MONEY MARKET.

ISAIVIDAT 11,119=0.
In the money market dada, the week no decided
change has taken plane, sad the rates for loan and
discount have undergone no variation. With refer-
ence to the letter, however, it most be observed, that
there is an evident &rim if not an attempt, on the
part of the hading discount houses, to tighten the
rater, and paper having more than three months to
run must pay the extra -I per cent., although first
class short bills continue to be done as heretofore, at
21 to 21 per cent.
The following are the extreme prices at which
Consols and Exchequer Bills were negotiated each
day during the week:

In joint stock bank shares, transactions are reported
as having been effected at the following rtes during
the week :—London Joint 8 ock (101. pad), at 171
ex div.; London and Westminster (201. paid), at 23;
and lex div. National Proviccial of England (35/.
paid), at 38; ex div.
Dock shares have been dealt :in as under :—Com-
mercial at 85 ; East and West India at 141 ; East
Country at 21; London a:1181; Bt. Katherine at 81
and 82. . .. .

-- -__
The exports of coin and bullion this week, direet
from London, have been confined to 99,000 ounces of
silver to France and Belgium.
The share market during the week has been in-
active, and without any feature of particular novelty,
speculators continuing disinclined to o: erate till the
result of the coming meetings is known, whilst the
dealings for investment are the reverse of extensive.
The absence of movement in the railway market is,
however, sufficiently. accounted for by the ex-
cite-cea; prevailing in the market for S 'nth Amt-1
ricen &cantles, which appear to engross the
entire attention of the dealers. Prices gene-
rally have been rather weak, and to-nay's closing
quotations, as compared with those of last Saturday,
show a decline of 30e. in Brighton@ and Great
Westerns. The fluctuation has been most important
is Leeds and Bradford., which fell full 8 per cent.
during the week, in consequence of its being stated
that attempts will b.t med.) to disturb the lease. The
market for this description, however, has since almost
las suddenly recovered, and to-day's prices are only IL
below those of last week. For Hull and Selby. the
market has been h. avy, and the 501. shares are quoted
about 41. lower. For other lines prices have under-
gone very little variation.
With respect to the forthcoming dividends of course
nothing certain is as 3 et known, bat it is stated pretty
confiden ly by parties who profess to have access to
;nod information that the Great Western Company,
a addition to a dividend at the rate of four per cent,
can carry over a considerable sum,—not far short of
50,0001. ; and that the London and North-Western
dividend will be at the rate of six per cent., which
will alto leave a round sum to be carried over. In
this letter case, however, a difference is stated to exist
at the board as to the amount cf the balance which
ought to be carried over. The Midland directors are
said to have settled the dividend at 25e. per cent. for
the half year, car) icg a balance of some 17,0001.
over to toe next account.

MARK-LANE —THIS DAT.
There was but a very short supply of English Wheat at st.
market this morning by land carriage samples from Eseex,
and only a moderate one from K.,nt. The condition was x,
more or less sffscted by the late damp weather. Good dry 10
samples brought rather over last week's quotations, whilst St.
the seneral runs retlised tally former rates. In foreign Le
Wheat bat little business was transacted, and its value under- I.;
went no change. Fine English malting Barley sold readily 20
at full prices; but secondary do uriptiorn were a heavy wile. 10
Notwithstanding the moderate arrivals of Oats during the 100
we..k, it was rot pi a ibis to establish any general advance in 2
price ; the tarn however was in favour of the seller. Beans 23

SMITHFIELD MARKET—THIS DAY. 10
The supply of Beasts is rather smaller than on Monday LI
last, and U. average quality is Namely so good; consequently u
the choicest kinds are freely bought; but trade is exceedingly 12
dull for all other descriptions. We cannot make any 30i
higher quotations. The number of Sheep is about the 3,3)
mine as of late; they are rather more in demand, and i;
in • few instances a little more money is given, but we can. to
not, on the average, realise a quotable advance. Calves are •0
still searee, and quite as dear. Trade is very heavy for 20
and prices continue low. From Germany and Holland 33
there are 109 Beasts and 16 Calves ; France, 6 Beasts and I,
100 Sheep; Scotland, 300 Beasts; Norfolk and Suffolk, up
2,390; and 200 from the Midland Counties.

Mr. W. Fagan, M.P., Colonel Chatterton, M.P.,
and a deputation had an interview with Lord John Russell
on Saturday at his (Alicia residence in Downing-street.
PROTECTION MEETING IN YORRIMIRE.—On
turdey last a meeting of landowners and oth re, belonging to
the But Riding of Yorkshire, was held at the Court House,
Beverley, to petition parliament for a return to protection.
The farmers mustered strongly in the morning, and agreater
number attended the meeting than were ever congregated at
a similar gathering in that county since the present protec-
tionist agitation commenced. They were not suffered, how.
ever, to have all their own way, there befog a rather nume-
roue attecdasee of free traders ; but they were not allowed
to move any amendment to the resolutions which were pro-
posed. Notwithstanding this, those resolution' did not pass
unopposed.
EARL HAItEWOOD INTERDICTING MARRIAGES.—
The Leeds Times says,—We prang our readers with
a verbatim et literatim copy of a " notice" which his been
served upon all the cottage tenants of the Earl of Halewood,
in the village of Harewood, and other pleas on the estate:—
"In consequence of the continued practice of over-crowding,
and taking lodgers into the cottages upon the Harwood
estate (more especially within the village of Hareweod), con-
trary to the expreu agreements and regulations, notice is
hereby given, that any cottager, being a tenant of the
Earl of Harewood, who shall from the date hereof, take
in any lodger, or whose son or daughter shall marry and
bring home to the cottage, wife or husband, without
having previously obtained permission from the Earl of
Harewood, shall receive notice to quit ; which notice will
be strictly enforced ; and if in the employment of the said
earl shall be discharged. Wx. MAUOHAN, agent. Hare-
wood, Jan. 15, 1860." There's a precious document for the
middle of the 19th century I A nice specimen of what free
and enlightened and Christian England would become,
if these protectionist landlords had full swing!
This is carrying out the principle of " protection" with
• vengeance. The Duke of Newcastle innocently asked,
"May I not do as 1 like with my own 1" when be
drive his tenantry to poll like a flock of sheep. But he
was a mere WO in the school of " protection " when
compared with Lord Harwood. ' Hear it, ye people of
Harewood, and country sound about,' proclaims his lord-
ship, 'if any of you young men and women dare to marry
those you love--if any of you old men and mothers dare to
gement to such marriage—l, Lord Harwood, your ' pro-
tectionist landlord,' will instantly drive you from hews and
home, and employment, to die in the wayside ditches, or
become outcasts and wanderers on the face of the earth!"
