The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, la reply to the question , of the hon. member for Dublin, said that a resenpt ap pointing any Roman catholic archbishop or bishop with a territonal talk would, in his judgment, be illegal, both under the statute of Usu. IV., and also under the provi sions of this bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. REYNOLDS mid that although this answer did not satisfy him—(oh, oh)—yet he felt he would be guilty of an unpardonable offence, alter what he had promised, if he persevered with his motion for reporting progress. (Hear, hear.) The committee divided on the motion "that the ant clause stand part of the bill:" For it Against 62-182 On our return to the gallery, we found - - - Lord J. RUSSELL moving that the Chairman report progress and ask leave to sit again on Monday. In making this motion, he had a suggestion to make to some of those hon. gentlemen who bad amendments on the paper. The Pint clause had becu very fairly debated that night by many members ; but with regard to another class of mem bers of that house, who were supporters of the bill, and who were anxious to move. amendments, be wished them to consider whether there were not amendments— see ing that some of them did not carry the enactments of the bill any further than they were now tarried, and that others were of so objectionable a character in the view of many members that it would be impossible fur either them or the government to assent to them—he wished such hon. gentlemen to consider, not to-night, but between this and Monday, whether there were not some of those amend ments which they might not think of insufficient impor tance to press on the attention of the house. (hear, hear.) It appeared to him that the first clause M the bill 'tamped with illegality the brief of September, and that the second clause made illegal and visited with penalties the assump tion of titles taken from places in this country ; and that these two clauses would tom a declaration by parliament sufficiently strong and authorativc to vindicate the supre macy of the crown and the power of parliament. Now, however, hon. gentlemen might differ with regard to the improvements that might be made in the bill, he wished them to consider whether the de lay and divi.ionx that might occur in cousequenct would not be an evil more than counterbalancing the advantage that might he obtained from the adoption of the amend ments. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WALPOLE said that he thought it would be mum talent if he were to state shortly the course he proposed to take. Meer, hear.) His first amendment on the second clause related to three points. The first proposed that if any person should do, or assume to do, any set, deed, or matter under or by virtue of the said brief, rescript, or letters apietolical. • The second was that "if any person should hereafter obtain, or cause to be procured, or publish and put in use any brief. reseript, &c." And the third was that .• if any person should, under colour of any autho lily from the bishop or see of Rume, assume or claim to have or exercise any authority or jurisdiction over any province or diocese, or any pretended province or diocese in the;United Kingdom," certain penalties were to fellow. Now, With regard to the first, it was a necessary conse quence of declaring the brief to be unlawful, and he would take the opinion of the committee upon it. With regard to the second point, he thought it necessary to take the opinion of the house upon it, as he thought it would be advisable to avoid having recourse to fresh le gislation and having their time wasted as it WY recently. (Hear, hear.) Ile would therefore press these two amendments on the enir.mittee. (near, hear.) With regard to No. 3 he had more doubts about it, beemee of the difficulty of enforcing the prohibition in the same way as in the two other eases. %Ali regard to the prosecuting clause he was ready to adopt the amendment proposed by his hon. and learned friend the member fur Abingdon,— (hear, hear)—and he thought that the proposition of the hon. and learned member for Athlone might be incorpo rated in that proviso. With regard to the other amend ments on the second paragraph, he proposed to press them strongly on the attention of the house. (Hear, bear.) Lord. RUSSELL mid he was much obliged to the hon. and learned member for the statement of the course he pro to take, but it might be convenient to inform the that he could not consent to any of the amendments be meant to propose. Alter a few words from Mr. WALPOLE, The CHAIRMAN reported !progress, and the house I,ol.iilllTllollP said he would not withdraw :tny of his assendraeots. __________ ____ CUSTOMS BILL.

This day having been appointed fur the celebra tion of her Majesty's birthday, according to annual custom the inspection of the brigade of guards by his Royal High ness Prince Albert and the commander-in-chief took place on the parade at the rear of the Horse Guards, iu St. James's park. The wiudows in the official residence of the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Horse Guards, Melbourne house, and the Treasury were crowded with ladies, and a large number of persons had taken up positions on the roofs of the adjacent public of em The space marked out for the occupation of the troops was surrounded with thousands of pedestrians, and the line of route from Buckingham Palace to the Horse Guards was thronged with persons of all classes. The line was kept by eidetic!, told off from the several battalions, aa.isted by the metropolitan police ; the route of the Royal party was guarded by emistables; and strong detachments of the detective force were mingled in the crown. Boon after eight o'clock the brigade-major and staff arrived, and marked out the ground, aid at nine o'clock 1 the several battalions marched in. On the arrival of the 1 colonels commandants at half.past nine, the a hole of the I available strength of the brigade, with the exception of the Ist battalion of the Coldstream Guards (quartered in the tower), took up the positions assigned thew. The men, as is customary, had their new clothing, and the brigade, forming three sides of a square, when viewed from th.• Home Guards, had • most imp osing effect. Precisely at ten o'clock his Ro yal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by his Serene Highness the Duke of Raze Coburg Gotha, the Duke Ernest of Wurtemburg, Prince Leinengen, the Duke of Wellington, Marquis An glesea, Earl of Cardigan, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and at tended by a numerous and brilliant suite. arrived, and were received with a royal salute, the bands playing the National Anthem. The hne then took close order, and formed sub-divisions by the right, marching past in slow and quick time ; after which the line was again formed, and a general salute given, the bands playing the National Anthem. The men for tie duty of the day having been told off, were marched to their respective guards, and ;,the remainder pro ceeded to their quarters. The guard of honour was sta tioned at the Horse Quanta until required for duty at her h1.4.-sty's drawing-room.

The concession, the manner of performing it, and the language in which 'the favour is announced, are all acts of a feudal superior towards a dependant tenan- 1 try; and such is really the subsisting relation between tenants and their landlords on most of the great estates of England. And that is shown by the next passage, wherein the steward deprecates the " mistaken notions" wider which his lordship's tenants labour " with regard to the claims they ap pear anxious to submit to their landlord for relief," s " to allude to a few matters which ought to C o considered differently by unprejudiced farmers," and says, " I think that tenant farmers should look for rehef from other sources, as well as from their landlord." He then points out some of the advan tages they derive from the " free trade system." He tells them first, that the wages of an able-bodied man are W. a year lower, though the labourer is at the same time better able to live and maintain his family , than when food and other articles were dear ; secondly, that all the necessaries of life being cheaper, the farmer can maintain his establishment at less cost than formerly; thirdly, that the tithe rent charge is gradually becoming lower with the lower average prices of corn ; fourthly, that all rates and local taxes are becoming lower, while sonic of the general taxes which have been paid by the tenant are being reduced or repealed; and, fifthly, that BOW. will go as fur in stocking a farm now as I,OOW. would have done under a system of artificially high prices. And he adds, "that tenants who have the means of stocking their farms will find that under these and other advantages they car► obtain as good a return for their labour and interest on their capital now as formerly. I think that many farmers who are fortunate enough to possess capital and skill will (unex pectedly, perhaps, to themselves) find their condition materially improved under the present state of things, especially if, by a steady perseverance in the management of their affairs, they continue to pursue that course of economy which has seldom been known to fail." In the propositions contained in the above passage we entirely concur, for we are convinced that, not withstanding sonic temporary inconveniences, farmers with skill and capital have now a better prospect of steady and permanent profits than they have had since the first unhappy attempt was made to bolster up prices by legislative enactments. But it is quite clear that the tenants of the Berkeley estate are labouring under the illusion that their landlord must help them over their difficulties ; and that exertion on their own parts will be una vailing. Here we see tho natural consequence, alike injurious to landlord and tenant, of the state of dependence in which the tenants are kept, that when a time of depression occurs they look to their landlord alone for relief, overlooking the advantages within their reach and omitting the exertions neces snry to turn them to account. For this the land lords are as much, or more, to blame than the te nants. To manage a farm successfully requires that the tenant should possess considerable capital, that the farm itself should be in such condition that capi tal may be safely laid out in its cultivation ; and that the tenant should have such security of tenure and such a permanence of possession that he may be justified iu making outlays with a view to compara tively distant returns. Now, we suspect that the Berkeley estate does not conform to these condi tions. Nor is it singular in this respect, though in some particulars its management is below rather than above the average of that of large proper ties. The land, for the most part, of great natural fertility, is much in want of draining ; the farm buildings are very deficient ; the fields are small and much encumbered with high hedges and a most enormous quantity of hedgerow timber, and the estate is sadly overstocked with game ; while the tenants occupy only front year to year, and are not reported to be very largely en dowed with skill or capital. At all events, as yearly tenants, they cannot prudently invest capital in such a way as not to be recoverable within a short time, neither are their farms in such a state as to render considerable outlays likely to be profitable. They may take what may be culled the natural produce of the land, but they cannot enter upon that system of high farming which experi ence has proved to be the one by which profit can be made in husbandry. And the moderate prices likely to be henceforth obtained for agricul tural products render it more than ever necessary that the farmer should raise a large gross produce. He is a manufacturer of food, and he must do as other manufacturers have been obliged to do before Lim—produce more commodities at a lower price than has hitherto been his custom. Nor would he have much difficulty in so doing ; but unfortunately for the farmer he can take no effective means for the purpose without the co-operation of his landlord, nay, without the landlord taking the initiative by improving his own estate, and affording to the tenant that secu rity for his capital, that certainty of reaping where he has sown, without which it is an idle dream to suppose that the tenant farmer can rely on his own exertions, or avail himself of the many substantial advantages which the present sounder basis for his calculations and outlays affords. Landowners will find that reduction of rent alone will not satisfy their tenants, or enable them to obtain fair returns for their labour and capital. Something more is required. A revision of the scheme on which estates are managed is indispensable; and in place of the semi-feudalism which clings about all the relations of landlord and tenant, a system of commercial contracts must be ..flopted. Tenants must be enabled to rely on their own exertions, by being rendered secure that such exertions be not interfered with, and by having their land and their homesteads put into such con dition that exertion will meet with its ordinary and legitimate reward. It is in the absence of any inti mation of such aids from the landlord that the BER KELEY circular is chiefly defective. Had the tenants occupied, under leases, land in such a state of im provement as would justify good cultivation, and their farms been free from the pest of game and the cold shade of innumerable elms, nothing could have been more fair than the abatement of rent made, nothing more reasonable and sound than the advice given. In one sense it is a valuable document, as repudiating the delusions which certain politicians are striving to perpetuate amongst the fanners, and as pointing out that low prices bring benefits as well as difficulties to farmers. But it fails, by ignoring the fact that something more than a reduced rent, something which it is within the landlord's power to offer, is required to enable the te nantry' to act up to the exigencies of the time, in afford ing a satisfactory solution of the difficulties arising from " the present depressed state of agriculture." THE " miscellaneous estimates" are not unaptly named; but for it is impossible to discover any prin ciple of classification in them. No. V. purp3rts to embrace the estimates for "colonial, consular, and other foreign services." In it are jumbled together items of expenditure which have no natural eon cexion, which are not even incurred by the same de partments, and some of them only supplementary to other estimates. It is impossible to glean from it what any one branch of the public service is likely to cost. The estimates of the expenditure on commissions for suppression of the slave trade and for the support of captured negroes are entered in this chapter, under separate heads. These, we presume, are regarded as " other foreign services." But among the colonial items we find a vote for the support of stipendiary justices in the West Indies and the Mauri tius. These magistrates were appointed for the special and temporary purpose of guarding the transition from slavery to freedom; their coat is as much part of the expense annually incurred by this country to put down negro slavery and the negro slave trade, as the other items just mentioned. And all three taken together convey no idea of what our crusade against slavery and the slave trade annually costs us. They are none of them items of colonial expenditure, pro perly speaking ; their objects have some bearing upon one group of colonies; but so has the expense of conv.et transportation in another. Why are we not presented with a complete statement of the expense which the suppression of slavery and the slave trade entails upon us ? And if that expense is to be attributed to the colonies, why is not the convict transportation expenditure classed along with it? This is not mere theoretical criticism : there is t practical disadvantage arising from this higgledy-pig gledy, faahiou of making out the estimates. The estimates ought to present a tabular liar of what each department of the state costs. Parliament would thus be enabled to compare what is paid with the amount, efficiency, and importance of the services received in return. It is only thus that parliament can ascertain whether we are governed economically or in a needlessly expensive manner. We freely admit that " cheap government" and "low-priced government" are not neces sarily synonymous terms. Cheap government is the "best possible government at the lowest price for which such a quality can be had. Until the estimates are framed in such a fashion as to show what services are provided for under each department, and what is pmd for them, it is im possible to say whether we are cheaply governed or the reverse. The colonial expenses provided for in the chapter of the miscellaneous estimates which has suggested these remarks are as follows : the civil establish ments (in whole or in part) of the West African set tlements, Western Australia, Port Essington (de funct), New Zealand, Heligoland, the Falkland Islands, Hong Kong, Labuan, the Bahamas, Ber muda, St. Helena, and Prince Edward's Island; the clergy of North America; the Indian department of Canada; the governors of M. West India Islands; the stipendiary justices in the West Indies and Mau ritius ; and emigration. Heligoland and St. Helena belong to the same class of dependencies as Malta, Gibraltar, and Ascension, for the cost of which we must consult the army, navy, and ordnance estimates. For the expense of the home administration of the colonies we must refer to the chapter of the miscella neous estimates, in which the votes for the secretaries of state and their establishments are included. No. V. conveys a defective notion even of the mere civil expenditure for the colonies. It leaves us utterly in the dark as to what the colonies really cost us. It is clear, however, even from this imperfect esti mate, that this country has long been paying annually considerable sums of money for purposes which ought, in strict justice, to be defrayed by the colo nies. This year's estimate for the clergy of North America is 7,677/. ; this is less by 3,5301. than the estimate of last year; still, it is exactly 7,677!. too much, for surely the good people of Canada ought to support their own clergy. The entailing of this expenditure on the mother country is the more intolerable that all the time the Canadian clergy have had their "clergy reserves." Again, the estimate for the Indian department of Canada is 13,660/. This is to be spent upon presents and other gratuities to the Indians and the agency for distri buting them. Now, these presents and gratuities have been awarded chiefly as compensation for ces sions of territory made by the Indians. But the ungranted waste lands of the colony have been handed over to the colonists : they who enjoy them ought to pay the incumbmnces upon them. The vote for stipendiary magistrates in the West Indies and the Mauritius has already been adverted to. It amounts this year to 36,0751. It was a fair charge upon this country in the transition epoch from slavery to freedom, when these magistrates were in fact honorary spies upon the planters ; but the transition period having passed, they arc no longer required for that purpose, and if the colonists wish to retain their services as magistrates, let them pay for them. It is true that these items of expenditure appear to be undergoing a yearly diminution, and that fair pro mises are being made that they will be ultimately abolished. But the period of their extinction seems to approach with slow and uncertain footsteps. If government is not closely watched, they may be per petuated long enough. The vote for New Zealand is 20,0001. This is in addition to the local revenue. Now as the local revenue amounts to no less than 52,969/. ; and as the number of settlers in New Zealand does not ex ceed 12,000, it really appears that, by reducing the government expenditure to what is really neces sary, the country might be saved this 20,000!. We know that the resident colonists are of this opinion. The Falkland Islands, with their police and gaols, and colonial secretaries, and surveyors for the use of the wild cattle there, are to cost us 5,000/., a most preposterous sum. And Labuan, the settlers on which are still counted by scores, is to cost 5,500/., of which 2,3001. is for a governor and a lieutenant governor, the island having for the greater part of last year been administered by the surveyor without the aid of either functionary, and without any dis advantage being felt from their absence. There is one entry in No. V. which shows the use government makes of its confused and unsystematic arrangement of the miscellaneous estimates. The total of this section shows a decrease as compared with 18Zt0 of 16,8941. Government will, of course, point to this sum as proving its economy. But looking to the vote fir captured negroes, we find that it is proposed to increase it from 30,0001. to 60,000!. The additional 30,000/. is to pay for expenses in curred in excess of the estimates of 1848, '49, and '5O. Government has for three years been spending more , than it had any right to do, and is now smuggling through a vote for its unwarranted outlay under the cloak of reduced estimates. There are other points in the curious document we have been dissecting equally entitled to attention with those we have touched. Enough, however, has been said to put financial reformers in parliament on their guard, if they have any desire to discharge their duty. But to confess the truth, we expect to see ere long all these item voted without challenge after midnight. THERE was inonrDublin news letter some days ago, a -port, and apparently uninteresting, or at least very ordinary piece of intelligence, which ran thus: The case of "Heenan against Clements," for the amount I of a bill of exchange for 1,0001., which was alleged to be a for g ery, and relative to which prosecutions have been brought and contradictory verdicts returned in London andl Dublin, was settled yesterday by an agreement in court, the plaintiff accepting, it is understood, 801. as part of the bill. Involved, however, in the legal proceedings so ter minated lies as singular and painful a miscarriage of justice as has of late years occurred. It is one to which, in the course of last summer, after the re sult of the first trial of the above case was known, the attention of the Home-office was called both by a distinguished member of the House of Commons and by this journal. Without, however, any effect; for then the scruples of an Irish judge, equally un necessary and unfounded, as events have proved, were allowed to predominate over the obvious facts which had been established. But as now there is proof quite irresistible that an innocent man has been con victed of felony, and is now suffering the penalty known as transportation, we cannot lose a day in re directing Sir GEORGE GREY'S consideration to the case of Lswis JOEL. --- It can hardly be forgotten that this young man, being a Jew and a jeweller in Dublin, was also a money lender. In all three characters he appears to have had extensive pecuniary intercourse with some of the junior officers of the 13th Light Dragoons, when stationed in the Irish metropolis. Though ) I generally a regiment of high character, it had I nevertheless a few .cape--graces and amongst them way Lieut. Jonx MARCUS CLEMENTS, the inheritor of a good Irish fortune. IVhilet under age, Mr. CLEMENTS greatly exceeded the allowance his guardians made him; and had exten sive transactions in rings, chains, watches, diamonds, and money with Mr. LEWIS JOEL, the money lender of his regiment, who though almost as juvenile as! Mr. CLEMENTS himself, knew how to profit by his contemporary's follies. Such dealings with Jews, jewellers, and usurers always issue in hills of ex change loosely given, carelessly renewed, rarely met when due, and seldom well understood by I the military acceptor. And all this accumulation of I "paper" appears to have characterised the connexion of Mr. Ctv-isr.Nrs with JOEL the Jew. That connexion and Mr. CLEMENTS'S fo..ies very natura-y endedi n emoarraasments so great, that his guardian, a London banker, came to his rescue, com pelled him to sell out of the 13th, and retire from his creditors until a lawyer, named PutmAN, could settle his affairs, by reducing the nominal and paying the real liabilities of Young Hopeful. Amongst others, JOEL was called on for his claim this he sent in, omitting, however, in it an acceptance for 1,0001. ; which he afterwards added. And it is about the bill so omitted, and subsequently put forward, that jus tice has miscarried. This acceptance, by a conatenation of circum stances, strongly illustrative of some of the dangers of Irish banking, got into the possession of the London and Dublin plank. That company had, it seems, a branch at Parsonstown ; and the clerk, or manager there, instead of transacting his employers' business, commenced, with th e i r funds, a banking business of his own ; and, amongst other people, with LEWIS JoEL. He lent JOEL money, and JOEL gave him a lien on bills he had, including this bill for 1,000/. In due course this roguery was dis covered; the rogue decamped to where all rogues go, America, and the company received from JOEL this acceptance on the security of which he had got their money. When, however, it was becoming due, Mr. CLEMENTS declared it to be a forgery ; JoEL was apprehended ; tried at the Central Criminal Court in January, 1830 ; was convicted principally on the evidence of Mr. CLEMENTS and his guardian, which was deemed so insufficient to con vict by JOEL'S counsel that he, having made an effec tive speech, declined to call witnesses; and by Mr! Justice TALFOTRD sentenced to transportation ; he, to the last, protesting his innocence. With this somewhat strong and decided stigma on the bill, the bank was, however, after due inquiry, dissatisfied ; and, believing in its genuine ness, proceeded against Mr. CLEMENTS to recover its amount. The action was tried before Mr. Justice BALL and a special jury in Dublin last summer; the trial lasted three days ; every point was desperately fought for the defendant, but so strong was the testi mony as to the signature being Mr. CLEMENTS'S that a verdict establishing that fact passed for the plain tiffs. And it was on this verdict that Mr. BRIGIIT appealed to Sir GEORGE GREY for a pardon for JOEL, and that we brought the subject under public con sideration. Sir GEORGE GREY, principally in consequence of Mr. Justice BALL'S report, at that time declined to interfere. Subsequently Mr. CLEMENTS applied for s and obtained a new trial, chiefly on the ground that the bank had not sufficiently proved themselves holders for value. And last week the action was again tried. Mark the result. The bank had strengthened their case where it was weak, by exa mining, under a commission, the scamp in America who had, at Parsonstown, misappropriated their funds; and Mr. CLEMENTS, by his counsel, volun tarily consented to a verdict on this bill, to which, on JOEL'S trial, he had sworn his signature was a forgery, for the sum of 8301., that amount being 100/. in excess of the former verdict against him, and costs. It is, of course, impossible, after this admission of Mr. CLF:MENTS and his advisers that the bill for 1,000/., on which JOEL was convicted of felony, was, not a forgery, that JOEL'S conviction can stand. Sir GEORGE GREY cannot now refuse to recommend JOEL to the Qv EN for the pardon of an offence which, it is now clear, he never committed. That per son must now be liberated and restored to his family free from the taint of forgery ; though nothing, of course, can compensate him for the wrong done him, for the misery he has endured, for the infamy inflicted on him—all of which might eight months ago have been terminated had the supervision of justice been as prompt as the administration of the law was severe in his case. We claim, however, no exaggerated sympathy for the unfortunate Mr. JOEL; nor are we going to press heavily or unfairly the facts as at last established by himself against Mr. CLEMF:NTS. It is charitable to suppose that Mr. CLEMENTS was only mistaken when he disclaimed on his oath the signature to the bill, and that the correction of this mistake has only gradually beamed upon him. But he owes it to his own character, to society, and to the unhappy victim of his misapprehension and temporary misbelief, to be foremost in procuring the discharge of Jori. and in re-establishing to this extent the reputation of that person, otherwise inferences most unfavourable to Mr. CLEMENTS will be drawn from the whole affair. The world has no love of usurers, especially when not Christian. But the common safety of every in dividual is interested in amending the law under which Joel. has suffered, and is still suffering. If Ihe be released, it will be by royal pardon of a crime the has not committed; and of his conviction for an offence of which he was innocent, there are no le , gal means in England for the reversal. This is a serious want —one, perhaps, which I.Ewts JOEL the money-lender's sufferings may happily tend to supply. The circumstances under which the bill was brought forward were suspicious, and the cha racter which JOEL had acquired, in consequence of his numerous money-lending transactions with inex perienced youths, must have militated against him.

WE reprint, in another column, a notable letter from the steward of Earl FITZHARDINGE to his , te nants, which has got into print, and affords a strik ing illustration of the anomalous character of the relations existing between English landowners and their tenants, and of the present state of opinion of those important classes. The letter is a circular ad dressed to each tenant individually, and informs him that a sum named will be returned to him out of the half-year's rent due on the 6th of April. This is in terms applicable to the current half-year's rent only; and from the explanation of the abatement given we scarcely understand whether the rent is to be per manently reduced, or whether the sum now thrown back is to be deemed a temporary deduction to meet a present depression. steward says : " This is considered by the practical men whom his lordship has consulted to be a fair and reasonable abatement from the landlord towards meeting the difficulties arising from the present de_ pressed state of agriculture. It is undoubtedly fair and right that the landlord should be called upon to contribute his share towards meeting the present de pression; he has now done so and lam authorised to state that should prices fall lower, future abate ments will from time to time be made, to equalise the rents on this estate, and for the future relief of all such as may hereafter be able to prove that they have reasonable grounds for complaint." The abatement in each case seems, therefore, to have been made upon the advice of practical men with reference to the special circumstances of each farm; and as a subsequent passage in the letter, by ! inference, at all events, attributes the depression to free trade, we apprehend that the reduction of rent is to be a permanent one. So far the principle on which it is made is just. The landlord conceives that his tenants have taken their farms upon the assumption that they could obtain certain prices for their produce, and that from a gene ral cause beyond their own control prices have fallen, and therefore he considers the case of each tenant, and makes such an abatement of rent as he is advised is fair and reasonable. All, how ever, is done of the mere motion of the landlord. There is not a trace of the existence of a contract between landlord and tenant. Whether the abate ment made is or is not " fair and reasonable," whether the advice on which, and the data frotn ../ ' - got court.

MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. TiN 0 O'CLOCK. The English stock market has been very firm to-day, and prices have ruled at an advance of k per cent. since yesterday. Attention having of late been nria directed to the partial drain of the stock of bullion in the Bank of England, the large increase which, in accordance with our anticipations, appears in last night's return, is received with corresponding satis faction. The speedy turn of the tide, however, has been consistently predicted by us, notwith standing the vague assertions of an adverse balance of trade, and consequent prolongation of the drain, which have been perseveringly indulged in in some quarters. We have furtke alluded to the upward movement of the exchanges, which are now rising, both here and i n most of exchang es, European markets. Consols have been steady all day at 97Z to 98 for money, being a rise of , as compared with yester day's closing price. For the 10th June they h ave touched 984, but are now a shade weaker at 98. Nono of the home stocks have been more than slightly dealt in, except the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,in which rather more than an average number of transactions has occurred. The official statement reports business as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, 98, 974 ; ditto for account, 984. Three per Cent. Reduced, 'J7: I 'flirce-and-a-Quiwter per Cents., 98;, :i.

Railway shares opened a shade lower to-day, in consequence of reported failures in the share market at Liverpool, but prices soon rallied, and have since been firmly maintained, the present range being in many instances rather better than at the close of yesterday's market. The settlement of the Limon having been completed, rather more disposition to operate is manifested, and business has been rather more active than is usual on a Saturday. The ftilu•e, in this market arc, in all, four in number (one more having been declared yesterday afternoon), but it ii generally considered that the arrangements have passed off quite as well as could be expected under the circumstances.

The amount of business in the Colonial market this week has been very limited, and at the same time prices have been unsatiqUetory to the importers. For Sugar there has been but little demand, and, although only small sales have been held, prices fully 6d. below thosecurrent last week have been established. The Coffee sales have gone off very heavily, and, even at a reduction of 2s. per cwt. but little has been sold. The Tea market is very flat, and the chief business of late has been the execution of export orders. TALLOW MARKET.—THIS DAY. The market is steady to-day, with but little doing. There is, however, more inquiry for New Y. C. Prices range as follows :—Town T.illow, 3.51. to 355. ed.; Petersburg Y.C. on the spot, 375. 9d. to 38s. ; last three mouths, 38s. 9d. to 395.

The public sales of Colonial and other Wool, which have been in progress during the week, continued to command a large attendance of buyers, and good prices me maintained, though the quotations are scarcely so high as they were. Owing to the great quantity offered, the sale ap proximates in feature to the summer sales, when the heavy clips generally lead to sonic dulness before the auctions are elo For English wool trade continues only moderately active, without any alteration in prices.
