n • ~onnell has kept up for so long a period. The
%iranr4.e bigotry of the old Dublin Corporation, and the
aens'iless raving for repeal should fall together, and be
interred in one common grave."
The following is from the Sherborne Journal:—" 'We
have this week the high gratification of announcing the
firth of a Prince of Wales. Such a gladful event dis-
PCs the gloom which would otherwise arise from the
'depression that we hear of in the manufacturing districts;
And it will, in all probability, prow: a lucky card for Sir

STAT.XSTICSI.
h.oi.e"! Population of Rome has lung been 'matter of dis-
1. but the most unexaggerated statement is perhaps
,
:—lt appears from the very learned and
trate researches of M. Dureau de la Mane (Econo-
"°Mtblique des Romains), that the area of Rome, in -
,tr"ed within the walls of Aurelian, which have been
to td and laid down with the utmost precision, amounts
811 about 3-sths the area of Paris ; and the fair pre-
offil,Ptioa is, that its population, as compared with that
of /tar's, would be in a less proportion. The population
nine, including its suburbs, in its most flourishing
Period '
may be fairly estimated, allowing for troops and
so `nets, at betweea.s6o,ooo and 570,000. How small
cleer it may apneix-when contrasted with the statements
o: have bjen long current as to its vast magnitude. a
110`,.„1/'ati°n of 600,000 is really immense for a city like
without either manufactures or trade, and the in-
tli,ltants of which chiefly depended for subsistence on
totagreitnitous distribution of the corn supplied by the
illered province&

MONEY and COMMERA,IAL NEW

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

There has been less business doing in the Stock
Market to-day, and prices were not buoyant, though
they kept up to yesterday's range. The Three-and-a-
Half per Cent. Stocks were less dealt in. For immediate
transfer Consols realised 89 to 89*, and for Account 89*
to 89+, Exchequer Bills were in brisk request at 13s. to
10s. prem., for those stamped as genuine; both large
and small loans in the Stock Exchange were obtained
at four per cent. upon the deposit of this security.
Bank Stock was worth 164 to 165, and India Stock 245*
to 246*. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were
were 991 to 99i.
The Foreign Market was very quiet, and no alteration
occurred in prices requiring special comment. Spauish
Active Bonds were dull at 29* to 298 ; Mexican
Bonds, brought 25* ; Colombian, 119+ ; Brazilian, 57*;
Chilian, 71 ; Austrian, 1081; and Dutch Fire per
Cents. 99+ to 99+
The ReilWai, Shares were steady in value to-day.
Great Western realized 15 to 14+ ; the New, 7; Bir-
mingham 67 to 68 ; York and .North Midland, 34 ;
and South Western, 14* premium. Brighton were
124 ; Blackwell, 16 ; Eastern Counties, 15* ; North
Midland, 35; the New, 8; and South Eastern and Dover,
23 discount. Australian Bank Shares were 104 to 11 ;
and London and Westminster, 1+- to 1* premium.
The Foreign Exchanges were firmer, but no particular
alteration occurred. Pails was
,25f 678 c. to 72ia. ;
Hamburgh, 13 10 to ; and 'Trieste, 953 to 54.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 11.—We have
again to notice a very beery business in the Cotton
Market, the sales not amounting to more than 3,000
bales, all to the trade, with a tendency to farther redue-
tiun in prices.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, Nov. 11.—The trans-
actions at the Stock Exchange are—ln Eastern Counties,
7:1 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 43+ ; Great North of
England, 64 ; London and Birmingham Quarter Shares.
211,1 ; Ditto 32/. Shares, 52* ; North Midland Thirds,
14* ; North Midland, 75*; Manchester and Leeds Quar-
ter Shares, 22i.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 11.—There
is no improvement to note to-day, though business might
have been, transacted -at late quotations, generally.
Sales have been made in London and Birmingham; Old,
at 158, and Quarters at 214; London and South Western
may be quoted 52* to 53 ; South Eastern and Dover,
19* to 20 per share.
There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter.
The English Stock Market opened rather flat. Con-
sols are 89* sellers for Money, and 89* buyers for the
Account. Exchequer bills have improved to 10, 13
prem.; business was done at the latter quotations yes-
terday afternoon.
Although Spanish Stock comes 1 per cent. higher from
Madrid, it has but little effect upon the Market here at
present ; the Active Stock which closed last night at
21* 4, is now quoted at 21+ i; Deferred, 108 "*; Passive,
44 5; Portuguese Five per Cents., 291 30; Ditto, Threes,
17.1 181.4„ 4

There has been but little business doing in the English
Funds. Consols 898 89 for Money, and 89“ for the
Account ; Three per Cents. Reduced. 88 878 ; Three-
and-a-Half ditto, 98 97 a ; Bank Stock, 165 164 ; New
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities, 998 I ; Ex-
chequer bills, 11 13 10 ; the market looking downwards.
There been a fair business doing in the Foreign Se-
curities. Spanish Active Stock is now 21i ; Deferred,
I 0 ; Brazilian Bonds firm, 578 ; Colombian, 191 ; Mexi-
can, 25-.4 ; Portuguese, Five per Cents., 298 ; Dutch
Two -and-a-hlalf per Cents., 518 ; Ditto, Fives, 994 991-.
Not much doing in Shares, and but little alteration to
notice in prices.—Great Western, 794 ; Ditto New, 57;
Ditto Fifths, Bf-, 4 ; London and Brighton, 374 364 ;
London and Birmingham, 157 ; South Western, 53 ;
South Eastern and Dover, 194 20.
The Hamburgh mail clue to-day has not yet arrived.
No alteration to notice in prices.
The fine weather, cheering as it is, does not prevent
the anticipation of a gradual decline in the duty on
foreign corn, before the spring fairly sets in, until
the minimum rate is attained, and this is likely to prove
another disturbing cause in the Money Market, as re-
gards the Foreign exchanges. In the meantime,
the receipts of silver from South America have been of
material relief, as a remittance to the Continent; but
these we cannot always hope for. We perceive that
our contemporary, the Chronicle, has wisely taken up a
point to which we drew attention under this head so=e
short time back, viz., as to the effect which damp and
inferior wheats, under the present system, are allowed to
have upon the official averages. It is evident such parcels,
being unfit for consumption, do not afford a fair
basis upon which to calculate the average value of food,
since a party going into the market to buy such an article
as was proper for human food would find that he must pay
considerably higher for it. In this way foreign corn is
kept from us, when domestic grain of good
quality is in reality so high, as to justify a lower range
in the scare of duties.

DERBY MEETING OF MANUFACTURERS.--
A public meeting of the hosiery manufacturers and
others, engaged in trade in the Midland Counties, will
be held in Derby, on Thursday, the 9th day of Decem-
ber next, when a full exposition of the present state of
trade in the counties of Derby, Nottingham, and Lei-
cester, and the condition of the operatives, will be made;
a plan of co-operation will be then adopted, to facilitate
the repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, and a general
reform of our commercial system. From the high stand-
ing and ability of the parties expected to attend, we an-
ticipate a great treat for the friends of commercial free-
dom, and we most fervently hope their endeavours will
be crowned with success.—Derby Reporter.
During the early part of the week Clifton was
honoured with a visit from Lord Lowther, the Post-
master-General ; and we have heard that the Pier, at
Portishead, has been since visited by several official
gentlemen connected with the packet department.—
Bristol Mercury.

We learn -by letters received yesterday from
Glasgow, dated the 9th inst., that since that day week
a number of failures had taken place in that city. Among
the more important houses, seven have been named to us
with the supposed amount of their liabilities, but we have
deemed it advisable to withhold the particulars. In the
meantime we may observe that these failures have added
greatly to the existing apprehensions in that important
commercial mart.—Chronicle.
OXFORD, Nov. 10.—INCENDIARY FIRE.—
This morning, about five o'clock, an extensive fire broke
out in a large farm-yard belonging to i\ Ir. Gale, of Cud-
dekcien, near this city, and within a short distance of the
Bishop of Oxford's palace, which in the course of a short
tune destroyed a large quantity of valuable property,
consisting of four wheat and hay ricks, two barns, one
of which contained near 3,000 sacks of potatoes, and the
other a quantity of wheat ready for market. The fire
was first seen issuing from a corner of the barn, and
owing to the wind, and not havien

rapidity of the fire, when they arrived they were of btit
little service. The estimated loss is about 3,000/., part
of which, we understand, is insured in the County Fire:
office. We regret to add that there is no doubt of its
being the work of an incendiary.
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—Orders have
been received in our dockyard this day to get 12 ships
ready for sea immediately; four of them to be of 50 guns
each. In consequence of this order a number of addi-
tional workmen have been taken on, and the black-
smiths ordered to work three hours longer each day.
The Pique arrived at Spithead to-day from Halifax.
The Illustrious was towed out of harbour this day. In
I honour of the birth of a Prince of Wales the Royal
standard was displayed on the bastions, semaphore,
1 King's-rooms, and other public establishments ; and in
i the afternoon a grand review took place at Scuthsea. The
73d Regiment was brought over from Gosport by means
of the floating bridge, and, with the 32d and 34th Regi-
ments, under the command of Sir Hercules Pakenham,
fired several feus de joie.
