MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAL
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mille,
which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10-id. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.82, and
the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.45,
it follows that gold is 0.52 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 428
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 1 old.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 61,
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13. Bf, it follows that gold is 0.93 per cent. dearer
in London than in Hamburgh.
The Government broker was again a seller of stock
to-day for bank-notes, and did a good deal of business.
This, of course, made money scarce and prices flat ; for
whereas, in the early hours of business, not more than
3 per cent. could be got for money, 5 per cent. was the
current rate at the close.
ADVERTISER—We have accounts of the 2d inst.
from the Christmas fair of Leipsic, which state that
although the number of foreign buyers present exhibited
a falling off, the agents of the Levant houses had made
some large purchases. A strange accusation is brought
.against the agents of an attempt to introduce light gold
into circulation, but which is said to have been frus-
trated. The state of the fur trade is much complained
of in these advises, and, in addition to the mildness and
uncertainty of the winter, the absence of any demand for
furs in England, on account of the China market, is as-
signed as a reason jor the depression. Cheap Prussian
cotton fabrics sold well, but not at satisfactory prices for
.he manufacturers. There were large sales in iron goods.
The new scale for dues to be levied at the passage of
the Sound, as fixed between this country and Denmark,
had force from the Ist of January instant, vessels of all
nations participating in the benefit of the reductions
made, and which there is every reason to hope will be
found more advantageous and more lucrative to the Ex-
chequer of Copenhagen itself, by promoting an extension
of navigation in that quarter.
SUN.—The public securities left off rather heavily this
afternoon. Consols for Money at 88i, and for Account
at 88i to 89. The sales of the Bank brokers were re-
sumed again to-day. Exchequer Bills ruled at 18s. to
20s. premium, and India Bonds at 9s. to I Is. premium.
Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 99 to 994.
There was a rise in the quotations for bills of ex-
change on most of the Continental drawing cities. Paris
was done at 25f. 771 c. to 80e. ; Hamburgh at 13 11*;
Frankfort at 150, and Trieste at 9 62 to 53.
There-was not much speculation in any of the Stocks
except Mexican, which ruled a shade lower. The
Queen of Portugal's Speech had but a slight effect upon
the Bonds.
The Share Market was very quiet, and the leading
Railways were about the previous quotations. Great
IVestern realized 22, the New 11 ; Birmingham, 79i
premium ; Brighton were 12k, and Croydon 11 discount.
Union Bank of London shares were 4 discount.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.

TWO SISTERS AND A BROTHER D ROWNED. —Last
evening a lengthened investigation took place at the
Windmill Inn, Clapham Common, before Mr. Higgs,
Coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, to inquire into the
circumstances connected with the deaths of John Bunce,
aged 21, Caroline Bunco, aged 18, and Ann Bunce,
aged 16, the son and daughters of a respectable widow,
carrying on the business of a grocer, in Acre-lane,
Clapham.
John Harris, an excavator, said—On Monday
afternoon, about a quarter past four o'clock, I was
standing by the side of the pond, called the Long
Pond, on Clapham-common, when I saw five per-
sons, two young men and three females, standing by the
side of the pond. The two young men and two of the
females got upon the ice and walked to the north-end of
the pond, and then turned to go back. When they had
got about one-third of the length of the pond the ice
broke and let all the four persons into the water.
They struggled very much, and I and another has-
tened to assist them, and got Miss Ann Bunce out.
She looked back, and seeing her sister struggling in
the water, went to the edge of the broken ice to rescue
her sister, when the ice again broke, and she was a
second time immersed. They were all struggling for
nearly a quarter of an hour before either of them sunk.
By this time a scaffold pole was procured and pushed to-
wards them when the cousin of the unfortunate! family
got upon the pole together with John Bunce, when the
latter lost his hold and again sank. The cousin was saved.
Henry Gilbertf.servant to Mr. Cherry, of the Rookery, '
Clapham-common, said—l went to the pond to treak the
ice for the horses to drink. I heard a screaming, and
on looking up saw four' perS'ons struggling in a hole in
the ice. I ran to thii.r assistance. Miss Ann Bunce at
that tithe had a piece of stick in her hand. I suc-
ceeded in getting hold of her hand, when the
ice broke, and .1 was pulled into the water.
She clasped hold of me and turned me over two
or three times. At length she- caught hold of my
hand with her teeth, and severely bit it. (The witness
here showed. his hand, which was much lacerated.) I
then got hold of her hand, and succeeded in getting
within foie rounds of the top of a ladder which was put
out, when she again pulled me back. I then got:hold of
a boat-hook, the female convulsively_ grasping my leg.
She screamed " Oh, do not leave me," and immediately
fell back. I was dragged ashore, but rememb6red no-
thing after.

A-Ju.ror inquired of the summoning officer the depth
of the pond, and the answer was that there was ono foot
of soft mud, and 6i feet of water, and that there was no
protection.

Several other witnesses were examined, and a
lengthened discussion took place as to the best means of
preventing such fatal accidents, when the Jury returned
a 'verdict of " Accidentally Drowned," and added that a
parish meeting should be called.to take immediate steps
for providing, some protection to persons who ventured
on the dangerous ponds in Clapham Common.

SADDLEWORTH.—A numerous meeting of
the inhabitants of thifi'towr!, opposed to the Corn-laws,
was held last week. Giles Shaw, Esq., was called to the
chair. The speakers were the Rev. J. Holroyd, the
Rev. Mr. Tompson, Mr. W. Nicholson, James Lees,
Esq., Mr. J. Greaves, -- Bent, Esq., and other gentlemen.
They drew a frightful picture of the condition of the
people, of our prospects as a manufacturing country, and
spoke of their conviction that unless the Corn-laws and
Provision-laws were speedily repealed, that England
would soon be one of the most wretched and miserable
countries in the world. A number of spirited resolu-
tions were unanimously passed ; the last was to the fol-
lowing effect—that it was the duty of the people to re-
quire compensation from the landowners, for the spolia-
tion which they had already suffered by the Corn and
Provision-laws.

slander of their wretched libeller. The women of Great
Britain alone would subscribe one hundred-fold the neces-
sary expense.

Now when, or upon what occasion, was the
high-minded, generous-hearted nobleman here
lyingly alluded to, ever heard to cast a reflection
upon the character of the fair sex of this or any
other country ? Lord MORPETH repeat the slan-
der of the libeller of his countrywomen 1 Never.
If England has produced a man who would be
the last of all others to utter a disparaging word
of women, that man is undoubtedly Lord MOH-
PETH. And as to the repetition of the stale-,
thread-bare calumny about Mr. O'CoNNELL, it
is enough that that gentleman solemnly declared
in our hearing, arid that of hundreds besides,
in the House of Commons, that he never
uttered the words attributed to him reflecting
upon the chastity of Englishwomen, to justify
any gentleman, or public writer, having a due
regard to his own character, to treat it with
silent contempt.
With a view to cool the ardour of the Libe-
rals, the Tories pretend that, if elected, Lord
MORPETH would not accept the representation'
of Dublin. We believe this to be altogether
untrue. Lord MonPETH must entertain too high
a sense of the honour done him by the Irish
metropolis, to dream for an instant of declining
it. Were his Lordship asked to put himself
forward as a candidate for the representation of
Dublin, very possibly he might refuse; but it is
quite another thing to be returned unasked as a
Member for that city. So far as concerns the
best interests of the Irish electors, it would be
impossible for them to select a better, or more
influential and judicious representative than the
Noble Lord who so recently and so praisewor.
thily filled the office of Secretary for Ireland.

We do not agree with our Contemporaries
who find fault with the Ministers for admitting
the sham deputation of the Short Time Com-
mittee to their presence. On the contrary, we
hail with pleasure every deference which they,
as the representatives of the aristocratic faction,
show to the working classes, and trust the good
example will be followed in other cases. It is a
proof of the growing power of the democracy,
and an assurance that, whenever it is united and
resolved, the 'aristocracy will not only listen to
its prayers, but run to obey its commands.
After such humility, the Ministers cannot,
without the imputation of partiality, refuse to
see deputations from the besieged and starving
people of Bolton, from the decaying spinners of
Manchester, from the perishing hand-loom
weavers of Carlisle, from the remnant of the
once flourishing Stockport, from the real opera-
tives of Leeds, from the alms-nourished spectres
of Paisley, and from all the other starving and
suffering bodies in the community, not excluding
the down-stricken agricultural labourers, whose
wages have lately been reduced in several places
from los. to Bs. a week. Encouraged by the
condescension of the Ministers, who profess
great anxiety to learn from the unrepresented
operatives the true state of the country, and
their opinions of the causes of the -general dis-
tress, we are disposed to advise all these bodies,
if they can possibly raise the funds, to send up
deputations of two or three persons to lay their
case before the Ministers. If they can only
procure an introduction from some Tory Mem-
ber, they will be admitted into the presence of
the man, with a heart, who is noW Prime Minis-
ter; and if his be a human heart, their tale of
woe will fill him with sorrow and with shame.
He ',nay not, like JUDAS, hang himself, after
hearing the harrowing evidence of his own mis-
deeds, but he will not be able to escape the con-
viction that, where JUDAS betrayed one to death,
he has betrayed thousands.
That the Ministers were deceived in the cha-
racter and authority of the deputation intro-
duced by the Tory Member for Leeds, is no
fault of theirs, except that it is another proof of
their profound ignorance of what concerns the
people. They admitted the Tory-trumpeted
deputation to their presence to lessen their igno-
rance, and are not to be blamed for the deceit of
others. How could they know, unless Mr.
BECKETT should have been so indiscreet as to
Muller it out, that the scheme was devised, as is
said, by Mr. OASTLER, who is also said to have
drawn up the reports, and is believed to have
handed them to the Times, seeing that Mr.
OASTLER was then, and is now, a prisoner in the
Fleet ?

How should Ministers know that the persons
who presumed to intrude into their presence,
led by Mr. BECKETT, were, as the Morn-
ing chronicle says,
." a knot of subordinate
Socialists and • Chartists?" How should they
know, as they have ever turned aside
with horror from Owenism, that Mr. G. A.
FLEMING and Mr. Joinua. HoasoN were the
doubles ofMr.OwErr and Mr. FEARGUSO'CONNOR,
the former having been the editor of a Socialist
newspaper, and the latter Mr. O'CoNNon's
Leeds publisher ? How should the aristocratic
RICHARD PLANTAGENET, Duke of Buckingham,
or the father-in-law of Viscount VILLIERS,
know whether MARK CRABTREE were or were
not an ex-door-keeper of' the National Convect
tion, an agitator against the Poor-law, and a
partisan of Mr. WALTER at Nottingham ? How
should they know who is Mr. LEACH or Mr.
Trims BROOKE, or whether they lived in London
or Yorkshire ? The character given to these
persons by the Morning Chronicle, in an article
which we copy, and als6 given by the Man-
chester Guardian, in an article which we in-
serted in The Stun on Monday, was probably not
known to the Ministers, whatever might have
been the knowledge possessed by Mr. BECKETT.
1-le 'is answerable for having betrayed them into
giving a cordial reception to a "knot of subordi-
nate Socialists and Chartists."
He is not answerable for Sir JAMES GRAHAM
not having spurned the deputation front his pre-
sence when it propounded a new appropriation
of manors and Crown lands. He is not answer-
able for the cordial approbation given to Socialist
.doctrines by the Duke of BUCKINGHAM—for his
14offer of service, and for his calling the pious
Lord ASHLEY the friend of Mr. FLEMING, Mr.
HOBSON, and Mr. CRABTREE. He is not an-
swerable for Sir ROBERT PEEL denouncing ma-
chinery, while he held down his head to conceal
his tears at the recollection of wealth acqnired
by the toil of children 'in his father's mills ; or
for Mr. GLADSTONE speaking of the Socialist
views as some of the gravest matters which could
be 'submitted to the deliberations of the Cabinet."
Mr. BECKETT is only answerable for the deceit
practised on his friends by representing these
men as a deputation from any nutnerous and
respectable body, and they arc answerable for
the encouragment they are reported to have
given to the silly views of ignorant and mis
chievous would-be law-makers.

1 There is another party much to blame, we
think, in this whole matter. Though the reports,
as published, are not yet denied by the Minis-
ters, it is certain that they are coloured, not to
say distorted; and equally certain that the depu-
tation was, in truth, a fraud. Now, there can be
no doubt that these circumstances, and all the
circumstances connected with the getting up the
reports, were known to those who published
them. In the columns of the cautious Times,
which will never send forth a statement without
having the name of its author, these reports first
appeared; that journal, therefore, knows the
whole history of them. But they are a fraud on
the public; and we charge the Times with being
cognizant of the fraud. Who else may be a
party to it, we know not. The Chronicle says,
Mr. OASTLER; and as that gentleman has been a
coadjutor of the Times, he may have been con-
cerned in foisting the fictitious statements of a

sham deputation on the public as genuine
"chapters in our social history." But with the
Tunes, so far'as the public is now aware, rests the
guilt of palming on the public, as- a true account,.
this literary and historical fraud.

" A❑ Old East Indian" writes Withjostindig-
nation against the appointment of Mr. LYALL, SOll
of the Chairman of the East India Directors, to
the important office ofJudge-Advocate of India.

He is only twenty-four years of age, and con-
sequently has had no practice at the bar to en-
title him to fill such a post. We can make
allowance for the anxiety of a father to provide fur
his son, and also for the partiality of Tories to
candidates professing their 'political principles,
but theie feelings cannot justify such a wanton
departure from the rule generally observed
in making legal appointments. In England,
if a young man, merely from his power-
ful interest, were raised over the heads of
many others, as in this instance, the bar would
consider themselves insulted and disgraced- Will
the bar of India, and .the millions of inhabitants
that trust to the Courts of Law for protection,
view this appointment in a different light; or will
their confidence in the Home Government be
strengthened by such a gross instance of jobbing ?
India is of too much importance to this country
to be treated with such marked contempt; and
we therefore confidently trust the Board of Con-
trol will not sanction the nomination of the
Directors.

Madrid Papers have been received of the 3d
inst. They are destitute of any news of interest.
The Correspondent of a Contemporary, writing
from that capital on the 3d, says :
The news of the protest of the bills recently sent to
London for the payment of the British Legion, caused
rather a sensation on 'Change today. I understand, how-
ever, that the occurrence was accidental, and that the bills
in question will be regularly paid. The Spanish Govern-
ment, were in no way to blame in the matter. What-
ever promises Surra y Run has hitherto made he has in-
variably performed. The affair will be quickly righted.
The memorial preceding the estimates is ready, and will
be read during the week, perhaps to-morrow, in the
Chamber.

There is no news of any political interest in the
Paris Journals of Monday. The personal quar-
rel between the King of the FRENCH and the
Emperor NICHOLAS grows stale and as neither
of them are likely to add piquancy to the quar-
rel by personal invectives, the public naturally
grows tired of it. We cannot but observe how
ridiculous it is in a country like France, and an
elected Sovereign like LOUIS PHILIPPE, to ma-
nifest Such extreme sensitiveness. For what is it to
France that the EMPEROR bestows the hands
of his daughters upon the enemies of the reign-
ing- dynasty ? Would the throne of Louts Pill-
LIPPE be less secure, if, instead of a son of EU-
GENE BEAUHARNOIS, the EMPEROR had chosen
to marry the Grand Duchess OLGA to the Duke
of BORDEAUX, or Prince Louis NAPOLEON ?
Not a jot. LOUIS PHILIPPE can never be
dethroned but by France. The only real
danger to his dynasty is to be found in the dis-
content of his people, provoked by the persecu-
tion of the Press, and the unconstitutional con-
duct of the Chamber of Peers. In the September
code his dynasty has a fbe ten thousand times
more formidable than twenty Autocrats of all
the Russias.

On Saturday the Council-General of Commerce assem-
bled for the purpose of coming to a resolution relative to
the commercial negotiations which have beon entered
upon by the Government. No doubt had been enter-
tained that the vote would be favourable, for the Conneil
of Commerce is the only Council of the three at this mo-
ment assembled which has no interest in prolonging the
prohibitive system. The result, however, has not
what was expected. The propositions submitted to them
were as.follows:—The Council expresses a hope that the
Government will make every effort to conclude, treaties
of commerce with Foreign Powers. This proposition,,
which was certainly a very, moderate one, was; after a
discussion of two hours, rejected by a majority of 14 to
12. M. F. Deles2ert voted. against it, because the Com-
mittee, which has assumed the initiative, refused to say
—Good treaties of Commerce. In the same Council a
resolution, expressive of a desire for a reduction. of the
postage of letters, was carried by only a very small ma-
jority. The conduct of the Council is explained if we re-
flect that it is composed of as many. manufacturers as
traders, and that our large commercial towns are but
feebly represented in it. In the sitting of the Council-
General of Agriculture, on Saturday, a resolution 'was
unanimously passed in favour of maintaining the-duties
on import,' from Belgium. The three Councils of Com-
merce, Manufactures, and Agriculture, meet this day.

LORD MORPETH.--A correspondent of the
Morning Chronicle suggests that the sum of
1,4001., collected in the West Ridipg,
,for the
purpose of presenting a testimonial to his Lord-
ship, should be handed over to the Dublin Com-
mittee towards the expenses of the diction.
This is good advice. The Tories have laid down
8,000/. to oppose Lord Alorpeth, and we trust the
Liberals will not be outdone when they have a
candidate so generally beloved.

DEATH OF GENERAL MAIN
WA RING.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, JAN. 11, 1842.—At eight o'clock this
morning, died Lieutenant-General Mainwaring,
aged eighty years, universally respected and
regretted. A better man, or a more charitable
one, could not possibly exist ; his hand was ever
open to the unfortunate as was that of his ex-
cellent lady, to whom he had been married above
fifty years, and all who bad the good fbrtune
to know him, or came within reach of his boun-
tiful hand, sincerely sympathise in her bereave-
ment. Lieutenant-General Mainwaring served
at the reduction of Martinique, in 1794 ; -accom-
panied the 51st regiment to Cormina, in 1808
the expedition to Waleheren, in 1809, where he
took two eight-pounders, and many prisoners;
served in the Peninsula in 1811 ; and wail pre-
sent at the battle of Fuentos d'Onor, and the
second siege of Badajoz.

THE STRATHROGIE MINISTERS.--Although
the death of one of these excellent and venerable men—
(Mr. Cruickshanks, of Marnoch)—has been announced
in the newspapers. we have occasion to know that it

ill
make no change in the relative position of parties
as to Church matters, because his Grace the Duke of
Richmond will confer the.patronake of the parish:on the
son-in-law of the late Reverend Pastor ; and his princi-
ciples are in unison with those of the perkeuted brethren.
