MONEY MARKET and CITY NEW S

(WEDNESDAY EVENING.)
CHRONICLE.—We have received the subjoined
Inmunication from Manchester, which we insert, al-
:.;ugh we consider it to be in some parts very strongly
.cured

" TO TNR EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.
Sir,—Connecting the observations in one of your
city articles on the restrictions of the Bank, that is,
to force down prices,' with the preposition to allow of en
issue of part of the Belgian loan in the English Money
Market, I aso led, as a sufferer by present measures, to
protest with indignant feelings against the proceedings of
our monied men. It appears that they are not satisfied
with extorting exorbitant interest—the miserable and sad
proceedings incident to a late legislative measure, and now
brought into full operation, principally in consequence of
our accursed Corn-laws—but they must needs try a fur-
ther experiment upon how much the manufacturing inte-
rest will yet be patiently mulct of their already greatly re-
duced working capital; I suppose just on the principle of
the cook's conduct to the eels in the frying-pan, Down,
down, ye wantons.' The present aspect of monetary af-
fairs is much less the object of remark in the daily press'
Ilan its importance requires. Let public opinion be eli-
cited, and I doubt not that a remedy would ensue.
" The funds are 89. Manufactured productions, not-
withstanding the low price of the raw material, much,
esry much below Zero.' Whence this anomaly? It is
easily explained. During the last three or four years
provisions have been sold at very high prices, and, as a
consequence, the large farmers and the landlords have
withdrawn from the manufacturing community immense
sunis of capital, whilst the manufacturers have had no pro.
its, but losses on the average. Her.ce, now, the former
classes have money in abundance to invest in railways and
-ands, foreign as well as English, whilst the latter have
sust next to nothing with which to hold their stocks of
goods. The Bank of England raises its discounts, the va-
lue of money rises also on the Continent, the English Funds
scarce feel the pressure ; but the manufacturers are at
thee. wits' end, insulted, degraded, without rallying point,
in fact almost ruined. The present policy presses most
upon those who have least strength to bear the pres-
sure. But it may be replied, Why do not the manu-
liieturers do less?' Simply, because, if they did less,
their losses would be still greater. This apparent pare-
doe admits easily of proof, but I cannot now enter into the
luestion. Without a change for the better, and that soon,
a total stoppage will ensue, and then the moneyed eassses,
in common with every ether, will have sufficient cause
c.eeply to deplore that dirs eilamity. The gentlemen of
the stock Lxchatige hold plenty of foreign funds. Hu.e
they not patriotism to use them for the common weal ?
Lot them hear in mind that when the manufacturers are
ruined, their goose vsi'l be dead.

Your obedient servant.
A MAN UFACTURER,

Manchester, Nov 24, 1840."

C 3 r correspoac;cot is right enough in statinz that the
rn2nr.v.acturers have been receiving low prices for their
v_.cls, while the farmers and landlords have b.:eit pro-
fiting at their expense. Hs is also necessarily right in
:.!yiag that the money pressure is most felt by these who
are weakest. But ho dces not touch upon the extent to
wiveh its is increased by over speculation, anti over
accommodation by the banks when money has been easy.
I, is not the actual dearness of money that p-oduces tbe
evil to the manufacturing interests s.) much as its unsteadi-
110;3..Jt.the frequent chhuge from a low value to a
that causes the mischief. If our money power
w,uld keel at a steady uniform value, avoiding extremes
.ttherayo,lid preventing sudden contractions and ex.
tra,Ae would be more healthy and industry better
We are at a loss to follow the meaning of our cor.
reference to foreign funds, and the patriotism

S P.titiT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF rilfg ;DAY.
( From the eilorning Cl/4ronicle.)
There is a set of mischievous zealots who the moment
the:. the Church is extricated trona one serene have* con-
trived to entangle ber in another. John Thorogocd, of
'Thelmsforl, being liberated, Mr. Baines, of LPieester;, is
forthwith iAcarcerated. The continuity of Chucti.rale
persecution 'is thus preserved unbroken ; arid unbroken ~% e
believe it will now remain until the Church-rate itself be
abolished. Neither the indiacretien of exaction on the one
aide, nor the firmness of resistance on the other, is likely
to he wanting. In both there it a species of contagion.
This trumpery, little, sordid persecution, is really a tning
fbr even bigetry to be ashamed of. When such a body as the
P.stablisheci Church persecutes, it outtht to persecute with
some degree of dignity. The blunder is egregious, of
being made at once contemptible and hateful. A Church
that boasts of its martyrs ought not to make martyre. It
appears, indeed, that this species of glorying is fading
away before the advances of the Popish Protestantism of
Oxtord. Dr. Miller, in the able " Letter to Dr. Piney,"
which we recently noticed, asks, in a tone of reproach,
" Have you no commendation to bestow on those illus-
trious martyrs who perished in the flame of persecution,
that they might lipbt up in England the flame of genuine
religion, one of them at the time expressing his pious con-
tideuce that it should never be extinguished?" Yet even
ii the pupils in our Universities arc to be taught veneration
"or Queen Mary, of Smithfield memory, as a saint un.
stained by " the crimes of the Reformation," it might he
remembered that Queen Mary persecuted for the sake of
something much more important than a parish rate. She
diLd dungeons to save souls, and net simply to save pence.
There was no pettiness in the moral blunder.
cFrorn the Morning Post.)
We are gratified to perceive the turn which Irish en-
thusiasm is taking towards the preference for articles of
Irish manufacture. This is a spirit of sacrifice for the at-
tainment of a good practical object. To those who have
mosey to buy whatever seems to them cheapest and best it
. must be at least a temporary sacrifice to buy Irish manu-
factures, for thoee of England are cheaper and of a finer
quality. But if this temporary sacrifice should prove the
means of establishing manufactures more generally in Ire-
land, and of giving employment to that part of the labouring
population, which cannot how find employment during a con-
siderable portion of the year, it will be a sacrifice well re-
peid by the result. What we fear in the matter is this_
that the Irish manufacturers will trust too much to the po.
litical feeling now raised in their favour—that they will
calculate upon its continuance, or act as if they did.
If they do so, the result will be disappointment. All that
can be expected is a temporary sentiment in their favour,
which may suffice to set them fairly agoing. For continu-
vice of business they must depend upon the goodness and
reasonable rice of the articles they produce, and upon the
punctuality and exactness with which the order: they re-
cpive are exemited. A spirit of patriotism may be for
so ne time a sufficient inducement to Irish consumers to
employ native industry to their own inconvenience in some
degree, but selfishness will certainly prevail in the end;
*----,- -cm).-v. .6.• lilsh manufacturers learn to supply
r:at the Irish consumers like on as good terms as the
r2nglish manufacturers supply them, their customers will
_ eventually drop off, and Irish manufacturing industry will
gain fall into decay. In the meantime, however, we
flellaud the effort which the Irish arc making to give
.eriployment to titeir own people.

stronghold of Ibrahim Pacha—which stronghold was St.
Jean d'A c,c—could not be reduced by any force which
the Four Powers could bring to bear against it, for at least
eighteen months. The groundlessness of his conviction,
the error of his opinion hast' been proclaimed to the world
in Ira that number of weeks. The French, it is to be
hoped, have been taught a salutary lesson by the recent
events in Syria.

(From the Tames.)
No man in England speaks of European war but as a
curse to be deprecated—as a visitation to be dreaded and
detested. No man in England even whispers to himself
of war, that it is anything but a ruin to industry, a devourer
of resources, a waster of energy, a foe to liberty, the plague
and degradation of humanity. With us it is never talked
of as a " field of glory," albeit of victory we have had our
share. With us war is never desired nor glanced at for the
sake of military or naval ascendancy over neighbouring
States.

Our first and last notion of war in tho abstract is

of its calamitous consequences to ourselves, because of the
barrier it interposes between us and the progress of our pros-
perity, because of the violence it offers to our amicable
and beneficial ties with foreign nations. War, as a choice,
no sane Englishman is ever known to dream of. No con-
quest for the sake of conquest, or of enlarging the limits
of our European empire, has during the last century been
attempted or meditated by Great Britain. The opening
of some fresh channel of commercial intercourse—the mu-

tual supply of wants with some community heretofore un-
acquainted with Great Britain—such arc the only objects
of British enterprise, and they entail no injury nor cost a
drop of blood. Hence it is that nothing in the nature of
a war policy is feared at the hands of England by the
other European Governments.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
(From the Globe.)
St. Jean d'Acre, so celebrated for the repulse of Na-
poleon, and the gallant achievements of Sir Sydney
Smith, was the first stage of Ibrahim in that series of
successes which terminated in the battle of Koniah, and
rendered him master of Syria, Arabia, &c, and is now
.ho last stage in that series of reverses which has strip-
ped the Pacha of Egypt of his adventurous acquisitions.
Tne siege of St. Jean d'Acre by Ibrahim, in 1831-2,
W:l4 exceedingly protracted, owing to the bravery of
the Turkish garrison, as well as the unskilfulness of
the Egyptian besiegers. Th.: apathy of the Govern-
ment at Constantinople was solely to blame for the
uitimate reduction, and for the events which followed.
" If the Grand Signor," says M. de Lamartine
(" Voyage en Orient"), " when vainly solicited by
Abdallah, the Pacha of Acre (whose overthrow
wrls sou lit by Mehemet Ali, on account of some in-
gratitude for his former protection), had sent him a
timidly reinforcement of a few thousand men, or even
sent to the Syrian seas two or three of those fine frigates
which sleep uselessly on their anchorage before the

caiqucs of the Bosplorous, Ibrahim would have been
done for [e'en emit fait d'lbrakinz], he would have
raurncti into Egypt w-th the conviction of the hope-
cr.cc of his wrath ; but the Porte was faithful to its
system of fatalism, and permitted the ruin of its Pacha
to be accomplished. Tice bulwark of Syria was thrown
(I.:Iwo, and the Divan only awoke too late. However,
Mehemet Ali had written to his Genera! to return ;

but the latter, a man of courage and adventurous spirit,
resolved to try to the utmost the weakness of the Sultan
And the force of his own destiny." It is true that,
'unto the siege, a Turkish army marched to relieve
= garrison, and Ibrahim drew off the main body of
troops from before the place, and marched to meet
netny, which retreated, and left him to continue
The spirited defence, however, of a garri-
ri of three thousand men, unsupported from without,
,ainst the laud and naval forces of Egypt, sufficiently
ows (and receut•events have splundidiy confirmed the
ion) that the Turks have needed nothing but to
well officered, and to .Conti to in their leaders, to
a very different figure in the 11,..1d than they did
t Koniall or N,zib, and to dissipate at once the pres-
ig:; of tho conquests of Mehemet Ai.

It may be hoped, that, however the idea of

Geizot is too shrewd a man to run the chance of ex-
posing himself to the disgrace and ridicule which at-
t.iched to Lord Palmerston's untoward and lamentable
meddling with the affairs of Spain. Toe papers are
still much occupied with the insinuations against. M.

Pre3Se, that ;ournal would have it. believed that some of
the documents respecting the Eastern question have been
surreptitiously sateen away from the Foreign-office, so
that M. Gulzot ie left in the dark upon several essential
points. One document is particularly mentioned, con--
if:sting of the instructions given by M. Thiers to M.
Perier, who was sent on a special mission to Alexandria
and Constantinople. It is hinted that in this document
M. Perim- was instructed to arrange the ditF2rences be-
tween the Sultan and the Pacha, in violation of the
'Treaty of 1857. The Constitutionnel undertakes the
eefeece of M. Thiers against these insinuations. It
would seem that the ex-Minister intends to rely for his
exculpation upon the distinction between private letters
end official instructions. The Constitutionnel is parti-
cularly bitter against the Messager, because, it says, as
teilee paper is,a Government organ, it considers the at-
tacks against M. Thiers as emanating from the Ministry.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE IRISH
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION BILL.—We have been ho-
noured by the Duke of Wellington with a letter, re-
ferring to some remarks which appeared in this Journal
udon the passing of the Irish Municipal Corporation

illustrious writer that we should publish his letter at
; but we can have no doubt that he desires to
cieerect e misrepresentation of which we have been un-
ceeiscionsly guilty, and we therefore do not scruple to
pe ,at the following extract :—" In the paper of which
yi.o are the Editor, it is stated positively, It is well
kveown that the Duke of Wellington had professed
hi unseif to have been deceived throughout the whole
all 'air; If this is well known it must be known
to somebody who can be named. I request you
afore, to name the person or persons who ever
lice me profess or say that I had been deceived
by anybody at all. I am convinced that you will
sit that there is nothing unreasonable in asking
t,3 name of one individual who ever heard
the,: which is said to be well known." After
re.:. lit .g the foregoing we are bound to ;believe,
ela we do with a perfect faith, that the illustrious
Du k .e never make the profession ascribed to him, or
any
.pr elession like it ; but with all the grateful vene-
ratio; a for his Grace's character, which we entertain
in co lemon with the whole nation, with indeed all
goed men of the whole civilised world, we must
-! his demand of names. At whatever risk to
ourset ves, we must adhere to our rule, never to
publisl the names of ,friends who honour us with
inforati ,tion before they give us authority to do so. That
the pea ession ascribed to his Grace was reported of him
by mon than one nobleman, we must most respectfully
repeat ; that it was generally believed is plain from a re-
cent 00.21 roversy in which the Morning Herald was en-
gaged i;,jt Mr. Shaw, and in which, though Mr. Shaw ac-
quittc d hit iself of being the actual decewer, the deception
seenieo be taken for granted. It would offer great
violence_ t the feeling which we entertain towards
the Duke of Wellington to explain the reasons which
made us ready and anxious to believe that, in the
part acte( 1 by ,his Grace upon the Irish Municipal
Bill, he e cted uedee an erroneous impression of the
facts of th e case. We do not wish to conceal our opi-
nion that some of the noblemen, who reported, appa-
rently, wit h little reserve, and always with a friendly
purpose tt ,wards his Grace, the profession ascribed
to tile Di Ike, ought to givl an explanation of that
which the, have reported ; but this, we humbly sub-
mit, is a• matter for their discretion, not for ours.
There 1145 questionless been some misunderstanding in
the case hick can be cleared up satisfactorily only
by those eec quainted with all the particulars. The Duke
has by hi 3 demand (as it must be understood),
distinct( y c ontradicted what the noblemen in ques-
tion has e r eported of hits. They owe it to their cha-
racter venecity to explain the grounds of their
misappr e, hens ion. We must however repeat it, that to
furnish n aim ,s in well a case, would not become us.
Newsp ape, ar n, as we have reason to know,
already • lid 3 in sufficien t contempt and sufficiently dis-
:iked pa I),!ic men in high station, without our adding to
tic e inot.;ivos of such contemrt and dislike by taking upon
it the char acter of make-ba.fes. We believe that we
1- et consul t the honour and interests of the. Press
~Le Lei-Len:ha e the suspicion of buying written rashly,
"; ifee/iy, rather than render our Jour-
xe,tian. ii strument of destroying eehfidehhe, or
-e ill. -will among friends. Rash or false
statements, admit of an easy remedy, such as this
e.tee=hope offers, but the evils of mischief-
are, , 'rrernediable. This has been our governing
Prwe'l'xtt t '71.11 11 the firet ; we base never allowed an
d V i i correcting an error into which we have
aen ; hue v -y have never compromised a friend, and
tl.O refer wa.'
