MONEY 3IARKET and CITY NEWS

(THURSDAY EVENING.) • .• ; •
TlMES.—Little transpires in the City relative to the pro-
ceedings of the Select Committee of the House of Commons
on banking affairs, but that little is not calculated to lessen the
distrust in it which has prevailed from the commencement, on
account of the imperfect manner in which the particular in-
terests involved in the inquiry are represented in that Com-
mittee. There is said to be a sufficiently numerous attendance
of Members, perhaps too much so for the orderly despatch of
business, but that there is a want of good arrangement in the
questions put, some confusion in putting them, and not uncom-
monly five or six questions put at once. In answering them,
consequently, the party may take his choice of that ques-
tion which he thinks he can answer best. Under such a
mode of proceeding it is to be feared that no great practical
good can be effected by any Committee, but we are inclined to
believe that the evidence from Manchester, that of Mr.
Smith and Mr. Cobden, which has been selected to begin with,
will be such as to make a great impression on the whole coun-
try against the present system: They have a great advantage
in representing and in speaking the sentiments of the large
manufacturing district in which they rOlde, the weight of which
is now for the first time brought to bear on this question. These
gentlemen, too, are more independent than any evidence to be
obtained in. London can be, for there is no fact which the
public ought to keep more constantly in mind in judging
of the merits of this investigation than this, that there
is hardly a man to be found in the metropolis who
may be said to be absolutely beysnd the influence of
the Bank of England, who has either not been under direct ob-
ligations to them, or who does not fear that circumstances may
olace him under the necessity of asking for their assistance
hereafter, and who does not know at the same time that there
would belittle scrupplc at the Board to which the request was
conveyed in inflicting a punishment privately for any damage
done to them in their corporate capacity. This is a frightful
state of things, and the Directors without doubt will indignantly
spurn from them any such imputation; but it is and will be
nevertheless as much credited as before ; and were the truth
otherwise, the very belief of such a fact is enough to cramp
and restrain all such evidence, and to render it, for the pur-
poses of the present inquiry, worse than useless.
If the Committee, who have the attention of the whole t rad-
in.. interest directed towards them, are really desirous to do
their duty, these considerations will make an impression even
upon them, and induce them to fix upon persons to give evi-
dence befare them who are not only well acquainted with the
subject, but perfectly free from all improper bias, whether o
fear or of joint interest.

Money has been very easy in the English market, and indeed
all over the Stock Exchange, being worth not above 2 or 3 per
cent. on English stock. The 14th drawing so near, there is no
longer any difference between the Consol quotations for money
and this account. Consols left off at 91 to A, and at 91i to
for the May account. Exchequer bills are at 245. to 265.
premium. _

A number of orders from Liverpool for purchases have con-
siderably raised the price of Birmingham shares, which are at
59 to 71 prem'um. Great Western maintain their price of 7
;o 8 premium, and 2i to for the half shares.

SUN.—Accounts from Guiana received to-day mention
as a proof of the high wages given in that colony, that
a body of labourers had raised 10,000 dillars. and pttr•
chased an estate which they intended to cultivate oil
their own accounts. This sum must have been amassed
since their emancipation.
In the Jamaica papers, we regret to notice the fact
of sixteen desertions from vessels in her Majesty's navy,
staving at Port Royal.
We have news by the Petrel packet-ship from Rio
de Janiero of the 10th February. The Exchange on
London was as low as 31d. and the Stocks of European
goods were heavy. The day before the Petrel sailed
from Rio, there were burnt, in accordance with the
law of amortisation, public securities to the amount of
531,996,000 rs. which made the sum total redeemed
during the last two years, 3,065,351,000 rs. Nothing
new has been received fromßuenosAyres or Rio Grande.
There was a purchase of 40,000/. to 50000/. Con
sols to-day which caused prices to close firmly at
91i for money, and 91ii A for the next account.
India Stock was at 2491 this afternoon.
There was very little done in the Foreign Market
after the early part of the day. Spanish Active Stock
closed at 2.8 i ; Portuguese New Five per Cents., at
85 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 54. The

showing a British sailor, whose cradle and m
been the ocean, under the peculiar circumstancecisition in which
A which maybe
imposed to result from the new and extraordinary p
he is placed by his proving the rightful heir to an honourable
titleand a vast estate. These circumstances are, for the c't
,r
part humorous, odd, extravagant, and ridiculous, though nionve
for an instant passing the line which divides them from nature and
probability. But many of the circumstances are of a serious nature,
aud lead to scenes that include as deep pathos, as lofty sentiment,
awl as strong and refined delineation of character as anything in
contlmporary writing. Sketches of real naval characters appear to
be introduced into .he work, particularly one of Lord Gambroon,
and the capital sketch of Capt. Firebrass, Commander of the Glory,
is 'so doubt drawn from the life. In conclusion we have no hesita-
tion in pronouncing "Jack Ashore" to be the most talented and
suceeesiul of the author's works.—Naval and Military Gazette.
