MONEY MARKET.

Transactions at the stock board were not large to-
day, but at generally former rates ; Ohio 6's declined
Mohawk rose 1 per cent.
Money continues quite plenty, and loans have
been had at five per cent. There is yet no
movement in business which creates a de-
mand for capital to any great extent. The
specie which flows from this city to the south-
west, for operations in produce, has been pretty
well supplied by receipts from other quarters, and has
not yet reduced the capital seeking employment to an
important extent. The exchanges have been a little
more firm, but notwithstanding that a large amount
of specie is on its way to this country, they show
symptoms of a downward tendency.
A large amount of specie has already been re-
ceived from abroad, yet both here and at the south
rates continue to fall. The large sum, nearly
$3,000,000, sent from New York south has raised
the rates between here and the south, but they are
far from firm.

AMERICAN NEWS

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.

By the packet ship Europe, Captain Marshall,
which left New York on the Ist inst., we have
received papers of that day, being one day later
than those received by the steamer Acadia. They
do not contain news of any interest to the
English reader. The President's Message was,
to be delivered on the sth inst. It was ex-
pected to contain some strong views on the
subject of existing difficulties between Mexico
and Texas, and a recommendation of still stronger
measures,
_in case our pending claims: against
the former Government should not be imme-
diately adjusted. Instructions, it is understood,
have been forwarded to the American Minister
at Mexico, to bring matters at once to
a crisis, and to make a last and formal
demand upon that Government for the
settlement of the claims of the United States
against it; and it is in expectation that this
demand will prove unsuccessful, and give
rise to some _hostile movement on the
part of Santa Anna, that the United States Go-
vernment has ordered a naval force to sail for
the Mexican sea-board, to protect commerce in
that quarter.

The wardmote was held at the ward school rooms,
in Philip-lane, London-wall. The Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor presided in the place of Sir Matthew
Wood, tart., Alderman of the ward. Mr. Packwood
would propose as a thorough anti-monopolist, and fit
to be returned as a member, the name of Mr. David
Dewar. Mr. Beaton, one of the old members, ex-
pressed his strong feeling against an opposition being
entered into against the return of the old members at
the last moment. He had all alonc, expressed his in-
tention to resign, which he would° now willingly do.
—(Cries of " No, no.") Mr. Beaton still persisting
in his resolution to resign, this was overruled by the
Wardmote, aNd a poll was demanded on behalf of the
old members, as well as the new candidate. Mr. Frost
brought forward a motion on the necessity of Cor-
poration Reform in the City, which, after some dis-
cussion, was, on the recommendation of the Lord
Mayor, adjourned till Friday. The numbers at the
close of the poll were :

The late Earl of Dudley laid down the following
axiom on the subject of dinner :—" A good soup, a
small turbot, a neck of venison, ducklings with green
peas, or chicken with aspaaagus,i and an apricot tart,
is a dinner fit for an emperor."
We learn from Belize, that General Morazan, Pre-
sident of the State of Costa Rica, was deposed and
murdered in the middle of September, while preparing
to make an attack on Nicaragua. An insurrection
arose in the capital, and his troops were driven out,
followed by the insurgents ; he was overtaken at a
distance of five leagues, where he was shot, and his
soldiers massacred to a man. This event, adds the
account, shows that the Indian race, at the head of
which is Carrara, the rival of Morazan, are about to
become the masters of Costa Rica, as they are
already of the rest of Guatemala.—Galignani.

LANGBOURNE WARD.

Alderman Sir John Key, at two o'clock, presided,
and the precept having been read, Sir John said the
following nine gentlemen had been returned from the
various precinct meetings, although eight only were
eligible to be elected :—Mr. B. Stubbing (Deputy),
Mr. John Dixon, Mr. Samuel Unwin, Mr. Thomas
Snelling, Mr. James Frodsham, Mr. Thomas Collin-
son, Mr. Wm. 'Toward, and Mr. R. Tulley. A show
of hands being taken, and no poll being demanded on
behalf of Mr. Tulley, the first eight gentlemen, all old
members of the Common Council, were declared to
be elected. Mr. Gude, in a long speech, then moved
a resolution to the effect—" That the inquisitorial
Property and Income-tax having been imposed for
the express purpose of raising money to enable her
Majesty's Government to carry on the war in the East
Indies and China, now happily terminated, it was the
opinion of the wardmote that every endeavour should
be especially used by the citizens of London to obtain
the repeal of so odious and inquisitorial in impost."
Mr. Common Councilman Unwin seconded the motion.
Mr. Smith moved, as an amendment, "That, seeing
the people of this country, particularly the
working people, are greatly benefited by the

" That the wardmote could not separate without ex-
pressing its diaapprobation of the conduct of the sur-
veyor of taxes in the shameful attempts to surcharge
the inhabitants upon the rents of their respective
houses, conduct most oppressive, after the recent
survey to increase the window duty, and ten per cent.
on assessed taxes, the house property in the ward
having then been assessed to the full value." This
motion was carried unanimously ; and the ward officers
having been chosen, thanks were passed to Sir John
Key, and the meeting separated.

THE MINER'S DANGERS. —On Friday morning
last, as Thomas Stevens, of Redruth, was engaged in
the Carnbr
ea Mines, in clearing a pass, the ground
suddenly broke away on him. He was partially dug
out without apparently being much injured; but be-
fore he could be quite extricated the ground broke
away and buried him a second time, and when dug
out he was quite dead.—On the same day Johnson
Rule, a young man of the parish of Camborne, was
killed in the same mine, and 'Hs father, and a person
called Thomas Willoughby, of Illogan, severely in-
jured, by a stull breaking away. The young man,
when taken out of the rubbish, was quite dead, but
the father of the deceased and his, come are likely
to recover, although they were buried deeper than
their unfortunate companion.—West (England con-

23d of February last, and with having committed
divers other robberies.

The prisoner was a young As omen of respectable
appearance, and was stated to be a sister of Mrs. Tib-
bitts, whose name has been lately before the public in
connection with that of the Rev. Mr. Boddington.

The prisoner had been remanded since Friday, on
which occasion it came out in evidence that on the
23d of February last she had called at the house of
Mrs. Myers to inquire for furnished apartments. Pre-
vious to leaving the house the prisoner, under the pre-
tence of having dropped a glove, returned alone to
one of the rooms, from which she was supposed to have
stolen the watch and watch-stand. The latter article
had been lately found in her possession.
A series of other charges against the prisoner was
next entered into, and after some investigation she
was committed for trial.

The opening of the Walhalla at Ratisbon is said to
have been most imposing. On a signal given by the
King, the gates were suddenly thrown open, and as
the fine monument appeared, the song of the Bards,
composed by Stunts, was performed, while the com-
pany walked round the temple. The King, as founder
of the temple, was received by 32 young women, clad
in white, as representatives of the same number of
States composing the German Confederation, and at
their head one young woman, with a gold wreath on
her head, appeared as the representative of Germania.
The Walhalla was open to the public in the evening,
when it was illuminated.

MARKET NEWS.

CORN EXCHANGE.—(FRIDAY.)
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for
our market have been but moderate, yet the supply
on offer here to-day was fully adequate to meet the
wants of the dealers. Most of the finest qualities
sold at late rates, but all other kinds were mend-
ing. Scarcely any Foreign Wheat has come to
hand this week, yet we had a very dull inquiry for
it, at next to nominal rates. The duty remains at
20s. Very large supplies of barley have come to
hand, and distillers' sorts were decidedly cheaper.
The malt trade was dull, at barely late rates. The
receipts of English Oats have been good, while the
inquiry for that article was slow, at unaltered cur-
rencies. Beans, Peas, and Flour excessively dull.

STMETIEFXELD.

As might be expected, the supply of beasts on
offer in to-day's market was extremely scanty, and of
very middling quality; while the Beef trade, owing to
the thin attendance of buyers, was heavy at drooping
prices. Not a single head of Foreign Stock wasbrought
forward—the fresh arrivals embracing 106 horned and
polled Scots from Aberdeen. Although the numbers
cie sheep were scanty, the inquiry for them was inani-
mate, at barely Monday's quotations. In Calves, next
to nothing was doing ; but the primest Pigs well sus-
tained their value. Milch Cows sold at from 151 to
191 each, including their small calf.

There was a large supply of Wheat, and good of other
articles, fresh up for our market. The demand for

with a slack demand at Is. per quarter decline. Beans

The most rational motives to Life Assurance are found in
