securities not much business was done, but prices were

in most cases firmer.
According to the return from the Bank of England for
the week ending 26th February, the amount of notes in
circulation was £18,179,755, being an increase of £95,060;
and the stock of bullion in both departments was
£14,760,815, showing an increase of £191,166 when coin-
pared with th.

preceding return.
Money, in the shape of Bullion, continues to flow into
the country, and the stock in the Bank is now £14,569,
649 against £8,312,691 at the lowest point in October,
whilst the Notes unemployed amount to £9,806,010—an
increaso of £2,358,625 during the last month. The Bank
still supports the rate of 4 per cent., and it is not desirable
to see it reduced ; but should there be no further dis-
turbances on the Continent, Money must be cheap,—as
it is probable that a considerable amount may be sent to
this country, for secure investment.
The suspension of Messrs. De Mattos and De Leon,
general merchants, which was announced in London on
Friday, was expected to be merely temporary, pending ad-
vices from the firm in Amsterdam.
The Bourse was expected to open yesterday ; and ac-
counts from Paris as to the probable tone of the money
market are as favourable as could have been expected.
It is asserted that offers have been made for the Three

and that these have been refused : if this can be relied on,

very considerately allowed to pay by monthly instalments!
We may add that, to save unnecessary exposure of details,
for example, tne disclosing of such items as •` new hori-
zontal grand for Caroline, or " paid Master John's losses
on the Derby,"—it is only expected that each party
should return himself as having expended "'not exceeding
£100," and so on. Of course strict honesty may be de-
pended upon !
Our readers, we fear, will suspect we are hoaxing them.
We are not doing anything of the kind. The sage pro-
positions noticed are contained in a pamphlet just now

before us, hearing the imprint, " London : John Hatehard
and Son, 187, Piccadilly." Its price is a shilling, and it
is cheap at the money as a curiosity.

having abstracted and carried away two tierces of
sugar, part of five which were lying on the Old Quay
Company's Wharf, Manchester Basin. The prisoner had
taken a cellar in another man's name, in which to stow
them, and procured a carter to take them there. They
were missed on Saturday, and finally traced, through the
carter, to the cellar. The auger (weighing about a ton)
was consigned to Messrs. J. and D. Gray, and was identi-
fied by the marks. The cellar had to be broken open by
direction of the magistrate. The prisoner was committed
for trial at the sessions.
THE WEATHER.—On the whole, the weather since the
beginning of the present month has been fine for the sea-
son, and peculiarly favourable for the tilling of the ground.
Wednesday and Thursday were coldish, but dry. Friday
was mild, bright, and sunny; Saturday rather changeable.
On Sunday morning we had heavy rain, apparently set in
for the day, and with a high wind ; but it cleared up beau-
tifully in the afternoon, and a splendid evening and clear
starry night succeeded. Yesterday was fine and clear
throughout, and did much to reduce the superfluous water
that had collected in the low grounds. The sowing of
spring corn will, ere long, be commenced in earnest. By
reference to our Weather Table for last month it will be
found that not less than 4 inches of rain fell in this locality
during that month,—an extraordinary downfall, exceeding
that of January by nearly 3 inches. In Manchester the„
fall of rain last month was also unusually great, even for
that proverbially wet locality. The glass with us ranged
between minimum and maximum points much lower and
much higher than ordinary within a month.
