i MONEY MARKET and CITY N76WS,
FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS' OF YESTK:db.ty,
CHRONICLE.—This wax the first complete day of our
existence as a Cl3Musercial nltion, after the banners of free trade
had been unfurled under the sanction of Toryism. Although
the new tariff act received the Royal assrui on Saturday, it
was scarcely to be called a day, and this was really the first
entire one that has passed since goods in bond could be cleared
at the Custona.bouse under the reduced duties payable by the
new Custom Duties Act. There has been in consequence a
great pressure of business at the Custom-house, as the dealers
in those articles chiefly affected by the change have been keep.
ing their stocks fur surce time past at the lowest possible ebb.
Some considerable activity will thus be experienced in various
branches caner home trade. But the improvement will be con-
fined chip fly, we hear, to those engaged in Importing article,
of consumption used by the upper classes of society. The
importers of French lam; sod shoes, arid manufacturers of
leather, dealers in QV*, extracts, and perfumery, will now sup-.
ply thernselytas with additions to their stock. But these c.baugto

being the first day of the operation of the
new tariff, the semal offices of the "long-room," Custom•'. house, were occupied in the arrangement of the duties. The

day night about half-past five o'clock, and on arriving at the
north end of the yard it stopped for the purpose of having the
bags taken out. 'f he prisoner got down from the box in order
to assist in the unloading, awl placed the bags at the door of the
cart for other persons to take them away. He remained in it
about ten minutes, and on coming out his pockets appeared.
more bulky than vvlicn he entered. Witness approachrd tu ascer-
tain what the pockets contained, but the prisoner ran across the
roast into a public-house, where he remained a shot t time. Oa
his return to the yard, he was again about. to mount the box tia
drive away, and when witness asked what he carried in his pockets,
he replied nothing. He, however, admitted that he had two.
or three newspapers, after questioning him again ; and witness
.took him into the inspector's room to explain the matter. Be-
fore they arrived there, the prisoner said, " Pray, Mr. Peake.
de look over it this time, and I'll never do so again ;" but
witness said, he should st e the inspector, and explain the mat-
ter to him. The prisoner then took from his pocket a bundle
of newspapers, addressed, "Mr. Griffiths, New market-plsce,
St. Helen's, sent by J. Clayton." On being before -the in-
spector, the prisoner took four other newspapers from his
pockets, saying, " Pray, Sir, forgive me this time, and Pa
never do it again ;" and when the inspector asked him how he
had got them,' he said, "in the cart." There were four
other newspapers found in another pocket, and he was Veen
conveyed to the station-house. Witness went, and having
searched his lodgings, 4, Fishev-street, Red Lion-square, found
a parcel of papers produced, consisting of two numbers of the

was sent on Saturday, to the receiving-house of Mr. Jones,
Strand.

Mr. Scripps, a news-agent, Southmolton-street, said he ad-
dressed the four papers produced on Saturday, and he had
every reason to suppose they were put into the post-office.
Daniel Gordon, assistant-publisher to the Era, also identi•
fled several papers which he bad sent to the post-office oft
Saturday last.
Charles Bowyer, a letter-carrier, who acted as a guard to
the cart driven by the prisoner on Saturday night, proved that
on his way to the Post-office they called at Mr. Jones's, in the
Strand, where they took up newspapers.
The prisoner was ordered to be remanded for a few days, to
give time for further intluiries.__,

sault on John Featherstone, by attempting to " gouge' his
eye out. _

The complainant said that the prisoner and he had acme
words, when the latter said that the complainant had been ill
for seven months, and that he (prisoner) would put an end to
him. He then attempted to carry his threat into effect,
by striking him a heavy blow with a stick over the
head, and afterwards trying to scoop out one of,his ryes
with his fcre-finger and thumb, a practice termed " gouging "
in America. The complainant added, that had net a police-
man come up he was confident the prisoner would either have
killed him, or maimed him for life.

FIRE'-,;finpatent.
alarming fire broke out yesterday
at about half-past ten o'clock in an oil and vitriol -warehouse,
situated in Wells-street, Oxford street, belonging tb a Mr.
King, which it destroyed with amazing rapidity, the flames
exhibiting
for a quarter of an hour previously to the arrival Of
the engines, a fearful ascendancy which threatened destruction
to the adjoining premises belonging to Mr. Riddle, a cabinet-
maker, in Wells-street. The timely arrival of the engiu,lie
which, after some delay in obtaining water, played with power-
ful effect, saved this proverty from being entirely involved is
the awful conflagration. We are sorry to state that. Mr.
King's loss is very considerable, and that he is only parti
insured. The origin of the tire is at present unkuowre
