REGISTRATION.—A Correspondent has sent us a
paper pointing out the means by which Refor.ners
may disfranchise some of their opponents, and call-
ing on them to exert themselves to take objections
and disqualify Tories. As we have no doubt a similar
communication will be made to other Journals, we
beg leave to caution all Retbrmers against acting on
this advice. Their principle is to extend the suffrage
by all the means in their power. They have de-
manded the abolition of the disqualifying rate-paying
clauses, and they ought not to call those clauses
into activity even against an adversary. They are
too right-minded to annoy their neighbours for the
purpose of gaining a few votes. If the Tories act so
disreputably, let no honest Reformer follow the bad
example. Besides, on the great, and at present all-
important, question of free trade, the Tories of the
middle and trading classes are coming over to our
side. In disfranchising them, therefore, we shall dis-
franchise our own friends. We confidently trust,
therefore, that the Reformers will reject the insidious
advice we have alluded to, should it be offered them.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, MONDAY EVENING
The advance in the Funds, noticed this morning, has not
only continued, but has further increased. Some purchases
which have been made on next account, coupled with the fa-
vourable intelligence of the progress of the harvest, and of the
improved demand for goods in the manufacturing districts, has
given a firmer tone to the market. The private letters
from the various trades in Manchester, Sheffield, &c., speak
less despondingly than they have for some time past. Although
they represent that the deepest distress exists among the
labourers, still, though remote, the masters perceive a pros-
pect of being able, before long, to give additional em-
ployment, by which the present distressing state of
affairs will, at any rate, be partially alleviated. The statements
from Manchester, in particular, are extremely satisfactory, in
comparison with those it has of late been the custom to re-
ceive ; and it is in this town and in its neighbourhood that
the greatest deprivation has been experienced, and any altera-
tion for the better is, perhaps, therefore somewhat more highly
appreciated than it would have been under ordinary circum-
stances; but it may be fairly presumed, from all these accounts,
that the extreme point of depression is past, although much
cause remains for serious apprehension.
Consols left off at 91 for Money, and 91 915 for the Ac-
count; Bank Stock, 1655 1665 ; India Stock, 249 250 ; Ex-
chequer Bills, Old, 48 50 ; New, 46 50 prem.
Foreign Securities were exceedingly firm, although but little
business was done ; the prices of Belgian were 1011/2 1021/2 :
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 51 51/ ; the Five per
Cents., 1014 1011 ; Danish, 80 81; and Brazilian, 63 65.
Mexican Bonds improved to 361368.
The Share Market was good, although scarcely any alteration
in prices has to be noticed. London and Birmingham were
180 181 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 48 50 ; Great Western,
865 875 • the Half-Shares, 614 625 ; South Western, 615
624; North Midland, 59 60; the New Shares, 29 30;
South Eastern and Dover. 225 23; the Scrip, 75 8; East-
ern Counties, 81 94 ; Northern and Eastern, 405 415 ;
Blackwall, 9 95 ; and Brighton, 334 34 per share.
The Bonds were thus quoted—Colombian, 214.1# ; Peru-
vian, 16 17 - Portuguese Five per Cents., 334- 334 ; the
Three per Cents., 195 191; Spanish Five per Cents., 215.
Custom, and the circumstance of these documents still remain-
ing in the official lists, should a bargain be made in them,
render it obligatory to quote them, but as far as real transac-
tions are concerned, scarcely one is entered into in six months.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The amount of business in the English Funds to-day has
been rather more extensive than of late, and in addition to
several purchases for investments, speculators for a rise appear
inclined to operate. Consols have advanced to 905 91
for Money, and 91 for the Account; Three per Cents. Re-
duced, 914 915 ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced,
1008- 1001 ; New Three-and-asEalt per Cents., 100 1005 ;
Bank Stock, 167 ; India Stock, 2485 249 i ; Exchequer Bills,
Old, 48 50; New 46 48 premium.
_ _

Prices of Foreign Securities are firm, and nominally the
same as on Saturday; transactions to-day have been limited to
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 5114 51%; and the Five
per Cents. 10114.
Mexican Bonds are quoted 361,x.
The inquiry for Railroad Shilres has improved, although
but few are cffering.—Great Western, New, 62 ; South East-
ern, New, 7i 8 ; Brighton, 33i ; ; I ondon
and Birmingham, 186; Quarters, 47; York and North Mid-
land, New, 36 ; and Edinburgh and Glasgow, New, 3i.
The Bonds, quoted to-day, are —Colombian, 21i ; Portu-
guese Three per Cents.,l9; and Spanish Five per Cents., 21i.
During the present excitement consequent upon the exclu-
sion of our linens from France and Belgium, it may be inter.
eating to note the state of our trade with the former country
for the last six years. The number of yards of linen exported
to France in 1835 was 1,247,901 ' • in 1836 it was 1,998,958;
in 1837, 3,363,338 ; in 1838 7,633,291 ; in 1839, 6,255,476;
and in 1840, 6,792,485. The quantity of yarn in the year
1835 was 2,384,67811 r. ; in 1836 4,012,1411b5. ; in 1837,
7,010,9N31bs ; in 1838, 11,485,6801b5. in the year 1839,
12,259,25-11bs., and in 1840 13,137,3671b5. Thus it will
be seen that three-fourths of the whole quantity of the
latter article which has been annually exported, has been
shipped to France. The only merchandise received from
that country upon which retaliatory duties could be
placed appears to be wine and brandy. Of the for-
mer the receipts have increased from 2,089,689 gallons
in 1835, to 2,963,475 gallons in 1840, and the latter from
352,159 gallons, in the first-named year, to 546,815 in the last.
Fortunately, neither of these articles form any part of the ne-
cessary consumption of the, people in general, and ran there-
fore well afford to pay any tax which may be levied,
while the exclusion of theirs will be a far more serious -
injury to that nation, than will the prohibition
of our linen be to us. Of the nine millions of gallons of wine
annually returned for consumption here, upwards of seven mil.
lions are the produce of Spain and Portugal, and it is to be
expected that such measures will be adopted with the new
Spanish Ministry tnd with Portugal as may prove to France the
impoliey of her present proceedings.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 23.—The inquiry
for Manchester and Birmingham continues; in other Stocks
no alteration. The sales are—Bolton and Preston, 16i ; Li-
verpool and Manchester, Quarter Shares, 42 ; Lancaster and
Preston, Three-Quarter Shares, 201.

cause of the shot, and found an individual stretched life-
less on the ground, with a horse-pistol grasped in his
Ifand. The man was carried to the Morgue, and was
soon recognised its a shopkeeper at the Barrier de
Sevres. Ile was a married man, with children, and
doing a good business. No motive can be assigned for
the rash act.
