MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
TIMES.—The delay in the arrival of the Indian mail is
much aggravated by the consideration that through the
want of a steam-boat at Alexandria, when the letters of
the 19th of July by the intermediate mail from Calcutta
arrived, the merchants are deprived of advices from that
part of India as late as they could have had by the Bom-
bay mail now hourly locked for. Of the cause and
remedy of this the annexed letter treats very fully :
..

" September 7.
"It was generally known on Monday last that "the
Bentinck, bringing dates from Calcutta to the 19th of
July, arrived at Suez on the 17th of August, and that
the letters by her were hourly expected at Alexandria,
when the French steamer le Caire left that port on tba
20th tilt.

4 If either of her Majesty's steamers had been waiting
at Alexandria, these letters from Calcutta, Madras,
Ceylon, and very likely some important news from
China, might have been in London last Tuesday, and
answered this day, and thus a month would have becil
gained on them all.

" Perhaps your readers do not generally know that all
her Majesty's steamers which carry letters are under the
sole direction of the Admiralty, and therefore the evil
complained of in this instance does not rest with the
Post-office department, which is merely the executive,
but with the Admiralty, whose duty it is to have three
or four steamers always lying at Alex..,,ndria, to bring
on, as it may casually arrive, any e a ern intelligence
to Malta, whence it should be forthwith sent by another
steamer to Marseilles, where an English messenger
present defective arrangement at Alexandria.

" When Mr. Waghorn, who projected the overland
route, was in Egypt, he attended to these matters ; and
some three or four years ego, when there was no Eng-
lish steamer at Alexandria, he induced the Pi;cha to lend
him one of his own, and brought on the letters that had

of there being seven rates of duty now, instead of three,
and those not all bearing the same proportion to eatilt

to meet the demand. lln place of increasing, the stamp
authorities have diminished, the variety of their stock,

great inconvenience, makes errors more liable to occur.
Surely something might be done to remedy the evil,
either by increasing. the variety of the stamps, or pro-
viding a machine to stamp the policy forms as wanted at
the policy-office, Prince's-street, Bank, instead of obliging

ELECTION FOR THE OFFICE OF CHAMBERLAIN.--
On Saturday the election proceeded at a very slow
pace. A few members of the Livery appeared in the
Hall, and at three o'clock the state of' the gross poll was
stated to be—for Brown, 1,826; for Heppe', 53. Mr.
Ileppel having respectively addressed the Livery, the Hall
was formally adjourned by Mr. Potter, the secondary,
until this morning.
STEYNING, SEPT. 6.—The harvest in this neigh-
bourhood may now be considered as closed. The wheats
have been housed in excellent condition, and prove one
of the finest crops, both as to quality and quantity, ever
known. The barley and oats are not so good ; but far
better than was expected.—Brighton Herald.
EXPORTATION OF MACUINERY.—The exportation
o•'• lace machinery to France is again in operation. The
exporters allege that it is done to evade the patent liws,
and that the National Institute of Paris levies a duty of
50 per cei.t., but if the machinery is • upon a new prin-
ciple not known in France, the duty is only 15 per °eat.,
as heretofore.—Nottinyham Review.

POST.--The Repeal agitation has once Ineri_e eona.
menced in earnest. The final sentence pron:sAanceci
by Lords Denman, Campbell, and Cotteni:am, l:ss
released O'Connell from prison, and added fuel to
that fierce fire of hatred against England :wilier..
~eetrs to burn in the breasts of tens of thuu:sinith of
Irish Rornanists. O'Connell has already taken part
in two processions, and he has delivered, at least, one
speech in the old strain, and on the old subjects.
The " Liberator" looks, moreover (as all acc,"-int'
agree in stating), sleek and lively. fie wears a green
cap, as of old; and, if we confine our attention merely
to the surface of things, a long series of triumphs
would seem to be opening upon him-. • In sober truth,
however, O'Connell's position is exceedingly critical.
It may be doubted, indeed, whether any man in
the Queen's dominions has deeper reason than
O'Connell has to regret the zeal which has led his
good-natured friends, Lords Denman, Carnpbeil,
and Cottenham, to unbar the doors of his retreat
at Richmond Penitentiary. Imprisonment was to
O'Connell the most convenient thing in the world.
It saved him from the necessity of action at a firee
when-action might have led him to the.scatMcl., The
" monster meetings" were-becoming suite as Serious..
to O'Connell as to Ministers. They were regarded
by the thousands who composed them as " precur-
sors" to that agreeable process by which.lreland was
to be, according to promise, restored to the Irish—a
process, in other words, of massacre and confiscation.
The military virtues, however, do not belong to
O'Connell ; and it would little suit him to give prac..
tical application to the verse which he deiighls to (ittotc",
and " wreak Erin's wrongs in battle A line ei
battle is not, in short, the line in which O'Connell is
fitted to make a figure;
.yet his followers had, iest
year, begun to ask whether the " monster meetings'•
were destined to lead to no practical movement in th;.:
way of an attempt to avenge " the wrongs of se ee
centuries," as these wrongs are embodied in the
lying legends which the " Liberator" rehearsed fee
the edification of his followers. The rehearsal ei
such legends, and the fabrication of equally veraciou
statements of his own, constituted, however, the sum
of O'Connell's resources as an avenger of the wrongs
•f Erin. To him, therefore, imprisonment, we re-
peat, was a Godsend. It restored him to his p,si7
tion in the affections of those of his followers who
begun to doubt his honesty and courage. It sectu-ei
to him a luxurious life tor twelve months. It ensured
him an enormous revenue for a time ;—while the ne-
cessity imposed on him of" keeping the peace" for
two years after his liberation would have supplied
him with an excuse for keeping at a respectful dis-
tance from that " battle line" which the inure enthu-
-siastic of his fullowers would he only too happy to hr
allowed to form. Things are changed now—end
O'Connell must, once more, commence a course of ac-
tion. He must, once more, devise means to amuse and
gull his followers. To do so will not be difficult
for six months to come. Dinners, fetes, process-
sions, masqueradings of different kinds, will occupy a
portion of the Parliamentary recess. Still of the pro-
blem—how to " give Ireland to the Irish"--a practi-
cal solution will, at no distant period, be demanded.
The Romanist peasantry are bent on driving the
" Saxon robbers" from the " Green Isle"--and they
will, doubtless, expect Mr. O'Connell to lead them on
in the glorious attempt. Mr. O'Connell, however,
entertains a not unnatural antipathy to the gallows---
nor does he love hot lead and cold steel. Richmond
Penitentiary, with its turbot and champagne, is more
to the Liberator's taste than the most beautiful field
that could be selected by the " finest pisintry" to
17 conclusions on with Saxon soldiers. While,
however, it may ba doubted whether O'Connell's
position has, in his own opinion at least, been
cha god for the better, the condition of Ireland has,
in v rtue of the sentence of the Whig law Lords,
been, assuredly, changed for the worse. The most
brutal p aof the most brutal portion of
Irish peasantry have been called into more ferocious
activity by O'Connell's triumph over English law.
To them that triumph appears to involve an accession
ntsAvoxvnt.l‘..t.-v.iby -atZ Rayie neat- the orpiat
blessed period when Ireland shall, in very deed,
belong to the Irish—when a Protestant Church shall
no longer riot on Catholic endowments—when Pro-
testant judges shall no longer presume to repress
Romanist tendencies to robbery and murder—when
Protestant landowners shall no longer presume to
exact rent from Romanist squatters on the soil.
'Things cannot go on for ever as they have recently
gone on in Ireland. The policy of " conciliation"
will at last produce its natural fruits. • Sooner or later
—under circumstances more or less favourable to
England—a struggle must commence for the dominion
•of Ireland. Ireland must, in fact, be abandoned by
England, or Ireland must be reconquered. The re-
