MONEY AND CITY NE WS.

(FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.)
CH RO N I CLE.—The appearance of the English Stock-
market is altogether better, and Consols are gradually re-
covering the depression they lately sustained. The last
prices were :—Consols for Money, 931 to ; for the Ac-
count, 93i to 94 ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 101 i
to ; Exchequer Bills, 65 to 67 prem. ; Bank Stock, 203
to 204 ; India Bonds, 6.5 to 67 prem. ; and India Stock,
260 to 261.

Foreign securities of all descriptions are particularly
heavy, and most of them have fallen, although business on
the whole was limited.

According to the accounts received lately from Paris,
the movement against the protection duty in favour of
the beet-root growers is becoming most powerful in the
mercantile parts of France. Tne deputations to Paris are
very numerous, both of beet-root growers and of those re-
presenting the colonial and shipping interests of the

southern and western ports ; and the King and Minister;
are said to be greatly embarrassed by the difficulties of the
case. On one hand there is the strong probability that
the whole of the colonies of France will be lost to that.
country if the prohibition upon colonial sugars be not very
speedily removed ; and on the other hand the capital in-
vested in beet-root growing is stated to be equal to
100,000,000 of francs, the parties interested in which have,
it is declared, an influence in the Chamber of Deputies
greater than that of the Minister and the Court. The
answer of the King to a late deputation of beet-root
growers shows that the usual juste milieu course is to be
attempted between the contending parties ; but this, in the
present instance, is thought to be impracticable, insomuch
as the cultivation of beet-root for the purposes of sugar
is so absurdly expensive a mode of supplying the country
with that commodity, that even a very slight reduction of
the duty upon colonial sugars wmfd at once abolish the
whop beet-root production of the North of France. That
the monopolists will therefore resist the Government in
any proposition for relieving the colonies is considered to
be almost certain, and very important results may soon
be found to arise from this question as affecting France
in her foreign possessions, and as a first-rate European
power.

TIMES.—A slight improvement upon the last price
of the funds was maintained during the early part of the
day, but eventually they receded to the former quotations.
From Malta, to the 4th of October, it is noticed
tlot the new Act of Parliament for the imposition
and regulation of intermediate rates of postage between
places in the Mediterranean had gone into operation, and
the effect was to reduce the rates between Malta, Gibraltar,
the lonian Islands, or Alexandri•i, from Bd. to 6d. each
single letter ; the same rate to be chargeable between
" any ports or places situate in the Mediterranean, the
Adriatic, the Archipelago, the Black Sea, or in any part of
Turkey, or in Spain, Portugal, France, in the Mediterra-
nean, or on the northern coast of Africa, whether within
or without.the Straits of Gibraltar ;" provided such letters
had not been previously brought from any place in the
United Kingdom, or intended to be sent there.
A half-yearly meeting was held in Dublin on the 15th
of the shareholders of the Agricultural and Commercial
Bank, for the purpose of receiving a report of the Direc-
tors. The main feature of the accounts was the statement
of a surplus of 254,0431., after provision for all " engage-
ments to the public." The report declared the resolution of
the Directors to adhere to the determination of not " in-
creasing the number of working branches beyond 20," and
those located in districts best adapted for profitable opera-
tions. A good deal of soreness was expressed about cer-
tain p'irtions of the evidence given before the Parliamen-
tary Committee on Joint•steck Banks by, as it is stated,
interested or incompetent individuals,"and with reference
to such part of that evidence as is comprised in the queries
from 4,203 to 4,208, various explanations and contradictions
are given. Among these it was asserted by a witness that
11,4471. was the amount of " past due" bills at the Boyle
branch, which he
,va!ued at 1,000/. only, the actual re-
sult being that the whole has since been got in except
30001., the greater part of which, however, was " consi-
dered good." From December, 1834, to November,
1836, the bills discounted at Castlebar amounted to about
600,000/. The past due bills at the latter date were about
15,0001., now reduced to 3,9001., which were in v:eekly
course of collection. The " past due" bills at Cork, in
November, 1836, amountel to 24,2951., now reduced to
5,7001. ; Limerick, 8,0001. past due bills, reduced to
6531. ; Kilkenny, 11,3141., at present 1,3321. ; in Water-
ford alf paid up but 150/., &c. The attention of those
present was called to the Bank of Ireland Charter, lately
renewed until the Ist of January, 1840, when, of course,
every exertion would be made to secure its further renewal.
Such a monopoly was declared to be " highly detrimental"
to commerce, and from these, with other indications, it
may be expected that a strong opposition will in due time
be combined against it.

HERALD.—The Maltese papers state that, under the
authority of a decree issued by the Neapolitan and Sicilian
Government, Mr. Back, an Englishman, had received the
privilege of working for minerals in all parts of the king-
doms of Naples and Sicily, and that the Company formed
for this undertakinghas a capital of 1,000 ounces.

By the schooner Larch, from Rio de Janeiro, via Jersey,
we have received dates from thence to the 18th of August.
The commerce cf the country was generally dull, but the
exchange on London bad advanced from 2711 to 27i a 28.
The local Six per Cent. Stock was quoted at 82, and the
Treasury had made some few sales. The Steam-boat Com-
pany's Shares were at 15 prem.
The late commercial advices from the United States
dwell particularly on the increased mercantile communica-
tion between the State of New York and the very fertile
State of Ohio, by way of Philadelphia. The trade be-
tween the three States had most amazingly increased in
consequence of the demand fur agricultural produce, and
the receipts on the New York Canal this year have ex-
ceeded the great trading year of 1836. In connection
with this subject we may notice the Harresburgh and Lan-
caster Railway, which traverses the heart of Pennsylvania,
and is now the connecting link between the States of Ohio
and New York, and which, though not completed, is pro-
ducing from eleven to twelve thousand dollars per month.
With respect to the loan in aid of the Harresburgh and
Lancaster Railroad, which has been taken by the house of
Messrs. D. and S. Salomons, it appears that the details of
the contract went out by the Great Western, and their ra-
tification was returned by the same vessel. One of the
moat important features of this contract is that the con-
tracting parties on the other side of the Atlantic have
agreed to permit the Bonds, which are sterling and payable
in London, to be converted into American currency at the
specie par of exchange, at any time, on the option of the
holders of the dividends receivable in Philadelphia, which
.1-enders this security, unlike the majority of the United
States' public Bonds, negotiable on either side of the
Atlantic.

posT,The Money Market continues. in a most inactive
state, and the public as well as the jobbers do not
.seem at
all inclined to carry on any speculation at the present time.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury hive
arrived at Hatfield House, Herts, after visiting the Duke of
We!lingtor, at Walmer Castle.
CLEVELAND HOUSE, ST. JAMES'S.--Letters
were brought by the Earl of Durham's nephew and Aide-de-
Camp, Mr. Cavendish, directing the housekeeper to get the
mansion ready fur the reception of the family by the latter
end of the year. The house steward of the noble Governor-
General, who attended him to Quebec, was also a passenger
by the Great Western steam-ship, and is come over on busi-
ness relative to the return of the household to England. It
was understood that the Earl would be absent two years in
Canada, and the family mansion was dismantled of most of
the furniture previous to undeitoing a thorough course of
repair and embellishment, which had already commenced ;
and Mr. Stephenson, secretary to his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex,
was appointed agent to his Lordship's exten-
sive estates in the north.
WENTWoRTfi HOUSE. —A large family circle was
assembled at the above splendid seat of the Fitzwilliam family
since the late marriage of Lady Anne; Viscount and Vis-
countess Milton are there. Shooting and hunting occupy the
gentlemen in the morning, and music and a dance are gene-
rally the amusements of the evening.
REDBOURNE HALL. The Duke of St. Alban's
has arrived at this ancient seat, from a shooting excursion in
Scotland, and intends to remain here three months. The late
Duchess never liked the hall, and did not reside here. Mr.
Arthur and Lady Caroline Cape!, and Mr. Montague and
Lady Georgian°. Cholmeley, have arrived on a visit to his
Grace. ,

THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUCII.—It is with regret
we have heard it asserted, on authoril which we are inclined
to believe, that this princely nobleman has determined to break
up his numerous magnificent establishments in this country,
and retire with his family for some years to the Continent.
The reason we have heard assigned for this sudden resolve is
the delicate health of the eldest hope of Buceleuch, the Earl
of Dalkeith. The prospect of this change has caused much
lamentation in the town of Dalkeith, as we have no doubt it
will also do in the vicinity of all the other princely residences of
his Grace. Caledonian Mercury.
APPROPRIATION OR EXTINCTION.—We see in
the Dublin Evening Post a requisition for a meeting, to be held
in the County of Meath, with a slew to tie abolition of Tithes,
or their appropriation to national purposes.
