MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

rnom TOE MORNING PAPERS or TIIIS DAY.

TI:11.--The early appearance exclusively of the Indian
news in these columns excited great interest in the City. The
loss of Glinznee has nut created any great surprise, as it was
pretty generally anticipated; and this unfavourable intellgence
is considered to be more than compensated far by the forcing
of the Khyber Pass. On the whole, affairs in that quarter of
the world are not thought to be in so desperate a condition as
roesat first supposed.
In the advicea received from the North to-day mention was
made of the failure of Messrs. Hardie, a firm engaged in the
talldw trade at Leith. Here the event is regarded as of no
great importance.
SUN.—The uneasy feeling which was noticed to exist some
fortnight since, has been revived yesterday. Immediately before
the close of business, without any particular cause being assigned,
the markets all gave way. The state of onr relations with
some neighbouring foreign nations are not looked to as being con-
ducive to speculations' for a rise in the funds • and although no
outbreak is expected, still a fear is visible ;hat some serious
misunderstanding has, or is likely, to take place. It cannot be
concealed that a desire appears to exist among a powerful party
on the Continent to encourage a hostile feeling towards this
country,and that the party have not only succeeded in this par-
ticular object., but have also attained a considerable influence.
The preparations about to be made by the nation in question
have caused some apprehension that the amicable relations,
which have been sustained for• a long period, may, in conse-
quence,. be shortly interrupted, and hence the indisposition
shown by the larger capitalists to enter into speculations.
The funds were .qtliet during the day, but with a somewhat
downward tendency, a largo purchase by an influential broker

SALE OF ESTATES.----Mr.
son, of London, has 'commenced selling at tl.e t snmeretal-
buildings, a portion of the estates of the Earl ofCharlrv,lle, in
baroey Keory, and countyt, of Limerick, producing at
~resent (low ):rents nearly 7,00. per annum ; the whole being
divided into forty-eight lots. Sever.:l English capitalists, who
• great number of
cane over specialty- for the occasion, and a
agents, were in
at-
country gentlemen, solicitors, and other
tendance. There was a spirited competition between General
Caulfield, Captain Hipson. and other capitalists from England,
the
but they did not purchase anything. The whole of t
ro e
propertyar
told yesterday averaged, one lot with another, thirty
purchase, one having brought the enormous sum at for,ty-mforty-nine.A rich treat will be afforded to the lovers of wettish
song by going to hear Mr. Wilson on Monday-evening, at Store-
street. At the same time the most lively feelings will be
awakened in the mindsint the audience, by the interesting and
R picturesque aearanee cf the whole of the children belonging
to the Caledwan Asylum, clothed in the Highland Garb, who
will be there to listen, with youthful enthusiasm, to the wild
war song which so often urgi d their fathers to the fight, or to
the idaintge melody cf the Highlanders' lament upon the
murder of Glencoe—the tearful " Lochaber no more," and the
all-exciting " Tullochgerum." We hope there will be a good
attendance, and sincerely wish Mr. Wilson that success which
he so justly merits.

LANDLORDS AND THE INCOME-TAX.--IVe find that
the Ear' of Scarborough has been placing a yearly -rerifal upon
small tenants who have hitherto paid a • nominal acknowledi
anent. This is another of the effects of the iniquitous Incorne-:
tax ; the poor have tten induced to believe it would not reach
'them, but it wi'l be grievouslyfound to the contrary. Rents
are being raised and wages lowered, and so the detestable in,
come impost will be paid —Nottingham Review.
