STOCK EXCHANGE, QUARTER TO Two o'CLocK.—
Five per Cents., end of month, 118 K 85c.; Three per
Cents., 80f. 25c.

A vulgar paragraph, from some oversight,
was inserted in The Sun from the Post yesterday,
respecting another Morning Contemporary. We
have no interest in their quarrels about the ar-
rangements of their respective establishments,
but we cannot allow the Post to boast that M.
Lamartine's speech was communicated to it ex-
clusively. ' We had received it the day before it
was published here. It appeared in the Commerce
on Sunday, and the only part of the honour which
the Post can claim exclusively is the bad trans-
lation.

COMMUTATION or. TITHES.--A return, No. 565,
ordered by the House of Commons on August 12,
to be printed, shows that, betwixt Ist of January and
Ist of July, 1842, the amount of rent charges con-
firmed by the Commissioners, was 101,8181. 7s. 7d.,
and that this sum exceeded the composition and rates
for which the charges have been substituted by 3,82,11.
On the whole, the Commissioners have established
rent-charges in lieu of tithes, to the amount of
2,252,6301., which exceeds the composition and rates
previously paid, by the sum of 47,9751., or the rent
charge has increased the income of the tithe-owners
one twenty-sixth part. They, therefore, will have no
reason to complain while their demand for a full-tenth
of all future increase in the produce is cheaply pur-
chased, if purchased it must be, at such a small in-
crease.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TUBER
Prices of the funds continue good, although no
business of moment has been done in them to-day.
The distrust which the late failures occasioned has
not been removed, and various rumours of other
firms are about, but which have not assumed
any tangible shape, these and the near ap-
proach of Tuesday, when many heavy engagements
it is known will fall due, have caused a great indis-
position for business. Consols are 92i 93 for Money,
and 93 for the Account ; New Three-and-a-Half per
Cents , 1601. 104.; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51; New,
48 50 .premium.
No transactions have taken place in Foreign Secu-
rities, the prices of which are nominally as they left
off last evening. The quotation of Mexican Bonds is
321 ex div.
The Share Market has been almost witheut busi-
ness—Great Western, 81i 82 ; the Half-shares, 59;
Northern and Eastern, 35 36 ; and Brighton, 35,i,
are all that have been dealt in to-day.
Time bargains in the Bonds have also been limited
to one in the Portuguese Five per Cents. at 35i, and
another in the Spanish Three per Cents. at 204.
By comparing the average weekly circulation of
the kingdom during the four weeks ending the 17th
of September, with the similar period terminating on
the 20th of August, it appears to be less by 514,3261.,
which arises in the following manner:—

These figures, coupled with the present rate of in-
terest, clearly prove that the complaints made of a
depression in business are not without foundation.
Were the contrary the case, the heavy payments
usually made to the Exchequer at this period would
rather have caused an increase in the circulation than
a diminution of more than half a million ; to this has
to be added the amount of duty paid on corn, which
has far exceeded what it has generally been at this
particular period. It will also be observed that, with
one exception, the falling off is universal throughout
the kingdom.

The Knightsbridge Complete Suffrage Association
held a meeting last Wednesday evening, at Thornton's
Coffee-house, Knightsbridge-green, to hear a lecturer
who had announced his intention of proving that. the
repeal of the Corn -laws, under the present system of
taxation, would be injurious to the people of this
country. The worthy lecturer, however, failed in
making good his position, by not making his appear-
ance. A discussion on the subject of the Corn-laws
took place, Messrs. Elmes, C. Westerton, Dorey, and
We nnderstand that on and after the 2d of January Stirapson, king t:e speakers, who would, have now
next,- the different banking• houses in the City will been in the house of Commons,. but to the practice
close at four o'clock instead of five, as at present. of bribery and intimidation as usual.
