MONEY AND CITY NEWS.

(FROM THE MOANING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.)
TIMES.—By the advices from Hamburgh the price of
gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13. 10. and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13. 51, it follows that gold is 2.24 per cent. dearer at
Hamburgh than in London.
The premium on gold at Paris is 81 per mille, which at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. the ounce for standard
gold, gives an exchange of 25. 36}, and the exchange at Paris
on London at abort being 25. 25, it follows that geld is 0.46
par cent. dearer at Paris than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London is 1091
per cent., and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent. it follows, that the exchange
is .07 per cent. against England.
The Foreign Exchanges have again manifested a strong ten-
dency downwards this afternoon. There catt:be no doubt now
that large supplies of corn will be procured from various
parts of the Continent, contrary to a notion which seems to
have prevailed extensively that such supplies were not to be
had, against which either bills or gold must be remitted. At
present little consequence seems to be attached at the Bank to
this state of things, and indeed, to judge by the tone of those
who receive cccasional hints from that quarter, to- be regarded
rather with exultation than otherwise. There must be,ilv their
opinion, a positive advantage to the Bank in turning some
part of this " unproductive capital" to profit. This has al.
was been the case heretofize until the drain had reached a
certain extent, and then the correction of the " screw" rather
roughly applied has informed the commercial world how mat.
tees stood. The demand for shipping to bring home cargoes
of grain is beyond all former precedent—at least, for a very
great number of years. The exchange on Paris, short, was
quoted to-day 25. 271 to 321; Hamburgh, 13. 81 ; and Am-
sterdam, short, 12. 2.

This was settling-day in the Foreign Funds ; but nothing
at all remarkable occurred upon the occasion. The differences
of the last fortnight have not been considerable. The trans-

The speculation which has been carried on during the last
few days in Colombian Bonds is in a great measure explained
by the following advertisement, published in the Venezuela
Gazette of the 28th of October:

The Americans have, it is well known, for a long time past,
been endavouring to put themselves forward as manufacturers
of cotton fabrics, so as to create a market for the raw material
within their own territory, rather than ship the whole of their
crops, as they have hitherto done, to Europe. But the attempt
does not seem to have been attended with much success.

Mexico has, it appears, afforded till lately the best market
for the American manufactured article ; the war between that
country and France has, however, nearly put a stop to the
trade. It is stated in a commercial print, published at Bos-
ton, that, in 1836, of the value of 1,950,000 dollars in plain
goods exported from the United States, 789,000 dollars went
to Mexico, while, in 1837, of that of 2,043,000 dollars, only
94,000 went to the same country. It is added, that, in
1136, the cost of the article shipped was extremely
low, while, in the following year, the principal part
was at the lowest point, being somewhat under
the cost of production—a proof bow much the traffic was in-
terfered with by the blockade of the ports of Mexico. This
impediment to the progress of the manufacturing prosperity of
the United States has been aggravated by the blockade of the
Argentine States, by the war between Chili and Peru, and
the disturbances in Uraguay and Brazil, inasmuch as the effect
of these hcstile proceedings has been not only to interrupt the
transmission of fresh supplies, but what is still more material
to curtail the means of paying for those already sent. This is
shown by the fact that cottons were selling at Rio Janeiro at
from twenty to forty per cent. less. From Chili and Peru
the most unfavourable accounts had been received, and
Buenos Ayres and Mexico are closed against all importa-
tions. In the Havannah things were ♦ery unpromising, as will
be seen by the following report, which bears date November
24th, 1838 :

Just published, No. 11., price ed., of
THE LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL.
Containing Sixteen closely printed Quarto Pages.
The LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL, is ;intended to be
a cheap Weekly Periodical, whose chief object is to aid in the
Moral and Social Improvement of the bulk of the community. A
regular demand now exists amongst a very large class for literary
information, and " useful knowledge," which is, of course, supplied
from various quarters; but there is no existing cheap Periodical
which aims at occupying the peculiar ground open to the
LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL.
Without coming under the designation of what is usually under-
stood as a " religious" Periodical, it is intended that the Journal
should have a distinctive Christian character ; that it should habi-
tually appeal to the religious feeling, as well as the understanding,
of its readers ; and that both its information and its amusement
should have a higher aim than passing gratification. By carefully
avoiding a sectarian spirit, it is hoped that the Journal will be ac-
ceptable to all denominations; and by embracing the usual topics
of a Literary Weekly Periodical, that it will obtain a wide range of
usefulness, and have both power and opportunity to aid in promoting
the social advancement of man.

" Our Deposit Stores are full of all kinds of goods, as
many vessels loaded in England, France, Germany, and the
Mediterranean, and elsewhere for Mexico, have, in conse-
quence of the blockade of the ports of that country, placed
their cargoes in deposit. As regards American cotton sheet-
ings of the heavy kind, best suited to the export demand
for Mexico, and which your people are most in the habit of
sending here, there is a supply of 10,000 pieces in the
market—with little or no hope of realising the cost, for
reasons already stated—namely, the entire paralization of the
Mexican trade."

Yet it is remarked that the American manufacturers ace
relieved from their former excessive stocks by the great de-
mand for home consumption, aided by an extraordinary export
demand for Asia, while, in consequence of partial suspension
of manufacturing in 1837 and part of 1838, which was to an
extent, perhaps, of one-fifth to one quarter in the cotton and
woollen branches, the existing supplies of goods in first hands
are smaller than they have been for many years ; and, what is
deemed of equal importance, the jobbers and retailers, owing
to the diminished capital and credit of some, and the prudent
management of others, are almost entirely bare of those
great staple fabrics of New England—cottons, woollens, and
the various manufactures of leather.
The American manufacturers are hoping to establish a steady
and permanent market for their Cotton goods in India, the
Straits, and China, and that the loss of trade experienced in
other quarters may, through these channels, be fully compen•
sated for. With reference to the experiments made by them
in the last-named country, we find the following sttatement
To China, till within two years, they have been sent in
such small quantities as hardly to afford the people of that ex-
tremely populous country an opportunity of testing their
quality, and of ascertaining, as they probably since have done,
their superiority over all other similar fabrics. Our heavy
plain brown goods are not only of firmer texture, of better
material, and of greater weight (which is the most obvious
sign of superiority in coarse goods), but they are actually lower
in price than the articles made in England and sold in foreign
markets in competition with them. For instance, a drilling
which has been selling in this market at 10 cents, a yard, and a
plain cloth of 37 inches, at 9i cents. each, weighing one-third
of a pound, and made of an excellent material, could not be
procured in Manchester two months since under sd. a yard,
to which must be added the packing charges, equal to three
per cent. and three per cent. more for interest and extra credit
allowed here, and two-and-a-half for purchasing. If we are
correct in this statement, a heavy plain cloth, like the goods
we manufacture for Asia, can be shipped full ten per cent.
lower than from Englard—while ours is in all respects
superior to the British, and is so acknowledged in China,
Manilla, in India, and in any other country where the two
rival fabribs have been sold side by side. There is nearly
the same difference in our favour in the somewhat lighter
fabric of 3. to 4 yards the pound. It is said, however, that
the late accounts from China, India, &c. do not show any
profit on shipments of domestic cottons. This may be the
ease, as it is known that the exports from England, during the
non-exportation to this country, have been very large, but in
countries whose whole population go clothed in cotton goods,
nearly all the year, and where the consumption from the vast
number of people, must be larger than in Europe or America,
the prices of a leading staple cannot long continue below the

they do not possess the smallest interest.

HERALD.—The commercial letters which have been re.
ceived from New York to-day generally concur in stating that
the commerce of the United States was rapidly improving.
Money had become much easier, and, in consequence, the
leading stocks were advancing in price, some of them even to
the extent of 1 per cent. on the day of the sailing of the
packet. United States Bank was 1231 a 124 ; New York
City Bank Stock 1081 a 109; and Mississippi Planters'
Bank ditto 100. The exchange on London was 9.,} ;on
France, V. 20c. a Of. 221 c. ; on Holland, 402; on Hamburgh,
36i- a ; and on Bremen 80/. American old gold was 7
pm., and the new coinage pm. Sovereigns were 4 dol.
85c. each. The price of Treasury notes was but nominal.
The Flour market at New York had been rather inac-
tive, but without alteration from the former prices. Cot-
ton staple s were rather higher in price, though they
were more in demand for the home trade than for expor-
tation ; in fact it appears as if they were held for higher rates
for exportation, which clearly arises out of the advances which
have lately been made to the growers by the United States
P•lnk, the Mississippi, and other powerful establishments,
Ao, having secured the cotton for export, will hold it for the
highest rates. The total imports of cottons into New York,
from the south and south-west States, from the Ist to the 19th
of December, was 14,451 bales, and the exports 4,795 bales.
The exports from the United States since the Ist of October
last were 64,056 bales ; same time last year, 126,515 ; and
the same time the year previous 171,855 bales, showing a very
serious falling off in the exports at the close of 1838, which
is chiefly to be traced to the mode of calling up the produce
by the advances of the banks, and thus preventing the needy
planters shipping it, through small merchants or factors, for
European ports, at low rates ; an operation by which British
capital is thus indirectly applied to hypothecate the cotton and
ether staples of the southern states of the federal union, with
the view that they shall ultimately produce higher prices in
the British or other European markets.
It is understood that the Scotch factors have been very
large speculators in corn, particularly wheat, for some time
past, and to this circumstance some cf the late advances in
price have been attributed. The heaviness which, however,
prevailed in our corn market within this past week, though it
has not materially reduced the prices, has rather checked
speculation; in fact the orders which have been sent out to
foreign ports for wheat have been so extensive that no other
result could scarcely have been anticipated. Three cargoes
of flour, amounting to about 9,000 barrels, have arrived from
New York for our markets, which will be entered at the
low duty, and most probably aid the heaviness which has just
commenced in the Corn market, although the speculation
will amply pay the importers. It is fully anticipated that
these will, for some time yet, have a decided tendency to
maintain the Continental exchanges at rates unfavourable to
this country.
Money still continues more plentiful than bills; therefore
the transactions have not been very extensive in the exchanges
to-day.

COCOA.—British Plantation has been taken more freely ;
several parcels have been disposed of by private contract, and
SO bags Trinidad, at public sale, sold at Is to 2s dearer. The
total deliveries of Cocoa from the warehouses for home use for
the week ending Jan. 12, 1839, are 31,4751b5.
TEA.—Prices have undergone no further depression since
last Tuesday; but the merchants having generally submitted
to the reduced rates established on that day, which were li-d a
20 per lb under those of the last quarterly sale, has occa-
sioned a very brisk demand, the trade hare purchased freely,
particularly of the common and mid description of Congou and
Twankay, of which they have taken large parcels at prices
varying from is 2d a is 4d. Capitalists have also been tempted
to come forward by the present low rates, and they have
made large purchases in Twankay, Hyson, and the lower
descriptions of Congou, and in other useful Tea; some of
the importers are not inclined to accept the present low and
unremunerating prices, and have withdrawn and bought in
large parcels of Hyson and Congou, in expectation that prices
will ere long rally, the consumption going on being very
extensive. The prices obtained since our report of this day
week are as follows : Congou inferior coarse and new is o,id
a is lid, but mid little coarse and new Is 2d a is 24d, but
mid rather strong blackish leaf Is 31d a Is 4d, preferable to

Souchong first quality 21s, second 20s, third 16s; Pekoe, I
second quality, 241 6d a 28s 6d, third 34s per lb.
This afternoon the market presented a firmer appearance;
the trade came forward freely at the public sale, and the de.
mand, particularly for Congou and Twankay, was very good,
and higher prices by Id a 2d were obtained, Hyson ord
ish leaf selling at Is 93; very ord Congou Is lid, but mid rather
new Is 2d a is 21d ; several large parcels were withdrawn,
pro; rietors refusing to sell at the present prices ; for exporta-
tion purchases have been made in common black Tea at is
per lb. The total quantity passed the sale is 82,000 pkgs, of
which 38,000 have found buyers. The total deliveries of Tea
from the warehouses for home consumption for the week,
ending Jan. 12th, 1839, are 390,9251b5.
RlCE.—This afternoon there was a better demand for E 1.,
and 1,194 bags Bengal at public sale sold readily at prices 6d
above those paid of late by private contract, good mid white
brought 20s to 20s 6d per cwt.
SPICES.— Pepper is held firmly, but there has been less de-
mand ; at the public sale 1,571 bags only partly found buyers,
Penang unsifted stalky at 4d, and 4d a 4fd for common greyish
Ceylon. Pimento has been more sought after ; Sid has been
paid for middling.
This afternoon 174 boxes Cassia Lignea and 900 bags Ben-

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held for the despattgn
of business.

Alderman HARMER presented a petition from a poor man
named Williams, who prosecuted the dwarf called Hervio
Nano (Harvey Leach) for a most desperate assault at the last
London Sessions. The petition stated that the defendant was
convicted of the assault, and was fined 20/., with permission
to speak to the prosecutor, and upon the understanding that if
the defendant gave 10/. to the prosecutor the penalty would
be remitted; that the defendant refused to give any remu-
neration to the prosecutor, and paid the penalty of 20/. ;
that the prosecutor, having sustained considerable injury from
the assault, and having lost the situation which he possessed at
the time, threw himself upon the humane consideration of
the Court, and begged, that as they considered the case an
aggravated one, and recommended a course which was calcu-
lated to make some amends. but which was rejected, and as
the prosecutor had been put to expense, they would make an
order for the payment of such part of the penalty to him as
they might think fit.

There was a strong feeling in the Court that the prayer of
the petition should be complied with.
The RECORDER said that there was a fund out of which the
Corporation could make remuneration to the poor man.
Alderman HARMER said that the object of the Court at the
time of the trial was to obtain some remuneration for the in-
jury inflicted by the defendant, and as the sum they considered
the prosecutor entitled to was 101., he moved that that amount
be handed over to Hear, hear.)
Alderman LAINSON seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously, an,: gave a great deal of satisfaction. The bad
feeling of the defendant has thus been completely disappointed,
for lie calculated that by paying 201. he would have prevented
the injured man from receiving a farthing.
The COURT was occupied during the day in matters of no
public interest.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, .I.ly. 15.
WYNNIAT V. LINDEN.

This was an appeal from the Master of the Rolls. A vendee
had refused to complete his purchase on the ground that the
estate was not free from payment on account of tithe, al-
though sold as such. The Master of the Rolls was of
opinion that the estate was free, it being clearly established
that the incumbent of the parish had held a certain piece of
land for more than sixty years, as composition real, for his
tithes on the land in question.
The LORD CHANCELLOR concurred in the opinion expressed
by the Court below, that the composition had been made out
for the last sixty years, and that the purchaser must complete
his purchase.
