MONEY MARKET.

A very strong wish is expressed on the part of isdivi-
duals connected with the large money transactions in the
City, that at the same time with the renewal of the Bank
charter some reform may take place in the mode of con-
ducting the public business, more particularly as regards
the transfer of stock, during the time that the books are
shut for the dividends. In the Bank of France, and
other great Banks on the Continent, no interruption to
such transfers takes place, even for a single day, and the
only new regulation introduced is, that after a particular
day, generally about three weeks before it is actually due,
all transfers of stock are made without the dividend, which
is payable only to the person who held it at the time the
books were closed. Our practice is--to exemplify it by
what is now passing in the current quarter—to close the
books of Consols on the 2d of June, and open them on
the 22d of July, a period of seven weeks, during which
no one can make a transfer of money stock without a
special order from the Court" of Directors. It is a well-
known fact, as was pointed out at the time, that in the panic
of 1825, which occurred during the shutting of consols, many
persons were ruined through the inability they lay under
of effecting a transfer of their stock, and, consequently,
of receiving the money for it. The Directors, on per-
ceiving the mischief, deviated in some measure from their
rule, but only for large sums, and, its general, the formal
application was deemed so odious and so troublesome, that
the relief afforded was nothing rear what it ought to have
been, or probably what the directors intended. What
our men of business want is, that the plan of the Bank of
France for the payment of the dividends on the public
debt, or sotne other to answer the same purpose, should
now be adoptod here, and they conceive that this is a
matter in which they may reasonably claim the support
of Lord Althorp, seeing that various simple modes may be
suggested of obviating the present inconvenience, which
will put the Bank to no additional expense of any moment.
If it were otherwise, however, that consideration ought
not surely to stand in the way of so great a public accom.
modation.

Another inconvenience complained of, in which, how-
ever, the Bank is not so immediately concerned, is the
long detention of Exchequer bills, generally eight days, at
the four quarterly periods when they are exchanged for
new ones, the effect of which is to cause all loans made
on such securities to be called in fn- the time, and to
make money scarce until the new bills are issued. All
this might be effected with ease in a couple of days, and
the inconvenience removed of which complaint is made.
To the immense money transactions of the city, perfection
in all the Government arrangements is a matter of the
highest importance, f:r to give facilities to business is, in
fact, to increase the circulation, and that in a way which
is perfectly legitimate.—Morning Toper.

HARD LANGUAGE.—I remember a tutor at
Cambridge, who bad been exardning some lads in Latin;
but in a little while excused himself, and said be must
speak English, for his mouth was very sore.—Sketches
of the Court of England (1741), by Horace Walpole.
The English, said Lord BYRON, know that
they are ennuyes, but vanity prevents their discovering that
they are ennuyeux, and they will be little disposed to
pardon the person who enlightens them on this point,
