-Saturday was a holyday at the Bank, and conse-
quently no business was done for money—a circum.
stance of which the speculators for a f:11 availed
themselves, and sold largely, and thereby lowered
the price from 664, the first quotation in the morn-
ing, to 66} ; but us come purchasers appeared later
in the day who bought freely, the market recovered
to 66i, which was the closing price of the day,
Exchequer-bills continue at a discount of two or
three shillings; but this is not surprising, as they
only pay an interest of 3 per cent., while the funds,
at the, present prices, yield considerably more. Bank
Stock has in some measure recovered its depression :
a few days since 209 was the price, and em Satur-
day it sold at 219.

this branch of the aniiitary establishment, without ad-

A petition was presented by Mr. John Smith to the
House of Co aaaaaa oils on Wednesday last, from Mr. John
Brown, praying for an alteration in the Bankrupt Laws,
relative to the depositions of a Bankrupt to be taken as
satisfactory by the Con 111 l issioners when given on oath,
unless disproved by documents, or a respectable witness
on oath. The Petitioner also considered it a great im-
propriety to commit commercial men to Newgate, where
they are obliged to mix with cons lets and other persons,
committed for the worst offences.

hands high, started from. Cambridge, went to Har.
icy-street, London, and returned at half past eight

miles) in sixteen hours and a half with apparent

ment of the match.

A letter from Carlisle of the 26th iast. says—" In

squadron of the 18th Hussars, who were to have
marched fur Liverpool to-morrow; which request
has been complied with, and the detachment La
halted till further orders."
