MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, SATURDAY EVENING,
Consols did not leave off quite so good as yesterday ; the
fluctuation, however, during the day was not more than a
mere fraction. This would appear to indicate, that other em •
ployment than trade is required for the investment of spare
capital. The last prices were—Consols for Money, 891 A,
and 894 buyers for the Account. The transfer books for Bank
Stock are at present closed, but sales fur the opening have been
made nt 170 to 171. Exchequer bills, 29 to 31 prem.
The same cause which has induced the steadiness in the
English Funds has operated knfavourably for Foreign Securi-
ties. Portugue:e Five per Cents. were last quoted
at 3.41 •to 3-14 ; the Three per Cents., 201- to 204 ;
Mexican, 41 to 411 ; Colombian, 29- to 26a ; Spanish
24k. The e Bonds all profess to bear interest vary..
ing from 3 to 6 per cent. per annum, and many
years reopens are delivered with them. Thus, a Spanish
Bond represents 1001., the coupons to May in the present year,
271. lOs., the simple interest upon the dividend, :3/. Bs. 9d., so
that fora document representing 127/. 10s., w hich is owing by
'the Spanish Government, more than 27/. 17s. 6r. can he ob-
tained, or a trifle Mow the dividend, the bond being considered
as valuel-,tss. The price of the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. Stock was 52; ; the Five per Cents. 103 to 103 i ;
Da.,.ish, 816 to 82!.
. . .

market has been somewhat better the demand
/laving been good. Great Western improved to 26, 27 ; the
half shares 13, to and Birmingham, 65 t'7 premium. Bir-
mingham and Gloucester, 56 to 56 ; Gosport, 59 to 60 ; South
Western, 59 to 60 , North Midland, 70 to 72 ( It. higher than
yesterday) ; Brighton, 36a to 4 per share ; Eastern Counties,
13i to 124 ; South Eastern, 22 to 2l discount.
The C immittee of the Stock Exchange have very properly
called upon some parties who were Oefanlters years since, and
now in po,session of wealth, to pay off the old d.fferenees, under
the penalty of expulsion.
While upon this subject it, may be mentioned, that a li:gb
legal character has given it as his opm on, that every bank-
rupt should receive a certifieate,*.which is. as is the case now,
to be published in the Gazelle , but that the cer:ificate and
toe advertisement should specify to what CALM" the bankruptcy
was to be attributed; whether to fraud, carelesaiess, or ine-
vitable misfortune. _

(ITrom The Son of Saturday Evening.)
The speech of Sir Robert Peel is being canvassed in the
City to-day, to the exclusion of almost all otter hu,,itiess. The
determination therein expressed to persist in the income tax
meets with much oppwit _
The English Stocks remain firm, with hut little huainess,
Consols being 89% N for Money, and Sit fm for the Ac-
count ; Bank Stoca, 169 to 170 ; Exchequer Bills, 29 to 31
prem.
Nothing doing in the Foreign Market, and tit quotations
are not so high as yesterday. Alexiean, 411,4 j; Colombian,
21 to 26A- , Portuguese Five per Cents., 34A ; Spanish, 25
to 25k.
A slight improvement has taken place in shares, although
the purchases have been but trifling. York and Midland,
94A 93; the New Shares, 32 ; Great North of England, 88;
Great Western, 911 ; Brighton, 36i1 I/2,-
A most disgraceful transaction has lately occurred in the
Foreign Stock Exchange. A party purchased a number of
those Spanish Coupons which are about to be capitalized,
but the individual of whom they were bought surreptitiously
introduced a qu inti7.y which are excluded f: OM the decree, and
now refuses either to exchange them, or take them hack.
Application has been made to the Committee on the subject,
who ha- e not yet given a decision.
The returns of the average c irculeion the kingdom, dur-
ing, the four weeks ending on the sth instant, show a decrease
of 1,147,496/., of which (?18,98-11. is in England, 111,7731.
in Scotland, and 216,7391. in It-elm!. The Bank of Eno--
land has contracted its issues by 50i 000/., the difference be-
tween 1(4,894,000/, and 17,402,0001. ; the private laanks by
223,0691., the difference between 5,299,4:,51. and 5,532,524/. ;
the joint stock banks by 77,915/., the difference between
2,990,986/. and 3,038,901/. The private and joint stock banks
in Scotland are less by 111.7131., the difference between
2,811,109/. and 2,92'2,882/. In Ireland, the circulation of the
Royal Bank is less by 90,325/., the difference between
3,188,7501. and 3,279,075/. ; end the private and joint
stock banks by 126,4141., the difference be:.vreen 2,407,605/.
and 2,534,039/. The circulation of England at resent is
stated to be 25,1D34,441/. ; of Scotland, 2,811,1091. ; and of
Ireland, 5,596,3751., being a total for the United Kingdom, of
33,591,9251.
The amount of bullion in the Bank of England appears to
increase steadily, having been on the sth' instant 6,281,0001.,
and on the same day of February 5,602,0001. The average
amount, according to these returns since July, 1841, has been
4,918,7501., the loweit point having been in November last,
when it fell to 4,218,000/.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Wro II
LEEMING V. SHERRATT.
This case, which was part heard ,ycs.terday, and continued
this morning, came before the °Art en exceptions to the
Master's report.
The question in t4,:k tause turned upan the construction et t
will, the clause itt dispute being as follows :--" I give t@ each,
of my children, Joseph Francis, &c., 1,0001. each, to be paid
respectivel7l on their attaining the age of twenty,o4le.,ekeept
such of them as are girls, in which ease I trdei- hia to be
plaerAl out at interest, and to be sever ed ilsom the control of
r.iy husband with whom tiny may intermarry, and the interest
in the mean time to tae paid to them, and the principal to be
disposed of M. such manner as they may direct to their issue;
but is ease they die without issue, I give each principal among
the survivors of my children in equal proportioi.s." The ques.
tion was, whether with respect to one of four surviving Chit:
dren there was a good executory bequest ?
His Honour, it is expected, will take tiny' tt) eonsider. his
judgment.

Towards the end of the last month a marriage was
celebrated at Sarta, In Old Castille. Three days afterwards
the guests invited to the feast offered an entertainment to the
new married couple and their families at a village called Tan-
dage, the birth-place of the bride, lying at some little distance.
To shorten the way, the bridal party determined to cross the
Duero, but the river having been much flooded, carried the
boat down the stream, drove it against a rock and upset it,
whereby all who were in it, amounting to sixteen persons, were
downed.

We find the following in the Commerce :—"The
house of M. D., a banker at Bolbec, in Normandy, having
been several times attemp!ed to be forcibly entered in the
night, he engaged a police•officer to come and keep watch in-
side. About two o'clock on Saturday morning the robbers
made their appearance again, and with a centre-bit hail made
a large hole in the door of the office, when the officer rushed
out, and seized a man by the collar. 31. D. himself was in
another room also on the watch, but it had been :Treed that
he should not come forth unless the officer should call for his
assistance. Hearing the struggle, however, he could not resist
the impulse, and in the dark grappled with the officer instead
of the thief. On this, the officer conceiving he had two men
to contend with, drew a pistol, discharged it, and wounded
M. D., whose cries prevented another shot, which would, in
all probability have been fatal. In the confusion thus created,
the housebreaker made his escape. The wound of M. D. is
Said to be seriously alarming to his fam ly and friends."
The death of Dr. Forbes took place on his crossing
a branch of the lake Lhouk on a raft.: he there saw Ibrahim
han and others load and level their guns, when hi turned
pale, and said his fatal day was come. He asked Them for
what perpose they had loaded, and they said to shoot fpgs.
They immediately fired at him, but without effect, but the se-
cond time the Khan took a more deliberate aim, and he being
wounded, fell from the raft into the water. He made
his say to the shire, and pleaded for his life, saying, "my
countrymen are many, and will take vengeance for my blood;
do not resist them." The Khan, however, abused him, and
struck him with his sword, on whieli Dr. Forbes asked him
again to save his life, and said they might take all his property.
He put up his hands in the attitude of prayer, in which posi-
tion he was slain by their repeated attacks. Dr. Forbes was a
""cry 3011'4 mail, and in 16:it3 wade :in asetnt of the Singh:..-

and in various christian Lanes, by the female prisoner ; and
that she had also pledged at his shop some Cashmere shawls,
candlesticks, telescopes, and other articles, which the prosecu-
tors had since identified as their property.
Edward Thompson, a clerk to Messrs. Carr, proved the
prisoner had paid him two of the 51. notes stolen from the pro-
secutor's safe.

After some other confirmatory evidence had been adduced,
the prisoners were called on for their defence.
They both declined saying anything in answer to the charge,
and after an examination which lasted several hours, were fully
committed to New•gate for trial.

A letter from Schwerin says the present Grand Duke
Frederick Francis, ott coining to the Grand Ducal throne by

that, being of full age, according to the family compact of 23d
June, 1841, he had assumed the reins of government.
The Phai'e of Bayonne of the 15th inst. relates that,
a few days before, a band of about twelve Spanish smugglers
were about to make their way over the boundary between

four of the officers were more or less severely wounded, and one
of the Spaniards was kille I and another wounded. •

The Akbar d'Alger of March 10th says :—" The
Governor-General set out on the 6th for Blidah with his
family. It is thought that he will remain there about a week.
We learn from Mostaganem that the passage from that town
to Oran may be now undertaken withaut escort, and that
parties of twenty and thirty proceed to Mascara without the
slightest interruption. On the night of the 7th the harbour
of Algiers was quite al.ve with light and elegant boats, splen-
didly light up, and accompanied by military music. The shore
was lined with spectators, and the presence of young and ele
pant women added to the charm of the scene. It was a fish-
ing expedition, undertaken with a view to raise a furri for the
poor, and we learn that its end was attained."
Ns w MEDALS.—AIr. N. Hymns, of Cornhill, has
just published too beautiful medals, cne to commemorate the
christening of the Prince of Wales, the other a correct view of
the intended new Royal Exchange, and, on the reverse, the
old Exchange, destroyed by fire. On the reverse of the first are
likenesses of the Queen and Prince Albert. That of her Ma-
jesty especially is beautifully executed and true to life. The view
of the new Exchange is well finished and produces a fine effect.
These medals do great credit to the skill and taste of the artist.
BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, MARCH 1 B.—The stock
of raw sugars in first hands is nearly exhausted, and, with the
exception of a probable cargo from the Mauritius, we have
inothing to look forward to until the next general impert.
Sugars, both raw and refined have advanced 3s. -at ce our last.
but if the official estimate a the present years' import be at all
correct, this can only continue till we obtain new arrivals.—
Bristol Mercury.

LORD ABERDEEN and M. GUIZOT
The. following is M. Guizot's speech in the debate on the
secret funds :

M. Guizot began by saying he would not open ft debate
upon questions already treated of and exhausted. The Ch4in-
ber was net a place for idle chat about public affairs. lie rievt,r
refused discussion, when it was required, or the subject new.
But every orator had already had the opportunity of speaking
on every subject, and there was no use in renewing debates on
these. He would re•establish the truth respecting one circum-
stance, viz., the exequatur of foreign Consuls residing at Al-
giers. It was the custom in changes of Government for Con.
suls to continue to act by virtue of the exequatur obtained un.
der the old Government. This rule has been observed at
Algiers, not only with regard to the British, but other
Consuls. The English Consul was in Algiers previous to
1830, and the post not having since become vacant, there
has been no ground for the renewal of the exequatur
which he had already received. This Consul having de-
manded for a Vice-Consul the right of installing him-
self in another part of our territory, he was informed
that, in order to obtain his right, a new exequatur was requi.
site. The exequatur was not applied for—(Ah, als, from the
left)—but the translation which was requested has not taken
place, and it will not be permitted until the exequatur shall
have been applied for and granted. I will add, that when the
post of the English Consul at Algiers shall become vacant, the
new Consul will be compelled to apply for the exequatur; but,
until then, there will be no motive for renewing the exequatur
of the English Consul in our colony. I have now to allude to
the subject of the despatch relative to our conquest in Algeria,
which I communicated some time since to the Chamber. In
the first place I must be allowed to rectify an assertion which is
completely false. It is not true that it ever entered into my
mind to ask for, or that the French Ambassador in London
ever said a word which could justify such a supposition, the
adhesion of England on the subject of our conquest. It is not
tree that I, at any period, or under any circumstances, would
even permit any step which could admit the right on the part of
England of raising a difficulty on this question.
M. Durand here observed that he had not said anything of
this kind

M. Guizot—lt has been said, however, that we applied for
the approbation of England on the subject of our possessions
in Africa. I deny the fact. The real state of things is as fol-
lows :—ln a conversation with the French Ambassador, Lord
Aberdeen said spontaneously, that in 1830, he had made,
against our occupation of Algeria. protests and lively inces-
sant remonstrances, but now he did not resume that position,
that his attitude was different, that ten years' possession was in
his eyes a serious circumstance, an event accomplished, and
that on this subject he had not objections or observations to
make. The different between the two words does not seem
to me important (me touche peu). This conversation was not
provoked. The words were spontaneous. What., thinks Lord
Aberdeen, was the sanction of time, the conquest becoming pro-
gressively a fait uccompli? Lord Aberdeen spoke simply and
sensibly. 'the fact. was simple and evident, and need not give
rite to such a discussion. Ten years ago, I was the first to
say, " France has conquered Algeria, and will keep her con-
quest." Every one now repeats these words. But let us not be
astonished th t time WJE, necessary to bring things to this pass.
Conquests must be consolidated by time. Time alone gives
them a sanction and en authority. The words of Lord
Aberdeen were n /thing else than a recognition of the sanction
given progressively by time to our Algerine conquest ; words
spoken in good part, words of peace, abandoning old cavils of
ten years hack. These expressions, spontaneously given, were
correctly transmitted by the King's ambassador in London.
Any difference in expression is of little consequence. The
fact alone is important. And the great fact is, that France
having conquered Algiers, twelve years' possession of it has
brought the cabinet and the statesman who had made the
strongest objections and remonstrance on this subject to take
quite a different attitude and tone on resuming office. Let our
possession last longer, and you will see the English cabinet, and
other cabinets, and the Porte itself, make new steps, and the
most complete and definitive sanction—the recognition of all the
word will eon‘uminate the empire in Africa. Thus has it
been with all great conquests. fhe last point which I have to
notice is that relative to the observations of the President
of the Council of Ministers at. Madrid. It is said that some
jour..als have asserted that the English Government, after hav-
ing approved of our instructions as to the etiquette in present-
ing the letters of credence of our Ambassrdor in Spain, had
changed its views, and that the Spanish Government, on the
receipt of despatches from England, put forward opposite pre-
tensions. I know nothing about this statement; but I can
state that I have knowledge of a despatch from Lord Aberdeen,
in which he approved of the instructions given by the French
Government to our Arribastednr on the subject of the letters of
credence. This despatch was of great length, and went fully
into the question. I have too high an opinion of the firmness
of mind and of the honour of Lord Aberdeen to believe that
lie can hare retracted his views so readily ; and have reason
to believe that he never did retract them, and that they still
exist. I will notice another point of the Spanish question.
tit the Spatlish Chamber allusion was made to what I had said
relative to information given by the French Government to
that of Spain on the subject of the movements which Were
preparing in the Basque provinces. I have a very good
answer to make to the Spanish Minister. I have only to
~ernmttnicate to him the letter of the Spanish Consul at
thfinting the Director of the Customs for informing
him that arms and ammunition word passing the frontier, thus
indicating an approaching movement.—[M. Guild here read
the letter.] Ido not know whether the Minister for Foreigii
Affairs of Spain has been apprised of the contents of this
letter: If he has, all doubt must have been removed from his
t4iind. having dtl t 8 these neints.. Gentlemen, I repeat,
that I will not be induced on this oecasidri tt! enter npon ques-
tions which have already been fully discussed. But if the
Chamber, notwithstanding all that has been said on the Spanish
question, should desire a further discussion, I will not shrink
frSith it, elthotivh no new fact has transpired to render further
discussion neZIO-tisaik. *het 1 hesr stated has been stated
frankly, and with the strictest regard to its impossible
to contradict it. The result of this discussion will shenV *fate=
ther any thing more is required from me.

his Excellency read in the Tribune an account of a conversa-

In this relation, the Countde St. Aulaire observes—"l tie2ri
by asserting that the security of our African possessions was
fur le an interest of the highest importance, which he could
+let: 01.1oef befere any consideration; and Lord
Aberdeen, after having listened ft+ one „attentively, said, I am
very glad to be able to explain myself distinctly tp yott upon
this point. I was Minister in 1830. If I were to bad itit6t
time, I should have much to say ; but I take affairs as they are
in 1841; and in the state in which they have been lett by
fit•eckiding. eahirietft • I therefore look upon your position in
Africa Pitt atjmpli, agatirst which I have no further ob-
jection to make."
New, I readly subscribe to the accuracy of this
with the exception of the last sentence. I never said that I had
row, no objection to make to the establishment of the French in
141 Ser'; f Wft that I had now no observation to make on the
subject, and that if ;I'l Intentien to be silent. The con-
text shows that such was my meaning ; aftd, in fact, this deci-
sion was the result of mature reflection. I felt that; after ten
years of acquiescence, any objections at the present moment
stotild have been misplaced; and that the course which it would
friiife been impassible for me formerly to have adopted, had
now become entifely eitittistent with propriety and duty. It
does not follow, however, that ohjects,erni although not ex-
pressed, may not be entertained.
I have explained to the French Ambassador the misappre,
hension into which he had fallen, and the erroneous statement
which, in consequence, he had made to his Government.
With the same object in view, your Excellency will have the
goodness to read this despatch to M, Guizot.—l am, &c.

DuilLIN, MARCH 15.—The particulars of a most
gracious assault, commtited upon a lady of respectability last
Saturday, have not as yet generally transpired through the
prtss, lest their publication might tend to defeat the arrest of
of the ilecii=tql, dgaihst iahrim a warrant has issued. It ap-
pears that Mr. C-1, an attorr}6y; hitherto holding a highly
respectable rank in the profession, and the sou df an eminent
merchant, has been for some time past lavish of his p oftSa-
sional favours upon Mr. C—, a barrister, living in one of
our most fashionable streets, bringing him deeds, decla ation',
and other documents in the way of his prof ssion, with the
quiddam konorariuni in every case. The lawyer's profes-
sional triends were naturally jealous at not getting a share
of the attorney's business, but the greatest intimacy pre-
vailed between them, to which these marks of favour
were naturally attributed. All went on smoothly until
Saturday, when the attorney called upon his friend the
lawyer, wishing to see him, but being particularly en-
gaged. he was denied. The attorney asked to see the
mistress, and was at once admitted to the parlour, where the
lady sat. The usual warm and friendly salutations passed, but
he had not been long in conversation when he commenced the
most fervent expressions of admiration for the lady, protested
that it was to gain her love he had so patronised tier husband,
then seized her by the waist, and proceeded to the most rude
and infamous measures. The lady screamed violently, ran to
the sideboard, and seized a knife to defend herself. The hus-
band and servants ran, attracted by the screaming. and in the
consequent struggle aid scuffle the husband fell, taking advan-
tage of which Latitat contrived to escape. One of the city
Magistrates was sent for; he took the lady's informations, at
once issued a warrant for the delinquent, and placed it in the
hands of a confidential constable, but as yet he has not been
able to make the fellow amenable. The affair, in the circle
where it has transpired, has caused the utmost astonishment as
well as indignation.—Letter in the Post.
The 3lnniteur Parisien states that a person named
Brignola issued circulars some time since, stating that four
schools for forming young sailors were about to be opened at
Havre, Nantes, St. Malo, and Dunkirk; that the plan had
been approved of by three of the Ministers, and was under the
patronage of several persons of respectability, whose names
were quoted. On the payment of 300 f. ready money, boys
were to be admitted into these shools, from the age of 12 to
21 ; and in consequence of this, a certain number of boys
were confided to the care of the person in question. Instead
of their being sent to the towns mentioned above, they were
retained at Paris, and kept in a sort of barrack, under mili-
tary regime, in the rue Jean-Goujon. " The Prefect of Po-
police," this paper adds, " on being informed of the existence
of this establishment, made inquiries, and found that Brignola
had not received any Ministerial sanction ; that the pretended
naval school was in fact only a primary school, without any of
the guarantees of morality and capacity required by the law.
About thirty boys were found in it badly clothed, armed in a
grotesque manner, some with swords, some with pikes, and
others with boarding-axes, who were going through naval exer-
cises and manoeuvres in a room, called "I' he Ship, in which
several pieces of artillery, no longer serviceable, were placed.
The arms and papers discovered in the establishment have been
seized, and Brignola has heen placed in the hands of justice."
A few days since, at a late hour in the evening, a well-
dressed man entered the shop of Mlles. Roche, mercers and
milliners, in the Rue Saint Denis, and having put questions
which satisfied him there was nobody there but the younger
sister and two workwomen, he drew a dagger, and threatened
to murder them if they did not give him all the money they
had. Far a moment they were all panic struck, but one of them
soon recovered her presence:of mind, drew the others through
the back shop, and thence by a side door into the court-yard of
the house, and called for assistance. The place was almost im-
mediately surrounded, but the thief had as promptly made his
retreat, and could not be traced.
The two men who made the attempt to rob the
widow Boulanger, Beau-Marnis, near Calais, in the night of
the 20th of November, against which she defended herself with
so much heroism and success, were brought to trial on the 10th
inst. at Saint Omer. The old woman appeared in Court, and
gave her evidence with distinctness. It was corroborated by
other circumstances, and the jury declared both prisoners guilty.
They were accordingly sentenced to hard labour at the hulk 3
for twenty nail,
place at 6alais. and to stand on the pillory in the market
Mlle. Capdeville, of the Opera Comique, who was
married 16 months back to M. Le Borne, applied on Tuesday
to the Tribunal de Premiere Instance, for permission to be al-
lowed to give proofs of serious injuries inflicted on her by her
husband, with a view to obtain a separation. The Court, after
hearing counsel on the other side, rejected the application.
