LATEST FROM PARIS. NUMEROUS ARRESTS. Since the receipt of our l'aris correspondent's letter, with particulars of the revolutionary movement in the French capital up to y-esterday forenoon, which will be found within, the following communication has reached us : PARIS, TVERDAY, 6 P.M. During last night and this morning large bodies of regular troops of every arm have been arriving in Paris, and the government has announced that still more are expected. A great number of the Guard Xlobilo occupied the environs of the Chamber during the night This morning largo bodies of cavalry, infantry, and artillery approached by the numerous avenues. The quay ander the vestibule of the Chamber, with the bridge and the Place de la Concorde, were altogether covered with troops; the public were excluded from this space. The quay extending fn m the Chamber to the esplanade of the Invalides was similarly occupied. A detachment of infantry was placed across the end of every street leading to the Chamber, and the approaoh of all per sons was prevented except such as were furnished with a ram Artillery was stationtd on the Place de la Concorde, and at other points commanding the chief approaches to the Chamber. At the different posts throughout the capital, the National Guard was kept under arms, and the con stant beating of the drums, and matching of detach ments, horse and foot, gave the town all the appear ance of a state of war. Several thousand of the National Guard of 'Ver sailles and other adjacent places marched into Paris this morning. The mayor and chief officers of the National Guard of Nielnn have arrived in l'aris to tender to the As sembly the aid of the National Guard and population of that place. Last night it was observed that numerous signals trete male from the top of the Ho'el de Ville, and rotninued from house to house along the quays to the prefecture of police. The battalion of the pupils of the Military School of St. Cyr arrived in Paris last night, under the or ders of the etat-major of the school. The journals of this morning which announced that NI. Blanqui had not been arrested, were, it I PPeant in error; besides that individual, Bathes, i errtnis, and Sobrier, thfre have been arrested also Hobert Lemaitre, Rasped, Toutin, and Col. Saisset. 31 . Boquet, the adjoint mayor of the 12th arrondisement, and the friend of Barbde, has also been arrested. It appears that this individual yesterday, liter having refused to deliver cartridges to the National Guards of the 12th Legion, was met at ten o'clock at night in the Rue St. Jacques, escorting ten 'am, each carrying a basket of cartridges. Soquet had also is his pocket an order for the beating of the rappel. The Assembly met t hi s morn ing at half-past ten. ne aspect of the interior of the Chamber presented !tenting marks of the rade of yesterday. The cover ing o f the benches, the carpets and curtains, were torn S ild trampled on. But few ladies were seen in the Kane & • ~:.w. 1• 1//4,-,P It was announced in the proces verbal that General Contain was under arrest, and placed in the charge of a detachment of the Guard Mobile. . . It was also announced that seventy-five of the body guard kept by the Clubbist &brier, in the home of the Rue de ltivoli, were arrested. In the same house a large quantity of arms and ammunition were found. It was also announced that the guard called the Montagnards was disbanded. The members of the self-constituted Provisional Government, and several of their principal adherents, who were arrested yesterday evening, or in the comes of the night, were unmet d this morning, at 3 o'clock, in three diligence*, to the chateau of Vincennes, as the prison offering the greatest security against any at tempt at rescue. The roofs of the diligence* were covered with National Guards, and a strong escort of lancers accompanied them. On the opening of the Chamber M. Buchez, the Preeieit:!; having resigned the chair to M. Corbon, one of the Vice, resident*, proceeded to otter to the Chamber explanations for his conduct yesterday, on the occasion of the invasion of the Chamber by the populace. M. Buchez said, that, being pressed and besieged by threatening letters containing furious menaces against the Assembly on the subject of beating the rappel, he thought it right to give orders to suspend it. At these words violent murmurs broke out from all parts of the Assembly. M. Bucher appeared discon certed, and stammered out excuses, saying that he feared for the lives of the members. " But honour is more precious than life !" cried several voices. " Rather die," cried others, "than adopt your course!" (Loud applause.) You have been intrepid, it is true (resumed M. Bucher), but it seems to me that the conduct of your President is not unworthy of yours. (Here more nmeamnrs broke out.) I only desired to give these explanations (said M. Bucher). Alter further altercation of this kind, M. Buchez withdrew, without returning to the chair. M. Gamier Pages (Member of the Executive Go vernment) assured the Assembly that the most effectual measures were taken to assure the safety of the Assembly and of the public, and enumerated the prisoners taken. Ile added that M. Caussidiere, Pre fect of Police, had not yet been dismissed, and that he was about to offer explanations to the Assembly on the subject of the inaction imputed to the police yesterday. Several members spoke on the subject of the prefect of police and the republican guard, imputing to them complicity with the insurgent party. Mons. Caussidiere soon after presented himself to offer explanations to the Assembly. Twe hours were consumed with the various questions put to him and the answers given, at the end of which he resigned his office. I am informed, however, that the Ministry secretly assured the leading deputies that on his re turn to the prefecture he should be arrested, and this put an end to the discussion. When M. Caussidiera presented himself in the Chamber, much surprise was expressed, inasmuch as reports had circulated that he had shut himself up in the prefecture of police, and set the government at defiance. Respecting this . the following explanation is given Twenty-five thousand men of the National Guard and troops of the hue had gone to surround the Prefecture of Police. H. Clement Thomas, General-in-chief of the National Guard, having presented himself to sum moos M. Caussidere to surrender, that person answered that, as a representative, he would not surrender esci pt to a decree of the Assembly. H. Thomas consrquei.tly invited hi. Causeithere to repair to the Assembly, to which he consented. The explanations given by H. Causaidolre possessed no particular interest beyond the circumstance that he sought continually to make the Provisional Goverment, the executive com mission, and the present ministry, participators in the wrongs with which they reproach him. H. Cremieux having consids red it his duty to give explanations, M. Caussidiere became more violent, and in • tone of bravado cried out that it had been his inten tion to carry on his office in a fraternal manner, as the times required ; but, since he .no longer had their confi dence, he would resign. Among the propositions brought forward in the Assembly to-day, was one by 14. Billault, to interdict, under severe penalties, all tumultuous meetings (attroupements) within 1,500 metres of the Chamber. It was ordered to be referred to the Committee CS Justice. At 4 o'clock I drove again round the princpel pert* of the town which form the centre of the movement. The Chamber and its vicinity continued as already described. On proceeding towards the prefecture of police I found the quays, bridges, and all the avenues to that building completely filled with troops; the same was the case with the Falai, de Justice and the Hotel de Ville. I think that the total number of troops, including the National Guard, under arms to-day in Paris cannot be less than 300,000. Within the last two hours the walls have been pla carded with an apologetic manifesto from M. Causi diere, in which he defends his conduct by declaring that a republican police cannot adopt pre ventive measures, and that his functions could only be repressive. I am informed that he wrote yesterday morning to M. Pagnerre, secre tary of the Provisional Government, assuring him that the demonstration about to be made would be perfectly tranquil, that his agents were at the head of the movement, and that he would be responsible for the result. The executive was not, however, wholly tranquillised, but made fewer and Ices important preparations, scarcely expecting an attack. The following protest, signed by a great number of National Guards, has been published : Citizen Representatives,—The persons and functions of the representatives of the people ere sacred, but there are soloist circumstances under which, in the name of order and tbn public safety, immediate justice ought to be done. At the moment of danger, General Courtais has failed in hi duty by abandoning the National Guard, which he com manded, leavieg it without direction. He gave a written order to allow the factious men to enter. Upon the proposition ef Hubert. Barba cried, " Down with the Assembly ! the As sembly is dissolved!" These are flagrant offences. These men must be repudiated be the National Guard, by the National Assembly, and by France. We demand the expul lion of Barbes and Connate from among the representatives, and the dismissal of Courtais es general, and that both may be brought to trial. Justice in the name of France Vivent les Repiesentante ! Vire la Republique ! The Assembles Nationale concludes an article on the late disturbances with these words: We adjure the National Assembly not to declare itself satisfied with the silence of M. Ledru in the teeth of accusations precise ai.d twice charged azainst him. It cannot so soon have forgotten to what a "satisfaction obstiree" may lead. The firm measures of the ministry for the restora tion of order and the general tarn taken by the debate in the Assembly had a most favourable effect at the Bourse. The Threes rose almost at once 4 francs on 44, the closing price of yesterday, and closed at 471. The Fives rose at one period to 71, being 7 francs on 64, the closing price of yesterday. They clost.d at 70. The following is the programme of the ministry , and executive government which was proposed to I be formed by the conspirators who violated the Assembly yesterday : Executive Government : Ledru Rollin, Blanqui, and Barbee. Ministers: Caussidiere, Interior; Flacon, Foreign Affairs; Louis Blanc, Labour; Albert, Public Works; V. Schalcher, Marine ; Pierre Leroux, Justice ; Hubert, Finances; and Sobrier, Police. Yesterday, when M. Lamartine and M. Ledru Rollin went to the Hotel de Vile, the latter, having advanced a few steps before M. Lamartine, was arrested by the second in command at the Hotel de Ville. M. Ledru Rollin having strongly pro tested against this, the officer answered, " 1 arrest you because your name is on the list of the pretended government which has been pr oclaimed . " M. Ledru Rollin then alighted from his horse, when he was joined by M. Lamartine, who said he would be an swerable for his colleague.

ITALY. The Bulletin of Milan, of the Bth, says : We have good news from Venice. On the morning of the Bth, Durand°, having advanced on Feltre, met the Austrian corps which surprised Delluno yesterday; some skirmishing, accompanied by a cannonade, took place along the Piave, but without any serious engagement. Enthusiasm for war has revived at Venice. The offerings for the pro secution of the war have been considerable and general, and a great number of volunteers have enrolled themselves in the corps of den. Ferrari. Oen. Antonini is arrived at Mestra, with the column and company of defenders of the barricades of Milan destined to the defence of Ilargbera, a military post of the highest importance.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. In another page will be found a detailed report of the proce dings connected with the trial of Mr. Smith O'Brien up to a late hour on Monday, when the jury, being unable to agree, were locked up for the night. Yesterday morning, on coming into court, the foreman stated that there was no chance of a verdict, whereupon the Chief Justice directed the jury to be discharged. The trial of Mr. Meagher was then proceeded with, and con cluded at four p.m., when the jury retired. At five the foreman informed the cuurt that the jury were not likely to agree, and up to post-hour last evening no verdict bad been returned. It was un derstood that two persons held out for an acquittal. THE REFORM MOVEMENT. COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX MEETING. Thin meeting, which has been convened by the sheriff., for the purpose of taking into consideration various reform measures, took place this day, at Hall's Hiding School, Albany Street, when, on the doors being opened, at 12 o'clock, about 1,000 or 1,200 persons assembled. Among them were a largo number of well-known Chartists, and ou the platform were also assembled many of the leaders of that body who have been taking part in the recent proceedings of the Convention. she latter gentlemen were loudly cheered. on entering. Shortly before 1 o'clock the sheriffs arrived, when the chair was taken by Mr. Sheriff Cubitt. On the platform were several members of parliament, including Mr. Hume. Previous to tho commeucement of the pro. ceedinsrs, a person in the body of the meeting called attention to the fact that a considerable number of police had distributed themselves among the assembly, sod their withdrawal was immediattly demanded by the majority of the meeting. Amidst cries of "No police ; " "No Gagging Bill ;" "Turn them out ; " and a most deafening uproar, the chairman attempted to address the assembly, who however were deaf to his remon strances, until, after a continuation of the scene for several minutes, it was intimated that the demand should be complied with. The announcement was received with enthusimic manifestations of approval, and a general waving of hats, in which a leigo number of gentlemen occupying the platform, joined. A passage was then ch ared, and the police marehed out, amidst great:cheering. Letters having been read from Sir De L icy Evans and the hon. members for the borough, excusing themselves for non. attendance, on the ground of parliamentary duties, the re gular proceedings of the day commenced, and Mr. W. WILLIAMS was moving the first resolution at the time of , our going to press. A full report of the proceedings will he published in the Dail News of to morrow. MEETING AT NORTHAMPTON, NORTLIAMPTON, TUEBDAY.—A meeting of the in habitants of this town, convened by the mayor in compliance with a requisition signed by about 200 of the principal housekeepers, was held to day in the Town-hall, " to con fider," u the requisition stated, " the propriety of petition. ing the House of Commons in favour of an extension of the suffrage to all ratepayers, vote by ballot. and triennial par liaments ; also, to press upon the legislature the necessity of a rigid investigation into the expenditure of the country with a view to its diminution; a national rate for the expenses of the poor, and such other reforms as may tend to the welfare and prosperity of the country; so that by promoting pub lic confidence and restoring trade to a healthy condition all classes may be enabled to live happy and comfortable in their respective stations." The MAYOR took the chair. Mr. BAGOIR moved the first resolution. That the present political and eociel conditlue of the people shown that • further extension of the suffrage is not only expedient but We and necessary, that prudence and duty require a government to keep wee with public opinion on this an on alt other quoin°. ; and that the lime has arrived for a cordial union among all dames of !dormers CM this vital subject. Mr. Sent PsoN cordially seconded the resolution. At this stage of the proceedings, it being intimated that the Town-hall, in which the meeting wu assembled, did not diked accommodation for all who were anxious to take part lis the proceedings, a motion was put and carried for ad journing to the New-hall, in Newland, and thither the meeting repaired. The MAYOR having taken his place recommenced the proceedings by putting the resolution to the meeting.—Car ried with two dimentunts. The Rev. Mr. Bennett proposed the next resolution. That this meeting in of opinion that the elective franchise should be extended.* as tuinclude householders; that votes should be taken by ballot; that the duration of parliaments should not exceed three years, and that the apportionment of members to the pupulatioa *odd be made more equal. Mr. Steam. (ex -mayor) had great plearare in seconding the resolution. Mr. P. Panay rose to propose an amendment. As op posed to household he advocated universal suffrage, equally to the villagers as to townsmen. He proposed ; That the meeting hold) that it is the right of every man, II years of age (or however else a man might be defined) to have a vats —an equal vote with every other man, It uncommitted for crime, sad of sane mind, to vow fora member of parliament ; and that it is also the right of every man to sd in that parliament whom a Majority of such electors mar select. In the course of his speech he remarked upon some of Mr. Bennett's observations, tending, as he thought, to impugn the virtue and political honesty of a portion of the labour ing classes. This called up - Mr. Besisirte, who protested against the line of argument taken by Mr. Perry—a line which his (Mr. Bennett's) observations would not fairly bear. Mr. LATCHMORE interposed, giving his impression of Mr. Beunett's remarks, the correctness of which was admitted by Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Perry expressed his regret at the misunderstanding into which he had unintentionally fallen. Mr. BROWN (chartist) seconded the amendment, as afford ing an opportunity for the people to express their opinions. (Hear.) Mr. LATCHICORR supported the amendment. Mr. PENODY (ex -delegate for Nathampton at the chartist convention) also spoke in favour of the amendment. Mr. al conar„contended that the inhabitant- of the eget. cultural districts were not entitled to, but in every way fitted for, the exercise of the franchise. The Rev. Mr. BENNEtr, in explanation, remarked, that the separation between the middle and working classes which had so long existed, was owing to the course taken by the latter, who had refused to act in concert utiles' the middle class would adopt all the points the working (bases advocated. It had been said the middle classes consulted expediency and not right. Why, in thousands of things, in the proceedings of nations as well as of men, expediency was right, and to neglect it would be to do ',roue. Mr.JONP.9 (unitarian preacher) declared his concurrence with the views enunciated in Mr. B. anat . * epoch, and his readiness to share with Mr. Bennett all the obloquy that might he Cast upon him. The MAYOR then put the question to the meeting, when the amendment was carried by a vast majority, amid loud cheering and clapping of hands. Mr. Bennett left the meeting as soon RI the decision was taken. Mr. DENNIS, to whom the next resolution had been en trusted, then came forward, and said that, since an adverse resolution had been come to, it would ill become them (the whips) to submit further resolutions to the meeting, and he would leave to the majority the further conduct of the proceedings. (Expressions of disapprobation.) Mr. PHILLIPS, by way of appeasing the meeting, said he was sure Mr. Dennis would not hate withdrawn hie resolu tion bad he not felt that it was not pertinent to the resolution just passed. Mr. LIOLLOWRLL, a chartist, then proposed "that it is the opinion of this meeting that is order to give effect to the amendment just carried, vote by ballot, annual parliaments, equal electoral districts, and payment of members, should be added." Mr. MONDAY seconded the proposition, which was put and carried unanimously. Mr. Mu NDA Y then proposed that the resolutions he embo died in a petition, to be signed by the mayor on behalf of the meeting, to be sealed with the town seal, and forwarded to the town members for presentation. (A laugh.) Mr. BARKER (chartist) seconded the propesition, which was carried unanimously amidst the cheers of the chartists, the supporters of household suffrage taking no part in the proceedings. Mr. PHILLIPS proposed that the molutions be advertised in the Northampton papers. Mr. Basile said they could only advertise at their own expense. (Hear.) Mr. Piracies had little doubt that had the resolutions proposed by the other party been carried, the expense of ad vertising would have been defrayed out of the corporation funds. (Hear.) The MAYOR explained that each expenses had not for some time been defrayed from the public purse. Mr. PHILLIPS : Then they would do it by subscription before they left that room. He deprecated the exhibition or the harbouring of ill-feeling by any parties from what might have arisen out of the proceedings. Mr. DENNIS, at this juncture, said the change which had just been adopted by the amendment would be next to sub stituting are public fora mnnaretiy. A most pregnant com mentary on universal suffrage had just been c ommunicated by telegraphic despatch from Paris, staling that the popu . lace had forma them way into the national assembly, and MEETLNG AT OLDHAM. - On Monday evening one of the largest and moat crowded meetings ever held et Oldham took place in the lownhall, called by the head constables upon a requisition signed by upwards of 600 voters of the borough, for the pur pose of considering the propriety of giving their support to the new reform movement with a view to a reductioa of ex penditure aid an equalisation of taxation, Mr. Clegg presided. Mr. RICHARD COOPER moved: That this meeting hr of opinion that the public expenditure of this country is much larger than Is consistent web public prosperity or with goal government. It therefore cannot view that expenditure rapidly and curimmtly increanlng, and the hunien of taxation becom ing more and more ippria ice and unequal, without feelings of ex treme alarm. And thin meeting believes there will be no well-grounded hope of any efficient remede PO long as • great proportion of those who pay the taxes are not directly represented in the commons bowie of parliament. Dlr. It. Ft LTOISIR seconded the motion, and it was car ried with only half a dozen dissentients. Mr. J. Mutton moved the second resolution: That thin meeting cordially njmniathisin with the movement now being made In favour of hinewhold oufft age. vote by ballot, short par ihrnento, and equal electoral dl-Irian, and pledges itself to co-operate fn nt curing these measures of pardamentery reform, so u means for effecting retrenchment in thin expenditure of thin country, dna sworn pluthing the gull and final PUOOCIPS of thane fundamental principles of twin - nal regeneration, namely, equality of repreerntation and taxa tion, which have veer been the object of the radical reformers in this borough. Mr. Jonas Swing seconded the motion. Mr. ROBERT GIFFORD, of Royton, a chartist, moved en amendment: That thin meeting views with feelings of gratification the appeal =timid the middle cinema to Hume measures of national reform de -1 sired by the working chimes, yet us the suffrage to mix's inherent right, without r property 0141fielll1011, thin meeting CPOOOt with con sistency join in any agitation short of the people's charter. Mr. AMEROVE ICOOT expressed regret that this amend ment, had been interposed. I Mr. ALKKAAIDEit. TAyboa and several of the speakers de preeated t. e amendment, and Mr. Hurst, at length, with drew his sanction from the amendment, observing that he had learnt that it was a middle class meeting to sympathise merely . with a movement originated elsewhere, and under thou eircumstancis h.• thought they should not be opposed. The chartists, amidst great uproar, got another seconder in place of Mr. Hurst to their amendment, and it was put by the chairman, who called on both sides to hold up both hands. The result was that the chartists were defeated. Mr. W. WILDE moved the formation of a society, to be called " The Borough of Oldham Reform Association." Mr. J. CHADWICK seconded the motion, and it was sup ported by Mr.R.J.RlCllAunson,ot Manchester. The motion was carried, and the chartists were so far re conciled at the close as to agree, with the exception of about • dozen, in a vote of thanks to the chairman. SHIPPING.

In •,he afternoon the inhabitants presented an address, through the mayor, at the council chamber, which was filled with a brilliant assemblage of ladies, military and naval <linen, and inhabitants, who received Sir Charles with deafening cheers, while the band of the 17th Regiment played "See the Conquering Hero comes." Sir Charles, in acknowledging the address, very modestly transferred all the honour to the gallant officers and men who fought under his command. Soon afterwards Sir Charles lett for Landow by way al Brighton. COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Wheat sold slowly at the rates of Monday last. Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas were all quite as dear as on that market day, but the sale was far from brisk. ARRIVALS INTO LONDON FROM 15th MAY TO 17th MAY „...... Wbeet I ---r t -- Barley 970 Oats Flour, M 0 mks; barrel& Malt, 2,010 qre. HULL, May 16.—We have had another week of exceed ingly tine seasonable weather, and under its influence the crops, and vegetation of every kind. progress most favour. ably. An occasional shower and strong dews have prevented any injury to spring Corn, but for it and the pastures more rain will soon be desirable. The Wheat market has been exceedingly languid throughout the whole week, neither holders nor buyers being disposed to change their position and admit the influence of tine weather on the one hand, or the cessation of supplies through the blockade of German ports on the other. Hence little or no business has resulted, and the bulk of the above supply has either gone into granary or to interior markets. The supply of Wheat at this day's market from our own growers was again only limited, and more money was attempted to be made; but under the influence of the weather and the inactive character of other markets, our millers refused compliance, and no progress could be made in sales except at last week's prices. The same remark applies to foreign, with more disposition to be out of stock than noticeable for some time back. The ex treme heat stops many melsters from working their kilns, and hence the supply of Barley is more than sufficient fos the demand. We note all descriptions is. lower. Oats attract attention, but there are now no low sellers un the market, and arrivals are trifling. Russian, of fine quality, form the bulk of our granaried supply. Beans fully main tain their value. We are without arrival' of Peas, and the parcels in granary are held above their market value, other wise there is an improved inquiry for them. Only a trifling business doing in Linseed, and the market again lower. Cakes are in good demand at our quotations, and foreign much cleared off. A cargo of good Memel, of fresh quality, is at present on sale. Without supplies of Rapeseed the market is again 200. per last dearer, and would sell freely at the above currency. Rape Cakes somewhat stiffer, as ale also Bones, of which arrivals are insignificant. This has enabled holders of landed parcels to teed some clearance of their stocks. Some southern cargos, are, however, daily expected, and one is just in. A small parcel of Indian Corn, of good quality, is on sale from ship. Irewicn, May 16.—The demand for Wheat is more lively to-day, and prices may be noted 6d. to is. per qr. higher than last week ; condition is improved. The attend ance of farmers and the supply are far from large. But little Barley on offer; malting qualities command fully late rates, and grinding is sought after. But few Beans appear ; these are inquired for at higher rates, for local consumption. Lagos, May 16.—Our arrivals of grain are moderate. Wheat meets a slow sale, and prices are the turn In tavour of the buyer. Barley steady. Oats and Beans fully as dear. No alteration in other grain. Average price of grain: Wheat, 2,416 qrs., 50s. ld. . • Barley, 199, 361. 3d. ; Oats, 228, 31s. 10d.; Beans, 131, 3 55. 2d. LEIGHTON BUZZ/LED, May 16.-Of Wheat there was fair average supply fur the time of year, the Made for which ruled dull ,• but, nevertheless, last week's rates W 4.111 about maintained. Barley, Beans, and Peas firm; on new Beans an advance of Is. per load was obtained. Wheat, per load of .5 bushels, 275. to 31s. Barley, per qr. imperial, grinding, 295. to 325. ; malting, 32e. to 3aa. Beans, old, 295. to 31s. ; new, 240. to 265. Peal, 251. to 28s. Lit earooc, May 16.-From the continued detention of vessels in the Baltic, and scarcely any spring shipments having yet vine in from America, our supplies of foreign grain, since this day week, are perfectly insignificant, and those of English and Irish produce altogether very limited in amount. In several of the leading markets of this country and Ir.land towards the end of last week, the Wheat trade was reported somewhat more buoyant, in others rather the reverse, but generally without any important change in prices; in most directions, however, the value of all kinds of spring Corn inclined a little upwards, owing to the existing drought, and though the Wheat plant is stated to be'fgreatly improved, yet, for every other crop the want of rain is evident. Upon a good attendance of home and and country millov, with several buyers from Ireland, the trade this morning assumed a tolerably active tone, in reference to Irish and the low kinds of foreign Wheats, which realised an advance of Id. to 2d. per 70 lbs., whilst in any description of English, or in the superior qualities of Foreign, the transactions were rather unim portant, and prices unvaried. Irish Flour, being is fair re quest, improved Is. per sack ; but American, of which few good brands remain unsold, met little notice, though offered on the terms previously named. The malting season being over, Barley for that purpose appeared nominal, but grinding sample*, meeting an improved demand, were 3d. per bushel dearer, and Malt fully supported our last quotations. Beans, commanding rather more attention, obtained somewhat higher prices. In Peas no variation. Oats were saleable at an amendment of Id. per 451 b., and Oatmeal was 3d. per load higher. Indian Corn, continuing to be taken eagerly and extensively for Ireland, readily acquired 2s. to 2s 6d. per 4801bs. above the rates of this day week; and Corn Meal ob tained 13a. to I3s. 3d. per barrel. LYNN, May 16.-A thin attendance of farmers at muket to-day. Scarcely any other grain than Wheat now offering, and for which the prices of last week were freely given. 611 b. to 631 b., 465. to 490. ; fine white, 62a, ; Oats, 12d. per stone ; Beans, 36e. to 400. per qr. to the grower. PLYMOUTH, May 16.—The weather continues very warm and fine, although there is now the appearance of a change. At this morning's market but little business wu done, although millers showed mere disposition to purchase, and the trade generally are supposed to be bare of stock. SALISBURY, May 16.—The finest qualities of Wheat realised from 435. to 495. per qr.; moderate, 40s. to 435. in ferior, 365. to 40s.

DOWSE, return of the number or semi aurtendered in Ireland under the Outrage Suppression Aet. PENSIONS TO SPANISH REFUGEES. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved " that there he laid before this house a return of all the Spanish refugees who have been pensioners of the British government 6ille• Iles death of Ferdinand VII. in 1833, when all could lilies returned; specifying whether, subsequently to that period, nay fresh names have been added, and who are the present reelpients, with the amount allowed to each." The noble s e:rquis proceeded to say that there was a strong feeling in this Ountry &grand the interference of the Foreign Secretary i n the affairs of other countries. Since the letter of Mr. Bulwer to the Spanish minister there had been an insurree. Don at Madrid ; and who could say that his interference had not in some weature tended to produce it ? He had advised the Queen-Mother as to the affairs of Spain. Why, what should we say if Spaniards were to tender advice to the Queen Dowager on the affairs of this country? With more immediate reference to his notice, he would say that when we saw the injustice done to English bondholders, why should we give such large pensions to Spanish refugees ? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE would gladly extract out of the miscellaneous matter of the noble marquis anything which would bear the appearance of a question if he could. If the noble marquis had asked him why there had been an increase in the number of pensioners, or had put any other tangible question, he might have been able to answer it. He would, however, say that there had been no increase as to the number of the recipients, or the am o unts paid. The pen- .. lions were not granted by the Foreign • office, but had been en tirely transferred to the Hoes. Guards, where they were, no doubt, correctly and impartially administered. In the first in stance the amount of pensions was about 10,0001., hut that was great many years ago. About the year 1529 it bad in to 18,0401. ; and since that period, instead of there having been that extraordinary increase which had awa kened the eon , titutional jealousy and suspicion of the noble marquis, there had been a decrease to 1,7771. (Hear, hear.) The number of recipients at one time had been about 300, bet they had now decreased to 56. (Hear, hear.) With reference to recent transactions in Spain, he had nothing to add to what he had said on a former occasion. He then said. *ether Majesty's government did not intend to take any farther steps on the subject. There bad been no variation In the relations between England and Spain, and he had no hesitation In telling the noble marquis that her Majesty's government were not prepared to concur in the language of the noble marquis's motion, and cast reflections en Mr. Bul wer for indiscretion. If her Majesty's government were on all occasions to indulge in "reflections on indiscretion," there was no saying bow far they might extend, perhaps to the eskers of questems as well as to other matters. (Much laughter.) Ile had no objection to give the noble marquis all the information he wanted, but he hoped he would see the impossibility of insisting upon the names of the parties who were in the receipt of pensions being published. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON said the amount, small as it had now become, was given in charity towards indivi duals who had performed services to the British army in the time of need ; and the pensions were not given on any poli tical or other ground whatever. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY consented to the omission of the names of the pensioners ; and the motion, so amended, was agreed to. The noble marquis stated that he would withdraw the following notice which he had placed upon the paper, viz.:—" To inquire whether her Majesty's government are united in a cordial approbation of Mr. Bid wer's recent conduct, without any reflections of indiscretion on his part in the orders he received." REMOVAL OF ALIENS BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the order of the day for the consideration of the Commons' amendments to the Removal of Aliens Bill. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH expressed his surprise that the noble marquis had not explained what the amend ments were, and complained generally of the bill and the amendments. Lord CAMPBELL defended the Commons' amendments, and said the bill would not inflict any hardship on well dispased foreigners. Lord STANLEY complained of the power of bail which had been inserted in the bill by the Commons, and disap proved of other amendments which they had made in the 4th and sth clauses, which contradicted each other, and mate. daily weakened the eff. et of the bill. Earl FITZ WILLIAM hoped that it would never be found necessary to carry the provisions of the bill in's active opera tion, as it would bare a very dangeraus effect upon the friendly Malone of England with foreign nations, which it was the professed wish of this country to maintain unim paired. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that if the noble earl had bestowed a few hours' attendance upon the house during the time the bill was in progress, he would have better understood its purport than he seemed to do; but so indifferent was the noble earl to the measure, that he never once was present whilst it was under consideration. Lord REDESDALE objected to the powers granted to two justices of the peace—powers greater than were to be possessed under the bill by the Secretary of State . . or • judge. Those powers were conferred by the additional clauses, and he agreed with the noble earl in objecting to them. Earl GREY defended the fifth clause, which was essential to prevent an alien from being imprisoned for an indefinite period upon suspicion of being engaged in treasonable practices. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH petaisted in his objection to the clause added to the bill. The amendments were then agreed to. POORHOUSES (IRELAND) BILL. The Earl of DEVON moved the second reading of this bill. Lord MONTEAGLE gave notice that in the committee he should propose an amendment restraining the power of giving agricultural employment under the bill to young persons who might be in the workhouses. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE entirely concurred in the view taken by his noble friend. The government would be prepared to introduce a provioioa similar to that announced by hire. The object of the bill was to improve agricultural science, and to afford the young persons in workhouses op pertunities for learning. The Earl of DEVON concurred in the view taken by the noble lords on both aides of the house. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL was not quite sure whether it would not be desirable to give more land to the rorkhouns than to restrict its quantity. The bill was then read a second time. Their lordships adjourned at half-past 7. HOUSE OF COMMONS. -TUESDAY , MAT 16. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Mr. HENLEY asked whether, to accordance with the decided opinion expressed by the committee of the House of Lords, any inquiry has been instituted into the cost of the execution of the former contracts for conveying the mails from England to Alexandria ; into the manner in which the service has been performed ; and into the profits resulting to the contractors. By whom such inquiry has been made. Whether the government proposes, on the part of the pub• lic, to continue to pay the present heavy charyo for such oommunication. Whether, in any future contracts, the go vernment propose to adopt the suggestion of the committee of the Rouse of Lords, that the public shall be secured, by adequate provisions in the contracts, a participation in the profits, when they shall exceed a certain per tentage on the capital, access to the accounts, and a full knowledge of all the transactions of the several corn ?anies with which agree ments may be entered into. Whether any department of the government, and if any, which, will be responsible to parliament that the contracts about to be entered into 'hall bejoet and proper. Mr. WARD said that under those contracts the Admiralty had no power to institute any such inquiry. They could only do it with the concurrence of the contractors them selves. They had opened those contracts and relied upon that course as the best precaution for reducing the charge. Alter full consideration of the recommendations of the com mittee, the government did not consider it advisable to ap point an auditor or claim tho superintendence of the books, believing that a better check would be found in the opening of the contracts, giving the greatest publicity to their pro ceediogs, and always taking the lowest tender. or the proper conduct of that business the Admiralty would be Te -1 *passible. MAURITIUS.. Mr. HAWES (in reply to Lord 0. BeterlXCE) said there would be no objection whatever to the production of the me morial received within the feet day or two from the Mauri tius. It no doubt contradicted the statement he (Mr. Hawes) bad made on a former occasion ;but he ISOW repeated that, considering the commercial pressure which pealed. in that colony, the accounts received up to the 14th e,", bruary were more favourable than the govern:ma► had had reason to anticipate. JAMAICA. Mr. HAWES said (in reply to Mr 00•01.nutt1v) that the governnt , nt bad not yet received from Jamaica, and were obliged to the state of the island upon p• neral accounts.

His pro- P °ll4 .on was that these establishments had been endowed tar great national and religious objects; that they '.ad been invested with large property and extensive patronage and preferment, for the purposes of education, charity, and reigion; that for many ages they had answered those ends, but that now they did not. His proposition was, that wherever these venerable cath e dral establishments were seen to raise their heads ' there dissent would be found to be meet active tad rife.
