HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Mr. Strickland and Mr.
T. F. Matthews, both very meritorious actors, we perceive,
are to take their joint benefit this evening at the above
theatre ; and, as they appear to have provided an admirable
bill of fare, we hope they will meet with a bumper, which
they se richly deserve.
HACKNEY HIGHWAY SESSIONS.—Yesterday above
1,000 defaulters were summoned for non-payment of the high-
way rate. Nearly the whole of them were excused on the
score of poverty ; and many of the appellants were parties
once moving in a respectable position in life, the detail of
whose reverse of circumstances excited general commlsera,
tion from the Bench. Mr. George Dunn, of Kingsland, ad-
dressed the Bench at some length, in appealing against pay-
ment. He raised several objections, but the Bench refused
to entertain them, and recommended Mr. Dunn to appeal to
the Quarter Sessioas, a course which he declined to adopt.
After hearing many other appeals, the Court broke up.
SHIPPING.—Ihe second sale of the Hartlepool
Shipping Company took place yesterday, which was
numerously attended. Although there did not appear so
much interest excited as at the previous sale, and the
vessels did not sell so high as antiaipated, yet, on the
whole, it was a capital sale, and the whole were eagerly
bought up. The Margaret, 264 tons, built in 1837, sold
to J. T. Wawn, Esq,, M.P. , for 1,402/. ; the Friendship,
251 tons, to Mr Parkin, 1,3 50/. ; the Rosa, 219 tons, to
Captain Green, North Shields, 1,370/ the Queen,
249 tons, to Mr. Watkin, 1,5251. ; the Gipsy, 226 tong,
to Mr. Alcock, 1,3101. ; and the Thomas Wood (cop-
pored) 281 tons, to Mr. Smith, at 1,9001.
DEATH OF MARTIN TUPPER, ESI./...-••A MOSt dis-
tressing event occurred at Soutlibill Park, t seat of the
late Earl of Limerick, On Sunday morning. Martin Tupper,
Esq., of New Burlington-street, a gentleman not less known
for his eminence in the medical profession than he was be-
loved for the amiability of his manners, had long been the
medical attendant of the above noble famili, atm was accord-
ingly at Southhill Park when the late Earl expired, on Sa-
turday evening. Mr. Tupper retired to his apartment about
12 o'aock in apparently perfect health, but when his servant
wel4 t 9 oil ig the mornin* he was f 94114 dead i>l his bed.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday Was
rather quiet. Sales, 5,000 hales. Speculators took 1,000
bales. Prices were steady.—There was not mach acti-
vity in Shares, but they were steady. Bristol. and Glou-

The state of the Money Market is calculated to excite
attention just now, capital continuing as abundant as
ever, although there are so many new sources of em-
ployment constantly opening to it. Trade is certainly not
in a speculative sense absorbing much money, for ne one
seems inclined to operate till after Christmas, but still
the steady consumption going on must require a fair
amount of capital. We perceive that among other pro-
jects there is one for forming railroads in British India,
but we regret it did not come forward sooner, when the
large amount—five millions sterling—stated to be requi-
site, would have been raised, in preference to that sub-
scribed for more doubtful projects.
The English Securities have been rather flatter to-day,
and there have been a few sales made. This cannot arise
from any pressure for money on account of the French
Loan, as there will be no further instalment, it. is said,
till next March. Consols have been 1001 to par for the
opening. Exchequer Bills have realised 565. to 58s. pre-
mium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. aro 103
to 102 f, and the Three per Cents., 1001 to 1.
The announcement of the dividend upon the Three
per Cent. Spanish Bonds has not made the stock higher,
as it was fully anticipated, but prices are firm, the Five
per Cents. being 25 to 24Q, and the Three per Cents.,
371 to 37. Portuguese Converted, are 574; Columbian
