TO THE EDI7'OR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Do you not think that an illuminated dial to the
clock of the /loyal Exchange would, in the evening, be more
acceptable to the citizens of London than the one now in
use, and which would be seen quite as well during the day,
while the expense would be comparatively very small? By
carrying out this hint in the pages of your valuable, and
therefore widely-circulated journal, you will oblige yours,
obediently, A STRANGER TO LONDON.

CITY, FIIIEtAY EYENIPm. -
CHRONICLE.—There seems to be a general gloom over the Money
Market, as if the country were on the eve of some convulsion. The
long and frequent sittings of the Cabinet have been the cause of this
anxiety ; it being naturally supposed that measures of great and
pressing importance must form the subject of their adjourned delibe-
rations. • The truth must come out on this subject in a few days, and
should it lead to a 'conviction that the "corn-laws are doomed,"
there does not appear reason to apprehend any serious derangement
of the currency from such a desirable concession. We have observed,
on previous occasions, that the first results of opening the ports would
be to drain off bullion in exchange for corn, and to create a greater
demand for money at home. The Bank Directors, with their
diminished store of surplus notes in the banking department, could
not continue to supply the void in the currency which would be
created by the return of notes for gold to the issue department
by enlarging their discount business or by the purchase of Stock
and Exchequer-bills. They have, indeed, been operating as
sellers of the latter already, and if the exchanges were to
assume an unfavcurable aspect they might feel it necessary to in-
crease the rates of discount to four ;per cent. But with money at
that rate, and the fears of coming scarcity removed by the admis-
sion of food free of duty, the want of confidence which is now so preva-
lent would be alleviated. Supposing that the Bank should lose five
millions pf its specie, there would be still a good supply left 'on hand,
and with that drain upon its store, the failure of the pOtato crops and
deficiency of the harvest in England and Scotland might certainly be
overcome. The railroads will form employment for the population,
and with open ports the clouds now hanging over the commercial
and trading interests would disappear. We are thus led to the con-
clusion that there is more fear than occasion calls for, and that after
the 30th of November, when many of the scrips of new projects must
be withdrawn and cancelled, that the Stock and Share Markets will
assume a healthier appearance. A clearance of considerable extent
must take place in the market for scrips after the 30th of November,
from the neglect or inability of the promoters to prepare
their plans and sections, and to make the deposits of documents in
the Private Bill offices, enjoined by the standing orders. The rail-
way world should all turn corn-law repeaters: If the ports of this
country had been open free of duty for the importation of foreign
corn, the alarm created by the deficiency of the harvest would not
have been felt, and the schemes of internal improvement would have
escaped the check which so materially interferes with their future
progress, A high price of corn and a high price of railway shares at
one and the same time is an Impossibility. The money that would
be employed in railways is diverted to the purchase of:the necessary
means of subsistence, and enterprise of every kind suffers when food
is dear. All that can be said of the Railway Market to-day is, that
prices of registered shares are not lower than yesterday, but many of
the scrips of new schemes are still unsaleable. The scrip of Great
Canada West is now bordering upon par; Rhenish DA to 2 prem.
We understand that the failure of Mr. A. Young, of the Stock Ex-
change, who was lately declared a defaulter, was occasioned chiefly
by the inability of his principals to meet their engagements.
HERALD.—The advance in the minimum rate of interest and
discount by the Bank of England to 334 per cent., which we notified
last night, has formed the leading topic of interest in the City
throughout the day. People are, however, gradually becoming bet-
ter acquainted with the relation in which the Bank now stands with
the public, and the influence of the:alarnaists is lessening in proportion.
In addition to what we have lately stated on this subject, it is not
out of keeping to state that for a considerable time past the Bank has
not in practice adhered to their minimum rate ; and it is on that
ground chiefly that the formal publication of notices has been con-
sidered superfluous if not actually injurious. Nor has the change
in the value of money, which the advance now made by the
Bank would indicate, been anything like so sudden or extensive
as people generally seem to have imagined. For several
months past the current value of money in the Market was
observed to be sensibly on the increase, and, in point of fact, it had
advanced beyond the minimum now named by the Bank for any-
thing but what are termed first-class securities. It was only in con-
sequence of the Bank of England continuing to transact a portion of
its business at the rate of two and a half per cent., that the current
rate for ordinarily good paper was not up to from three and a half to
four per cent. upwards of three months ago, and the Bank Directors
have been much reflected upon by the other banks and discount
houses for by that means keeping the value of money, nominally at
least, below the natural level. The Bank Directors were, however,
not at all blameable, in the new relation in which they stand, for
Ainowing that course. Their object was to attract customers to their
shop on the usual principle of competition for the benefit of
their pi oprietors, and the large extent of their capital enabled
them for a time to underbid their neighbours to accomplish
that object. Their conduct was therefore identical with that of every
trader in the country possessed of larger capital, who calculates that
by reducing his rate of profit he so increases the nnmber of his cus-
tomers that the low rate produces a larger aggregate return than
the relatively highei one. This is precisely the position of the Bank
under the new currency law, and the sooner that the community is
familiarised with the idea that the movements of the Bank of Eng-
land, in respect to the rate of interest, are of no more moment or
value than that they represent a given amount of cap ill to be turned
to the highest attainable rate of priflt, the better. It will require
some time to take off the prestige with which the institution was
surrounded in the minds of the people from the association of
ideas that almost formed part and parcel of the Govern-
ment ; but the real position it, now occupies is well
understood by the moneyed interest, and their knowledge
will .be gradually diffused. That was obviously a part, and a
most essential part, of the plan of Sir Hobert Peel in his late currency
measures; and it is proper that the banking interest throughout the
United Kingdom should not lose eight of the fact for a moment, that
in all emergencies they must rely upon their own means, and not on
the Bank of England. With respect again to the advance in the
real, and not merely in the nominal value of money, we repeat, that,
in so far as it arises from the increased demand for the construction
of railways and other industrial investments over Europe, it is a mat-
ter for gratulation and not of regret. For many years past it was
an almost universal complaint on the part of persons that had accu-
mulated capital, that they could find no profitable mode of investing
it with adequate security ; and every new opening for its employ-
ment with an increased rate of profit acts upon the interests of the
community in the same manner as an addition to our fertile land for
the production of food

CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.—
A very numerous meeting of this excellent charity took place
on Wednesday evening last, John P. Hayward, Esq., in the
chair. The Secretary, Henry F. Richardson, Esq., addressed
the meeting at considerable length on the desirability of in-
vesting one moiety of the donations above 51. instead of the
whole, thus enabling a large increase to the payments to the
pen:ioners, whilst, at the same time, the permanent fund was
gradually increased. Mr. Richardson stated that the life-
fund now exceeded 6,0001., and from all the inquiries he had
made from many munificent donors to the charity, he had
no.hesitation in stating that the feeling was that the Society
had already gained sufficient permanent stability to authorise
the plan, and that it would live more in the hearts of its sub-
scribers and the public if the rigidity of its laws in this respect
was relaxed. Mr. Richardson then entered into a variety of
arguments and calculations to prove the soundness of the pro-
posal, and expressed his anxious hope that, ere long, he should
have the happiness to announce to the pensioners that a large
increase was made, and that, in all probability, the full amount
of the pensions might shortly be anticipated. Mr. Richard-
son then announced the financial condition of the Society,
and stated that R. S. Holford, Esq., of 15, Bolton-street
Piccadilly had presented the generous donation of 201., and
Si. ss. as an annual contribution. Mr. Deputy Bedford and
Mr. Cutler, and several other gentlemen, then addressed the
meeting, and it was carried, by an overwhelming majority,
that it is expedient to suggest to the subscribers that one
moiety only of the donations above Si. be funded. Thanks
were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting adjourned
for a week, then to confirm or reject this important resolution.
FUNERAL OF LORD MONTAGU.—} riday morning,
at the early hour of seven o'clock, the remains of the late Lord
Montagu were removed from the family residence, in Hamilton-
place, Piccadilly, for interment in the vault built by the deceased
Lord in Stoke Church, near Windsor. The funeral cortege consisted
only of a hearse and three mourning coaches, followed by the private
carriage of the Duke of Buccleuch. The route for the mournful pro-
cession was by the general road to Windsor, and the procession
reached the church by noon, after which the solemn rites were per-
formed. The Duke of Buceleuch was ctief mourner, and the Earl
of Horne, Lord John Scott, Alr. G. W. Hope, M.P., Colonel Clinton,
&c., were among the members of the deceased's Lord's relatives who
attended the obsequies.

DEATH OF THE HON. CAPTAIN LEICESTER, OF THE
GRENADIER GUARDS.—WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—WC regret to have to
state that the Hon. Captain Leicester expired at his apartments, in
the Infantry Barracks, Skeet-street, Windsor, yesterday morning,
between three and four o'clock, his death having been occasioned by
the rupture of a blood-vessel about five weeks ago. Lord de Tably,
his only brother, was by the bed-sido of the deceased when lie
breathed his last. The Dowager Lady and Lady de Tably, the Rev.
F. Leicester, and some other of the late Captain Leicester's near re-
latives and friends had taken leave of him (as it was then supposed
for the last time) a few hours before. The deceased, who was uni-
versally respected and beloved throughout the regiment, had been
considered to be in a hopeless state, by his medical attendants, since
he was seized with a relapse on Tuesday last.

DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM FOULIS, BART.—We
have to record the demise of Sir William Foulis, Bart., who expired
at an early hour yesterday ;morning, at his residence in Grosvenor-
place. The death of the respected Baronet was unexpected, for
thoughhe was suffering from impaired health, and had come to town
to consult his physician, still not th e slightest apprehension was
entertained of his death. The deceased Baronet was son of
the seventh Baronet, by Miss Turner, daughter of the late Mr. Ed-
mund Turner, of Penton, Lincolnshire. lie was born in 1790, and
married, in 1825, Miss Mary Jane, second daughter of the late Sir
Charles Boss, Bart. Not having any male issue by that union, the
Baronetcy devolves on his brother, Mr. Henry Foulis, now Sir Henry
Foul's. The late Baronet was deservedly respected by his tenantry
in Yorkshire, and his bounties to the poor were most extensive.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 7.—SUDDEN DEATH.—This
morning, at half-past nine o'clock, Mr. Blundel (who for upwards of
30 years has had the management of Warrington Distillery, in
Bridge-street, late Dixon's, but now Stanton's distillery), fell down
dead in the office, of an apoplectic flt. This man has always been a
quiet, steady, sober and industrious servant, and a generally respected
townsman, a good husband and kind father. His loss will be much
lamented both as a servant and a fellow citizen, and deeply regretted
by the bereaved relatives.
DEATH OF SIR STEPHEN MAY, BART.—The fami•
lies of the Marquis and Marchioness of Donegall, the Dowager
Marchioness of Donegal', Lord and Lady Edward Chichester, Lady
Bateman, Lord Hamilton Chichester, Lord and Lady Templemore,
&c., arc placed In mourning by the death of the above-named
Baronet, who died on Tuesday, the 28th ult., at Bath. The deceased
Baronet was born in 1781, and married, in 1820, Miss Nixon, daughter
of the Rev. B. Nixon. He represented Belfast in the House of Com-
mons for a limited period. Ile was son of Sir Edward May, Bart.,
and brother of the Dowager Marchioness of Donegal!.
POLITICAL RUMOURS.—Under this title an evening
paper of last night has a rigmarole paragraph about all sorts of sub-
jects, that are said to be at present under the consideration of the
Cabinet. As to the Colonial Secretaryship, the Oregon question, or
'the corn-laws, we venture to say nothing- for the best of all possible
reasons ; but to the story, that Lord Ellenborough is to succeed Lord
Lonsdale as Postmaster-General, we believe we may give a fiat con-
tradiction. The office in question, as we . are assured, has been of-
fered to another Noble Lord, who has signified lib

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE

BRISTOL AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.

Sroxs, FRIDAY EVENING —The inquest on the body of the
unfortunate man, Humphrey Willis, who was killed yesterday
morning by being run over by the mail train from Birmingham to
Gloucester, has been heist this afternoon before Mr. Hughes, co-
roner, and a respectable jury.

After viewing the body, and a short address from the coroner,
the jury proceeded at once to examine the witnesses. The body
presented a most horrible spectacle, being smashed to pieces, and
defaced from all human resemblance.

Mr. Saunders, secretary, Mr. Beale, one of the directors, and
Mr. Connell, superintendent of the goods department, attended
the inquiry.

Mr. W. Davis, shoemaker, of Stoke, was the first witness exa-
mined. He was with the deceased drinking on Wednesday night
until half.past eleven o'clock, when they left together. The de-
ceased expressed his intention of proceeding home up the line, as
he bad done before, and witness tried to dissuade him from so
doing, but without avail. The deceased said he knew what he was
about, and that by the linehe should save some distance in travel-
ling. Witness was perfectly sober, and the deceased did not appear
drunk. They had been drinking ale together, but the deceased
had had two noggins of gin.
The next witness was a man named Shellard, who had also been
with the deceased and the last witness drinking, on Wednesday
night. He cormborated the conversation spoken to by the last
witness, as having taken place between Davis and Willis. He
(witness) knew it was useless to attempt to dissuade Willis from
going up the tail, as he was an obstinate man, and would have his
own way. He had known him frequently pass up the rail when
trains were due at night, and when he was not sober. The de-
ceased appeared fresh, but not drunk, on Wednesday night.
Edward Cheshire, the engine-driver of the mail train on Wed.
nesday night, deposed that he left Birmingham with the train at
ten minutes past one o'clock, and on approaching Stoke station he
observed a man standing on the line. He immediately shut off
the steam and put on the whistle, with the object of nlarming the
party and stopping the train. They stopped in about two hundred
yards, but the deceased being only abou thirty yards off when wit-
ness first saw him, and not moving out of the way, the train passed
over him. Witness sent the fireman and guard back to the spot,
where they found the deceased lying on the line. It was a dark
night, and raining at the time.
Richard Barnett, the fireman, spoke to similar facts as the
driver of the train, and described the appearance of the body when
picked up. The train was proceeding at a speed of about 28 or
30 miles an hour; not faster than usual for a mail train. The
rails were slippery from the rain, and the train not easily stopped.
Mr. Stubbs, manager at the Stoke station, stated that he had
repeatedly warned the deceased off the line. _

The CORONER having summed up, the jury unanimously re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental death,'' inflicting a deodand of
one shilling only on the engine. At the same time the jury ex.
pressed themselves perfectly satisfied with the conduct of those who
had the charge of the engine.
It was stated In the course of the proceedings that no report
had been made to the board of Directors of the repeated tres-
passes on the line by pedestrians.
The Company intend burying the deceased at their own cost.
He has left a widow, but no children.

The St. Vincent, 120, Capt. R. F. Rowley, was paid off' at
Portsmouth on Thursday; Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., su.
perintended the payment. She was re.commissioned yesterday
morning by Captain Sir Richard Grant, and the flag of the Corn-
mander-in-Chief Admiral Sir Charles Ogle was transferred to her
from the Excellent, and was saluted by the St. Vincent, on its be-
ing hoisted, with 15 guns. She has her lower yard and top-mast
struck for the winter.

The Scourge bomb steam-sloop was brought under the shears at
Portsmouth, on Thursday, and received her ordnance, viz., a 13-
inch mortar aft and a long 56-pounder pivot-gun forward. The
former weighs upwards of five tons, the mortar bed five tons, and
the mass of woodwork upright and cross pieces to support the bed,
another five tons. Altogether, the mortar and its supports weigh
about 15 tons. The mortar lies considerably above the deck, and
can be fired in any direction except directly a-head. The men
from the Excellent are fitting the pivot-gun gear, and taking in
stores of different sorts. The scourge will proceed under the ire.
mediate superintendance of Commodore Chads of the Excellent,
and Captain Stevens of the Royal Marine Artillery, outside the
Wight, to try what effect the firing of the mortar may have on the
frame of the vessel and on the machinery of the engine.
The Sampson steam-frigate has her topmasts up, and is nearly all
ataunt in Sheerness basin.

The Eclair stearnaloop, Lieut. Commander Henry C. Idarston,
still remains at Stangate Creek. Her books are being gut ready for
paying off by the clerks of the Ocean. Mr. Heath, the assistant.
surgeon of the Dwarf steam.vessel, has returned from the Revenge,
72, to his duties on board his own ship. Drs. Rogers, Coffey, and
Stewart, are at Stangate Creek.

The Rattler screw steam-sloop, Commander Smith, will undergo
several alterations at Portsmouth, previous to her sailing for the
coast of Africa. brier wizen-mast is to come out and be taken
away, and her main-mast shifted six feet further aft. We should
like to know how many efficient vessels the money expended on
this miserable trough of the surveyor's designing, would add to the
Navy list.

The African steam tug has left Sheerness for Brighton.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY,

EXETER HALL.

The Sacred Harmonic Society commenced their season last
evening, with Handel's Oratorio of Israel in Egypt. The choruses
of this sublime composition—and they form the principal feature of
the oratorio—were magnificently given. We should like, how-
ever, to hear them as originally instrumented by Handel himself;
and we mistake not if the absence of those loudly braying brass
instruments which have been invented since the days of Handel
would not, by affording greater scope for the development of vocal
effects, greatly increase the effectiveness of the music by increasing
its expression. We hope that the Sacred Harmonic Society will,
during the course of the season, give us some of Handel's oratorios
from the original score. The result of such an experiment would
be to raise the veneration with which every lover of music regards
the divine genius of Handel to a higher pitch than ever.
The solo performers were Miss Raixforth, Miss M. D. Hawes,
Miss Messent, Mr. Arthur, Mr. Leffler, and Mr. H. Phillips.
It was the first public appearance of the latter since his return from
his American tour. He seemed in excellent health, was in excel-
lent voice, and sang with great taste and purity. He was warmly
greeted and was rapturously encored in the duet, " The Lord is a
man of war," in which he was well supported by Leffler. The
hall was completely filled by a most attentive and thoroughly
musical audience, such an audience as one only meets with at the
Sacred Harmonic Society, an audience whose earnestness is quite
delightful,

DEATH OF LORD STUART DE ROTHESAY.—This
distinguished diplomatist expired on Thursday, at his seat, High-
Cliff, near Christchurch, Hampshire. His Lordship's health had
been for some time in a declining state, and he had, in consequence,
been compelled to resign the office of ambassador to the Court of St.
Petersburg!), to which he bad been appointed In October, 1841, and
which he had retained for four years. llis Lordship was born on the
2,1 January, 1779, and was the eldest son of Sir Charles Stuart, K.B.
At his first outset in life, Mr. Stuart devoted himself to a diplomatic
career, the duties of which he entered on under the auspices of the
late Lord Castlereagh. Ile was for some time minister at the Hague,
and in consequence of his diplomatic services during the late war
the Prince Regent, in 1812, bestowed upon him the Civil Grand Cross
of the Bath. In 1816 Sir Charles Stuart married the third daughter of
the late Earl of Hardwicke, by whom he had two daughters, whe
survive him—the Viscountess Canning and the Marchioness of Water-
ford. Having been ambassador at several foreign Courts, and having
tbr a long time represented his Sovereign at the Court of the French
King, Sir Charles Stuart was, during the short administration of
Lord Goderich, raised to the peerage by the title of Lord Stuart de
Rothesay. As his Lordship has. died without issue male the title
becomes extinct.

WESTMINSTER COURT OF SEWERS.—The usual
fortnightly meeting of the Commissioners of this Board was held yes-
terday at the Court-house, Soho-square, E. Willoughby, Esq., in the
chair. Mr. llirtslett, the cler , read a letter from Sir James Graham,
as follows :—" Whitehall, Nov. 1, 1845.—Sir : I am directed by
Secretary Sir James Graham to call your attention to my letter of
August 13th last, and to request that you will move the Com-
missions of Sewers for Westminster and part of Middlesex to
favour Sir James Graham, at their earliest convenience, with
their observations on the allegations contained in the pam-
phlet of Mr. Leslie.—l sun, Sir, &c., &c., H. MANNERS SUTTON.—
I. C. Hirtslett, Esq., Cie: k to the Commissioners of Sewers of
Westminster." The Chairman said the committee appointed in
September last had been very busily engaged, and had only very re-
cently been enabled to prepare their report, which would be pre-
sented to the court at their nest meeting. An answer to Sir J.
Graham was then agreed to. On a subsequent discussion, arising
out of the same question, Mr. Leslie objected to the power laid claim
to by the chairman of acting on his own responsibility. There was
no law empowering the chairman to act alone, but there was a law
requiring six commissioners to form a court for the transaction of
business. Mr. Donaldson gave a notice of motion for the next
court, which would bring the whole matter under discussion. The
court then adjourned.

THE CASE OF THE FELICIDADE.—ThiS case, which
must be still fresh in the memories of our readers, will be argued
before the twelve Judges on Saturday, the 15th instant. We under-
stand that the briefs for the prisoners in the argument hare been de-
livered to Mr. Sergeant Manning and Mr. R. I'. Collier, who con-
ducted their defence on the trial, and we doubt not, from the zeal
and ability manifested by both those gentlemen on that occasion,
that the cause of the prisoners will be well cared for in their hands.
The case will excite much interest. The solicitors for the Admiralty
are concerned for the Crown, and Mr. Edmonds, of Plymouth, for the
defence. We have not yet heard who is retained on behalf of the
Crown, but probably Mr. Godson, Q.C., who so ably conducted the
case for the prosecution, without throwing into it any feeling of
asperity or harshness.—Plymouth Journal.
THE TRICKSTER REWARDED.—A few days ago,
as a Brighton tradesman was travelling to London by rail, he was
detected in the repetition of what he he had previously been heard to
denominate the " artful dodge" of riding as a first-class passenger
and paying only the third-class fare. The modus operandi was to
take a third-class ticket, and ride in a corresponding carriage as far
as the Hassocks, and then, on the stoppage of the train, to transfer
himself to a first-class vehicle, having ridden in which to New
Cross, he would again alight, and resume his old quarters. On
the occasion alluded to, however, the biter was bitten ; for on at-
tempting to execute the last part of this scheme, one of the guards,
who had observed the first past of the manoeuvre, and consequently
been on the look out, touched him on the shoulder, and delicately
hinted that the gentleman had forgotten his carriage. To the great
amusement of the third-class passengers, the " artful dodger" was
bowed into the quarters which he had just vacated in the first-class
carriage ; and, on arriving at the terminus, was obliged to pay the
difference between the first and the third-class ticket, thus proving
himself to be penny wise but pound fsollsh.

THE HARMONIC BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The first
meeting of this praiseworthy Association took place on Thursday
evening, Mr. Charles Simian in the chair. The meeting was called
for the purpose of revising the laws pursuant to the Act of Enrollment.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Willey, the secretary, that
during the last three years the Society had expended 3701. among
distressed members of the singing profession, and that they were fa•
vourably progressing, having now 1701. in the funds. The Society
is founded upon the same principles as that of the Theatrical Gilt
Fund Society.
THE TAT FERRIES.—At a meeting of the Commis-
sioners of Supply of the county of Fife, on Tuesday last, Mr. G.
Makgill gave in a retort on the Tay ferries. He said the Commis-
sioners would all be aware that the Edinburgh and Northern Railway
Company had failed to obtain a lease of these ferries, and that they
had fallen into the hands of the Scottish Central Company. The
Ferries Committee, on hearing this, immediately ordered a communi-
cation to that company, asking if they acceded to the same terms of
lease as the county had originally proposed, but their answer was
not sufficiently satisfactory or conclusive. A very important ques-
tion, however, had since been raised—as to whether any other party
than the original one could supersede the powers of the trust ; and
the opinion of the most eminent counsel in Edinburgh had been taken
on the point, but it was not ready to be brought forward.—ferthshire
