ought preferentially to be trusted to work out his own
measure, so it might be thought that Lord Stanley, as
the author and propounder of the Irish Reform bill,
and the detector of the frauds engrafted on the re-
gistry system as it now stands, should be the man
of all others best qualified to complete his own
labours, and drive home to the very vitals of corrup-
tion the wedge first introduced into the dry rot timbers
by himself. This is the just ani common-sense
interpretation of Lord Stanley's principles, and there-
fore of Lord Stanley's Bill, but therefore it is not that
of the Chronicle, by which we are told that in their
crusade against his Reform Registration Bill, and in
the counter proposed Bill of their own for eluding the
Refo2m, " Lc rd John Russell, or Lord Alorpeth, is
to be cheered and supported," whilst virtually Lord
Stanley is to be hissed and hunted down.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(WEDNESDAY EVENING.)
TIM E S.—By the letters from Manchester it appears
that the last advises from New York have had some in-
fluence in checking the rising activity in the power-loom
gooes market. All descriptions of goods which were par-
ticularly adapted to the consumption of the United States
have become nearly unmarketable, and some orders given
out on contract a short time back ha►e been counter-
manded. For Turkey and Greece, which are chiefly sup-
plied with hand-loom goods, the demand was fully kept
up. The complaints of a scarcity of money seem to have
ceased, and to insure the full development of that pros-
perous trade, of which the indications have been so mani-
fest for some time past, nothing appears to be wanting but
a steady wel.regulated currency, so that merchants might
preceed with their operations without fear of being under-
mined by some of the " stringent" operations, which few
are able to discern before they actually take place, of the
Bank of England. If such a state of things could be es-
tablished, the temporary cessation of the demand from any
one quarter could hardly be referred to, as it has been in
the present accounts, as an event of any importance.
A large parcel (about 40,0091.) of Consols for money
wee sold by the Government broker in the course of the
day, which, by enhancing the value of money, depressed
the market. The sale is said to have been out of the
Savings'-bank Stock, but for the purposes of the Govern-
ment.

POST.—The at'empt made to-day to put the kiln-
dried tea, forming the cargo of the Westminster, sunk off
Margate, up to auction, was resisted by the trade. The
attendance was numerous, and the conduct of Govern-
ment in authorising the sale of a damaged article of this
description, was commented upon by several gentlemen in
a manner that was by no means complimentary t., them.
trade were very properly determined not to allow the
damaged commodity to find its way among the retailers,
and the intended imposition upon the consumer was reluc-
tantly abandoned amidst a storm of vociferation expressive
of the feeling of the dealers.

The auctioneer was interrogated as to the arrangement
entered into between the consignees, or importing houses,
and Government, respecting the duty to be paid on this
cargo. Ile was, however, not prepared to give any infor-
mation upon the point.

II E l ALD.-_The Funds declined again from the slight
rally of yesterday, els' Consols closed at 891 for Money,
and 89. (or Account. The more immediate cause corn•
manly assigned for this decline was a sale of 40,0001. Money
Consols on Savings', banks account by the Government
broker, The amount is entirely insignificant, for it is no
more than what a broker in moderate business might be
called upon to do in ordinary times, but the operation is
otherwise significant. him been observed cn various oc-
casions of late, and since it was well understood the Treasury
was pressed for means extra of the supply Bills voted last
Session, that the Savings'-bank Fund has been made free
with by sales on Government account, and it is gathered from
these indications as probable that, rather this resort to a
lean to cover the large deficit which must exist betwixt
revenue and expenditure, the Treasury people are man-
ce:wring to raise the wind gradually by making free with
the funds of the Savings'-banks. The deficiency daily
growing and pressing upon the Exchequer as the claims
pour in, not of the present year alone but of past year,,
night have been met by the issue of that class of Exch:,-
quer Bills, notoriously enough known as " Deficiency
Bills," but the fact is that the Exchequer 13iIl market
has long been in too weak a condition, vibrating as it
is and has been between a small premium and abso-
lute discount, to admit of such an operation. There.
fore it is that the Savings'-banks, which should be a
fund never broken in upon, or if at all only when
some poiitire advantage is found to accrue both to the
Government and to the management of those institutions,
is resorted to in moments of pressure by financiers like
those of the present time, whose greatest anxiety and gra-
tification it is to put off the day of reckoning to the most
distant date possible, so that departmental estimates and
budget; should not shock the " ears " economic if not
" polite " of the Commons' House until the latest period
practicable in the Session. Bills and balances of ac
count of Canadian expenditure arising out of the insurrec-
tions in Lower and Upper Canada have poured in already,
to the extent of 500,000/. or 600,0001., a large portion
of which is to be provided for over and above the
expenditure otherwise taken into more exact estimate
in last year's financial rakings, and this large amount,
which is believed to be a good deal below the sum total
of damage of which all the bills of parcels have yet to be
delivered, properly appertains in great part to, and should
app7oximatively have been met and covered so far as
possible by votes of e.-edit and appropriation two years
ago, instead of being lewely left to find their way against
the Exchequer at any time, and finally to be paid off by
recourse to the usual draft upon the Bank against an issue
of " Deficiency Bills." Some small portion of the bills
of parcels for Syrian and Chinese, if not for East Indian,
glories must by this time be making their appearance also at
the Treasury, in the shape of commissariat and other drafts,
but where practicable it will be an object within the usual
policy of the financial people to stave off the bulk of these
accounts, so as to throw them past budget delivery, its
which case the present year's burden might be cased in ap-
pearance, but after all at the expense of the next. Alto-
gether it may be confidently taken for granted that finan-
cial affairs are in no very enviable position, and that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer would not be greatly can-
cerned if the ensuing Easter holidays, previous to the
awful moment of budget delivery, could be indefinitely pro-
longed to something nearer the epoch known as the Greek
Kalends.

TIIE COLLIERS' TURN-OUT.—On Friday
last, Jan. 29, there was a meeting of turn-out colliers,
which was numerously attended and lasted nearly the
whole day, at Little Ilulton, near this borough. Various
were the opinions put forth by those who ventured to ex-
press any on the occasion; the majority, however, were not
inclined to continue the turn-out, but were unwilling to re-
sume work at the ter ms agreed to by the employers in the
first instance, namely, an advance of 10d. on the load of
three tons. On Saturday, many of them began to pre-
pare their tools; they visited their former employers,
and the result wt.s, nearly all the men in that quar-
ter resumed work on Monday morn.ng. The pits be-
longing to W. Helton, Esq., at Farnsworth, arc still
stopped. When the men asked, and turned cut for
the second advance, Mr. Hulton ordered the ropes, tubs,
baskets, &c., to be removed, and declared that the pits
should stand idle a long time before he would give the
price demanded. The men arc, it is stated, desirous of
returning to work at those pits also, and it is likely that
their wish will be complied with. Numbers of unem-
ployed hands from other departments have made applica-
tion to be taken as miners ; and the fear of being entirely
thrown out of the labour market must have contributed
materially to bring the general turn-out to a close. We
hope, especially as the weather is again becoming severe
and inclement, that in our next paper we shall be enabled
to say the turn-out is entirely at an end.—Bolton Fre
Press. The correspondent of a Morning Paper gives the
following additional particulars from Manchester on
Tuesday:—At Wigan the turn out has assumed a
more serious aspect. Some of the ropes attached
to the pits have been cuf, and some of the trains on
the local railways about the pits have been displaced,
but happily, I am informed, without producing any
serious consequences ; for, as those expedients have been
practised before, every caution has been observed for the
detection of their repetition. Such is the vigilance now
practised at the pits in this neighbourhood, that the ropes
are tested by a double weight before the men are allowed
to descend to the pits. A gentleman connected with one
of the Wigan collieries has just informed me that about
700 men have marched in the direction of St. Helen's, to
cause a turn out of the colliers in that district. At Wigan
the united colliers seem both formidable and determined,
but the masters arc not less so. A meeting of the latter
took place a few days ago, when each came to the meet-
ing provided with a statement of the quantity of coal
then got and lying in store. Upon a general calcula-
tion it was found that amongst the various masters
there was a ready supply of 600,000 tons—a quan-
tum adequate to three months' consumption. It was also
arranged that a mutual compact should be entered into by
the masters, and that those most pressed fur the fulfilment
of their contracts should be supplied at the old prices by
others possessing a surplus quantity. Among ethers, Lord
13alcarres has offered 60,000 tons to ince. such contingen-
cies. As a matter of precaution, his Lordship has or-
dered the pit machinery of all his colliers to be strip
pcd of the roping. For the safety and convenicncu of
Manchester the gas directors have, I am informed, pur-
chased from Lord Francis Egerton his whole stock of
cannel, so that, should we be deprived of fuel for fire,
we shall at all events be favoured with
