Matsui on Wedne,ilay, that a contest In-twee. tNII
parties on the Stock Exchange was the itTiaci net
ionise of their extraordinary clopres.i.m. It si.l be
'recollected. *bat when the late loan srs% contracted
for by the coalesced interests of the two houses of
B•atsts and Liohasuto, the ce-rdt of these jonst
trine was so great, ss to place Maniere mimed' ately
nt u high pvinition, idthotrih the rate of interest
upon the loan was very low. But the coalition. and
these its effects, because on tlds very account fin no.
deride to the minor contractors, "rhos. interests the
greet capitalists were obliged to consult when they
were in competition. Plaits were in' consequeure
formed to etribarrar, and, if possible, to destroy
the coalition. The inai.muvres practised Ia the
money-market, with this vies, had been early at-
tended with same, bait not any very coteaderable
effect. On the dearth of Sir F. paittsio. howeter,
a more favourable ntipoitunity was supposed to
lase presehted itself. A report was circulated,
that all the stock welted in the name of that house
siviuld be immediately broug'it to market ; and
dm idea alone of such a quantity (not leas than
4,0110,0001. it is said) bring on sale, was sufficient
to produce a great depression. It is brsidri to be
considered. that many are compelled. by the na-
ture of their pecuniary engagements, to sell at a
certain day; and that whatever extre..rdroary
effects Sir FRANCIS BAILING'. death, sod the ma-
smarres of the rival contractors and jobbers, could
produce, were superarlded to the ordinary prin-
ciples that regulate the market—prinripl.s flaw.

state of private credit.

however, was not enforced in the present ipstauci.,
