MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS
CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The aspect of both stock and produce markets in the City
was dull in the extreme to-day, and although the quotation of
the English Securities did not give way, it was as much from
pure inanition as any thing else. For money Consols remained
all day at 894. For the opening on the 16th of next month,
the current value all day was 89 to 881. Exchequer Bills
brought a premium of is. to 9s. , and East India Bonds were
at par to 2s. premium. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per
Cents. were at 97,4 to a, and the Three per Cents. Reduced
at 88L to Long Annuities were at 12,-1 to 13-16.
How long the present depression in Foreign Stocks is likely
to last is a question that really becomes of serious import,
when we reflect upon the large class of holders in this country,
the value of whose property is actually dwindling before their
eyes, in consequence of the shameless apathy and
wretched impoverishment of their creditors. What with
these adverse circumstances, and the prospect of one or
more of the States of North America failing in the
payment of the interest due upon their debts, the capi-
talists of England have been finely plucked within the last few
years, for no other purpose than that of exalting the bor-
rowers into manufacturing, if not political rivals. If money
is to be loaned, we trust hereafter it will be towards the im-
provement of the resources of Ireland, or of our own colonies,
the prosperity of which is bound up with our
_own. The Ac-
tive Spanish_Eonds were at 23* to 23 ; the New Portuguese
Five per Cents. at 33* to a ; the Colombian Stock of 1824 at
20.4- ; the Alexican of 1837 at 27 ; the Old Brazilian at 64 ;
the Peruvian Six per Cents. at 15; the French Three per
Cents. at 77f. 25c. ; and the Dutch Five per Cents. at 99741
to 100.

Shares were offered rather freely at a decline, the following
being the current quotations :—Great Western Railway Shares
were 26 to 26%; the New, 13* to 11; the Fifths, 63 to ;
the London and birmingham, 68 to 67 ; the Ni,w, 214; the
Midland Counties, Quarter, 7; the :York and North Midland,
21 to *; the New, 10; the North Midland Thirds, I ; and

Westminster Bank New Shares were 16 ; and Union of Aus-

Shares dropped from h premium to par.

The accounts from Naples of the 20th of May state that the
house of Messrs. Rothschi'd and Co. had made a loan of
300,000 of ducats, which the Government required in order
to settle the Sicilian affairs.

This is quite a blank day in the City. The non-arrival of
the Britannia excites a lively feeling of solicitude and anxiety,
and every day of delay brings with it an increaEe in the pre-
mium of insurance on her.

The produce markets all wear a heavy appearance, and
money in the City, generally, is not obtainable on the best Fe -
curity under 5 per cent. Tea is less firm than it was, owing
to the large public sales coming on.

FATAL ACCIDENT WHILST BATHING IN
THE Rivait LEA.—An inquest was held yesterday morning
before 11r. Baker, at the Coventry Cross, Bromley, on the
body of Robert Bengough. aged 17, a fancy toymaker. Thomas
Bengough said that on Sunday morning last he was passing
the end of the river Lea, near that place, when he saw his son,
the deceased, about to bathe. Witness advised him not to do
so, as the weather was then rather cold and the wind high;
but his son persisted, and went in. He had not remained on
the bank long before he heard the deceased cry out that he
was entangled in the weeds and was drowning. Witness
could not swim, and we.= therebre unable to render him the
least assi.,tanoe. but he 4;41 d loudly for help. A mau came is
a few seconds and jumped into the mater, but could not suc-
ceed in finding him before he was quite dead. Verdict—Ac •
eideutal death.

MARYLEBONE ELECTION.
TO THE EDIT 01? OF THE SUN.
SIR—As you have published the Correspondence between
Sir Charles Napier ,•nd Air. Young I shall feel obliged by your
adding the further Correspondence between Mr. 13. Wall, :Ur.
Young's Secretary, my,elf.—l am, Sir. your obedient
servant, JOSEPH IVIMEY, Hon. See.
Jtwe 9, 1841.

Nu. I.

28, Nort, June , 181.
Sts,.—The resolutions adopted byo then-street Warren-stree9t Soc4iety,
and forwarded to Mr. Young, have been submitted to the As-
sociation ; and I am desired to state that they would con ider a
requisition, signed oily by the Reformers who voted at the last
two elections, as a most unsatisfactory test of public opinion.
The annual migration of electi,rs amounts to many hundreds,
and the registered Reformers of 1837 must be a mere fraction
of the Reformers registered in lti4l. I am, therefore, instruc-
ted again to press upon the attention of Sir C. Napier's friends
the necessity of a public meeting, as the only means by which
the peril the Reform interest is now plated in can be averted.
1 am authorised to add that persons shall be stationed at the
doors of the place of meetio,i, with strict lists cf the electors, to
ascertain that every individual who presents himself is an
elector, before he is admitted,

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) BENJAMIN WALL, Hon. Sec.
Joseph Isimey, Esq.

No. 11.

62, Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, June 9, 1841.
SIR,—I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter declining the offer of Sir Charles Napier's Committee
to test the preference of the constituency for himself or Air.
Young, by a canvass of the Liberal electors of the borough.
You must allow me to observe upon the impropriety of charging
Sir Charles Napier with declining to abide by the decision of
a public meeting, when lie has in fact attended no less than
ten public meetings,4' at all of which a vast majority has declared
in his favour. On the other hand Mr. Young has not called
a singe public meeting since the certainty of a dissolution of
Parl,ament has been manifest. But he did attend the great
meeting of the electors at the Yorkshire Sting°, where, not-
ithstandivig the profuse distribution of circulars inviting Air.
Young's friends to be present, a large majority held up their
hands for Sir Charles Napier.
Since therefore the evidence of so many meetings has proved
the decided preference of the electors for the Commodore, and
since Mr. Young's Committee decline the only ceher test, viz.
a public canvass, it remains for Sir Charles Napier to pursue
the same straightforward
course he has hitherto adopted.
He will therefore continue his district meetings, and conclude
them with one general meeting of all the Liberal electors, of
which full notice will be publicly given, of which also you
shall have the earliest possible information, and which will of
course be open to Mr. Young and his friends. The Committee
have ne doubt that on this, as on every previous occasion, Sir
Charles Napier will be received with that enthusiasm which
has already characterised his progress through the borough.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
JOSEPH IVIMEY, Hon. Secretary.
Mr. Benjamin Wall.
