Since thereceipt of important foreign intelligence, which will be found in another page, we have the fol lowing communication from our Paris correspondent : PARLS, FRIDAY, 6i r.a. The project for the dispossession of the railway companies, and the forced purchase of the lines by the government, which we announced exclusively several wicks ago, with all its details, is at length brought forward by the government. It is presented to the Cnavaber, and appears in the Muniteur of tnis mining. The t llowing are the conditions: It proposes three modes of determining the value of the share.: I. To take their prises at the last •ettlement of 15di Febrouri. 2. Their prices on Ith April. 3. The average of their prices for the six months preceding the revolution of February, and proposes that the last should be adopted by the Assembly. The indemnity to be given in stock, at the price of the Bourse for the corresponiing period to that sel.cted for estimating the value of the shares. The railways to which this is propo s ed to Ite applied are— Paris to St. Gemming, Paris to Versailles (rive droite), Do. (rive e ,ucbe), S rasb.mr,; to Basle, Par. to Orleans and Cur. Paris to Konen, Roam to Havre, Hontereau to Troyes, which are in operation. The railways from Paris to the Belgian frontier, with a branch to-Ist. Crsil to St. queatin ; 2. Basebrouck to Calais and Dunkirk, Orleans to Bjurdtaua, Orleans to the Centre, Avian°. to Marseilles, Amiens to Boulogne, which are partly in op. ration ; and, lastly, Paris to Lyons, Paris to Btrayarurg, Tours to Nantes, Dieppe to it,ueu, which stein courts• of cxecution ; and others, which may be repurchased, but are not necessary. According to a recent census, there are iu Paris 173,000 workmen and workwotuen without work ; 110,300 who work four days in a week; 52,000 who are constantly unemployed, maki ig a total of 337,300, without reckoning the Banlieue, where the misery is indescribable. It setups that }lathes had at first determined not to reply to any quest-Mos, but he renounced the inten tion. A.bert is said to be in a state of great anxiety. The authorities are endeavouring to discover the officers of the Natio,al Guard who were among those who forced an ente.ace into the Assembly, and par ticularly one who, dressed as an officer of artillery, brandished a sword at the tribune when the pre tended Provisional (iovernment was proclaimed. Many of the conspirators are said to have been well dressed, but to have concealed their dresses In the procession by wearing blouses, which they put off on reaching the Hotel de Ville. The prisoners at Vincennes were interrogated yes terday. The Del its of this evening says: We said y. sterday that M. Gamier Pages had announced by mistake to the Assembly the arrest of Illinqui. For two days the most rigilent search had been made for him, and it was le.rted y. steeds> that be was concealed in a house in the Quarter of the Chausreo d'An in. Persons were imme diately sent and the house was surrounded, but Blanqui had taken tlitht a quarter of an hour before, from, it was said, private inform Orion having liven conveyed to him. Some arrests were made this morning. Permission has been granted to several persons to communicate with M. Barbe!:s personally,at Vincennes. The Conmone de Pith, the journal of Sobrier, which was discontinued, has re-appeared to-day. PAIL., MAT 19.—Nett Loan, —; Three per Cents., 471 ; Do.

Trantriillity reigned within and without the Chamber. The Salle re• P.. Perdue has ceased to be the theatre of noisy and violent discussions. The sitting was opened at a quarter-past one. The tribunes were se ry tall, and a great many memo, re wire present. After the reading of the proceo verbal, BISHOP Fstrrr made some observations on the decree by which the A sembly forbade its members to use any solici- tation or r. e,mmendatinn for places under government. Do peseta (said the prelate) to prohibit one of your colleagues from ask o.g anything for an unfortunate or distressed family ? th s would he to put charity aside by your regulations. A Coa t:: 'the decree is voted. A NI vAt t.ctt demanded that young men of the reserve, who I had ree.ised permission to marry, shou4 be exempt from service. Genetal CAVA lONAC, the new minister of war, gave a hrourahle aLswer. M. ETIe,Nr. Anaoo, in the uniform of a commandant of the National Guard, ascended the tribune, with some papers in hi. hand. (Curiosity and great silence in the Assembly.) He declared that he came to justify himself before his col teteurs on the subject of a letter published in the Condi tui",nel, and which implicated him in the events of the 15th. 11, m .ite -owe long espluuations, which appeared to ' l e 4 r7 the Assembly, and called up the I'resident.

From all sid es: "It i s very we ll !J . —it is very well !" _After some nb , ervations by M. CIIAKILAS, the es-Minister of Yitsr, in fsvour of his friend M. E. Arago, the discussion " the prvosed proclamation of M. Berard was taken. M.

Man) amendments to the parrgraph were proposed and rejected. The raragraph was adopted, suppressing the word., " will not compremive with the factious." The MININTEII ily FINANCISS proposed 101116 prOiCell of law as to accounts and supplementary credits. Then followed ns usual, an "avalanche" of propositions by hnsts of members. Only one of these excited attention ; it WAS that the forty five centimes nt extraordinary tax ahould be charged uuly on the oriainsl, and not the supplementary tax. This was adjourned for diecuuion till to-morrow. The ord. r of the day for the election of two vice• Presidents was then taken. IMPORTANT FROM IRELAND. APPREHENDED DISTURBANCES. FItIDAY NORNINTO. The clubs assembled last night and held a long de liberation. I saw them returning, but in no regular order, as each wended back its way to its paricular place of meeting. To-eight, as I informed you, the programme of the " pilent demonstration" will be finally settled. The object of all this moving to and fro is to prevent the '4 packing " of the jury on Mr. Mitchel's trial. It is resolv.d, I under stand, to send four warning deputations—to the 1.0,d- Lieutenant, the Attorney•Geueral, the High Sheriff, and Crown Solicitor, conjuring all these high authori ties to abstain from any course pnjudici4l to the in terests of justice, and leave the panel as undisturbed as the movements of the clubs. How the Lord. Lie utenant will receive the deputies of D'Olier-street it is not difficult to anticipate. He will not receive them at all, unless they come in another and less menacing guise. Since the foregoing wee received, we have accounts from Dublin up to last evening, which etute that the police commietioners had issued a cautionary pro clamation against the assemblage of proceemons is the streets. It was stated, however, that the con federate clubs were to defy the authorities, and merch het night. The Governou at had made arrangements to enforce the proclamation, and a colheion was ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENOLAN D.

Paxton or SUCKLING —Mr. Wyatt Edgell, of Milton place, Behan, Surrey, addressed to the council, IhrOtign the president, a coinunthication on the probably injuriuue ITee,s arising from the circumstance of allowing young oiiimals to take the milk for too long a period horn their dams, ope cially in the casts of mares and ewes, which he conceived were impoverished by sueh a lengthened drain upon th, it constitutions, while their offspring were at the a one ti ee rt tented in their growth and development, from the insuffi cient simply and inferior quality of milk they obtained under such eircomstan..m. Mr. Egilell was I, it to the c insi-I, r tioa of this suiject from • perusal of the statement o ado by the 11ev. G. R. Glee, in his " Travels in Hungary," that the high-bred foils at the great stud at Bahhona usually dying at lour nths old, from some vicious quality, as it was asp posed, in the milk, they were removed from the mares at the end of the tint montli.aaid fed on boiled carrots, when it was found that not one-fiftieth of the number of foals that died undar the old system were lost under the new one. Wi.h. out endeavouring to ascertain from what cause the milk in the case of the Hungarian mares had probably become vitiated, if a change in the quality of the milk had been the cause of the evil, Mr. Meal thought the period of suckling the young of cattle in this country a eubj, et worthy of consideration.—This communication gave rise to an in'eresting discussion among the members pre sent.— Mr. Milward thought it might be assumed so a general rule, that, under favourable conditions ..ris ing from the constitution of the mother, a requisite supply of proper food, and cons, quently an al). relent s cretiou of healthy milk, the longer the young animals sucked the latter; and he could state from his own experience, in the case of short-horns d cattl.., that the rale, s could not acquire the full development in size 3r symmetry, unless reared on new milk for at least the first six months after their birth.—Sir Mathew Ridley did not think it adviseable to leave calves with mothers which had became again in -calf; in that cur, as in the case also of all choice stock, nurse-cows would of course be pro vided.—Mr. Fuller, M.P., had found that those Cares were always the best which had been allowed to suck the long, at. —Mr. Tweed considered that feels would he injured by sucking such mares too long as were actively kept at work.— Mr. Dyer was acquainted with a large Ktek.master, who constantly loot one-tenth of his five hundred ewes by allow ing the lambs to remain with them till July; but who, from having last year weaned the iambi considerably curlier in the seas ,n, had lost a much smaller proportion of his ewes Mr. Dyer conceived that by the middle of May, or as soon as the lambs were tour mouths old, and enabled to get their own food, when there was gram enough fur them in the pastures, they might safely be weantd from the ewes; and that, on the other hand, when the ewes were low in condition, disease must necessarily be occasioned by a-lowing the lambs to remade too lung with them.—Mr. Mslward thought that the lose sustained by Mr. Dys r's friend arose from the ewes being kept in too poor a con dition, and not from the circumstance of the lambs being allowed to suck them for too long a period; it ell depended upon the food a flock-master had to give them.—Sir Matthew Ridley remarked that there might be an evil in the too early weaning of lambs, as ice that case the udders, from distention, unless milked by hand, would become sere and diseased. He thought that no general rule could be laid down on the subject, but that the wearing might advanta pcous'y take place when good grass WAS to be had by them, and in sufficient abundance, as both ewes and lambs at first destroyed the herbage to which they were put after weaning. Mr. Glegg observed that in Scotland the Cheviot ewes had their lambs removed from them about the 20th of August.—Prof. Sewell regarded the subject as one of great importence; and thought that if i. quiry was instituted amongst practical farmers and bre. der. of sheep, much light might be thrown upon the origin of diseases still involved in obscurity, particularly in the csoe of young stock, which he considered to b -come sit tims to diseases too often attributable to food, soil, situation, or peculiarity of management. He had no doubt that a statistical account of the time of lam•-ing sod of wean ing, and a statement of the dates at which, in different localities throughout the kingdom, grass or green crepe or, usually ready for ewes and lambi, would be attend• d with much practical benefit, as it was very likely that circum stances of situation and climat would bs found to occasion much difference in the occurrence of those events; statements connected wiqi lambing, weaning, and weer ane of green food south of the Humber not applying to districts north of that division of the country. WATKK POWEIL—MI. Fuller, M.P., submitted to the inspection of t e council • plan of the arrangements (alluded to by him a - the previous meeting) by which all the machinery of his farm at Rose-hill, in Sussex, was put in eff ctire mo!ion by means of water.powir. Ths engb netting of these arrangements was entirely due to Mr. John Miller, of Brightlinsr, ea inzeninue tenant of Mr. Fuller's ; and it was not only applied to the working of a large saw-mill, but also to that of a threshing-machine, and various other purpoz-s. The wheel was an overshot one, and constructed of iron ; and the principal part of the machinery thus worked by water was the saw-mill, it being well known that in Sussex a great amount of timber was cut for a variety of national as well as private purposes ;1 and in his case, as in that of others, employment we, nctu. I ally created in greater amount, but in a different direction, by this wholesale sawing up of the timber felled on his estate for that purpose; and the labourers now perfectly understood the value of the new economy under which their services were required. Mr. Fuller intends to try the cutting of gorse to some extent by means of this machinery. SAWDUST CIIARCOAL.—Mr. Woolrych Whitmore was led to make a few observations on the success with which he had employed charcoal, obtained from sawdust and the serious refuse asd vegetable matter collected on hie property, as a general manure for garden and field use, especially when mixed with bone, prepared according to the plan recom mended by Mr. Fusty, in the proportion of one-third bone with two-thirds charcoal, employing water only u the liquid for moistening the heap, and of promoting its fermentation, and the result that was obtained in the course of a month or five weeks; and he had found no artificial manure at all equal to this fermented mixture. Ile found that raw sawdust did not succeed, but that charred sawdust, or sawdust charcoal, did admirably. He also ascertained that there was a mechanical advantage in sawdust, or wend charcoal, in producing this effect, not met with in charcoal obtained from couch-gran, and other charcoal from plants, the latter appearing to lie more compact, heavy, and impervious in its mechanical condition, which impeded its action in promoting fermentation. This charcoal was, there fore, employed alone u a top-dressing. Mr. Whitm'rh had not at present devised a convenient mode of reducing his sawdust to the state of charcoal; but he had no difficulty with other substances, such as couch and other weeds, the clippings of trees, cabbage stalk., &c. ; these he piled round an upright pole into conical heaps, and covered them up with earth; the pole was then gently withdrawn, and a vacancy being thus left in the heap, from the bottom to the top, where the pole had occupied a space, a flue was formed which, after ignition, greatly facilitated the charring or slow combustion of the surrounding vegetable maPer.— Prot Way remarked that the use of charcoal in agriculture was by no means carried to the extent to which, in his opi nion, it ought to be. It was a substance that stood midway between a chemical and • mechanical agent, absorbing to a great amount various gases and vapours, and especially the volatile ammonia so often produced during decomposition and allowed to escape into the atmosphere. Had he not just heard from Mr. Witmer* that charcoal and bones mixed Together underwent fomentation, he should have thought that charcoal would have had the effect of retarding or even of preventing that process. As ammonia was dis engaged in the decomposition of bones, the presence of a porous substance with the imbibifig properties of char coal would at once secure that volatile element and pre vent its escape, rendering the artificial manure produced no much the more aaluable. lie had understood from Mr. Parkes that Mr. Outhwaito, a friend of his in Yorkshire, who was an excellent practical tanner, converted not only the clippings of h.ligcs and weeds, hut also all hie ranee etraw into charcoal, which he employed lareely on his land Chirco of had long been employed as en antiseptic, removing from decaying Italie, their ill odour, as well as their ten dency to pumas nce; and he believed that charcoal would he found one of the best preservatives (ruin mildew in the Turnip crop, that injury being understood to arise 2 net ally from a peculiar condition of the sail.—Cal. Omit aver would have a small extent of one of his turnip fli Ms immediately set apart for an experiment, and would drill in charcoal with the seed to the amount of front 10 to 20 bushels per acre.—Prof. Sewell, on two successive showery days in 1846, had 25 acres of turnips eown, which yielded the most luxuriant crop; while 100 acri a, sown on an adjoining farm when the dry weather hail set in, prim. d ;theme no entire failure —Mr. Whitmore cap eased hie intention of presenting to the moiety all the details he could obtain on this subject. • l'ittexi.v Coafrer.e.—Mr. Brebazon presented to the council a communication on the prickly comfrer, which he hel grown with great success os green feeding for bone., cows, and pigs.—The council, on the motion of Mr. Brandreth refereel to Mr. Brabazon their beg thanks fer the favour of that statement, which was referred by the council to the Journal Committee. — The reading of this accatint of tho prickly emir. y, known to botanists by the nava(' of Symphytum a.perrimum, a native of the Caucasus, and as ono of the mucilaginous and emollient plants belonging to the borage family, pee rise to the communication of interesting details connected with its gro rth and proptrties.--Mr. Brandreila had crown it extensively, but he preferred Lucerne. Mr. Brandreth Gibbs regarded the variety of oomfrey is questiow ea the earliest-springing green food with which he was acquainted ; and he stated, a. one of its peculiar advantage., that it grew with the greatest readiness wherever planted, whether on bunks or other waste pieces of land, or among brick rubbish used for filling no hollows ; its tenacity, however, wh.n once planted, was such as to rustler its eradication as difficult as that of the common dock or borsc.radish. Mr (heaves. of Matlock-bath, Derbyshire, had also grown it largely from mead transmitted to him by Mews. Thomas (blinks and Co., the seedsman to the society, and he had bound it yield must abundant crops of green food. Lecruttgo.—Prof. Simonds, lecturer on cattle pathology in the Royal Veterinary College, conveyed to the c tuncit his thanks for the honour they had done him in adectiag him to deliver one of the lecturer , to the members of the society on the occtrei on of their emoting York meeting, and then rtiotartion it would give him to promo c in that, or any other manner, the useful object.. of the society. 1401.UISUS.—Mr. Fester, secretary to the local committee at York, informed the council that he had roptned • re Friary of lo . ginits, at his office in that city (22, Ogb-fortlr), Cro tie consinience of members of the society, and other visitors who may attend the ensuing country milling of the society, iu the week commencing Monday, the 10th of July next, Mr. Maher, of lll■ndford (and 23, Coekopuratrett, Chart g-cros9, presented to the society a proof impre.sion of the I waved portrait of Lord Portman, att,r the pointing el Fancourt by Moll; the Royal Academy of Sciences tit Munich transmitted copies of their tramp-tion. ; end Prof. Sewell, the 'rotund ht of of a horse, on which was nail. d a shoe, with leather interposed, agreeably with the plan Maud by him at the previot.smeeting.

NAPIER'S SQUADRON •T Coax.—Oar Portsmouth correspondent, wri.ing lost I night (May 19), sass: "To the great surprise of everybody the St. Vincent, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, accompanied by the Prince Regent, arrived at Spithead this morning from Cori. Sir Charles Napier landed, and wefts(' upon the commander-in-chief. A number of reports of a serious narure are abroad regarding the arrival of these ships at Spithead, but n 9 oftleial explanation of the circumstance has transprr.d." The re por:s alluded to are that there has been a mutiny cm b lard the Prince Regent, that it was necessary tn piece several individuals in irons, and that Sir C. Napier brought the ships to England in order that the affair may be investigated by enurt•martial. The only in formation obtainable at the Admiral's other. was that the sliqrr were not expect.. d. SIR DE LACY EVANS AND THE REPRESENTATION I or VI ESTMISSTISR.—Last evening, a meeting of the electors of the city of Westminster , convened by the Reform Association, was held at the York Hotel, %Vellingtan.etrect, for the purpose of taking into consideration the conduct of Si. De Lacy Evans, M.P., their representative and also to I discuss a letter which that gentlemen had addressed to the Reform Association, and which it was awed had created general dissatisfaction. The letter appeared in the Erprest of Monday last. Mr. Austen having been called to the chair, the letter was read to the meeting by Mr. Hug gett, the secretary to the Reform Seer ty, after which some discussion arose upon the question, whether Sir De Lacy Evans was informed of the discussion that was to take place upon the charges against the hon. member ; and it was ad mitted that no communizations on the subject hail been made by the secretary, altnough it was contend , d by Mr. T. P. Healey, the barrister, and other gentlemen, that Sir De Lacy Evans had been privately advised on the matter, and that he had treated it with indifference. It was then moved, that Sir De Lacy Evans's letter should he entered upon the minutes of the essocistren.— Mr. Coppock contended that the re guest to Sir De Lacy Evans on the part of the Westminster Reform Societe was an insult • it was an affront to ark the gallant member to servo under Mr. Hume and Cobden—a man who was in the House of Commons fighting the battle of reform when Mr. Cobden was unknown. The request was calculated to pre judice and damage Sir De Lacy Evans with the people of Westminster, and was not made for the sincere pures . of promoting the reforms alluded to. There was a Freest deal to excuse in Sir De Lacy Evans's letter. Considering, how ever, that they were all fighting for reform, he would re commend the members not to throw unnecessary obstacles in the way of its progress—Dr. Brett denounced the letter of Sir De Lacy Evans, and maintained that It should be entered upon the minute.—Mr. l'rout defended Sir De Lacy Evans, and, after considerable discussion, it was agreed that the letter should be placed upon the minutes —Mr. T. P. Healey, barrister-et-law, moved the following resolution : That this society Is willing to overlook the insulting tone siv•med by Sir De Lacy Evan. in Lae letter to this society, and the indecorum of publishing It In a morning paper, the Doily Anrs, before its trans• mirsion to this society, but feels round to declare, that wb le contain ing mistakes in several matters of fact, it *Sanaas a treition in refer ence to this society and the liberal constituency deserving the highest disapprobation. Mr. Cribb seconded the resolution.—Mr. Pouncey entered 1 into a lengthened defence of Sir D. L. Evans.—Mr. Coppock moved as an amendment : That the indiscreet letter of Sir De Lacy Evans, caused by, and in answer to, the resolutions of this society, can only be exvired by the considerations of the grist public cervices of Sir Dc Lacy Eva.. which entitle him to the continued confidence of this society, and which plead his otology foe the warmth and indiscretion of this one cvnlorlunicl tion—the only one displeasing to this society which bas taken place between them. Mr. Tyrrell seconded the amendment, which was supported by Mr. Prout, Dr. Bainbridge, and othi r gentlemen. The chairman then put the amendment and the resolution to the meeting. The amendment was lost, as was also another which was immediately afterwards proposed by Mr. Front. The original resolution was then passed by a large majority. A vote of thanks to tho chairman closed the proceedings. COMMERCIAL 1F MARKKTS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Half-past Two o'clock.

By the return, of the Bank of France for the week ending the 18th inst., as given in a second edition of the Dail!, News, with advices from Paris to a late hour last evening, it appears that the coin and bullion had increased over the previous week about 3,300,00(lr. The bills over due were leas by nearly 2,000,000, but the dishonoured bills had increased by about three quarters of a million. The "cash" in the branch banks (including, we suppose, the joint-stock banks converted into the branches of the state bank) was more by nearly 9,000,000 francs; but whether this cash consists of specie, or of specie and notes together, is not explained. Among the liabilities we find th; Treasury balance increased by about 7,300,000 francs. Dank &net, 14.0 192 3rr et. Con. 1.., Ac.. 64 buyer, 3 per et. Red.

Oata, Peas, and Beam, may be quoted at a slight rouction in the currency. EXETER, May 19.—1 n consequence of eur stock fair having been held on Wednesday last, and our annual xhi bition of cattle, &c., yesterday, the Corn Exchange has been thinly attended to-day ; and although there was very little disposition on the part of farmers to sell their Whtat, we can note tm alteration in price. Barley and Oats in small supply, and price* rather higher than on this day week. Hutt, May 19.-The supply of English Wheat has been but smell, and last week's rates are realised for best samples, whilst any wanting condition must be quoted slow of sale, at Is. per quarter less money. Beane, Peas, and Oats rather improve in value. Barley, the turn cheaper. Lii.seed Cakes have met a free sale, sey, best Hull-made, 91. foreign, Si., down to 71. per ton, according to quality. Rape Cakes are rather scarce, though not much inquirei for. Guiana movesoff pretty freely, say Peruvian, 91. 51- ; tine Patagenian. 61. to 71., down to 31. per ton for common low quality. limes have been much sought after; and, as very few arrive, an advance of ss. per ton bns been (stab li-hed, the present value being 90s. to 853. per ton. Of Linseed, the arrivals this week amount to about 547 qrs. consisting of 520 qn. from Riga, and .55 bags from Gothenturg. But little business kas been done, there being scarcely anything left afloat, and holders of tended parcels are not disposed to sell at late rate,. Black , Sea is worth 41s. ; fine heavy Riga, 38s. 6d. ; Memel and ' Konigsberg, fine 37., down to 325. per qr. for common quality. Black Sea, to arrive this summer and autumn, may be quoted worth 40s. per qr., free delivered here. At Odessa; the finest Seed, which is Is. per qr. better in quality than Kertch, Taganrog, dte., is quoted 37.. per qr. Co..t o. b. and freight to England included. No Rapeseed offering Foreign imports into Hull during this week: Linseed, 517 qrs. ; Rapeseed, 360; Wheat, 2,195 ; Barley, 2,476 ; Beans, 670 ; Peas, 276; Tares, 121. LINCOLN, May 19.-A small show of Wheat at our mar ket to day, which was taken off at from Is. to 2s. advance. Barb y, none offering. A small show of Oats and Beans, at rather more money. Wheat, red, 445. to 60s. ; white, 48s. to 535. ; Oats, 17s. to 231. ; Beans, 40s. to 435. LIVERPOOL, May 19.-By the Acadia steamer, arrived hen ten Tuesday evening, we have advice, dated New York, May 2, at winch time the prices of Grain and Flour there remained too high to face the English markets without decided loss, the stocks on the seaboard being then small, and Inland the demand for immediate use, with a few par- Cll. of Indian Corn chiefly on ship's account to make freight, little business was apparent : the canals, however, would be open on the Bth inst., and, should the supplies from the interior be large, it is at least reasonable to anticipate lower rates, al though' frrom the sanguine expectations of exporters, it is intimated that any material decline will not be readily con, ceded. The market quotations were (in sterling) for Wheat, bs. to be. Bd. per 601 h. ; Floor, 255. to 265. ; loeFan Meal, 9.. 8d to 10s. 8.1. per barrel ; Indian Corn, 2s. to 2.. 1.1. per 66. b The drought complained of in the early part of the week has been seasonably removed in this district of the country, on and since Tuesday afternoon, by copious and re treating rains daily ; already producing the most beneficial effezte upon vegetation, and imparting a hca,thy and pro mis:ng appearance to all the growing crops around us. The duty on foreign Wheat is now Bs. per quarter, and on Flour, 4s. 9ld. per barrel ; that on other i articles for the ensuing week rem* ping unaltered. I Our ocastwise and Irish arrivals are, so far this week, upon nearly a. moderate • scale as the last; and from abroad we have to report only 5,833 qrs. Indian Corn; the export, of that article and of Corn Meal continue large, the inquiries for each being still numerous, hut from the limited quantity now on off, r, with a further advance in price since Tuesday, the extent of tontines, has ben of nccessi y mirth curt ailed during the post tyro days. At this day's mulct', the general runs of Irish and Mediterranean Wheats continued to meet a fair demand, acquiring • further advance of 2d. per 701 h. upon the improved rates of Tuesday; the best qualities of British or Foreign, though held with the same degree of firmness as before, scarcely ex. seeding our lot quotations. Irish and home-made Flour, bring in mo.krate request, must be quoted 6d. p r sack dearer; and American, upon • slightly amended inquiry, fully maintained late price.. Barley and Bean., of which few sales were effected, remained stationary in value. Malt. commanding a ti linable degree of attention, supported form., micas Pees dull, and nominally cheaper. The Oat trade was steady at Tucrlas 'a currency ; and Oatmeal rather more saleable at an amendment of 3d, per load. The advance on Indian Corn, which may be c died fully 2.. per quarter on g. nrrai qiealities, ehceked the execution of many orders; still a fair q lantity was cleared off at the amend ment. Corn Meal 11.1 d at 14.., and there aro buyer* at 13s. 94. per barrel ; less busine.s, therefore, has been done therein to-day. Arrivals into Liverpool from the 16th to the 13th Xis'. inclusive: Wheat, 2.814 qrs • Barley, 187 ; Malt, 1,959 At., 2.090; Beans, 213; India n Corn, 5,833; Oatmeal, 1,158 sacks; Flour, 2,722 wicks. MAIDSTONE. May 18.-We had no great supply of Wheat trhday, hut quit equal to the demand. Red ranged from 4.5.. to 48.. ; and wlitte, to 50.. Higher prices are salted for Lent Corn, but there in no inquiry fur it worth naming; and, to have made sates, old prices must have been taken. Rtrox, May 18 -We had but a tn-clerite supply of grain at our market to-day. Wheat dull, and in many instances a decline of fully Is. per qr. on last week's priers was sun mated to. In other descripti ins very little business traes acted at the quotations. Wheat, white, 6.. Gd. to 7.. ; red, Gs. 3d. to 6..91. Bean., 6s. to 63. per bushel. Barley, 335. to 234. Oats, 20a. to 33.. SCAMP/ID/UGH, May 18.-We are moderately supplied with grain of all kind* at our market t ..day, and the price for each article is the same as lot week. Wheat, 6s. to 7s. per 6 stone. Barley, 30a. to 325. per qr. of 32 stone- Oats, ' 91d. to 10id. per stone. Flour. au,vrline, 42, to 435. ; se c/lids, 365. to 37u. per sack of 20 chine. I:rrirtn, May 16.-At our market to-day we were only moderately supplied with Wheat, in which article only a moderate s mlsille.l was done, at about lart we la's picas. In Barley, Beads, and Pala nothing doing. SOUTHAMPTON, May 19.-The supply of English Wheat is small, but it meets with only a slow sale, witnout altera tion in price. In foreign little doing. The malting season being over, there is litt'e demand for heat !Juicy.; and in grinding there is little doing. Oats in more request, at an advance. Beans firm. Flour a slow sale, at 36.. per sack. Yaovao, May 19.-There was a very ,mall market to-day, and ',try little business transacted. Wheat, 5.. 9d. to Barley, 32.. to 35.. Oats, 235. to 235. Beans, 5.. to 6s. 6d. WAILEFItLD bla3 19.—The arrivals of Wheat is good this' week; really lush qualities are full as dear, but inferior sorts sell very Overly. B►rley as before. Oats and Shilling without altrniti in.

In Wheat nothing what , vt r has been done. Butane.. in general continues err . , dull ; the ac counts we rewire regarding the military movements in Lon.hardy are of a very conflicting character, and until samething is sntrltd iu that qua, t. r we can lock for little improvement.

In many gardens the bine Is now well trained to the poke and growing vigorously. There are still serious compLithts of the flea; is some grounds the bine is punished severely, awl they continue their depredations with im punity, sheltered in and beneath the cracks and clods that abound in many gardens, where, for want of a Mower, the tillage has been further pcntponed. For the last day or two we have had indications of rains, which we hope will soon follow, and enable the planters to put their gardens in order; several of which have been left untouched throughout the winter and spring, and pull remain uedug, slovenly, and overrun with weeds. We may here remark that this year the winter manuring has not been earned to so great an extent as it has been for the lost five or six years; and want of frosts prevented others from doing as much as they intended. Fly has been found at several places, soar two end more on a leaf; bow severely they still make the struck remains to be seen. We are sorry to find that the maggot is seriously affecting the apple blerooms.

CHURCH BENEFICES. The Bishop of LLANDAFF ruse, mamma to notice, " to move an humble address to tier Majesty, praying that her Majeety will be graciously ph aced to consent to the intro duction of a bill for limiting the time during which church benefices in the gilt of the crown may be kept vacant." The present privilege of the crown was extremely injuries:is in ill operation. In the case which he was going to refer to there MAR no charge of unsound doctrine or iminorality; hat the evil was a great one. There were many parts of Wales in which the Welsh language was still see ken, and particularly so in Glamorganslore, where its almost every parish the Welsh as well as the English language was spoken ; and a mere learning of the language from • dictionary and a grammar, like a schoolboy, would never qualify a man to IN, the pastor of a parish. A gentleman called Paynton had been appointed by the Lord Chancellor to a parish in his diocese—(Llanell), we understood)—who did not thoroughly understand the Welsh language. He wrote to Mr. Paynton ' and told him it would be necessary that he should be examined in the Welsh language, and the result reported to beim. He also desired the rural dean, who lied recited in that neigh bourhood for 30 years, to ascertain whether it was necessary that the minister of the parish should understand Welsh, and his answer was, that the people said they were all Welsh ; and he was . of opinion that it was a clear case fey an examination. A memorial had also been presented to him (the bishop) signed by the churviiwardeue and many of the inhabitants of the pa- ish, expressing a wish to have a cler gyman conversant with the language. Mr. Paynton declined to he examined, and said thot an he had several times preached in Welsh, he hoped that would be considered suffi meat. A Mr. Griffith, a Oergyotan in the neighbourhood, who understood the Welsh lauguiwe well, agreed to ex change with Mr. Paynton/or the living which he held, if the Lord Chancellor would accede to it. He (the bishop), however, wrote to the Lord Chancellor in October last, hut did not get en answer even from his private recrctery. He had, under the circumstances, declined to institute Mr. Paynton, but the living being in the gift of the crown there was no lapse, although in any other case where a living was not in the gist of the crown, it could not remain vacant for more than au months. He had taken an opportunity since of expressing to the Lord Chancellor his view of the case, but without effect ; and things remained as they were before. In January last, the living of St. Andrew, one of the brat is joiht of income in his diocese, also in the gift of the crown, became eanarit For waut f a good resi dent clergyman during the last twenty yeers, the congrega bon in the church had been reduced to only about tire per sons out of a population of 500. The last minister who was appointed to the living did not understand the language, nod the only remedy he (the bishop) had, was to compel him to appoint a curate who understood the Welsh language. He wrote tothe Lord Chancellor when he found the living was about to become vacant, to urge the neceseity of the appoint ment of a clergyman who understood the Welsh language, but be had not received • reply, and that was nearly five months ago. The other, day, h a gentleman from Kent called on him, and, having used the name of the Lord Chan cellor, asked if he (the eishop) would object to induct him to the living. lie found, however, that he did not know the Welsh language, and although he offered to employ a curate who did, he (the bishop) could not con sent to violate the rule vehicle he had laid d iwn. The form of the presentation by the crown was in the most peremptory terms. He could net, however, believe that the honoured mother of the Prince of Wales would give her eanctioa to any measure which offered an indignity to a bishop, and which was must offensive and insulting to the People of his diocese. He had pat his motion in a form pray ' ing her Majesty to take means to prevent the recurrence of ' such cases ; but be idea hoped that some remedy might be foutid for the present one. Unless some alteration were made in the mode of dispensing the church patronage in the gift of the crown in Wales, the whole country would be ringing with complaints. It was a growing evil which called for a public remedy ; and although he might not press his motion to a division, he hop- d it would lead to the ado on of some measure wh ich' ti would prevent the recurrence of the mil of which Inc complained. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the right rev. prelate's motion sought to propose a remedy for that which he consi dered an evil in the existing state of the law; hut his speech had nothing whatever to do with the subject, for it related more or less to a knowledge of the Welsh language by persons who had been appointed to livings in his dioosee. The ri :ht rcv. prelate wanted to limit the inue during which church !Wangs in the gift of the crown might be kept vacant. Why, the first living to which he had referred had become Taunt in June, and a clergyman who had been appointed to it presented himself to the right rev. prelate to be instituted in July. The second living became vacant in January, and in April the party to whom it was offered tendered himself to the right rev. prelate for institution. By an extraordi nary combination of error, the right rev. prelate would in. vade the prerogative of the crown and deprive parliament of its privileges. He proposed that the crown should be limited in the time of presentation, which would be an in vasion of its prerogative; and it was now the privilege of any member of that house to lay on the table a measure for the purpose contemplated by the right reverend pee -1 ite, and proceed to a certain stage, without the consent of the crown. It was also the pretogative of the crown to dissent from a bill in any stage. (The average time that had elapsed between the lapse of livings that bad fallen in and their filling up by nomination of fresh incumbents, was three months. There were, as the right rev . . prelate said, more than 70' livings in the gift of the Chancellor, but half of them were below 2001. a year in value, and great difficulty existed in finding persons qualified who would accept of suck email livings. Whilst he was ready to admit the great merits of the right rev. prelate, he must say that he thought he was mistakes in the view he took of the question. He did nut mean to say that the right rev. prelate had practised a surprise upon him in the present .see; but he certainly had given no notice of hiiintention to enter upon the general subject which he had discussed. The question of a knowledge of the Welsh language being essential for the incumbent of Welsh livings had often been mooted, and there were a number of great authorities who stated it to be their opinion that it was not an essential, but on the contra. y. Ile had always been anxious to r.ce ive advice trim a bishop of a diocese on the subject o' appointments in the church; but when he found, as in the case of the right rev. pre late, that a very strong opinion had already bees, formed as to the mode in which the exercise of the prerogative of the crown ought to be exercised, then it behoved. him to be extremely cautious how he entertained any ouch advice. The noble and learned lord then entered into a statement of the facts relative to 'he refusal of the Bishop of Llandaff to induct the gentleman nominated to the living of St. An drew's, from which it appeared that the bishop refused to institute any one who was not a Welshman into any living within his Welsh ditese. With respect to Mr. Sampson, he denied that there was any relationship between himself and that reverend gentleman, and the assertion was pure invention that Mr. Sampson was his relative. He had appointed that gentleman, on condition that he was ac quainted with the Welsh language, but when he demanded to be examined in Welsh before the bishop, the right rev. prelate refused, and nothing w.aild satiety him but to have the appointment bestowed upon a Welshman. With respect to the letter which the right rev. prelate had addressed to him relative to the vacancy at St. Andrew's, it only amounted to the fact that the right rev. prelate had two or three candidates who knew W. Ish, whom he wished to have appointed, but certainly he (the Lord Chancellor) did not think, whatever might be the respect be had for the o ffice of the bishop, that the right rev. prelate ought to be allowed to interfere with the exercise of the prerogative of the crown. The right rev. prelate had certainly done as he had promised, and brought the subject before the House of Lords, but in doing su ho had been obliged to bring himself before the house, sad now the only question was whether his doing in had been more to the disadvantage of the patron than of biruselt. The other in stance brought forward by the right rev. prelate was that of a gentleman who had been appointed to a small living in Wales which fell vacant in June last ; the right rev. prelate had refused to institute him on the ground that he wan not sufficiently well versed in the Welsh language, but he (the Lord Chancellor) begged to recall to the right rev. pre late's memory a letter written by him in the year 1838, wherein he mentions with great praise the exertions of the very gentleman in question, admitting that he was well quilified to officiate in the Welsh language, and to preach in that language, and stating that the rev. gentleman had performed his duties satisfactorily for many years in his diocese: and, yet, when this same gentleman presented him self for institution before the right rev. prelate, the latter re fused, on the ground that he WWI not qualified to officiate in the Welsh language. From that time to the present he had taken no steps in the matter, but had awaited the results of the moreedings which the right rev. prelate had expressed his intention to resort to, of the propriety of which their lordships would now be qualified to juege. The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S entertained no doubt of the determination of the noble and learn. d lord to exercise his patronage in the most conscientious manner, and, indeed, ha was able to speak to this fact from his own knowledge. The question before the house, however, was in no degree mixed up with that larger one to which the noble and learned lord alluded ; namely, the expediency of extinguishing the Welsh language. To this he must my he was entirely opposed : any attempt to do so in respect to the church service in Wales would, in hie opinion, only tend to dove the whole popula tion of Wales into the arms of tome other religious sect. It was absolutely essential far the well being of the church in t mi n :: : mnilhal t icen o hisae n nrh e thalady w oviee i ert c l t ddeeery h 4P a imWma d inPtd o ll ie Wra r lr r a t ngo e ft d thuthhaage m tact or e7Qa e intarld f tbh : yit l inv.bem y :gOe lla tf:htli al ol ' hugth th thabhe c eitretaca d t° e u 7el Poillied, out by his right rev. friend.
