MONEY MARKET A AlO CITY NEil S.

CITY, Two o'CLocff.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have shown rather less
activity, the advance in the rate of discount having
in some measure interfered with speculative trans-
actions. A fair amount of business has been done
ill tea, and the finer sorts have realised
higher rates. Sugars have been dull, and
the small amount of business transacted has been
for immediate consumption. A large quantity,
however, is announced for public competition dur-
ing the next few days. For coffee there has been
scarcely any inquiry ; holders, however, demand
late rates. In rice the dealings have been ex-
tremely limited, with no alteration to record in
prices. Saltpetre has been in active request, and
the finer descriptions have improved in value.
Tallow has been steady, but only a limited amount
of speculative business has been transacted for
forward delivery.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
moderate amount of business was transacted, and
prices of all descriptions were unaltered. The sales
were estimated at 8,000 bales.

It has been decided by the Committee of the
Stook Exchange that Friday next shall be a special
settling day in the New Canadian Loan, in the
registered shares of the London and Mediterranean
Steam Navigation Company, and in the Universal
Marine Insuranco Company; and it has also been
ordered that the registered shares of the London
General Omnibus Company, and of the Worthing
Mining Company shall be officially quoted.

A steady demand still prevails in the money
market, but bankers and brokers, having ample
means at their disposal, negotiate first-class bills as
low as 21 per cent.

The efflux of gold from the Bank of England
continues active in consequence of the demand for
eZportation and the inadequate supplies received
from Australia. About £46,000 was withdrawn
Yesterday, and if the movement should continue a
further advance in the rate of discount may speedily
take place.
There is an inactive market for Public Securities,
Which, however, continue flat, iu consequence of
the efflux of gold, and the possibility of an ad-
'ranee. Consols for transfer are 941 1, and 951
for the account. The New Threes and Reduced

THE MALVOLIO OF TILE CHURCH.

_ Dean Close is at the pump again. He puts up at
,ne sign of Aquarius as punctually as the sun
himself. Just at this festive season, the Dean is as
regular at the Carlisle Temperance Society as Tony
.I.‘ Umpkin was at the Three Pigeons, roaring his
irreverent opposition song— •
When Methodist preachers come down
A-preaching that drinking is sinful,
I'll wager the rascals a crown
They always preach best with a skinful.

" Merry Carlisle " has a just cause of
action against her Dean for trying to rob her
ther ancient character for good-humour. He
Ist%

watery diocese of Bath and Wells, or perhaps
Cork
would be a fitter promotion for so determined
stopper cf bottles. With what propriety, we
th
vi°1111:1 like to know, do these societies call them-
illYes after the virtue of temperance ? We ask
0 question because, if there is one thing abused
, re than another at their meetings, it is tempe-
tik4ce itself. We should all join them in denoun-
:lS excess, but they are just as intolerunt of mode-
il:°ll. A temperance society means a society to
„.6 down temperance. Only listen to the Dean.
41a is Christian friends had no idea of the extent
ramifications of the misery occasioned in this
es:l4
aotry not by drunkenness, but by drink—by the
g itself, by that which intoxicates." The fai-
t, eY here is too palpable to need exposure; drink,
!`` the thing itself," is not a convertible term with
althat which intoxicates," for a moderate glass of
°r wine has no such effect, so that, in denoun-
:4 it, the Dean is really denouncing one of the
ordinal virtues. And he does it so intemperately
4
t° speak in the following irreverent strain of
toe Bible itself, because he finds it impossible to
, tee either its precepts or examples into his service.
I,e did not care what they call it, or what the
;Ie might call it, but it was the something that
‘} people drunk, whatever that might be, only
: Was not water." Here is the style in which an
hliMgelical divine of the first mark, or more pro-
perly the first water, talks of the Bible, when he
b'„,.1.8 to wrest it to his purpose. The Scriptures
iL"‘ only indirectly sanction but expressly prescribe
moderate use of the very thing which Dean
value
tells mankind they must not touch as they
its4lue their immortal souls. The Dean only wants
it44° Power to turn our wine into water ; but we
• 11" r Who it was on a jovial occasion performed
jitust the opposite miracle; and we know also who
thwe as that, with the wine-cup in his hand, ordained
solemn rite most distinctive of Christianity.

, fortunately for Dean Malvolio it is the
juice the

grape ; yet he has the hardihoodito call
It " an artificial
an to take, and w
drink which God never intended
which man only drank to his own
Misery."
The Dean went on to say—‘, he had often thought
People appeared stupid, and when he came to ask
the cause, the answer was Drink." Water-drinker's,
W° suppose, are never stupid, though this is a truth
We should not have discovered from the speeches
made
at temperance societies, not even from those of
resident Close himself. For a specimen of a stupid
'Peech, which wine is not responsible for, we need
not go beyond that which is before us. The follow-
ing rubbish, if due to the potations of the evening,
:8 a positive warning against water-drinking, show-
-4,4 how low the faculties may be brought by it.
Whatever made men drunk—he would not say
reduced them to the level of the beast, for beasts
,never get drunk—but whatever reclined them to
the state of madmen robbed them of their mental
Power, so that they could not distinguish right from
Wrcincr ; •this was the evil that percolated through
4°Vietby.”
We must drink nothing but water to reach such
truth as that " whatever reduces people to the
state of madmen robs them of their mental power !"
tut We hardly know which most to admire, the
Bean's depth of thought, or felicity of language, or
v°ovrledge of natural history, exhibited in the asser-
,,l°4 that beasts never get drunk, being the direct
':ntrary to facts with which we thought everybody
drunkards;
familiar. Swine, for instance, are notorious
ielnkards ; they cannot drink in moderation, and
„Nvould, therefore, be perfectly right to invite a
i.,tt to become a teetotaller. Dean Close's preach-
ing Would have a propriety in sties which it hes not
tx the resorts of men, who are gifted with reason
tePressly to draw up at the boundary-line between
is4lPerance and excess, or right and wrong. That
that
intellect for, if the doctrine is to be received
thlt it is impossible for men to enjoy the good
ssoillg,a of this world in moderation ? And if
th-; 'founded, why is it not extended to other
th,;ll,gs Why not to money, for example ? Is
et,-,.,•Tve of gold less perilous to souls than the love
rit„"lne ? The Scriptures, if they ara of any autho-
rity' affirm the very contrary, for they describe
etes, not wine, as the root of all evil. How much
tnijer,then, to renounce them altogether, and abstain
t4,strelY from filthy lucre, which, it is curious
xi,;81101, was the only case in which total abstinence
eveg ,recommended bhalt and give to the poor ;" but
dl°,l bean Close told to do so likewise, be would
°"ablY treat the text with as little respect as he
4578 the innumerable authorities for the temperate
of the grape to be found in both the Old and
cir, Testaments. Gold is a fine thing, and no man
anllave too much of it ; a fig, the Dean would pro-
cry, for what the Bible says to the contrary.
