have no interest in their quarrels about the ar-
rangements of- their • respective establishments,
but we cannot allow the Post to boast that M.
Lamurtine'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 ofthe honour which
the Post can claim exclusively is the bad trans-
lation.

COMMUTATION OF 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 3,8251.
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 47,975/., 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 sinall in-
crease.

MONE Y. and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
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., 1003 101*; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 i 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
324 ex div.
The Share Market has been almost without busi-
ness—Great Western, 81i 82 ; the Half-shares, 59f ;
Northern and Eastern, 35 36 ; and Brighton, 35*,
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 354, and
another in the Spanish Three per Cents. at 204.
By comparing the ayirage weekly circulation of
the kingdom during the four weeks ending the J7th
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
6ff is universal throughout
the kingdom.

We understand that on and after the 2d of January
next, the different banking-houses in the City will
close at four o'clock instead of eve, as at present.
ASHFORD.—SOUTH-EASTEIV,Ni RAILWAY. —The rail-
way works in this neighbourhood are proceeding right
merrilie, and expectations are considerably raised
that the whole line to Ashford will be done by
November. It is said the contractors are to have a
refresher should this be the case. The omnibuses,
coaches, &c., are full each day, and the post-horses
will doubtless be happy when the Ashford terminus is
reached. All is bustling activity.—Dover Chronicle.
THE STADE DUES.—The German papers state the
new Stade duties are to be, instead
.of 1-16th, the
most that Hanover had any right by treaty to
demand, 1-sth; but English produce is only to pay
1-Bth. It is clear that King Ernest has neither the
right nor the power to levy the ten-thousandth part of
these duties, and every sixpence levied in consequence
of this treaty on English goods, or English subjects,
will be taken from them by their own Government to
give to the King of Hanover. Instead of protecting
the English against all such exactions, our Government
actually lends its power to another State to plunder
them.
