THE Ft ND

Consols closed yesterday buoyant, at 933.1 for Money, and
this Account ; for January Account, 931; opened at the
same ; no business doing.

In the Foreign Exch;Mges yesterday afternoon, the business
had a tendency downwards.
A notice appeared in last night's Gazette, that the Lords of
the Treasury had determined to pay off a portion of the Un-
funded Debt. For Exchequer Bills, which bore an interest
of 21d. per day, new Bills are to be issued at the reduced
rate of 2d. per day.
Exchequer Bills, 43 41 ; India Bonds, 30 32 ; Bank Stock,
2124; India Stock advanced to 273 274.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active closed at 20+ with
Coupons, opened this morning at 20-,1,- -a; Portuguese closed
at 31+, opened at the same; Three per Cents., 21 ; Mexi-
can, 281 29; Colombian, 254; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents, 541.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

The only news of consequence received this morning is from
the East Indies, which, owing to the accounts received from
England of the distress in American affairs, has created some
alarm in that quarter, and affected commercial affairs to some
extent, causing the Exchange at Ilimbay on London to fall to
Is. 9d. ; and at Calcutta to 2s. per rupee. In other respects
we do not hear of any political news of importance.
Consols are not quite so good as in the early part of the
morning, when they were 93,i for the Account, and Money,
at present may be quoted 93, with little doing, fur January 938.
Exchequer Bills, 43 44 prem. The issuing of new ones has
not had any effect on the market ; on the contrary they have
improved ; India Bonds, 30 prem.; Bank Stock, 213 ; India
Stock, 2721.

Iu the•horcign Market, Spanish Active, 201, with Coupons;
Portuguese, 301, heavy ; Three per Cents., 204 21 ; Mexi-
can, 29 ; Colombian, 251 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half, 541.

Consols for the Account, 93k.

Her Majesty has graciously condescended to become
protectress of the Children's Friend Society. The establish-
ment for girls at Chiswick has long enjoyed the honour of
being known as the Royal Victoria Asylum.

There is a question before the Coutt of Exchequer
on a demurrer which raises the point whether, under the 57th
George 111., c. 99, (in which it is enacted that no clergyman
shall trade for gain, nor buy nor sell to sell again,) a clergy-
man can hold shares in a banking company. This will open
a variety of other similar matters. The decision of the Court
will, therefore, be of great importance to clergymen generally.

It is scarcely a month since the patent safety-coach,
recently described in this Journal, was tested at Blackheath by
a serious of experiments. In the above short period the plan
has been taken up by the French Government, the Minister
of the Interior having sent to London an accredited agent of
the Government, who ordered a public trial of the vehicle to
be made in his presence. This functionary, satisfied with the
principle of the invention, apd with a full description, draw-
ings and plans, started yesterday for the French Capital, gua-
ranteeing to Mr. StalThrd, the patentee, the exclusive use and
benefit of his invention in France.

We are truly delighted by hearing, that our cele-
beated, English Violinist, .young Blagrovc, has met with ex-
traordinary success in his Continental tour. He is now expe-
riencing the Royal patronage and hospitality of the Duke of
Nleinengen, before whom and his Court he has had the honour
repeatedly of perf,,rmitig-, and by Royal command, is resident
in the Palace.

ANOTHER STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—On Sun-
day morning last, shortly More five o'clock, the Duke of
lington steam ship, on her way down the river, on a voyage to
Scotland, run down a lug-boat, containing eighty bags of
coffee, off Wapping, when a youth who was navigating the
lug narrowly escaped ,a watery grave. It appears that the
steam-ship had not long got under way, and was proceeding
down the siream in the dark at half speed only. Nearly off
Napping New St&rs a large sailing barge, proceeding up the
river, w7s sanding over the river towards the south shore,
with the lug-boat also proceeding upwards to leeward of her.
The steamer went clear of the sailing barge, whose sails con-
cealed the lug-boat from view until the sailing barge had
passed, when she dim'etly opened on the steam, ship's view,
and there was not sufficient time to stop her until she came in
collision with the lug.
The Courier and the Standard insert news from
Liverpool under the bead "by express." Now, there is no
"express" in the matter. Their correspondents put letters
into the Liverpool Post-office before six o'clock at night, and
those letters are delivered from the General Pust-office,
London, between one and two o'clock next day. —Liver-
pool Albion.

On Monday morning, a hostilit meeting took place
at Chalk Farm, between Messrs. Conearmon and Corbett,
the former attended by a Mr. O'Brien, the latter by a Mr.
Keogh, all Irishmen, and students of Lincoln's Inn. The
cause of quarrel is said to be a fair frail one. The parties
were bad marksmen, for after an ineffectual exchange of three
shots each, the parties separated unreconciled. •
HACKNEY CARRIAGES.—TI e commissioners of
stamps having issued a notice to all hackney-carriage pro-
prietors that it was their intentiln to recal all the old licens-
ing plates, and substitute in their stead others of a different
colour, and lettered V. R., appointed yesterday as the day on
which the change was to take place. The quadrangle of So-
merset-house consequently presented a very bustling appear-
ance, being entirely filled with hackney-coaches and cabs, the
varied construction and appearance of the latter vehicles con-
trasted strikingly with the uniformity of the dangerous two-
horse carriages formerly in use. Hansom's patent safety
cabs, which led the way in these improvements, presented a
very striking display, both as respects carriages, horses, and
numbers. They came in procession to Somerset Ilouse, the
line of which extended from the latter place to Charing- Cross.
No person could have witnessed this vast collection of carriages
without being struck with the amount of capital and the quan-
tity of labour employed in the internal communications only of
this great metropolis.

TzTrtE SALE.-- A tithe sale took place in Shana-
golden on 'Wednesday last. A cow, the propetty of a Mr.
Enright, was seind at the ,uit of the Rev. Mr. Graves, of
Youghal ; and the people determihed to bid for it in order to
return it to the recusant. The Lim-rich Star states that the
Parson's son acted as bailiff, constable, and auctionedr, And
managed so as to disappoint the intentions of the people. He
had the cow brought out to the minute fixed for the sale, and
before any of the people had assembled. A bailiff, whenand twothe
sons of a process-server were on the ground, and bid a pound
for the animal, another one pound three shillings,
parson's sort cried " one pound ten,". and down went the ham-
mer, and away went the cow to the bailiff's yard.. The people,
finding the sale thus carried on in the absence of an audience,
went to the house of the bailiff', whose name is Fitzgerald, to
remonstrate with him. He laughed at the law ; but even
while he laughed off went the cow from his yard, no one
knows how, unless in her abhorrence of the tithe s 3'stsrn to
which she was victimized, she took it into her head or heels' to
clear the wall. She was never after heard of, so that the
Parson's son had the pleasure of meetinghis Rev. parent's
caim out of his own pocket.— Pilot.
It is the intention of the Drapers' Comp any to ap-
point two agriculturists to assist Mr. Miller, the agent to the
Company, in his exertions to benefit r
th-e,I tteniant7y on their
estates in Ireland.
