A'MONEY mAnK.ET.

CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY

About £95,000 in gold was taken to the Bank to-
day, and 65,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for
transmission to the East.
Coupled with the present appearance of the foreign
exchanges, the Bank return published this evening
tends to confirm the expectation that the discount
market will remain without fluctuation to the end
of the year. The increase of £203,595 in the bul-
lion must be attributed to the natural reflux of the
borne circulation usual at this period.
The specie to he taken by the steamer Delta with
the India and China trails on the 20th amounts to
X 251,540, of which £85,617 is gold and the re-
mainder is silver.

At Liverpool and Manchester it has been resolved
to close the cotton markets and suspend business as
far r
may be practicable from Wednesday, the 24th,
till the following Monday. It is expected also that
la London and at other places transactions will be
limits,
during that period within the narrowest
Ithatts, as it is a great convenience to all firms at the
close of the year to have a few days free from ex-
ternal interruption.
There are satisfactory symptoms that any renewal
of abundance that may take place in the money-
nutrket is not likely to be followed by any very suc-
cessful revival of the trade in the creation of new
b
anka• Even the most ignorant and incautious per-
Sons have now apparently become in some degree
acquainted with the process of their manufacture,
and Will scarcely be disposed in the capacity of sub-
scribers to pay their quota of £lO,OOO or £20,000
to special individuals for labours of " promotion"
winch could be equally well performed by any
other persons having a moderate acquaintance with
a number of city traders of ordinary respectability.
Although the demand for specie for the Conti-
nent has subsided, it should be borne in mind that,
I" the Continental rates of discount are still in
nearly every case higher than our own, any parti-
cular increase of ease in the London market would
soon be followed by a renewal of withdrawals.
Frankfort is the only city where the rate is as low
418 in London. At Paris it is 3-1 ;at Hamburg, 31 ;
and at Amsterdam and Brussels, 4 per cent.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

Of these islands, the volume of colonial statistics recently
issued by the Board of Trade reports the population, in
1860, to be 232,426, and the area 1,041 square miles ; in
round number the six-hundredth part of our possessions, in
point of population, and the three-thousandth part in area.
The productions of the islands in 1860 comprised 69,253
barrels of olive oil, worth from 50s. to bss. a barrel ;
30,250,8971b5, of currants, worth from five guineas upwards
per 1,0601b5. ; and 148,539 barrels of wine, ranging from
Ils. to 21s. per barrel. Only 67,580 bushels of wheat were
grown in the year ; the soil is more favourable to grape cul-
tivation
than to the raising of corn, and indeed corn is the
chief import taken. The live stock consisted of 13,171
horses, 10,374 horned cattle, 131,684 sheep, and 111,907
goats, a considerable increase within these few years. The
revenue of 1860 was £140,855, the expenditure, £151,187;
in the last 12 years the lonian revenue has only on two oc •
casions provided the Exchequer with a surplu'. The ex-
port duty on the olive crop forms the standard and main'
spring of lonian finance, and the trade being as speculative
as the hop trade in England, the revenue is liable to violent
fluctuations ; the export duty on oil produced above £BO,OOO
tgsg, only £lO,OOO in 1869, and £27,000 in 1860. Moro
than a mire et the revenue et tue year was raisea nom the
export duties of 191 per cent. on olive oil and currants, and
a still larger proportion from import duties ; only £24,090
by stamp duties and other inland taxation of a trifling cha-
racter, no article of consumption (save salt and gunpowder)
being taxed except on exportation or importation. The re-
turn of imports and exports is for 1859, a year of bad har-
vest. The imports amounted to £1,306,303, the exports to
only £649,047. The imports from Turkey amounted to
£432,980; from Greece, £106,311; from Austria, £152,360;
from the United Kingdom, £355,050, cotton being the chief
item in the export from this country. The entrances and
clearances of shipping in 1860 were 517,320 tons inwards
525,802 tons outwards. They have shown a large increase
within the last two or three years. Wages in 1860 averaged
355. a month for domestic labour, ls. 6d. a day for predial,
and 2s. 6d. a day in trade. The lonian peasant is said to
be not very provident. There was an abundant harvest in
1858, and the marriages next year were 4,002 ; the harvest
in 1859 was defective, and the marriages of MO fell to
1,358. The population contains no less than 116 men to
every 100 women; and it is singular that for several years
the births, marriages, and deaths in Corfu have all been
more than in Cephalonia, where the population is greater.

nor are any convicts kept in servitude longer than
the time we have stated. As there may possibly be
persons who bring themselves to believe in the in-
nocence of the Glasgow murderess and of Gardner
the sweep, they will be glad to hear that in 12 years
at latest, and probably much sooner, they will be
both at large again. Penal servitude fur life is a
legal fiction.

Beforo dismissing the subject we may say, with
regard to the kind of labour on which the convicts
are employed, that it appears beyond all doubt the
fittest as a penal punishment, if only enough of it
was or could be exacted. As to utilising convict
work, making carpenters work as carpenters, but-
chers as butchers, clerks as clerks, and so on, it is out
of the question. We have had enough of costly
systems which have failed without resorting to this,
which would be ten times more costly than any, and
no manner of punishment at all. No labour as
labour of punishment is as good as quarrying
and working on the Breakwater here, where the
men are comparatively isolated and well guarded,
and where, in fact, anything can be done with them,
except making them work as all men work for their
daily bread. The " Convict Question," so fruitful
of suggestion, has never elicited any which can over-
come the difficulty of their generally unconquerable
idleness. It would seem, therefore, that the only
course is to reduce their present very generous diet
till it is something more on an equality with that of
the poor, honest, hard-working labourers around
them. If there were anything like an approach to
penal diet, and tickets of leave were at once and for
ever done away with, we suspect we should hear of
very few men coming up to the bar, as Baron Bram-
well says, with their sentences "overlapping each
other," and getting a third term of penal servitude
before their first original sentence had expired.
Penal servitude, as it is now in this country, neither
deters criminals from the prison nor reforms them
while in it, and any convict system which fails in
either—much more both—of these great ends is
worthless.—Times.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

WESTMINSTER.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE,—EdwarI Burke, a tall young
man, was charged with being concerned in the following
disgraccfal outs age :

Mr. Joseph Butt, proprietor of the Lord Nelson, Keppel-
street, Chelsea, said that at twenty-five minutes to ten last
night the defendant and three other men rushed into his
house, and, all pretending to be much intoxicated, com-
menced creating a great disturbance. Without the least
provocation they threw the furniture about and broke three
legs off a table, and then hurled some quart pets and other
drinking vessels in different directions.

Mr. Arnold—Was there any reason that you know of for
such conduct ?

Mr. Butt—None that lam aware of. I gave them no
provocation of any sort.
_ _

Mr. Arnold—They did a great deal of mischief ?
Mr. Butt—They would have done more but were pre-
vented. The defendant seized a poker, and was about to
smash a looking glass with it, but was prevented by a per-
son who was in the house. My impression is that their
object in creating the confusion was to see whether it did
not present an opprtunity of stealing something.
Mr. Arnold—Did they have anything to drink in your

There was only a limited number of beasts on offer here
to Atty. Good and prime breeds commanded a steady sale
at quite Moflday's currency, the best Scots being worth
rather over 5s per Blb ; otherwise the beef trade was inactive
on former terms. The show of sheep was trifling, and all
breeds moved off freely at very full prices. The best Downs
realised quite 5s 10d per 81b. Calves were in short supply
and fair request at full quotations. Scarcely any pigs or
mulch cows were in the market.

THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.--
Authors of eminence have ascribed the decline of the
Roman empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded
resistance; and this effeminacy they trace chiefly to vicious
habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an
influential journalist has endeavoured to account for the de-
cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey.
The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al-
luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo-
sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth,
laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning- the nuptial
cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life,
and making it, during its brief career, a scene of anguish, from
the consciousness of humiliating infirmity.
The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe-
rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths,
the hereditary and perpetuated ailments, and the matri-
monial discords and sandals, described, in convential par-
lance, as " unaccountable " and "mysterious." In cases of
threatened injury to or suspension of iaculties whose sound-
ness and vigour form swth a prominent constituent in human
happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed the mis-
chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated,
and their
warmest hopes of restoration to life's prerogatives fully
realised
Dr. L ti'MERT, M.D., has been engaged for 20 years in the
treatment of these disorders, and his treatise on 'Self-Pre-
servation " describes how all the attributes of Manhood are
lost or suspended, and how they can be restored and main..
tained in health and vigour to an advanced period of life.
