STOCK EXCHANGE, TWO O'CLOCK.
Mr. Ripon. of the Beak, waited upon the gentle-
men of the Stock Exchange, from the Go
and Deploy-Governor of the Bank, to acquaint
floe that Lord Liverpool would see the 11111 flied 111141
co the subject of the annoity business, nn Tuesday
nest. at Fite House, at 12 o'clock. Co soil fell per
ceot., in conseq of the above.

Pries! avid the State of Trade are matters of the
very first importance, especially at a moment when
%elate' ial deluders are so hard at work to persuade
people that things will come about.—The meat-mar-
ket yesterday was the lowest that has been know*.
we believe. for tliirty.seren !mars. At Smithfield.
ttakert of 9' stone (81b. to the stone) sold at 215.; of
12 stone, at 261.—Beef !rade very dull, at from 2s.

—Lamb from 4s. W. ;o 51. at Smithfield.—As is
the state of trade, Agricultural di■ is now a mat-
ter of notoriety. Beery one knows, that, as the rent
lomat be paid out of the produce of the land, the farm-
et's ability to pay rent must deprod upon the lilies*
a that produce. But the operations of TRADII are
II ore complicated. Those only who are acquaioted
its it can form an adequate idea of the tricks aid
contrivances that are now resorted to (from necessity)
by almost all persons engaged in trade, to keep as long
NS possible on their legs, without regard to loss or
Amis. Every tradesman's affairs (►t least with hero
tool there an yzerption) may be considered as as epi-
tome of the affairs of our government ; every thing is
designed to disguise the truth, both from themselves
and others. From information which we daily receive'
we a►e convinced that high prices cannot be again
b►eogbt ablest by say means whatsoever. Eerie-
rieoeed tradesmen are new satisfied that their true ia•'
tercet consi-ts in keeping down prices. thereby pre-
venting these sadden fluctuations which have, in past
titers, produced inch terrible consequences to trade
and commerce. This is made manifest by what Lee
recently taken place in the butter market of Loudest.
Imprudent men, regardless of the lessons of expo-
deuce, entered isto considerable speculations in the
article of Irish butter, at a time when that article wu
mach above its comparative vales with others of the
necesseees of life; sod the consequenee of this pee.
cording was, such a decrease of cousumption, as left
the balk of their stocks oo band. Added to this, Asti
Mations of the meson Las produced an unusual qua-
lity of new ►otter both is this country and in Holland ;
w►ich latter has poured into this market such an ex-
cess as to cease a fall of nearly one half within 'a

of which no schemes each as those which the trim'

We do not think it worth while to bestow steels
time on the DUCAL DUEL. We are very *eery.
that the Duke of lIID/OaD should stand before the
public as having disclaimed all lineation. of personal
offence. If it be not personality to areas* a man of
what his Oraee *erased, sod Hole scanted, the Doke
of lireuteanaw, it is not personality to amuse a we-
man of Wag in bed with a man who is not her hes-
hand? le shark if what the Doke of Bearolte 'sold
of the other Doke was net Fe/sow:4 nothieg ever was
personal is this world. One thing we .list say, that
the firing off of a little powder by the eqhmtbehe
does by no means elver the fact. If this Bucatito•
seat's honour was seturreded, that smoke has sot
healed it. We have no hesitation is uyieg; that we
' have not the smallest idea of dolt having Iwo any
lead in either of the pistols. It would be,iiortiklag
to the Duke of BaDlOllll to hear 'the'temethe IN the
people upon this " dee I!" For the sato of the Puke
of flaoreen. we are very sorry. The diselaladig of
all peretriality was quite ateestroes. It really would
bare been nearly as well to follow the rumple of
" glory" all through the pleee.—Howevitr,- this mor-
tification of the GRINTILLS. is good. It is, what they
richly deserve. Their sorrows are not to stilit here.
We agree with a atomise Paper of to-day, shut the
embassy to Switzerland ought to be the next object of
diseinet attack.. Lord Kisto laid tho mead well for
it. This is a atelier of more amount; sad a thing
infinitely more villeineus thee the oats and salary of

rant of talent. Never was so bard a bargain as the
Ministers have of them at this minuet. We should
lot be at all surprived, if the Mialsters, for their own
safety's sake, were to east this political Jutish ~rerb-

PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT.
A message from the King, last night, announced
that he " had been attended with the edam* of the
" House" about the Post-Master ; that be •weiffi er-
ste& the salary to be diseontinued fortheritlN aisiboehat'
be would abolish the office as moos as he lied A the
" opportunity of considering of an arrangement for
" the conduct of the business of the olEee." Never
was King " attended with" such language a this
before! Tbis Lord CA SSSSSSS GU really don not
seem to be capable of putting one stogie acetones
upon paper without committlog some grammatical
error. Never did chamber-maid married to bee mae•
ter use phrases of such ridiculous affectation as those
which this man puts into the mead; of the King.-4e
to " the conduct of the business of the office." then
will be time enough gives for that, so that the salary
lie but abated immediate/N, which, it seems, Is to be
door. Trilling as the annexe is, in Ibis ease, the
defeat of CASTIAIMAGN and Co. is great, and will be
severely felt. It is but a feather plucked from the
grease; but, others may follow it ; the pluck loosens
all she rest; and. without the feathers, the carcase
gamut long live. It is, however, folly to proceed in
Ibis way, rules. a reform he intended [or, their
plates are obsoletely necteenry to get Me ?resat sys-
tem elev. It is unjust; It is foolishness; it is mad-
ness, to expect the Ministers to carry on the prewar
system without places, potions, sieeceres, greats,
and all the things that they new have aid make use of.
