MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

(TUESDAY EVENING.)
CHRONICLE.—Out of doors there is a general
complaint of the tightness of money, where it is worth
fully six per cent. in the discount market. On the
Stock Exchange money is particularly easy, being worth
only about three per cent. on Consols, and five per cent.
the outside rate in the Foreign House. This state of
the Money nirket is the consequence of the lute reso-
lution of the Bank of England, which, by causing ca•
pitalists to expect lower prices, by limiting credit and
speculation—prevents them from nuking investments.
Money is, therefore, offered freely for short periods on
Consols, while the same cause creates a scarcity of it
on commercial paper.
The rule of the Bank of England, restricting dis-
counts to hills having sixty-five days to run, has been
followed up by the large joint-stock banks, and will, no
doubt, be generally adopted by all other banking esta-
blishments throughout the country. These operations
must be attended with a heavy contraction of the cur-
rency ; but, on the other hand, the harvest has been on
the whole a favourable one, and the agricultural dis-
tricts, with a comparative!), high price of corn, have u
low price for labour. We shall also, most probably.
have a general fa 1 in the prices of consumable commo-
dities. so that the farmers will be enabled to purchase
largely to supply their wants. These increased means
of the agriculturists will act favourably, by giving a sti-
mulus to the reta.l trade ; and we observe that the
trader report from the woollen districts is favourable.
From fiuddersfitdd, Leicester, and Leas OA accounts
seen altogether satisfactory. Tne increase in the va-
lue of money, by lowering prices, will probably give a
healthy turn to our export trade, by inducing a demand
from the Continent, and bring about better accounts
from Manchester.

HERALD.—The news (*the compulsory alAlica'

tion of the Queen Regent of Spain had an unfavour-
able eff,ct on Peninsular Stocks. The reivon of this is
not exlctiy apparent, for to the bondholders it can be
of little signification whether Christina is ruler or Ser-
geant Gare:a and ETartero, since in tit:: one case a!
the other nod vidends can be forthcoming on the bonds,
and still lets can there be hopes of any when a succes-
sion o! new and famished storks sueeevd day by day in
the government to those who, having been gorged at the
expense of the bondholders might have Leen inclined
leg-like to remain quiescent white some small amount
of justice was dispensed to them. Some persons arc
tliiposed tq attach importance to the reported arrival
of Mendizabal at Paris cn route for London, but it is

itficult to understand how any man, even if gifted with

the financial abilities of a Pitt, or the shifty skill of an
Ouvrard, could extract anything like hope out of the
desperation of Spanish finance.
Some teports have been current in respect of a late
Hebrew failure, or suspension of payments, out of
the Stock Exchange which it may be right to rectify.
It is pretended that the deficiencies of tha party have
been paid only partially, that is with a preference: of
some over other creditors. There can be little d ffi-
eulty from the high respectability of the temporary
defau:tcr himself, to say nothing of bis connections,
who are of the very first standing in the City, in dis-
cr'•diting rumours which cannot f,.il to be annoying to
all concerned. In is understood on the contrary,
among those most interested, that arrangements are
in progress for a full and satisfactory l'quidation of all
claims, which it may be inferred was from the first a
mere matter of time and not at all of doubt.

TIME73.—By advices from flamburgh the price o'
gold is 427 per mark, which at the Eaghalt Mint price
of 3/. 17s. 100. the ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13 6, and the exchange at Hamburgh on
London at short being 13. 3i, it follows that gold is
1.18 per cent. dearer at Himburzh than in London.
The premium on gold at Paris is 6 per milk, which,
at the English Mint price of 81. 17s. 101 d. the ounce
for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 30. and the
exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 10, it
follows that gold is 80 per cent. dearer at Paris than in
London.

The course of exchange at New York on London is
1081 per cent., and the rate of exchange between Eng.
land and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 1.07 per cent. against England, but
the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60
days' sight, the discount on these 60 days must be de-
ducted from the aforesaid difference.

SUN.—There was an improvement in the Foreign
Exchanges, although, on reference to the statement
below, tgC. exports of the precious metals are gin con-
siderable. On-Paris bills were taken at 25f. 42 e.. to
Clic., on Amsterd-tm at 12 2, on Hamburgh at 13 7i
to and on Trieve at 10 1.
There was no clue discovered to the rumours preva-
lent in the City respecting the assassination of Louis
Philippe ; but the funds were ra.her depressed by it
all day.

Consols receded from 87 to 864, closing at 86} to,
for immediate transfer, and for the account they fell
from 871 to 87, leaving off at 831 ; Exchequer Bills
were at 2 to 3 premium, being a shade lower. India
Stock opened in the morning at a rally from 241 A. to
243 i, but subsequently gave way to 242 i ; Bank
Stock declined from 164 and 162 to 1611. The New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. realized 661 to 961, the
Reduced Three-and-a-Half to 9.54, and the Reduced
Three per Cents. 851 to 851.
The Foreign Stocks were all dull, apd even Spanish
Bonds were not rendered active by the important news
from Paris, and which, indeed, was rather anticipated
by some of those in the secret of State intrigues in
Spain. The Active Bonds fell from 22 to 21+ to
21, and the Deferred from 10+ to Colombian
Six per Cents. declined from 228 to 22, and 22+,
Mexican Six per Cents. from 26;; to 261 to 1, and
Brazilian were at 72i. Portuguese New Fr' o per
Cents. went down from 324 to 31+. Russian Sunk
improved from 1091 to 110, and Dutch Twe-and-a-
Half per Cents. depressed frcm 4.91 to 49i, and 49.
The Railway Shares were all at reduced prices, fol-
lo:ving in this respect the mark of Stocks. The more
current quotations were, for the Great Western Fifth
Shares, t 2 premium ; for the London and Birmingham.
63 to 65 premium ; for the Alanchester and Leeds, 10
premium ; for the York and North Midland, 13 to 14
premium ; and for the S mth Western, 101 to 111
premium. The Brighton were at 12:1, the Blackwell
at 41, the Greenwich, New, at 4, the North Mid-
land at 22, and the South Eastern and Dover at 18i-
discount. Australasia Bank Shares were at 18 pre-
mium, ex dividend ; Colonial Bank. at 11i premium ;
London and Westminster Bank at 24 to 24 premium ;
and Union Bank of Australia at 7 premium.
The following is the official return of the exports of
the precious metals from the Port of London in the
week ending Thursday last :

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
In one of Hazlitt's Essays a story is told of same'
man of vulgar effrontery, who, when he felt himself hit
hard by argument or retort, invariably replied, " The
same to you, Sir." What could be done with such an
antagonist? Either the extruation must be allowed to
pass as a triumphant one, or the original argument be
repeated in infinitum; or the trick just pointed out to
the bystanders, and there left. Thus stands the case
between us and the Times as to its recent merciful al-
lowance of "another Session or tee to the present Ad-
ministration. We have demonstrated its own falsifica-
tion of its own assertions. The proof is complete.
The entire article in question went on the assuMp-
eon of a continuing Parliamentary support, derived
from the admission of open questions. We showed
that the assumption was far too plain to be got rid
ef by any verbal ambiguities or disputed construc-
tions. We have fixed its own falsification upon the
Times, and, like Hazlitt's acquaintance in the story, all
that the proof elicits is the brazen and brainless le-
joinner, c, The same to you, Sir." For the present,
the Times has returned to its previous position, that
the power of open questions in uniting the Liberal
party is defunct ; that the Ministry is virtually out,
only holding office till some day, not yet named, before
Easter next ; that the Tories are virtually in, and on
the aforesaid not-named day before Easter will be in de
facto ; and that they really are capable of carrying on
the Government, and " hanging together for more than
six weeks." The great secret of their prolonged contin-
gency of a prospeet btiot,,, that a Tory Ministry will
have no open questions. Me open questions! What,
will the Duke of Wellington eat his own protest
against the Canadt Bill ? the Grahams
and Gladstoncs withdraw their own patronage from the
virtuous well-poisoners of the celestial empire, and peril
their souls with the guilt of an opium war ? Will Sir
Robert Inglis abandon the Church's claim upon too
people'sithoney ? Will Mr. Walter go into Parlia-
ment to support a Government that supports an in-
famous Poor-law? Will Ireland cot be disfranchised,
or will the Emancipation Act not be repealed? The
present Tory party, supporting It Tcry Ministry with-
out open questions, would be the most glaring exhibi-
tion of utter unprineipledness that the history of party
has ever recorded. All that is true and honourable id
the country must Lai, if such a Government can stand.
And yet, hoN could it stand, if on these topics it should
allow of open questions? On either hypothesis, its
continuance is precluded by that entire want ef moral
power which has hitherto kept the Tories out of office,
in despite of numbers, actisits, unscrupulousness, and
party organisation, such as have never before allowed a
party to remain a tenth of the time in opposition.
(From the Morning Herald.)
The number of open, and what may be called noon-
day attempts which have been made on the life of
Louis Philippe, constitute a remarkable feature in the
reign of the " Citizen King." Such a series of regicidal
attacks, befell neither of his immediate predecessors
Louis XVIII. and Charles X., who did not assume to
reign by the choice lit £be people, but by hereditary
right. On this subject the Journal des Debats com-
tnents in the following strain :—" The enemies of order
and public peace may In satisfied,—the proceedings of
radicalism have produced their fruit,—the party of
insurrection and anarchy have just had their.fifth re-
gicide (if we mistake not it is the sixth in the present
reign). We do not know while we are writing whether
our grief or indignation be strongest. We are indig-
nant as subjects and defenders of the Constitutional
Monarchy, that the arms of an assasrin should have
been raised against the sacred head on which repose the
dearest interests of the country. What! is it at this
moment when France is isolated frog: the rest of Europe,
and menaced in her dignityandinfluencc,—when she is in
need of all her strength, and a common interest demands
the union of all parties,—is it such a moment that the
passions of anarchy have chosen for an attack upon the
august chief, in whom arc concentrated in the eyes of fo-
reign Powers all the greatness, all the power, all the
strength of the country? Yes ; France will shudder at the
crime which has just been committed, for this crime
weakens her. Her enemies abroad, while they curse the
crime in the name of humanity and morals, will rejoice at
it, for it bring them iirgfit." Now to what " enemies

POST.—S:niste.r rumours concerning King Louis
Philippe were current in the City to-day. It was con-
fidently stated throughout the morning ti at his Ma-
js:sty had at length fallen by the hand of an assassin,
and the English funds declined in consequence, consi•
derably. As, however, the rumours allurbd to were
not confirmed by a late edition of either of the jour-
nals, the Stock Exchange, is, for the moment, made
responsible for them as impudent fabrications founded
possibly 'Upon nothing more substantial than the less
favourable quotations received from the Paris Bourse.
The news obtained through the morning papers of the
abdication of the Spanish throne by Queen Christina,
although such an event has been long expected,
served rather to increase the gloom than otherwise, as
it is considered that such a movement cannot but be
attended with other important changes in the political
world.
