ANOTHER LETTER TROY SIR R. PEEL—We ex-
tram from the /Voricioh Nero the following letter, ad-
dressed by Sir l Veer to Mr. George Gower, of Small- '
burgh, la reply
.to a question put by that gentleman on
public growths, u reference to the spplicetion of the 20 per
cent. set apart to his tenantry by the right hon. baronet
I will with pleasure answer the question which you fat to
me. My tomato quite understand that the 20 per cent, of
the current year's rent is to be applied in each ease ' most
beneficial to the farm.' Draining, the removal of useless
fences, and the preservation of manure, wore named ea
entiiled to preference, frau a conviction on my part that
such improvements, where required, are more for the real
benefit of a tenant than any outer. They have also the ad-
vantage of employing labour. There are eases on this estate
on which, so tat as cencerns draining and fences, such im-
provements have been already made. In those cases the
tenant is equally to have the lull benefit of the 20 per tent.
allowance. I hope be will agree with me, that the first
eject foe his interest should be to provide effectually against
width of that manure which is made upon the farm; that
b.:ling done, there will not be the slightest **waive on my
part to apply the balance to the purchase of other manures

LOLA MONTEL—WO nnderstand from the beet
authority, that Mr. Heald, late of the 2nd Life Guarde,
whose resignation of his ocimasion wee eonsequent on his
nuptials with the above celebrated lady, bee returned to
England, and is now residing at the Burlington Hotel,
having lift his quondam spouse to the tender mercies of two
Freak gentlemen at Cadiz, with whose mental and per-
sonal attractions she had become enamoured. Mr. Heald,
we imagine, may esteem bia.elf particularly fortunate if
he purchases future rest from the esesatrie Lola at the
expense of a liberal settlement, tibia, we understand, he

Tux LIVERPOOL POSTMASTER MID THE COMMIS-
110111illa or BASICSUPTCY.— A bankrupt named Olvey
having absconded, and a belief existing that letters ad-
dressed to the bankrupt, containing remittances, went is the
heads of the Liverpool postmaster, as order wee aged by
Mr. Commissioner Stevenson, calling upon him to deliver
them up. This crder sot being complied with, Mr. C B
Beaton wee on Fridey summoned before Mr. Cilia.
sioner Perry. la answer to questions put, be e: reseed •
doubt whether, from the instructions under which he is
compelled to act, he need acknowledge the 'cm of the
letters, or give them up. The court said that such instruc-
tion would not protect him in disobeying ea °nier of the
court ; for a subsequest act of parliament to the one
under which his instructions were framed made them
of no effect,—Mr. Banning said he wee simply obeying
the order of his soperier.—The court informed him
that if he refused to deliver up the letters, be would
bear the risk, not the roatemetex-Osseral—Mr. Ban-
ning, however, still refused. Alter some words pro and con.,
ft wee agreed that Mr. Cezenowe, the odlcial assignee, should
make a formal application to Mr. Massing for the production
of say lettere addrested for Olvey sad Cottrell ; and the
court was adjourned for an hour. Oa returning Mr. Banning
stated that there were five letters at the notit-oMee, two
directed Olvey and Co., and the other three Olvey, Guertin,
and Co. Mr. Binning wee then formally Baked to deliver or
re-direst them to the official assignee. This, he said, he did
not feel himself at liberty to do. Mr. Beans then applied
to the court to @math Mr. Banning to Lancaster Castle for
contempt. Before sat order to this effect wee given, • clues-
, tioa era as to the liability of the poetaster to give op
thus letters upon which the name of CotterriU appeared;
and, after some disewnion in which it appeared the wart
would be satisiled if the Other two were given up (though
Mr. Braes premed for the whole), Mr. Sensing gave way
as far as they were consemed, and by so doing put as end
to the mita.

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY EVENING._

The EngFab stock market has been rather unsteady
to-day, the extreme fluctuation u between the high-
est slid lowe,t point having been full /per cent. for
the opening, whtlst for money it was only 41 per cent.
Business continued to be transacted yesterday, after
the usual el. sing hour of the house, and consols were
done at } and I below the closing quotation es offi-
cially announced.. This circumstance will account for
the decline at which consols opened to-day. They
were tint celled 971 to ex-dividend, both for money
aid Wednesday next, when the opirations of the
"Balls" preparing fur the approaching settlement
threw stock Lpon ere market, and the price for
the account felt to 961: ; there transactions, however,
being cancludtil, they soon rallied, ard were next
done at 971, then at 1, and last at 1, cloaing officially
et 971 to 1. For mobil they were done from 97 to
1. After the regular hours of business, however, in
consequence of iLs being confidently asserted that the
Bank of England had raised the interest on loans
upon emboli fro 2 to 21 per cent., quotations
tepidly declines. The last pike called was 961 to
at which figure the marks:. was still very unsettled.
The Terre per Cent. Reduced were negotiated "va-
riously from 97:7 to 1; and the New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Conte. tram 994 to 1. The Three per
Cent. Annuities, 1751, were dealt in at 95.

The following are the extreme prices at which

Tue business in joint-stock bank shares continues
limited. The following are the transactions of the
week :—Lor.dcn Joint Stock (101. paid), 17) ; Na-
tional Provimial of England (351. paid), 37; ditto
New (101. paid), 11 ; South Australia (251. paid), 281.
An improved time and more extensive buying. on
the part of the public have been the distinguishing
charscteriir ic of the Railway share market during
the week which is past, and to day more especially
has this been the case, causing a material advance in
the price of nearly all the leading lints, Edinburgh
and Glasgow excepted, which is lower. The in-
creased value of shares is most observable: in London
and North Western, London and south Western,
Brighton, Midland, Great Western, and South East-
ern. The gross receipts on this latter line for the
week ending the sth instant show a remarkable in-
crease, being about 55 per cent, more than for the
corresponding week last year.
The following is our list of the extreme prices at
which business was done in shares during the week :
