DUBLIN ELECTION COMMISSION.—The Com-
missioners will not meet until Tuesday.

We are sorry to have to record'an act of incendiarism
in our immediate neighbourhood. On Saturday morning
last, between three and four o'clock, an oat rick, the pro-
duce of about 15 acres, the property of Mr. J. Godwin, of
Durweston, was discovered to be on fire ; 'it burnt with
such rapidity that not an atom of it was saved. That it
was the dastardly and unmanly act of some incendiary there
is no'doubt. Fortunately, Mr. Godwin was fully insured.
We are also sorry to have to record another act of incen-
diarism, by which two wheat ricks, the property of Mr.
Biles, at Milborne, near Dorchester, were consumed.—
Sherborne Journal.

scarcity of rosin, with the continued advance in other ma-
terials, there has been an advance of Si. per ton on all de-

scarcely be remembered when rosin was either so scarce or
dear at present.—Liverpool. Mercury.

MONEY-MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE.—
SATURDAY EVENING.—The project for the reduction of in-
terest on the French debt being, as it is understood, aban-
doned for the present, it is of less consequence to ascertain
what were Mr Humann's plans for carrying it into execu-
tion. It may be interesting, however, to many persons to
state that one of the modes suggested to him, and which
appears to have met with his approbation, was that of
paying it off in small portions, by the aid principally of the
sinking fund, and without having recourse to any loan. No
higher price than one hundred was to have been given for
the 5 per Cent. Rentes, and the portions to be paid off
in succession were to have been determined by lot. An
inscription in the 3 per Cents. of corresponding value was
at the same time to be offered to the rentiers generally, who
were to have the option either of takinc, that inscription, or
of waiting for the chance of being paid off in turn at par.
It is believed, however, so widely are investments in Go-
vernment securities spread among the lower classes in
France, that the measure of a reduction of interest would
be unpopular and even dangerous, and that this, indepen-
dently of the difficulty in a financial point of view, is one
reason for abandoning it. The payment at par of the
Rentes could not, of course, be effected without an express
act of the Legislature for that purpose, and many doubt
whether any such power is possessed even by the Legis-
lature, the French debt being in perpetual annuities, and
