EXETER.

It has been determined to hold a public meeting on
Monday (to-day), in aid cf the movement in the large
manufacturing towns, for the purpose of obtaining. the
immediate attention of Parliament to the distress which
now threatens to overwhelm the country. There is a
large number of the middle and working classes in this
city who wish to express their deep sympathy with their
suffering brethren in the north.—Western Times.

PLYMOUTH.
In the corning week a public meeting will be held in
this town, to petition her Majesty not to allow this Par-
liament to separate without taking into consideration the
suffering condition of the manufacturing interests.

FALKIRK.
Petitions against the Corn-laws from Falkirk and its
neighbourhoo, addressed to both Houses, are in course
of signature. several hundred persons have put down
their names, within these few days. The Hon. and Rev.
Baptist IsliJel's celebrated tract, " A Plea for the Poor,"
former], published at sixpence, has been re-printed by
the Edinburgh Anti-Corn-law Association, and is now
to 1-,ct had of their Secretary for a mere trifle.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM THE MORNING TAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—In remarking on the effect of the French
loan on the Paris Bourse, Le Commerce observes, that
in all probability the advance in the price of the Public
Securities, which appeared to have been occasioned by
the approaching adjudication of from 5,000,000 f. to
6,000,0001. of 3 per Cent. Rentes, will turn out to be
merely fictitious. The writer believes that the terms of
the loan are already settled at 77f. 50c., and then ob-
serves that the finance is in this singular position, that
while the Minister has purchased for the sinking fund 3
per Cent. Rentes at a rate exceeding 79f., he is about to
negotiate his loan at the price above-mentioned, and that
not to be paid much before the expiration of a year.
The terms of the notice showing that the 150,000,000 E
will not be paid up till the 7th of October, 1842,
while the subscribers are to receive interest from
the 22d of June last, the Commerce considers this
was merely a desire to raise the terms of subscrip-
tion. The • average time of paying up the subscrip-
tions being the 13th of next May, a period of nearly
eight months from the opening of the subscription,
the subsetibers will have had eight months to pay
up money, during which they are receiving 2f. interest.
Hence, if the price be, as is supposed, 77f7 50e., the de-
ducti,Jn of 2E will leave the rente to the subscribers at a
pric of 75f. 50c. It is said that the bankers with
wi.aom M. lfurnann has negotiated the present loan are
'.tic same who in 1823 took 23,114,516f.1iente at a rate of
891. 50c., when, as in the present instance, certain
periods were fixed from month to month for payments
into the Treasury, but instead of exacting a strict per--
forma,nce of these conditions, the then _Minister of Fi-
nance opened an account current, with mutual interest,
at the rate of four per cent. per annum. The bankers, it
was then found; far from anticipating their payments,
were 80,000,000 f. or 100,000,C00f. in arrear for about a
twelvemonth. As debtors on the account current they
had of course to pay their four per cent., but on the
other hand, as buyers of Five per Cent. Rentes at 89f.
55c., they were receiving sf. for this amount—that is to
say, five and a half per cent., while they were paying
only four per cent, interest. The letters from Paris
mention failures of stock speculators in consequence of
the sudden advance which has taken place in the value of
the Rentes.

POST.—Private letters from Manchester mention the
failure of a house there of some magnitude; the amount
of liabilities is not stated. They also represent that an
increased demand for goods, but without any improve-
ment in prices, existed. Great complaints are made
that no profit is realised ; but after the system that has
been so long pursued, namely, that of manufacturing,
not only without orders, but without the probability of
rending a legitimate outlet, and this, too, fostered, AS it
has been, by the pernicious plan of affording almost un-
limited credit, any demand which will reduce the present
heavy stocks must be looked upon as a godsend. This
improvement manifests also that English productions
are not, as some parties are endeavouring to show, losing
ground in foreign countries. This is not the department
which ought to be devoted to politics ; but it is quite
"lear that if the demand above alluded to arise from the
importation of corn, bullion will not be required to pay
for it, and if not, the Corn-laws have but little conc,.wn
in the question as to whether other countries will supply
their wants by taking our manufactures.
CHRONICLE.—This being a strict holiday with the
gentlemen of the Hebrew persuasion, business has been
extremely stagnant on the Sock Exchange, where
scarcely any buniness of moment was transacted through-
out the day. The great object of attention is the fund-
ing of the 5,000,0001. of Exchequer Bills. It is said that
the Bank Directors are prepared to take up any deficit
that may exist in the amount required to be subscribed
for, and we have no doubt that such is the fact ; for we
stated, some weeks since, that the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer and the Bank Parlour had come to an under-
standing. But the " funding" of Exchequer Bills is
merely a secondary consideration.
The offer of one•half money, instead of Exche-
quer Bills, is now admitted to have been the " ori-
ginal object of the measure" on the part of the
Treasury-. If this part of the scheme should fail, the
Right Honour4ble Financier will gain but little by his
motion, and if he should succeed in it, then we have an
immediate addition of 5,000.0001. to the funded debt.
If he do not, and it should all be subscribed in Exchequer
Bills, we have that addition just the same to the funded
debt, and must soon have a re-issue of Exchequer Bills.
The Bank will, no doubt, give advances, if required ;
but how long the Directors will be able to avoid ap-
pearing in that case, as sellers on the Money Market, is
a question which we leave them to answer. 'With the
near approach of the dividends, and the late heavy in-
crease in their liabilities, they ought to look well to their
true position before adding in that way to their circu-
lation.

Consols for the Account were quoted a shade lower
just previous to the termination of business, the quota-
tion being 89k, sellers, and 89+ to t Money. New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 981 to 1. Exchequer
Bills declined Is., being quoted at I4s. to 16s. prem.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 25.—The Kin? and Queen
arrived at the Palace of Lacken at half-past seven o'clock
yesterday evening. The young Prince and Princess
have also returned to the Palace of Lacken. The fetes
of September proceed in the most satisfactory manner.
The entertainment given to the musical societies was ex-
tremely splendid: The gardens of the Vauxhall were
crowded, not less than 9,000 persons being present. The
illuminations were extremely brilliant and tasteful ; the
great number of elegantly dressed ladies greatly contri-
buted to the enchantment of this fairy scene. The wea-
ther was remarkably fine, and favoured to the end this
fete chumpetre, which concluded with very fine fireworks.
To-day (the 25th) being the third day of the fetec.,' pro
mises to be still more animated.

ADELAIDE KENIBLE AT FRANKFORT.--
At Frankfort, I came in for a performance in which all
Londoners may take interest—the Norma' of Miss Adelaide
Kemble. Though she gave this under every possible disad-
vantage of fellow-singers—the steady German chorus always
excepted—and though I heard her with a previous disposition
to expect what was good from this last of her family, I must
confess my expectations were exceeded. It is a great perfor-
mance : passionate, highly finished, and original. I have seen
nothing like it from an English vocalist: very little from any
English actor or actress, however well accustomed ; and I only
hold my pen from an attempt at analyzing its peculiarities,
that you may not think me indiscriminate in panegyric--and
because you will s'on have an opporttinity of doing it for your-
self. Her reception was tumultuous, as it well deserved to be,
in a land which, whatever other good things it produces, does
not assuredly grow I—Atheneum. •
