THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

The late severe calamity has of necessity greatly augmented its
value, inasmuch as many of the respectable occupants of the Ex-
change have been but too happy to avail themselves of a first-rate
situation, approaching the scene of their recent source of profit ;
and to this may be added a most important feature, viz., the in-
tendl extension of ground to be required for the completion of

A NEW AND SPLENDID EXCHANGE,
worthy of
THE GREAT METROPOLITAN CITY.
This will render the possession of Spread-Eagle Court quite in-
dispensable.
THE ESTATE INCLUDES FIVE HOUSES,
divided into an infinity of useful offices, ofthe value of

FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR.
In the list of respectable tenants stands conspicuous

Mr. LEMAN, of BISCUIT CELEBRITY;
he is the respectable Lessee for one of the houses, and a considera-
ble portion of the ground on which his ovens are placed.
Also, IN TWO LOTS,
A VERY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT,

consisting of two well-built houses, with shops, most favourably
situate, being
Nos. 2 and 3, BRIDGE-STREET, BLACKFRIARS,
in close connection with the
IMMENSE THOROUGHFARE of FLEET-STREET,
and thereby partaking of the advantages derived from that street:
they are both remarkably well tenanted, and held upon Leases at a
rental capable of improvement. The small capitalist will in this
instanee find a good opportunity to invest in perfect security.
Particulars,ln due time, of Messrs. Bolton, Bell, and Merriman,

The three favourites severally moved up a point, retaining the
same relative positions they occupied on Thursday last, but withcnt
being so much in request; a small bet at 10 to 1 about the grey,
and 900 to 100 agst Nonplus was all that we saw done. D'Egville
and lon were backed at small sums at the odds quoted below. The
Early Bird opened at 20 to 1, which was snapt up so eagerly that
he rose at once three points ; a late arrival, however, and a toler-
ably strong commission, again threw him back, and he left off at
the opening price. Mono Adam was backed for 100 at 30, and for
the same amount at 28 to I. Some outsiders werk also backed,

GORDON'S SPECIFIC MIXTURE.
This truly valuable Medicine is confidently recommended
from the decided preference already established, as being the most effica•
cious remedy for all affections of the Urethra, without inducing nausea
and loss of appetite, complained of in other medicines, and may be taken
by the most delicate with the greatest safety. The ingredients are per
fcctly harmless, acting only on the parts affected, and not leaving behind
evil effects, which render it doubtful whether the remedy be not worse
than the disease. It will not only be found the most effectual, but by far the
cheapest medicine prescribed, being sold in half and pint bottles, IX 9d.,
and 4s. 6.1., each. Two of the latter, in very inveterate cases, almost in.
variably effecting a cure.
To be had from Trout, 229, Strand, and all wholesale and retina vendors
of patentmedicines in the kingdom. Full directions are attached to each
bottle.

THE SHERIFFS.—We trust that th, liberal
electors of the city of London will not permit the ultra-Tories to foist
Sheriffs upon them, which seems to be the object of Mr. Alderman
Copeland's letter. We would have them bestir themselves in time,
lest their opponents should succeed on Monday next. Mr. Alderman
Thomas Wood, who is of Liberal Whig principles, and his brother
Alderman, Mr. Johnson, who stands in the Aldermanic interest of the
Ultras, are to be preferred to Mr. Ambrose Moore and Mr. Joshua Wilson.
There are to be grand doings on Thursday at Lea-
rnington. " Our loyal Spa," gays the Leamington Chronicle, " has
Made spirited preparations to testify attachment to her Majesty': person
and throne." The most commendable feature in the day, to our mind,
is the public dinner. According to the Chronicle, " there will be 16
tables for adults, capable of seating 160 each; and 13 tables for the
Children of the Schools, to the number of 1,500 ; so that the number
expected to dine is 4,060, exclusive of the Stewards and Assistants, of
*horn there will be 10 to each table. •Nearly 5,000 lbs. weight of meat
Ind about 3,000 lbs. of plum pudding will be provided for the occasion.
On the day of the approaching Coronation of her
l'a.lesty at Westminster Abbey, the Governor of the Tower, it is said,
will give a splendid dinner to the Wardens and Officers connected with
that Government establishment, and a ball in celebration of the ores-
'l°o• A grand display of fire-works in the evening null be exhibited
from the batteries of the Tower facing the hid, and there will also be
given to the civilians ale and beer. As soon as the day breaks a Royal
Salute will be fired from the ramparts.
We learn that, during the present season, there is
not a duck, and rarely a hen, to be found in our poultry market. It
appears that there are persons stationed on all the roads leading into the
town to buy them up bcfors they reach the market, for the purpose of
sending,: them by the steamers to the London and Edinburgh markets.—

THE WEEK.

There has not been any great business done in this department during
the week; and the few transactions in Raw Sugar for refining may be
attributed to the unsettled state of the question of drawback, 1,000
hhds. only of British Plantation having been sold. Raw Sugar of all
kinds may be quoted 6d. to Is. lower than last week; Refined ls. lower.
Coffee unaltered in price; Tea flat and lower; Rice steady; Spices
flat and drooping ; Rum unaltered in price, and Cotton firm. The im-
ports and exports have been light, but the deliveries are good. A fair
business is advertised for next week, but nothing after Wednesday.

VESTRIES IN CHURCHES.

Mr. NICHOLL, pursuant to notice, moved that the Order of the
Day be read, for the purpose of giving preceJence to the Vestries in
Churches Bill.

Lord J. RUSSELL was sorry to inform the Hon. Member that such
was not the usual course. When the House met on Saturdays pre-
cedence was generally given to Government measer's.
Mr. NICIIOLL wished to establish the contrary precedent. He
would not, however, press the matter, if it were the sense of the House
that the Government Orders of the Day should be taken first. As
there would be no probability of his being able to bring the matter on
to-day, he would defer it till Saturday next, if the Noble Lord would
give him precedence on that day.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL had no objection to give the Hon. and
Learned Member precedence on that day.
The Bill was then postponed to Saturday next.
Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR wished to know what public business was
to be proceeded with on Monday.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it was his intention to move the
third reading of the Municipal Corporations Bill, before any other
business on Monday, as he understood it was contended by the other
side to take the sensewf the House upon it.

Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR said that it certainly was true that the
sense of the House as to the propriety of the third reading was in.
tended to be taken.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Accounts from Rio Grande state that the rebels had forced the slaves
to take up arms, and their force altogether amounted to 3,000 men ; the
Imperial force, without including the garrison of the city of Porto
Aleggio, amounts to 5,150 men.
The most important arrivals this morning, are the American papers
to the 20th ult., from New York, which bring favourable and important
accounts from Canada.
It is confidently stated this morning, and credited, that an answer to
the proposals made on the 14th of March last, by the King of Holland,
was given yesterday alone, by Lord Palmerston, owing to the Five
Powers not having been able to agree on a joint answer, although they
were unanimous in rejecting the King of Holland's proposal of the 24
articles.
London, England, 1838-04-11

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday for general
business.

The Sheriffs delivered in reports of the state of the several
prisons.

A reference was made to the Committee of Privileges on a
resolution from the Court of Common Council for doing away
with the hustings in the Guildhall on the Lord Mayor's Day
entertainment.

The Attorney in waiting attended and reported the election
of Wm. Magnay, Esq., as Alderman of the Ward of Vintry,
in the room of the late Mr. Winchester.
Mr. Magnay was introduced into the Court by Mr. Deputy
Whitby, Mr. Elms, Mr. Thomas Saunders, and several of
the Common Council and inhabitants of the ward, when Mr.
Saunders shortly addressed the Court, rnd presented Mr.
Magnay as their Alderman elect. Mr. Magnay having made
the declaration, was admitted and sworn into office, and took
his seat. . •

The LORD MAYOR laid before the Ccurt the Proclamation
for her Majesty's Coronation on the 26th June next, which
was read.

The proceedings of the Court of Aldermen on the Corona-
tions of King George the Fourth and King William the
Fourth, were read.

The Court agreed to a resolution for the Recorder to make
the claim for the Mayor, Commonalty, and Citizens of Lon-
don at the Court of Claims, for the usual services to be per-
formed by them at her Majesty's Coronation.
The Loan MAYOR laid before the Court a letter from the
Merchant Tailors' Company, relative to the Masters of the
twelve Companies attending to assist the Lord Mayor a s
Chief Butler, as usually accustomed.
The TowN CLERK Lid ht fore the Court the resolution of
the Court of Common Council, agreeing with a report from
a Committee recommending the Aldermen to appoint the
twelve Citizens to assist the Lord Mayor from amongst the
members of the Common Council.

The Court adjourned the consideration of both communica-
tions till they had received the report of the Recorder on the
City's claim.

The Court decided an appeal against the Watch_ra•e in
Cheap Ward upon the City of London, and confirmed the
rate.

Commissioners of the Court of Rcquest3 for Jai c next
wore appointed.
The Court broke up at an early hour.

Judge Moore's son-in-law is not to Ileac the situ-
ation of head of the constabulary in Ireland ; but his Lord-

SEED MARKET.

The briskness that there was in red and white Clover Seed has some.
what subsided. Prices remain much the same as on Monday. In other
descriptions of Seed nothing occurred worth notice.

SPIRIT MARKET.
Jamaica Rum is very limited in transactions, but in Leewards there
is more doing. Proofs 3s. Id., 3to 6 overproof 35. od. to 3s. 3d., 7 to
11 overproof 35. 4d. to 3s. 5d., 35 ovcrproof 4s. 4d. The stock of Rum
is 7,371 puns. and 1,061 hhds. Brandy is not active; Bourdeaux
4s. 4d. to 2s. 6d. ; Cognac 7d. to 4s. 6d. English, Scotch, and Irish
Spirits Os. Bd. per gallon. Geneva is firm at Is. I Id. to :Is.

TALLOW MARKET.
This market continues in a most inactive state; indeed, the season is
now against it. The price of P.Y.C. is 51s. on the spot, and for de.
livery 455. 6d. It is expected that there will be vast sums of money lost,
owing to the great decline which has taken place.

METAL MARKET.
Both for export and consumption, the market is dull for Iron, Lead,
Copper, and Tin. The stocks, generally speaking, are to a fair extent.
Prices are unvaried, but Spelter has advanced to 16/. 155., and 17/. on
the spot. For delivery, several parcels have been sold at 161. 103.

_ .
TEA SALE.—(THIS DAY.)
The sale continues to be well attended, but there is no improvement
evinced whatever, and it may be said to he a confirmed heavy sale.
Small parcels of all kinds sell, but prices continue drooping. The
exact decline cannot be ascertained until the sale has concluded.

COLONIAL MARKETS.
Owing to arrivals from the West Indies of produce, and to intelli-
gence that the condition of the crops is very promising, a dulness has
come over Sugar, the only article in this market in which there was any-
life and firmness. Now all is languid, and there appears to be eon.
siderable uncertainty in prices. The demand for Mauritius is
checked, and Bengal is declined 6d. per cwt. That so com-
paratively trifling a circumstance as that now quoted should
have depressed the market, shows the great weakness of the
market. B. P. Sugar is flat, but not lower. Lowest price 565. ;
middling 595. ; fine 635. The stock is now 6640 hhds. and trs., which
exceeds that of last year at this time by 1209. Refined Sugar is firm
but dull at 355. 6d. for fine crushed. There is no market now for Coffee.
The stock of British Plantation is 1225 casks, and 1013 barrels and
bags ; Ceylon 1216 bags; Mocha 391:," bales ; Brazil 37979 bags ;
To-day we have no public sales worth notice. A parcel of damaged
Havannah Sugar is the principal, and it is no criterion. Nothing doing
in Rice, Spices, Cocoa, Indigo, or Cotton, Rum is quiet but lower.
The Imports are light, and for tomorrow the only sale worth notice
is one of 7,500 bags of Mauritius Sugar.

CHURCH RATES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In your paper of the 9th of February, you made some
observations on the case of the Rev. T. Shakspeare, of Hillsby,
Gloucestershire, a Dissenting Minister, whose goods had been
distrained for Is. due on a Church-rate, and I now beg to
give you the sequel.
The Chapel Warden sold the goods, and like a good, easy
man felicitated himself on the easy victory he had achieved
over " the malignant Baptist;" but the " refractory spirit" of
" the trumpeter of sedition, blasphemy, and what is worse than
all, of schism," again burst forth to the astonishment of the
bewildered Warden, in the shape of a writ for the trespass
committed by him in the distraint which turned out to be
illegal, and the poor Warden gladly submitted to a compro-
mise by paying the costs of the action, and 101. for the trespass,
(which sum has been distributed in bread to the poor) and
also repurchasing and returning the goods distrained.
You may well say " let this truly Christian example be
generally followed, and Church-rates will soon be matter of
history."
April 6, 1838. A CONSTANT READER.

CHURCH-RATES.—During the past year, goods of the value
of 561. 15s. 6d. have been distrained for Church-rates,
amounting to 171. 13s. in the town of Dudley alone. These
goods were the property of thirteen persons of various reli-
gious denomination. In the house of Mr. Thos. Beazley,
schoolmaster, two desks, valued at 41. 10s. were to defray a
rate of 2s. ld. How long is this cruel destruction of property
to be permitted ; and how long shall the honest Dissenter be
adjudged to pay the penalty of a conscientious adherence to
his own views and form of religion ?
SHAMEFUL SEIZURE FOR CHURCH-RATES, AT BARNSLET•—
A:seizure was lately made upon the property of Mr. Sedg-
wick, one of the Society of Friends, for Church-rates, amount-
ing to 21. Ss., and constables' expenses 13s. 5d., which de-
serves more than a passing notice of reprobation for the manner
in which it was conducted by the constables. About a month
since, these individuals took a horse and cart to G. Sedgwick's
house, he being then in London, and his wife ill in bed. They
proceeded in their business without reading the warrant,
though a servant was standing by, and took eight hair-seated
mahogany chairs, valued at eight guineas, and a Pembroke
table, worth 21. 10s. It appears thit furniture worth nearly
ill., was taken for 21. 14s. Id. On the sale, however, those
parties contributed to turn the 11/. into 3/. 35., for which the
goods were disposed of. So much for the honesty of the con-
stables, and other individuals concerned. Mr. Sedgwick was
insulted by Ss. I Id. being returned to him, as the difference
between the rate and the value of the goods sold. It appears
that when the seizure was made, one of the parties engaged in
it proposed taking a sofa, but the cart would not hold it, and
therefore it was left behind !
