The public securities were in a dull, but not exactly
depressed condition. The principal sale to-day was in
Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. to the amount of
25,0001. This security receded in consequence from
97* to 97i -1 ; there was an effort by the jobbers to coun-
teract the effect of the sale, which by the bye was not
altogt ther successful, owing to the extreme and sudden
scarcity of money. .It was but on Saturday that accom-
modation was obtainable on comparatively easy terms,
and the alteration to-day is only to be ascribed to ru-
mours in circulation of an intended immediate dissolution
of Parliament. Consols for money were 90* to 891 i, and
for Account, ex-dividend, 887,- to 89. Exchequer Bills
were 8 to 6 premium, India Stock for the opening, was
at 248 without the interest, Bank Stock receded from

Thi approaching renewal of the debate in Parliament, which
131 Ly be properly termed a trial of strength between the
two great political parties that divide the House, is almost
the leading topic of conversation in the City at present,
and as it is well known that it must terminate against the Mi-
nistry, some impatience Is manifested as to its duration. It
appears to be admitted, however, that it is good generalship on
the part of Lord John Russell.
The commercial advices by the Stephen Whitney ere not by
any means what our merchants
.could desire. The dreadful
anareny that prevails among the banking institutions of America
has almost upreoted and destroyed public confidence, and the
failure of one or two states to pay the interest on their deb's,
helps to finish what the disgraceful fall of the Bank. of the
United States had left undone.

Madrid Papers of the 29th ult. have come to hand.
On the previous day the Minister of Justice brought for-
ward a Bill for the maintenance of the Clergy, which
was referred to a Committee. Tbis Bill divides Spain
and her adjacent possessions into as many dioceses as
there are civil provinces, with the exception of the.
Basques, which are to constitute only one Bishopric.
" The Archiepiscopal sees," says one of the Journals
in giving a summary of the Bill, " are eight
in number—viz., Madrid, Seville, Granada, Valencia,
Barcelona, Saragossa, Burgos, and Corunna. The salary
of the Primate is fixed at 90,000 reals, that of the seven
other Archbishops at 60,000, and of the Bishops at 50,000.
The latter are 39 in number ; the parish priests of the
Ist class 9,000, ditto of the 2d class 4,000, of the Od
class 1,500, and of the 4th 500, besides 7,000 coadjutorF.
The parishes are laid down at 15,000. The upper clergy
is to cost 12,216,000 reals per annum ; the parochial
clergy, 109,000,000 ; the seminaries, 4,000,000 ; said the
supplementary clergy, 14,200,000 in all 139,416,000
reals."

The Bill for regulating military pensions was °ca.-
pying the serious attention of the Deputies. It pro-
poses salaries to 6,676 officers, amounting to 30,862,350
reals, namely, 209 colonels, 179 lieutenant-colonels
348 commandants, 1,780 captains, 2,150 lieutenants,
1,770 sub-lieutenants, and 240 surgeons and almoners.

On the Madrid Exchange on the 28th ult. bargains to th-
amount of ten millions of reals were transacted in the Fives
at 27 for cash, 27h * h and 284 at various dates, Two
bargains in the coupons N be capitalized for two millions of
reals were done at 22h 22h for the 31st of May and the 3041
of July. On the 29th 31,600,000 reals were '.one in the Fives
at 26/ 27 26/ for cash, and 27h for 60 days.

FREE TRADE.--A great meeting was held in the Bel-
fast Theatre on Wednesday, to consider the measure::
proposed by the Government for the reduction of duties
on corn, sugar, and timber. Lord Charlemont was in
the chair. Some excellent speeches were made on the
occasion (of which we give an abridged report), and
strong resolutions were pawed in favour of all the Go-
vernment measures. The people of Ireland appear to
have an absolute horror of a Peel Administration.

-
SLAVE-GROWN PRODUCE. A writer in the
Anti-Slavery Reporter puts " the inquiry to all, whether
we should continue to suffer ourselves, however unwill-
ingly, to be a party to the great crime of slavery ; and
whether we are doing what we can in the cause of aboli-
tion, whilst we continue to be, as consumers of the pro-
duction, the great supporters of the system." It is clear
that the gentleman is not doing what he can to aid in the
cause of abolition, while he wears cotton ruses tobbacco,
or is in any way contaminated by stave-growa Raduce. He
ought to go naked, or wear woollens—taking ow MA
it is not contaminated by cochineal or indigo gathered
by slaves. If he, and such as he, will only confine theft
philanthropy to themselves, and not play the tyrant over
others, while they serve the slaves, their conduct may be
most praiseworthy. We do not object to their abstain-
ing from using slave-grown produce, but we have a hor-
ror of their interfering to make other people abstain.
THE MODESTY OF THE BREAD TAXERS is as remark-
able as their sense of justice. They tell the labourers
that for every quarter of foreign corn brought into the
country a quarter of home-grown corn will be displaced.
At the same time they say that importing foreign corn
will lower the prices one-third, and they expect to be be-
lieved when they affirm that more bread will not be eaten
when the loaf costs 4d. than when it cost nd. At the
same time they solemnly and in printed papers assure the
labourers that if the price falls from 60s. to 40s. the la-.
bourers will receive then less wages, filicy do not mean,
therefore, to abate their rents nor lessen their fithpx,
Whatever may happen they are resolved to lay'
as large a share as they now have ; and while they
Pretend to be the friends of the labourers they doom
them to how all the loss, if any, of repealing the bread
' tax. The latfttrers,.however, are already ground down
to the lowest stage of poverty, and any change in their
condition must be for OW better. They will not allow
the bread taxers to. throw ,on ;:heln the loss caused by
the repeal, as the bread taxers have (1.0.1 the advantage
of the tax.

THE WEATHER.—On Thursday foreneefi,
the 27th ult., about half-past nine o'clock, there fell at Fossey
Consols mine, and places adjacent, a tremendous shower of
rain and hail. The drops of rain were remarkably large,
and the hail, or rather lumps of ice, when measured, were found
to be two inches and a half in circumference. Had the wind
blown strong at the time the hail, no doubt, would have given
no small employment to the glaziers.— West Briton.
