This morning the market has been very brisk ;
Consols opened at 79f, and went to 79f ; they after-
wards declined a little, but the market looked stiff,
and the buyers were numerous. The rise is attributed
to the late favourable declarations of the Minister,
and the flourishing state of the Revenue for this
quarter. The Commissioners were served generally
by the Jobbers, in Reduced, and gave 784. Consols
shut in-morrow, and open the 26th of July—Five per
Cents. on Friday next, and open on the 22d July.

The Regency Bill was read a second time in the
House of Commons last night, and after a few ob-
servations, committed for this day. Mr. TIERNEY
expressed his surprise, that there was no member of
the Royal Family amongst the persons proposed to
be added to the Queen's Council ; and it is probable
this omission may be supplied in some future stage
of the Bill.

In the House of Lords, the Alien Bill went through
a Committee, and gave rise to a lor.g and warm de-
bate, in which the Duke of Sussex, Lords St DMOVTII,
FITZWILLIAM, HOLLAND, WESTMORELAND, GREY,
and LAUDERDALE, participated. The Noble SECRE-
TARY for the Home Department mentioned, as a re-
markable circumstance, that within the last four

weeks, several foreigners have placed large sums of
money in the Bank of Scotland, with a view to elude
the controul of the Alien Bill, it being ruled by an
old law of that country, that such a deposit has the
effect of naturalizing the person making it. The
LORD CHANCEL' )R, to prevent any improper advan-
tage being taken of this peculiarity, moved a clause,
that no Alien shall be entitled to avail himself of the
Scottish laws relative to the Bank of Scotland, in
consequence of any deposit made since the 28th of
last April; and, after a smart contest, it was carried
by a majority of twenty.

It is with feelings of regret, in .which we are sure
our Readers will fully participate, that we this day
insert an Address from Sir JAN IS SHAW, announcing
that, from reasons of a private nature, he must de-
cline again offering himself as a Candidate to repre-
sent the City of London in Parliament. He declines
an honour, which nobody can doubt for a moment he
would have obtained ; he withdraws from a compe-
tition which it is generally believed would have placed
him at the head of the poll. In retiring at the pre-
sent moment, he retires when his popularity is at its
highest elevation, and when his constituents will have
as great grief in taking leave of him, as he must feel
at being obliged to resign into other hands the guar-
dianship of their rights and privileges, of which he
has uniformly shewn himself so zealous and efficient
a defender.

Immediately on Sir JAMEsS resignation being
known in the City this morning, several committees
were formed for the purpose of considering of a
proper person to supply his place; and application
has already been made to one or two of the most
eminent Merchants on the subject. Alderman BIRCH
has, we understand, declared his intention of stand-
ing a poll.
