DEATH OF SIR HENRY FREELING, BART.—We
regret to learn-that Sir Henry Freeling, Bart.,
died suddenly on Monday last. He was in town
on Saturday, quite well; but he had been in rather
delicate health for some time previously. Sir
Henry was son of the first Baronet, by his first
wife, the daughter of Christian Carstadt, Esq., of
London. He was born 1789. He married in
1816 the daughter of Robert Lang, Esq., of
Moor Park, Surrey, and succeeded to his father
in 1836. The first Baronet, his father, was Se-
cretary to the General Post-office for more than
thirty years. The family seats are Ford and
Hutchings, Sussex. His son, Francis Freeling,
Esq., born in 1816, is his heir. The deceased was
one of the Commissioners of Customs.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

There has been a slight rally in the quotations of the
public securities to-day, although in the morning the
market opened rather heavily. Consols for immediate
transfer ranged from 884 to 891. For the Account the
value realised was 89i to 89;:. Exchequer Bills were
Bs. to 10s. premium, and India Bonds par to 2s. prem.
Bank Stock was rather better, viz., 1631 to 1641, but
India Stock was flat at 2471. The Reduced Three-and-
a-Half per Cents. brought 97i to and the Three per
Cent. Annuities 871 to 881.
There was still a good deal of speculative business in
the Foreign Market, but the Peninsular Bonds are not in
quite so much favour with the Bulls, though this, pro-
bably, is a mere temporary affair. The 'Active Spanish
Bonds, which opened at 25 to 251, closed.at 244 to 241 ;
Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at 334 to 34.1
for Account, and the Three per Cents. at 204 to 21,
owing to the more favourable accounts from that guar-
tn. ; and Mexican Stock was firmer at 251 ; Belgian
Bonds were marked locq, and Dutch Five per Cents.
99i to 991.
Shares attracted very little attention. Birmingham
were 68 ; York and North Midland New, 15 prem., and
Brighton, 14i to 151 discount.
The letters by the steamer from America were
delivered late this afternoon, and appeared to give more
satisfaction.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 30.—The business
done in the Cotton Market to-clay is to a moderate ex-
tent, the sales amounting to 3,000 bales, all of which are
taken by the trade.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, Nov. 30.—The trans-
actions in this Market were in Eastern Counties, 74 ;
Grand Junctions, 191 ; Ditto, Half Shares, 954 ; Lon-
don and Birmingham Quarter Shares, 22 ; London
and South Western, 56 ; Ditto, 1-10th Shares, 43.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 30.—The
Market is steady, and more business might have been
done than for some days previous had Stock been more
plentiful. Manchester and Leeds, Half Shares, 241 ;
Ditto, Quarter, 2:1 ; Bank of Stockport, 21. 6s. 3d.
We have a West India packet in this morning ; her
Majesty's packet Crane. She brings advices from ;La-
matea to the 3d November ; Barbadoes to the 28th
October ; Demerara to the 24th October ; and St.
Thomas's, November 7. The Colonial Parliament of
Jamaica was opened by his Excellency the Governor at
the date fixed by the last proclamation. After the usual
preliminary proceedings, the speech of his Excellency
was delivered. On the 28th October the President of
the Council replied, and on the next day the House
of Assembly, by its Speaker, responded thereunto.
Although there were some heavy sales effected by the
Government and the brokers yesterday in the British
Stocks, the Market still continued firm, and at the close
of business, the quotations of the early part of the morn-
ing were fully maintained. Consols for Money closed at
BEq.-, 89, and for the Account 891 -1, at which price they
opened this morning, and are now firm at those quota-
tions ; there is, however, but a limited business
doing ; Three per Cents. Reduced are 874 88 ; New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 981-1 a ; Exchequer Bills,
8 to 10 premium.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Stock continues
to be the favourite security for speculating in ; they
opened this morning at 25 to I-, and are now firm at
251, buyers ; the Passive, is 54 64 ; and Deferred, 124
; Portuguese Five per Cents. are 334 4 ; Ditto Three
per Cents., 20 to 204 ; Colombian, 20 to 204 ; Mexican,
251 26; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52 to 524 ;
and the Five per Cents., 994 to 100.
It may not be uninteresting to the holders of Spanish
Bonds to learn that the Spanish Finance Agency in
London, hitherto conducted by M. de Zulueta, has
13.'!en transferred to the highly respectable firm of
Aguirre, Solante, and Murietta, of the Old Jewry.
The English Stock Market continues steady, with a
fair amount of business doing. Consols for Money were
last done at 89, and for the Account 894 ; Three per
Cents. Reduced, 88 ; Three-and•a-half per Cents. Re-
duced, 974, and the New T hree-and-a-Half, 98,4 ; Bank
Stock, 1631 ; India Stock, 2474 ; Exchequer Bills, 8 to
10 premium.
In the Foreign Market the operations have been very
limited, Spanish Stock maintaining its price ; business
has been done in them as high as 251 during the morn-
ing, but they are now vtoted at 251 ; Passive, q- 6 ;
Deferred, 124 i; Portuguese Five per Cents,•334 344 ;
and the Three per Cents. 204 ;- Colombian, 201 ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52k; at:d Five per Cents. 994.
Very little doing in the Share lYtarket. London and
Brighton are heavy at 351 1 ; the other Shares present
no alteration.
Consols, Money, 89 to 894 ; Consols, Account, 894
to 84; Mexican, 24 to 26 ; Spanish, 25 to 251.
We have nothing very new this morning from any
quarter. Money is still at a fair rate of interest,
and is likely to continue so while the transfer
books remain closed, as there are still some
large exports of silver in progress, and our foreign trade
is not brisk. If we do have a revival of animation in
commerce next year, the failures will have swept off
the weak private and joint-stock banks, and leave
a sounder ground to work upon ; for there can be
no question, but that it is for the benefit of the
community at large, when houses in a state of insol-
vency, no matter how long they may have con-
trived to keep on, are at once brought to a
stand. Banks of all institutions are least likely
to recover from any excessive losses, out of
proportion, as they often are, to the capital paid up, and
this remark will apply even more to private than joint-
stock establishments.
