MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM TUE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
POST.—The British Iron Company had a special meeting
to-day for the purpo,e of considering a requisition issued by
the body, calling itself the " United Shareholders," for the im-
mediate dissolution of the concern. There was a gaeat
dciA
of angry discussion between the opposing parties. The Dircc-
ors and their friends insist d that whatever might be the ex-
pediency of ultimately breaking up the Company, the time for
, yet arrived ; the adverse interest

that if it continued to be

absorb carrieddesirable t on, ,
the remaining estate, which they think it•

• and dangerous effect which the existing Corn-laws
perroctuu„
p oduce upon the prosperity of that institution in
gene they
hold .0 deep a stake, and on whoe stability the ral wel-
fare of the country so much depends. We trust they begin to
feel the truth of the doctrine we have always maintaiced, that
the Bank of England could never be in a state of security
while her issues depend upon the weather, and while on every
occasion that there is a neces,ity to import corn from abroad, there
must be a drain upon the bullion in the Bank coffers. It
has been stated en good authority, in Parliament, that rho
forthcoming harvest would fall short une.sixth or one-eighth of
an average one ; that, too, is precisely' in accordance %vial the'
estimation which our information led us to form of the probable
yield. If it be a correct one, there roust be a drain upon the

Bank to pay for two millions of quarters of foreign corn, which,
at the rate of only 50s. a quarter (fully Bs. a quarter Wow
the last prices of prime wheat at Dantzic), will amount
to 5,000,003., and thus the last sovere:gn in the coffers of
the Bank of England will be taken off. By the
last sovereign in the coffers of the Bank, we do
nut merely mean the bull'on repo.ing to meet a
drain in the large houses in the City; but the whole stock cif
gold beonging to the institution at head-quarters, and over all
the ten branches which the Bank has established throughout
England, a all of which the notes issued are payable in gold on
demand. Such is the precarious condition in which the Bank
of England is placed at this incment by the operation of the
Corn-laws upon the currency. 'I his fact should be studied by
the merchants, traders, and manufactimers. They must pet..
ce!re that another crisis is hanging over the money market,
and that the Bank may p: obably be driven to a suspension di
specie payments.
