Bill " is a Bill for the return of Toryism to power, and
therefore, a Bill to let loose the hell-hounds of Orange
domination upon Ireland once more."
In the same journal a call is made on the Irish Mem-
bers to " rally round the Government on the Chinese
question." They " must not be so tremblingly alive to
doubtful questions of abstract right abroad, as to cause
them to make a pretence of them to betray their country
at home. Whoerer deserts his standard ant

MONEY MARKET. and CITY NEWS

(TUESDAY EVENING.)

TIME S.—By the advices from hamburg the price of gold
is 4301 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 101 1. the ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 13.74, and the exchange at Hamburg on Lon-
don at short being at 13.64, it follows that gold is 0.47
per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in London.
The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mille, which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 324., and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows
that gold is 0.10 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London is
1081 s per et nt., and the par of exchange between Eng-
land and America being 109 23-40 per cent:, it follows
that the exchange is 1 07 per cent. against England.
The Consol-market is not quite so firm as yesterday*
but the price, remain about the same. The money price
has been 901 to 1 all day, without variation. The quo-
tation for UR; Account has been 91, sometimes buyers and
sometimes sellers, but leaving off the latter. Money has
b::en a little in demand, and worth 5 or 6 per cent. for
short pciieth ; however, as the dividends are payable to-
morrow at the Bank, it is expected to be as easy as before.
Exchequer hills fully maintain their prices, and are quoted
at 225, to 247._ premium.

The demand for Great Western Shares has increased
since the cpcning of the line to Reading. To-day there
has been a considerable rise, and Great Westein are
quoted at i to 8 premium. Birmingham maintain their
prices of 67 to 69 premium, and the share market is ge-
nerally brisk.

By the usual official return published by the Customs
the exporlation of the precious metals horn the port of
London to foreign and Colonial ports for the week end-
ing the 2d of April is as under :

The amouat of business done to-day in the foreign ex-
changes was not large, and the prices generally remained
the same. There was some American paper in Paris,
though not to so great an extent as had been expected, but
apparently quite equal to tha demand.

SUN.—The Tea Market, which was very brisk in

the early part of the day did not clese' quite so firmly
this afternoon ; but there was no disposition to sell at
lower prices.
In the rates for Continental Bills of Exchange we
are glad to notice a slight amelioration ; three months
Paper on Paris having been negotiated at 25f. 52Ac. to
551. ;on Ilamburght: at 13 9to ; and on Amster-
dam. at short, 12 1:},
The Funds closet firmly, but not quite so high as in
the morning. Consols, for Money, 90;1-, buyers, and
for the Account at 91 ; the New Three and a Hall
per Cents. at 99a, and Bank Stock at 175 ex-dividend.
A further advance will probably occur when the divi-
dends have been paid.
After the . middle of the day a few purchasers in
Spanish Bonds advanced the price to 2SI ; but, with
the exception of Mexican Bonds, which receded to
728-il, there was not the slightest alteration in any of the
otber bonds.

The Share Market was not brisk this afternoon, but
prices were very well supported. The London and
Birmingham obtained 70, the Manchester and Leeds
15, and the Great Western 7} premium.

Surely, however, after having submitted implicitly to the
laws of the country in every particular, seeking rather to
conciliate by forbearance, than' to exact by intin,i•la-
tion, and peaceably endurieg offensive conduct which,
as between European S:ates, would be the scurce
of immediate war, she has an unquestionable right to resist
unlawful violence, to check unbridled insolence, and to
punish aggressions committed in reckless defiance of those
principles of mutual courtesy and fair dealing, which
civilized nations have established for the conduct and eon-
trol of their intercourse with each other. The complaint
against the Chinese Government, then, is not that it has
interfered to prevent the smuggling of a particular article,
but that in doing so it has exceeded the limits of its just
and legitimate authority, so far as to commit a gross out-
rage on the per- sons and property of British subjects,
and a wanton and flagr.,nt insult to h. r Majesty the Queen.

DEATII OF LA PETITE DUCROW.-our
readers will remember a very interesting little girl who was in
the habit of riding in the ring at the Amphitheatre this year,
while under the management of Mr. Ducrow. The deceased
was Mr. Ducrow 's niece, and on account of her agility, a great
favourite with him. It appears that al»ut the ratter part of
January, she was sitting near the fire after the termination of
the performance, and exhausted with her exertions, fell asleep.
A spark or a cinder caught her clothes, and she was imme-
diately in flames. The wife of a member of the company came
in at the instant, threw her down, extinguished the flames, and
sent for Mr. Jeffery, the surgeon. The injures were,
ever, so great, that she died in the beginning of
the,
week, when an inquest was held on the body, and a iil n
verdict of
Accidental Death" returned. When Mr. Ducrow closed
the Amphitheatre she was too ill to be removed, and, to his
great r%ret, he eras co,mvellecl to leave her behind.-Liverpool
