Other appearances discourage the expectation of so large a Crop as was anticipated. Trade is dull, with literally nothing doing. WOOL.—FORT-WILLIAM. —Flom 4,000 to 5,000 stones of black-faced Wool were sold, at from 4L to 4s. 6d. per stone. Other small lots went at even a lower figure. We Lave heard of a few sales of Cheviot Wool throughout .he Highlands since the date of our fair, but none at higher pieta than then prevailed.

The number of Sheep and Lambs is about an average; the demand for best qualities has increased, but prices have not advanced much. Ewes and middling Sheep are very un saleable. There are eosin a great many Cole*. on offer, trade for them is very dull, at lower rates. From Holland we have 201 Beasts, 1,580 Sheep, and 406 Calves ; 54 Beasts from Portugal ; 8 trona Spain ; 15 from France; 300 from Scotland; and 142 milch Cows from the Home Counties.

BETTORD LAMB FAlL—This recently-established fair, and whien Teed', increases in importance, was held on the usual plan on Thursday, the 27th ult., and as its original promoters intended that it should be principally for the sale of Lambs, we msy observe that a large quantity was penned, and, there being plenty of buyers present, a tolerably brisk sale took place, at prices varying from 20s. to 245. per head, at which moat of those offered were disposed of. A moderate sprinkling of fat Cattle was also exhibited, and these realised from 6s. 9d. to 71. per stone. The show of fat Sheep was not large, hut there were several lots of prime quality exhibited, and these obtained from 35e. to 425. per head. A fair clearance of all these was ultirmely made. The show of Norms was extremely meagre, and these not of first-rat, et even of middling qualities, and those sold realised prices 1* proportion.

On the subject of colonisation he entirely concurred with the observations of the noble and learned lord.

He hoped measures would be taken to secure the prime movers in these insurrectionary . transactions, for, should they escape and emigrate to Ameriea—though he knew that the whole body of the sound population of the United States were favourable to this conwry, and were anxious for its internal peace, as was evinced by the rejoicings at New York at the failure of the attempt of April' last to create disturb ances in London—he feared there might be such a move ment amongst a small portion of the people of that country, as might give a hops to the disaffected in Ireland that they might receive aid from that quarter.

Agreed to. STATE OF IRELAND. Lord BROUGHAM rose to move for copies of the several recent proclamations issued by the Lord Lieutenant of Ire land. and although he hoped the insurrection was put down, at the close of the session he wished to offer a few observe -ions on the elate of Ireland. The late outrage on the public puce, dictated by the wicked feeling of the leaders V the misguided people, and by vanity on the part of others -this detestable attempt at insurrection-had no doubt reached its end for the present, and the vigorous authorities of that country would prevent its breaking out again for • short season. If anything could give him more confidence than another that such would be the case, it was the ap pointment of Lord Mucilage al commander of the forces in that country. He had shown, by undertaking such duties alter the laurels he had won, that he was not consulting his personal vanity, glory, er ambition, for he might have been well content to have enjoyed the repose which he was about to take when he entered on this second command. He bed, however, followed the example of the noble duke near him (the Duke of Wellington) in never looking to the right or lortt when he had • duty to perform for his country. (Hear, hear.)

Clause 1 being proposed, Lord G. BENTINCK said that he considered the pro posed duty of 15s. 2d on wt its cloyed sugars was altogether inconsistent with the principles on which the government had framed their other duties, and calculated to operate pre judicially upon inferior sugars. He sh nild, therefore, move as an amendment that the duty on these sugars should be— in the first year, 14e. 62. • in the second, 13e. 4d. ; in the third, 12s 3d. ; end in the fourth, i Is. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER supported the schedule. After a few words from Mr. Gotteouti, The committee divided—For the amendment 29 Against it Lord G. BENTINCK then proceeded to complein that the whole ol these duties had le en so carelessly, or, at all events, so incongruously, framed, that in one schedule there were no fewer than six blunders. The hon. member for Westbury shook his head, but the hon. member fur Westbury had shaken his head just as much when a former blunder was pointed out, • blunder whico, even when admitted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the hon. member had taken a week to comprehend. (Hear, hear.) If the Chancellor of the Exchequer proceeded in his esku latierui open ordinary principles be had made six blunders ; for if one datum was to be followed, that datum being a medium between foreign musouvadoes and brown-Bayed, the duties in this schedule for the year 1848 9, invead of 17s. should be 16s. ed. ; forth.. year 1849.50 instead of 15s. Bel., 15s. 3d. ; for the year 1850-51 instead of 14s. 4d., 14s. ; for the year 1851-2 instead of 135., 12s. W. ; for the pear 1142 3 instead of 121. 5d , 12s. 3d ; for the year 1853-4 instead of lls. 10d , 111. 6d. He should much like to know how these blunder* had occurred. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER simply remarked, in reply, that it the noble lord would test his ce eulations by the rule of three he would find them quite erroneous. (Laughter.) The several schedules haying been meted to, Lord G. BENTINCK moved the resteration of slaw* 6, of the act 9 & 10 Vic., c. 63, rip. : And be it enacted, that no sugar shall be admissible to ertry tor home consumption at the Feld rates of duty as being the growth and produce of any forelegs ntry, unless the matter of the ship import ing the wont, chat pro to the Will/al. of the adores of her ats iesty's Customs at the port of imported - n, if required to do tut, that meth vulgar ix beefier the growth and produce of the foreign euuntry from which it is imported. His object was to protect the refiners of this country from the refined sugar of the continent, and to protect the ware- housemen of this country from the system of warehousing sugar in Antwerp, Amsterdam, and Hamburg. Mr. W I LSON opposed the clause, and after a few words from Mr. Baughr, The oommittee divided—For the clause Against it Lord 0. BENTINCK the* mooed another clause, making it lawful for persons engaged in refining sugar in bond for exportation, under the 3 & 4 Wiliam IV. and 8 & 9 Victoria, cap. 91, to enter the same fur home consump tion under certain regulations. The CIi•NCELLO• of the EXcligilltlEtt opposed the clause ; and after a few words hom Mr. THollerioN, Mr. BettlLY, Mr.Wasole, Mr. B. Surto, Mr. Itattut, and Mr. Renter, The committee divided—For the amendment 41 Against it .... . 73-32 The amendment was consequen t ly lo s t. The remaining resolutions having been agreed to, the house resumed, the bill was reported with amendments, and the report was ordered to be received to .morrow (this day) at 12 o'clock. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. On the moti , 11 that the house resolve itself into committe on the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill, Col. SIBTH.ORP objected to this measure in foto. It would be impossible to carry it through during the present session without great injustice to so many bon. members who were elsewhere engaged in the discharge of various public duties. Ile put it to the noble lord whether it was fair, in the present state of the house and of the session, to pro ceed with • measure of such vital importance. Lord J. RUSSELL said lie had thought it had been un derstood on the last evening that there should be no discus sion on the resumption of the committee on this bill, he therefore should not 'slier upon any debate. All he could say was, early in the session he hod been blamed by one. half the house for not bringing forward eome such forsmeaure, and it seemed he was now blamed by the other half pro cei ding with the bill. After • few words from Mr C. A/OMIT, Sir H. HALFORD said that LA the house was about to legislate for the prevention of corrupt prac tices at elections, he thought some care ought to be taken to provide against the improper use of go vernment patronage fur election purposes, The house would understand what he meant from a short statement of facts. It would be remembered that the two late sitting members for the borough of Leicester had been unseated on the ground of having, by their agents, been guilty of bribery. The facts were these: on the sth of July last a mail coach which went through Leicestershire was discontinued, and a walking messenger was substituted to carry the mail. The parties interested unanimously expressed • wish to the post effice inspector who had been sent down to make the arrange ments that a particular person in whom they had confidence at ould be appointed to the post. The answer returned was by a letter from the private secretary of the Postmaster. General, which stated that the appointment had been placed at the disposal of Mr. Gardner, the member for L eicester. Now, at this time, and for three weeks before, Mr. Gardner had ceased to be member for that borough. Now he did not quertioa the right of the government to dispose of its patronage as it might think fit, neither did he speculate why the county members should be in disgrace, but he must say that many residents in the county of Lei cester felt indignant that the appointment should Lave been placed in the hands of Mr. Gardner, a gentleman who had no connexia with the county, and was only known in the borough from the last election. Of course, when Mr. Gard ner received the appointment le applied to fill it up to the very . persons who had carried his election by bribery. In justice both to the government and the house, ,he felt bound to make this satement of facts. After a few words from Mr. URQUHART, Mr. BAGOE thought some answer ought to be given by the government to the statement made by his hon. friend and colleague. Lord J. RUSSELL replied that he had not heard any thing of the circumstances just mentioned, and perhaps the hon. member would repeat the question when some member of the government connected with tho Post-office was present. After a few words from Mr. ELLtoT, Sir H. HALFORD, and Mr. NLWDEOATII, the cmversation dropped, and the house went into committee. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Bernal) stated the motion before the committee was that the words " such inquiry . and investigation to be made on the spot by the commissioners to be appointed under this act " at the end of clause 2, be struck out. Sir. C. ANSTEY supported the amendment for the omission of the words read by the chairman. He should vom for the omission of the words, and he should also feel it to be hie duty to op,.ose the measure in every stage, in doing which be should endeavou r to com p el the noble lord to elect between the present bill and theae measures that hs had stated it to be essential should be passed during the pre sent session. Mr. HODGSON should offer all the opposition in his power to the bill. Mr. SPOONER said that not one single word had been offered by the government in explanation of the bill, and when any hon. member got up to argue against it the oppo site side deserted their benches. He had hitherto supported the measure, but from the conduct A the government hill bad reason to believe he had justly incurred the obloquy and censure of his honoured° and gallant friend, as there was an evident want of sincerity on the part of the noble lord. The bill would entail great expense, and one which would be quite useless, by the e mployment of barristers as commissioners, for it would be necessary to have counsel on both shies. It was, therefore, far better to leave the matter in the beads of the present tribunals. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL intreated hon. gentlemen net to enter into discussions not affecting the deuce under consideration, as that would only promote the object openly avowed by the hon. and learned member for Youghal, that, namely, of defeating the bill by delay. The present clause, bad already undergone a discussion of three or four hours, and the chief evil attendant upon adjourning the considers. tion of particular clauses appeared to him to be that hon. members forgot what had been said during former discos 'ions. He hoped the house would permit a division to be speedily come to, and thought such division would be ee °lt'd as final with respect to the appointment of coo missioners. Mr. HENLEY thought that the question of Poet-oats patronage which had been incidentally touched upon. wee one of great importance, as in his opinion goverment patronage was one of the sources of corruption which the ob ject of the bill was to put down. He did not think tie decision of the committee upon the present clause ought * have any effect upon the other parts of the bill. Mr. MULLINGS supported the amendment, and seem• mended that the whole subject should be postponed until' the next session. After a short conversation, The committee divided—For the amendment l6 Agsinst it After a few observations from Col. SIBTIIOIP the clause was agreed to. On clause 3 Mr. ANSTEY complained that sufficient facilities were not given for any borough reported against to defend itself frODI c lay and protested against oonstitnessies being taken nkrpriss. He would move that the Week la the clause be wed up with the words " not more them 21 nor less than 14 days." lfir..l. STE WART suggested that some notice should be given to the authorities of • borough when a committee of inquiry was appciated. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL recommended that the minimum of the notice should be seven days. Sir R. PEEL thought the proposal of the hon. member for Youghal a fair one, and, as a friend to the measure, he would recommend the hon. and learned gentleman to adopt it. In every such ease, care ought to be taken that the par ties bad sufficient notice. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL consented to adopt the words " not more than 21 days, nor less than 14 days ;" and they were inserted in the clause. Mr. HENLEY pointed out discrepancies between the duties assigned to "committees," and those assigned to " commissioners," which clearly ought to be the same. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL admitted that this was the Me, and promised that the two provisions should be made to agree with each other. Mr. ANSTEY thought the commissioners ought only to have the power of collecting evidence, and reporting the same to the Ouse. Mr. J. STEWART objected to the bill, because it made the commissi o n e rs both proucut ire and judges, a principle which was abhorrent to the constitution. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the duty of the committee would be to make iuquiry and report their can clueion thereueon to the house. The house would then de cide what course to pursue. Mr. HENLEY thought the more they proceeded into the bill the more confused they got. (Rea, hear.) Mr. ANSTEY objected to the co mmittee reporting their conelusione to the house. Lord J. RUSSELL said that in certain cases an election committee might now report to the house, that further in quiry into cases of bribery was n‘cessary, and the Speaker therefore nominated a committee. Mr. STUART could not but think that commissioners, who were to hold a court for the purpose of prosecuting in quiries affecting the rights aed characters of individuals, were exercising functions essentially judicial. But if their functions weru not judicial , the application of the same words to them and to the committee,whose functions were judicial, would lead tO crest confusion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained. Col. SIBTHORP, however, interrupted him to observe that they were really wasting time. He advised the Soli eitor-General to go home and study the bill, and come down hereafter better reformed upon it. They appeared to be a set of inc impeteat bunglers altogether ; never were such a lot bundled up together. (Laughter.) Mr. HUDSON asked what the government meant to do provided a body of electors in any particular borough were found guilty of corrupt practices ? lie wished the Solicitor- General would make a return to the house of election expen diture. He did not mean at Devonport, because he knew that Devonport was a nomination borough of the govern ment, and that the right hon. gentleman was returned for it, not on account of any merits of his own, but because the government wished him to be elected for it. The right hon. gentleman was a very great man, no doubt, and had a very cavalier way of treating members. (Here there were very loud groans and cries of " Oh l" proceeding from both sides of the house.) He had no objection to wait until gentlemen had done crying "Oh." lie knew bow to deal with popular assemblies. (Oh.) He had always overcome opposition in them by patience and perseverance. (Oh.) lie repeated this hil did not go far enough, and be thought it would do no good. Lord J. RUSSELL, u to the course they had pur sued upon this bill, wished to observe that when the go vernment, at the desire of the house, bad taken it in charge, they could never have conceived that such personal attacks would be made upon his bon. end learned friend as that to which he had been just exposed. (Loud cre'a of " Hear, bear.") lie hoped the house would not countenance such a method of discussing the measure. (Renewed cries of " Hear, hero.") Mr. R. PALMER wished, as a member of the profession which was adorned by the hon. and learned gentleman, to express his deep regret that any such personal attack should be made upon him. He hoped the hon. gentleman (Mr. Hudson), having had time for se Section, would feel that he ought not to have made that attack—(" No," from Mr. Hudson) —but if he did not he was sure there was not another member in the house who felt with him. (Loud cheering.) In his opinion the Solicitor-General added lustre to his pro fession and to that assembly. (Renewed cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then put the question. Mr. ANSTEY rose amid general groaning, and said he objected to the word " and" in this clause. (Loudlaughter and deep groans.) The hon. member, amid much interrup tion, persisted in addressing the house !or some time in sup port of the objection. Mr. HODGSON said the hen. member appeared to he so much interrupted that he thought it his duty to move that the chairman report progress. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but none took place, and on re-entering the gallery we found Mr. BRIGHT appealing to the hon. and learned member for Youghal to consider whether in the course he was pur suing he might not be laying himself open to the imputation of factiousness. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ANSTEY repudiated the 'suggestion of fectiousness as applied to his conduct, and proceeded to move an amend ment to the effect that the proposed commissioners should not have power to decide upon any of the cases which had been already adjudicated upon by regularly constituted tri bunals of the house, but should be merely empowered to re port evidence to the house. The committee divided—Fo gainst i r the amendment 124 23 At The clause was agreed to. On clause 4, Mr. ANSTEY proposed to insert the words, " except the Fitting member or members ;" in relation to the examina tion on oath of members by the commissioners. The committee divided—For the amendment 22 Against it The clause was then agreed to, and the house resumed, the committee to sit again at five o'clock to-morrow (this day). THE TITHE RENT CHARGE, &c. (IRELAND) (No. 2) BILL. After some conversation as to whether it should be taken at the morning or evening sitting, was fixed pro forma for five o'cl ,ck on Monday, when the bon. member who has charge of the bill (Mr. Hamilton) will state the day on which it will be hroneht on. PUBLIC HEALTH BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL said he proposed to consider the amendments of the Lords to this bill in committee of the whole house, if there was no objection in point of form to that course. The SPEAKER was not aware of any precedent for such a course; but in many instances the house had referred amendments made by the Loris to committees up stain, and he knew no reason why the house should not refer the con sideration of such amendments to a committee of the whole house. Mr. HENLEY inquired whether some of the Lords' amendments to tnis bill did not trench on the privilege of the house ? The SPEAKER believed that some of those amendments did interfere with the privilege of the Commons, but these would come under the notice of the committee. Lord J. RUSSELL intimated that be should propose that the house go into committee for the purpose of considering these amendments on Monday next, and in answer to a question the noble lord added that there were some of the amendments he should move the house do not agree to, and that others be admitted. The committee was then fixed for Monday next. The Distillery from Sugar Bill was re committed pre forma ; the house resented, and the report was received ; to be read a third time on Monday. MARRIAGE (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD-ADVOCATE moved that the second reading of this bill be fixed for Monday next, at 12 o'clock. Mr. ARKWRIGHT said it was evident the 12 o'clock sittings were ingenious devices for smuggling obnoxious bills through the house. He begged therefore to move that the words "12 o'clock" oe left out. The house divided—For the original motion 79 For the amendment 24-55 The second reading of the bill was then fixed for Monday, at 12 o'clock. WINDSOR APPROACHES BILL. The report on this bill was received; a new clause was added, binding the parties to the bill not to exceed the sum of 85.0001. in executing the whole of the works. In answer to a question by Mr. B. OSBORNE, Lord MORPE ra said, that if at any future time a minister came down and asked for more money to complete these approaches he would do so in violation of this act. REGISTRATION OF SASINES (SCOTLAND). The Lord ADVOCATE moved for leave to bring in a bill to authorise the lords of council and sessions to regulate the rates or dues of registration to be charged by the keepers of the registers of Basin's reversions, &c., m Scotland. Leave given. MR URQUHART'S CORRESPONDENCE. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the order for address re specting Mr. flrquhart's correspondence be discharged, and that an arm ruled order be substituted. Mr. URQUHART hoped that the noble lord would give some reason for his moticn. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the hon. member for Suit ford's motion had been originally objected to by his noble friend, who had arranged with him that it was to be pro posed in an amended form. Subsequently, when the motion was made, his noble friend, thinkii.g it was in the terms pre viously arranged, treated it as an unopposed return,- but, on subsequent examination, it was ascertained that the motion asked for correspondence of 1837.8, instead of 18339, as had been agreed am on. For these reasons he now moved that the order be ended, and the dates 1838 9be substituted for 1837.8. Mr. URQUHART protested against being given papers for which he had never ask, d, and refused those which he had been promised. He contended that his motion was strictly in accordance with the understanding into which he had enter, d with the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He should decline the vrrespondence now offered. (The hon. member immediately left the house.) Lord PALMERSTON said that he had understood the hon. member to ask for the correspondence with Mr. Beck house relative to the Portfolio, and that was what he had agreed to give. The motion, however, which was now .aught to be rescinded was for correspondence re lative to the hon. member's neat, and that corre spondence he (Lord Palmerston) had distinctly intimated to the hon. member could not be given. On constitutional grounds he thought that that correspondence could not be made the subject of discussion in that house. Mr. ANSTEY quoted Mr. Urquhart's speech to prove that the motion did not refer to correspondence connected with the Portfolio, but to his recall from the legation of Constantinople. The motion was then put and agreed to, and The house adjourned at a quarter before 2 o'clock.

The Italian m' parch and his army have abandoned the line of the Mincio gether, and fallen back upon that of the Oglio, vn . * however it may serve as a protection for the ana l behind it, still leaves freely open to the Austiisna the road to Milan. The headlnarters of the Piedmontese army was at Bozzolo, with a strong division at Macereta on the Oglio. It was reported that an Austrian divide, was already at Crem na. which would thus clue the Piedmontese from Milan, the road on which they are stationed being, in fact, the high one between Mantua and Cremona. All accounts from the scene of war mite admitting, that the Piedmontese and their Risg, their troops and generals, behaved with the utmoet gallantry. But they were completely outnumbered, and even out-genera led by their wanting that infant* Lion of the enemy's force and movement, whch shook/ have been supplied amply to them in the their own country. The arm'es contended on vey unequal advantages. The Austrians, possessing thrill fortresses, and able to move from one to the other without fear of attack, were able to coucentrate an overwhelming mass in secret, whilst the movetaaa of the Italians were plainly to be seen and known, and guarded against. CHARLES ALBERT'S attentia was altogether directed towards Mantua, whet ItADETeKI and NCGENT, calling to them all the gon risons and forces scattered through the Venetia towns and territory, issued from Verona. The Tuoc corps gave way before them, and indeed throughoet the five days fighting the Milanese and other Italia corps behaved very badly. The whole brunt fell upon the Piedmontese, who were not aided they ought to have been by Lombards, or by 4 Venetian., or by Romans. Dispirited and pat. lyeed as the Austrian government has been, it a kept pouring in reinforcements and supplies V e It/airman, whilst the Italians crossed their amid made no proportionate efforts. The consequence I, that a campaign so happily commenced, by the • pulsion of the Austrians from the Milanese, and the • defeat at Goito, has ended in a reverse of !atm and in an Austrian army re-crossing Loeb* as victors. In these trying circumstances a Signor GUERRIDI was first despatched by the old provisional governed of Milan to Paris. He was, however, but the anti courier of a serious mission, for M. GUERRIERI me without regtlar powers. The Marchese Rim, did arrive in Paris on the afternoon of \Vedas day with the mission, no doubt, of inducing da French government to march to their aid. It is not so easy on the part of the French Meant to this, for the army of the Alps is, a great porticad it, under the walls of Paris, and that a war in Laa• hardy would be accompanied by war on the MUNI an event too inevitable not to be prepared for. TY Globe, however, was, we believe, quite inearatii stating that the French government had refuel intervene. For, we repeat, GUERRIERI had no me, and RIM only reached Parrs at two o'clock • Wednesday. In the opinion, however, of many influeutie pers ticians, even in Paris, the successes of &Mil rather facilitated an accommodation, than minis intervention necessary. The Archduke 3, 11 opening the Vienna Diet, declared, that he wm iea . pared to respect the nationality of Ital y , that more warlike operations were Beam? for the conclusion of peace. The operands that have taken place have had the reins of entitling the Austrians to demand the line of tit Adige. The Italians cannot now dispute this, al can no longer insist on the Venetian territory. Eov ever regrettable it may be, and however insecure t renders a peace, that peace is impossible now oat on the condition of leaving the Venetian tern*, to Austria. England, which hitherto refuted I mediate on this basis, can no longer refuse do so. And it certainly wou'd be better for the Italian cause and for Europe theta mu* ea Mate should be formed, consisting of Savoy, Piedra , Lombardy to the Adige, with the duchies of Maim and Parma :—:t would ba better to establish a nod Italian monareny like this, in peace, than risk an is , mediate and general war in Europe for the mere oh of giving Venice to Italy. We regret the seversts of Venice, and we cannot think that severanc: list but it is inevitable, and-we must sae that the sepias ness of the Venetian towns and population defense. We have reason to know that Austria win to averse to such a plan of accommodation. The dea n men of Vienna and even of Innsprimk had pr_efal a desire to waive all claim on the .11ihnese. Whel* RADETa o l'ST p i i e n t i O o r n i s ai victories rweimlllnes o leave them in the moderate 1 1 if the Anstnans are called on to practise bearance, French statesmen are called arl to do no less. For, certainly, public opinioe France is setting strongly towards a miiitary la! sion of Italy; and it' peace be not soon concluded'! human power will arrest that tide.

We may therefore conclude by expressing a tf# that the victory of the Austrians may lead to plo without their again molesting Milan , or without* extreme of a French army once more p ea l Y Alpe.
