MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

(TUESDAY EVENING.)
TIM E S.— By 'the advices from Hamburg the price of geld
is 429 per media which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 10id. tEe ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 13.7, and the exchange at Hamburg- on Lon.:
don at short being at 13.64, it follows that gold is 035
per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in London.
The premium on gold at Paris is 8 per mille, which,
at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. the ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.35, and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25.274, it follows
that gold is 0.30 per cent, dearer at Paris than in London.
The course of, exchange at New York on London is
108 per cent.,, and the par of exchange between• Eag-
land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 1 57 per cent. against England.
The price of Ccinsols has been steady all day, and has
not varied a. shade since yesterday.
The Foreign market is equally stagnant, and the only
feature it a trifling depression in the prices of Spanish,
Portuguese, and Dutch stock, and a trifling advance in
that of Spanish American securities.
The direction of speculation is to the Share market,
which now seems to engage almost exclusive attention.
Great Western are firm at 18 to 19 premium ; Birmingham
at 73 to 5, and Brighton at 8 to A- discount.
Bills upon Paris and Amsterdam were in good demand
to-day, and the price of the former rather declined. On
Hamburg there was less demand, and the price was rather
looking up.
By the usual official return published by the Customs,
the exportation, of the precious metals from the part of
Loudon to foreign and colonial ports for the week ending
the 23d of April is as under :
Silver coin, Gibraltar
Silver coin, Hamburgb 3B 000
Silver coin, Rotterdam 30,000
Silver• coin, South Australia 2,118
Silver coin, Calais lOO,OOO
Gold coin, South Australia.......,, 152
It would appear that the inquiry now making by Par-
liament. into the banking question has created a very ge-
neral interest on the other side of the Atlantic. A letter
front New York, received yesterday, thus adverts to the
menner in which the. Bank of Eaeland has performed its
functions, and its influence in the United States
Your great regulator, whose pawers Mr. Loyd desires,
to increase, leas caused more ruin in this country in the
last five years than could be atoned for by flee times her
capital. Her lease of power is now rapidly approaching
its term, and it is the duty of every man who desires to
see an improvement in the condition of the human race to
use his efforts to prevent a renewal. No institution has
possessed so much power to impede physical and moral ad-
vancement, and none has used it so effectually."
A return to an order of the House of Commons gives a
general account of the quantity and value of provisions
imported into Jamaica for the years 1835,. 1836, 1837,
1838, and the half-year ending the sth of July, 1839,
The aggregate value of provisions imported in 1835 was:
367,028/. ; in 1836, 387,979/. ; in 1837, 463,322/. ; in
1838, 439,531/. ; and for the half-year ending the sth of
July, 1839, 248,884/. The principal articles comprise
bacon and hams, beef and pork, beer and ale, core and
meal, fish, live stock, and rice.

CHRONICLE.—Tho continental exchanges under-
went little alteration to-day, with the exception of Ham-
burg, which was a shade higher. The following wero
the rates :—Paris, 25 52i to 55 ; Hamburg, 13 9 to 13
94 ; Amsterdam, 12 11 to 12 l;1; all at three monf.s.
There are as let no symptoms of any extensive exptirt
business, but there has been more activity in the v,hole-
! sale London warehouses during the last fortnight than
' has been experienced by them for some years, in executing-
country orders, during tile same period.
At Mark-lane yesterday Wheat war:, quoted Is. to 2s.
Per quarter dearer, and, from the late rise in the averages,
it is expected that after Thursday the duty on foreign will
be reduced to I3s. Bd. We understand that a question
arose as to the regularity of the last returns from Bristol,
in consequence.of leaving cut the prices of Irish Wheat
sent to that port for sale. After consulting the inspector
we hear that Government conceded the point, and allowed
the averages from Bristol at first transmitted, that is, with.'
out counting the Irish Wheat.
The straightened condition of the New York Money
Market has brought forward a crowd of borrowers of all
Classes, and amongst the foremost it appears that the Fire
Insurance Companies may be classed, and especially ouch
of those establishments as have for the last few years been
paying the highest dividends; many of them as high as
14 to 20 per cent. per annum. The New York Herald,
edited by an industrious individual, whose character is ela-
borately, if not correctly, drawn by Captain Marryat, says,
that the severe losses of the past year have grown out of
this ostentatious display of great profits by the companies
making them, by prompting the knavish to set fire to pro-
perty in a season of dull business, in order to participate
in the large profits of the insurance companies. The re-
sult, he says, is, that the companies, having divided all
their profits, and sometimes more than their profits, reserv-
ing only the original nominal capital, have necessarily be-
come borrowers in the markets. He adds, that only ten
out of twenty-five of those companies have exhibited a
state of their affairs as required by law, and that the char-
ters of fifteen of then, are thus liable to forfeiture.
By a numerical statement in the above newspaper, the
aggregate capital of all the companies is $6,150,000,
and their loss from May, 1839, to the Ist of this month,
is stated at $2,567,693, or More than one-third of their gross
capitals. The capitals of the ten companies which have
made their returns is stated at $2,150,000. The capital of
the fifteen companies that nave made no returns must
therefore be $4,000,000, and their losses have been
:2,167,693 ; more than fifty per cent. of their capital.

H ERA L D.—The Foreign► Exchanges presented no pe-
culiar feature to-day ; and it may be as well to notice here
that the Custom-house returns of the exports of bullion
and specie are not given the same as in other daily
papers, because they are entirely deceptive, and , not of
the slightest value in any practical sense. They arc
copied from the trade list, which professes to give, and
can give, no more than the entries for export made at
the Custom-house. It is not always, far from it, that the
amount entered there is actually exported, in the first
place ; and in the second place, in seasons of active ex-
port, probably ten times the quantity is exported by way
of Liverpool, Glasgow, Bristol, or Hull, but from balais
more than all together, the port of London inclusive, of
which, however, no account seems to be taken officially, or
is published. The imperfect returns from the Custom-
house of this city alone might therefore give rise, as per-
haps they have done, to very serious miscalculations
amongst merchants, and in any case they can form no cri-
terion of the real truth.

There appears nuw to be no doubt of the determination
of Government in favour of a plan for conveying the In-
dian mails to and from Alexandria direct, which, to all
interested in Indian correspondence, or connected with
Indian traffic; cannot but be satisfactory. So far
as public, apart from private, interests are con-
cerned, it is assuredly not the best policy that the
route for those mails should be through the domi-
nions, and be at the mercy of a foreign power, over
which, however friendly disposed, there can exist no pos-
sible control. The correspondence so exposed in tranNitu
is the, most important, undoubtedly, as well as the must
exposed by distance, of any of the distant possessions of
the country. The East India Steam Navigation Com-
pany, organised some time since, arc, it may be supposed,
making good progress now in their undertaking and pre-
paratory contracts, so as not to be far bekindhand with the
company of contractors for the West Indian and Spanish
American steam packet mail service. As the vessels to be
employed will he required to carry heavy metal, a very
convenient addition will thus be made without cat to the
nation in the steam marine, so inferior now in number and
Capability to that arm of service both in France and Rus-
sia, and which, in case of war, may be made at once avail-
able. Altogether the times are propitious for the enter-
prise, both in respect of the intense interest now attzeh-
ing to the state of affairs in India and China, and the
disposition favourably existing here towards cu terp-ises of
home growth.

SUN.—We arc sorry to be unable to notice any im-
provement in Foreign Exchanges, which are. influenced
by continued importations of foreign grain. The rate
for bills on Amsterdam was this afternoon down to 12,
being a lower figure than we remember fora long time
past. On Antwerp the rate was 12 to 19; on Ham-
burg!), 13 9 ; and on Patis,.9s
The Funds left off pretty firmly. C3nsois for pre-
sent transfer at 91, and for time at 91i. Exchequer
Bills closed at 225. prem.

TEE PHILOSOPHY OF JOINT STOCK
BANKING.
By G. M. BZLL.
Till we read this use ul production we were not' pre-
cisely aware of the moral effects which a well conducted
bank may produce. According to the following passage
it metes out rewards and punishments with greater cer-
tainty and greater effect -than a Court of Law :
" The character of moral and religious institutions may
justly be ascribed to Joint Stock Banks on various grounds,
but chiefly because in a well managed bank the characters
who meet with most favour, indulgence, and assistance
are ycung men of good morals and respectable conduct, who
are just commencing the world with perhaps little or no
capital ; men of good motives, but who have been borne
down by unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances ; and
men who baying immediate demands which they are unable,
rroiu the investment of their capital, to meet, have .no other
guarantee but their known respectability and integrity in
business. These are exclusive of many other instances of
temporary accommodation where character, the moral and
industrious character of the party, forms the chief gum-
rautee of the bank.
" Oa the other hand the same principle on the part of
the bank will lead to a strict scrutiny of applications from
persons of immoral and dishonest character, will occasion
their transactions to be regarded with jealousy, and less
liberally dealt with than those of an opposite description.
" In cases where honest and industrious persons have be-
come indebted. to the bank through misfortune, and are
involved in distress, they are treated with kindness and
forbearance, compositions freely and cheerfully received,
and discharges given without hesitation or annoyance.
" Towards villains and impostors a bank acting upon
principles of moral rectitude as well as of common justice
will be inexorable, and prosecute to the utmost. An as-
sociation to be entitled • The Joint Stock Bank Association
for the prosecution of !topics and Impostors,' ought to be
formed, to which every Joint Stock Bank in the kingdom
should contribute."

Mr. Bell's book gives a very succinct account of the
principle of managing banks, and of the duties of Direc-
tors and other officers. It ought, perhaps, to have been
called
_the joint Stock Btin&ers' Manual. We will
quote another passage relative to bills, by which the
reader interested in such matters will see filet the book
is worthy of an attentive enerusal
One of the chief' sources whence a bank derives its
profits, is in the discount of bills. Bills are of two classes,
eommetcial and accommodation. The one is drawa against
goads, or other mercantile value—the other is for the pur-
pose of raising money to accommodate the- wants of one or
alt the parties upon it. The bills of a country banker may
be thus classed—bills drawn direct upon London—bills
made payable i.e London, and bills payable in the country.
These may be all good commercial bills, or there may be
accommodation bills mixed up with each class. . .
" Bills, whereter payable, drawn against value, are ob-
viously a in,,cti safer investment than bills drain between
parties for the mere purpose of speculation, or of raising
money.. The former are, of consequence, a sort- of legiti-
mate representation of good; or money, and readily circu-
late among merchants,-• but the latter are a spurious imita-
tion of something to vrhieh they bear no true relation, and
are universally rejected and discountenanced by all upright
and judicious men of business. This observation is to be
understood in a commercial sense. Bills were originally
invented as a. convenient medium of payment between mer-
chants, but the ingenuity of the age has eoevetted them
into a vehicle for raising capital and furnishing the means
of speculation. Iz would be a very useful and satisfactory
indication of the soundness of our commerce, were all banks,
private as well as Joint Steak, to exhibit a periodical re-
turn of the amount of bills on hand, distinguishing those of
a bona fide mercantile character from such as were known
or belioved to be for the purposes of accommodation.
" The respectability of a bank depends very materially
upon the quality of the bills Pent up to the London market;
and paper of.tte indifferent character, which may be passed
in:a period of prosperity when money is abundant, wiil me-
casion applications made at a different season, even with
Letter paper, to be viewed with suspicion and distrust, and
frequently produce to the hank much trouble and inconve-
&ence.

‘• Accommodation hills arc the very worst class of seen-
upon wh;cli a bank can invest money—and:4e objec-
tionable even when the parties are unexceptionable. Much
as they ate to be deprecated, however, as tending to sti.
ululate speculation and thereby injure the legitimate trade
of the district, bring ruin upon individuals, and ultimate
loss to tt.e bank, they are often the source of large profits.
" Accommodation bins bear certain ez• facie marks which
indicate at once their true claracter. They are generally
drawn for the largest sun- the stamp will carry—they never
express what they are drawn against—they arc generally
drawn :old accepted by parties residing in the same towu
or neighbourhood, and frequently bear the names
of par
tics having no relative connection in trade."

KELTY'S EARLY DAYS.
Mu vey and Darton, _London, 1840.
Tile volume before us, which is the production of a
lady. named Kelty, the authoress of the 'c Favourite of
Nature," a novel which was highly popular abnut ten or
1
a uozen years age, cousias .of biographical sketches,
interspersed with original reflections, of the early
founders of Quakerism. Of these memoirs, the most
interesting is that of Thomas Eilwood, from which we
. quote the 16i:owing particulars respecting, our great epic
poot,_related by-k:ilwood himself :—" 1 took a lodging
as near to Milton's house as possible ; and went every
day in the afternoon, except en the first days Of the
r;eek, Look sitting :by him in . Lis dining-room, read . to
I him is such books in tl:e Latin tongs-, as he pleased itt
I hear toe read. At my tioit sitting to read to him, ob.
servirg that I used the English pronunciation, he told
me, if 1 wenld.have the benefit of the Latin tongue,
nor nafy to read and understand Latin authors, but to
-converse with iereigners either abroad cr at home, I
must. learn the foreign pronunciation. Haviug a curious
ear, Milton understand by my tone when I understood what
I read,and when I did not ; and aclordingly he woeld stop
me, and examine me, and open the most difficult passages
to me. One day he called for a manuscript of his, which,
being brought, he delivered to mc, bidding me take it
home with me, and read it at my leisure ; and when I
had so done, return it to him, with my judgment
thereupon. When 1 came home, and had set myself
to read it, I found it was that excellent poem, " Para-
dise Lost." After I had read it through, I.made him
another visit, and returned him his book ; he asked me
how I liked it, and what I thought of it ; which I mo-.
destly but freely told him ; and after some further dis
course about it, I pleasantly said to him, ' Thou bast
said much here of Paradise lost, but what halt thou to
say of Paradise found ?' He made me no answer, but
sat some time in a muse ; then broke off that discourse,
and fell upon another subject. When occasion next
drew me to
.London, he showed me his second poem,
called " Paradise Regained," and in a pleasant tone said
to me, ' This is owing to you, fOr you put it into my
head.'" If we remember rightly, Johnson has alluded
to this conversation in his well-known lite of Milton.

OI3SER 1 A TIONS on the CORN-LAWS; Or,
BREAD for TIHRTI.7 MILLIONS of INHA-
BITANTS. WITHOUT the - IMPORTA-
TION of a SINGLE GRAIN of CORN, 4.c.

RI" CNAI?LES PUTT.

We know not Mr.• Putt, but we can pronounce, from
seeing his p,:mphlet, that his humanity and patriotism
are far superior to his knowledge. lie wishes well,
but he is no more capable of ascertaining how the wel-
fare of the nation can be promoted than a child. We
desire, as much as he doffs, to see the whole of' the
waste lands of the empire reclaimed, but the way to re-
claim them is to reduce the expense of cultivation by
abolishing the Corn-laws, Whether the laud be culti-
vated by band or by machinery the tax ou the bread of
the labourers, inflicted by the Corn-laws, is the great
impediment 'to extending cultivation. But to all the
nostrems proposed by well-meaning men, such as sub-
stitutinz hand labour for the 'work of horses, we hard
an insurmountable objection. They are adverse to the
progress of, society, which is marked by greater and
g.eater net products as the rewards of lcrs and less
labour. The nostrums would give us more produce, it
is said, bUt they would compel infinitely more labour•.
What men want is not labour, but food, and it is the
business of the unjust law-makers to remove the re-
strictions on the supply of food, not invent means far
adding to labour. Mr. Putt's Pamphlet is confused
as well as ignorant, though well meaning.

and from thence, over the hand-ragto the bottom of
the stairs; a distance of fourteen feet. The contents of the
stomach showed-that deceased bed been drinking spirits shortly
before death. Several witnesses proved that deceased had beeit
drinking all the latter part of the day previous to his death,
and that he must have'spent a sov,reign in drink, as he had one
in the morning, and only three hifpence were found in his
pockets atter death. V, idict-L., That deceased was found at
