NEW YORK NIONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY NIGHT, JAN. 24.—There was a fair amount of
business done in storks today, hut prices declined con-
sideral4. United States Bank Shares closed at 78, a fall
of 5 per cent. ; no doubt in consequence of the demonst: a-
tions made in the Legislature by the Lucifer Match or
Lucifer party against the institution. W. repeat, however,
our firm conviction that tiles,' corruseations will all end in
smoke. The credit of the State of Pennsylvania would be.
annihilated, its vast internal improvements stop. thousands
of men be thrown out of employ, and moat important in-
terests sacrificed, were the ostensible objects of the ene-
mies of the Bank really carried into effect. We do not
believe that they are in earnest, either in their conduct or
language, for most assuredly, if it were acted upon, the
total downfall of their party would follow, as a natural COI,
sequence of the universal dis!ress which would result from
the measures they advocate.
Operations to some extent were made today in bills on
London and Paris. In continental bills, however, trans-
actions were limited. The following arc the present rates:
Dollmrs.
London lO7l to 108
Paris
Amsterdam
Hamburg h 354 to 391
Bremen 72 to 794
Internal exchanges arc dull. The following. are the
rates of discount :

Philadelphia, 61 61 Union Miss., 20 21
Ba!timore, 6 61 Other Miss., nominal
Richmond, 7 71 Mobile, 61 61
Notes 7-i 8 Notes, 7. 8
Charleston, 31 3;1 New Orleans, 31 3
Notes, 3% 4 Notes, 4 61
Savannah, 5 51 Lou;sville, 10 12
Angeta, 8 81 Cincinnati, 10 12
Florida, 28 30 St. Louis, nominal.
The transactions in the Now York stock-market had
been motlerste, at daily declining prices.
The Shares in the Bank of the United States, which
had been quoted on the 20.1 i tilt at 85, had falen on the
24th to 78; 4 per cent. of this fail had taken place in
one day. This fall was partly accounted for by the pro-
ceeding in the Legi4ature of Pennsylvania respecting the
United Sates Bank, whose Charter it had been proposed
to abolish, as well as to camp .1 the banks to resume cash
payments. At Philadelphia, on the 24th ult., the shares
in the bank were quoted at 841.
The exchange oz. England for the packet stood at 1071
to 103 ; for bills draw n at the South, and not indorsed in
NC?' York, 106 to 1061 had been accvted. On France
the rate was sf. 30c , and at the close of the day 51. 271 c.

CELEBRATION OF HER MA-
JESTY'S WEDDING-DAY IN THE COUNTRY.

---
The provincial papers, as well as most from Scotland
L. a Ireland, are filled with detailed accounts of what
took place in their respective localities on Monday.
To give the whole of these accounts, or indeed any but
an exceedingly small number of them, is obviously im-
gossible. No newspaper certainly has space enough
for the most meagre notice of them all—they would fill
a volume.
NVe subjoin a few accounts, taken at hazard :
While we arc writing, Dublin is ail bustle in prepa-
ration for the illuminations on the Queen's marriage te-
night. The Four Courts, the Bank, the Custom-house,
the National School, &c. &c., are all in progress of
preparation. Lions and unicorns, harps, crowns, stars
and crescents--with Victoria and Albert—already stand
conspicuous and brilliant. What will they not be to-
night? There are general aspirations for a fine even-
ing—and if so, the scene will be splendid. May her
marriage be crowned with blessings to herself and the
country!—Pilot.
We are informed by a Correspondent that the au-'
spicious event of her Majesty's marriage to Prince Al-
bert has been celebrated this day at Hamilton, where,
by orders of his Grace the Duke of Hamikon, two
royal salutes of 21 shots each—the first in honour of
her Majesty—and the second in honour of Prince Al-
b •rt, were fired on the lawn in front of Hamilton
Palace, at twelve o'clock noon, from the pieces of
ancient brass cannon, which have belonged to the Ha-
milton family for upwards of three centuries. These
arc the cannon which were carried to the battle at
Langside, in 1568, by Lord Claud Hamilton, who,
with two*housand, of the followers of the Hamilton
family, fought there for Queen Mary, against the Re-
gent Murray. His Grace, at the same time, ordered a
large quantity of oatmeal to be distributed among some
hundreds of poor families in the town of Hamilton.—
Glasgow Chronicle.
We sincerely wish that our Sovereign and her chosen
Consort, may be blessed with a long and happy union.
That, before the termination of her reign, her Majesty,
may succeed in redeeming the pledge she gave on her
accession to the Throne, that it would be her " desire
to promote the amelioration of the laws and institutions
of the country." " Securing at the same time to all,
the full enjoyment of religious liberty; and promotive:,
to the utmost of her power, the welfare and happiness
of all classes of her subjects."—Eid.
The proceedings of yesterday, in honour Of her Ma-
jesty's marriage, were of a character to reflect great
credit on the loyalty and public spirit of the owe.
Every part of the celebration was marked by an car.-
nest, cordial, and kindly spirit, and, with the exception
of an address got up in secret, by the Tories, and con-
sequently made a party affair, we know of no eircum•
stance connected with this interesting occasion that was
inconsistent with good taste or good feeling. We trust
that when the hole-and-corner party address to our
" Protestant?' Sovereign reaches its destination, a know-
ledge of its history will procure for it the reception it
deserves.

The town of Hull is, we eoneeive„specially entitled
to the favourable conideration of Queen Victoria, our
former Chief Magistrate, Mr. Jailand, having been the
first Mayor who presented an address to her Maj,.!sty
nt Kensington. Nor is it to be forgotten that while,
in other large towns, the minds of the labouring popu-
lation have been irritated and disturbed by Charti,m,
here its propagators have been foiled by the superior
sense and constitutional principles of the people.
Our present Mayor has won
.for himself " golden
opinions," by his laudable endeavours to aid his fellow-
townsmen in giving a formal expression to their senti-
ments of respectful attachment to our young Sovereign.

GRAVESEND.—In the town of Gravesend a scene of
the greatest animation manifested itself. Throughout
the day the church bells told by their merry peals that
an event of no ordinary description was taking place.
In the evening several balls and dinners took plec'e,
and there were so.ne very neat and tasteful illuminatioes
in appropriate devices.
Rechester, Sheerness, Chatham, and Canterbury,
also expressed their joy at the auspicious event of her
Majesty's marriage by similar detnenstre tons.
ESITER.—The children of the National and Sunday
Schools were assembled in the large school-room, which
had been decorated with branches of -laurel and white
ribbons, the Royal initials V. A. occupying a conspicu-
ous situation. Plum cakes and negus were distributed
among the children, who drink '• Low.-' life and happi-
ness to her Majesty and Prince Albert," with three
hearty cheers. The health of her Royal 1--Fghtie.ss the
Duchess of Kent, who is a most liberal subscriber lo
the nation schools, wls also drunk with similar mani-
festations of respect and gratitude.
IlAanow.—This rural and sequestered village was
the scene of much rejoicing. The day was considered
as a holiday. The poor were provided with pro%Liols
at their own houses, and the charity children had also a
good dinner provided for them. In the evening the
vilage was very generally Eluminated, and bonfires and
fireworks were the order of the night.
UXBBIDGE.—In this town the poor were enabled to
participate in the festivities of the day by being sup-
plied with previsions at their own houses, from a fund
raised by the subscriptions of the inhabitants. The
shops were all closed at twelve o'clock, and the re-
mainder of the day observed as a holiday, while i t the
evening the principal inhabitants dined together in the
public rooms, in celebration of the auspicious event. An
address to her Most Gracious Majesty upon the occa-
sion of her marriage has been determined on.
Monday being the day appointed for the Queen's
Wedding, that auspicious event was celebrated here
with great rejoicing. The morning was certainly
unpropitious—the rain fell in torrents, and -matters
at this time wore a most gloomy aspect. Soon after
eleven o'clock the rain ceased ; the sun made its
appearance, and in a short time the streets became
thronged with holiday folks, whose joyous fee, s be-
spoke a determination of thorougley enjoying the day's
merry-making ; many of the shops remained closed al
day, but at twelve o'clock we do not think there %cis a
shop in the town but what was closed agreeably to the
request of our worthy Mayor. About this tune (the
hour appointed fos the Royal wedding to be solemnized)
the bells of the various churches were set ringing, acct
the salutes of some miniature artillery (repeated at ir-
tervals during the afternoon) re•echotai throughout the
town.
Dinner parties were heid at difTcrent Inns in the
town, and we can answer for many a bumper glass
having been emptied at the public and private and so-
cial boards, to the health, long life, and happiness of
our beloved Victoria, and the partner of her heart and
hand, Priacee, Albert of Saxe Coburg.
In the evening, about letlf-past six o'clock, there was
a good display of fireworks.—Hull Observer.
Her Majesty's lieges in Wisbeech were, we think, in
no respect behind their neighbours, as to the manner of
testifying their joy on the occasion of her nuptials. Oa
Mondry last the shops were c'osed at 12 o'clock,. and in
the evening a public ball, under the patronage of the
Mayor, Henry Leach, Esq., was given at the Exchange
Hall. The" Coinnlons," too, " tripped it on the light
fantastic toe,'' on the Market Hill, which was " bril-
liantly illuminated and carpetted" for the occasion.
This event w: s celebrated in Newcastle with every
mark of loyalty and respect which the short notice of
the c:rcumstances permitted. Early in the morning the
belis merrily rang a peal en the joyful occasion, and con-
tinued to do so at intervals during the day. The Quay
had an animated appearance, as there was not a ship,
we believe, which had not her colours hoisted. In all
a the parishes, we believe, a distribution of beef, bread, tea,
sugar, and such like necessaries were liberally supplied
to ail the poor on the b9oks, and many others besides
—the poor inmates of the wotithouses were regalt-d
with a plentiful and substantial dinner, and the chil-
dren in the various schools were presented with a
"'Victoria sixpence?' About noon the town ap-
peared unusually bustling, even for a holiday, and
nearly all the shops were then closed. On the
Sandhill the crowds of people begun to assemble
from all parts of the town, and shortly the
body of police, with their active superintendent, Mr.
Stephens, at their head, arrived, anti immediately cleared
a large space upon the bill for tne Newcastle Volun-
teers, who shortly afterwards arrived, preceded by
tlrr ceeellent band. At one o'clock the Mayor
and Common Council, with the officers of the
Corporation, descende 1 from the Guildhall, wearing
their official regalia and white favours on their
breast. A Royal salute was fired from the Castle,
which the volunteers answered with a " feu-dc-
joie," the hand playing the national anthem, after
which three hearty cheers were given for the Queen.
The cheering having somewhat subsided, the Mayor,
-
John Carr, Ezq.,. in a short and appropriate speech,
proposed " The Queen, and God bless her,"
which was
cheerfully received and enthusiastically responded to,
notwithstanding a solitary attempt to raise a cheer
in favour of the Charter, by exhibiting a placard from a
window, inscribed " Nine times nine for the Charter." The
wine was then handed round to the volunteers and the.
police, who pledged her Majesty's health. The crowd
assembled to witness the ceremony was exceedingly nu-
merous, and every part which commanded a view of the
place was crowded with anxious spectators, even the tops
of the houses, where a standing could be obtained, were
filled, and the appearance of that part of the town was
very imposing and interesting,--Tyne Pilot.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1840

NEWCASTLE UPON TINE, FEBRUARY 10, 1840.
—(Fito'st A CORRESPONDENT.)—The authorities of
the town announced that a Public Dinner would

be given, and that the Town Council together with
the police and military, would assemble at the
Sandhill to drink her Majesty's health. The working
classes on the other hand caused the walls of the town

to be posted with bills, setting forth the sum of money
voted to the Queen and her husband, its amount per
month, week, dly, hour, and minute, and calling upon
the masses to give their cheers for the Charter, instead

of this profligate expenditure. At one o'clock this day
the Procession of the Council, Police, and Military
took place, a royal salute was fired from the Castle, the
troops fired a feu de joie, the wine went round, and then
a call was made for three cheers for the Queen, but
strange to say, nut a hand nor a voice was raised save
those of the troops and civil authorities. The assem-
bled thousands bursting into loud laughter. At this
moment a large placard was suspended from one of the
principal windows, upon which wits inscribed in large
letters " nine times nine for the Charter." The mo-
ment it was obs?rved by the multitude, the cheeriag
was immense. It is very clear, Mit. Editor, that if the
Whigs do not speedily set about doing something for the
people, that the monarchy, as well as the other institu-
tions of the country will he looked upon with disgust
and contempt. The proceedings of this day must have
satisfied " the powers that be" that there is a spirit
abraad, which if not appeased, will shake the kingdom
to its centre. A public meeting took place at 2 o'clock
in the new lecture room, to memorialize the Queen to
grant a free pardon to Frost, Williams, and Jones ; the
place of meeting was crowded to suffocation, numbers
not being able to gain admittance. The meeting was
addressed by Messrs. Charlton, Currie, Lowrey, and
milers Tue memorial was unanimously agreed to,
and is presented to the Queen by Lord Brouzham ;
the meeting was then adjourned until next Monday
evening, when they will again assemble to hear the ae-
swer of the Queen. As another proof (if any more
were wanting) of the feeling of this district—on Wed-
nesday last a pubiie meeting was called in the village
of Swalwell by some of the influential inhabitants of
that place, to take into consideration the propriety of
illuminating iii honour of her Majesty's Marri ige. The
meeting took place, a working man was voted into the
Chair, and instead of a resolution to illuminate, one
was passed to enter a subscription for the support of a
Mr. James Ayre, who was arrested a f.iw days ago on
the charge of sedition ; the pa.rties who c died the
mewing never making their appearance. I consider it
a duty I owe to the community, and to the Govern•
meat, to let them know the true state of feeling in this
neiithbourhood.

MANCHESTER.—The weather, after a night of storm
and rain, was favourable. From nine in the morn-
ing the day was almost as fine as we ever saw it at this
season of the year, and the immense number of family
groups, clad in their best attire, by whom, from an earl
period of the forenoon, the streets were thronged,
showed that it was determined to enjoy the occasion as
a general holiday. Nothing coul.l be more gratifying
than to witness the general good feeling by which the
people appeared to be actuated, and their determination
to enjoy in the most rational way the brief period of lei-
sure afforded them. The chief scientific exhibitions
and museums in the town—the Natural History So-
ciety, the Salford Mechanics' Institution Exhibition, the
Botanical and Z mlogical Gardens, the Athenaeum, Bce.
—liberally threw their doors open ; and the immense
numbers who visited them in the course of the day formed
a practical demonstration of the value which was at
tachod to the privilege thus given. It affords us sincere
pleasure to add an attestation as to the orderly and
proper behaviour of the immense crowds who passed
through them. With such large numbers some trifling
irregularities and accidents were unavoidable ; but we
b2;ii!ve there a total absence of anything like wilful
injury, and that the general behaviour of the tens of
thousands.of the labouring classes who visited our insti-
tutions on this oceilion, furnishes an unanswerable ar-
gument in favour of those who are desirous to rends
them, at certain seasons, readily accessible to all.

Nor must we pals, without an expression of our grati-
fication, the result of a- Chartist experiment on the
occasion. It had been announced in tht Northern Star
of the 8:h inst., as the resolution of an assembly of
delegates, that " Monday, the 10th of February, should
be appointed as a day for giving national counsel and
advice to the Sovereign, through the medium of public
opinion and that, conformably with this determina-
tion, on that day, " public meetings should be held in
every district throughout the length and breadth of the
land," to petition the,Queen to grant a free pardon to
the three convicted Welsh rebe. What way have
bappcned elsewhere we know not ; but here the ex-
periment was a ridiculous failure. Tha " three
tailors cf Tooley-ttreet," immortalised by Canning,
were not a more ludicrous embodiment of the people

of England, than the handful Af Chartists who a,se-m-
-bled in Stevenson's-square on Mond.ty. Even the bulk
of their own party seemed to regard the meeting as most
ill-timed and absurd ; and when their numbers were at
the highest, these representatives of the public opinion
of Manchester, who took it uron them " to give na-
tional counsel and advice to the Se reign," never

amounted to five hundred persons. The whole pro-
ceedings were as flat as possible, and the meeting was
speedily brought to an end.
We have heard of nothing else at variance with the
proper business and enjoyments of the day ; which, we
repeat, passed over upon the whole in the most pleasing
and satisfactory manner. In the.evening, a number of
public and private establishments were illuminated, and
the streets in the centre of the town remained crowded
to a late hour. There was, however, a remarkable so-
briety and good feeling universally observable.—Man-
chester Guardian.
Yesterday (the Queen's marriage day) was quite a
jubilee here, and we believe throughout the whole
country. We have not witnessed any more cordial and
unanimous demonstration of public feeling since the
visit of George IV. All hearts seem,:d to beat with
one common sentiment of loyalty and affection towards
her Majesty ; and if id'nd wishes can make the Royal
pair happy, never did union bid fairer to realise all the
fondest hopes that the parties themselves as well as the
people
_anticipate from it,"--Edinburg,h Advertiser.
The marriage of the. Queen of England has been
celebrated with a spontaneous, deep, and universal en-
thusiasm, such as only a nation truly and constitu-
tionally loyal could exhibit.—Liverpool Courier.
The Queen's wedding day was celebrated at Steyri-
ing by the distribution, of about 200 stone of ox beef,
with proportionate quantities of flour, fruit, &c. to up-
wards of 150 needy families, who were regaled by the
voluntary contributions of their more affluent neigh-
bours, the Earl of Surrey making a very handsome
addition to the fund so raised. Aband of music para-
ded the town throughout the day, and a Tradesman's
ball "at the White Horse Inn in the evening gave
a very appropriate finish to a day so well and so auspi-
ciously begun.
Brighton has not taken so prominent a part in cele-
brating the happy event of her Majesty's marriage as
many of its best ,friends could have desired. It has
fallen short in that demonstration of loyal feeling which
the occasion called 'for ; and that falling off has been
caused by a peculiariey which we will now proceed to
mention. The High Constable, the organ of the in-
habitants, their medium for expressing the feelings
which actuate them, instead of conciliating the
respect of all parties, is trusted by none. He and
his office arc in the hands of the Tories ; the
Tories are not just now very loyal, because the emolu-
ments and patronaga of office are not theirs, and they,
therefore, did not care to move. '['he Liberals felt that
they could not place themselves on so delicate an occa-
sion in the hands of one who received and still holds his
appointment as the avowed tool of a political party now
seeking every opportunity to insult the throne and all
connected with it ; and they therefore did not get up a
requisition which under any other circumstances they
would have done. Brighton therefore has done nothing
worthy of itself on the present occasion.—Brighton
Guardian.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM DOVER, FEB. I.
We had yesterday quite a gala day, hut the weather
was sadly unpropitious, blowing hard and raining the
whole day. Almost all the shops were shut up, and
flags of every description waving from the windows and
tops of the houses, and many private dweling houses
decorated in the windows with wreaths and :arlands of
flowers. The children of the different charity schools
were paraded through the streets with flags and banners,
natwithstanding the state of the weather, the little
things huzzaing most lustily, at the same time wet
through to the skin.. At six o'clock the Mayor,
Alagistrates Aldermen, Councillors, military, visitors,
and principal residents, sat down to a very good dinner
in honour of the day, at the new Appoilonian Hell in
Snargate-street. This was a rc-union of all parties
without political distinction. The healths of the Queer!,
Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent, v.ere drunk
'with rapturous applause. The Queen Dawager's
`:health was also given, and. well received, in short the
:utmost harmony prevailed. The ball in the evening
g iven in honour of the Marriage, was crowded to ex-
c. Iss. All the most distinguished residents and visitors
tended.

STATE or TRADE.—There was no improve-
ment in the state of the market yesterday • the demand, both
for goods said yarns, was exceedingly flat, and lower prices were
very generally submitted.—Manchester Guardian.
