JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET

occupied to-day in making up their accounts for to-morrow;
which is settling day-. The market was -a shade better, and

ney, and for the April account 891. Bank Stock 1651 to 61.

LONDON COMMERCIAL REPORT

WEDNESDAY EvErqugo.—The public sales to-day were
not of importance, and as respects Sugar! and Coffee there
was still c! heaviness in prices.
The Tea market was firmer all day for free trade samples,
and the rates established at the public sale of yesterday were
more than supported. Company's Congou on 'Change this
afternoon got up to ls. 60. per lb.
We observe that 2000 packages of Tea, recovered from the
Mary Elizabeth, stranded off Holyhead, are to be offered at
Liverpool to public competition. This Tea is said to be
worse than the washed and kiln-dried sold here a week or
two back, not having had the salt washed out of it, although
satufated from its long continuance in the water, but being
merely dried and re-packed. If the trade were up in arms
before, on account of a much better parcel being put up here,
what will they say to this ? At Liverpool the auction, when
it comes off, is expected to excite considerable attention.
In Tallow there is no particular alteration. We still quote
prime Yellow Candle 465. to 465. 3d. per, cwt. on the spot,
and about 465. for delivery in three months.

KING'S COUNTY ELECTION

The gross poll on Tuesday evening stood thus
Armstrong
Bernard

Majority
How this majority has been procured, and by what means,
we shall show anon—merely premising that the Pilot, and
the other organs of the faction, were boasting so late as Mon-
day that the majority on the first day would amount to a
considerable greater number—say a hundred—than that to
which at has reached on the second.

Never, in the annals of rabble-ruffianism, was anything
like the occurrences that have taken place at this election.
The day intervening between the nomination and that fixed
for polling—the' Sabbath—was turned to account by their
reverences the priests, every chapel in the county having
.been converted into an arena for the discussion of politics,
and the excitement of party—the altars being the platforms
from whence the most inflammatory harangues were de
while every parish was exhorted to send forth its proper
quota of " men-at-arms" to' defend the faith, and prevent,
by every gradation, from simple intimidation up to absolute
murder, all the electors in Mr. Bernard's interest from
coming to the poll. '
The consequences of this excitement were, that Tullamoore
was invested by an organised and armed mob, exceeding
seventy thousand persons in number ; while the avenues
leading to the town were guarded and patrolled by ruffians
determined to resist, even to the, sacrifice of human life, the
approach of every conservative elector.
A notice has been served on Mr. Armstrong, and on every
elector, that -- A' '

SIR HARCOURT LEES

AND 11

IR. O'CONNELL

'ram Galignan

's _Messenger of _Monday.)
We insert the following at the request of the writer, in an-
swer to a letter from Mr. O'Connell, which appeared in our
journal of Friday last :

5, Place VendOme.
" SIR,—As you have published a letter from Mr. Daniel
O'Connell, addressed to the Morning Chronicle, in which
that loudly-professing loyal and unassuming peace-maker
undertakes to declare ' it to be quite certain that the Irish
people have not in any way tampered with the government of
France, I think it right, knowing the constitutional princi-
ples and objects of this person better, and having more
frequently exposed and earned the British empire against
them than any other man living, I think it my duty to write
a very few lines on the subject, in order to point out to the
French government and your readers the deception intended
by thi4 innocent but accomplished political swindler. Mr.
Daniel O'Connell is perfectly correct when he says that his
Irish dupes and organised ribandinen have not tampered
through their sworn leaders with the French government.
But will he dare to tell me, that there has been no correspon-
dence carrying on for a considerable time past, between the
revolutionists and operatives in this noble and chivalrous
country the avowed enemies and sworn assassins of one of
the best and most enlightened sovereigns that ever sat on the
throne of France and his " Irish people," as he calls his un•
fortunate victims? Will he declare that his Irish loyal staff

and executive we

not privy to the intended assassinzitionhy
rieschi!s infernal machine, at least three weeks before that
demoniac attempt was made upon the life of that most
exalted and magnanimous monarch, and of every similar at-
tempt since, including the last one by Darmes? and will he
deny that, at this hour, the directors of the Irish branch of
the conspiracy are, by every diabolical engine they can pro-
cure, endeavouring secretly to dissolve the amity and alliance
between Great Britain and Prance that ought to be everlast-
ing, and which, with the permanent ascendancy of both, will
insure the peace of the civilized world? I have the honour
to be, yours faithfully, , " HARCOURT LEES.:"

MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.—If the charges which have been
for more than five years ringing against the College of May-
nuoth in every part of the British empire, and to which an
adequate reply has never been given, are founded in fact,
England is guilty of a crime against her subjects second in
enormity only to that which she has committed against God.
She is guilty of making provision for having 6,000,000 of
human beings educated in principles for which, if they be de-
velopedshe provides an ignominious death as the
ere is something absolutely shocking in this
inetol arcrth,
She invests with the authority of a national insti-
e maintains at the public cost—an institution
within which the morals of Thomas Aquinas are to prevail
against .the morals of the Gospel ; where the principles of
Roman law are to prove successful rivals to the laws of Eng-
land ; where the " incorrupta fides nudaque veritas" is to be
learned through the accommodating casuistry which Jesuitism
mould approve; where brotherly love is to be regulated ac-
cording to principles which teach that a man who loves the
Scriptures better than Romanism shouid be put to death,
and should be allowed to bear about his forfeit life only until
the time when he may be murdered safely; and having pro-
vided this course of education for men who are to be as gods
to the masses of an abused people, England is satisfied to
think that she has done her duty, and that nothing remains
but to prepare the scaffold and the executioner, imprison- ,
ment or exile, for the multitudes she has instructed how they
may best entitle themselves to such rewards.—London Stan-
dard.

TO CORRESPONDENTS,

A Member of the Young Men's Established Church
Society," would be more likely to effect his object by ad-
dressing his remonstrance to the secretary of the society,
who would bring the subject of it before the committee.
Is our correspondent aware that this useful society has now
added to its efficiency by the formation of a library ? We
highly approve of our correspondent's motives and zeal;
and if he cannot accomplish his ends by the course we
have recommended, we shall feel less reluctance to publish
his communication.

LORD MORPETH'S IRISH REGISTRATION

BILL,

The protracted debate on this measure would, in all
probability, be brought to a close last night; and if
the London papers of this morning contain the divi-
sion, we shall announce it at the earliest possible
moment.
