CAPTUf,:i; OF GOOD, TfIE
MURDERER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sta,—Being at Derby this morning, the town was in a state
of great excitement, in consequence of this delinquent being
brought to the County Gaol there, handcuffed to his captor,
who resides at the village of Heanor, eight mile 3 equi-
distant from Nottingham and Derby. The captor, who
keeps a public-house at Heanor, was turnkey at
Derby gaol, when Good was imprisoned about ten years ago.
Good entered his house yesterday, in the capacity of a beggar.
He had a pass, which was pasted on a piece of black linen
cloth, and he had attached thereto a list of all the towns from
Chesterfield to Derby, but nothing about him indicating his
previous occupation, or anything leading to a suspicion of his
being the murderer, except his dress, which was that of a
groom. When examined before Radford, Esq., Ma-
gistrate of Smalley, who committed him to Derby Gaol, he was
very flippant, and professed to be familiar with him as a magis-
trate on the bench at Chesterfield Sessions. His appearance,
in every particular, answers the description given of him in the
posting-bills—his height about Mt. 6in. His captor, whose
name I did not learn, knew him to be Good the moment he
entered his house, and immediately took measures for his
apprehension.
I think you cannot have other information before this reaches
ou.—l am, yours, &e.

THE GLASGOW CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE AND SIR ROBERT PEEL.
The folinwing is Sir Robert Peel's reply to the Address of
the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, approving of the financial
measures of the Government

" Whitehall, April 13.
" Sir,—l have this day had the honour of receiving the re-
solutions which have been passed unanimously by the Chamber
of Commerce of the city of Gla.gow, on the subject of the
financial and commercial measures which it has been any duty,
on the part of her Majesty's Government, to submit to Par.
liament.

It is, I assure you, peculiarly gratifying to me to receive
this document at this time.
" When I reflect that there is probably no torn or dis'rict
in her Majesty's dominions which combines in an equal degree
with the city of Glasgow and its dependencies the interest of
domestic manufactures and foreign commerce, and when I am
assured that that body which is the chosen guardian and
organ of such interests has expressed, without a dissentient
voice, its approbation of the general scope and outline of the
measures I have proposed, I am confirmed in the conscientious
belief that those measures are founded in justice arid sound
policy, and I have every motive to persevere in the mainte-
nance and defence of them when the approval of enlightened
men encourages the exertions which are made from the strong-
est sense of public duty.--I have, &c.,
(Signed) " ROBERT PEEL.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THRER.
The English funds gave way a trifle towards the close of
business yesterday, but without any particular cause. To-day
the market is steady at the decline. Consols being 91, 911 for
Money, and 911 91% for the Account. Bank Stock 1651, 166;
India Stock 244, 2431; the Bonds 18, 20, and Exchequer

Great confusion has taken place in regard to jobbing in Mexi-
can, on account of some Coupons being convertible and
some not ; the generality of the dealers have arrived at
the determination to speculate only in the Bonds ex all
the Coupons, which are quoted 34, and Debentures; Peruvian
which yesterday were raised from 18i to 21 are to-day 191,4,
the advance and decline being equally without cause. Buenus
Ayrean, which were immediately to be paid off, according to
the accounts of the holders, are now without price.
Railroad Shares are without any extent of business. Great

The returns of the circulation of the United Kingdom for
the four weeks ending the 2d inst., show a decrees? of
577,2081. when compared with those of the sth of March.
The Bank of England has decreased 220,0001., the difference
between 16,674,0001. and 16,1-94,0001. Private Banks 10,4051.,
the difference between 5,2 9,0501. and 5.299,4551. Engiish
Joint-stock Banks have increased 56,6701., the difference be-
tween 3,047,6561. and 2,990,986/. The Private and joint-
stock Banks of Scotland have fallen off 140,8191., the difference
between 2,670,290/. and 2,811,1091. The circulation of Ire
land is less by 262,694/., the Bank haring decreased 114,6251.,
the difference between 3,074,1251. and 3,185.7501, and the
Private and Joint-stock Banks 148,069/, the difference be-
tween 2,259,5561. and '2,407,625/. The total circulation of
England was 25,510,706/. ; of Scotland, 2,670,290/. ; and
of Ireland 5,333,681/. The bullion in the Bank of England
has increased from 6,281,000/. to 7,006,000/. a difference of
625,000/. ; this was to be expected from the large arrivals of
specie from South America.
The reduced amount of the circulation argues badly for a
flourishing trade, which has scarcely ever been in so stagnant a
state as it has been during the last few months.
The amended copy of the tariff is so full of blunders as to
excite the ridicule of mercantile men, who view the document
as one which they should be ashamed to have issue from their
counting houses. Several have written to the Board of Trade
on various of the items, and now a third edition is promised.
Accounts from the Mauritius to the sth of January, an-
nounce the death of the Governor, Sir Lionel Smith, which
occurred on the 2d of that month rather suddenly, from effusion
on the chest. Colonel Stavely had succeeded him pro tem.
These papers are barren of mercantile intelligence.

Llvritroor. Corrox Ma artirr' Aram 15.—There was
some increase of demand at the close of last week, which has
been steadily improving since, and yesterday the business was
quite large, amounting to 10,000 bags; and to-day an active
business was kept up. The low scale of prices is, no doubt, the
foundation of the speculative investments, and of the general
confidence which appears to be extending to the article ; at the
same time, the great abundance of money is giving an easy
facility for the importer to hold, and the buyer to pu-chase.
Added to this, the pretty general hope and belief that the now
tariff, when fairly in operation, will have a tendency to put us
in motion, all helps in the same direction.
Hitherto there is nothing in the way of encouragement from
Manchester, and therefore any movement towards an advance is
looked upon very doubtfully; still the common qualities of
American are higher ; this description having been previously,
depressed in the greatest degree, is sure to be the first to feel
the reaction ; these kinds are 4d. higher, and the others the same
as before. The sales of the week amount to 39,030 bags, of
which 12,000 American have been taken on speculation, and
1,500 American, 100 Pernam, 3.50 Surats, and 150 Madras, for
export.
