immediate serious resources to our Treasury, since a
sum of 25,000,000 f. only will be paid up in the
course of the last two months of the present year,
and two years must elapse before the portion of the
loan authorised by the law which it has been thought
fit to issue will be paid up. It is very probable that
the circumstances of the present crisis, and the un-
certainty of the future, will render the terms to be
proposed by the contractors less advantageous than
they would have been two years ago, or than they
might be six months hence. The State will probably
lose by this transaction a sum of 30,000,000 f. This
will be a new addition to the faults without
number committed by our Government in seven
years. We are, as to all political and administrative
questions, at the epoch of settlements, and upon all
we have a balance against us—in our budget, our
credit, our influence, and our good name. Elsewhere
there are crises in commerce and in the manufacto.
Ties. England, in particular, is undergoing severe
trials. But there is this difference between the two
countries—on the other side of the Channel the faults
have been committed not by the Government, which
wisely administered public affairs, but by the mer-
chants themselves and the private traders, who are
at this moment paying dearly for their excessive and
hazardous speculations. In France, on the contrary,
neither the merchants nor the manufacturers have
committed faults, and those which we have so cruelly
to expiate have all been committed by the Govern-
ment. It is the Government which, designedly and
by a corrupt calculation, has ordered more extensive
public works than the country can execute, and de-
manded in every shape larger funds than France has
disposable means of supplying. Improvidence, dis-
order, waste, and a detestable system of administra-
tion, form the elements of its conduct, and of which
we are daily feeling the effects. The terms upon
which, no doubt, the necessary loan will be sub-
scribed for will be one of the consequences of its
policy. Were we only to cast up the money the
present Ministry has cost us, the amount, without
bringing into the reckoning the other effects of its
existence, would be sufficient to condemn the present
Ministry."

It would be a curious question to calculate not
only what the present Ministry, but what the present
dynasty has cost France, by comparing the budgets
for the 17 years preceding 1830 with those for the
17 years last past.

REGISTRATIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
(Before T. Y. M'Cumsne, Esq.)
Joseph Hart, bootmaker, residing in Field-lane,
was objected to on the ground that he did not possess
proper qualifications.
It appeared that Hart paid ss. a-week for a shop
and back parlour. He only paid 2s. 6d. a week for
the shop.
Mr. Brown contended that, as the claimant was
described on the list as occupying a shop only, for
which he paid 2s. 6d. rent, his name could not be
retained on the list.
Mr. S. Smith contended that the parlour was at-
tached to the shop, and that both together formed
but one premises, arid held it to be a proper de-
scription.
The REVISING BARRISTER said that he did not
think he could make the addition without allowing
the nature of the qualification.
Mr. Brown held that it would be equally as rea-
sonable to say, that a merchant who made a claim,
with respect to a counting-house, and whose qualifi-
cation was described " a counting-house," should be
' allowed to ask the Court to add the word " and
house," which he might occupy elsewhere.
Mr. S. Smith thought the cases were widely different.
Mr. Hart was recalled, and in answer to a question
put by Mr. Smith, said that he only slept and eat his
meals in the back parlour. That he did not carry
on his business there ; he kept no boots or leather
there, though it was very possible that a stray bit of
leather might occasionally find its way into the back
parlour.--(Laughter.)
The REVISING BARRISTER thought that the name
must be struck off.—Name struck off.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

Henry Gunns, a respectable looking youth, aged
thirteen years, pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with stealing six brooches and various
other articles of jewellery, the property of Francis
Thompson.
The prisoner urged in mitigation that his mother
was in the habit of sending him to pawnbroker's
shops, and at one of those he met a woman, named
Brown, who persuaded him to enter the shop of the
prosecutor, and steal whatever he could. Ile did so,
and after getting the above articles from a drawer he
met her outside the door, when she took the whole
of them from him, and never gave him a penny
of the proceeds.
The prisoner's father, who described himself as a
pianoforte-maker, said his wife was a confirmed
drunkard, and he attributed his son's present dis-
graceful position to the fact of her sending him to
pawn and sell whatever article she could dispose of
for the purpose of procuring drink.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said it was a truly painful
thing to see a boy of the prisoner's age and appear-
ance driven into crime and temptation by his mother's
depravity. Ile should sentence him to one month's
imprisonment, and at the expiration of that time to
be well whipped with a birch rod.

THE NEW COUNT-NOUSE.
At half-past ten o'clock the grand jury came into
Court, when the Assistant-Judge directed their at-
tention to the various points in which the Court itself
was quite unfit for its purpose, and said the gentlemen
of the grand jury had ample opportunities of seeing
what the state of the other portions of the building
was, and how totally unfit they were for the accom-
modation of all parties concerned, and he should,
therefore remit them to the consideration of the
subject.

John Davy pleaded guilty to an indictment charging
him with stealing a quantity of wooden posts and
rails, the property of the Great Western Railway
Company:

Tlie Prisoner called several witnesses, who gave him
an excellent character, and stated that up to the pre-
sent moment the greatest trust and confidence had
been reposed in him by his employer.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said it was a pity such a
person should forfeit his character, after a long life
honestly spent. The sentence of the Court was that
he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two
months.

_
THAMES—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Dunmore, Thomas Fower, and John Dun-
more, described as dock labourers, were charged with
robbing a sailor, named John Sutherland, of his purse
containing 41. 2s. 6d.
The prosecutor stated that he came up from his
ship at Gravesend to Blackwall only yesterday. He
took lodgings at Poplar, and engaged the three pri-
soners to take his ?hest from Blackwall to his lodg-
ings. They agreed to do so, but suggested the
propriety of wetting the job, and leaving the chest
they all came up as far as Ratcliffe Highway to a
public-house. They remained drinking for a con-
siderable period, but the prosecutor declared he was
not tipsy. After some time a quarrel, real or pre-
tended, arose between one of the Dunmores and
another man present, and Fowler said to witness,
" Here, you are the best man of us all, fight this
fellow." Witness agreed to stand by his new friends
and do so, when they advised him to pull his
jacket off. He would not do so at first, knowing his
money was in it, but they insisted, and ultimately
forced it off him, when away they ran, and he did
not see them again till last night, when he gave them
into custody.
Police-constable IC 259, produced the jacket, and
some money which was found on the prisoners.
In their defence, the prisoners called Joseph Dun-
more, their father, who said he had been to the cap-
tain of the complainant's ship, who said he had no
such money as that he professed to have lost.
Mr.YARDLEY, however, did not attach much cre-
dence to this, and committed them all three for trial.

The Earl of Besshorough has appointed the Rev.
Alexander Powis, M.A., of St. Catherine Hall, C4lll*
bridge, to be hie Lordship's domestic chaplain. ,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 2,500
bales only. Prices were FL per lb. lower than last
week. American realised sd. to 64d., and one half the

quantity was taken for Glasgow.---Railway Shares de-
clined again.
There are no late ship arrivals to- day with intelli-
gence of any importance, but from the Continent we are
advised of the unfortunate suspension of Legrelle and
Co., the Brussels bankers. It is said that the assets are
good.

A failure in the country in the Calico trade is also re-
ported, occasioned by the stoppage of Messrs. Morley
and Co.
The suggestion contained in the letter of a ".Foreign
Merchant" has attracted some attention, and as there
appears to be no grave objection to the plan of allowing
parties to have their gold and silver coined at the Mint,
and no currency crochets are involved, the subject may
probably attract attention in the proper quarter.
The particulars exclusively given in The Sun of last
night, as to the numerous attendance of Ministers at the
Cabinet Council, have excited the impression that
there niay yet be something done to relieve the existing
pressure, although the leading article of our contem-
porary, the limes, if it is to be taken as semiofficial,
would rather disabuse the impression. We are afraid the
Times is too well informed in the matter, and has spoken
like Othello "upon this hint."
The effect of the numerous commercial suspensions
has been most seriously to interfere with the usual
operations in foreign bills of exchange, but the rates are
altogether higher, on account of the few bills drawn.
There are now, indeed, more bills than ever being
drawn abroad on England, and hence the arrivals of
specie which are expected.
The affairs of Sander: on and Co. are considered to be
winding up very satisfactorily, but the large amount of
paper yet to run off—a million sterling—renders the
eventual proceeds still a ground of anxiety.
The Funds are much depressed again, and have lost
the improved tone of yesterday. Consols have been
824 i after opening at 83. The "continuation" to
November is about i per cent. Exehequer•bills have
been 1 ls. to 20s. discount. Bank Stock 180 to 182.
The Account settlementiwhich takes place to-morrow
affects prices.
The Foreign Funds have been heavy. Mexican arc
13 to 181, and Spanish Three per Cents. 26k to 27k.
Railway Shares have been at reduced rates.
