THE MONEY MARKET.

The reception of the budget to-day seemed unequive.
cal. The mortification with which a renewal and
increase of the income-tax, without the slightest mitiga-
tion of any one of its injurious features, is viewed by
every class in intense, but the satisfaction and conscious..
ness of relief at getting rid,-for ever, of all the protective
obstructions that still remained to disfigure or baffle the
commercial system of Great Britain are sufficient to
overpower every other consideration. Consols, accord-
ingly, opened with a very firm appearance, at a further
advance of k, and subsequently showed increased
strength. About £20,000, in bar gold, was taken from
the Bank.--Times.

Mr. Gladstone's bold and comprehensive financial
statement was read with great favour in the Stock Ex-
change this morning, and caused the funds to open at a
rise of •'' per cent. Late in the afternoon some specula-
tive sales were pressed, but the closing quotations were
still ir. per cent. above those of yesterday. The approv-
ing veftiliet passed by the Stock Exchange is endorsed
by the commercial classes. It is impossible to ignore
the invitation to peace and confidence involved in the
commercial treaty between the two greatest nations of
'the world. In the discount market there was, in some
quarters, rather more disposition to lend.—Daily News.

The Princess Frederio of the jNetherlanda, and her
daughter the Princess Mary, intend, according to the
Notional Zenon", to leave Berlin in a few days, on a
visit to the. English. Court, and then, in compliance
with the advice. of the physicians, to make a long stay
at the Isle of Wight. Prince Frederick will accom-
pany his royal consort to London, and then return to
the Hague.
ARMY AND NAVY PENSIONERS' EMPLOYMENT SO-
CIETY.—This institution, established in 1855, although
it contained the elements of great utility, and had met
with a large amount of support from the public, was
nevertheless-in debt to a considerable amount, and its
existence imperilled. In the summer of the past year
this state of affairs became known to one of the original
subscribers, who expressed his belief that the society
might -be re-organised, if constituted on a differea
basis. Under these Circumstances the former cow-
mittee, anxious to carry out the original object of
the society, but unable, many of them, to give the.
necessary attention to its business, offered to resign ,'when-
ever - efficient successors were found. After a larsewas7

MR. GLIESTONE'S GREAT SPEECH.—It will be diffi-
culteven for Mr. Glidstonelo =Tress his lateseachieic-
ment as a statesman and an orator, Certainly nU man
needs less than Mr, Gladstone to awaken public sympa-
thy 'by any: theatrical artifice; and when he walked'
IT the ministerial' bench a few minutes before five,
with, a huge bundle of• documentary matter under
his arm, it:was eyident that, is spite of all the (Motors,
he disdained to wear the nimbus of self-sacrifice; br•to
look like a martyr who had risen from his 'bed. • There
was not the slightest affectation of recent sickness and
suffering, nothing that the ladies' cage would call "inter;
esting ' in the unaffectedly calm and resolute walk, the
self-possesscd,unconscious,ready air,and the well-balanced:
tones of a voice that always sounds to us like the dialect
of Lancashire tempered with Attic. Yet there was just.
enough of effort discernible in the skilful accentuation of
certain passages to make careful listeners aware that it
was an effort, and a four hours' speech without a mo-
thent's hitch or hesitation was none the less wonderful
that it was the speech of a patient who had barely:
escaped inflammation' of the lungs. To give; a-man a-
good name is almost as serious' in its consequences;
as to give a dog a bad one. Mr. Gladstone
is 'known to be one of the most finished speakers
of. our time ; he is, therefore, pronounced-.- a
"'rhetorician." He is a master of all 'the arts,' and
methods, and graces of eloquence; he never•bungle,s or
breaks down ; he never talks bad grammar, loses sight of
Ids nominative in pursuit of a verb, or confounds his re-
lit"Yes in search of an antecedent; and therefore he is

ENTERTAINMENT OF ALDERMAN WM.
. , BENNETT TO HIS. EMPLOYES.

Ono of those happy 'entertaiiirrtents which so often
occur in the 44 gbod old town," came Off on Friday night
at the Star and 'Garter Hotel, Queen-square.
As.is customary, .William Bennett,. Esq., the extensive.
ironfounder in Sir Thomas-buildings,,entertained about
WV' of his employers to a splendid supper, which was
served up in Mr. Chalk's usual gOod 13tyle. The ehair
was occupied by Mr. _Stanley IlorrOcks' the efficient
manager of the encrineer pdepartmentilmid the vice-chair
was filled. by Mr.
--The cloth' having.,been removed, after 'ample justice
!lad been: done to the good things•prepired,
The' CnAnueAN gave in succession " The health of.
their beleved. SOVereign, Queen Tiotoria," which was
drank amidst appliiitse;• "The frince,COnsort, Albert,
Prince of Wales, .and • the-rest of the Royal Family',"
The Artak. and xaq. of Great Britain." coupled with
the "Liverpool Volunteers;". each toast being.
received Wilirthe most marked-demonstrations of loyalty
and respect.
The CHAIRMAN rose and called for a bumper. Ile.
was about to give them a toast, which, he was con-
vinced, would be well received. (near, hear.) - Theyt.
had an indulgent and excellent ernploYt, and one whosw
great object was to have a body of sober men employed,
and .whose desire was te‘see them -contented and happy.
(APPlanse.) Theylvere assembled that evening to par..;
take of:his!(Mr. Bennett's) hospitality, .and.he was sure
they would all concur "with •him-. (the Chairman) in
saying that a better ereployer was not in Liverpool.
(Loud cheers.) ;lie,
.should not' detain them further,
but 'would gibethe "health of 'Alderman' Bennett;'`
and would add, ‘.‘ long , life anl. prosperity to him."
The .toast' Was: drunk , amidst deafening. plaudits and
"one 'cheer more. - • This toast having, been duly,
acknowledged; :seine pieces of harmony • were well gone
through.
The next toast was that of " The Chairman,". which
was.well responded to. Then followed those of " The
Vice-Chairman," " The ' Employes preSent," " The
worthy host and hostesS, Mr. and Mrs.. Chalk," all of
which were warmly received and most enthusiastically
drank. •
' After spending a happy evening together, the Chair-
man rose and gave " Our next merry meeting," when
the respectable company:separated, highly pleased. and
delighted with the evening's entertainment, and wishing
for many happy rettirns,of the season:
It may:.not' be out of place to mention that Mr.
Bennett gives 'constant and remunerative employment
the whole year round to a large staff of workmen, at his
extensive establishments in Liverpool, and. never fails to'
impress upon them the identical interests existing
between the employer'and the emplOnd, as well as their
duties towards their familieS, and the ineiiinbent neces7
sity devolving upon them of providing for.. those under
their care, instead of squandering their earnings in the
beershop or public-house. This is as it should be.

TREASURE TRovE.—A moruiita or two since one of
the porters in the employ of the Bristol and. Exeter
Railway Company went into the water-closet for the
purpose of sweeping the floor, and seeing a bundle on
the floor gave it a kick, and was just about to leave the
place when it struck him that he might as well pick it
up, and on doing so be discovered it to be no less than a
bundle of bank notes, to the amount—so says rumour—
of about three thousand- pounds. He at mice carried
the notes to Mr. Mears, the superintendent, in whose
possession, we believe, they still remain, no application
or notice of the loss having yet been communicated to
him,--Xlymouth Journal.

MR.- J. -IL --ANDERSON, -4' THE - WIZAR-D-•
.-OF - THE. NORTH," IN THE; SA WICH
ISLANDS. •
This necromancer, so well known in Liverpool for his
magical performances,. in his last letter, posted.from Cali-
fornia, gives an amusing account of his professional visit
to Honolulu, the capital town of tb.ekingdorn of Hawaii,
-arid to the:court of Kiao• .liamehaineha IV, whose
ancestors, only. some eighty years ago,. were heathens
and , cannibals. The astonishment. produced on the
PatiVe. mind by. . " the Professer's". clever :tfiCks may
'easily be imagined. But we shall let him :speak, for
himself, by giviiig.a feW extracts from his very length-
ened communication. , The Wizard, after spending
-.upwards of twelVe months in 'a ibui throughout 'Ails-
' tralia, chartered a vessel'to take him and his family to
California, calling en routes however, fOr a week, at the
Sandwich Islands.

• ,
"riOn s arriving 'at Honolulu;' I found. 'everything new.
How different from Anstralial In Honolulu the
.scene
was changed; and, for the 'first time since I left Eng-
land, I found myself from home. A different people—
costumes.and Character.

My countrymen:- are here-7of course, where on earth
are they not? Here, aS in every country, they 'hold
posts of -honour and- trust. It. C. Wyllie, Fig., is the
King's Minister of Foreign Relations-L-he is a native of
Ayrshire—of the same family as Sii*James Wyllie, late
physician to the Emperor of Russia ;. "William Webster,
Esq., the King's Land Agent, is a native of Kirkcud-
bright ; Mr.. William M'Lean, a storekeeper, " frae
Dundee.;" and Mr. Henry M'Farlane,- the great hotel-
keeper of Honolulu. All these gentlemen are " weelqo
dae" in the world—in fact, all Europeans do well here.
The only difficulty 'I experienced was in endeavouring
to make 'the announcement to the natives in their own
language—" The Wizard of the' North has arrived in
Lionolulu." No terms can be found in their language
for " wizard" and " magic," as no professor of :my art
ever visited Honolulu before. All the advertisements
I could get up was, " That a man had arrived on the
island who would do things that no other man had ever
done, before.. 'The terms they afterwards• used for. me
Was " Ka alimae keo keo kane Anderson" "(the 'expert
white man Anderson). ".,,The natives were somewhat
sceptical at first. Ah !" said they,

work of " Ke diabolo" (the D 1), or had they been

for he Was sure no ".kanki" (native) or Oen" Keo keo

natives called out for "Kooleion," a native whisky, ,
distilled froma coot, and prohibited by the Government.
When the " Koolemii," ran from the bottle they .

On proceeding by invitation to visit the Kind, the guard
at the Palace turned out to receive them. The officer
!was not quite certain whether he could admit me with-
out an order; although in company with the Minister
for -Foreign Affairs: Mr. Wyllie; however, after a few
'words with the officer; introduced me to him. I pre-
sented my hand which he grasped ; 'and, as he did so, he
.screamed out that he was heldby hundreds of d—ls, who
were sticking- pins into his body. The crowd shouted ;
and, as the military are not very popular with the natives,
they seemed delighted to see the soldier wri thing in agony.
I let go his hand :and he started off into the square. of
the• palace' shouting,' with all the power of his lungs,
that:" Ka diaboler (the:deVil) had arrived. ' The whole
ofthe inhabitants ofthe palace turned out. • Mi. Wyllie
was astonished and could :not account for " the strange
'scent he had witnessed.... tie asked me to explain.-,

few seconds wore in the audience chamber.; The king
was • not present:: when 'we adVafieed, but in, a few
minuteklie•entered. " Your Majesty," said Mr. Wyllie,
"allow me to present to,yon ProfesStif Anderson." " Sit
down Mr. Anderson," said his Majesty, "this is not the
first time Wo-have• met." I was somewhat Silrpri'sed
when hig Majesty informed me that lie with his brother,
Prince • Lot Kamehameha, witnessed my performances
hi London on his- last visit to Eurcipe. .He'was.delighted
to see me,, and bid me: "Aireleortie•te 'Hawaii.' His
Majesty spoke of the effect my performanceS had on him
in London; he-never thought that he should:entertain the' ,
Wizard of :the North in his.doininions: The King
asked Mr. Wyllie what was the matter with the guard:,
Mr. Wyllie described to his Majesty' what had taken
plaCe with the-, officer of the guard; and the lan,c4-hable,
scene which he was witnese to. '" Ah !" said the"King;'
" I cannot understand _how, Mr, Anderson could make
my-officer scream,, and, get him in isuch, a fright." •!- I
told his Majesty' I thought if le Would permit -me to.-
haVe the honoii? Of shaking, hands With him, he Would
not be surprised. The King stretched forth his hand; he
started, making a,
,reiw muscular contortions. I .released
his band. His irajbstS, was astonished, as he had 'no knoW-
ledge'of the agent! employed. He insisted that Mr:Wyl.lW
should have .a "practical explanation." My friend
Wyllie could not account for the phenomenon; lie.reluc-
tantly.gave me his hand ; of conrse, I•could use a .little
more freedOM With the Minister of Foreign, Affairs. than
I could with the King. He writhed and screamed, and.
begged to be released ;
.and when free he said, " I am
not surprised at the officer 'thinking you the devil, for if
you are not his Satanic Majesty, you 'are ,‘ no canny."'
Tlto 'King' requested me as'' a tato& to explain, the
phenomena ; to which I, at once assented. I showed his
Majesty that I had a small galvanic battery in my pocket.-
With the metallic cords communicating up the back, cif:.
my coat, running down the,steeve of my right arm, also
communicating . witly the palm of the .hand,, which,
with metallic threads within the palm,of the glove, pro,
duced,,as soon as the battery was put', in action in the
pocket (which I Worked with a spring the moment the
hand was grasped); a 'powerful shock. The party gyasp.
ing the hand of the 'Operator could not let go till he
pleased. The surprise of the King and Mr. Wyllie was .
ended as they saw. the apparatus in explarihtion. The
King' requested me to sell' him the machine., . I had
brought it to surprise and, at the same time, present to
his Majesty. I then requested his Majesty' to accept it,
which he did with' thanks, requesting Mr. Wyllie to -
keep the secret; as he intended .to astonish the chiefs
whom he had invited from the neighbouring isles to
witness my entertainment, which he intended to do in.
state on Monday next, accompanied by her Majesty,
Qu'een Emma. ,So ended my first interview ,with
Kamehanieha IV. A.s we'left the palace the officer on
duty asked no. question, but, in pantomime, at a
distapce, told us that he still felt the effects of an intro-
duet On to a ICooleiyeu."
In the' morning the King and chiefs came to see
my arrangementl,, with which , they were much, sur-
prised,' as, they. Itad never seen the theatro decorated
in EUroPean • Style: 'His Majesty, took the oppor-
tunity of looking at my apparatus (which is well
known to your , readers). 'He also ,admired its. scien-
tific
..and artistic character. The ',King 'had witnessed
myperformances -in Europe, but its character and.
nature were, entirely new to the chiefs, although they.
had heard strange reports of what. they were to see.
They walked with fear and , aive amongst my magic
implements. I placed my galvanic battery in connection
with one of my large' metallic candelabra, and induced,
one of the chiefs to take hold of it. lle was fast on the
instant, 'screaming, at the top of his voice..
.The King
and the other chiefs were delighted to see the chief
writhing in all the groteSque .distortions im. finable,
Once releaSed, he 'jumped off the 'Stage ; nor could
he, even at the request of the.. King, be,in,duced again to
approach, within the; "magic temple." Ile sat
down on one of the chairs in the front row of the par-
quettee. I, requested the King to tell him to keep.himself
steady by holding on to the arms of the., chair. No
sooner; did he take hold than he 'was fixed, and in a'
worse state. than before.. When released, he believed
the whole building was composed of devils.' " Out he
rushed ; nor could, he be persuaded, to re-enter.; -, The
King was pleased With my arrangements, and 'thanked
me. for the amusement occasioned by the trick played on
his chief. He saidit would do ]rim; good, as lie would
himself explain to him the principles of galvanism at.
