NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL TO MR. ROWLAND HILL.
—We have much pleasure in stating that the sum of
one hundred and twenty-two pounds has been sent by
the town of Nottingham towards the above reward in-
tended to be made to the popular author of the penny
postage, and we are further assured that there are other
contributions promised.—Nottingham Review.
SUPPLEMENT TO THE " DISPATCH."—The pro-
prietors of the Weekly Dispatch, in addition to the sup-
plements already given, and which comprise the whole of
the proceedings in the Irish State Trials, with the view
of rendering those Supplements complete, have deter-
mined upon presenting to their subscribers, to. morrow,
a concluding Supplement of eight pages (gratis),
containing the whole of the arguments in the House of
Lords upon the Writ of Error, from Thursday, the 4th
of July, up to Wednesday last, September the 4th. This
Supplement will contain the brilliant speeches of Counsel
on both sides ; and the decision of the Law Lords, in-
volving the reversal of the judgment in the case of Mr.
O'Connell and others, and consequent release of all the
" conspirators," together with the memorable speeches of
Lords Denman, Cottenham, and Campbell, and the ob-
servations of Lord Brougham, the Lord Chancellor, &c.
Orders received by all Newsvenders in town and coun-
try, and at the Dispatch Office, 139, Fleet-street.
It is stated that the wheats in this county, where
they have been got up hard and dry, weigh from 63 to
65 llas. per bushel, and the quality is bold and handsome.
—Chelmsford Chronicle.
THE SECOND or SEPTEMBER.—The "first" falling
this year upon a Sunday, the birds were, as a matter of
necessity, not from any particular affection towards
them, afforded a respite for a day, and the slaughter
began on Monday, one of the hottest days of the year.
Accounts of the quantity of game vary, but we incline
to the opinion that, generally speaking, they must be
somewhat scarce, and certainly shy. A dry spring
may be less destructive than a thoroughly wet one, but
both are unfavourable to the incubation and the young
birds ; at the same time, in some localities, partridges
appear to be abundant, and we have ourselves seen coveys
of from thirty to forty each. The early clearance of the
wheat crop, however, and the little cover afforded by
turnips, have made them very shy, and the general re-
turns of the first day's sport present nothing very re-
markable.--Hereford Paper.
PROSPECTS IN SOUTH AND NORTH LANCASHIRE.—
The Liberal prospects are very cheering here. The
Conservatives are already calling out for aid. The
League is moving with great and successful strides, and
their stirring agent, Mr. Moorhouse, is seen in every
direction, " book in hand," carefully collecting the neces-
sary " news" for victory. The proud spirit of the noble
house of Derby will be humbled, and Mr. Entwisle
shorn of his late accidental laurels.—From a Corre-
spondent.

MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Stock Market closes very firm this afternoon,

and Orleans, 18t ; and Paris and Rouen, 184 premium.
Union Bank of London Shares, 2 premium.
There was a slight decline in the rates of Exchange on
Amsterdam, Paris, and Frankfort. The others were
much the same.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool continued flat yester-
dayj: sales 2,500 bales only at rather easier rates. In
the Share market South-Eastern was a ready sale, but
other shares were not so good :—Chester and Holyhead,
69; Grand Junction, Half, 108; Great Western, Half,
854; London and Birmingham, 220; London and York,
4; Manchester and Birmingham, Quarter, 51; Manches-
ter, Bolton, and Bury, 115; Manchester and Leeds, 125:};
Ditto, Half, 54; Sheffield and Manchester, 881; South-
Eastern, 39; Ditto, New, 124; Paris and Rouen, 38i;
Rouen and Havre, 191.
The following notice was issued late yesterday :
" Bank of England, Sept. 5, 1844.
" At a Court of Directors, held this day, resolved—
That the rate of interest on loans, for bills discounted
at the Bank of England, be as follows :—Bills, 21 per
cent. ; notes, 3 per cent. Such bills and notes not hav-
ing more than ninety-fire days to run."
This alteration has not given satisfaction in the City.
It will hurt, it is thought, most of the minor banking
firms and discount brokers.
