MONEY MARKET.

Considerable tightness has of late been manifested, which will,
we fear, be increased as the tirn., approaches for taking delivery of
the ()plum purchased on the 26th inst.
G,verninent Securities have gtnuraily declined in value, but
Bank Stock maintains ibrmer quotations.

Jute—We have heard of a few sates at Sr. per bale, but the
prunipal shipments continue on native account, and have been
going forward freely ; shipping orders have, we understand, been
granted a, low as 4/ per ton, and in this case we think exports will
continue heavy for some time to come. _ _

Hides, Horns, and Tips—Hides have, since our last, been dull of
sale, and prices have declined, esincially for middling and inferior
quwitics, of which the stocks.are heavy ; nor do we at present see
any prospect of improvement. Imwever, show no
falling elf. Buffalo horns hie,e been in extensive demand for dun-
nage, but, although shipments hove been heavy, prices have very
slightly varied. In deer horns and tips there has ben scarcely any.
thing doing during the month, and pi ices are es before.
. .

111unjert, Ginger, and Turmeric—Satliower has con-
,inued in brisk demand, especially the finer descriptions of Patter.
ghatta, which have been rather scarce, the arrivals of late having,
generally speaking, proved of inferior quality.
Alunjeet has sold at 7r. 4a., for shipment to Great Britain.
Ginger in lio M:mand, except for America, and even for that
part there has nut been much doing lately.
_

Turmeric Las sold to some extent for France at 2r. per maund.

Cowries, Tincal, and Cutch— We have net heard of any sales of
cowries. hut shipments are still going forward to Great Britain.
Tincal has sold to a moderate extent at about 13r. 4a. per md.
Cutch has been in inquiry for France, and we hear of sales at from
6r. 10a to 7r. per md.

Opium—The fourth Government sale of the season was held on
the 26th ult., with the following result, viz.:—
Chests. Average Proceeds
Company's Rupees.
Patna 1,775 ... 1,574 4 0 ... 27,94,300
Benares

These prices were somewhat above what were anticipated, and
were obtained in consequence of immense speculation amongst the
native dealers, who were the principal buyers. Since the sale prices
have not materially varied, and we now quote Patna at Company's
rupees 1,590, and Benares 1,460, per chest.
Shipments have been to a very limited extent, and the stock now
remaining in the Company's godown consists of 3,869 chests of
Patna, and 1,634 of Benares.
Cotton—The last accounts from China were considered rather
more favourable for some descriptions of this staple, but still trans.
actions here are to a very moderate extent, and shipments to China
are light.

and thus uniting, by inland navigation, the provinces of Munster
and Ulster. It is stated that this arrangement would afford
facilities fur the drainage of not less than four millions of acres.

EXCHANGE.

When operations for the present opportunity commenced
buyers acted with extreme caution, and good paper was let off at
Is. 116 d., or evun a shade higher; latterly, however, drawers
having shown more firmness, and the rate has declined to Is. 116 d.
to Is. 11ad. per rupee, the former being an extreme rate.
The rumour which has for some time past been current, that
Government were about to close the export warehouse for ad-
vances, and which must have had some effect on the ruling of
our exchange, is set at rest by a notification which appears in the
Gazette of the 31st ultimo, to the aka that the amount still re-
quired by Government is nu less than 457,871/., for which
amount they are prepared to take bills at the present rate of Is.
10d. per rupee, and as from the time they announced this pre-
viously (22d January ), up to the end of May, the amount drawn
was only at:out 320,000/., it is evident that there is no chance of
this being filled up f,r some months to come.

EYE-BROWS, MOUSTACHES, and WHIS-
KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit
drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of
which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno-
cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak-
ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna-
ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi-
lity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven-
tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the
certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and
strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall-
ing off or turning gray ; a few drops on the crown of the head will
remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at-
tended with faintness ; and is acknowledge d by the Faculty as the
only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo
de calvans (which causes the Hair to come off in patches) ; a few
applications removes dandruff. This wonderful discovery is fully ex-
plained in a pamphlet containing testimonials to its regenerating
new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the
Growth and Preservation of the Human Hair," by W. Grimstone,
Inventor of the Aromatic Regenerator for the Growth of the Human

LAMBETH.

William Shellas and Charles Lopaz, inmates of Lambeth
Workhouse, were yesterday charged with creating a riot and
disturbance iu that building, and assaulting two constables
who had been called in to take them into custody.
From the evidence, it appeared that on the preceding even-
ing, between seven and eight o'clock, a considerable distur-
bance took place in one of the yards of the workhouse, of
which the prisoners were the ringleaders. On the police
being sent for, the prisoners made their way to the room in
which they slept, and on the constables going there to appre-
hend them, they, and about 60 other young fellows, paupers,
fell upon them and used them very roughly, but after a con-
siderable conflict, they were secured.
The constables spoke to both the prisoners having assaulted
them, and they were committed to Brixton for one month
each.

COWPER'S POETICAL WORKS, BY GRINSHAWE.

In a handsome pocket volume, demy 18mo, price four shillings cloth,

THE POETICAL WORKS OF COWPER ;
Correctly Printed from tho Text of the Rev. T. S. GRIM-
SHA WE'S Edition. To which is now prefixed, an Original Preface
by the same Editor.

*0 Little need be said to point out the merits and excellencies of
Cowper, with whose poetry all are familiar ; but what are the causes
that have contributed to the universal popularity of this admired
writer? The answer is, that he is the poet of domestic life ; he
brings all the endearments of Home before us ; he is the poet of
Nature, which he describes in all its diversified aspects ; and he is
also the poet of Christianity, for no man contributed more to the re-
vival of Protestant Christianity when it had sunk to the level of mere
morality. Nor ought we to omit noticing the genuine English feel-
ing and ardent love of his country which so frequently burst forth in
the poems of Cowper. A few copies printed in royal Itmo., price
6s. in cloth, or 103. 6d. morocco, elegant, gilt edges.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 20.
ASHMORE V. LEES.

The appellant in this case claims a vote for the northern
division of Nottingham, on account of a share in certain
prep.erty in the counties of Nottingham and York. The
Revising Barrister was of opinion that the appellant was not
entitled to vote.
The appellant is an inmate of the Earl of Shrewsbury's Hos-
pital, and as such receives a weekly stipend of lOs. 6d. per
week and certain quantities of clothes, food, and fuel. The
stipend, &c., distributed amongst the inmates of the hospital
are derived from certain lands belonging to the hospital,
in the counties of Nottingham and York. If the
amount of stipend, together with the value of the
clothes, &c., received, be divided into parts proportionate to
the values; of the estates in the two counties from which
they are derived, that which the appellant would derive from
Nottingham would be sufficient to entitle him to a vote for
that county, but a proportion of the stipend only would be
insufficient. It was represented, however, that the appellant
was not entitled to a fixed stipend of lOs. 6d. per week, as the
amount varied with the resources of the hospital and the
number of inmates. The inmates were at all times entitled
to a stipend of not less than 3s. 6d., but that no one of them
bad life interest above that amount, which was rot sufficient
to entitle him to a vote. This was one of five objections, but
it was upon the above that the Court decided.
Their LORDSHIPS were of opinion that the decision of the
Revising Barrister was right. The appellant had -no life in-
terest to any fixed sum above 3s. 6d. per week, and, there-
fore, was not entitled to vote.
KNOWLF.S T. BROOKING.
The appellant in this case made an objection to the vote of
the respondent, who represented that the notice of objection
was incorrect in its form. It appeared that the address of
the objector as given id the list of voters was incorrect, but
in the not ice of objection the address given was correct. The
respondent represented that the address ought to be the same
as that on the list of voters ; and, on the part of the appellant,
it was contended that the address ought to be the actual
address of the objector at the time of making the objection.
Their Lordships took time to consider.
The Court rose shortly before four o'clock.
This being the last day for hearing the appeals, those
which have not been entered into will not be heard till next
term.

OREGON.

From the New York Herald of the 6th November, we ex-

The Washington Union is the official organ of Mr. Polk,
and therefore the article from that paper, quoted by the New

American Government in relation to this subject :

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Poirrsaiourx, WEDNESDAY.—Last evening, between 8 and
10 o'clock, an experiment was tried off the King's Rooms of
a new signal light, brought out by a gentleman named
Retty ; the principle of which is a common argand lamp,
with a powerful reflector and lens, by which, and the auxi-
liaries of vari-coloured signal lights, a better means of com-
munication by night at sea may be obtained than any now
in use. This estimable invention is not intended to be em-
ployed in any exclusive service, but is intended as an im-
provement for the adoption and benefit of the entire maritime
world. The experiments last night took place in the pre-
sence of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief
at this port; Captain Sir Richard Grant, Flag-Captain;
Captain Chads, of the Excellent; Captain Stanley, of the
President; Commander Sherringham, of the Dasher, and
other distinguished officers. Another trim of this invention
will take place to-morrow evening (weather permitting) at
Spithead.
The President, 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Rear-Admiral
Dacres, has received final sailing orders. She proceeds di-
rect for Rio. She is detained at Spithead by a gale which
has been blowing with great violence all night and this day,
from the W.S.W. inclining to south, which bids fair to last
some time longer.
Numerous merchantmen, including a French and a Russian
ship, have been compelled to bear up and anchor, and many
fine vessels are prevented from leaving the roadstead; among
them the Royal Albert, 700 tons, Captain Scanlan.
The Thalia, 42, Captain Hope, has nommenced dismantling,
and returning stores, in the harbour, crior to being paid off.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE,

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—A terrific gale has been blow-
ing all night and the greater part of this day front the
W.S.W., which has prevented the President and the other
ships named yesterday from sailing. The sea has beerirun-
ning fearfully high, and at high water dashed over the ram-
parts of the town with great violence, deluging all who from
ignorance or hardihood ventured upon the walls. The Pre-
sident, 50, struck her topgallant and royal masts and yards.
The lower parts of the dwellings alongshore are deluged with
water ; there is every appearance at present of the gale con-
tinuing during the night.
The Victory, 104, Captain Moubray, is still at moorings off
Gosport, during the examination of her, on the other side of
the harbour. The mud-engine is at work over the latter
spot, it is reported, clearing a greater depth than required for
the Victory, as another and larger ship is expected to be
eventually moored there as ordinary guard-ship.
The Thalia, 42, Captain Hope, is rapidly dismantling such
part of her gear as the violent state of the weather will admit
of. Last night as Mr. Puttick, tidewaiter, was on duty on
board her he perceived a boat under her quarter, which with
great difficulty he succeeded in boarding, when he found five
large boxes of Cuba cigars in the bottom of the boat, be-
longing to a waterman knoWn by the sobriquet of " Hong-
kong,' who attempted to row away with him, but the tide-
waiter having seized one of the sculls, pulled the boat round
again, when " Hong-kong " let go the remaining scull, and
jumped overboard into the water, and is supposed to have
escaped; but whether with a less penalty than hewould have
suffered had he been taken is very doubtful, as the tide will
running strong at the time, and the tempest was increasing in
violence every minute. The boat and contexts were taken
to the Custom- house for condemnation.

The Netley tender arrived on Tuesday, from Devonport
with volunteers.

The Hermes steam-sloop, Commander Carr, left Jamaica,
for Vera Cruz on the 10th of October.
The Rose, 18, Commander Polley, arrived at Halifax from
Newfoundland an the 26th ult.

The Pique, 36, Captain the Hon. M. Stopford, was at Bar-
badoes on the 25th ult.

The Vindictive, 60, Captain Seymour, flag of Tice-Ad-
miral Sir F. Austin, Commander-in-Chief on the West India
and North American station, was at Halifax, all well, on the
3d instant, under preparation to sail on the sth for Berinuds,
where the Persian, 16, Commander Coryton, was ordered to
join her.

The Scourge, steam-bomb vessel, is alongside the jetty re-.
fitting. She will have a galvanie apparatus fitted communi.
cating from the paddle-boxes to the engine-room, to super-
sede the services of a man or boy in giving the orders from
the deck to the engineers.
