ERRATUM.—In our report of Mr. Westhead's
speech at the meeting of the Manchester arid Birmingham
Railway Company, by a mistake of the printer's " Bar
wick and London" was inserted instead of " Birmingham
and London."

THE SUBLIME.—The Sherborne Mercury, in
describing a ball which took place last week in Dorsetshire,
says—" Dancing was kept up with great spirit until Sul
doffed his nightcap and squinted through the sky 1"
The Countess of Albertsdorf, late Miss Graham,
who a few months ago published an interesting pamphlet
on the mysterious history of Gaspard Hauser, is said, in a
letter from Munich, to be preparing another for the press,
which will expose some highly important facts, and give a
clue to the discovery of the perpetrators of his atrocious
murder.—Galignani's Messenger. ,

On Sunday evening the horses in the Hereford
mail-coach ran away at great speed up the street of Lud-
low, dashing the vehicle with such force against a buttress
of the old gate as to shiver it to pieces and kill two of the
horses ; the coachman had his arm broken, and the guard
escaped unhurt.— Worcestershire Chronicle.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVEIt.—THREE
LIVES LOST.—Saturday, about twelve o'clock, as a water-
man named Ralph, accompanied by three young men,
named Connel, Smith, and Sapping, was proceeding down
the river in his boat, when opposite Millbank Connell and
Smith rowed the boat athwart a barge (Ralph having
fallen asleep had left the boat to their guidance), when it
instantly upset, immersing the whole party in the water.
Cannel, Smith, and the waterman, sank underneath the
barge, and met a watery grave, but Sapping swam to the
shore and thus saved his life.

The body of a new born male infant, wrapped
up in a dirty piece of calico, was found within the
railings on the West side of Bedford-square, nearly op.
posite to the residence of Mr. Wakley, the recently
elected Coroner. It was immediately taken to St.
Giles's Workhouse, where it was examined by Mr. Bur-
gess, the parish surgeon, who said, that it was a full-grown,
finely proportioned child ; but, that he could not without a
post mortem examination give a decided opinion whether
it was born alive or not. An inquest will be held to-
morrow on the body.

BOULOGNE, MARCH 4.—Yesterday, Sunday,
the election for a Member to be sent to the Chamber of
of Deputies , as the representative of this town, Calais
Devres Marquise. &c., took place in Boulogne, and
the following is the state of the poll at its close :
—M. Delessert, 412, M. Thiers, 161, M. Delassa-
blonier 51 ; rejected votes, 6. There are two or three
things worthy of note on this occasion. In the first place,
there never had been an opposition in this neighbourhood ;
in the next, the number of electors must have greatly
increased, as on no former election have more than 350
persons given their votes. Most of the authorities sup-
ported the Government candidate; and in France this is a
great and decided advantage. But the cause of Liberalism
is progressing, and this being the first essay in the cause,
its friends are sanguine that the result must be favourable
to it in any future contest. M. Thiers is also a candidate
to represent Cherbourg.
Our letters from Malta, we regret to say, speak
of several losses sustained by our shipping in the Medi.
terranean during the late storms. Two English brigs,
bound for Constantinople, had been lost at the entrance
of the Dardanelles ; their crews succeeded in getting en
shore. The brig Smyrna, laden with corn, had been
lost off Cape St. Angelo, one man drowned. Th• Clyde,
with corn, bound for Falmouth, had arrived at Malta,
where she was obliged to unload, having sprung a leak.
The following ♦easels had likewise arrived at Malta, to
repair injuries sustained at sea :—The Harriet, from
Odessa to Liverpool, with wool ; the John and James,
which had been struck by lightning off Algiers ; the
Devonshire, the Rockcliffe, the David Grant, and the
Sophia.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'

CITY, TWELVE o'cLocir. I
The usual average return of the liabilities of the Bank
of England, embracing the period from the 11th Dse•
1838, to the sth instant, which has appeared in the Gazette,
gives the following results, viz., that the average of the
month, ending sth instant, as compared with the average
of the month ending the 11th Dec., shares are increasing
in circulation of 138,0001. ; a decrease in the deposits of
957,0001. ; and a decrease in the stock of bullion, of
2,439,0001. Wherefore, it appears that the decrease in
the liabilities, is 819,0001., and this represents the decrease
in the total quantity or money in the month ending the stk
inst., as compared with the month ending Dec. 11.
The yearly comparison is as follows ;--The average of
the month ending the sth instant, as compared with the ave-
rage of the month ending the 3d April 1838, shows n
decrease in the circulation of 516,0001., a decrease in the,
deposits of 2,559,0001., and a decrease in the stock o',
bullion of 3,015,000/. Wherefore it appears that the de-
crease in the liabilities is 3,075,0001., and this represents
the decrease in the total quantity of money, in the month
ending 3d April, 1838.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 9.—The demand
for Cotton to-day has been fair from the trade, and about
5,000 bags were sold, including a cargo of 1,100 bought
7 by a dealer, at steady prices.
By the overland express, on Saturday, from the Fist
Indies, it appears that the commercial information frorn.
Bombay is not of a favourable cast. Shipments to England
were almost suspended. Freights had fallen to 50s. Per
ton. The Exchange for six months' Bills was at 21. id. Per
rupee. The imports of Sugar from the China Sea ban
glutted the market, in consequence's.: which a considerable
decline took place in that article.
From Calcutta the commercial news is less important.
It appears by the accounts given of the crop, that the In-
digo exports to England will only be about 1,200 chests.
against 25,000 last year. Money was plentiful.
The severe measures which have been inforced by the
Chinese Government against Opium importations have re-
sulted in an almost total stoppage of the trade. At Singa-
pore there was a deficiency in the supply of produce f's
the European trade, so that large ships found a difficulty
in procuring freights.
Arrivals this Morning—Two French and two Ostend
Mails. Ship letters from South Seas and Calcutta.
We have no accounts as yet of the arrival of the Great
Western steamer from New York, which is anxiously
expected.
For a Monday morning, and double post day, we base
a very great scarcity of arrivals.
The news from India in respect to the military Ino""
ments, are looked upon as favourable ; but in regard t°
commercial affairs it is rather of a gloomy cast. T,be
Continental information received of most importance is tut
resignation of the French Ministers.
Consols opened this morning at 9314 for the Account ;
Money 92- 93 ; Exchequer Bills 64 66 ; India Bond'
64 66 ; Bank Stock, shut ; India Bonds shut.
The Foreign Market is inactive at present, with the ex-
ception of a. little doing in Spanish Active at 201 ;

The accounts received front Manchester this morning
have not a bright appearance, owing to the animated de'
mand for cotton at Liverpool, which has continued to act
upon the market here, and caused a still further advance
both on goods and yarn, though not to a greater extent
than the increase 011 the price of cotton since that time
so that the spinners and manufacturers derive no ben"'
from it under the circumstances. The working of slier;
time, which seems indispensable for the protection of their
interests, is rapidly extending. A general meeting att.°
cotton-spinners and manufacturers of Staleybridge and t"
.et
neighbourhood was held on Wednesday evening, when l
was resolved that the respective firms composing the M
sociation should commence on Monday next, working thret
days a week only ; to continue for six months, unless !
change of circumstances should arise ; and we hear that
t
the example is likely to be followed by all the spinners a
Ashton-under Lyne. As this resolution will apply con's
number of large establishments, producing a very
siderable quantity of goods and yarn, it is likely to produce
an important effect upon the markets; and also, we gr„e
sorry to say, upon the condition of the working classes 1"
the neighbourhood. CIC
