MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—Since
the returns of stock, &c., on the 31st ult. were made, the
Market has assumed a more steady and healthy appear-
ance, and for American descriptions prices are about
id. per lb. higher, but for Brazil there is not any im-
provement but rather a disposition to sell at more cur-
rent rates ; and for Egyptian -id. per lb. has been con-
ceded ; in Surat there is not any change. Speculators
have taken 2,000 bales of American, and exporters
800 American and 200 Surat. The sales to-day are from
4,000 to 5,000 bales of all kinds, chiefly American.
The Cambridge, New York packet, arrived at Liver-
pool on the sth ult. at 3 P.M. ; off Sandy Hook, spoke
the Liverpool steamer, then entering the Port.

Arrivals this morning—French Mail ; and ship let-
ters from Lima, Demerara, St. Kitt's and Berbice ;
Calcutta, 30th July ; Cape of Good Hope, '2Bth Oct. ;
and New York, Dec. 5.
We have received Montreal papers to the Ist Dec.
by the Cambridge packet from New York.
UPPER CANADA.—The weather for the week past
has been of great variety until Saturday ; we had frost
then, the wind changed to the south and blew a gale,
bringing snow and then rain. Yesterday, more snow,
with a furious gale.
The total amount of discounts at this moment, out
from the Upper Canada Bank, and all her agencies, is
only 100,0001. Of this amount who can tell what por-
tion may have been generously advanced to such men as
Sir A. 15/I‘Nab, -John Toronto, or the Hon. Mr. Sullivan.
Various rumours are afloat as to the particulars of the
discoveries of the exploring expedition, but no official
account has as yet greeted the public eye.
The above papers are filled with English and French
news. It appears that the Government of Canada is
busy in organizing the militia.

TALLOW MONOPOLY

Having repeatedly cautioned the public against the
infamous practices of two or three unfeeling Russians
in this country, who are robbing the poor of England of
their hard earnings, by the grinding tax which this
shameful monopoly imposes upon them in the high price
of soap and candles, we have much pleasure to find that
our advice has nut been throw away ; and that since we
put the public on their guard, the consumption (as shown
by the weekly deliveries), has been gradually falling off.
We will now show that the quantity of tallow this
year exceeds that of last by about 60,154 casks I viz.:-
1 Casks. Casks.

Besides, the stock of palm oil, at Liverpool, is now
about 6,000 tuns, which is equivalent to 15,000 casks
of tallow ; and a large quantity more expected. We,
therefore, again, tell the British public, not to use a
piece of soap or a farthing candle more than they can
possibly help, until these Russian biars shall take our
manufactures in exchange, instead of British gold.
The price of tallow is nominally 495. per cwt. ; but
from the immense quantity on hand, the depressed state
of trade, and the value of money, it must, ere long, fall
as low us thirty-five shillings.
One of our Correspondents informs us, that one of

these Russian monopolizers suffered a loss of no less a
sum than 30,0001. last year ; but this year they are not
likely to get off so easily.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JAN. 2
THE LOYXL REGISTRY ASSOCIATION

The usual weekly meeting of this body was held to
day At half-past three o'clock Mr. O'Connell arrived,
when ho moved Counsellor Doherty to the Chair. Mr.
O'Connell, in the course of an eloquent speech, in which
no again dwelt on those points that have formed the sub-
'yet of his recently reported speeches, stated the majority
in favour of the Liberals to be 183, or at least 143. A
motion that the Committee
,be allowed time to bring up
their Report on the Registry, was adopted.
In Committee, Mr. O'Connell said—l havenow, Sir, to
call the attention of the meeting to the necessity of taking
immediate steps to obtain such expressions of the Irish
mind as will be most likely to have the greatest effect on the
loyal disposition of our lovely and beloved Queen, the House
of Commons, and the English people generally: In our report
which I read for you on Tuesday, we recommended the
absolute necessity of the Irish public petitioning Ministers
against the grievances under which they labour, and we
suggested the expediency of meetings being held in the
different localities of Ireland. The 12th of January was
mentioned as the time most fitting for these meetings being
held ; but I now, Sir, mean to move that the 18th of Ja-
nurry be fixed, and for this reason, that on the 10th the
penny postage will come into operation, and by this means,
at a very trifling expense, we will be enabled to transmit to
the different parts of Ireland copies of the report and many
other documents. The penny postage will enable us to
circulate those matters at one•twentieth less expense than
it would be possible for us to do at present, and the ne-
cessity of this circulation is obvious, as it will excite a
very great reaction. The 18th then, I think, will an-
swer our purpose, and I should hope, that the drafts of
petitions
to the House of Commons, and copies of the ad-
dresses to the Queen, will be ready by the 16th.
AGGREGATE MEETING.--We again publish this evening
the requisition for a public meeting on the all-important
subject of the registries. The signatures present an array
of rank and influence such as cannot fail to give a resistless
impetus to the public efforts. Registration is the one
thing needful. The true and the only way to baffle the
insolent enemies of Ireland is to multiply our strength upon
the register. This is the' way to'answer the howl of Sir
Robert Peel's parsons and centurions—this is the way
to meet the fanatic bray of No Popery, raised by de.
signing hypocrites and re-echoed by their besotted dupes.
Agitate, Agitate, Agitate," was once sound advice to
the Iriah people. Now, let the word be—Register, Re-
gister, Register. This is the agitation we want, and it
delights us to see the energy and alacrity with which the
Liberal Aristocracy of the country again come forward to
ad a constitutional movement of such vast importance.
The Commons of Ireland are once more in their true
place, that place which they never occupied without sig-
nally advancing the cause of public liberty, and crushing
the aspiring hopes of faction.
Thir meeting, originally intended to be held upon
the 13th, is finally fixed for the 10th instant. Upon that
day the Tories will see a specimen of the lion-spirit
which their malignant insults and suicidal industry have
called forth through the length and breadth of Ireland.
One proof more will be then given them, that the Irish
people are not an army without leaders, or so despicable a
rabble as to want champions to defend, and advocates to
espouse, their, quarrel. In the meantime, let the friends
of the people—all who do not wish again to sec Toryism
in power, and the country in confusion—join in the present
effort, swell the roll of patriots with their names, and aid
with their influence and their purses the success of the
great cause. A great number of names have been added
since our last publicatien.—Dublin Evening Post.
The observations made by Mr. O'Crnnell a day or two
ago regarding Lord Brougham's domestic calamity art-
admitted by the Hon. Gentleman to have been made hi
ignorance of the conventional usages of England.
We have the pleasure to state that circulars have been
issued by the respectable bankitig,house of Leland, Bullet),
and Co., of Liverpool, announcing that they have reduced
the rate of interest on discounts to five per cent. The r -
duetion commenced on New Year's Day. This is a gra-
tifying symptom of the improvement of the money market.
—lbid.
COLONEL Tuommi.,—As we anticipated, the Gallant
Colonel has written a very cautious reply to the Orange
men of Kinsale. For the "present," ho is to keep quiet
—aye, we may venture to anticipate, and for the future,
too. ,wlbid.
AN ENGLiSiI CHARTIST In LIMERICK. —A Limer:e's
Correspondent informs that a well-dressed English Char-
tist attempted to stir up a meeting in that city yesterday,
but the people were on the alert—int motion was given to
Mayor, who three ened to take the fellow into custody,
and the result was, his immediate flight.—lbid.

ROME, DEC. 23.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

On Thursday last, the Duke Torlonia gave his last
concert for this year ; it took place in one of his pa-
laces, which once belenged to the English Ambassadors
before the Reformation, it was attended by a vast
concourse of the elect, the Roman nobility, and il:us-
trious visitors. The concert room is of vast
dimensions, and capable of containing about
eight hundred per;ons, from its lofty ceiling were
suspended chandeliers of great magnitude and beauty,
in the angles of the saloon were marble candelabra o
Greek form, surmounted with gilded branches and palm
leaves, holding countless flambeaux of wax ; marble
statues glowing with Promethean fire lent their silent
aid to this gorgeous scene.
The singers arranged on an elevated stage, about
sixty in number, were composed of professionals and
dilettanti. The band was very effective and nume-
rous ; it was directed by the Marquis Muti, Pre-
sident of the leilarnionica. The music selected was
from the Seniiramide, del Turco in Italia, Tancredi,
Gazza Ladra, and the Mose Nuovo. La Signora David
was the Prima Donna, supported on each side by
other fair cantatrici and choristers, who were all
dressed alike, in white satin, and their fair brows en-
circled with garlands of white roses ; the male singers
were dressed in black. At the end of the saloon is a
spacious gallery, the roof is supported by fluted columns
of burnished gold, and from the roof were suspended
bronzed and gilded lamps, modelled from those found at
Pompeii. Seated in the gallery appeared the Duchess
of Torlonia, arrayed in a literal blaze of diamonds, and
wearing a necklace composed of antique camei of un-
told value ; on either side of the noble hostess were
several of the Roman princesses, and some of
them members of the Torlonia family, in all their
pride and beauty, shining like so many stars
of the first magnitude. How long our eyes would
have dwelt on those fair luminaries we know not, had
they pot bean Palled away by La Bella David, who, in
the duetto " Del Pirato," poured out the emotions of
her soul in such sweet, tender, and pathetic strains of
harmonious eloquence, that we found our thoughts fast
taking leave of this sublunary paradise.
Thera were present his Serene Highness Prince
Otto d'Oetingen Spilberg, his serene Highness the
Prince de Schombourg Lippe, Comte and la Corntesse de
Flahaut, the Austrian Ambassador, Prince and Princess
de Musignarno, Lo Comte de Spur, Lard and Lady
Bruce, Lord Rokeby, Lord de Manly, Lord Emlyn,
Prince Volkonsky, the Hon. Mr. Herbert, General
legg, the Count Hawks le. Griee, General Ramsay,
the Pr:nces Rospigliogi, a.nd Ghigi, Sir
Adams and Lady Maris, and Miss Albano, the Car
dinals Birarola, and Spinola, &c.
`Whig being Advent, all the theatres are closed, and
Rome wquid have been ti dead letter, had it not been
for the splendid entertainment given by the Duke
Torlonia, vibe, it is but 4ostiu to F4y, is one of
the most liberal-minded noblemen in Rome ; he
has given extensive orders to many of our English
artists here, and many are the young aspirants
hays found in him a friend and patron.
