LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY, Four o'Cloek. We yesterday announced the capitulation of Fri burg, and gave the particulars of that event as they appeared in the official organ of the French govern ment, together with the account of our own corres pondent. The receipt of further advices proves the correctness, in every particular, of our correspondent's version of the surrender, and manifests very clearly the animus of the Journal des Debater. There was no " sanguinary combat in front of Friburg ;" neither had General Aalis-Soglio "penetrated into Argue, and take possession of the important position of Zofingen.' Both these statements, which ap peared officially in the DEbats, were equally destitute of truth. Friburg surrendered almost without a shot, on the 14th. The heights round the city were all occupied by the Federal army on the previous day, and the division of Colonel Ochsenbein had taken up a position within three-quarters of a league of Friburg, without a serious resistance having been experienced upon any point. Tho " bloody combat," says our Pans correspond ent, announced by the journals of M. Guizot as preceding the surrender of Friburg, had for its result four killed and eight wounded—total of both parties! The commander-in-chief, having left some companies in quiet occupation of Friburg, re turned, accompanied by the commander of the artil lery, the same afternoon to Berne, and so the " Fri barg" campaign is ended. The announcement, made exclusively by the Journal des Debats, of a successful diversion of the troope of the Souderbund, proves to be unfounded. General Salis-Soglio, at the head of some troops of Lucerne, advanced across the frontier, and marched into the canton of Argau, where he met with prompt and vigorous resistance, and was forced to retreat into Lucerne, with the loss of 240 men, chiefly killed. In fact all the diversions attempted by the Sonderbund during the operation against Fri burg failed. The division which had penetrated, ac cording to former accounts, to Dieswyl, were met at Gettwy, close to Mari, where a severe engagement took place. The combat lasted half-an-hour, when the invaders retired, leaving a number of dead and wounded on the field. The federal Captain Fischer, of Strengelbech, near Zofingen, was killed, and nine wounded Argovians were removed to the hospital of Aran. Several others, more severely injured, re mained at Muri. The accounts from the sidelof Tessin and Uri were also favourable to the government. The Uri were shat up in St. Gothard, and would, in all troopsik . hood, be obliged to lay down their arms. The paeses to that mountain canton were commanded by the federalists. It was reported that the federal troops had already entered the canton of Lucerne. The Jesuits had all taken flight from Friburg and sought refuge in Neuf chatel, before the surrender of the city on the 14th. The Berne journals of the 16th say that the diet met on that day, and, after receiving an official noti fication of the surrender of Friburg, and the condi tions of the capitulation, appointed, in virtue of article 6, three federal representatives to proceed to Friburg, and there adopt whatever measures they might consider necessary in the interests of the federal government. The three commissioners set oat for Friburg immediately after the sitting of the diet. The Vorort, immediately after the receipt of the news of the capitulation of Friburg, ordered a portion of the troops who had been sent against that place to marsh towards Lucerne. Our Paris despatches of Thursday have arrived. They state that the ring of forts by which the French capital is pretended to be protected from foreign ag gression, but the real purpose of which is effectually to curb any popular movement within it, is about to be rendered still more efficient. Several additional " Bastille'," as they are called, are intended to be erected. One is to be placed on the heights in the park of St. Cloud ; another at Mendon ; and another at Sevres. Surveys for these and others have been made within the last ten days. To lessen the diffi culties which may arise on the subject in the Cham ber a part of the cost of their construction is to come out of the funds of the civil list. We have Madrid news to the 13th. The deputies were arriving, and the moderados were to have had • preliminary meeting on Saturday. It was expected that M. Mon would be elected president of the repre sentative chamber. It was believed that the king would accompany the Queen at the opening of the legislative session. According to the Popular, the Infante Don Francisco de Paula was pre paring to return to Madrid. The Prow states that the queen was of late in a precarious state of health, and that she was subject to frequent attacks of melancholy. The Union Bank had suspended its payments, but strong hopes were entertained of its being able to resume. The Three per Cents., 26, at 50 days ; Five per Cents., 141 for paper; the Debt without interest, at 41; and the Coupons, at 11. A private letter from Liverpool, received by a mer chant in the City this mmuwg, announces that the murderer of Major Mahon bad been discovered there, and taken into custody. DEATH OF CAPTAIN GROVER.—Died,lt Brune* on the 6th inst., Captain Grover, F.H.B. Circumstances ars yet fresh in the mind of the . public connecting this gallant officer with the indefatigable Dr. Wolff. By him the mission of the worthy doctor toßokkara was projected, and his chi valrous conduct in raiaing . the Stoddart and Conolly Fund" is well known. It is much to be feared that lus exertions in that canoe contributed to his early death, since it was observed by ilia friends that after that event he appeared gradually to lase, his voice, and to fail in, bodily, though he never scanted mental energyvd To i bis exertions Dr. Wolff owes the preservation of hislife,44lOisinterven tion, at Bokhara, of the friendly power of Peria:e. Lord Aberdeen will long remember his interviews with this able officer. Educated at Soho, under Dr. Barrow, contemporary with Air John Moore, he was well known for a gentleman of higlr'acientitle pews% to *elate Captain Hunter, who left hi lira executor others.

The Expeetador announoes the arrival of an Eng lish diplomatist with an important and delicate mission, 'of which," adds the reduce prereeteta paw, "we wis h not to obstruct the Koreas by untimely remarks." I can only suppose that this journal refers loth. ar:ival at Madrid of Mr. Monektoa Milner.

Although t h e Queen gents at the notion of reading the ministerial speech, end aceording to some has absolutely refused, when I visited the royal stables yesterday I saw them rubbing the wheels and panels of the state carriages for the occasion, so that minister', it seems, have no doubt of her giving in when it comes to the push. The act of impeachment against &Lunatics has, I hear, been drawn up. A young hot heeded moderedo deputy Moron, has engaged to undertake the task of laying it before the If the accusation is brought forward, Olosega will, I ear, move se an amendment, that the in quiry proposed be extended to the administrations of Car- Mon, Be. Pavia arrived at Barcelona oath, night of the 7th, accom panied by General Perez, and a strong escort of cavalry. Don Francisco, Fontanelle , the commissioner of the Bank of San Fernando, will resume possession of all the govern ment funds belonging to that province. The mercantile crisis continues. Various are the houses whose credit is supposed to be compromised. The failure is said to be imminent of a large establishment which, since Wednesday, has neglected to fulfil its ongegnments with pouctualit7. - Gement Deurildme Ortega has been banished suddenly to quarters at Coruna . He was sitting the night before last with friends, when the government order to start the fol lowing morning for this distant destination reached him This blow is cousin-german to the one dealt upon Alsiz Ortega applied to the government te change his destination from Comtism to Aragon, but was not listened to. Andres Borrego was gestated yesterday as plenipotentiary minister to the Swiss Diet. THE BRITANNIA.—The Britannia steamer, Captain Harrison, sailed from Liverpool yesterday, for Halifax and Boston. She carries out no specie. THE NEW PARLIAMENT.—The House of Commons, which assembled for the first time on Thursday, is the fifth Parliament of the new era of Reform. The last met for the first time in August, 1841, and lasted six years. The present Speaker, Mr. C. S. Lefevre, has now been elected to the chair of the House of Commons for the third time. The right hon. gentleman was originally proposed by the Mel bourne Ministry on the retirement of Mr. Abercromby, now Lord Dunfermline, and only obtained the distinguished poet which he has ever since so ably and impartially occu pied by the narrow majority of 18 votes over his opponent, Mr. Ooulburn, the Es-Chancellor of the Exchenuer. This occurred in May, 18.19. When Parliament was dissolved two years afterwards (in June, 1841), it was pretty generally expected that Mr. Lefevre would be relieved from his respon sibilities, and removed from the chair of the House by the newly-acquired Tory majority. The event turned out other wise, for, in consequence of a representation or remonstrance in favour of the ex-Speaker, which was presented to the proximate Premier, Sir R. Peel, by a considerable number of his supporters, no attempt was made to disturb Mr. Lefevre in the possession of hie seat, and he was accordingly re-elected nem dist. On Thursday the same gentleman once more had the honour to be banded to the chair of the new House of Commons, without:a voice:being raised against the motion to seat him. In fact, since the memorable ejection of the late Viscount Canterbury in 183,5, the re-election of the ex-Speaker has never been opposed on the re-assembling of the House of Commons. A DINNER to celebrate the new maaterships of the Quern and Cottesmore Hounds, by Sir Richard Sutton and Mr. Greaves, took place at the George Hotel, Melton, on Wednesday last. There was a good muster of the gentlemen and farmers of the neighbourhood, but there were not many of the members of either hunt present. ANOTHER OPINION ON HEDGE-ROWS. At the monthly meeting of the Peterborough Farmers' Club on the 13th inst., a discussion on the injurious effects of high hedges, ani timber-trees in hedge-rows led to the following reeolu- I tion :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that hedges are generally injurious to the proper cultivation of arable farms, but where hedges are necessary as division fences, they ought to be kept low ; that trees in hedge-rows are a still greater evil, and they occasion • serious loss to the community, inasmuch as they prevent all corn or roots near them growing to maturity, and even when suffered to stand for 20 or 30 years, are themselves comparatively worthless. Trees requisite for farming p¢ are therefore recom mended to be grown in detached groups, in positions peat_ I liarlyJ adapted for them." OOII3IIBBION OF LUNACT.—This morning a com mission of lunacy was opened at the Sheriff's-office, Red Lion-square, before Francis Barlow, R.q., to inquire into the state of mind of Alexander Weddell, gent., of William-street, Regent's-park. No counsel, appeared on either side, and the learned cossmiasioner briefly described the nature of the ease as set forth in the affidavit on which the commission was boned, from which it appeared that the unfortunate gentleman was very advanced in age, being about 90, and that there was such a great loss of memory that he was decidedly of unsound mind, and almost help less. He was also at some times violent. Dr. Tonlmin, of Blackheath, was called, and proved that be visited Mr. Weddell professionally in October last, and he had no hesitation in saying he (Mr. W.) was then in as un sound state of mind. He had attended him five or six years ago, when he appeared to be breaking fast under the weight of old age. He was now totally usable unable to take care of himself, or manage his affairs.—Mr. Mott, surgeon, of Howland-street. Fitzroy-square, gave similar evidence, hay. ing attended Mr. Weddell for several months. Mr. Wed dell was present. and his answers clearly showed he was in the state described, and the jury returned • verdict accord- RAILWAYS.—There has scarcely been any busi ness in shoes, the large failure announced this morning having indisposed dealers to specula*.

CORN.—ELY, Nov. 18.—We had a large attend ance at our market to-day, and a moderate slimly of grabs; the trade in general extremely dull ; and for all descriptions prices had a downward tendency. EXETIR, Nov. 19.—Great firmness has been shown by holders of English Wheat, who have generally succeeded in maintaining last week's prices. For beet samples, 7s. 9d. to Be. per bushel, and 7e. to 7s. 6d. for inferior tarts. Foreign Wheat has been offered by Mr. Fry: Petersburg, red, at 485.; Polish Odessa, red, 52e. ; American white, 585.; and Dantric whit*, at 625. per quarter. Barley, 4e. to 4s. 3d. ; Oats, 31. to 3a. 3d. per quarter. Flour, 434. to 455. per sack of 280Ibs. Hams!, HamPSTED, Noe. 18.—Old Wheat, 38s. to 38s. per load of 6 bushels ; new, 30s. to 365.; Beans, 30s. to 385.; Peas, 355. to 38s. ; Barley, 28s. to 325. per qr. ; Oats, 225. to 265. ; Tares, 7.. 6d. to Si. Bd. per bushel. ROLL, Nov. 19.—The grain trade has been generally in. active and where sales are made rather lower prices have to be taken. The supply of English Wheat has been rather large, and 2a. per qr. lower rates accepted. Barley slow of sale, at Is. to 2s. per qr. decline. Coate being scarce, com mead Is. per qn advance. Beam and Peas were sold early in the week at Is. per qr. decline ; but they are now firmer again. Rye Meal command a good sale at 71. per ton. Nitrate of Soda commands 12s. per cwt. Linseed Cakes have been more inquired for, owing to the sudden change in the weather, from being nild and open to snow and very sharp frost; but the sales are principally confined to the beat qualities of foreign and Hull-made. Rape Cakes same as last week; alas Bones and Guano. The arrival, of Linseed this week consist of 5,650 qrs. from Kertoh ; 940 qrs. from Riga ; 1,175 qrs. from Konigsburg ; and 1,600 qrs. Petersburg—together, 9,265 qrs. Thee. sup plies being moderato, end not pressed on the market, prices have been wall supported in the sales effected. The demand continues very . good from the crushers whose consumption is now so extensive as to keep the market from being overdone with supplies. Black Sea is worth 48s. • fine heavy Peters burg, 465.; middling quality, 425. to 4-4. ; down to 395. for inferior • Archangel, 40e. es 415.: Riga, 41s. to 445.; no Memel Offering • Konigsberg, of middling quality , 38e. to 40e. ; inferior, 365. to 37.. per qr. For arrival, an ad vance of 1.. to 2.. per quarter on them rates is required. The shipments from the Upper Baltic ports may be con sidered to have oeased for this year, and even from the lower porta nothing of consequence will now be sent off. The want of confidence has materially curtailed the ehipments this autumn, whilst a very extensive consumption is going on in this country; and as no stocks have accumulated, we shall have to rely upon large and continued arrivals nner the winter, for the eupply of crashers' wants. Rapeseed. A parcel of very fine Danish is offering at 271. 10.. per last. Foreign imports into Hull dur i ng this week : Linseed, 9,286 qrs. ; - Rapeseecl, 396 ; Wheat, 6,387 ; Earley, 791; Beans, 2,073; Peas, 2,704 ; Tares, 238; Rye Meal, 1,021 bags. LINCOLN, Noy. 19.—We hays bad a fair show of Wheat at our market to-day, which was taken off at 2s. lees money than last Friday. Red, 60a. to 645. ; white, 60s. to 68s. A small show of Barley, at last week's rates; very little doing in Oats, at last week's pricer—may, 20e. to 24e. Beans, new, 44e. to '461. LIVERPOOL, NOV. 19.—We continue to be scantily supplied with any kind of produce coastwise and Ire land, and have nothing worth naming from America this week ; whilst the only arrivals from the Continental ports of Europe, since our last, consist merely of a few. parcels of Wheat, Barley, and Indian Corn, all through the Mediter ranean. Since our market of the 16th mast., and up to this date, Indian Cern and,Corn Meal have continued to meet a fair inquiry on the full tern i then stated ; but for Wheat, Flour ' and all other articles of the Corn trade, the demand has been languid, and prices rather easier. owing to the general dullness in London, the downward tendency ex hibited in many of the provincial markets this week, and the,abeenoe of any enlivening features for the moment. At . this day's market the transactions in any description of Wheat were upon a very limited scale and having few country millers in attendance, even the best qualities of that 'grain were slightly depressed in value, and the general runs of English, huh, and Foreign must be noted ld. to 2d. per 701 b. &taper.

I IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LOHDS.—FRIDAY, Nov. 19. The Lords Comornierioners, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Grey, the Earl of Auckland, Lord Langdale, and Lord Campbell, took their seats at 2 o'clock. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, addressing Sir Augustus Clifford, the usher of the black rod, said. Let the Com mons know that the Lords Commimioners desire theirattend . anee immediately in this house. The Commons, aseerdingly, headed by Mr. flaw Lefevre, appearing at the bar, Mr. S . LEFEVRE said: I have to acquaint your lord ships that in obedience to her Majesty's commands, and in the exercise of their undoubted rights and privileges, her Majesty's faithful Commons have proceeded to the election of a Speaker, and as the object of that choice, however un worthy I now submit myself to her Majesty's approval. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said Mr. Shaw Leferre, we are commanded by her Majesty to enure you that her Majesty is so 'enable of your admirable sufficiency for the discharge of the important duties which her Majesty's faith hal Commons have elected you to execute, that her Majesty most fully approves and confirms you as their Speaker. The SPEAKER said : My lords, it is with the deepest gratitude that I bow to the deckion of the Rouse of Com mons, confirmed as it has been by her Majesty's most graci ous approval, and it now becomes my duty, in the name and on the behalf of her May's faithful Commons of the United Kingdom, to lay claim, by humble petition, to all their ancient and undoubted rights and privileges, especially those of freedom of arrest in their person or their servants, freedom of debate, and free access to her Majesty whenever occasion may require it. And I have also to ask that her Majesty will be pleased to put the most favourable construc tion en all our words and actions, and that if any error be committed, that error may be attributed to me alone, and not to her Majesty's faithful Commons. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said . Mr. Speaker, we have it further in command from her Majesty to inform you that her Majesty most readily confirms all the rights and privileges which have been ever granted and conferred on the Commons by her Majesty, er by any of her Majesty's royal predecessors. With respect to yourself, although her Majesty is sensible that you stand in no need of any such insurance, yet her Majesty will ever put the most favourable construction upon your words and actions. The Commons then withdrew, and the further sitting of their was occupied with the sweeriag-in of peers. ' loitialtips HOUSE OF COMMONS —FBIDAY Nor. 19. The house assembled in considerable numbers between 1 and 2 o'clock. The Speaker took his seat at the table, the only mark of official id nity which the right hon. gentleman assumed being a barrister's wig, which, contrasted with the flowing robes usually worn by him, presented rather an odd appear ance. At 18 minutes part 2, Sir Augustus Clifford, the usher of the black rod, appeared at the bar, sad, approaching the table with the customary inclinations, said :—Mr. Speaker The Lords Commissioners are authorised, by virtue of her Majesty's commission, to require the immediate attendance of this hon. house in the House of Peers. The Speaker, conducted by Lord Seymour and Mr. J. A. Smith, and preceded by his mace bearer, repaired to the House of Lords, as soon as the black rod had disappeared. A considerable cort4e of members accompanied the right hon. gentleman. After an absence of about five minutes, The Speaker returned in the same form, and took his station on the step of his chair. He then said :—I have to acquaint the house that I have been this day to the House of Lords, when I communicated to the lords nominated in her Majesty's commission that this house had proceeded to its election of a Speaker, and that the choice had for the third time fallen upon me. The Lords Commis sioners, on behalf of her Msjeaty, have confirmed that choice, and signified also her 'dainty's moat gracious approval. I then laid claim, on the part of the house, to all the emus tomed and undoubted privileges possessed by this house — the freedom from arrest for its members, the freedom of debate, free access to her Majesty at all reasonable times, and that her Majesty would place the most favourable constres tion on all our words and actions. My Lords Cemadmiesen were authorised by her Majesty to concede all these desiasda I cannot make this communication to the house withostten dering my thanks for having been again placed in the high position which I occupy ; assuring the house that it will be always alike my endeavour, as my desire, with its assist ance—and after the proceedings of yesterday, I feel confident I shall always have that support—to uphold the dignity and independent* of this house—(cheersl—and that respect for its rules and orders, upon the prompt obedience to which not only do public and private business depend, hut also the character of the house itself. (Cheers.) I have now to remind the house that the only business which can at present be proceeded with is tho administering of the oaths required by law. The clerks at the table then proceeded to tender the cus tomary oaths, the solemnity being first completed by the speaker, who signed afterwards the parliamentary roll and the other declaration, after which the members were called up by rota, according to the alphabetical list of counties. The members for Bedkirdsaire were first called, and after wards those for Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Chester, and Cornwall ; whereupon se many of theknights of the shire, elitism and bargees", from theee counties as were present made a circle round the table and took the oaths. Among rtecthus formed we ebeerred Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Dia- Kr. Law, Sir J. Jervis, the Hon. Mr. Campbell, OM sei Mr, J.

All the new sew sweat in during the day were introduced to the Speaker by the chief clerk, who repeated their names in a loud yoke after they had pissed the table,whereupon they shook hands with the right hoe. gentleman. The greatest part of the old members also interchanged the usual salutations with tha Speaker, wishing him health and patience to perform the arduous duties of another parliament. The next counties called in alphabetical order were Cum berland, Derby, Dorset, and Essex, when about 20 more hon. members presented themselves, and went through the same ceremonial. During the swearing in of this group an inci dent occurred which excited some little smusement. An elderly member, new to the house, in ignorance of its usages, before the speaker, and between the ' right hongentleman and the table. A load of Order , order," from all parts of the house, ap asti to mish the hon. offender, who looked around in some surprise, as if to ascertai n the cause of such exclamations at a moment when no hon. member was addressing the house. A whisper from a friend better acquainted than himself with the farms of the house, suddenly awoke the new representative to a fall sense of the seeming disrespect to the chair which he had just unwittingly com mitted. The hon. gentleman, upon being introduced to the Speaker shortly efterwards, appeared to apologise with much earnestness and sincerity for his involuntary breach of etiquette, and the speaker evidently receive the tiPlins , don with great good humour. Two tables covered with green baize were here brought in, in order to allow of a greater number of members being sworn at the same time. _ The_counties now called were _ _ iiti;liiifidem; LTn;ashir;, - 64;sieTilciVe, LiTcoinald .

The hones adjourned at a quarter pest 4 ec IX this day. in idea, that parliaments of late years have generally passed by almost acclamation the very measures which their majority was especiallyelected to stifle and reject. The history of each session tells the same story. Itopens I with the apparition of some mighty spectre, hailed by a small and liberal minority, but exorcised and dreaded by the overwhelming mass of voices. As the session advances, this spectre, be h religious emancipation, electoral reform, or free trade, be comes more constant in its presence, more fami liar in its features, fascinating its enemies, para lysing and benumbing the efforts of those whose adherence it cannot win; until at the eleventh hour, too late for many of its beneficial effects, the great popular opinion forces itself into the authority and ascendancy of a parliamentary one ; and of six hundred gentlemen more than one-halt: are found busily and zealously undoing the political labour of their lives. _ . --- —.— Were we, then, to be guided by the history of the past, we should merely have to ask, at the opening of a parliament's first session, what was the most rooted, and at the same time the moat lofty and prominent prejudice, that moat cherished and toasted by the old tones, and the ab rog ation of which was most loudly demanded by a small band of men, vilified perhaps as radicals, and who have the misfortune of always being some tensor fifteen years in advance of their brethren. Could we fix upon such a prejudice, such • monopoly, or such an abuse at present, in this, the hour of a new parliament's birth, we might fairly argue from the history of the past that it had at most but six years to live, if, indeed, the experience of the in expediency of resisting to the very last, and fighting desperate and forlorn battles, did not warn the toriea of the day, how much better it is to compromise all such quarrels, and to make terms ere the battlements of defence be battered about their ears.. The parliament now opening differ'', however, from its predecessors in there being no great spectre, novery great and prominent question of the kind. What proses, is principally the removal of odds and ends of old monopolies or antiquated intolerance, of which the _ strength lies in their not being impor tant enough to arouse any general or popular resist ance to them. The questions likely to occupy parlia ment are more calculated to perplex by their intricacy, than to interest strongly those party feelings, which at least crush a difficulty by force, if it cannot be solved or removed by patience or wisdom. The currency question is not a party one, nor have all the efforts of Birmingham rendered it popular and intelligible. Ireland might be made a theme for awakening the old rancour and prejudices of class and creed; but in their decisions upon Irish politics the great majority is more and more each day influ enced by purely economical arguments and motives, wisely setting aside that mixture of political and religious rancour which has so long shaded and obscured a question intrinsically one of population, employment, and food. Those questions which now thrust themselves for ward at the premature opening of the session do not, therefore, strike us as the great and permanently pro minent ones of the new parliament. A much more vital and all-interesting question will be the due imposition and equalisation of the burdens of the country. It is a subject too vast to enter upon here. But it is sufficient to characterise the entire system as one, which presses with hundredfold weight upon the earner, and spares idleneee to screw the uttermost farthing out of industry ; proportioning the burden, not to property, but to the efforts to amass and acquire it. The income tax, about to expire, will, with the inevitable deficiency of the revenue, open out all these questions at an early period. The tones are already buckling on their armour for it. They de nounce as menacing to their existence, any further extension of direct taxation. And, if we mistake not, the liberal party will be as opposed to the extension, unless the tax be laid upon realised property. If any question can be considered in the light of those which were described at the commencement of this article, it is the question of more equable and wise taxation—one that implies relief bout the vexations of excise and the superfluous intermeddling of customs. That in the sixth session of the third par liament of Queen Vic ronin our tariff will be far different from what it is, and our whole system of taxation changed, who can doubt ? The only doubt at present is, whether Lord JOHN RUSISELL or Sir Rona= PEAL will make the fret and decisive move. 'We have beard that both are this moment meditating it. We print in another column a letter from "A Commissioner of Sewers," defending the Westminster commiasion from certain strictures of ours contained in an article of Wednesday last. We are delighted to learn that our picture of the Westminster commission is no longer a faithful one. We are glad to be informed that at act of last session has given to the commissioners that power to build new sewers which we represented them as not pos sessing. We confess that we were not aware of such an ß act ut oarbaying been nd nt Psaled charg . es us with misrepre. sentations, the disc edit of which, if misrepresenta tions they be, properly falls on the report of the Mary lebone committee, from which we quoted. On referring to our article, it will be seen that our remarks on the prohibition of drainage into existing sewers are made to th e past tense. They profess to describe what was not what is. Our correspondent is very much in error if he supposes us actuated by any peculiar hos tility to existing commissions. We complain, as we have always complained, of the system, and not indi vidushi. have asserted, and believe , that if th e seven existing tZunmisaionfi were all that they could be made, under th.' beet management, and with the most ample powers, they mast still fail in their work of effectually sewering the metropolis. They want a machinery for co-operation. They are eared, when they should he one. If they are to remain seven, they should form • federal union with a central body, composed of delegates from the constituent boards. For the uniform action, which would thus be rendered possible, all the most im portant materials are, it is true, still wanting. There is no general survey of London, with the oontour lines noes cry for ascertaining the levels at a glance. But we should thus at once get rid of such drawbacks as the non-coincidence of the present commissions with the natural areas of drainage, and the resulting want of command over the °Walls. The very boundary lines between two neighbouring commis sions, as for instance between the Finsbary and Holb ' orn, and the Westminater, are vague and hardly ascertained. Our attacks have bean on a system which perpetuates such absurdi ties as these. We have moreover, cried out against the of large and irresponsi6:o bodies doonnimioners. They fall into one of twe - - - vicious states. Either the work gradually becomes monopolised by a few of their number, or when all take part in it it is jobbed—dons at great cost, and imperfectly. It is almost impossible in such commisnons to overcome the tempta tions to snug arrangements, in which the con tracting pulses are benefited at the expense of the public+. The rate-payers can have no real control over commisoons nominated by the LORD CHANCELLOR. Their members are virtually self-electing, and prima oally include a majority of persons utterly unfitted, by bkbb and knowledge, for the work they are sup posed to perform. Hatch jobs as we recorded on Mr. Mules autho rity are now impossible in Westminster, nem rejoice at the change more heartily than we do But the discontinuance of such notorious jobbery in no way alters our opinion of the present !system, ender whkk if not so much practised, these Waxers m preatioable as ever. Moreover, such exposures es that which a few months ago was made of the Long-acre sewer. ages, within the limits of the Westminster Commis sion a little shake our faith in o ur correspon d ent ' s zealous assertion of the present system, even in its how* Mile, and with its enlarged powers. Oar corespondent will see, from our ready avowal of avid& in a matter important to the cre dit of the Westminster Commission in particular, that we have no desire to misrepresent that body.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Iwo o'Clock.—We have again the same sort of chequered stock market. Consols were first quoted 844 to 4, from which they advanced to 844, money and this account. This advance, it now appears, was the result of the failure in the house of Mr. John Williams, jun., a dealer upon an extensive scale, and a gentleman possessing very much the confidence and respect of the members of the Stock Exchange generally, by whom his misfortune is greatly regretted. He had been habitually a large seller of Consols, having a strong opinion adverse to the rise or the stability of prices. He was consequently what is called a " bear" at considerably lower rates than have ruled for some time past. His heavy ac count had therefore to be bought in so as to close his affairs, and hence the main cause of the temporary rise of prices. The failure is said to be for about 20,0001. of differences againt him. That sum would rerweat transactions for many hundreds of thousands of pounds. Such an event would of course de range the account.s of all who had declines with him. Those who had bought from or sold to him, had also sold to and bought from other parties. The stock which he bad engaged to deliver or take had to be replaced by other purchases or sales, and so on through a wide circle of brokers and dealers. Mr. Williams, it is stated, has quite justified the high o ' ion entertained of his integrity. He is reported to have remitted by a friend the sum of 10,0001. to the committee of the Stock Exchange this mornihg, to be applied towards the liquidation of his engagements ; and it is expected that be will be enabled to realise as much more as will make fifteen shillings in the pound for his creditors. Of course he does not forfeit his position in the house after such conduct. In fact, say defaulter honestly surrendering his books and assets, and showing his inability to pay more than 6s. Bd. in the Found, would not be deprived of his rights of membership. It appears now that a part of Mr. ,Williams's account was brought in yesterday by his friends, which contributed to assist the improve ment in prices then noticed. From 844 Consuls descended subsequently, and after these buying-in operations were ooncludedr to .834 to 4. But they have since recovered, and,pow are, quoted 84+ tog forimoney and account.
