lShl-January I-AdSanced 10 T3ct.
Here are twelve changes 10 as many months,
which may all answer very well for London finan-
ciering. We begin to think there is too much i'm
portance placed on the movement and dictatidn of
the Bank of England. It does not own all the
money in Great Britain. In this community very
little regard is given to the returns Of the London
market. An advance in rates is commented on for
few hoHrs. Cotton factors ask just as much for
their cotton, and dealers in exchange move along
under the immutabe laws of supply and demand ),
paying due circCmspection to the strength, weak
ness responsibility of all exchange offered Them
regardless of what the old Bank Of England may be
asking for money Or its rates of interest.
The Exchange market closed yesterday in favor
of buyers and RENTERS. 1t opened this morning
under full supply of all kinds grades and charae-
ter. The counter rate at the banks for checks on
New York was steady at 4 dis; outside drawers
sold freely at and ZIG dis, making extreme rates
of AL and good sight rule from down to { dis,
with some lower grade hard to negotiate at 7 dis.
Among the movements to-day we note sales of two
round sums Of sight at dis, special; one day sight
and five days sight, round, at dis In time bills
we note sales of thirty days sight at 1s0lA dis
There were several transactions in sixty days sight
prices, say at 2, q, 81, q, 23@3 get. dis. The
offerings were free, Sterling opened under grea
heayness the first sales of clear bills at los
! then at 10430l645. For some remittance transac
tons fraction over los was paid. For documents
there was one transaction of 5000 bales closed a
l04; another at 1889, and other sales at l033
There were other transactions, but the rates can
not be deemed quotable. We, however, quote
document bills from l03@l04, governed in many
| instances by the margin. Francs were dull; il
fact very heavy; in fact, francs as the phrase to-
| day used, were "nowhere." We quote 5.50@5.4(
| as guiding quotations.
| The Stock and Bond market remains quiet. We
only hear of sale of 200 shares Southern Bank OF
| P. T., though the operation is believed to hayt
Melted somewhere within the range Of l08@l10.

The good feeling in the general money market,
which ruled yesterday, continued to-day. The
calls on the banks for regular discounts were on
the moderate scale. The offerings Of exchange
were, however, large, with every variety Of tend
ers. The movements in cotton were tolerable, but
would have been larger if the downward tendency
in exchange had been arrested but as it was not,
we must wait another day for what such day may
bring forth.
Much stress has been placed on the doiags Of the
Bank Of England. Take up any respectable jour-
nal, and there sure to be found remarks pro or
con. on the action of the Bank of England. Though
the influence of the old lady has been regarded as
synonymous with the rise and fall in securities and
the great produce market; yet the ruling drec-
ton of the old lady cannot be considered as gu
preme. The Governors of the bank were some,
what capricious during the last year. they altered
and varied the rates of interest during twelve
months twelve different times.
The following is the history of these changes:

there is the powerful French squadron

The interruption OF the American trade by the
war, and bsCanse, without the tobacco which
French agents are row buying up in Virginia,
the whole financial system OF the French
Government would be deranged-4 vast pro-
portion OF its income being derived from the
duty on that articie. We are informed by
Lord Paimerston's organ that q perfect un-

"this co cooperation is to be prosscu ted on both

perOr Of the French will take anv step hostile

enter upon such dangerous career she will

WHAr IS TO Bs DOW WITH THs PgIsoy-
with the Pirates, The Washington correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has the fol-
lowing:
This question is now seriously disc II ssed
in the Cabinet without any definite answer
being arrived at =
] stated at the same time that the Admin.
istration had decided not to hang any of the
sailor. taken Cn board of Southern priya-
feeling Of clemency towards the captured
.aiiors, but from motives of policy.
The result of the inauguration of such n
policy would b. tho indiscriminate murder of
kpndreis OF prisoners in the hands OF the
Rebels, including msuy valuable citizens and
Inc enac JIcon1 Of genes OF horror uneq nailed
by tn 1se o. the French Rsvoiu ton. The Ad-
r.iuistratton, therefore, decided, as / have
said, not TO hare any of the pirates. But
within q day or two the ques ton ha. been
again raised n the Cabinet. at least one mem
of that body is in favor, he presses it. OF
discaTding all .queamish nons sense, and of
hanging every rebel found in arms against the
Government, whether taken on the sea or land
This Is undoubtedly the course that ought to
bs taken, il the q oyernmant regard. this mat
ter as simply an instruction. This is the
view taken of il by President Lincoln and
he, too, although he deplorss the neee ssty of
such dreadful measures, is III fa vor of such T.
course as Will show 10 the world that we are
in earnest 10 this matter, and that traitors
found in arms against the Government must
expect and recsive a traitors doom.
MIR, Bates and MIR. Blair both 90 for ex.
treue measures, regardless OF conseq uences ;
and Mr.. Smith also entertains the same
views.

There IL one thing ! cannot refrain from
