FROM THE MORAING PAPERS OF THIS PAY,
TIDIES.—The news from the United State=s thishas in itself produced no great effect on the publ c scurt,.es ;
but the market has been weakened by a large sale by parties
supposed to have American connections. As the same parties
had previously been speculating for the rise, this change
in their operations rather diminished the general confidence of
the jobbet s,who,:in their turn, offered Stock, so that the move-
ment of the day was downward, although the high prices from
Paris had in the first instance strengthened quotations.
Consols for Money o, ened 89k, receded to 89S, rallied to
89, and left off sellers; for the Account the opening price
was 90 to A, they then fell to 891, rallied to t-9L. and closed
891- buyers ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. werelait cooted
9SA.; India Bonds, par to 2 premium ; and Exelicquer BiPs,
9s. to Ils. premium.
With the rather reduced values of the English Stocks tl.e
Foreign Funds have sympathized, but no great• deal of business
has been transacted.

It is stated out of doors, that a price has been made in the
Stock Exchange for the bonds converted under the late decreer
issued by the Portuguese Government, and although not
quoted in the official list, was posted in the market for that
security as 284 to
The New York Papers state that the Money Ma, ket is n
a very singular position, those who have mo,c7 finding a citi-
cu:ty in iovesting it, and those who have roue being 61,1a,;erl to
pay high rates for it. The Southern Sicel,s, whether State
or corporate, are said to be unavailabl ~ while the ca-
pitalists, who have money they would willingly . in-
vest, abstain from so doing, from a want of con-
fidence in the securities that prestint themselves. Buy-
ing stocks fur money and selling them for time is said to hare
occasioned severe losses among many of them. With respect
to the Bill authorizing the suspension of the Pennsslvanian
Banks for 40 d ,ys, it gas brought from the State Senate on
the 161 of :larch, and read in the Ho..s.:t for the first time
without opposition. The resul, of the in.,-stigaticm of the
affairs of the Hinted States Bank by the Committee appointed
for that purpose was looked forward to wi h the grewcst
anxiety, as the appearance of the Report in April would
be the first satisfactory staternerrt of the condition in which
the Bank really stands, and is expected to bring ex-
traordinary affairs to light. The panic in the notes of the
lee Banks of the State of New York had spr. ad, and
during the last week the Bills cf no less than seven banks
'ere thrown out at Albany. The effect of the panic at Alb ar.y
which is described as very great, was the passing of an
Act by the Legislature to do away with the priority in pa,-
ment of notes first protested, so that the bill, are paid equal y
11-om the proceeds of securities. Many of the notes the
brokers have altogether refused to buy up, and it is sad to he
now generally ascertained that many of the b nks have been
the mere tools of speculators, one being especially mentioned
as basin.-' been started for the purpose of obtaining money on
ndiana Stock. Several were constantly expected to stop, and
were endeavouring to force their notes into the market at the
smallest possible discount, previous to the opening of navigation,
since, when trade fairly commences, the influx of bills into
the city of New York will cause a great discount. Then
it is supposed the banks will come irto the market, buy up
their own bills at the low rate, and make good the loss sus-
tained by the depreciation and sale of their stocks. The whole
appearance of the money-market, according to these journals,
is that of panic, anxiety, and thorough es ant of confidence
everrs here.
The papers from Buenos Ayres to-day extend to the 23d of
January. On the 22d there were in the port of Buenos Ayres,
197 vessels, of which there were 62 British, 35 American,
21 French, 17 Sardinian, 13 Spanish, 14 Brazilian, &c. The
exchange on England was quoted 2d.

SUN —Two or three causes were in operation to-day
to affect the value cf the English Stocks ; none of them
if a nature, as we ate inclined to believ6, to produce any
permanent depression in prices. We may mention, as one
cause, the uncertainty which still prevails with respect to
Mr. IVl'Leod, though various circumstances are in favour
of the amicable adjustment of this much sexed question.
Next comes the generally received opinion of a deficiency
being exhibited in the Revenue Accounts for the quarter
ended to day ; and, lastly, the Hebrew party were realising
their profits prior to the arrangement of their account& on
a safe basis, until the Passover is at an end.
For immediate transfer Consols realised 891 to
891, closing at 891 ; and for the account the first bar-
gains of the day were at an advance to 901, though
subsequently a re-action occurred to 8911 1, the last price.

premium, India Bonds par to 2s. premium, the New
Three-and a-Half per Cents 981 to 984, Bank Stock for

Foreign Stocks all bad a downward tendency, and the
same was the case with English Shares. Spanish Active

The following is an extract of a letter dated Fort George,
near Niagara, and which came to band by V.e North
America packet :
" We hPve bad a variety of rumours here regarding our
friend M`Leod being removed to Albany, but it is now
certain that no such removal will take place, and that when
the trial takes place it will be at Lockport. The State of
New York now positively refuses to pi-.e him up, and tl:e
Attorney-General may p`ead, but it will be in vain. It is
currently uported that the trial will be again postponed ;
but will the British Government submit to such treatme:;t
I believe the President would gladly release him, kit mon
law is the order of the day now, and it is impossible to say
what may occur. The Americans swear that they have
got additional evidence of his guilt, and that nothing short
of his conviction will follow. We arc all very anxious to
know e hat course the home Government will take, as the
State of New York has refuted to give him up, and lain
continue to do so, in spite of any course the President may
adopt."
An observation appears necessary after giving publica-
tion to the above statement. In the first place, the writer
is evidently somewhat under the influence of hat warmth
which his proximity to the scene of action may be sup.
posed to engender, and consequently does not ace every.
thing in an impartial light. If we understand the matter
rightly, there is no ,objection on the part of the British
Government to a postponement of the trial, supposing the
prisoner is tried at all, as there would their be more chance
el' a calm investigation, and evidence could, in the mean-
time, be procured from England. The Government here
have every reliance in the discretion of Mr. Fox, and, we
may add, in the good feeling of Daniel Webster.

MR: VINCENT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—Mr. Vincent, the Chartist, .who has been twenty
months a prisoner in the gaol of Monmouth, London, and
Oakham, is delivering Lectures on Chartism and Tee-
totalism in the Midland Counties. He delivered four
Lectures in the New-hall, Leicester, last week, to a nu-
merous and respectable audience.. His defence of Chart-
ism was masterly and eloquent, while his earnest appeals
to the working classes on the subjects of sobriety, morality,
and general intellgence, created a very great impression
on the minds of those hitherto opposed to the Chartist,
cause. At the close of the last Lecture Mr. Vincent ad-
ministered the Chartists' Teetotal pledge to 63 persons.
This week Mr. Vincent has delivered three Lectures in
our theatre to crowded audiences, especially the last two
nights. Having beard him in Leicester I attended these
Lectures, and from what I have heard and seen of Mr. Vin-
cent, I mu" confess myself a convert to Chartism, and I
find Mr. Vincent has been no less successful in many other
easeE. Here, too, 55 persons received the " Chartist
Teetotal pledge" at his hand. I think if the policy of
Mr. Vincent was generally adopted by the Chartist party
no power could long prevent the " People's Charter" be.
coming the " Law of the Land." I have just heard that
at the request of sea eral of the middle and working
classes of this town, Mr. Vincent has consented to
deliver two more Lectures on Easter Monday
and Tuesday night. The refusal of the landed aristocracy,
to repeal the infamous Bread-tax, is making many " Ch ar-
tists" amongst the midelle classes. The insertion of• this
in our valuable paper, will much oblige, Sir, yours re-
spectfully,
A MIDDLE CLASS TEETOTAL CHARTIST.

Nottingham, Aptil 3. 1841.
P. S. I beg to subjoin a copy of the " Pledge " Mr.
Vincent has administered,—" I, A. 8., voluntatily pledge
myself to abstain from the use of all intoxicating drinks,
that I will neither use them myself nor offer them to others,
but, I will do all in my power to discourage their use,
and further pledge myself to atall lawful aid constitu-
tional means to cause the ' Peeples Chaim.' to become the
law of the land."
