JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET.

THURSDAY EVENING.—The Stock Market was still in a
good deal of agitation to-day, and the sales of stock consi-
derable. The dealers affect to view the Portuguese dispute
as a more serious affair than what upon the face of it might
be expected ; for by many it is still conceived that there is
•‘ much cry" about it and.little wool;" that in fact the two
states will not be allowed to come to blows. One interven-
tion less or more can be no difficulty now to Lord Palmers-
ton, whom practice for so many years must not only have
made a proficient, but have given a real relish to for that
sort of busybody meddling. The truth would seem to be
that this little Portuguese complication, coming on the heels
and in the midst of so many others of a graver character, has
had the effect of turning the scale of the market downwards,
which was before on the balance, in the same sense in which
it is said that it is the last feather which breaks the over-
loaded camel's back. Consols declined further to 88 to *for
the opening. Bank Stock was 156 to 7. Exchequer Bills
2s. to 4s. premium.
FRIDAY EVENING.—The day being of course a close holi-
day, there is, nothing to report upon in either stock or money
affairs, or in general business.
SATURDAY EVENING.—The funds remain without altera-
tion. Consols 88 to I for the opening. Bank stock 156 to
7. Exchequer hills 2s to 4s premium.

In the foreign market there was little animation and prices
are without material change. Spanish Active with the Cou-
pons 221 to 3. Portuguese Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
(falsely called Fives) 31 to 1, the One-and-a-Half per Cents.

TO THE REV. HUGH WNEILE

(For the Liverpool Standard.)
Champion of truth—whose sacred flag to wave
O'er error's tomb arid superstition's grave, •
Thou dolt the traitors to that truth defy,
With lion-heart and bold unshrinking eye.
By surely more than mortal ardour fired,
By nature gifted and by grace inspired,
Well may they quail beneath thy piercin6
Who fear to face the radiant lamp of light,
Well envy thee that free unfetter'd mien,
Poor crippled slaves of subterfuge arid spleen

Slaves to a system tyrannous at best,
Oh ! would they learn, like thee, to fairly test
That sacred standard of our sacred hope,
Unchained by dark tradition's thralling yoke,
There would they learn, the faith that can endure
ire it be peaceable must first be pure;
There would they learn redemption's perfect plan
Rejects OR merits of imperfect man ;
There would they learn a sacrifice to trace
Once freely offered for the human race—
For all, for each, as heir of death and vice,
Pardon that asks not money, asks not price.
Salvation's messenger, oh ! mayst thou still pursue
The task thy Lord bath given thee to do,
Upholding truth with all thy potent might,
And hurling error from her dazzling height—
That error man's insidious art supplied,
That truth for which our martyr'd fathers died :
Mayst thou exalt the one, our hope and trust,
And lay the other prostrate in the dust;
And may the free unfetter'd gospel be
Borne on the winds and wafted o'er the sea,
Till the remotest heathen shore on earth
Resound with tidings of Immanuel's birth,
Till sterile waste and palmy Pagan plain
Have learn'd to triumph in a Saviour slain,
Till He shall come His ransomed own to claim,
Of every clime and kindred, tongue and name—
The Mighty God—the Man of Sorrows—He,
The first, the last, who was and is to be—
The Lamb who did a full atonement give,
And died that man, eternally, may live.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCTOBER 20.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 8- Sous.)
Since Tuesday last the imports from Ireland, Coastways and from
foreign ports, increased by arrivals within the last three days, have
been pretty considerable ; the Wheat and Flour from foreign ports
of. course go into bond ; and throughout the past week here, and at
Manchester on Saturday, we have experienced a very languid de-
mand for Wheat and Oats, Flour and Oatmeal, at a decline of 2d to
3d per respective bushel on the two former, and of Is to Is 6d per
respective sack or barrel on the two latter articles. Malt, grinding
Barley, Beans and Indian Corn, were also a little lower. The
weather has been since the commencement of this month very
favourable for the completion of the northern harvest.
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has again increased since
last Friday to 21s 8d per qr. and on Plour to 13s oid per barrel, also
Is 6d per qr. more on Oats and ltye, and Is more on Beans; on
other grain no alteration ;—some trivial sales of Flour in bond
have been made at 26s to 27s per barrel, for immediate export.
The demand at this day's market was better than on Friday, and
sales of every article in the trade were effected to a moderate ex-
tent, and a small improvement on the decline above mentioned.

MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS' ACT

The following letter has been addressed by the Town-
Clerk to the solicitors, and will be read with interest,
as it touches upon several points which have lately given
rise to considerable discussion :

" Town-hall, 22nd Oct. 1840

" DEAR Sra,—l transmit to you the points upon
the municipal corporations' act, upon which I stated my
opinion at the meeting of the solicitors concerned in the
approaching municipal election.
" 1. Under the municipal corporations' acts the quali-
fication is not lost by any removal, whether to another
qualification or not, so long as the burgess roll continues
in force upon which the burgess is enrolled by virtue of
an occupation for the required period up to the last day of
August preceding the burgess roll. The burgess roll of
1839, under the amendment act, continues in force for
the election of November, 1840, and until a new bur-
gess roll shall have been duly made.
" 2. A burgess rated in respect of distinct premises
in two or more wards and upon the roll for both, stands
only well enrolled for that ONE of which he shall make
his selection. Voting in one of the wards at an election,
whether annual or occasional, is such selection, and con-
cludes the party so long as the burgess roll continues in
force. As before stated, the roll of 1839 now continues
for the next election, and until a new burgess roll shall
have been duly made
3

A case has been stated : Suppose a number of
voting papers should be delivered to the returning officers
when the hour of four in the afternoon, at which the poll
is to close, is immediately at hand ; all of which they
eould not possibly dispose of before four, and many of
which, proceeding with all expedition, they actually do
not dispose of by four : and suppose the remaining papers
to be considered and admitted or rejected after the booth
is closed.' This course is not legal : it neither gives the
returning officers or the burgesses the power to see that
the papers are delivered by persons appearing to be the
proper burgesses, nor does it give ANY two burgesses the
power to require the questions to be put. The strict
duty of the returning officers is to discharge themselves
of one voting paper before they receive another ;—each
voting paper ought to have the attention of the THREE
officers ;—no voting paper ought to be tendered or re-
ceived until the one before it is disposed of ; and no
voting paper out of this course ought to be taken to be
well received until the officers are at liberty to consider
it ; and, of course, none can be well received after four.
" It was satisfactory to me to find that my opinion on
these points met with the full concurrence of the soli-
citors present.

" I am, dear sir, yours very truly,
" R. RADCLIFFE.

SECOND EDITION.

Standard Office, Three o'Clock.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—THIS DAY.
Since our report of Tuesday, the receipts of Grain, Flour,
and Oatmeal coastwise have been trivial, and those from
Ireland only moderate. Of Wheat and Flour, from the
United States, however, we have a good supply fresh in, and
several further parcels of the latter from Canada, while from
Europe the imports have fallen off materially, and will pro-
bably continue light until the duty recedes.
The duties for the ensuing week have advanced on Whtat
to 225. Bd., on. Oats to Os. 3d., on Beans to 2s. per quarter,
on Flour to 13s. 71d. per barrel, and reduced on Barley to
7s. 10d. per quarter ; those on other foreign, and on colonial
produce generally, remaining unvaried.
During the period between Tuesday and to-day, we had
very little business passing in any branch of the corn trade
but having a good attendance of buyers this morning, and
most descriptions of wheat being held with increased firm-
ness to-day, sales to a moderately fair extent were effected at
the full rates last noted, and in partial instances a slight im-
provement was realized.

Flour, on the contrary, was in very slow request, and
rish as well as foreign barely supported late prices.
In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, we have no change to

Oats, upon a more lively sale than for some weeks past,
were the turn dearer; and. Oatmeal was taken off freely at
our last quotations.

PRESENT STATE OF ALEXANDRIA

The land lies so low, and the coast is so elevated above
the level of the sea, that the shipping, especially at night,
runs the risk of not seeing it until too late to avoid ground-
ing. This is one of the principal dangers of the navigation.
The entrance of the port, which is nowhere very safe, is
narrow and difficult. A very limited portion of it can be
passed in safety by large ships, and even there it is danger-
ous to attempt the passage without dismounting some of
their guns. With little cost and difficulty, however, the
port of Alexandria might be made capable of sustaining a
vigorous defence. But the energies of the pasha have not
been brought to bear upon this point; and while he is fully
aware of his oversight in this respect, he has not now time to
repair the evil. Formidable preparations of defence are at
present being carried on upon the coast. The seraglio
and the arsenal are protected by batteries comprising a
large number of guns. The arsenal, which, with the ex-
ception of dress, is like all other arsenals, whether of
Alexandria, Toulon, or Portsmouth, is situated close to the
palace, as if Mehemet Ali was anxions never to lose sight
of his fleet and his arsenal. The city of Alexandria covers
an immense area; but the ruins and uninhabited parts
occupy the greater portion of its extent. At considerable
intervals are seen groups of miserable huts, to which the
poorest cottages in France are very superior. It would be
difficult, indeed, to convey an idea of the poverty of their
appearance. They are inhabited by the fellah and his
family, and afford but a poor shelter against the scorching
sun and burning winds of the desert. The children lie at
the door rolling in the sand, and present a most singular
appearance, their hair being all scrupulously shaved off but
a slight tuft. The immense size of the abdomen strikes the
to Bthuet,haadlaqs
Liltityisefnottheiinr
eye of the straenfgetrhewittahhsieu,rphrioste.
this must be attributed. The " Frank"
wthaeteer,xctehsasets
quarter of Alexandria is the most remarkable portion of the
city. The grand square, in which are situated the different
consulates, presents an aspect completely European.—
