have a mind to altiblish a reputation forhuma.
abundant scope for their philanthropy, witliniaineddling
with manufacturing matters at all. When they have taken
the mote out of their own eye, they will be in a letter
condition to take it out of their manufacturing bro-
ther's eve. But no ; that would not serve the Puri" "
which the majority of those who voted with Lord Miley
had in view. They care not a whit for iithe fac-
tory females. What 'they sought to db was toiqvreak their
vengeance on the manufacturers. Their conduct is a piece
of arrant hypocrisy. And their folly is as great as their
hypocrisy. An instance of more transcendent idiotism.was
never witnessed. Their conduct is suicidal. They hare con-
structed a wall against which to dash out their own brains.
They hive irreparably damaged the .Government, which
could alone protect them. They have given the Cabinet of
Sir Robert Peel a blow under which it already staggers to
its fall: And when once fairly' down, need we say VI hat W ill
follow ? Beyond all question the immediate and entire de-
struction of the corn monopoly. What then will the landed
philanthropists take by their recent motion ? What by their
hollow professions of humanity in supporting the amendment
of Lor 1 Ashley ? These are questions which we leave them
to answer at their leisure.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—A specimen has been shown in the City of the
convenient and economical manner in which quicksilver is
imported from China. It is poured into a piece of bamboo,
about a foot long, and three inches thick, and each end is
closed with rosin. This rude form of package is found quite
as serviceable as the iron bottle in which the metal is usually
brought. The price paid for part of this recent importation
is quoted in the Daily Commercial List as 4s. 6d. per pound,
and it is thought likely to come in competition with our
supplies from Spain.
By the official returns published by the Customs, the ex-
port's of the precious metals to foreign and colonial parts for
the week ending Thursday last, was as under, viz.:—

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHAMPTON

GRAND

➢iILITARY STEEPLE

CHASES.-WEDNESDAY.

The late hour at which these races were brought to a con-
clusion prevents our adding any descriptive remarks to the
official return, or in other respects to do justice to events
that for some months past have kept the " hard riders" iu
her Majesty's military service on the qui vice. We have
only time to state that the line run over was selected
about two miles and a half from Northampton,
starting in a field close to the village of IN oot-
ton, proceeding two miles out and in, and finishing in
the starting field. With the exception of a most awkward
jump out of the first field, and a brook with rotten banks
in the third, the fences were fair hunting ones, nothing, in
short, that would stop a good horse and a willing rider. The
weather was favourable, and the attendance greater than we
ever met at any steeple chase in this neighbourhood. The
heavy weight race was the first on the card, and came off a
little after 3 o'clock, as follows:—
A Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each, h. ft., for horses belonging
to, and to be ridden by, officers on full pay of the army,
12st each. Four miles. Winners of any steeple- chase
previous to the day of nomination, to which 100 sovs. was
added, to carry 71b extra; the second to save his stake,
and receive a bonus. (60 Subs.)

DUKE of DEVONSHIRE'S SALE.

NINTH DAY'S SALE OF THE DUKE OF DEVON.
SHIRE'S SPLENDID COLLECTION OF COINS

AND MEDALS.

The famous Petition Crown, the work of that inimi-
table artist, the celebrated Thomas Simon, and so highly
prized by collectors, having on the edge " Liman 's
Petition to his Majesty King Charles the Second," in
double lines, was yesterday purchased by Sir George
Chetwynd, Bart., for the'sum of 704 and added to the
Grendon Hall collection.

Sir George also purchased an impression of, the
same Crown, but having an edge, instead of the peti-
tion, inscribed " Reddite qum Ctesaris Czesari, &c.,"
and the sun in a cloud.

Both these coins are of excessive rarity and in,the
highest state of preservation.
A double sovereign of Edward the Sixth, *as
knocked down to Mr. Cuff, for the sum of 401. _

Queen Mary's Royal was purchased by Mr. Cureton,
for 20/.

Oliver Cromwell's pattern for a two shilling piece, date
1656, beautifully preserved and in the finest state
possible, was purchased (after a warm contest) by
George Sackville Ball, Esq., for 171.
Of Simon's Petition Crowns, only fourteen are known
to exist, and that sold yesterday is decidedly one of the
finest and most perfect.
The identical crown presented by Simon to Chance
the Second, was given by his Majesty to Lord Chan-
cellor Clarendon, and is now in the matchless collection
of Colonel Durrant, in Wimpole, which is one of the
most superb and valuable in existence.
