310NEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIM E S.—lt appears that what passed a, the late meet-
ing of Portuguese bondholders on he 28th ult., as de-
scribA under this head, has conveyed an erroneous impres-
son of extent to which the Committee of the Stock
Exchange are disposed to support the views cf those who
took the lead at that meeting. The Committee, in fact,
have Lever expressed any opinion on the propriety orothcr-
wire of the conversion of the bonds, end have merely m-
sured the parii:,s eJncerned that they would act in this
ease strictly up to the spirit of their former regulation,
so often before adverted to, when the bad faith of
the Spanish Govu.arneut became a matter of public
question, and in which they have declared that they
•` will nut sm.ction or take any cogninnce w-bmcver
bang :ins that may be made in new bands or stock, or
stay oiher securities, issued by any foreign Government
li 4t has net duly paid the dividcnds on former loans raised
la this country, unless that Government shall have made
some sati:fietory acrangernm t with ti.e holders of such
stock of bonds, or other ac.cuft ie3, on which the diviiends
shall have bi ea Icf% in are, ar." In the face of such a
communication from the Committee, it was cfrainly too
much to say that their support had been secured to the re-
tistaute to the proposed conversion, but it may come to the
same this in the end, if the " arrangement" shall not be
found satnfictory to the holders of the stock generally.
This law of th, Committee is a very judicious one, and
has, indeed, always been mentioned with c)rnmendaii
whenmr any circumstances Lave brough: it into public
no fee.

The &relish Steck-market was fully sustained by the
iotoliigerice publi,ihed this morning of the receipt of de-
spatches from Mr. Fox, so Lilly confirmatory of the pacific.
statements in the " Genevese Traveller's" letter. From
the commenc it,ent of business speculation was for the rise,
and another advance of resrly per cent, took place, so
titot ihtre has been a rise (a very unusual one of late) of
nearly I per cent. within the-e List two days. At the
close cf the rearkot, prices were e shade lower than at their
higtest quotation, but the decline was so very trivial that
it could only be supposed one of those ordinary reactions
which usually follow an important rise. There is no pres-
qure for money in the Stock Exchange, but nevertheless it
fetches about 4 to 44 per cent.
A correspondent writes to show the commercial con-
diti,n of Beyrout, where, he says, there is at present a
bri-k demand for British manufactures. The cessation, of
import, tion during the war caused the old stocks to go off
at good prices. Lebanon is tranquil, though Napllus
and the south of Syria are in rather an unsettled condi-
tion, and the caravan routs from Beyrout to Damascus, and
from Scanderoon to Aleppo, are said to be as secure as
before the war, while the inhabitants are industriously cul-
tivating the rich alluvial plains of the Bekaa, which is
the granary of central Syria. Silk, which is the sti._
plc article of the coast, is unfortunately unfit for the
European market, owing to a defective system of
winding, and this presents an obstacle in the way
of its trade with Europe. Now, however, opetLtions
are carried on to effect an improvement, and arc expected
to prove successful, the war having been the great inter-
ruption to progress. On the whole, the removal of Me-
htnct Ali's power over Syria is regarOed as beneficial, trod
as causing a more healthy actin) in the country, while
there seems to be none of that anarchy which some had pre-
di,!ted from the downfall of the Paella's rule.

The gallant conduct of Captain Douglas, and his re-
ctivi:ig the Order of Knighthood, have brought to mild
the cas f Sir Nathaniel Dance, who was similarly re-
warded for his action with the French squadron during the
time of the war. A correspondent is in ertor, by sup-
posing the case of Sir N. Dai.co was overlooked, when
Captain Douglas was said to be the first of ct:r of a private
merchant-ship so honoured, a 3 a reference to the paragraph
to which he alludes will show that a distinction is made
betv.een officers in the East India Company's service and
those of merely private merchantmen, and that it is only
as being the first knighted officer of the latter class that
Captain Douglas is specified.

CHRONICLE.—The defalcation of Abbott, one of
the official assignees in the Court of Bankruptcy is at-
tended with circumstances so important to the rights and
interests of cieditora as to render a strict inquiry neces-
sary, not only into his affairs, but into the system under
which the moneys belonging to bankrupts are managed by
such officials, ar.d the extent to which they arc permitted
to retain these moneys in their hands. Abbott is said t
have abscorded with a very large amount of public pro-
perty. It is difficult in such eases to ascertain the
amount. We have heard it stated in the present case
at so large a sum that we decline to name it; but if
aiy very considerab'e amount should turn out to have
been due to Creditors of bankrupts, by the de-
faulter, it will be proven beyond all question, that
there has been remissness in some quarter. It is ordered
by the Bankrupt Act th•t the official assignee shall " give
such security and be subject to such rules as the said
chief and other Judges, with the consent of the Lord
Chancellor, shall direct ;" and all the personal estate and
effects, and the rents and profits of th,:, real estate, and the
proceeds of sale of all the estate and effects, real and per-
sonal, of the bankrupt, shall in cv ry ea e be ponessed and
received by such °Cid assignee alone, save who e it shall
be otherwise directed by the said Court of Bankruptcy, or
of any Judge or Commissioner thereof; and " all stock in
the public funds, or of any public company, and all moneys,
Exchequer Bill., India Bonds, or other public securities;
and all bills, notes, and other negotiable instruments, shall
be forthwith transferred, delivered, and paid by such official
assignee into the Bank of Englantl, to the credit of the Ac-
countant- General of the High Court of Chancery." The
Act provides that the official assign, c shall " forthwith"
pay in the moneys, as he receives them on account of cre-
ditors, is the came of the Accountant- General ; thus
evincing a proper care and anxiety that their rights should
not be prejudiced by the failure or dishonesty of these
functionaries, leaving the manner of carrying this object
into effect to such rules of Court as the Judges may see
fit to frame for that purpose. yihatever these rules may
be, there can be no doubt that in practice a great deal too
much latitude is given to the official assignees of retain-
ing large 'urns of moneys. At present the rule, or under-
standing, seems to be, that the assigns es being bound to
find surety to the amount of 6,0001. each, are prohibiteJ
from retaining more than 2,000/. at any one tine on
their private account; but if the report; be at all
correct of the amount in Abbott's hands, this rule cannot
have been att.mded to. The Commi lioness must apply
themselves to the subject, and take the necessasy means
far compelling the official assignees to comply with the
letter of the Bankrupt Act. Abbott has been dabbling
for a long time past in all kinds of schemes and specula-
tioss ; and no small amount of creditors' moneys is said to
have been sunk upon the Stock Exchange, The last
project we have heard he was connected with was a
Tte kish loan, to be secured upon the security of certain
revenues, which were to be specially assigned by the
Sublime Porte. The documents are s-id to have been all
ready, and the negotiation far advanced. Abbott roust
have been duped in this affair, if he advanced money on
it, for every body knows that the Turkish revenues are
farmed, or sold, so that their assignment, without the con-
sent of the contractors, would have been good fur nothing.

POST.—Another meeting of the Shareholders of the
British Ircn Company has been held. The threat,ened
proceedings of the Directors against defaulters in the pay-
ment of calls, drew together a numerous assemblage. The
case submitted to coucsel was read upon the occasion and
the result seemed to be most satisfactory to parties so cir-
cumstanced; the opinion given upon the point at issue,
being to the effect, that futul e calls may be resisted.
Some strong resolutions were proposed an passed urani-
mously, but which arc not to published until they shall
have been referred to the Directors. One cf them autho-
rises the filing of a bill of discovery in the Court of Chan-
cery, and for the appointment of a receiver, &c. It was
observed by a Shareholder that the Directors com-
plained that they had no reserve of funds with which
to prosecute legal proceedings, upon which some
members of the Stock Exchange put down their
names fur handsome sums, an example that was
speedily followed by many others ; and measures will, we
understand, be immediately taken in the Court named.
The Directors. it should be borne in mind, fought the
battles of the Sh holders moat ably and successfully up
to a certain time, and, although things subsequently took
an unfortunate turn, they are not less compe:ent, nor can
we suppose, from the high characters of the individuals,
that they are less indefatigable now than at any former
period. We would, therefore, strongly recommend una-
nimity of action among the parties. Many of the present
preprietcra are persons who have come into the concern
at the eleventh hour, and are what are called " shilling
Shareholders." They cannot be great losers by their in-
vestments, and when they joined the wreck, they were at
all events well aware of the critical nature of its position.

POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE
mORNIN6 JOURNALS:

- ,7 - - --- • -
Lae Morning Herold of tYs day, returning to the New
Poor-law question, obse.:ves:—" Of the new or amended Poor-
laW .A.inergialvnt Bill, the 18th clause contained some enormi-
ties of wlich it is not possible to speak in terms more mode-
re4,., and yet More expressive, than those employed by Lord
Gees-Is-11e Somerset. Of that 18th clause we will venture to
say somewhat more. We will venture, without a fear of con-
tradition, to declare it to be unequalled, in the reckless atro-
city of its propositions, by any summary jurisdiction effected
by modern tyranny."
The Morning Ohronicle says, with reference to a late publi-
cation drawn up under the direction of the Canada Company:
—" In America generally, and Upper Canada is a highly-
favoured province, every industrious labourer may soon obtain
a competence. 'I he man who in this country can never hope
to do snore than keep himself out of the workhouse, may, by
removing to Canada, by the mere exertion of his •hews and
sinews, become in a short time a substantial yeoman. The
, tale which this publication tells is calculated to carry joy into
the ccetages of these islands, where at present many strong-
armed men carry en a cheerless struegle, day af, er day, with
privations amoun'ing alrno,t to famine constantly staring them
in the face. Benevo'ent individuals s!Iould circulate the publi-
cation extensively throughout the rural districts, that well-dis-
posed, industrious men nay be enabled to profit by the body ; f
evidence presented by the Canasta Company."
The Morning Post thus refers to the proceedings in Parlia-
ment since its opening in January last:—" What good, we
ask, has the Government done in Parliament during the last
ten weeks ? What abuse has it remedied, or given hope of
remedying ? None. Four nights were consumed in debating
a certain ' rapid attempt ' of Government to remedy the ac-
knowledged abuses of the registration system in Inland, hut
in human being
rapid attempt ' would be successful. It was known from
expects. c r did at any time expect, that this
the first announcement of the attempt ' that its real design
was, not to get rid of the abuse, but to postpone or destroy the
improvement which Lord Stanley had projected. This has
been the great work of the Administration during its ten weeks
of Parliamentary labour."
The Times observes in an article on the American question:—
" If the dignity of the United States require them to make
formal inquiry about the destruction of the Caroline, why did
not the same dignity impel them to demand national satisfac-
tiers for the punishment of their patriot intruders' at. Navy
Island ? The two transactions, as far as Great Britain was
concerned, were precisely analogous. To call the Caroline
affair invasion of American territory,' in any such sense
as justly applied to the inutrsions of the Navy Island patriots,
fomenting as they did a serious rebellion in our Canadian pro-
vinces, would be absolutely preposterous. On what principle
the sovereignty of the American States was less compromis.ed
in the punishment of her citizens than in the destruction of a
steam-boat illegally and clandestinely ministering to their ma-
chinations, we ean:,ot a. all conjecture."
The Morning Advertiser, in the course of a leading article
suggested by the late election for St. Alban's, remarks as fol-
lows :—" To propose an extension of the franchise, which by
increasing the number of elect as, would impede the success of
bribery, is in Tory estimation a misprision of treason, and to
advocate the Ballot, which must at once put an end to bribery,
by making it impossible to prove the equivalent in return, is
denounced as the instigation of revolution. Yet until we have
Loth an Extension of the Suffrage and the Ballot, bribery will
prevail, and Election Committees of the House of Commons
will be -- what we dare not name."

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
(From the Globe.)
The Poor-law question brings no luck to those who use
it for oblique purposes; and if it helps to inflate the double
sheet of the Times, it ;G:oes not help its readers through it.
We are also glad to see that those who act independently
are not injured with the public, nor apparently with their
constituents. This is the case in the metropolitan bo-
roughs, where the greatest efforts have been made to
agitate the popular feeling on this much-vexed subject.
Mr. Hawes, the Member for Lambeth, has always ex-
pressed himself most decidedly, in Parliament, and at
election meetings, on the side stigmatised as unpopular,
without losing any support in that extensive suburban
constituency. Toe same might be said of Mr. Ward,
he Member for Sheffield, and many others ; and
Mr. Grote stated last night to the House, that
" whatever might be said of the unpopularity of the
New Poor-law, be could say that in the three unions which
he had the honour to represent—the three unions of the
City of London--the feeling that some time since existed
against the New Poor-law had almost abogeth_r sub-
sided." There can be no dsubt that the better-informed
classes in agricultural districts regard the new law as
having produced good moral as sell as material effects,
so far as unteaching ti e mischievous lesson of parochial
dependence to the Labourers generally. We say nothing
at present on a mere disputed point, the effect of the
bastardy clauses—except that we think a grievance has
arisen to f undies which have been injured by seduction
—a grievance for which the law of the land, if not
specially the Poor-law, should affo d a remedy. Our appre-
hensions as to the permanence of the benefits expected from
:he New Poor-law proceed from other considerations than
are usually bestowed on the subject. A poor-law can work
well or ill in a country only as the other laws, by which that
country is governed, render it prosperous or toe reverse. The
best Poor-law in a country whose prosperity is declining,
cannot possibly work well, because the pressure upon its
machinery wi.l be such a> no machinery of the kind can
support. In such a country, the fund from which wages
are paid is diminishing. Able-bodied labour throws itself
0;1 compulsory charitf. If that charity is given liberally,
Vac pressure is felt mote and more upwards. The end is a
real confiscation of property, and sacrifice of all classes to
the lowest—and gradual decry becomes precipitate ruin.
If relief is given sparingly (as it must be, in such circum-
stances), then the demagogue's harvest ripens. Double
sheets of the Times expand. Finsbury sends forth her
apostles of Liberal pine:ism. The wrongs of paupers
are made to engross the attention, due tl the public
interests.

Mysore, 161 casks Porto Rico from the Cape, 49 casks 79
bags Cuba, 1,500 bags Java, and 144 casks 3 bags Berhice.
Owing to the unsettled state of the question with regard to the

Mysore were all wi:hdrawn, Porto Rico was all taken in at 50s
for fine ord, Cuba at 69s to 71s for mid, and good ord pale 49s to

Is lid cash, and closed at the latter rate.

Rinn, BRANDY, AND HOLLA Nns.—We have again to report
a heavy market for West India Rum ; both shippers and the

former value, and the demand has been limited, only 150 hhds
&c. have been sold at Is 4d proof strength ; about 50 puns
