province commercial stiSceptibilities which are entitled
to much consideration, and which have not always
been paid attention to. In such a condition of things,
and in this state of feeling, political -intrigue could
easily act on a people worked on with so little diffi
culty, and imagining themselves wounded in their
privileges and interests. We accuse no one ; but if
already last year, we saw at Madrid and in the Basque
Provinces attempts made to produce revolt, which
happily were
,put down, and we are warranted at pre-
sent in turning our suspicious to the same side, and
believing that those who placed arms in the hands
of O'Donnel, and made a conspirator of Diego Leon,
have not remained strangers to the troubles which
have just agitated Barcelona ? There exists in Spain,
or rather out of Spain, a wretched party, which
clings not to ideas, but to persons, calling itself mode-
rate, but acting only by violence, declaring that it is
friendly to order, and appearing only to cause dis-
turbance, affirming that it is monarchical, but ready,
in order to satisfy its rancour, to compromise the mo-
narchy. This party rejoices at all the evil that hap-
pens to Spain, as if it could profit by such events.
There is no expedient to which it would not have re •
course to create embarrassment to the Government
of Madrid. We have seen it treat with the Repub-
licans, and submit to the humiliation of their disdain ;
and we should not be in the least surprised if it has
at present attempted to turn to account the discontent
of Catalonia, in uniting with what is most in opposi-
tion to monarchical ideas. The past conduct of this
party is sufficient to excite suspicions, and, if those
suspicions be not well-founded, it mmt be allowed
that they have been merited by its conduct.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Still we are all bustle, both here and in the pro-
vinces, on account of the China news; and confidence
in a better commercial future is springing up as if by
enchantment, where previously nothing was ob-
servable but gloom.and despondency. The elasticity
of public feeling surprises even the merchants them.
selves, the most cautious of whom feel themselves
nevertheless irresistibly carried away by it. For
all low priced articles of produce; a brisk inquiry
exists in Mincing-lane, arni as cotton is lower than
last year, there are free buyers for this also.
At Liverpool yesterday, the sales amounted to 10,000
bales, at firm prices. Common and mid. Surats were
id. per lb. higher than yesterday se'nnight, and in
most other qualities a similar advance had occurred.
Railways were much the same. South Eastern and
Dover, New, 184 ; Grand Junction, 183 ; Eastern

Papers of September 5 from the Mauritius contain
no news of any importance.
This morning there have been some go.cd- purchases
in Consols at 943, and more would probably have been
taken but that the price advanced to 941, buyers.
The rate now, therefore, is 941 943 for the first
transfer day, and 951 for Account : Exchequer
Bills have been brought to market, and are lower,
being 575. to 555. and 545. premium. Money is
dearer, and in more request. East India Stock
keeps firm at 266; and Bank Stock at 1711; New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 1013 to 1011 ;
the Reduced, 1004 to 1003 ; and the Three per Cents.
933 to 943; Long Annuities are 121 to 12 9-16ths.
Mexican Stock is recovering a little from the ex-
treme depression of yesterday, though undoubtedly
the over-issue of about 800,0001. by the firm
of Lizardi and Co., sanctioned by M. Iturbde,
is a severe blow to the credit of the Mexican
Government, which might have managed the mat-
ter openly and fairly without violating the terms
of its contract with the foreign bondholders,
and imitating the ignoble trickery of
,Mendizabal.
Had recourse been had to an open loan all this
humiliation might have been spared. The Active
Bonds are 303 to 313. `the grand financial
scheme of Spain is now out, and the
opinion of the dealers may be inferred
from the fact of the Bonds having advanced to the
enormous extent of 3 to 3 per cent. on time bargains.
Another 6,000,0001. is wanted, in return for which we
have more promises to pay, &c. If capitalists them-
selves will furnish the money, well and good,
but in pity, say we, spare your fleecing of the
public. A loan to China would be a far safer
spec, to our mind, if we only took it out in tea. The
Five per Cents. have been 173 to 18 for Account, and
the Three, per Cents. 233 to 223 ; Portuguese New
Five per tents. are 373 to 371, and the Converted
311 to 311, being an amendment. Brazil Stock is 66
to 661; Dutch Two-and-a-Halfper Cents. brought 53.
The Railway Shares are firm. Brighton have
touched 141; and Edinburgh and Glasgow 13 dis. ;
Great Western are 201 premium ; Birmingham 95
premium ; and Paris and Rouen 4 premium. Union
Bank of London Shares are 3 discount.

TO THE EDITOR 'Ol4 THE SUN.
SIB,,—There appears to be so ranch injustice in the
:report published in your paper of the 22d inst., stating
that Mary Morgan had been sent to gaol for " assumed
mock modesty," in leaving her situation, because she
could not pass through the man's room to the one ap-
pointed for her to sleep in, that, I feel every admirer
'of female modesty will do ample justice to this poor
girl's excellent conduct in setting so 'good an example
to other poor female servants, by presenting her with
some proper token of their esteem and approbation of
her truly virtuous deportment, towards which sub-
scription I shall most happily subscribe my sovereign.
How can we wonder at the present increase of crime,
so long as virtue is thus inhumanly treated by the
constituted authorities.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

ti ;An inquisitive country gentleman thus accosted a
boy who was tending . pigs :—" Boy, whose pigs are
those ?"—" The sow's, Sir," was the prompt reply.
" Well, then, whose sow it ?" " Father's." "
well, who is your father ? " "If you will mind the
pig, I will run lame .and ask my mahsr,"
