EVENING EDITION.
SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS PAT..
CHRONICLE.—The debate is again adjourned; and we
venture to say that the Tories are by no means so eager for
their majority as they were when the speech of Dr. Lushing-
ton, and the proceedings of the Anti-Slavery Committee, led
them to believe that their hypocrisy would be succesful. The
Ministers who should dream of taking office on the back of *
majority in favour of monopoly, would, in the present temper of
the nation, prove themselves fit for a lunatic asylum. The
budget has gone to the hearts of the people. They are ready
to prove that the Ministry who have to rely on them, may
command their fervent support in return. The people feel
that they aro fighting their own battle—that to desert the Ali-
nisters at this crisis would be treason to themselvee. We
know not, of course, what decision Ministers may come to
with regard to the part they ought to take at this time.
feelings of the Tories leave no doubt as to what they think
Ministers ought to do. The Tory barristers and other re-
tainers of the Opposition exclaim, " Surely Ministers will re-
sign." The resignation would delight them. They dread
nothing so much as a dissolution, with the odium of corn,
timber, and sugar monopolies to be encountered. The est
ab hoste doceri.

TIMES.—In one point of view the sugar duties debate is
little calculated to raise the character of the British House of
Commons. It is true, indeed, that few persons of any educa-
tion would form their estimate of the mental qualifications of
that assembly from the sayings or doings of still orators as
Messrs. Hawes and Hume. But %hen a person so greatly
lauded as Mr. Macaulay has been a follower in their train, it
may be become a question whether even the general standing
of the body of which these three gentlemen, thus united in one.
argument, and that a grossly illogical and fallacious one, form
a part, is not seriously lowered by their joint absurdities.
We speak strongly, because we have been deeply im-
pressed with the foolishness and criminality of these
proceedings. A sort of key-note having been struck,
a crowd of partisans, both in and out of Par-
liament, have joined in a general chorus in support of the
monstrous and silly proposition that " two blacks make one
white." To come to particulars. The Whig Administra-
tion, professing to be in all its main features identical with
the Cabinet of 1833, which• framed and passed the Negro
Emancipation Bill, now coolly comes forward with a scheme
of finance, the purport and inevitable result of which must be
to undo all that was thereby done; efid to render the
20,000,000/. of compensation-money given to the West Indian
planters a dead loss to the county ! It follows naturally,that every
honest and sincere opponent of slavery at once arrays himself
against this proposition, although the group of close-fisted
Quakers and noisy Whigs who form the majority in the so-called
Anti-Slavery Society proved yesterday how factious has been
their agitation on the question, and how completely and how
readily the professed object of their union is sacrificed
whenever a party purpose is to be served. This gross
abandonment of principle, however, on the on of the
small fry of the Society tends only to show forth in more
advantageous contrast the conduct of the two !Were
of the genuine Anti. Slavery party. Two firmer Whige
than ,Sir S. Lushington and Sir T. Powell Buxton are no-
where to be found ; but their whole lives have been devoted to
the cause of negro emancipation, and they cannot bring them-
selves to abandon, in a moment, all the labours of the past
thirty years, and to aid in re-establishing the very evil which
was, as far as possible, abolished in 1833. Their whole in-
fluence, therefore, is thrown into the adverse scale, and or* of
the ablest and most respectable Whigs in the HoUSe of Com-
mons has the credit of being denominated by the Downing-
street Journals, the maker of " very Silly speech !"

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS,

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—Money is very scarce on the Stock Ex-
change, and much wanted, the rates given for short periods-
being fully 6 per cent. Consols for the Account are quoted a
shade lower than yesterday, but business is limited; the clog-
--

ing price was 891 to which was the only quotation through-
out the day. "In the House" to-day the business has been
chiefly confined to the settlement of accounts in foreign secu-
rities. As some of the unitiated may, perhaps, throw a glance
over this department of our columns, it is right to explain to
them that the City folk., besides the Salons of Guildhall,
have " a House" cf their own as well as the great dons
in the West. When we speak of the latter it is usually
distinguished here by the proper appellation of " Parliament,'
or " the House of Commons," for " the House," par excel-
lence, in the phraseology of Threadneedle-street, always means
the Stock Exchange. Well, "in the House" to-day, the mem-
bers have been busy settling their accounts, and we suspect
that some of them must have been rather sore at the low figure
of Svanish Actives, which still hang fire, notwi'listanding the
Regency of Espartero, but they will, no doubt, move up a
peg when people have time to think more about it, and know
which of the rival companies now performing every evening in.
St. Stephen's chapel are to have the handling of the loave.
and fishes. Speculation must be at a stand still until that
affair is finally settled.
TIMES.—The business of the day in the Consol Market
was of an unimportant character, and the fluctuations in price
a mere shade above yesterday. Money was, however, in gene-
ral request both here arid in the Foreign Stock Market, and
6 per cent. was paid for short periods on the deposit of Go.
vernment Securities but it did not further aeect the value of
Exchequer Bills, which were finally quoted, as yesterday, 3s.
tops. premium.

`The'inquiry for money to assist the settlement of the half-
monthly account in the foreign securities would not have been
much felt, the account itself being of limited character, had it
not been for the gradual absorption of capital within the last
few days in the English market, which, producing, .as it has
done, a comparative scarcity and a corresponding advance in
value, makes the fact more evident than when an easy state of:
things prevails. As in the Share Market yesterday, the moon-.
venience, if any, was soon surmounted, but it tended to dew
press pricers.

The supply of bills on Hamburgh having rather exceeded
the demand, a consequent improvement took place in the rate
of exchange on that place. Amsterdam was also rather bet-
ter, though in a more trifling degree. Paris may bo considered
the same as last post.
At a meeting of the Joint-stock Banks, the country private
bankers, and the representatives of the Scotch Banks, held a
few days ago, it was resolved that the meeting would co-
operate in resisting every attempt to interfere with a system
of issues and circulation which they considered conducive te.
the public interest in their respective localities, and to the
prosperity of the various banking establishments throughout
the United empire.
SUN.—There was a pressing demand for money in som e
quarters to-day, chiefly on the Stock Exchange, and per-
haps this was rather enhanced by a vague rumour of the
embarrassment of a monied house, which we could trace
to no authentic source. The Funds notwithstanding
supported their value. For immediate transfer Consol9
realized 891 to 89k, and for the Account 89+, alternately
buyers and sellers. Exchequer Bills were still at a low
premium, viz., ss. to 3s. ; and East India Bonds were at
2s. discount to ls. premium. Bank Stock was at 168 to
167 ; and India Stock receded to 25.01, but closed at
25q. The New Three-and-a-Half realised 894 to 89k,
and the Three per Cents. 84 to 881.
The attention of the jobbers in foreign securities
was chiefly occupied to-day in the adjustment
of the half monthly account. As much as 8 per
cent. was paid on the security of foreign bonds
for temporary accommodation. The fluctuation
in Spanish Stock since the account began, has been_
from 23+ to 24t- ; in Portuguese from 341 t0.33+; ink
Mexican from 30+ to 28i ; and in Dutch Two-and-la..
Half per Cents. from 52+ to 521. To-day the Actirra
Spanish Bonds 'Were marked 241 +, and the Deferrial
114. Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at 34, and
the Three per Cents. at 20+ to being an improvement
for each. Mexican Stock was at 281 to if ; Beleritui
Bonds were dull at Hof Danish at 77-i- to ; and
Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. at 521 to
In the Share Market, also, this was settling day, and
it is probable that the jobbers for a decline had the best
of it, though Great Western Shares, having improved,
may be said to • have bept better than the others. They
were quoted at 28 to 29, the Ncw at 14 to 131, and the
New South Western Tenths at a premium. Brighton
were at a decline of 4 to 3+, Midland Counties 12, North
Midland 24i, South-Eastern 35, and Birmingham and/
Gloucester 30+ discount. Colonial Bank Shares realise tf
10 to 11, London and Westminster 213-, and Nationaleaf
Ireland 17 premium. Union of London were at par.
The Foreign Exchanges this afternoon were much tho
same. The rate on the principal continental cities for
paper at 90 days was most currently this :—Parie
2Gf. 60c. to Gsc., Amsterdam 12 3 to -A-, Antwerp 12 3
to 34, Hamburgh 13 9i to 10, Frankfurt 149 a to and
Trieste 10.

Petitions for a repeal of the Corn-laws have
Lave been prepared in Bristol and the surrounding vil-
- -des, and have been very numerously signed. In Bris-
more than 1,000 signatures were obtained._Bredford

refugee, and a distinguished violinist, died on the 4th
inst., at her residence, No. 27, Great Clarendon-street,
Somers-town, after a long illness of two years and ono
month, which was caused by an apoplectic attack and
the accumulation of blood on the brain, accom-
panied by palsy. Madame Filipowicz was a pupil of
the celebrated violinist Spohr, whose delightful melody
she was so well able to understand. She was well known
to the musical world by the clever and charming method
of her execution on the violin ; whilst her amiable qua-
lities caused her to be cherished by all the artists whose
sincere friendship she possessed. She was sought for by
pupils, in consequence of the easy method her instruc-
