MONEY MARKET and CITY NEW§,

FROI.I THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium-on gold at Paris is 131 per mille,
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 178.101 d. per ounce
fur standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 49 ;• and the
exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 621, it follows
that gold is 0.54 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4.351 per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10} ; and
the,exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10k,
it follows that there is no difference in the price of gold in
London and Hamburgh.

titions which he had presented relative to religious
tests in Scotch Universities.
The main topic of the evening then came on. The
llouse was crowded to excess to hear the charges
which Mr. FERRAND was to substantiate against Sir
J. GRAHAM and Mr. HOGG. Mr. FERRAND rose,
as Members imagined, to adduce proofs in support
of the statements which he had made; but, after
some unmeaning flourishes, he said the House
of Commons was the last tribunal for Englishmen to
appeal to for justice, and then walked out of the
House. This ludicrous exit of the Tory Member
for Knaresborough took the House by surprise. The
discussion on his absurd charges, however, was con-
tinued. 111 r. HOGG vindicated himself against an
attack made on him by the Times, in the most success-
ful manner, and sat down amid loud cheers from all
parts of the 1-7_ouse.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM briefly alluded to the imputa-
tions cast on himself, and left the matter to the judg-

ment of the House.
Sir ROBERT PEEL advised the House to let some
time elapse before they came to a decision, as any
decision they might come to would be regarded as a
precedent for future Parliaments. He therefore re-
commended the adjournment of the discussion.
Lord Jorm RUSKIILL had no objection to the ad-
journment. At the same time, he had no hesitation
in stating what was his impression. "With respect
to the course which we are called upon to pur-
sue," said he, "in regard to the Ho-
nourable and Learned Gentleman the Mem-
ber for Beverley, I think that that course does
not admit of any difficulty. The Hon. and Learned
Gentleman had read from a newspaper an extract from
a speech made by the Hon. Member for Knares-
borough. We have heard the Hon. Member for
Knaresborough state that that report is correct.
I think, therefore, with all due deference to other
Hon. Members, and more especially to you, Sir,
that if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to-
morrow put in that newspaper, and has the
passage real, that the House of Commons
then come to a resolution to the effect that
an Honourable Member of this House, mentioning,
of course, the name of Mr. FERRAND, had acknow-
ledged himself to be the author of the speech pro-
duced, and that the House is of opinion that the
charge contained in that speech against another Hon.
Member of this House, is a false and calumnious
charge.—(Cheers.) I, for one, am prepared to take
that course.—(Loud cheers.)"

Lord STANLEY concurred in the view taken of the
question by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and then denounced
in strong terms the imputations made by Mr. FER-
RAND against some of the most Honourable Members
of the House. He did not believe that in referring
to the charge made against Sir JAMES GRAHAM or
Mr. HoGo theie was the smallest difference or shade
of difference of opinion in the House. But more
than that, he believed the Member who made these
"charges had not the slightest ground for believing
they were true. This assertion was received with loud
cheers. The SPEAKER said, there was no question
before the House ; but if the House wished to come
to any future determination on the subject, he would
recommend that the newspapers which had been ad-
mitted by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough
should be read by the clerk at the table, and then the
House should consider what further was to be done.
On this understanding, Members left the House almost
empty, and the affair will again be brought on this
afternoon. Whether Mr. FERRAND will attend is
another question. It is altogether a very un-
toward event. It is lamentable to see
men who were the most ardent supporters of the
Government but two years ago, now their most bit-

ter enemies ; and it is disgraceful to see Englishmen
denouncing the policy of Ministers, yet constantly
voting with them. If affairs go on in this way
the British Parliament will soon become as degraded
as the Spanish Cortes.

Mr. P. BORTNWICK, another staunch supporter of
the Government, appropriately closed the ludicrous
scene, by some wild motion about the convocation of
the clergy. Neither Whig nor Tory would listen
to him, and some humane Member moved that the
House be counted ; and, on the SPEAKER announcing
that only twenty-seven Members were present, the
House adjourned at Seven o'clock.

The power of the press, in checking abuses and
exposing misconduct, was never shown _in a more
J4l rule auatluca 411011 ALI WC caSte OI A LL. k ERRAND' In
the House of Commons, last night. But, for the
correct reports which industry and talent supply,
Mr. FERRAND might have gone on, propagating lies,
and disseminating fasehoods—not possibly of his own
making, but certainly, of his own imagining—without
fear of being called to an account. Or, if called to
an account, without any fear of being bound down to
the very words that he uttered ; compelled to avow
the speeches he made, and abide by his own oft-re-
peated assertions ; or eat his own words, and confess
himself the speaker of that which had not the reality
of truth.

The columns of the press bore witness to
the dicta of Mr. FERRAND—he could not
flinch from them ; but he did flinch from
vindicating them, and he slunk, abashed and
ashamed, out of the House of Commons, where his
presence was no longer wanted, and where it will
require strong nerve if he be again seen. But for the
public press of Great Britain, Mr. FERRAND might
have gone on for years in the course he had adopted
and now by the circulation through eN ery portion o!'
the British empire of the exposure of hig tricks, a
lesson will be read to every man, not to depart from
the strict line of rectitude, nor, for mere party pur-
poses, to deviate into the track of calumny and abuse.

How are the mighty fallen ! Alas, that a reformed
.House of Commons should only be a bear-garden on
a large scale, and that senators should show such
plentiful lack of wisdom, as some of them now
exhibit. The shade of GEORGE CANNING looks from
Palace•yard in disgust upon the proceedings of an
assembly which, if something be not done to purify
it, will become a mere receptacle for spirits that can
exist in no other atmosphere, and whose effervescence
can find no other place for exhibition. Well may
the rhymer exclaim—
" Of old, when Pitt and Fox harangued, the herd
Looked on, and voted, but ne'er spoke a word.
Now, every whipster on some theme dilates."
And dilate as they may, speak as they choose,
argufy if they can—none of them ever did, none
of them can, exceed the trash which has been talked in
that House, by men such as FERRAND, since the
year 1841.

Did ever man listen to such effusions as those
which benches, crowded with Tories, listened to and
applauded, when first this chosen tool of Toryism
opened upon that side of the House of Commons to
put down Mr. COBDEN and the free-traders ? Did
any one ever hear such yells of delight, such frantic
bursts of joy, as hailed each coarse, each vulgar
attack upon every assailant of monopoly ? And was
there ever a man, whose most ferocious speeches were
greeted with such approbation as the Tory host
bestowed upon Mr. FERRAND in the first ses-
sion of this present Parliament ? He—the anni-
hilator that was to be, of the Anti-Corn-law
League—the destroyer of all free traders—the
model, par excellence, of debaters ; and, shame be
it spoken, the approved of Conservative statesmen I
The petted of the Treasury Bench—the guest of the
Premier—the idol of the Tory mob--the adored of
the leading journal of Europe, as the great regene-
rator of our institutions, the reformer of the poor-
laws, and the corrector of all domestic abuses. Such,
if we might believe our eyes and ears, was Mr. PER-
RAND. This is what he was. Three years have passed
—look at the report of the proceedings in the House
of Commons last night, and see what he is.
And yet Mr. FERRAND has not changed. He re-
mains what he always was and always will be, a man
of low mind, and of coarse feelings. The electors of
Knaresborough sought to read a lesson to the House
of Commons when they sent him, and they have done
it. Toryism sought to use the tool sent to the I rouse
for its own party purpose, and Toryism has {lone it.
Mr. FERRAND did not see the purpose for which he
was sent; he mistook his vocation—he thought ho
was born for a senator; it was only for a
billsticker, or a whitewasher of walls, with large
characters. He was an innocent victim. He ought
to be pitied, not condemned. The Tories, who se-
duced and deluded him, who patted him on the back,

madness—they now pay for their folly—they have
sown the wind, and reap the whirlwind. Young
England may boast its ferocious FERRAND, but Old
England will look with a disdainful eye upon the
employers of men who, though useful to a party at
particular times, eternally disgrace any party that uses
them.

There is nothing so infectious as a row. It is
more catching even than the small-pox. Last night's
proceedings in both Houses of Parliament form an
apt illustration of this assertion, for about the same
time that the Commons were aimed with the
squabble between Messrs. FERRAND and HOGG, the
Lords were engaged in listening to an equally
edifying squabble between the Duke of RICHMOND
and the Earl of RADNOR. The ruw com-
menced by the Noble Earl asking his Grace
whether a certain pamphlet, published under
the auspices of the Pro-Corn-law League, was really
sanctioned by them, "for in his opinion, a more dis-
creditable work never emanated from the press."
There was surely no great offence in this question ;
yet the Noble Duke instantly fired up at it, and re-
plied—with as much acrimony as if he himself had
been the author of the vituperated pamphlet—that he
" felt that the proper course to adopt was not to an-
swer so paltry a question, further than to say that he
thought the work a most excellent one. He thought
his Noble Friend was quite as much in error in
the present instance, as he was when he last
attacked him. The author of the pamphlet was long
known, and although of similar politics to the Noble
Lord, yet he did not seek to destroy the agriculture of
the country. It was true the Noble Lord had
taken the chair at a late meeting of the Anti-Corn-
law League, where he certainly exhibited as a great
actor, and therefore it was natural that he should wish
to impugn a document which so successfully exhi-
bited the Anti-Corn-law League in its true
colours." This is hard hitting, especially the
insinuation that the Noble Earl was one of
those who sought to " destroy the agricul-
ture of the country ;" yet it does not seem to
have produced the impression which his Grace evi-
dently anticipated from it, for the House, instead of
laughing, or cheering, or evincing the slightest sym-
pathy with his disinterested wrath, heard him with
the most frigid indifference; and as for the object of
all this acrimonious bitterness, he sat by smiling and
unconcerned, and apparently entertaining not the
slightest notion that the Noble Duke had been endea-
vouring to extinguish him by his sarcasm ! His Grace
nettled, we presume, at the idea of having expended
his righteous choler in vain, wound up his philippic
by the following alarming threat :—" For his own
part he would say, in reply to the observations of his
Noble Friend, that he would never leave the Agricul-
tural Protection Society until they had completely
succeeded in putting down the Anti-Corn-law League,
than which he believed there never existed in
England a more unconstitutional body." This is, in-
deed, a menace of tremendous significance! Hear it,
ye COBDENS and BRIGHTS, and all ye minor lumi-
naries of the League, his Grace of RICHMOND will
never desist from his labours, until he has " succeeded
in putting down" your confederacy ! Close as wax
will he stick to the Agricultural Protection Society,
until he has trampled you, by means of that wonder-
ful Society, into dust, ground you to atoms,
and scattered you to the four winds of hea-
ven ! We can imagine the consternation
that this ducal menace will produce among
the members of the Anti-Corn-law League,
We can imagine, also, the wailing and gnashing of
teeth, and the strewing of sackcloth and ashes on the
head, that it will occasion in Covent-garden—the
tribulation and despair of the audience, the subdued
and faltering tones of the speakers, conscious of their
approaching extinction. In mercy to a meek and
unoffending confederacy, we implore this tremendous
Duke not to carry his dreadful resolution into effect.
If it be absolutely necessary to his happiness that he
should extinguish some man or body of men, in
GOD'S name let it be Sir ROBERT PEEL and the mem-
bers of her MAJESTY'S Government, and not the Anti-
Corn-law League ! What harm has this amiable con-
federacy ever done to him ? It has never, that we
know of, falsely and wickedly accused him of being
a statesman of superior capacity ; it has never
so far sported with the sacred interests of truth as to
express its conviction that he has two ideas in his
head ; on the contrary, it has always marlf. a nn-int
of doing strict justice both to his motives and his un-
derstanding; and to our thinking, it seems to be the
blackest possible act of ingratitude that he should
now strive to blot it out from the book of political life.

Accounts from Madrid of the 16th state that the
QUEEN, with her mother and sister, would shortly
leave for Caldas, a watering-place, about seven leagues
from Barcelona, in consequence -of the advice of her
physicians. On that day NARVAEZ reviewed 8,000
troops on the plains of A lcoron. Several of the jour-
nals state that hostile demonstrations are made along
the French frontier by the Carlists; and, according
t
edePyrennees, several Carlist refugees,
who quitted the residences assigned to them
ot h e
furtivelysP h a r
in France, have been arrested at Bayonne by the
authorities, and forced to return to the depots in the
interior of the country. A correspondent, who writes
from Perpignan on the 17th, says, the numerous ar-
rests of Carlist refugees along the French and Spanish
frontier, are connected with the discovery which the
Spanish Government have made of an extensive con-
spiracy.

The Three per Cents. were done at 36f, for c4sli,

present, it should not authorise any new lines, and this has
caused the German capitalists to turn their eyes to France."
The same journal gives the following curious details
in a letter dated Constantinople the $d inst. :

" Bad news continues to ,be received from Romelia. The
Albanians have withdrawn, it is true, from the environs of
Adrianople before some battalions sent against them ; but
the country has not been freed from them, and they have
gone to carry their pillage and waste to other points. We
have already announced that the Minister of Russia had
seized on the occasion of a conference with Rifaat Pacha to
make some observations on the subject. The Ambassadors of
England and France have also taken some steps with the
Divan. A great number of Bulgarians assembled at Con-
stantinople have sent in a petition to the Three Powers,
praying them to do something with the Porte, and to
take the necessary measures to shelter their country
from the ravages of the Albanians. Since the beginning
of the military reorganisation, deserters from the army
and a crowd of young men from the provinces, flying the
conscription, had taken refuge in Constantinople. The
Government wished to seize on them, and, to arrive
at this result, a census of the population was commenced,
which was presented as a simple police measure ; complete
documents were thus procured as to their number, position,
and residence, but the most difficult matter was to seize on
them, their numbar not amounting to less than 20,000. The
following was Riza-Pacha's plan of battle. We use the word
designedly, for the undertaking was perilous. On Thursday
morning all Mussulmen were ordered to assemble in the
mosques, under pretext of verifying the lists, and all repaired
there with confidence. The gates of Constantinople were
then shut, the mosques were surrounded with troops and the
names were called over. According as any individual marked
down by the military authorities for the conscription came
forward, he was ordered cut of tt e mosque, seized on, and
carried off to a place of safety. In some hours all was finished.
The women alone made a pretty sharp resistance. When they
understi od that their husbands and sons were thus being
carried off, they left the harems, tore off their veils, and as-
sembled round the mosques, uttering cries, and arming
themselves with stones and sticks. Riza-Pacha had some
difficulty in escaping, and even left in their hands one of the
skirts of his coat. On some points the troops were obliged
to give way, and the prisoners escaped. However, the haul
was a good one, and only some hundreds got off. A cir-
cumstance occurred which calls to mind the proceedings of
the thieves of Canton, in order to pillage houses and carry off
goods, notwithstanding the measures taken by the English
to prevent them. All the Albanians who were at Constanti-
nople having got wind of the matter, hit on a mode of escap
ing from it. They got several coffins made, divided them-
selves into so many sections, placed their arms in the coffins,
and every day funerals of some Albanians were seen to defile
through the streets of the city; four carried the coffin on
their shoulders, the rest followed. They were allowed to pass,
and, once outside the walls of Constantinople, they resumed
their arms, and took to flight. Not a single one remained in
the city. Last Sunday, whilst the Sultan was repairing to
the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed, on the anniversary of the Pro.
plLet's birthday, a crowd of women met him on his passage,
and uttered loud complaints and accusations against Riza-
Pacha. It is believed that the measure which lie has just
taken, and which has caused great dissatisfaction, will shake
his credit with the Sultan."

If the Paris Opposition journals are to be believed,
considerable discontent prevails in the army. Some
weeks since part of a regiment in the gars icon of Paris
was shipped off to Africa for an attempt at mutiny;
and, according to the National, similar symptoms
have manifested themselves in some regiments quar-
tered in the south. At Toulouse several non-com-
missioned officers had been arrested, and the regiment
to which they belonged had been ordered to proceed
to Perpignan, Toulouse being regarded as a place
little favourable to the present dynasty. Arrests also
had taken place in the Bth regiment of Artillery; which
had been marched from Toulouse to Besancon. No
cause is assigned for this disaffection. These journals
still dwell at considerable length on the Otaheite
affair, but from all accounts the public are quite sick
of it, and there is little chance of any further discus-
sion in the Chamber on the subject. On Monday the
Chamber of Peers commenced the debate on the Edu-

cation Bill, when the Marquis of Boissr attempted to
tvert the Chamber from the subject, by putting ques-
tions to the Government about the dispatches of Ad-
miral DUPETIT THOUARS. The PRESIDENT called him
to order, and the debate proceeded. The KING had
left Paris for Dreux, where he was expected to re-
main for a day. The Funds continue firm. On Mon-
day the Five per Cents. closed at 1221. 40c., and the
Threes at 83f. 70e. The Arnzoricain of Brest thus
adverts to the visit of the Prince DE JOINVILLE to
that place
"On Tuesday, the 18th, his Royal Highness inspected the
transatlantic steam-packets Christophe Colombo and Canada.
The Prince then went through every department of the
Arsenal, examining all the details with great precision. He
afterwards went out to the roadstead, and inspected the naval
school on board the Borda. Not being expected, the pupils
were engaged at their different studies and occupations. He
would not allow them to be interrupted, but went down
among them, and while they were at work examined their
progress, and required an account of the conduct of each.
The report made to him being very favourable, he requested
As a personal favour that all those under punishment should
be pardoned. Cimmander Predour replied that he could not
accede to the gracious request of his Royal Highness, for it
happened that there was not a single pupil in the predica-
ment of availing himself of it. The Prince expressed his
satisfaction, and declared that be would consider of some
other means of showing his gratification. He then proceeded
to the Pluton, on board of which he was to make his excur •
