privilege of free discussion, and that they had
merely informed the lessee of the theatre that
by letting it for any other purposes than those
specified in the license, he would render himself
liable to a penalty of 1001. This communication
certainly was not imperative on the part of the
authorities, as meetings are often held in
theatres for other purposes than dramatic or
musical performances, without the infliction of
penalties; but it is only justice to say that their
interference was an act of kindness towards the
proprietor. An information would probably
have been laid against him by some parties who
cannot see " the necessity and safety. of extend-
ing political power to all classes," and the
full penalty would have been entbrced. This
interview has also been of use in another
resriet, as it will not a little mortify
those Tory journalists who justified the Magis-
trates of Derby for conduct which they disown,
and who would re-establish a system of coercion
and tyranny fatal to the most valuable rights
and privileges of the people. They disown
all such doctrines, as may be learned from the
following liberal sentiments expressed by Mr.

good investment; in the first instance they obtained
from them goodwill and commercial privileges.
"The event not having answered their expectations,
they have been claiming in vain for these fifteen years
the payment of the sums which they lent. The Sultan
answers that he is not personally bound; the Governor
of'rripoli declaring that he is not answerable for the debts
of his predecessors. The Porte has now determined
to offer to the creditors of Tripoli the cession of the
estates of the Caramanli. As land is of no value in
the Regency of Tripoli, the VieditorS refusedthis pay-
ment in kind; but the English Government, under
the pretext of watching over the interests of its ,sub-
jects, is going to indemnify the merchants who ad-
vanced the money, and to take for itself the immense
possessions of the Caramanli. It will distribute them
among Maltese cultivators, of whom it will form a
colony in the heart of the Regency. Then, to con-
nect this colony with Malta, it will erect a fort in the
Gulf of Bengari, and in which it will soon place some
cannon. Most of the encroachments of England
have a similar origin."—Courrier Francais.

MONEY and. COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, SATURDAY EVENING.
The English Funds closed flatly, but without any
particular cause that could be assigned beyond the
general depression of business, Consols leaving off at
92+ sellers for Money, and 93' 93k- for the Account ;
India Stock, 249 251 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53;
New, 49 51 premium.
The prices of Foreign Securities showed a slight
improvement. Belgian, 102 103 ; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents., 5454; the Five per Cents., 104
104 ; Danish, 834 84# ; and Brazilian, 67 68.
The quotation for Mexican Bonds was a shade below
yesterday, owing to a disposition to sell which had
been shown by certain influential holders, and they
were last marked 354 36.
The downward tendency in London and Binning-
ham Railway Shares, which hae formed the principal
feature in the Market this week, has to-day been
checked, and' they have been currently sold at
179 181 ;• Birmingham and Gloucester, 42 44 ;

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.
The Bankers' Circular, published to-day, says :
" The state of money is remarkable, and, in the points
of low value and superabundance of" gold in the Bank
will soon, we think, get into an unprecedented state,
if it be not so already. The Bank has tried to
renovate by advancing sums of money to Railway
and Canal Companies, but confidence in, trading
affairs does not' materially revive, and consequently,
so far no additional amount of bills are seen in circu-
lation. After all the tampering with this critical
'matter, we are apprehensive of having to witness
holders of floating money seeking public securities,
and shrinking from private. The leading bill-brokers
have this week dropped the rate of deposit-money to
2 per cent., and there are instances where they refuse
to some of their old customers to allow any interest
whatever. We have no recollection of this having
been ever before done."
At the StoCk Exchange business continues languid,
though the values of English Securities maintain their
former firniness. Consols for Money are quoted
92+ 93, andfor the Account, 931; India Bonds are
36 37; and Exchequer Bills, (the 1,0001. bills)
51 53 prem.
In Foreign Securities hardly a bargain has been
entered into ; there is not the least disposition to do
business, and the consequence is, the market is nearly
deserted. Spanish Three per Cents. are quoted 21-i
to 21+; Portuguese Five per Cents. 351 ; Brazil, 674
to 674 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 521; and
,Mexico, 36 to 364.

DEPRECIATION OF PROPERTY.—On Saturday last
some of them having double boxes, and a large quantity
four pair of looms, in good condition, with six lathes,
of jacks, treadles, and other articles, used in handloom
weaving, were sold in the New Market-place for Bs. !
To those at all acquainted with the subject, this fact will
at once convey an adequate impression of the dreadfully
depressed state of the haadloom weaving of this district,
a branch of manufactures, which, at one period, was the
source of much prosperity and enjoyment to hundreds of
families, and the means of opulence to many. These ma-
terials were bought by a baker, or some such person, to
use as firewoodB. pslasc sold

and the auctioneer mistaking his observation for a bid,
knocked theta off to him at that sum. Then came an ex-
planation and a dispute. which was settled by the looms
being sold to a former bidder fur the sum mentioned.—

land if the landlords' estates, or the parsons' tithes, were
depreciated to a tenth of
the amount above described.
What inquiries would be called for, what compensation
demanded, what new taxation proposed, to save from in-
jury and destruction, the eaters of rent and the eaters of
tithes!—En. sun.] .
KENDAL TRADE.—The appearances of improvement
here are by no means satisfactory. In the woollen trade
there is a better demand; indeed, the low price of this
description of goods is sufficient to tempt buyers. In
the linsey trade there are as yet no very favourable
prognostications; the manufacturers appear operating as if
they did not anticipate more orders than the next three
months can cororaet„ The fine trade is also gloomy.
Wools continue stationary in price. A good deal has
been done latterly in ileeco wools at former rates. At
Threlkeld fair, on the Ist inst., from one to two hundred
sheets of fine Herdwick were sold at Bs. per stone. At
Grasmere fair, on Monday last, not much was done; but
some good lots were bought at 7s. per stone, being about
the prices recently quoted

A few Friends of Humanity from Union-street,
Borough, have subscribed 14s. for the benefit of the wife
and family of a man named Taylor, who was tried at the
last Old Bailey Sessions, and sentenced to three months'
imprisonment with hard labour, for resisting his " lawful
apprehension by the police" at Kennington-common.—
