We have perused this paniphlet,'_with all our at-
tentibn, atitl must confess that -the author has •
staggered us, it -ne has not brought ti%. over to 2c-
knowle,lge the inevitable •force- of the logic by
which he sopports his main paradox, which is, that
" there is a sccret principle operating in faVoor
of the Stock Jobbers, in which the public actually
tisit the operation against themselves ; and that
the, highet price the Jobbers buy stock at, the
snore profit they get,-; and, vice versa, the -lower
they sell at, the more pi ()tit they also gain
It is trite that our hesitation in granting that
this paradox is proved, may its some measore arise
from our ignorance of the language in' wh',eli the
author writes. • " 13nils, bears, ponies,' doing so
much bulling all the way up, bearing all the
gray down, hanging, dusting wig,s,'"itc. Sze. are
words and phrases to which we koow,not how to
attach the r;glit meaning; notwithstanding there
are notes and -a glossary to explain them.
Still we perceive in thiS work much of curious
formation on a Subject little understood, though
of the first -commercial and impot-
lance. There- is• evidently muck reason on
the side taken by the writer, arni-we cannot
help agreeing to the necessity of some of
his conclusions. We are therefore induced
VI say, that his pamphlet is - not only worth
the perusal of all' persons connected with the
Funds. but generally, of all those who are desir-
ous of leartijog..wa,ny..-oclilin4ttct:s relating to the
system `of Stock-jobbing, tile characters and
habits of the persons employed in it, and the pro-
digious effect produced upon the real capital of
the British tinpire, by a few persOns who FA ve
no car:-H1 all.--The opinion that the existence
of the 'Stria bXchange, as a Secret Body acting
with closed di)ors, is incompatible with the pub-
lie interests, is very strongly supported.-

usual interest of 5 per cent. of baring the cargo of
a ship consigned' to him, and charging upon the
