EXCHANGES AND PRICES.
Ice Lye noticed the state of the Exchanges once or
tsar had, we once more beg our readers lot to rely
esplititly on the state of the Exchanges, as published
u. pie nrwspapers, which show. the price as
',lard oat 'Cl4a3ge, which is the nominal price ; and
'Aid', very fregueutly differs coisialcrably from the
real pries, u actually naliociated, that is to say,
which takes place is the parcitaused sale of Bills on
tue 'Change.—Th• state of the Exchanger, at Ms
time, is such, that we cannot believe ft prosible, that
any additives! paper can be pat ,oat, without drivipg

NEWS-PAPER DISTRESS.

Raving oft,. had to deprecate the endsavoars of
mina oar contemporaries to comfort the entering
people of this country, by assurances (true or false),
that the people of oths.r countries were :leering sleo,
are art not, of course, about to preach patience to the
farmers and landlords, on the ground that the news-
prlers are suffering in degree, equal, perhaps, to the
asst sufartunate of agricultural districts. The " sof-
-1,47" of the Old Times has, fur more than four
*whs. bees, we noderstand. of a very serious na-
tio: and, as its readers (who are growing more and
err siker) must, last week, have observed with
pain, it ncrually fell into a convulsive fit, commonly
raiird a "gratis Supplement" !—ln short, we are in.
formed, ao.l we be:ieve correctly, that every news-
paper in London has recently experienced, and is new
expeneneing " distress," except the STATESMAN'
which we have the pl to say is increasing in
prosperty. We can, however, truly add, that this
pleasure arises much more from the proof that this
affords of the return of the public to a taste for sound
principles and plain sense, than from any particular
advantage likely to accrue to ourselves. La this view
of the matter we have singular satisfaction I. learn-
me (which we do from good authority), that the most
mar''''l signs of " distress" have made their appear-
as2eto those twin brothers of bombast and bothers-
km. the Old Times and the Courier. Oar neigh-
.4oll:, the Tramper, is manifestly preparing to take to
lit heels. Is short, if common sense should, after a
snag4le of so many years, gain the victory, thew.
Lad many other Tertiaries that we could same, must
6%age their very nature. or must absolutely perish.
