MONEY MARKET.

The Banks have advanced their rate of discount one per
cent., money having been rather more in request, owing
chiefly to heavy payments in the Five per Cent. Loan. Of
bills on Calcutta a sale to the extent of five lacs, held a few
days ago, produced an average of Rs. 98-15-6 for Rs. 100 at
thirty days sight.
The following are the quotations of the public loans :-

than buyers, the sales of English goods not having amounted
to much, and the purchases of raw cotton being consider-
able. The rate of exchange on Calcutta at sixty days' sight
is now stated to be at above Rs. 98-15 6 ; on Madras and
China no quotation.

BOARDS OF WORKS.

Mr. W. IL COLLETT wished to know whether the
House could be furnished with the names and occupations
of the 11,000 overseers' employed on the productive and
unproductive works of Ireiand ?
Mr. LABOUCIIERE would be quite ready as soon
as the returns of the overseers were received to lay them
on the table of the House. These returns weuld
comprise the number of the people employed, together
with how many were employed inland, and how many
were engaged in the works of piers and harbours. If
her Majesty's Government received any further in-
formation, there would be every disposition to produce it
as amply as it was obtained.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL gave notice that on the House
going into committee of Supply, ho should move that
the people now employed on the public works should for
the remainder of the term be engaged in the tillage of
the land.—(Hear, hear.)

SHARPE'S LONDON MAGAZINE.

The competition which has been excited among the
cheaper monthly periodicals since this magazine was
first undertaken, has tended only to its visible improve-
ment. In illustrations, in the selection and diversity of
its literary contents, and in the combination of amuse-
ment, with information, it is inferior to none of its rival
publications.

THE FACTORY BILL.

Mr. Juhn Fielden presents his compliments to the Editor
of The Sun, and begs him to correct an error respecting the
petitions presented yesterday by Lord John Russell, as re-
ported in The Sun of last evening, which runs thus—" Lord
John Russell presented a petition, signed by several hundred
manufacturers in Lancashire and Yorkshire, employing up-
wards of 40,000 hands, against this Bill, and several other
petitions to the same effect."
One of the petitions presented by the Noble Lord was
signed by the master manufacturers of 538 firms in the coun-
ties of York, Lancaster, Derby, and Chester, who employ
46,355 hands, praying the House ‘rto pass the Factory Bill
brought in by Mr. John Fielden, Mr. Bretherton, and Mr.
Aglionby."
Another petition presented by his Lordship was from
kh25111,,,nfr Bury, in ,AAll2"thitto reifiia the Goiin;
of labour of young persons between the ages of thirteen and
eighteen, and of females above that age, to fifty-eight hours

THE PLOUGEL

Taking as its perpetual motto that declaration of the
great Liebig, that perfect agriculture is the foundation of
the riches of states," the Plough is striving to render itself
a strictly national work. Its endeavour is being rapidly
realised, as each successive number (and the present is
the fifteenth) has exhibited a perceptible improvement
upon its prcdecssor. The number here published is
creditable to all engaged in its production, and is an
hon Our to the agriculturists.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE POST-OFFICE
LONDON DIRECTORY FOR 1847.
This valuable supplement to a valuable work which
is published annually a few weeks subsequent to the
assembling' of Parliament; has just made its
appearance. It contains a complete Peerage and
Parliamentary Directory, giving the country seat
and the town residence, during the present session, of
every Peer, and of every Member of the House of Com-
mons. Lists of Peers arranged according to the order
of precedence, and also alphabetically ; the titles by
courtesy of the eldest sons of Peers; a list of Peeresses
in their own right; of the Irish and Scotch Representa-
tive Peers ; and of the officers of the House of Peers.
Lists of the Members of the House of Commons, ar-
ranged, the one according to the places for which they
sit, and the other arranged in the alphabetical order of
their names; this latter list also shows the various offices
each Member holds. The whole is corrected up
to the day of publication. This supplement, in con-
tinuation of the "Post-office Directory for 1847,"
also contains a list of persons who have commenced busi-
ness since the publication of that work. to this we must
add the " Postal Directory," which gives every informa-
tion as to the regulations of the post-office ; for, the re-
ceipt and the dispatch of letters ; an alphabetical list of
the post towns in England, Ireland, and Scotland, point-
ing out those at which money-orders can be obtained or
I cashed, and with regard to other places, showing
the exact distance of the place from the
town at which money-orders may be had, together
with a list of 5,000 principal- places throughout
.the world to which mails are dispatched, and the
universal rates of postage on letters and newspapers.
In this portion of the work we obtain information as to
the results of the new Postal treaties entered into with
various countries on the continent. The work is ably
got up, clearly printed, and is edited with the pains-
taking accuracy which characterises all the books of
reference which have hitherto appeared under the
superintendence of Mr. Kelly. It is a model of industry,
accuracy, and neatness.

CHARGE OF BIGAMY.

On Thursday last considerable interest and excite-
ment prevailed through the town of Huddersfield, in
consequence of the announcement that Mr. Jonas
Hellawell, surgeon, was to be placed at the bar
before the magistrates on a charge of bigamy. At
an early hour the Guildhall was crowded in every
part. The magistrates on the bench were W. W.
Battye, John Sutcliffe, and Joseph Brooke, Esqrs.
It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Hellawell
had been married in Scotland—of course, accordingly
to the Scottish laws, which are legali,ed in England
—to a highly respectable young lady, whose name
was Margaret Nichol 3, of Glasgow, so long since as
1833, and the issue of this marriage is a son, now
living, and aged about fourteen years, and who, as
one of the witnesses observed, " is the very picture of
his father." Mr. llellawell, on or just after the
birth of the child, cruelly left his wife and his
child, promising to return in two years, and
to repay her friends all expenses of main-
tenance, and to take them with him to Hudders-
field, but has never since that time acknowledged
either mother or child, since which time he has mar-
ried a Miss Mary Priestly, in Huddersfield, by whom
he has one child, also a son. The second Mrs. 'fella-
well is since dead, and it appears that the prisoner
kept up a correspondence with his first wife for some
time, but always found means to prevent her coming
to visit him in Huddersfield. The Bench, after
hearing the evidence, felt justified in sending the case
to a jury, and Mr. Hellawell was committed for trial
at the next York Assizes, but bail was taken for his
appearance, himself in 501., and two bondsmen in 25/.
each. Mr. Clough appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Barker, with whom was Mr. Charles Turner, for
the defence. The hearing of this case excited most
intense interest in a densely-crowded court, and oc-
cupied nearly five hours. The first Mrs. Hellawell,
whose father has been dead some years, appeared per-
sonally in court with her mother, and is a remarkably
fine woman, a lady in demeanour, education, and ex-
ternal appearance, and her unhappy situation excites
the greatest sympathy.—Leeds bitelbgencer.

LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1847.

Each day adds to the severity of the monetary
crisis, to the uncertainty and excitement in the money
market, and produces a further depreciation in the
va lie of every description of property, and of every
species of security, public or private. Consols for
money were sold at 791, which rate, after the close
of the regular hours of business, was lowered to 794
or 79}. In our Third Edition, yesterday, it was our
painful duty to announce the suspension of the Royal
Bank of Liverpool, occasioned by the absence of notes
and specie to carry on its ordinary business, caused
by the universal contraction of the currency.
Here, then, we have another gigantic esta-
blishment, of the most undoubted solvency,
sacrificed to the maintenance of those laws which
have already spread such consternation and ruin
throughout the land. The magnitude of the concern,
and the enormous evils that even its temporary stop-

that its paid-up capital amounted to no less than
6__°°,ooo/. sterling, and that at the commencement of

THE SPORTSMAN'S THREE WISHES
The sportsman has wishes—we name them—they're three,
With the truth of this version you all will agree :
Nov September's set in, most nobly we'll strive,
To keep the old custom of shooting alive.

Bright Phoebus commands all her guests to appear;
But sportsman, before you depart for the fun,
Obtain your three wishes—your Coat, Dog, and Gun,
The first in the field L. lIYAM now stands,
For his " Paletot Shooting-coat," known in all lands ;
Enveloped in these, it soon will be found,
That the wind and the rain fall powerless around.
For warmth, style, and freedom, none such can be got,
Just wear one—you soon wil be reckoned a " shot."
Then sportsmen of England, appreciate well,
One who pleases so much, and who strives to excel
For that is the cause why the journals express
Such very great faith in his prime shooting dress.
Fulfil then your wishes—your pleasures complete,

AcCo-4ii760.4:47-6';

A case has been decided by 111 r. Sheriff Tait, 016.
volving the question of the liability of railway com-
panies to provide accommodation for passengers in
the partial:ar train for which they had obtained
tickets.

The case came before the Sheriff Small Debt
Court in the shape of a demand by Mr. Brydon,
draper High-street, against the Edinburgh, Leith,
and Granton Railway Company.
It appeared that Mr. Brydon had obtained-a ticket
for the one o'clock train, at the Edinburgh station, on
Saturday, the 4th September, and on proceeding from
the station-house to the train, he was informed that he
could not be accommodated till the next train, at half-
past one, as the carriages were all occupied. The present
demand was the result of the disappointment. It Wes
argued by the company that their time-bills, issued to
the public, contained a condition that they were not
bound to accommodate all passengers who might
apply. But to this it was answered, that condition
applied only to the intermediate stations, and was
unauthorised by the bye-laws of the company, so far
as regarded their principal station.
After hearing parties on three several days, tisa
SHERIFF, in giving judgment, said that the transac-
tion of furnishing a passenger with a ticket could not
be looked on in any other light than as a contract
between him and the company, so far, at least, as
regarded the stations at the ends of the line, although
not at the intermediate stations ; and, therefore, that
the company was bound to compensate Mr. Brydon in
the present instance for any loss he may have sus-
tained from their failing to implement their contract.
Decreet was given accordingly for the full stun
claimed, and for expenses.— Glasgow Argus.

child, promising to return in two years, and
to repay her friends all expenses of main-
tenance, and to take them with him to Hudders-
field, but has never since that time acknowledged
either mother or child, since which time he has mar-
ried a Miss Mary Priestly, in Huddersfield, by whom
he has one child, also a son. The second Mrs. Hella-
well is since dead, and it appears that the prisoner
kept up a correspondence with his first wife for some
time, but always found means to prevent her coming
to visit him in Huddersfield. The Bench, after
hearing the evidence, felt justified in sending the case
to a jury, and Mr. Hellawell was committed for trial
at the next York Assizes, but bail was taken
i for his
appearance, himself in 50/., and two bondsmer? n 251.
each. Mr. Clough appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Barker, with whom was Mr. Charles Turner, for
the defence. The hearing of this case excited most
intense interest in a densely-crowded court, and oc-
cupied nearly five hours. The first Mrs. Hellawell,
whose father has been dead some years, appeared per-
sonally in court with her mother, and is a remarkably
woman, a lady in demeanour, education, and ex-
ternal appearance, and her unhappy situation excites
the greatest sympathy.—Leeds Intelbgencer.

of weakness when circums to nces would have de-
manded the severity of a mof her. These were the
reasons which had induced M. de Praslin to insist on
an education completely isol: di 3d ; but unfortunately
his domestic tastes and the pl tsure which he found in
the society of his daughters c a; used him by degrees to
relax for himself this measunt: of isolation. Aide. de
Praslin became annoyed at this, for until then she
had submitted without any up parent difficulty to the
order of things that had be,e, n established. On my
entering the house she had announced to me that
matters would go on in that .6 ay, and that she would
abstain from interfering up to the time that her
daughters should be of an age to enter the world.
It results from what you have just said that the
authority which had disappettrud entirely from Mde.
de Praslin's hands passed into yours; and, still more,
that the affection which was due by the children to
their mother was concentrated in you. Supposing
that you did not exert yourself to bring about that
state of things, it is impossible but that you must
have perceived it, and it was your duty to prevent
such a result, which allows ut to attribute to you in
great part several of the fatal results which emanated
from it ? I never said to myself, " I will withdraw
from this mother the affection of her children to fix
it on myself;" but I loved tem—l devoted myself

SOUTHWARK.

John Noble, a well-dressed young nian,was charged,
with breaking into the premises of Mr. William Gil-
pin, linendraper, of High-street, Southwark.
The complainant stated that about a quarter after
one o'clock that morning he was awakened by the
police, and informed that the front door was open ;
he, therefore, immediately proceeded down stairs,
and found that the house had been entered at the rear.
The entry had been effected by some person climbing
up a water-pipe at the side of his house fronting a
court, by which means access was had to the interior
by the window of the back first-floor room. The ware-
house was in a state of confusion, the articles being
taken from their proper places ready to be carried off,
but the thieves must have been di turbed, for none of
the property was carried off. lle added that he also
found the shop door open, which must have been un-
fastened from the inside for the purpose of the retreat
of the thieves in case of a surprise, as well as to con.
vey away the stolen property.
Policeman 240 M stated, that being on duty at the
time mentioned, in passing the complainant's shop, he
tried the door, as usual, to see that all was right, but
found it was ajar. He was in the act of pushing it
further open, when the prisoner rushed out and com-
menced running with great speed towards Union-
street, when he was secured. The prisoner when
taken said that he was a respectable tradesman, and
threatened to proceed against those persons who had
taken him into custody.
In reply to Mr. SECKER, the policeman said he was
confident that he never lost sight of the prisoner from
the moment he rushed out of the complainant's shop
until he was taken into custody in Union-street.
William Apthorne stated that he is a private watch-
man, and that he s‘ov the prisoner, whet, running from
the house, drop the large black bag now produced op-
posite the Half Moon Inn, in the Borough.
Martin Gray stated, that he is a clerk, and that Ps
