The catch of herring+ hes been so con.iderable
on the southern coast, that they have been retailed

THE lUNDS.

4 revulsion, which N set the 'solstitial sequel to a very
cosine of speculation, has taken place at the
stuck Exchange, and has been sue of t►e chief causes of an
adesoce in the priers, which have materially improved since
our last. The speculators for a fall, seized with a panic at
the late total failure of their operation*, seem to have
ehmiged sides, ■m) nearly all to have become tturelmiers.
•Tin, step, too, they have indiscreetly taken it moment
when the opposite party hive rimmed increased confidence,
firising ow of some peculiar iodications, deemed by them
liessitrahle to their views. The recent purchases of money
ati.ck by riot of the deeding bankers has isertainly imparted
is. w vigour to the market, especially since it is acertained
ISA the investment is net likely to be, as was originally he-
'erred, of a temporary attire, or for the rummest of &peen-
ion. Many reports have been circulated IV explain them,
of which the best authenticated appear to be, that the money
no isiveated is the produce of psize.monry aid daring the
I.sie war in like East forties, mid thus disposed of until the
silimiale division, in the way of which stone difficulties are
ini.h.rstuod to ►xist, es, be made. We are unable to voneh
for its correctness. The Nilotic., placed i.y the speculators
for x rise, on the assiatauce Oars unexpectedly tendered
them, we consider to be greater than it deserves, since the
roomiest of the stuck invest' d is small, when compared with
the mass it is supposed to peons' the power of moving,
and is not scc,mded by the iischuatiou, or, perhaps,
the power to make purchases ansong the public at largo.
'the other sources on which the speculators for a rise rely
lisire still less wield, and they show the weakness rather
t hso the strength of their cause, when they refer to the de-
cimation of the Minister, that nu Loan will he required fur
the • ervice of the year. TIN &tiara t i 0000 has hero frequeisily
made before, hut seldom kept, and is of such a nature, in-
itee.l, that contingencies, far from improbable, may resider
it. fulfilment impossible. The era of finaiseial operutious,
may add, is too remote to act upon the transactions of
exiationg period, which are seldom governed by distant
cnn.idrratiuns. The thirst and last hope of improvement
•s ire, from the assurance, given nn good authority, that the
a esssurees of Government are so ample, that they are euribled
to devote nearly all that has is►en paid of the instalments to
Co. last Loan to the liquidation of their debt to the lisuk.
This fact if., however, in itself; no proof of extrus.ive re-
sources, but simply that the money has been applied to the
impose for which it was orieinally raised.
Then• considerations induce us to refer the rise which has
t-kesi place in the past week to a species of &holism, less in
degree, but similar in kind, to that objets occurred during
Or October account. Wheu purchasers are numerous the
seasket rises ; but as they are, in this instance, nearly all
time bargains, which most be re.suld hefote the uprising,
re-actiou is iiievitahle, though its extent will be pro.
)W411014111 to the snddrunrawith, ',bids the discovery is made,
I i,ll a retreat i. necessary. The transactions of the market of
I•rulayaud yesterday strongly corroborate the view we have
taken of the present state of the Fundy, and almost lead to the
rotsclociou, that the most active among the speculators for a
rise Lave already begot' to seism' a retreat. Withio that time
s;.: price Consols fur the opening has hero &chain( ao ra-
irony, that from 711„ *loch Stilt& as the highest imitation,
