THIS D.Y. Four o'Clock. EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE. A reference to another page will inform our readers that the Daily News has succeeded, through the in defatigable agency of Lieut. Waghorn, in achieving another triumph over the " Combined London Press." When the difficulties with which J.ieut. Waghorn has had to contend upon this as upon all former occasions ' —the deplorable insufficiency of the steam-power at his disposal between Alexandria and 'Trieste, and the nature of his arrangements for conveyance from the latter port to England—as yet to some extent ne cessarily immatured—there cannot be a doubt that he has, in the present instance, established the supe riority of the Trieste route, and that too in the depth of a winter of unusual severity. We have pleasure in publishing the annexed communication from Lieut. Waghorn, adding that, at the time of going to press, nothing has becu heard of the express by way of Marseilles.

THE. GREAT BRITAIN.—KILLOUGH, JAN. 28. Since the first of January the wind has been dead into Dun drum Bay—generally from the south-east, and never farther to the westward than south-west. Before these winds set is the greatest exertions were made, under the direction of Captain Claxton, lt.N., to carry out Mr. Brunel's plan of laying faggots (as recommended in his published report) ►t the stern and (parter, which are the points most exposed to the tremendous sea that, in gales such as have prevailed, set into the Bay of Dundrum. Few have been the occasions that the work of faggotting, since the first of the year, could be gone on with —at least so we are informed by the poor people on the coast, who have been looking cut for work ; but great success appears to have attended the 'plan of placing poles all round the steamer's stern—origmally, we are told, placed to hold down the faggots, with elision attached, and to them, some 30 or 40 in number, we observed the men at work, Sting cross poles of lir, many of which we saw going on board. We were bid that upwards of 2,000 large bundles of faggots were laid, and wo saw the ship bad a great number on board, and on shore the bank was crowded with them. On Saturday and Sunday last the sea, at high water, broke over the devoted ship as high so her most-heads; but, notwith standing this, the officers and men on board experienced no uneasiness, and tLe ship was not shaken as heretofore. While this iron ship has withstood gale upon gale, in the most exposed bay, and situated on a bed of rocks, ships of wood, similariy circumstanced, have gone to pieces after a few hours' beating. The protecting plan seems thoroughly to have answered ; but what is to be the next move ? IN'elery Telegraph. COMMERCIAL e f MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Half -past Two.—The Daily News, ea usual, came out eseusi,.ly this morning with its courier in antici patio's of the overland mail from India.

At our market this morning we had • good show of Wheat front the country, and front the coast the arrivals are also to a fair extent ; but, from the dull report from Mark lane, the trade was in a state of perfect stagnation, millers refusing to purchase, whilst the factors, on the other hand, declined to submit to any lower rates, from an impression that the present pause must prove of merely a temporary character. In Flour, from the came cause, few transactions transpired, and the probability I. the supply now at the quay will have to be landed. In other articles little passing.

Uood Beef woo sold at 62,c1., and a few prime Sheep met with buyers, at 7d. to 74d. A very few mil& Cows were on sale. The Horse fair was thinly attended. - - - Exrren, Fen. 2.-This was as fine a market of Beef es has been seen for a considerable time. Indeed, not only was the quantity very large, but there was a number of well-made-up and perfectly proof Bullocks shown. There was also a supply greatly execscling the demand, and the ownzrs of many rime articles not being disposed to yield in price, took their goo's home again. In fact, business in this respect throughout the morning was dull. The quotation for such fat Bullocks as were seal this morning was from 48s. to 56e. W. per cwt., or from Ss. Gd, to Os. 9d. per score. Of butchers' Calves, as regards numbers, there was a larger supply than of late. These, however, varied greatly in quality and condition, and the primer article a again fetched 6 id. perlb. The quotation in this way being from Gd. to M. perlb. With respect to Sheep these were in lair supply, and thout at first not on any very brisk sale, yet by the cline a great part ad been cleared out, and this certainly with an entire support of prices. The quotation for fat Sheep must be stated at from 6d. to near upon, if not full 7d. per lb. In keeping Sheep there was come trifling business doing, at from 275. to 30s. each. With respect to Cows and Calves, there sas nothing extra ordinary in the show. The quotation, however, may be taken at from 91. to about 161. 10s., or from 41s. to about Gls per cwt., or from is. 3d. to 9s. 14d. per score. In store cattle there was not much business done, and this principally for the better and more forward description of stock, which certainly were bettor articles of sale than stock literally in a pow state. Good descriptions in something of this state so to condition , may be spo ken of generally at Irom 40s. to 425. per cwt., or from 7s. to /s. Gd. per score. To give the entire quotation, however, for store cattle, we must come down as low as 325. 3d. per cwt., or Is. 9d. per score. The quotation for these poor descriptions, with little business doing, being from 325. 34.1. to 37a. 6d. per cwt., or from Gs. 9•1. to 6s. Gd. per score. GLASGOW, Few 1.-There was a short supply of Cattle at market this morning, and those brought forward met a ready sale, at the following advanced quotations : best Beef, per at., of 2211 b. sinking the offal, 101.

The commissioners of railways had prepared a measure which was now under the consideration of the government, and included, amongst its other provi ...ions, clauses for causing a preliminary inquiry and report on the uteri aof railway scheme.. The measure would be sub mitted to the h.. se were shortly. (Hear, hear.) CLASSIFICATION COMMUTER. On the motion of Mr. taraurr, the classification committee of railwa3 bills was nominated as folloas :—Mr. Wilson Pstteu, Lord Courtenay, Sir Robert Ferguson, Sir John Pakington, aud Lord Dalmeny. IMPRISONMENT OF LABOURERS FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that petitions ofWilliam Prowling Roberts, Jane Gerrard, Ellen Wvke, Margaret Ireland, and Ellen Dobson (presented god of . F..bruary), be print.d with the sotes.—Agreed to. SUNDAY RAILWAY TRAVELLING. Mr. HUME moved for a copy of the resolutions and orders of every railway coropsay where the travelling on Sunday has been stopped wholly or partially, so as to show the accommodation afforded for travelling to the public generally, and to the post-office especially, on that day.— Agreed to. The boo. member said it was his intention to propose a measure on the subject, if the government did not take it cp. MILLBANK PRISON. Mr. M. GORE moved that the report made to her Majesty by Mr. Escou, a member of this house, oa the state of Mill bank Prison, be laid Lcfore this house. Sir G. GREY repeated his statement on a former night —namely, that two of the three commissioners having signed a report, it was not competent fur the hon. member for Winchester to present another report signed only by himself, the proper form tor him to adopt being to put his ob servations in the shape of a letter, and when that had been done, it should be laid before the house. It was not neces. airy for him to alter a word of his report, but only its form. Mr. ESCOTT thought that, in obedience to the commis sion, he was bound to make a report ; and he believed that the two noble lords who had sent in a report had not pre pared it in a formal and regular manner. Mr. T. BUNCOMBE said it was in conformity with prac tice, precedent, and the commands of her Majesty that a sepa rate report should be made. That course was adopted by Sir F. Palgrave on a similar occasion. It was immaterial to the public whether the information came to them by letter or report, but he himself thought it better that it she uld come by report. Mr. ROEBUCK mid that from the construction of the words of the commission one commissioner, dissenting from the opinions of the other two, might lay his own views be fore her Mejetty, with his seal and signature attrched thereto, though he could not do other things apart from them. Mr. F. MAULE thought the house was arguing unlit a =attend' little muss urns. lie thought that a report made by the majority was to be considered the report of the commis sioners. In the case of the Scotch poor inquiry, Mr. Tes isle ton, who dissented from the report of his brother commis sioners, recorded his dissent at the conclusion of that report, and furnished the reasons of that dissent to the Secretary of State. If the hon. member for Winchester had taken that course the public would be in possession of the information they required. The motion was then withdrawn. MILITARY STATISTICS. Mr. HUME wished to know from the right lion. gentle man the Secretary at War whether any arrangements had been made for continuing the military statistics originally prepared by Col. Tulloch. They were of great importance in enabling government to select places favourable to the health of the troops. Re also wished to know whether he had netived from India those returns connected with the troops in India, which had been ordered two yean ago ? Mr. F. MAULE said he was not aware whether the returns from India had been received, but he would make inquiries at the War.ofllee. With respect to the statistical returns to which the hon. gentleman alluded, he was afraid that Col. Tulloch could not spare time from his other occu pations to continue them, though he knew that Col.Tidbxh was most anxious to do so. The house adjourned at a quarter-past one. SUGAR.—A return of the amount of duty received on sugar from sth April, 1846, to 6th January, 1847, has been issued with the 's otes. The total receipts during that period were 3,067,94111. Of this there was paid upon sugar, the produce of British possessions, not equal to white-cloyed (duty 14s. per cwt.), 2424,202 L, and upon sugars from the same places, equal to white-cloyed (duty lfes. 4d. per cwt.), 22,8791.

The House of Commons commenced its morning sittings for the session yesterday. On the motion of Mr. STRUT; serious resolutions were adopted with reference to the proceedings to be observed for ths future with respect to the progress of railway bill The Classification Committee was appointed. A Mit.. versation ensued on the subject of Mr. Escon's dis sentient report on the Millbank Prison, Mr. F. MAUL= intimating that if the disventient commissioner bad appended his separate report to thatof the concurring cow.mivi,ioners, it would have been, as that now was, before the public. We believe there is no longer any doubt that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has conceded to the real or supposed wants of the church the appointment of four new bishops. All religious patties are so much in the habit of repeating, as a religious duty, the current cry of the day, without considering how far it ex presses their real opinions, that we have always re ceived with considerable calmness the representations of the church party of late years, as to the argent necessity of the proposed augmentation. It is very possible that new bishops may be useful; but we can not help doubting whetter r those who call mot earnestly than their appointment really wish for it more than they wish for a change of government at Ave or iehatmandoo. An orthodox churchman, resident in North Wales, lately confessed to us the decay of his enthusiasm for the preservation of the see of St. Asaph. Sharing the indignation which, as be was assured, was telt by all around him, at the intended spoliation of the principality, he attended a county meeting to petition for the main tenance of the see. There was the high-sheriff ready to take the chair, and there was the county member ready to give expression to the wrath of his constitu ents, and lastly, there was, we believe, our informant himself, to represent the assembled "shire." Whe ther resolutions were passed by the three patriot% and a petition adopted, we do not remember ; but one at least of them rode home with the reflection that those who had staid away were not very anxious about the bishopric, and that, perhaps, c after all, he was much of the same mind himself.. We give Lord JOHN RUSSELL fall credit for a sincere wish to promote the efficiency of the eats blishment by increasing the number of its dignitaries. As the requisite endowments will, of course, be provide d out of the property of the church, the only question to be considered is, whether any available surplus might not be better disposed of among the lower ranks of the clergy. The right of the new prelates to seats in the I hem of Lords is of little prae tical importance, and probably the government has judged e idly in avoiding any irritation, which might have been excited by an increase of the number of spiritual peers. It has generally been assumed on al bands, that bishops are not to exercise their legislative power on the same principles as temporal lords. They:are expected to be silent on important occasions, and to express strong feelings about trifles. On • question of war and peace, involving the honour and conscience of the country and the physical and moral interests of millions, • bishop is ex p‘,.e.d to profess an inability to Judge of matters so toreign to his profession. It is only when a form has been neglected, an irreverent phrase used in a public document, or Juggernaut, or the Pope me ntioned without a protest against their doctrines, diet the right reverend bench delivers itself of indignation, which it probably does not feel, for the benefit of a house, that likes to see harmless morali ties protected by the clergy; just as men like in women a regard for petty scruples and minute deco rums, which they do not hesitate to transgi ma them selves. The more crafty prelates encourage the dis position to regard them as something between legisla tors and old women, from the undisturbed authority which they derive from it in their own department. As churchmen must have a voice in church matters, it is highly convenient to them to establish the role that their own language, and consequently the language of all ecclesiastical discussions, shall be con structed on different rules from those which govern ordinary controversies—that they may say more and mean less than statesmen, without offend ing. public feeling. When others less bent on their professional interest!, and more awake to the degradation of a false position, take • part in public questions like public men, some peer is always ready to warn them that they are transgressing the received conventionalities of the house, that bishops had better say nothing, but any rate not what they think. In this state of things we do not greatly regret the absence from parliament of the four new bishope, nor should we much-fear their presence. In their dioceses they may be more efficient for good or harm ; but we must guard ourselves against any extravagant or un mixed hopes of benefit. " The only objection to episco pacy," we haveheerd a strong Tory in church and state observe, " is that it involves biehope." Without going so far, we mast confess our fear that the ideal bishop described by SIDNEY SMITH, in his post humous pamphlet, has not yet appeared in England. Some are negligent and many are o ffi cious; some display in their treatment of the clergy a degree of discontent unknown in other professions, and are, perhaps, at the same time, unduly submissive to rank and power. Almost all are timidly anxious to conci liate public opinion, and incapable of distinguishing what that opinion really is. Tile transient dogmas of a narrow circle command from them a deference *Melt is intended for the judgment of the world et large, and to which even that judgment is not impli citly entitled. There is no charge against bishops more unfounded than the complaint that they despise public opinion. They only respect it too much. That they do not obey it is a fact which arises from their mistaking it. Many an accused clergyman has been wrongfully sentenced for fear the world should think that his diocesan connived at immorality. We believe, however, that the episcopal class, like other classes, is improving. Some of our readers may recollect the model bishop of 30 years ago, who gave audiences to his clergyou condition that they knocked at the back-door of his palace, and manifested a becoming reverence for his person. At long intetvals his coach, with its four black long-tailed horse., tra versed the diocese, striking awe into the minds of children who had to undergo confirmation. In festive moments lie would, perhaps, so far unbend as to show to sonic admiring vicar the silver trowel with which the Regent had perhaps condescended to lay the first stone of some church which he patronised. His first thought was his own greatness ; his second, a reverence for all who were still greater ; his third, a condescend ing wish for the religious prosperity . of his diocese. The next generation of bishops is still among us. The newspapers have made it more active, the reli gious controversies of the day have made it far lees self.contented and determined. When Sir ROBERT I'EEL determined on breaking up the separate sacred ness of benefice', and commencing a re-distribution of the property of the church, he met with little resist ance, because his actual changes and those of his suc cessors were moderate, and it was chiefly a principle that was at stake. The Pueeyite disputes are the greatest reproach to the present episcopal bench. Some opposed the innovations on the mere Protestant hypothesis, which however Pound, could in no way tend to influence those who had commenced by re nouncing it—others far more blameable countenanced the folhes and fopperies of the Anglo-Catholics, either because they tended to aggrandise the hierarchy, or because they enjoyed a partial and ephemeral popularity. When surplices and wax-candles were in fashion, they encouraged I' , r
