"OILY GAMMON" FOR EVER.

Brother Electors,—Vote for "Oily Gammon" and
tow
o•side. What if he appeals to you as " towns-
luen," When he is not a townsman himself? Does
that matter ? What if he says that his opinions
the same now as they were in 1852 ; and what
k they Were then neither himself nor any one else
ion°,"? Does that matter? What if he and
/il)'3'ou outside at the opening of St. George's
•'3ll, whilst we feasted with the nobs in the
I"ide? Does that matter ? What if we also
,
PPropriated all the tickets for the exhibition of
Dltintings at the Town Hall to ourselves and our
fr-encls? Does that matter ? What if he was
turned out of his seat, in 1852, for bribery and
taoirruption
Does that matter? What if a cer -
to ti firm, with his name in it, has chiseled the
e,,lvu out of a few hundreds in dues, by calling
thisboxes? Does that matter? In spite of all
4lbs;i not a " Tory" and a "gentleman," in favour
as 'otry, bribery, and beer? (The two latter on
Itileconernieal a scale as you please, gentlemen.)
thera 'IP, then, and vote for " Oily Gammon," is

There is no change to notice hi the Money
'Market. To day the Funds were rather heavy,
and on the whole prices are a shade lower than on
Saturday. Consols for Money were at one time as
high as 931, but afterwards declined, and closed at
931 to 93w, For the account the closing price
was 931 to 938, having touched 931 during the
earlier part of the morning. Exchequer Bills were
steady at par to 3 p.m.

We are in receipt of New York advices to the
evening of the 10th inst. The Bank statement had
afforded satisfaction, and the smooth working of
the Money Market throughout the month was
generally confided in, although the transactions
for the first week in the month averaged higher
than ever before known in New York, being nearly
thirty one millions per day. The banks continued
to gain specie. Money was growing gradually
easier, and sterling exchange was on the decline.
The fears felt of an excessive accumulation of gold
in the National Treasury have been dissipated by the
reduction in the tariff. This modification will reduce
the revenue about 15,000,000 dols, taking the imports
of the current fiscal year for a basis, and as the
appropriations have likewise been increased the
disbursements will, no doubt, be brought up to
a level with the receipts, thus preventing any
new accumulation in the government coffers.
The new tariff will also cause the usual imports of
May and June to be held back until July. These
various causes have developed a disposition to
speculate, and the prospect of easy money until
July will doubtless tend to give great activity to
the Stock Market throughout the spring season.
Against this upward tendency the chief opposition
is based on the diminished traffic and earnings of
the railroads since the beginning of the year, the
heavy snows and freshets having suspended or
interrupted transportation during the greater part
of January and February. The message of the
new President breathes a conservative and pacific
tone, both as regards domestic and foreign policy,
and advocates the rapid reduction of the public
debt. The new Secretary of the Treasury has
not yet stated at what price he will redeem
Government Stocks. The Cotton Market
was dull, and only 6,000 bales had changed
hands during the week, and prices had declined
cent. per lb. The crop was still set down at
about three million bales. The Breadstuff trade
was dull, and showed a declining tendency. Pro-
visions were rather active at advancing prices.
Freights showed no improvement.
The price of St. Petersburg Y. C. Tallow for
delivery at the end of the present month has
been run up to 70s per cwt, owing to the efforts
of the speculators, although the price of the same
article for delivery in April is only 52s 9d to 535.
The explanation of this extraordinary difference
in price consists in the fact that, for the set-
tlement at the end of the present month, the
speculators for higher prices have got the ope-
rators for a fall completely " into a corner."
It must not be supposed, however, that the
difference in price represents profit to the
monopolists, for they will remain holders of a large
quantity of tallow purchased on speculation, and,
in the opinion of many persons, will ultimately
sustain heavy losses, owing to the reduced price
of tallow for periods beyond March. The extent
to which the Greek and other speculators have
of late carried their operations in tallow, is viewed
with regret and dissatisfaction in most quarters,
as utterly deranging the market, and even tend-
ing to discourage the tallow trade at this port.
The Committee of Consultation of the Australian
Agricultural Company have issued their report:
The statements therein contained are of course
ex parts, and the directors will doubtless have
an opportunity of reply. Sufficient is proved,
however, to place it beyond question that the
directors, though men of high respectability, and
themselves holding one-tenth of the entire capital
of the company, have permitted its affairs to lapse
into a sad state of confusion. The paid-up
capital of this company is no less than £380,000,
and its territorial possessions extend over 690,702
acres. The committee allege that the horse stock,
which cost large sums, has so deteriorated as to be
nearly worthless; that the sheep, which represent in
the company's books a value of at least £130,000, are
now worth scarcely £5,000 ; that large num
begs of the cattle have been altogether lost ;
that Captain Brownrigg's management has been in
other respects of the most unsatisfactory and
unremunerative character ; that the system of
accounts is glaringly lax and altogether unintelli
gible ; that no audit whatever has 'taken place of
the colonial accounts, which comprise by far the
largest portion of the company's disbursements;
and that the reports of the new superinten--
dent, Mr. Arthur Hodgson, form " a painful
narrative of extravagance, mismanagement, and
even of peculation, which, through the
neglect of previous superintendents, has been
practised on the company's property." Altogether,
the committee's report, supposing that its allega-
tions cannot be rebutted, gives a striking illustra..
tion of the extent to which abuses can creep into
the management of joint stock undertakings. The
alacrity with which the directors have placed all the
books and documents 'at the service of the com-
mittee is, however, duly recorded. The committee

appear to have shown a degree of laborious per-
severance, which, whatever be the final result of
their investigations, entitles them to the gratitude
of the proprietors.

The supply at to•dav's market consisted of 1,694 beasts,
and 4,844 sheep. The beet deecriptions of beef met a
fair delnand without alteration in value, middling and low
were a slow sale at worse prices than those of last week ;
prime mutton made fully former rates, but rough Irish
sheep were almost neglected, and for this quality con-
siderably lower prices had to be taken to effect a clear-
ance.
