CITY, TIIIMS1)..11( EVENING.

Notwithstanding the great abundance of money,
the English funds have been very flat this day. Consols for
the October settlement opened at 81a, but large sales having
been effected by the brokers for the west end of the town, they
fell to 811, and closed at this value. In Bank Stock, few
bargains have been done for the opening. The price is 247 to
248, but the uncertainty of the intentions of the Bank, relative
to this capital, prevents transactions to any considerable extent
taking place in this stock. Much business continues to be
done in most of the foreigh securities, and more particularly
in the Spanish and Chilian. In Spain, as well as in the
' New South American states, liberty of action must soon
create national prosperity, and their Governments, whose ob-
ject is the general welfare, and not the aggrandisement of a
few, cannot fail to acquire credit in England corresponding to
the extent of their freedom. The effects of despotism on pub-
lic credit are widely different, and are well exemplified in the
trifling investments which take place in Austrian and Russian
securities, although those of the latter are supported by most
powerful individul interest. The public generally, however, do
not seem to have any great relish for transactions with their
Imperial Majesties, and there is a conviction, that either bar-
barism or revolution must be the result in every nation of
all attempts to fetter the human mind. The Russian Go-
vernment, by its edicts against every society, when the
principles of civilization are discussed and promoted, also
shews such a deep-rooted aversion to the improvement of
their people, that few Englishmen can place any great credit
in the solidity of a state of affairs where the acquirement of in-
dividual property is next to impossible, and where the cultiva-
tion of the mind is declared to be criminal. From these causes
neither the Russian nor the Austrian Funds are favourites in
England, for no confidence can be reposed in States where, as
in Turkey, the continuance of barbarity is eaought to be neces-
sary to their internal tranquillity. A good deal of business
continues to be done in Columbian Bonds, and as soon as a ra-
tification of the last loan is received from that rising Empire, a
considerable advance in the value of their Stock may be ex-
pected. The current prices of the different Foreign Funds are

From the Ist of March to the 10th of September, 1821, there
were imported 20,786 casks and 499 serons of Tallow, and
during the same period this year the importation has been
20,698 casks and 343 serons. Great speculations are going for-
ward in this article at present, but as they are all made in St.
Petersburgh yellow candle, the public are not much interested
in the success of either of the parties. There is a great in-
crease in the quantity produced at home, and many large
towns, which used to draw their supplies from London, are
now enabled to send up consignments at very low prices.—
This is another of the benefits attending the present most
abundant growth of all articles of agricultural production.
From the 19th March to the 10th September, 1821, the im-
portation of hemp amounted to, from St. Petersburgh 975, and
from Riga 101 tons ; in the same period, 1822, from St. Pe-
tersbur,,h the quantity is 6102, and from Riga 1363. During
the whole of 1821, the quantity was 6762 St. Petersburgh, and
1177 from Riga.' This year it must be much larger. The pre-
sent prices of tallow are 395. to 405., and of hemp, 335. 6d. to
395.—( No-ruing Chronicle.)

LAMBETH PARISH.

THE PEDLAR'S ACRE ESTATE.

Yesterday a vestry was held in the parish of
St. Mary, Lambeth, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the propriety of applying to
Parliament for power to dispose of the estate
belonging to the above parish, situate in Ped-
lar's Acre, and applying the proceeds to the
payment of puechase money for scites, inclosures
of burial grounds, and other purposes connected
with the building of New Churches in the said
parish.
The Rector opened.the business by giving a short history of
the estate now called Pedlar's Acre. It appeared from the
Rev. Gentleman's statement that the property had been in the
possession of the Parish near three centuries. They held it in
1504, when it bore the name of the C'hurcli Iloddy. It was
not called Pedlar's Acre before 1690. In 1554 it was let for
five shillings per acre. In 1690 it was first let on lease for
building. In 1761 the lease expired; and some doubt having
•arisen on the right of the parish to grant a lease; the opinions.
of the law officers were taken. Sir DUDLEY RYDER. decided
that the parish could grant the lease, and the estate was let for
60/. per annum. In 1813 it was again let, and the parish ob-
tained a premium of 6,0001. which was applied to the relief of
the poor. The annual produce of the lease, of- which there
are some years unexpired, is now 1001. a-year.
From the above account it appears that the estate was in the
possession of the parish near 200 years before it was called the
Pedlar's Acre, and the supposed bequest of the Pedlor, whose
effigy is preserved in the church window, still remains unex-
plained. It seems cleat that the estate was appropriated to
charitable uses. In consequence of the title of the parish to the
property .having been called in question by an informer, a
Committee was appointed in May last to stay law proceedings,
and secure the legal estate from further expence The report
of that Committee has not yet been made.
The above being the state of the property, the object was to
apply to Parliament for a Bill, to vest the estate in trustees, in
order that it may be sold, not to defray the expellees of build-
ing new churches, but the expence of sates, inclosures, and
Law expences, which are calculated to amount to 10,090/.
• Mr. LET T, the Magistrate, supported the object of the no-
tice, and urged the sale of the estate on two grounds. First, he
'contended that a fund of this description should not be at the
disposal of a Vestry ; and, secondly, that an application to
Parliament to vest the,property in Trustees for a special pur-
pose, would stop litigation and save expence.
Mr. JONES said, a would be unwise and injudicious to dis-
pose of the property, especially as they had power under the
New Churches Act to raise in twenty years, 60,000/. by a rate
of 4d. in the pound.
After considerable discussion on the question, the Vestry
agreed to the following Resolutions
Ist. Resolved that it is not expedient at present to determine
that application be made to Parliament to dispose of 'the Pat..'
lar's Acre estate, and apply the proceeds to the expence of
building new churches.
2d. It appears to be 'expedient to this Vestry to direct the
Committee-already appointed, to apply to Parliament for poWerf
to vest the Pedlar's Acre Estate in Trustees, ant apply the
' proceeds in aid of the parish rates.
After a vote of thanks to the Rector for his able and impar-
tial conduct in the Chair, the Vestry adjourned.

We received' this morning the Paris Papers of
Tuesday, from which we give extracts in a pre-
ceding column. We are still without any official
accounts of the late events in Thessaly, but from
every quarter communications arrived confirma-
tory of the battle having terminateg in favour of
the Greeks. It is even said that CHOURSCHID
PACUA has suffered a second defeat, in attempt-
ing to repair his first losses, and to avert the fate
which, under the Ottoman Government would
inevitably await his ill success. The last
conflict was as sanguinary and as warmly con-
tested as the first ; and report adds, that
CHOURSCIIID is either killed or among the pri-

soners.

The Journal des Debuts communicates a piece
of intelligence from Spain; which; if true, will

be attended with important advantages to the
Constitutional party, not only in its immediate
but also its ulterior consequences. It states/
that the Trappist, who has been one of the most
active insurgent Chieftains, had been sold by
eight of his own followers, and delivered jot°
the hands of the Constitutionalists.

Accounts have been received tl►is morning from
Hull of a very distressing nature with regard t°
the Greenland Whale Fishery, stating, that
7 Ships were totally lost-14 remained on the
ice, and not expected to get off—and 11 were
missing. The account also adds, that the F►sl►
they had caught averaged about 124 tons, Which
last year was 10,000.

Allowing that the " PITT SYSTEM," and net:
the inevitable course of action consequent up°ll
the French Revolution, occasioned the expendi.
ture by this country of fifteen hundred raillie°
in twenty-four years, it by no means foll°Ws
that that expenditure was the cause of the e‘ist
ing public embarrassments. On the contrail'
dm profuse expenditure seems to have carried
the country rapidly forward in prosperity, and t°'
have kept up its prosperity so long as the
great scale of expenditure was continued'''.
It is evident, even from a very superiich4
examination, that the public disorder arises
rather from repletion than exhaustion. The
versal complaint is, not that the country has bee"
drained of its resources, or stripped of its 131;-...
ductions, but that all the sources of its wealtc;
are gorged,—that all its markets of every kiil
are glutted with superabundance,—that eve!' ►ts

a more extended market for their producti°lls;tie
That market the profuse expenditure °f
