THE' BRITISH PRESS

at present waging agaitug the Birman empire, Lord Aw-
n XIIST, we think, may confidently call for an acquittal on
that score. With a view to reinoving the misconceptions
which we have reason to believe prevail very generally
upon this subject, we purpose, either to-morrow or on Mon-
day, to entet fully into the came of this war—the manner
in which it has been conducted—and the objects ultimately
to be secured by it ; and thus to enable the public in this
country to form their opinion, on adequate and authentic
evidence, and not, as at present, from hearsay statements
and the misrepresentations of party.

CITY, THURSDAY EvrmiNn.

The Stock Market has been dull and depressed all day.
Many reports of commercial failures have been in circula-
tion ; some of the parties named are of the highest respect-
ability. The letters from the manufacturing districts are
also of an unfavourable nature. The advice% from Liver-
pool, however, state that the bank of Mr. JOSEPH
lianwssr, whose stoppage was announced in the British
Press of dna morning, is in a condition to pay ot. every
claim on it in full.

The fluctuation in the Consols Market was half per cent.
and the general appearance heavy and unpromising for the
fut•ire. The first price was 80, from which it soon de-
ciined to I}, and finaily to g. Money Stock was more
abundant. The New Four per Cents. rose from 97Z to 98.
There was also an advance in the Three and a Half per
Cent. Reduced from 8➢; to 1. Exchequer Bills were at
par ; India Bonds 10 pm.
In the Foreign Market there was little doing; prices
were declining. Colombian Bonds closed at 681, Mexican
661, Brazilian 64; Russian Bonds were 841, and Spanish

The transactions in Shares were unworthy of notice.
