to particularise the number of cases to which this
principle is to be applied, and it is unnecessary, for
few will deny themselves the gratification of reading
Mr. Gladstone's speech; but it is enough to say, that
the application will be universal a recognition of
the rights of the colonists which will flatter their just
pride and command their gratitude, while the practical
effect of the concession must infinitely promote their pros-.
perity. If we were at liberty to indulge ourselves, we
could say much upon the glorious consequences vitiCls,

MONEY MARKET ind CITY NEWS;

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TUESDAY.

fidence to the holders of the leaf, and the Tea market is firmer.

another season, and that they may still look for a strict blockade
of Canton. In the meantime they consider that the traffic in
teas must be limited, as the Hong merchants hold at a very
high price, which must be paid in S 3 cee silver, or, if taken in
barter, in manufactured goods at a very serious sacrifice to eur, ,
merchants. Company's Congous have been sold to day at
Is. Witt. per pound, but Is. 11d. per pound has been asked.
We trust the renewed rumours that the Government intend
to repeal the Penny Postage Act are without foundation ; but
unless the public show a determination to resist any increase in
the rates, we much fear that this is one of the means by which
it is proposed to make up the deficiency in the public income.
It is reported that there are fresh symptoms of disorder in
the " united cabinet," on the subject of the eorn-laws.
POST.—The failure of Messrs. Boyd and Co., of Calcutta,
noticed in the Bengal papers, being an extensive one, will, it is
feared, be felt with much severity by the connections of the
house in different parts of the world.
We see that a meeting is called of the Mexican bondholders,
for Friday next, to decide upon the proposition of the agents,
Messrs. Lizardi and Co., which has been lately before the
public. As it is intended to issue debentures for two years'
dividends, out of the four overdue, the other two years being
relinquished in consideration of the French blockade, we hope
that care will be taken to secure to the bondholders payment
of the said debentures, principal as well as interest, before the
general resumption of dividends, to take place in 1844.
It is said that a protest has been entered by certain bond-
holders against the transfer of the money in the hands of
Messrs. Baring and Co. to those of Messrs. Lizardi and Co.,
until the sanction of a public meeting shall have been given to
the proceedings of the Committee, and that more favourable
terms will be contended for; but, from the premises here laid
down, it is evident, that, to reject the proposition of the Mexi-
cans, which embraces in its clauses more than circumstances
seem to justify, would be an act of the greatest imprudenee,
inasmuch as it would endanger alike the present and the future
interests of the unfortunate bondholders at large.
ADVERTISER.—The people of Birmingham have for
some time past had occasion to be dissatisfied with the Post-
office arrangements connected with their town, and a Commit.
tee of the Town Council has at last drawn up a Report en the
subject. In Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, and Bristol, there
are three deliveries a day. A memorial to the Postmaster-
General has been adopted, but not yet presented. It ap-
pears from the inquiries of the Committee that there ate
two deliveries each day by ; letter-carriers within that pait
of the borough, which lies within a circle of a mile and
one-sixteenth from the centre of the town (St. Philip's
Church) ; that the first delivery commences at half-
past eight o'clock in the morning, and the second at half past
five in the evening ; that there are eighteen letter-carriers
employed to deliver letters within the said circle, and that the
time occupied by each delivery averages three hours. With-
out the above-mentioned circle, hut not to the extent of
the boundary of the Borough, there is but one delivery of
letters each day, and that at a late period of the day, and an
additional charge of one penny on each letter is demanded on'
all letters delivered out of that circle. During these inqui-
ries the Committee have received verbal communications from
several and letters from respectable correspondents, com-
plaining of the post-office regulations in the Borough, parti-
cularly as to the inhabitants residing in the outer diltrict,
in consequence of there being but one delivery, and that at
so late a period of the day, and the extra charge of one penny.
The present regulations preclude any extensive correspondence
by the inhabitants through the Post-office, for letters posted at
the principal office at nine in the morning are not delivered in
the outer part of the borough until late on the following day ;
whereas, it is extremely desirable that facilities should be
afforded so that such letters might be received and answered
on the same day. And the Committee respectfully suggest
that the regulations of the Post-office should extend to and
comprise the whole of this borough, and that there should be
three deliveries of letters a day (Sunday excepted) within the
distance of one mile and a-half from the Post-office, and two
deliveries a day in the outer and more remote districts of the
borough, free from any extra charge for such delivery.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY%
TIME S. —The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per milk:, which
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard
gold, gives an exchange of 25 32k, and the exchange at
Paris on London at short being 25 52k, it follows that gold
is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.

By advices from Hamburgh the price. of gold is 429 Per
mark, which, at the English Mint price TA 3/. 17s. 10%d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an hxchange of 13 7, and this
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 9i, it
follows that gold is 0:98 per cent. dearer in London than in
Hamburgh..

SPECIMENS OF PARLIAMEN•-•
TARY REPORTING.
Colonel Sibtliorpmade the following allusion to The Sun On Tuis.
day night in the House of Commons, in his speech oil ese subject of
the Better Regulation of Railways :
" He (the Hon. and Gallant Colonel) thtnlght that suffitiera had
fallen from the public Press on thiti •subic
particular, to one Paper, from w1:1'11.11 he differedrted andin he alluded,
ticalmitt aeint
—he alluded to The Ssen, 0.. comments of which on the unfortu...
nate accidents whichociThrred, were of the most salutary kind, and
whose efforts in urging that some efficient measure should be
adopted to prevent them, conferred great credit on itself."
Ihks wanly and generous notice of a political opponent, caw
11°711ing Contemporaries slur over in the following style :
The Herald says:—" The public Press had also done itself
credit by what it had said on the subject. He (Colonel Sibthorp)
antided particularly to one Paper, from which he generally diftred."
The Chronicle does not condescend to notice either the allusion
to the press in general, or The Sun, in particular, but maintains a
total silence on the subject of both remarks.
The Times exhibits an equal reserve.
The Post contents itself with the following report:—" Sufficient
had been shown in public by the public press, to convince them that
an interference on the part of the Government was necessary,"

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.) •
We regret to have to report, without any immediate prospect
of amendment, the tame flatness in demand, both for goods and
yarns, which has so locg prevailed in our market. Perhaps
the feeling was rendered somewhat more depressed by the lin_
favourable news- from India. Wo believe the commercial
accounts from Calcutta were anticipated to be pretty gcod but
the private letters have not yet come to hand.
HocunaLE FLANNEL MARKET, lelormay, FEB. 7. --
There has been another dull market to-day, and the sales have►
been limited. Those who have purchned have obtained them
to•day at reduced prices. There is no change in the woo
market.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FEB. B.—The same misera-
ble tale must still be told of the state of trade in this
market. Not a sympton of improvement was seen to-
day. In short, it was truly a bad market in every
respect, without a prospect, or almost the hope, of improvement
Prices are nominal and the demand accidental. All is a lot-
tery, with few prizes. Warehouse business is little if anything
better, excepting in a few instances.
