The Times thus lectures the Duke of Buckingham and
the Aylesbury Association :—" They ought to be made
:ware that they have not yet experienced the full
force of the feeling which exists against the pro-
tective laws. Many persons, with ourselves, have
hesitated to express their views in this respect, in
their entire strength, from unwillingness to dis-
turb the unanimity of the Conservative party.
But if it is found that by the act of the agricultural
party that union can be no longer preserved, those who
at present hold back will no longer have any reason for
suppressing their entire opinions, and Sir Robert Peel
will then perhaps find, even among his own friends and
supporters, a pressure' for further concession, which will
be, at least, as likely to be effectual in increasing as,
the farmers' movement in preventing, what has been
already promised."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The Funds rallied this afternoon, in consequence of the deter-
mination of the Directors of the Bank of England to reduce the
rate of interest on advances made by them to their customers from
5 to 4 per cent. In point of fact, this has been the more cur.
rent rate in the City for the lz.st week or two, and in all pio.
bability the measure is but the prelude to a funding of
Exchequer Bills. The improvement in prices was 6to per cent.,
Consols for Money being 804 to 69 , and for Time 894 to 89 N.
Exchequer Bills were at a premium of 21 to 24, and India Bonds
were at Bto 10 premium. Bank Stock was rather dull at 1694,
but India Stock improved to 245 and 246. New Three-and.a.Halfs
were at an advance to 98i to 99 ; and the Three per Cent. An.
nuities at 89; to 90k.

In the Foreign Market there was no material movement. Spanish
Actives were flat at 24i, Portuguese New steady at 3q, and
Mex,ican a shade higher, viz. 33 to 4. Austrian Bonds were as
high as 114 Belgian were maintained at 1031, and Dutch Five
per Cents. realised 10:4.
The market for Railway Shares wore au improved appearance,
and prices were tending upwards. Great Western brought 2l
to 22. i ; the New, 11 ; York and North Midland, 38 ; and Bir-
mingham and London, nominally, 78 prem. Brighton were 144;
Midland Counties, 2l ; and North Midland. 34 discount. The
Thirds were at par to prem. Union Bank of London Shares
were 6- discount.

a decline upon the close of yesterday, being now 24A ; De-
ferred, 121 g ; Passive, 54 g. In Portuguese Stock there is
no alteration, the Five per Cents are 324 and the Three per
Centsl94 a ; Mexican Stock have advanced fully 1 per Cent
upon the opening quotations of yesterday, the present price
being 351 36 ; there is, however, but little business doing.
The settlement of the Consol Account is going off quietly,
and up to the present time no defalcation has been announced.
The markets continue to advance, with but a moderate busi.
ness doing.

A few days ago there died, at Lon-le-Saulnier, a
man, who had been one of the most celebrated butchers in Paris,
in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. He went under the mane of
Chariot, and was said to be the man who had carried the head of
the Princess de Lasnballe en a pike.
