My lord, I hate an exes :Lilt subject to produce to you: one who took the dis.ase first of all in a mild form, but who now exhibits all its indications in their most nialignant type. Hem, my lord. is my subject. lie kind enough. Sir James Nl:glee-sou, Baronet, N1.1'., and patron of Ashbui ton, to step forward and show your self. I), , me the favour to uncover tour bosom, and kt my Lord John Russell and the other gentlemen observe the nature of the spots. This gentleman, my lord. is, or was, a partner in the eminent tivm ut Jardine. Matheson, and Co., known. not only in all the region round St. Paul's. bat in ad the regions of that inner flowery land" wish Clich oniv the most civilised barbarians are al k sod trade. It was in Ist I that the late leading pirtne v of this great firm of merchants, Mr. W. Jar dm. welt down to Ashburton, and by means of a sere latish expenditure of money succeeded in obtain leetion as member for the;borough. Nlriardine died in a'l3, when Mr. Nlatheson, who took upon him wlf all his partner's other habil it ie.. saw no reason why he sboaltl nut take with them the liabilities connected with this representation. The iuvestmeht Mr. Jardine had made had been a heavy one, and Mr. Nlatlicsou w e ll knew how to work on such a foundation. Holm: succeeded in obtaining the twat, Mr. Ma theson poets:did to e:•tat•lish his position. About a scar after his election he purchased the property of iir Law mum Palk within the borough, which, you will not doubt, was very effectually prrehusing the borough itself, when I tell you that from 1784 down to 1831, a period close upon Italia cen tury, that identical property secured a moiety of the representation of Ashburton, without the semblance or shadow of a contest. It is true that under the great excitement of the struggle for reform, unit in consequence of the antagonism of a rival interest, Sir lAwrcnce l'alk was thrown out at the general election of IMI, by a majority of 6 votes only. It is true al-u that, though tory candidates supported by Sir Lawrunc• Palk's interest, endeavoured to obtain the ascendancy in 1611 and in 1637, they were de feated, in the first ease by a majority of 8, and in the second case by a majority of 11. But what does this prove? Why, my lord, the iuflucnce which Sir Lawrence Palk's property would confer in the I l ia. of one more competent to wield it: the pecu liar value which it was to Sir James Matheson, the sittin4 member for the town, who in buying the pr. 15 purohased not only that which cemented his own influence, but that also, which, in the pro sent ed state of this borough, was the only p..ko.ible element of future opposition to him. Anil what was the first use Sir James Matheson matte of his authority? 110 was first elected fur Ashburton in 1843: he made his purchase in 1844; tic re was a general election in July, 1817. In the c.s.lest ps‘sible fas!.ion the new proprietor turned over the hor..ogh of Ashburton to his brother, a retired lieut.-v-lone! in the army, whom, I believe, not three of the electors knew to be even in existence. It may Is said they were at liberty to oppose him ! Yes, my lord. just as at the present moment the French people ale at liberty to oppose the President. The proplioor himself became the member for a Scotch county ono of the smallest, I believe, its Scotland. Year 4,r ship, "in consideratiut: of his great set vices, conferred on him in no time the dignity of a horn: t. Now. what can Sir James Matheson eity why Ash burton should not be dealt with as a rotten borough should be dealt with ? I will tell you, my lord, what lie will eay. Ile will plead, first of all—" This is a hard 1.4,e upon me ; I have invested my money here en what I thought was a good security." That will he hi, test plea. It was the boroughmongers cry in Pitt; and it is easily disposed of. But Sir James Math sot will plead, secondly—" You have encou ramd toe in this: remember how you have ap pluelet me in the House of Commons ; remember how many marks of femur you have shown me; re ram& r the baronetcy which you moved your sove reign to give me!" My lord, there may be force in this: hut it is for your lordship to answer it, not for me. /bit if your lordship does answer it, and answer it nnfavenrchly,l warn you there will still be something Ile I. !lien. A whisper will reach you in these word , . " Itenkni;ku—ire are Tunes." Yee, my lerd. that will he the mode in which you will be met. and it is that—whether the tone in which it is faun( fated convey a promise or a threat—it is that you must prepare to resist, and which you only cal mist by throwing yourself upon the My lord, Sir James !Matheson is a strong out sider. flat there are boroughs to be dealt with, vl.ieh will afford trouble to your Cabinet, from with in ns well as from without. You have, with an un fortunate precipitation, admitted to your councils one of the repnventatives of Torre -SP, the heir of the ducal h0u....f Somerset. Now, my lord, when we are speaking of horoughmongeeing and borough jobbing, MI anything, let me ask, be less creditable than the way in which fictitious votes have been mad., with • view to swamp and overhear the independent part of the electorate of Totness? Your kinship, I hope, is cognisant of the circtun- ' "mires. The boundsry of the borough of Totness umbel s • considerable quantity of land, which is qr property of his Grace the Duke of Somerset. This l an d has been divided into small holdings ; and in feel, small holding there has been erected a "1. an...," or linney," as it is designated in those Parts. which is, in fact, a cow-shed, with a make bele re Chimn e y on it. For this " linney" and the & 1.1 in which it is placed, an individual. of course un 11;. Grace's interest, obtains place on the register of t'n.rs as occupying " house and land" of the value of I'd. tenon,. To such an extent has this been car ri(ll.? hat Mr. Harry Baldwin, th e other sitting m e mber . the borough, absolutely purchased a property on the other sine of the town, to convert into " lin• ▪ in order to maintain his influence. My lord, I want to know what your lordship's colleague in fee ',Janet, and his colleague in the reprisentetioo ' et torn's.% can have to urge against any measure that will put an end to these abases?

TA strife is excited (of which this town is a uotable example), and the right of returning representatives l for the borough becomes no longer reseed in tho people, but in the vote manufacturers who, in the balance of parties, are best able to turn the scale. Observe, my lord, the polls for this borough of Totness since the year 1839, and picture to yourself what must be the state of a town with so limited an elect Orate, .ind in which there is so considerable a proportion of fictitious qualifications. The first time this system came into play was in 1839, when there was a contest between the nuke of Somerset's son-in law and Mr. Burry Baldwin, which resulted in a dead heat. The numliers on the occasion were : Ycr C. liner IlJJwis, 6 , .. (t0 r 7) For William Blount, Em kw big) That election being void, there was another in April, 1810. The poll was na follows: For C. liarry Baldwin, E.g. (tnry) For T. limy tiiaborne, Rm. (whig) At the last contest, in 1817, the numbers were : For t!. Barry Baldwin, lhq. (tory) For Nampo= Iticanlo, Way. (tang) Eight years, therefore, have made scarcely any dif ference in the state of things in Totness. The times have changed, but the voters have not changed with them. Governments have changtil ; the state of parties has undergone the greatest alteration ; but the " linney voters" are the same. Intik again, shat can the authors and abettors of this system say why your lordship should not step in to reform it altogether ? My lord, if there is a whisper of dis satisfaction in your cabinet from the son of a duke who thinks you inclined to go too far, tell him that you know the circumstances of Totness, and let hint re cover his confusion as he may. In proposing in 1812 a largo extension of the franchise, you doubtless hoped and expected to create an independent body of electors. It was a laudable aspiration; an expectation that deserved to be grati fied. There could be no higher obj Act of ambition to a statesman than that his Haute should bo associated with a measure which had purified the representation of his nation, and secured the electoratal freedom of his fellow-countrymen. free state can exhibit no spectacle more honourable than that of a citizen, erect in the consciousness of independence and integrity of motile, walking to the poll to give an unbiassed suffrage as the result of his political con viction. Could you here seen the pol Eng booths of England filled with such constituents, how glorious to you would have been the mflecaott that you had successfully laboured to enfranchise them. Turn from what might have been to the painful reality. See your county yeomanry abjectly marshalling thentsches under the leadership of the landlord's rent-collector. See your townsfolk debauched stud corrupted by the base election agents to whom your bill has given birth. Mark the crouching faggot voter brought up to pay, by a vote against his conscience, the rent of the " honey" he has been permitted to hold, and for which he was unwittingly registered a voter. Look at Mr. Attwood's debtors coming to pay their pound of flesh, the money-lending boroughmonger waving over them their notes of hand, as the banner of their independence. Observe the humble shopkeeper trembling lest the act one customer has driven him to perform, may lose him the advantage of another customer he is little less anxious to eoneuiate. here is a drunken man, who his saweely power left him to ejaculate the name of the candidate whose beer he has consumed :—Yonder iv a bribed voter, trying to shirk the administration of the oath, or saving his conscience by kissing his dirty thumb instead of the cover of the Bible. My lord, these are faint outlines of scenes which otter at every election; and for these scenes sour partial measure of reform is, to a great extent, responsible. (To be continued.] CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD THI MURDER IN MAL Yu. Bazo• Pr Irr. _ .—.----. Thomas hart, 43, pipe-maker, was indicted for the wilful murder of Louie' Bare, his wife, by stabbing her. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ballaritise. The learned counsel for the prosecution, having briefly opened the ease, the following evidence was adduced: Fanny Nutt said—The deceased woman was my daughter. She was the wife of the prisoner. They had been married nearly twenty years at the time of her death. A short time before the death of my daughter I was living at a place called V ineyard.ganlens, and my daughter used to come there. One day while I was living at this place, the pri soner came to my hones . I knew at the time that my daughter was not .iving with the prisoner. He asked mu after hi, little boy, and also if I knew when his wife was. I would not tell him; and he said he would be revenged—ho would do something to some one, but he would not say who. By Mr. Ballantine.-1 am sure the prisoner said he would be rev. toted; and I told him in reply that vengeance be longed to the Lord. This is the fint time l ever made this statement. Sarah Abrahams said—l live at Nu. 5, Brook's-gardens, Bagnigge-wells. I know a woman named lianas. In Oct. she was lodging at my house, and the deceased cams and stopped with her. She was called Mrs. Bare. The de ceased and Mrs. Hands left my house together about a fortnight before I heard of her death, and my boy carried away two boxes that belouged to Mrs. Bare. After the deceased had left the prisoner came to my house and inquired for her. He asked me if I had a little, short woman lodging with me and I told him that I had such a person, meaning Mrs. Hands, and also Mrs. Bare, who answered the description. He then said that Mrs. Bare was his wife. The prisontr nest asked mo about some boxes, which he said belonged to him, and I told him that everything had been taken away. Ile left my house soon afterward', and came again almost every day and wished to know when his wife was gone, and 1 told him I did not know. On Saturday even ing, the Bth November, hr came again, and I told him I was going to send my little boy to when Mrs. Hands was, and he might go and see if his wife was there. The day before th, the prisoner told me he was afraid his wife was going on badly, and, sooner than see her in the emaciated state his daughter was in, he would die at Newgste. The prisoner went away with my son, about a quarter-pest six in the evening. By Mr. Ballantine--The prisoner's daughter is now in attendance, outside the court. Edward Braxton said—l am the son of the last witness. I took two boxes for the demised train my mother's house to a place in Marylebone, and I afterwards accompanied the prisoner to the mme house. We did not get there until nearly seven o'clock. The prisoner had drink at three public, houses as we went along. Before we wont into the house be told me that we were to bring the boxes away. I welted in the parlour with the prisoner, and is • short time the deceased came in, and I heard the landlord of the house my to the prisoner, "That's bey ; don't kick up any disturbance at eh." The deceased did sot see the prisoner, and she proceeded ap stairs, sad the prisoner took a candle and followed her immediately. After he had been gone a short time he called tome to fetch the boxes, and I went up and found the prisoner and his wife talking together, but I could not hear what they said. The prisoner said to me, pointing to a hos," Here, a.) • ~, take this down stairs." I took vp the box, and went diem stain. As I was leaving the room I heard the deceased sereamitig, and the prisoner was hitting ker. I told him not to beat his wile, and he turned to me and said, " Trouble your head with your own business." Ile struck her the eor four time* before I left the room. lie hit her about the body, sad struck her downwarde. I did not see that he had anything in his hand. As I was going down stain, I heard the deceased scream "murder." I put the,box down in the parlour, and then went up stairs again to fetch the other box. I met the prisoner on the stain, and he told me to fetch the yellow box down, and he said he would carry it away. When I went into the room the prieoner's wife was lying down by the doe-place. I did not hear her groan or make any sound, but 1 saw that there was blond upon her face. I carried the box down, as I had been told, and found that the prisoner was gone. I went out to look for him, and found bins in the street, and I observed bleed on hie right hand. I told him to come back, foe he bad killed his wife. Ile said he had not. I repeated that he had ; and be said, if I have, du you tell the police man. I then called • policeman, and the prisoner was taken into ettetoily. I never sew the deceased strike the primmer. By Mr. Ballantine—The prisoner and hie wife did not appear to he quarrelling when I first went into the room. I heard the prisoner say something about • man named Thompson having been intimate with his wife. The de ceased was very angry at the boxes being taken away. I did ant see anything in the prisoner's hand while he was striking his wife If the primmer hail had anything in his band I think I must have seen it ; but he struck the Wows as though he was is the act of stabbing. I did not hear the deceased scream " murder" until after I left the room. By the Corwt—They "poured to be friendly when I first went into the room. If the deceased had struck the prime ner, I must have seen it. tieerge O. Manning said—l keep the house No. 33, North-street, Mary ebene. I knew the deceased by the name of Nutt. On the night of the Bth November, the prisoner came to the house accompanied by the last witness, and he asked if Mrs. Bare was at home. I told him I knew no such person, and I mentioned the names of toy lodgers, avid raid there was a Miss Nott ; and he said that was his wifo's maiden name, and he went on to say that there was property of his in my house, and my daugh ter had induced his wife to come and live in my house. I told him this was not true. The prisoner then said he would burst open every door in the house if he did not get his property, and he said it was in two boxes. I told him I would assist him to get his property if it was there, and that Miss Nott would be in at 8 o'clock. She was so very regular that I could depend upon her. I asked the prisoner to walk into the parlour, and we sit there for a long time, and the prisoner made use of very bad language towards his wife, and said that she and the other one, meaning Mrs. Bands, were no better ti.an common prostitutes. 1 told him I hoped to the contrary; that I had not seen anything wrong, and did not believe there was anything wrong in their conduct. The deceased came home shout nine o'clock, and immedi ately went up stairs. I told the prisoner, as she tame in, that she was the woman he wanted to see, and gave him a lighted canape, and he followed her up stairs, and I went out to fetch a policeman, as I expected some disturbance. %Viten I returned home I found the deceased in her own room, dead. By Mr. Ballantine.—The prisoner wanted to get the boxes before his wife came home, and if I would have• per mitteil him I believe he would have broken op e n the door and taken them away. Rebecca Maiming, wife of the list witness, proved that after the prisoner went into his wife's room she heard them talking together, but could not distinguish what was said. They appeared to be talking quietly. In a short time the prisoner called the boy upstairs and told him totake the boxes down. All had been quiet up vi that time; but immediately after the hoy was told to take the boats down, witness heard v iolent screaming, and something fall heavily to the ground, apparently like the table ur chairs, in the deceased's room. The screaming did not continue more than two minutia, and when it ceased the prisoner came dome down stairs and as he passed her in the moulage she observed that his hands were covered with blood. Witness immediately went up stairs, and found the deceased upon the ground, leaning Oil r a chair close by the fire-place. Iler hair was all about her face loose, and her eyes were wide open, and one of her hnild. was tightly clenched There was a wound upon her face, from which the blood was &wing. Iles bonnet was tinier the grate. She threw her head back, and there was a noise in her throat, and she died. By Mr. Ballantine —Witness never went into the de ceased's room. By the Court—A man named Thompson called upon the deceased on the Sunday after she tame to lodge with her. She believed that Mrs. (lands was at home at this time. Selina Beckett deposed that she lodged in the adjoining room to the ono occupied by the deceased and Mrs. Honda On the night this occurred witness was in her room, and heard the prisoner and his wife go into the back room. The door was closed when they went in, and she immediately heard loud quarreling, and the prisoner called deceased a --. The prisoner before this had said that he wished to take away the hones, and he accussd his wife of having been at a low public-house with some low prostitutes. The deceased replied, " Su help me tied, I wins not there." The prisoner then said he would not go out of the house with out the boxes, and the deceased told him if he would sit down she would explain everything to him. Wit ness was frightened at what was going on, and ran down stairs to tell the landlady, and when she returned to her own room, she heard the deceased screaming " Murder." Witness looked out of her room, and saw the deceased's room door was open. The boy wee in the act of coining out with one of the boxes, and she saw the prisoner and the deceased standing by the window, fighting, and the prisoner struck the deceased several heavy blows. They both fell down together. mud the deceased appeared to be holding the prisoner. She did not see the deceased strike a blow or attempt to do so. All she could see of the pri soner's hand was his clenched fist, and she was unable to distinguish whether there was anything in his hand or not. The prisoner struck downwards, as though he was stabbing, and the demised screamed " Murder " every time he struck her. Witness requested the boy to inter fere, but he said he should not do so, and that It served the woman "Jolly well right." The deceased attempted to get up at one time, and the prisoner struck her tour or five heavy blows on the head end face. Not a word was said by either of them while this was going on. The prisoner witness as he went out of the house, but the was too ri a gl e t . t l ened to observe whether he had anything in his hand or not. She saw the deceased on the ground, and the room was covered with blood. About ten minutes afterwards she heard that the deceased was dead. By Mr. Ballantme—She hiard the prisoner any to the deceased, " I want nothing of you but my boxes, and, so help me God, I wont leave the house till I get them." She did not believe that she told the coroner what the boy said when she asked him to go to the auistanoe of the deceased. The boy Blaxton was here re-called, and he said that, to his recollection, he never made use of the espresnons attri buted to him by the last witness. lie afterwards positively stated that he did not do so. Baron Platt asked him why he did not interfere when he saw the mac beating his wife ? The boy replied innocently " What could I do ?" In answer to another question by the court, he said he was eighteen years old. Ile also said that he smoked and drank at several public houses with the prisoner on the night in question. Emma Webster, another lodger in the house where the deceased lived, save evidence of a similar character to that of the witness Beckett. She also said that she heard the deceased say " So help me God I have not done it," and about a mantel after the screaming began. The last words she heard the deceased utter were " Oh, he has mut , dcred me." Mary Robinson deposed that she was acquainted with the prisoner and his late wife, and after she left him he repeatedly inquired respecting her. About a fortnight be fore witness heard of the death of the deceased, the pri soner came to her house and asked her if she knew where , his wife was. She told him she did riot, and he then said that his wife was in the country, nursing au old lady, a hundred miles off; and he added, that he did not mind tramping a hundred miles to have revenge, for revenge was sweet. Witness asked him why he thought wrong of his wife, and if he had ever seen her do anything wrung; and he replisd that he had seen her making up some finery which he thought only fit for • loose wornwomw in the street. He then said he had never found anything wrong of her, and had always found her act justly from the moment he first saw her untill she left him. In the course of the same conversation the prisoner said that if he could lay his hand upon his wife she would not forget It. Rebecca Linehaus proved that shortly before the death of the deceased, a man whom she believed to bo the prisoner, purchased a file at her husband's shop. He first purchased a fiat file, but on the same day he changed the fiat one for a triangular file. The the with which the dreadful art was committed was here produced, and the witness said it was of the same description u the one she sold to the man, but she could not identify it further. By Mr. Rallantine.—This first file the man purchased was not sharpened at the top. If the prisoner was not the man who purchased the file, she was very much deceived, and she would never attempt to recognise any one ag sin. The examination of ono or two more witnesses closed the case for the prosecution. The court then adjourned, and had not resumed when wo went to prow. MURDER IN SHADWELL—Tms DAY. THAMES POLICE-COURT. This afternoon at ono o'clock, Jose Frotoee Ben dingo, a Spaniels !seaman, belonging to the ship White Sqaall, was charged with feloniously stabbing James Almon, on English seaman, who has since died of the wound. This morning, at two o'clock, the parties were in a low house in New Oravel•lane, Shadwell. Another Spanish sailor was there. The deceascd,Almon, was invited by one of the Spaniards to partake of some boor, which ho re fused to do. Some words ensued, and the Spaniards drew their knives. The prisoner plunged his knife into the lower part of the Englishman's abdomen, and he fell mortally wounded. The screams of the women brought immediate assistance, and the prisoner Iris secured and given into the custody of Lane, 397 K, who conveyed him to the station-house in King David-lanc.The wounded man was also conveyed to the same place on a stretcher, and Mr. nom, surgeon, of High-street, Shadwell, was in immediate attendance. Serjcant Squire, No. It K, naked Almon if he knew the man who wounded him, and he pointed to the prisoner, and said that is the man who stabbed me with a knife. Mr. ROW then advised that the wounded man should be taken to the London Hospital, which was done. On the Spaniard being placed at the bar, Sergeant Squire said the patient could not live many hours, and that the surgeons of the hospital had requested that the deposition of the poor fellow might ho taken as soon as possible. Mr. Ingham directed that the prisoner should be at once conveyed to the London Hospital, in custody, where Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, soon afterwards arrived. The patient, a remarkably fine athletic man, was sinking ' test. Ile made his declaration, that the prisocec who was brought to his bedside, had stabbed him ; and he soon afterwards expired. The prisoner was then taken back to the police-court and remanded.—llis companion, who a'.so drew his knife, escaped. The police are in active math of RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLoex.

The uncertainty which prevails as to the ultimate solution of the ministerial difficulty again gave oc casion to a slight decline in thq English stock market at the commencement of business this morning, speculators being unwilling to operate till more light is thrown upon the political combinations understood to be in progress. With the appearance, however, of the government broker as a purchaser on a somewhat larger scale than usual, a slight stimulus was given to prices, which are now quoted the same as they left off yesterday afternoon. Consols opened 961 to 97, and have since rallied to 97 to 1 cx div., both for money and the 18th. Tho government broker invested in this stock at 97, and in Reduced Threes at 97/, the operations being on account of both the Sinking Fund and the Savings Banks. The official business report includes: Throe per Cent. Consols, 97, 1, ex div.; ditto for account, 97, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 97./ 0 New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 981, 1, I. Long Annuities, 1860, 7, 1-16; ditto 30 years, 1860, 6 13-18. Bank Stock, 216. The inquiry for Exchequer Bills noticed of late is not observable to-day, and the quotation remains stationary, at 38s. to Ols. prem., at which range there do not appear to have been any purchases made up to the present hour. India Bonds rule at 695. to 72e. prem. ' with little doing. Several descriptions of foreign storks are in good demand to-day, opinion running more strongly in favour of Spanish and Sardinian, both of which exhibit a further considerable advance. Dutch stocks have also been in request for investment at higher prices. Generally this department wears an improved appearance, a much larger degree of speculative at tention having become directed to it, besides the sup port afforded by the demand for investment in the preferable descriptions, arising from the abun dance of money. 'I ho sales recorded comprise : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 93. Danish flow per Cents., 182.5, 771. Dutch Two-and-a-lfalf per Cents., 60, 594 cx div.; ditto Four per Cent.

The Commissioners for the Reduction of the Na tional Debt have issued their usual quarterly notice, to the effect that, in consequence of the revenue of the United Kingdom, for the year coding the 10th October last, having exceeded the expenditure by the sum of 2,979,011/. lls. Gd., the following amount, being one-fourth of the surplus, will be applied to the purchase of stock, between the 7th of January and the sth of April next, viz.:— To be applied to the purchase of stock .... £714,752 17 10 Add interest, receivable on account of • donations and bequests, to be applied to the purchase of stock 3,877 11 10 Total £748,630 9 8 The amounts appropriated to this purpose for the last two years are as tallow :- 18j0 Jun. 7 L306,748 April 4 July 11 October 11 861,828 Totally 1850 £2,333,264 1851 Jan. 7 . , £885,768 April 4 July 7 73.5,363 October 11 758,196 Total 1, 1831 £11,001,048 1852 Jan 7 £748,630 9 8 These investments arc entirely confined to the Three per Cent. Stocks, and as they are carried on with the utmost regularity, every public transfer day, the effect upon prices is often very evident, so large l an amount of the money stock afloat in the market being gradually absorbed. Business in Bank Shares this week has been mo derate, but for many stocks ready sellers cannot be found, and price* are consequently very firm. The result of the Colonial Bank meeting has given satis faction, and tho shares arc better. The sales re- ported comprise: Australasia, (401. paid) 391, 1, 39, ; Colonial (231. paid), 10(, 11, 111; London and Westminster (201. paid), 291, 1; National Provincial of England (35/. paid), 41 ex die. ' • Oriental Bask Corporation (25!. paid), 30; South Australia (251. paid), 33; Union of London (10!. paid), 151, 1, 1. In steamboat shares (with the exception of the fall in the Royal Mail Company's, consequent on the loss of the Amazon, as noticed yesterday) there is not much change, but Peninsular and. Oriental share' command a fair amount of favour. They have been dealt iu at 72, 71, and ill ex dividend and bonus; ditto, new (101. paid), 18, 171. General Steam Navigation, 28, 27. 4 , 4. The full particulars of the loss of the Amazon ' and the attendant frightful sacri fi ce of life, have been perused this morning with painful interest. The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company have promptly baited a notice that the Avon will be despatched from Southampton as an extra packet for the West Indies and Chagres on Sunday morning next. Insurance shares meet with an increased inquiry, and Globe, Equity and Law, and Indemnity Marine show a rise. The descriptions in which any change is to be noted this week are :—Alliance, Bntish and Foreign, 211 ; British Commercial, 71; Equity and i Law, 41; Globe, 1331, 1341. with the dividend for I the opening of the transfer books. Indemnity Ma rine, 40.

'the total value of the exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures for the month was 5,188,216!., being a decrease of 174,1031. on the previous year, and an increase of 4,97,0351. as com pared with the same month of 1819. The figures for the eleven months stand at 63,31 1,2721., against 60,400,325/. in 1830, and 5.1,089,809/. in the eleven months of 1849. The month's tables of import and consumption show an increase in coffee, a decrease in corn, an increase in cattle and provisons, a slight increase in brandy, and an increase in rum, a considerable increase in sugar, and a large increase in tea. 'rho results presented are of a highly . satisfactory character, 03 proving the a c ti v ity of bus iness and the increasing consumption of ar ticles of necessity and comfort among the population generally.

THE LATE LIEUT.-COLONEL FORDYCE, 74TTI II lONLANDMIS. —Yesterday the particulars of the death of this able officer were given in the Cape news published by us. We now add the dates of his several commissions in the service. His first commission uan ensign in the 34th Regiment was dated in 1828. He served with that corps (then in Nova Scotia) until 1832, when he obtained an un attached lieutenancy. The same year, however, he re turned to full pay, first in the 94th and soon after in the 21st. He nerved with the 21st North British Fusi liers until 1836, when he obtained his company in the 3:ith Regiment, from which he exchanged to the 11th Foot in 18:19. Having in 1844 ob tained his step as major in the latter regiment he ex changed the same year into the 71th Highlanders. In 1346 he became lieutenant-colonel and commanding officer of this regiment, in which important position he gained the esteem of the military authorities and the affection _,, - k ._ who served under hint.
