using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my

I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow Tay business. I do most sincerely
believe I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 2a. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-

TII E TOILET.—A fine Head of Hair—" the
inestimable gift of the Graces"—from its influence in
giving due effect and expression to the features, has been
universally sought after. No article for this purpose has
ever been favoured with such distinguished patronage as
" Lowland's Macassar Oil," the reputation of which for
its beautifying and restorative qualities, has been pro-
mulgated in all ranks of fashion and elegance, which
the high encomiums and testimonials of its value
amply corroborate ; in drcesing the hair, and arranging
it into any desired form of curl or other decorative for-
maotin, the addition of this Oil is indispensable,—it pre-
serves the coiffure in the heated atmosphere of the ball-
room,- and prevents the relaxing effects of damp, or vio-

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

rnom THE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY.
POST. In the Foreign House the prin-
cipal operations were in Spanish Stock, in
which the fluctuations proved heavy. A large
operation, of which mention was made yes-
terday, turned out to be less considerable in
amount than had been reported, and gene-
rally believed. The sum talked of was
300,000/., but we understand that, in reality, it
did not exceed one-third of that amount. The
recollection of past disappointments prevents
that confidence being placed in the promises of
the Spanish Government which might other-
wise have been the case ; and while some of the
bondholders deem it wise to realise at the price
of the day, others were slow to enter into specu-
lations of so critical a nature. It is not forgotten
by prudent men that the payments advertised
for May and November, 1837, led to a great
advance in the English Market at the time, but
that the money has not been forthcoming, even
to the present day; and to go, under such cir-
cumstances, deeply into purchases, upon the
faith of present or future pledges being better
attended to than the preceding, without the
smallestaeto fnpa
uguarrdaonntaebel
co
folly.
fo
It appears that the forgery of Exchequer bills
is by no means confined to this country, but that
it is, in fact, the order of the day on some parts
of the Continent and elsewhere. We ,perceive
that arrests have been made in Drtsden of
parties who had issued counterfeit bills on
the Piussian Treasury, and that a commis-
sioner has been sent to Paris, within the last few
days, to ascertain the existence of like forgeries
in that capital, where he first discovered them
in the window of a money changer. The commis-
sioner went in and gave an order for a consider-
able suni deliverable at a stipulated time. This
having arrived he calledagain with a police officer,
by whom the forgeriei were seized, together with
the vendor; and although the proceeding-against
the latter fell *to the ground, the redress •he
attempted to obtain for the loss to which he had
been subjected, through the order given him to
purchase, was not afforded him: We find also
that the Portuguese Minister of Finance has just
made a special communication to the Cortes re-
quiring extraordinary measures for the suppres-
sion of the immense amount of forgery going on
in stamps, bank-notes, and public securities, as
wall as of coin, observing that, without the
powers applied for it would 'be impossible for
him to collect the revenues with any satisfaction
to himself. It is much apprehended by parties
conversant with the arts of engraving and stamp-
ing, that forgery is likely to increase to a fearful
extent through the promulgation of various
processes lately discovered, and particularly
in the use of the electrotype, the test
of imitation by means of which no kind of
engraving now practised is able to resist. It is
confidently asserted that coloured embossed
stamps, such as the Post-office labels, are imi-
tated at a very trifling expense to the imitator,
for even the law does not comprehend this, it
would appear, as an offence coming within the
Acts passsd for the prevention of forgery. Com-
mon receipt and bill stamps, also, are said to be
imitated with a facility beyond all belief, and at
scarcely any other cost than that of the paper,
stamp, and a small quantity of sealing-wax and
shellac. It is therefore not to be wondered at
that the greatest desire prevails in the Treasury
td introduce such improvements in this important
branch of the. revenue as will effectually do
away with every temptation to the crime• of for-
gery, as well as risk of loss to .the Exchequer,
which some parties compute at preserit to be
far greater than the public at large have any
idea of.

CHRONICLE.—East of Temple-bar the in-
habitants are, perhaps, too apt to consider the
merits of any measure by its money price. Thus,
when the looked-for scheme of emigration is dis-
cussed in the City, the first question generally
put is, "What will it cost?" The advantages to
be expected from the execution of a large and
comprehensive plan of emigration may be con-
sidered so great by. philanthropists as to induce
them to look upon the expense as a secondary
matter ; but when the financial ififibarrassments
of the country, and the impoverished position
of the public Treasury are considered, the
pounds, shillings, and pence become of serious
importance.. When we remember that the Re-
port of the Select Committee on Emigration last
session recommended an expatriation en masse
of about sixty thousand souls as needful to re-
lieve the destitution prevailing in the Highlands
and islands of Scotland, we perceive at once
that millions of money must be expended in
order to carry into. effect any general and effi-
cientunite
dKingdom. measure
The expense of emigration
of
sendingthe
60,000 emigrants to • Canada could not be safely
estimated at much under 400,0001. The cost
again per head to New South Wales under the
bounty system is 201., so that to transport the
same number of adults to Sydney or any part of
our Australian colonies would be fully 1,200,000/.
The gross expense of conveying 120,000 emigrants
in equal portions, therefore, to New South Wales
and Canada, would certainly incur an ex-
pense to the Treasury of about 1,600,000/.
If the Government were to propose a measure
of so limited a nature as that to which
those figures apply, the addition of 1,600,0001. to
the expenditure for the next year does not ren-
der the task of equalising the revenue and ex-
penditure one of more easy accomplishment ;
and Unless it were brought forward on a much
more compiehensive basis, the benefits 'accruing
from it would be of no permanent duration ; for •
in lieu of the numerical subtraction of 120,000
from the gross population by emigration, the ad-
dition by births would be nearly 400,000 in the
year 1842. The only ordinary funds which the
Government could command, to take off the load
from the Exchequer, are the colonial land funds,
which would not do much to alleviate the charge._
The necessary conclusion, accordingly, is, if the
Government determined on a scheme of emigra-
tion, that Mr. Goulburn must soon appear again
in the Money Market with some new patch-
work of a loan or funding; thus adding more and
more to the amount of the public debt.
TIMES.—The late transactions of the Bank of
England in stock turn out to be not absolutely a
lending of money on such security, but the
taking back of Consols upon which the Bank
had previously itself borrowed money. This
operation is one not unfrequently resorted to
within the last two years, and is for the purpose
of equalizing the rate of money in and out of the
Stock Exchange.
The proceeding of the house of Coutts and Co.
against Lord Strangford is now understood to be
not an action at common law, but in the form of
a bill of discovery filed in Chancery, in order to
ascertain the degree of knowledge possessed by
his Lordship of the origin of the Exchequer bills
accepted by that house as security, with the view
of instituting legal proceedings, on evidence so
obtained from Lord Strang-ford, against other
parties. This is no abandonment, as has been
interpreted by some, of the claim against the
Government for the spurious bill's, but in order to
show that all possible legal steps have been
taken against those even suspected to have a
guilty knowledge of the-original fraud, in aid, so far
as it may go, of the liability of the Government.
SUN.—The notice from the Bank of England, inserted
in the Evening Edition of The Sun, differs in no respect
from the one issued in September last, prior to the closing
of the transfer books. All further uneasiness being unne-
cessary, as the Bank will receive six months' of
exchange, Exchequer bills, and India, Bonds, it may
be hoped that the Money Market will be relieved from
some of its late stringency. Christmas time, however, is
always rather trying for the commercial world.
Stocks were buoyant to-day, and the adjustment of the
Accouiat did not create any particular demand for money,
or cause ineonvenience to the jobbers. The Funded

PILE-DRIVING MACHINE.

A very simple, yet very admirable machine for driving
a double row of piles, has very recently been imported
from the United. States. It was built at Utica, and has
the national name " Brother Jonathan" inscribed on it.
It is now in operation at Smith's timber wharf, Pedlar's
Acre, where it can be seen driving the piles for the
causeway and abutment on the Surrey side of the New
llungerford Market Bridge, now in progress. The
hammers, or weights, or as they are more usually called
by pile-drivers the " monkeys," arc elevated to a
height of thirty-five feet or thereabouts, along grooves
in perpendicular leaders, by means of a locomotive
steam engine of ten-horse power, • fixed on a plat-
form, on which the whole of the machinery is
placed. The power of the blow given by each of
these hammers exceeds six hundred tons, ma drives a
pile of twenty-seven feet long, and as thick as the thick-
est piles used in embankments and for coffer dams, nearly
its whole length into the earth in about eight minutes,
perhaps less. It drives two piles at the same time. A
circular horizontal saw is worked by the engine, which,
in a few seconds, cuts the tops of the piles .even, and
enables the trucks, or small wheels on which the plat-
form is supported, to come forward as fast as the piles
are driven, and cut them even at the top ; the platform is
propelled by a one-horse power by the engine. The power
of this machine is absolutely astounding, and requires to
be seen to be fully estimated. lt is an important appli-
cation of steam pOWer, likely to produce very beneficial
results in public works, in the formation of sea banks,
and in all operations !on a large scale where rapidity
of execution and precision are required. The machine
was used in America for driving piles for railroads ; and
travelled by its own power upwards of two hundred
miles, driving piles, and making its own road through
swamps and districts heretofore impervious. It is
patented in this country, and also in the United States.
The machine has, moreover, the power of drawing piles
out of the earth as quickly as it drives them in, and can
be applied to the raising of blocks of * stones, and all
heavy weights that require an extraordinary power. It
is almost indispensable for all persons immediately con-
nected with engineering and science to see it, and it is
well worth the while of a visit from the curious and in-
telligent of all professions.

ELECTION RIOTS.- TORY
VILLAINY.

A SHTON-UNDER•LYNE.-4t will be remembered that
this town was :the scene of great riots and disturbances
during the last election, and particularly on the nomi-
nation day, and that a great number of " navigators,"
who were hired by the Tories, were tried for riot at the
last Liverpool Assizes, and found guilty, three of whom
sentence of death was recorded against. At the same
assizes true bills were found against some of Mr. Har-
rop's friends, for arming and inciting to riot. Previous,
however, to the assizes, and immediately after the elec-
tion, the Tories (enraged by their defeat) applied for
warrants against eight of Mr. Hindley's supporters, for
riot and assault. These cases were heard before the
Ashton Magistrates, and dismissed. Individual cases
have also been heard and dismissed. So determined
were the Tory party to throw off the disgrace which
characterised their cowardly proceedings at the elec-
tion, and if possible to charge Mr. Hindley's Pirty
with the commencement of the riot on the day of no-
mination, that they indicted the same persons at the
last Salford Sessions, who were tried and acquitted be.
fore the Ashton Magistrates, for riot and assault. The
case was heard at the New Bailey on Wednesday last.
Messrs. Gibbon and Hawkyard were solicitors for the
Tories ; and Mr. Gartside was solicitor for the Re-
formers (the defendants). Dr. Brown and Mr. Brandt
were counsel for the defendants, and Messrs. Greene
and Wiggam for the prosecution. The case com-
menced about four o'clock, and was not closed until
half-past twelve o'clock at night. The witnesses for
the prosecution were Messrs. Thomas Mellor (cotton-
spinner), Collins, Turner, Lingard, Hulme, and
others, amounting to thirteen in number. The de-
fendants had upwards of twenty witnesses, who all
spoke to the same fact, that the riot was commenced
by the Tory party advancing with stones and blud-
geons upon Mr. Hindley and his friends on their enter-
ing into the Market-place. The question for the jury
to decide was, whether the Tory party commenced the
riot, or Mr. Hindley's party; and after hearing the
Learned Chairman's remarks upon the evidence, they
returned a verdict for the defendants of " Not, guilty."
This is the third time the Ashton Tories have exposed
themselves in the different Courts of law, spending
their time c.nd mono; to convict Mr. Hindley's party'
of an offence which has been proved by a jury of the
country to have been committed by themselves.—Man-
chester Times.
