letters to the President of the Council of the Empire,
and the President of the Council of Ministers, direct-
ing them to hasten the revision of the constitution,
and to submit a report on it without delay.
The Assembly of Citizens of Bremen have resolved
to send, in the name of that city, a stone with a suit-
able inscription for the monument about to be erected
at Washington in honour of WASHINGTON.
A letter from Hamburgh of the 21st states that a
master tailor of that place named RUSSOB, a Hun-
garian by birth, and a Hungarian count named Po-
TOCKI, recently arrived from London, had been ar-
rested at Rendsburg and brought under escort to
Hamburgh. It appears that POTOCRI, who was an
officer i❑ the army of insurrection in Hungary, had
fled after the disasters of KossuTH to Paris, and then
gone to London, from which place be had written to
Russo to join him at Rendsburg. One of the
charges against them is said to be that of attempting
to seduce Austrian soldiers in garrison at Hamburgh
from their duty.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken
for export and 1,000 on speculation; there was more
Cotton offering but the market closed firmly,
American nearly id. above Friday's rates,. Surat
was also rather dearer. Other kinds without alteration.
The sales consist of about 5.500 American, 800 Per-
nam and Marauham, chiefly at 54d., 200 Bahia at 5,1.
to sid., 300 Egyptian at 54d. to 7d, and 60 Sea Islands
at Is. 00. to Is. sd. per lb.—The Share Market was not
quite so good.

At Liverpool Messrs. Pryde and Jones and Messrs.
Hamden and Co. have suspended. The liabilities are
considerable.

The first monthly meeting, or soiree, of the members
of the Bankers' Institute took place last evening, and
knowing that two hundred persons had already paid
their subscriptions, we were not surprised at the
very numerous and highly respectable attend-
ance. Mr. Gilbert occupied the chair, ever
ready to give a helping hand to undertakings
calculated to improve the moral and intellectual posi-
tion of young men engaged in mercantile pursuits. It
be especially gratifying, however, to find the chief men
in our metropolitan banking establishments aiding the
movement; for among the honorary officers we find the
names of Sir Moses Montefiore, James Wilson, Esq.,
M.P., Arthur H. Heywood, Esq., and others.
The paper read at the meeting last evening was upon
a subjt ct of special and practical interest to bankers and
merchants—viz , how far the security of bankers' locks
is affected by the picking operations of Mr. Hobbs, and
certainly it elicited on the part of Messrs. Chubb, Bra-
mah, and Hobbs, the most interesting demonstration of
the improvements made in locks that has been afforded
for a long time. Without entering into details,
we may state the impression that seemed
to prevail among the auditors, viz., that the English
locks are perfectly secure against the most accomplished
burglars; but that Mr. Hobbs can pick them, unless the
new improvements should foil him. On the other hand,
no proof is given that Mr. Hobbs's lock is capable of
being opened, and carefully attending to his explana-
tions last evening, we should say it cannot even by him-
self, if he allows a stranger to lock it. Certainly this
constitutes a great claim to the favour of the banking
interest, as if the cashier of an establishment is to be
made liable, ho alone should possess the key, and with
it the power of altering the lock every night, which by
a simple adjustment of the key he could do. In fact,
as Mr. Hobbs explained the matter, it is the " key
makes the lock," for the latter adjusts itself to
all the combinations—and they amount to some millions
—of which the former is susceptible. Even the accidental
leaving out of the keys, a serious oversight, no doubt, but
probably too common, would not endanger a strong
room secured with Day and Newell's lock, for easy as
it is to take an impression, this would be useless when
there was no certainty that the key would not be
adjusted daily to a new combination. Mr. Chubb
has incorporated a new patent, viz., a moveable plate
upon his present locks, and this effectually shuts up
the key-hole and prevents examination. Mr. Bramah
employs steel for the internal finishing of his locks, and
other safeguards such as he has used for years, but which
were not in the lock made nearly half a century since,
and opened by Mr. Hobbs. We feel that great advan-
tage will result to all parties from this trial of skill.
Improvements will be made on the one hand,
perfection may not even yet have been obtained
on the other, and public attention will bo cape
cially awakened to the fact that three-fourths of the
locks sold as those of our best makers aro not theirs.
The patent of Messrs. Bramah having expired, the
worth of their locks rests upon later improvements and
excellence of workmanship, not upon excessive cheap-
ness. At the monthly meeting in January there will be
a paper read on the law and practice of crossed cheques.
The Medway steamer is announced as having arrived
with the West India mail and 2,000,000 dollars.
The letters from the Continent are not of interest this
morning.
The following is sent to us from the Committee of
Spanish Bondholders :

" Madrid, Nov. 20, 1851.
"My dear Sir,—l have to thank you for the commix,
nications contained in Mr. Collett's letter of the 13th,
and hope that you will have come to a reciprocal satis-
factory agreement with Senor Borrajo respecting the
conversion, and that the issuing of the committee's
coupon certificates will, at a more or less distant period,
facilitate the definitive settlement of these sacred claims.
" I remain, my dear Sir, your most obedient Servant,
" DANIEL WEISWEILLER.
" James Cape!, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of
Spanish Bondholders, London."
Bills of Exchange on the principal continental cities
were taken yesterday afternoon at full price 3 for the
pound sterling, 90 days, viz., Paris 25 30 to 32k, a
shade dearer, Amsterdam 11 181 to i; Hamburgh 13
10 to and Trieste 12 50 to 54.
Stocks have gone lower, and business is conducted on
a more limited scale both for Transfer and Account.
The state of affairs at Paris is a drawback, and
although our money market should not be directly
affected by it, the political embarrassment of a
neighbouring country cannot be a matter of indifference
to us. Consols have realised 98} for Money, and

Mexican Bonds have been at 23:11 to 24. The private
accounts, by way of New York, are very unsatisfactory
concerning the position of the Republic, both financiall)
and politically. Sardinian Bonds are quiet at 844.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 59k, and

It is stated that a compromise of the case between
the Board of Customs and the St. Katherine Dock Company
has just been effected. The particulars have not transpired,
but it is to be hoped they will prove less objectionable than
those lately published with regard to the London Ducks.
The weekly reviews of the Amsterdam and Rot-
terdam produce markets state that the demand for coffee was
limited to the wants of local consumption, and that in the
meantime prices had experienced no essential change. Very
little had been done in sugar, spices, rice, or indigo, business
generally remaining inactive. From Hamburgh the advices
speak of the complete absence of speculation, and the mani-
fest indisposition to increase operations before the close of
the year.
