MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS,

(MONDAY EynNiNDO
HERALD. —The dcfßittitiOn In the ravenue, as Shown by
the official returns Which have been published tc.day, has
been se fully anticipated by practical men and those whose
interest it is to watch the progres of the country's income
and expenditure§ that it has had no effect whatever upon
the value of Our British securities; indeed, it would seem as
though the monetary power of England had almost ren-
dered the public securities and money credit of the country
completely " scathe free" from the evil doings of thoso
who preside for the present over the destinies of this
country,

The Legislature does not control public opinion,
but public opinion influences and controls the Legis-
lature. Accordingly the power of any single individual
is commensurate to his talents, not to his votes.
As the ruling power, public opinion has only lately
become manifest, while the notion that the law and
the Legislature govern the nation is of old forma-
tion ; it is not surprising, therefore, that the
working classes should adhere to the old notion,
and seize the instrument they seek by the wrong
end ; it is nevertheless lamentable, when they are
actually in possession of it, when they could in-
stantly use it to beat down the iniquitous Corn-
laws, to see them ignorant of the fact, and blindly
use their power to injure themselves.
" The hour." says the Quarterly Review, just pub-
lished, " has at length arrived, at which the humblest
individual in our community is enabled to say to those,
whoever they may be, who are seen to wield authority
wickedly--

Great disappointment has prevailed here to-day amongst
ail parties connected with our East Indian possessions at
the non-arrival of the overland mail ; and increasing
anxiety prevails for the arrival of the Liverpool from New
York. By the Leonora, which has arrived at Havre, hav-
ing sailed from Hampton Roads, Richmond, Virginia,
U. S., on the 10th ult., it appears that the President's
Speech had not reached any of the sea-board towns of that
portion of the United States on the Bth ult.
Money has been rather more in demand upon the Eng-
lish Stock Exchange to-day, and there appears to be a
growing inclination on the part of capitalists to make in-
vestments in Consols and other securities that c m be ren-
dered easily available ; indeed so serious is the real state of
the industrial power of this community, which has become
comparatively torpid in the midst of wealth, that it cannot
well be wondered at that capital should be temporarily
withdrawn from commercial employment.

PO ST.—The English Funds were nearly stationary all
day, with little doing. Consols left off at 92i to for the
Opening, and Exchequer Bills at Is. to 3s, prem.
The operations in the Foreign Funds were mere
important‘ than usual, the principal dealings being,
in the Peninsular Securities. The Five per Cent.
Portuguese Bonds left off at an improvement of
and the Threes at that of about I per cent. on Satur-
day's closing prices. This advance is owing to the
expectation held out to the holders by the new Ministers of
Donna Maria that something will, after all, be done for
their relief—that they will, in fact, be put upon something
like a footing of equality with the home creditor. flow
.
this may turn out it is difficult to surmise.

Si vous m'opprime€, at vos grandcurs dedaignent.
Les pleurs des inneccns, que vous faites couler,
Mon vengeur est au ciel ; apprenez a tretni,ler."

So the working men could now, if they pleased,
by a union with the Corn-law repeaters, soon teach
the Corn-law-making landlords that they could be
their own avenger, and make the landlords repeal
the iniquitous Corn-laws. They, however, have a
notion that the repeal of the Corn-laws would
benefit their masters ; and such is Low, we deeply
regret to say, the hostile feeling of many of the
working classes, that they spite themselves to pre-
vent the masters reaping a benefit.
We admit that the masters seek for the repeal
only to benefit themselves ; but it would also benefit
the working classes, and therefore they ought to
demand it. By the repeal their position to their
masters would be changed. The supply of food
would be enlarged, and the masters would seek
workmen instead of workmen seeking employment
They would then be better able to defend them-
selves against the power of the masters, which they
dread, than now. Moreover, if they should then
require assistance against their masters, the de-
feated landlords, envious of the trade lords, would
assist them in obtaining protection and justice.
Their true policy, therefore, is first to aid the mas-
ters in obtaining a repeal of the Corn-laws, and
then, if necessary, unite with the landlords to se-
cure protection for their own interests against their
masters.

Great Western Railway Shares were quoted 2 dis. to
par ; London and Brighton to 11 dis. ; London and
Blackwell to I die. ;. London and Croydon 4to 3i
did. ; St. John del Rey Mine 5 to i; and United Mexi-
can 2i to per share.
The committee of Spanish American bondholders had
another interview with the New Granada Commissioner,
Senor Mosquera, on Saturday, on the subject of the pro-
posed compromise of the proportion of the Colombian
debt applicable to that State; but it resulted in nothing
more satisfactory.
Much disappointment was again evinced this morning at
the continued absence of the Liverpool steamer from New
York, now so many days overdue. Several of the New
York sailing packets are almost equally out of time.

SUN.—Nothing has been heard in the City up to
this hour of either the Liverpool steamer from Ame-
rica, or the overland mail from India.

The tea sales were heavy up to the close. Of
14,000 packages offered only 4,000 were sold, Twankays
being 4d. and Congous 3d. per lb. lower than at the
December sales.

The Stock Market closed very firmly : Consolg with
the dividend at 92} -5., and ex-dividend at 90- to 91 ;
Exchequer Bills brought 3s. to Is. premium, and the
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 99 ex-div.
Spanish Bonds rather recovered the depression of the
morning, leaving off at 24i „I, and Portuguese New
Five per Cents. improved to 351 36. Mexican rose
also after the middle of the day to 301 and Brazil
Stock dropped to 71k.
There was a general upward movement in all the
Shares. The Great Western rose to par, the new
shares to 1 discount ; the Brighton to 11 discount ; the
Birmingham to 59 60 premium, the quarter shares to
IN premium ; the Midland Counties to 20 discount,
mid the New North Midland to 3i premium. London
Joint-Stock Bank Shares rallied to 21 premium.

Our opinion is, however, that they would not
need assistance. At present the master, who comes
immediately into contact with them, is driven by
the Corn-laws to be their oppressor. That makes
him an object of hatred. Like the farmer, he is
an instrument, though he is an unwilling instru-
ment, for levying the Corn-tax on the people. He is
continually driven by its pressure on himself, to press
it out of his workmen ; and if there were no Corn-
law the master, getting a fair profit, would have no
excuse for being a screw. Without his men he
cannot live ; his well-being is bound up with
theirs, as the present circumstances of both dis-
tinctly prove ; and we, therefore, believe that the
workmen would not need, were the Corn-law
abolished, to seek help from landlords against their
masters. It is the cursed bread tax which, amongst
its many other mischievous effects, nurtures the seeds
of strife betwixt classes who are as essential to the
well-being and perfection of each other as are the
piston ana.the cylinder to the'working of a steam-
engine.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL N VMS.

CITY, TirELra O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JAN. 6.—The market
tf-day assumed a very healthy appearance. The sales
amounted to 7,000 bags at steady prices to the trade.
Arrivals this morning—French mail. No ship letters.
We have again a very black morning in respect to ar-
rivals. The only one at present is the tumid French mail,
The public"and merchants continue astonished at the
n )n-artivals from the United States, winch causes great
inconvenience, particularly to those who expect remit-
tutees from that quarter. The wind having shifted to the
n )rth-east, in all probability we stay expect the President's
Speech from France or from Ireland. The overland-
express froin India is also overdne, which is anxiously
looked for; 'particularly by the speculators in Tea, es it is
some time since we have had :ntelligcace from China.
Consols opened this morning at the Teaving off quota-
tions of yesterday, 91. k for the Account; Morley,
91 ev-dividend. Exchequer Bills, 1 3 prem. ; India
Bonds, 4 2 dis. ' - Bank Stock, 1771 1781 ; India Stock,
256 257 for the Opening.
In the Foreign Market Spanish closed at 24 are
now 241 25 ; Portugueie left off 36i, improved to 36} 37,
owing to the anticipated speech of the Queen of Portugal
at the opening of the Cortes, which is expected to be fa-
vourable to the bondholders. Colombian, 24i 211; Mexi-
can, 301 also improved; Btazilian, 72ilr ; Dutch
Two-and-a Half per Cents, 52+ f; Five per Cents, 99k.
There was a numerous attendance yesterday at the
Tea Sales, but owing to no intelligence having been re-
ceived from China, the bidding. were exceedingly languid.

_ . .
The Paris Journals of Thursday, together with
Madrid Papers of the 29th, have been received.
The safe arrival of the Count de SEIRCY and his
suite at 1 rebisond, is confirmed. His Excellency
was met by a Persian officer of distinction sent to
conduct him on his journey to Teheran. The English
influence in Persia was said to be completely re-
stored. From Madrid the only important news is
the expected dissolution of the Cabinet, E3PA ft-
TERO having declared against obeying the orders of
the War Minister General NARVAEZ. It was
supposed that VIM. NA RVA EZ, CALDERON,
CA LLA NIES, and San MILLI% N, would either quit
or be kicked out of the Cabinet together.

" After an eight days' s:ege the troops under Gen.
Aspiroz have succeeded in occupying the fortress of
Claulilla. The heavy artillery was kept incessantly at
work to itestroy the works which had been erected with
',eat skill, as the enemy considered this place as one of
the greatest importancea and had concentrated there
the factions of Arsvelo, Arnan, Forcadell, La coba
and others, but they were beaten by the gall,,try of
our soldiers. The Governor and his officers fled across
th• rocky mountains in the middle of the night, and on
the following evening our troops entered the garrison,
taking 46 prisoners. The General-in-Chief has ex-
pressed his great satisfaction at the conduct of the
troops in this affair."

PERSECUTION Or TH.B POLES.—A letter from Po-
lead states that five Poles, sentenced to hard labour
for life in the onjies of Siberia, for participation in the
conspiracy of liknarshi, were paraded lately through
the streets of fief with ropes round their necks. One
of them called out loudly for death. The General-Go-
vernor of Kief ordered that 4,000 strokes of the knout
be given to him. The unfortunate Pole died under the
infliction.

THE WEATHER.—At nine this morning th..
thermometer stood at 27, and in the course of the night
the mercury was fully seven degrees below freezing.
The wind is from the North East, with fine clear sky,
and as the change commenced about the time of new
moon, it is probable the dry weather will continue. Mr.
Murphy gives for the 6th " Fair"—" Frost," and for the
7th " Changeable."
MBA. POSTAN'S WESTERN INDIA IN 1838.
—These volumes present. a vivid picture of Western
India which statesmen need not be ashamed to follow.
We need not recommend the work to our readers,
it is sure to be read—and it is impossible for the
reader not to desire to extend the knowledge of a
work which all who wish well to England and to India
ahead endeavour to circulate. It all who visit India
would record their impressions, and collect materials
for the information of their friends, as Lieutenant
Postans and his gifted wife have done, India would
sooq cease to be a terra incognita.
THE SYLPHIDE.—A report has been current
in Paris that Taglioni was seriously ill ; but letters from
the Russian capital inform us that this is erroneous.
On the 4th of December she appeared for her benefit
at the Imperial Theatre, in a new ballet in three acts,
called l'Ombre, with most unprecedented success. She
was called for ten times, and the enthusiasm in one
scene, where she dances in a
garden strewed with
flowers, and where she appeared as the shadow dancing
on, and vanishing from, a lake, was unbounded. The
Emperor of Russia was present, and sent her the next
day a magnificent present of diamonds and turquoises.
The ballet had been got up with unexampled magni-
ficence. The music was composed by Adolphe Adam,
the writer of the Brassezir de Pi eston, the Postilion de
Lonjumeau, &c.
THE IRON TRADE.--Compared with what it
has been at many periods, the present price of iron is by
no means high, and this trade has suffered, like most
others, from the general pressure on the money market.
Bar iron in Wales is now quoted as low as from 8/. 15s.
to 81. 10s,, per ton ; a gradual reduction, amounting al-
together to about twenty shillings
per ton, having taken
place since the spring of the year. There has not, how-
ever, been the least reduction in the rate of the work-
men's wages, which still continue higher than they have
been at any former period ; affording, in truth, a larger
return for labour than it has ever before acquired in any
part of the world.—Silurian.

There were very exeellent supplies, and a fair business was

HOW TO CONCILIATE THII IRHIPI.—One of
the organs of Sir Roieert Peel, tits Standard of last
evening, thus describes eiesiit millions of our fellow-
subjects :—" We hold Mr. O'Connell to be as inca-
pable of particular resentment as he is of friendship--
like his master and prompter, he ha tes whatever is good,
or whatever contfulds for good, but it is with the cool
hatred proper to the diabolical character. His violent
furies are, we feel convinced, as much assumed as his
patriotism and loyalty. Probably the' solution of the
man's brutality is to be found in big audiences rather
than:hin.self. They are a cruel and a siteeninary race ;
and as they cannot be just now indulged in the p ractical
exercise of the pike, knife, and faggot, it is nece:ssary to
indulge them with a little theoretical savagenfmt and
spite, to preserve their favour and keep them. in good
humour." '
Sir W. S. Trelawnev, Bart., the r tew Lord-
Lieutenant of Cornwall, is to be raised to t be Peerage,
under the title of Baron Okehampton.—Ea ;derFl in

year when he died.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
CHARGE OF ROBBERY BY A SEftTANT.—Frederick Win.
Silton, a respectable-looking man, -aged 33, was indicted
for stealing five shillings and sixpence, of Edward Bull,
his master.

It appears that the prisoner, who is a currier,
was in the employment of the prosecutor, who
suspecting his honesty, (*used a certain number of shil-
lings and half_crowns to be marked, which he gave to cer-
tain persons to go to his shop to make pnrchases. The
persons were served by the prisoner. The prisoner was
immdiately afteritards searched, and a portion of the
marked money was found on the prisoner.
Mr. BODKIN addressed the Jury for the prisoner.
Several witnesses who had known the prisoner fur many
years gate him an excellent character.

_ .
The lizeoftont summed up the evidence, and the Jury
found the prisoner guilty of embezzlement.
The Raconottit then sentenced him to be transported
for seten years.
On hearing kis sentence, the prisoner appeared com-
pletely overcome by his teelings, and was led out of the
dock, crying most piteously for mercy.
Sarah Carroll, aged 18, was indicted for stealing vn►..
rious articles, the propery of Thomas M'Lewer, her mas-
ter, and Joseph Blizzer, aged 36, for receiving the same,
knowing them to have been stolen.

The —prosecutor lives in Lambeth, and took the prisoner
Carroll into his service from the Lambeth workhouse, on
the 23d December, and on the Friday following she
quitted his service 'without notice, taking with her the
the articles in question, several of which were subsequently
pledged by the prisoner Blizzer.
The prisoner Carroll made no defence.
Blizzer denied Opt he knew the property had been stolen.
The RECiRDER having gone through the evidence, the
Jurned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners, and they
were severally sentenced to seven years' transportation.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN )
Sarah Reid was indicted for stealing a gown the pro-
perty of Elenry Reid, her brother. The prisoner pleaded
Guilty. Her sister-in-law, in answer to the Court, said
the prisoner bad frequently purloined articles from her
brother's warehouse. He was determined to check it, and
prosecuted in the hope that it would do good.
Sentence—Six months' imprisonment and hard labour.
Edward Walker also pleaded tioilty of stealing two
pairs of boots, the property of W. H. Brooks, his !caster.
He mks also sentenced to six months' impris-mment.
George Hill and Edward Wright were indicted for
stealing at Ilford, Essex, 29 lbs of flour, the property of
Theskas Catty, a baker there.

Hill was a. young boy in the employment of the prose_
cuter ; the other was a man using the prosecutor's baltaw-
housJ, for the purpose of baking potatoes. On the night
of the 19th December, they both went into the bakehouse,
and finding no one there, they went to the trough and filled
bsg with flour. The prosecutor's sit was in the lott,
and saw the transaction. Afterwards the canstalle and
him went to Wright's house, where the bag was found.
The flour in the beg appeared to be of the same quality as
that used by the prosecutor.
Mr. Joiviss addressed the Jury for the prisoners. Seve-
ral inhabitants of Ilford and the prosecutor gave the pri-
soners a good Character previous to this transaction. The
latter also begged to recommend them to mercy.
The Court sentenced them to six weeks' imprisonment
and hard labour in Ilford gaol.
John Vine, a young boy, was indicted for stealing a
watch, chain, a seal, and keys, also an accordion the pro-
perty of James Edwards, on die 19th of December last.
The boy lodged in the house of the prosecutor, whose
wife saw the articles mowed in the indictment safe on the
18th Dec. They.yere kept in the bedroom, to which no
other person but the prisoner and the family had access.
A pawnbroker produced •the, accordion, which had been
pledged by the prisoner for 45.. • None of the other pro-
perty had been found, but the Judge said he had no doubt
he had had them all.

The Jury found a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenced
to seven years' transportation.

The Chairman and a Deputation from the Com-
mittee of South American Bondholders waited upon his
Excellency Senor Mosquera on Saturday last, and
ter a long discussion upon the letter which the Co4h.
mittee had addressed to him, his Excellency pro-
mised to return rn answer in writing within a fortnight.
The Rev. J. C. Franks, A.M., Vicar of Hud-
dersfield, has resigned that vicarage. There are nuniej
rous rumours as to the cause of this unusual step.—
Halifax Express.

MAIL UPSET.—Sunday morning, when the
night coach WAS within about two miles of Newry, on
its way to Belfast, it was overturned in consequence of
the axletree breaking. Very fortunately none of the
passengers (eight in number) received any injury ; and
the only consequence of the accident was, the deten-
tion of the mail for an hour and a half, or two hours,
while the driver was engaged in providing another coach
in Newry.—Northern IVhig.

LEEDS DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE
CORN-LAWS.—The meeting in the Cloth Hall-yard, on
Tuesday last, was all that we could have expected
from the sound-thinking and clear-seeing men of Leeds.
It was, indeed, perfectly triumphant as a demonstra-
tion of public opinion against the iniquitous Corn
laws—so aptly defined in the words of the first resolu-
tion, as being " at variance with the laws of God, and
the rights of humanity.;' The meeting was per-
fectly unanimous, be it remarked, in its denun-
ciation of the Corn-laws. Not a solitary voice
was raised in their defence ; nor a solitary
hand was held up in their favour. The ex-
hortations of Mr. White and the other Irish
gentlemen who spoke in advocacy of fighting and revo-
lution, were received as they deserved. It is evident
the working classes of this district are sound at bottom ;
and that they can estimate at their true worth those
whose comprehension appears to be limited to brute
force, fighting, and revolution—subjects level to the
meanest capacity, and to no other. Yet, even thew
men are not without an excuse of some kind. The
demon of mis-Overnment has implanted in them these
bitter and hostile feelings towards the class above them,
and thus perverted the kindly and friendly nature of
man.—Leeds Time:.

DEVONPORT ELECTION.—We hat e been told
that some of the Radicals of this borough have threat-
stied to vote for Mr. Dawson, if they find they cannot
carry Mr. Leach. Can there be any truth in the state-
ment ? can it he anything but an invention of the enemy,
for the purpose of increasing the discord among the Re-
formers ? To suppose that any one calling himself a Ra-
dical Reformer, could, under any possible circumstances,
however irritated or offended by his party, be induced
to vote for a red-hot Tory, deeply coloured with Orange-
ism—a thorough-paced Hanoverian, an advocate for
rotten-boroughs, a repealer of the Catholic Emancipa-
tion Act—was beyond the stretch of our imagination.
A person who could so act, could never have deserved
to be considered a Reformer ; he never could have had
a fixed political principle, and must be a creature only
of passions and prejudices, incrpable of forming a sound
political opinion, and would, by such a 'course, entitle
himself to the unmeasured contempt of his townsmen,
of whatever politics.—Devonport Independent.
