PUBLIC 4 rmpzi a

The Deputy-Chairman of the Markets Committee
for the City appeared at the Mansion-house on Satur-
day, to confer with the sitting Magistrate on the sub-
ject of Bartholomew Fair. It was then stated that
the Lord Mayor evinced the greatest anxiety that the
abolition of the fair should take place during his
Mayoralty : his Lordship will open the approaching
fair privately, and the public will be given to- under-
stand that the Magistrates sanction it only for mer-
cantile purposes. The proclamation not taking place
till the afternoon of the eve of St. Bartholomew, in'
stead' of half-past twelve o'clock on the preeedinF,
night, will have the effect of the " custom
of "Lady Holland's ifob," and dissipate their irregu-
lar orgies.

LAW AND POLICE.
The trial of the six prisoners for the murder of the
policeman at Bristol took place at Gloucester on Fri-
day. The sentences on the prisoners are as follow
"Manslaughter" against Charles Dwyer, William
Dwyer, and Regan, acquitting the other three pri-
soners. Charles Dwyer has been sentenced to trans.,
portation for life, and the two others to ten years
transportation.

ELECTIONEERING.
To-day (Monday) is fixed for the nomination nt
Ipswich, and to-morrow for the polling. The only
joint candidates in the field at present are Captain
Gladstone and S. L. Fox, who are prosecuting a vi-
gorous canvass.

THEATRICAL.
The Opera season terminated on Saturday nights
the cast of Otello as on Thursday. Ihe Nit-
tional Anthem was sung, and the curtain descended
on Cerito's Alma, in which she was unanimously
solicited to repeat her brilliant revolving step in bet
own beautiful pas de trois. Mr. Lumley has shown
much tact and spirit in the management of this seasco
and warrants fair expectation for the season of 1843.

LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.
M. Tsearing, of Munich has, according to Gerniao
accounts, produced a most unexpected addition to the
powers of the Daguerrotype, that of producing natural
colour on the plate, as well as the usual form and
chioro scuro.

ATONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The state of the country still continues to occupy the
greater part of the attention of corutnercial men,
alto lire anxious to peruse the accounts. The
letters received this morning are more satisfactory,
and especially from Manchester. Although much ex-
eiternelit prevailed, still less fear of serious consequences
is exhibited, inasmuch as it is believed that the workmen
themselves tire inimical to the movement, and are actin;
only from pressure from others. Two mills had bees
kept going, protected only by their own enlist's, and i‘
Ives expected that others, this morning, would follow the
example ; business, however, was wholly suspended.
The Money Market has been in the same languid con-
dition to-day as it was at the close of last week. Con-
suls, having been as low as 94,- have improved to 91
for Money and for the Account ; Three pet- Cents. Key

premium.
The Foreign Securities are without material alteration
and business to-day has been in Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. at 52; the Five per Cents., 100; and Danish
at the advanced price of 631.
The arrival of more specie from Mexico has causedl
no advance in the quotation of the bonds, it being 354.
In the Share Market London and Birmingham Thirds
have been sold at 60:i ; Great Western, 891 ; Umiak
Western, 62 621 ; South Eastern and Dover Scrip, 6+
and Brighton Loan Notes, 10i.
The Bonds quoted to day are Portuguese Five per
Cents., 331 ; Spanish Fire per Cents, 20+ ; and the
Three per Cents. 19i ; all time bargains.
The ship letters arc extremely numerous and impor-
tant, especially front South America. The accountsfrotin
Mexico are to the 27th June. It would appear that Santa

array.a. The form of a new Constitution had been
laid before Congress, which it was supposed would ma-
terially assist the plans of the President. Business con-
tinned to be very dull, arising partly from political
causes, and partly from the uncertainty of the relations
between Mexico and Texas. A further remittance t."
100,000 dollars is received by this vessel.
Intelligence from ilio Janeiro to the 19th June has
come to hand. The improvement in 'trade, noticed
by the two last arrivals continued, but the amendment was
slow.
