Chancellor of the Exchequer, to lessen the expen-

will resort to some financial measures,

• '4O1-1 report asserts that the reduction of the rate of
interest• upon the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. is in
e
"templation. It may be true, that at present
•the clouds in the political horizon, opposed to
an upward movement of the funds, are but few. Were
however it known to a certainty that Mr. Goulburn
fry was decided upon the reduction named, specu-
a-'nu for a fall in the prices of stock would be com-
menced in right earnest. It is, therefore, a subject of
deep interest with the jobbers and brokers of the
hey Market, to watch narrowly the steps of
the Bank Directors in their actions upon the
• .circulation medium. The fact that the Bank
have had their notes out diminished, as is shown
by the last return, and which was analyzed
under this head on Saturday, does seem to favour or

The accounts secured to him.—Bradford
from Castleblayney this morning
are, that Lord Blayney still continues in a very pre-
carious state. In the event of the demise of this
nobleman, the oldest title • in Monaghan would be ex-
, Itnet (the present is the twelfth Lord Blayney), and
th s extensive estates in Monnghan would become the
ro, erty of Admiral Gordon, his brother-in-law, or

The Lord Bishop of Cashel and Waterford still
