LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, 5 P.M. A very decided improvement took place to-day in the money market, where securities in general under went a rise. The Threes closed at 421, An impression which prevails that the railway project will be accomplished by delivering to the share holders Five per Cent Stock in exchange for their interest, and that the market will therefore be inundated with that description of security, has had an unfavourable effect on that stock, and has prevented them from partaking of the general im provement. Th , y closed to-day at yesterday's prices. The directors of the railway companies are con voked for this evening, to receive the propositions of the minister of finance for the appropriation of the several lines. It is scarcely probable, however, that any definite arrangement will be arrived at, nor even that the representatives of the companies will be brought to an agreement without farther time for consideration and discussion. I shall proba bly, however, be able to inform you by the mid-day mail of to-morrow what the proposals of the govern ment are. _ . . As I anticipated, a very favourable effect has been produced by the publication of the list of candidates recommended by the Central Committee of Paris for the Constituent Assembly. It is not that an expectation exists that this list will be rurally adopted, but there is something approach tag to a moral certainty that the assembly which will isue from the ballot-box will not be inferior in any of the qualities commanding public confidence to that recommended by the Central Democratic Committee of Paris. ..... -.-. A report prevails to-day that General Duvivier. commandant of the Guard Mobile, will be named MEister of War, and Captain Lafond de Lurey, known as the author of some maritime works, Minis ter of Marine. It is also said that, before the meeting of the assembly, M. Gamier Pages will be replaced in the ministry of finance by one of the Paris bankers. We read in the Prom : '. It is believed that the ateliers of the national workmen will amount to 75,000 individuals before the end of the month dApril ; and, at the rate of 1 francs 50 cents. pa day, they will cause en expense of 112,00 francs per day, or 3,37d,000 francs per aonth. It appears that M. Louis Blanc and M. Emile lbomas have themselves allowed that it will be im poesible for the state to continue such expenses, unless the works undertaken be really useful and profitable. In consequence, measures are at present being taken to ascertain the trade of each workman, in order to ekes them. Vast workshops for all kin ds of trades see to be immediately organised. The workmen smistorned to out-door labour will probably be sent to the railways in course of construction." The following address has just been presented to the Provisional Government, by a deputation from the republic of Venice :—" It is not in the language of the old diplomacy that we shall coin teem in addressing to the French republic our haternal acknowledgments. It has pitied our mis lottnnes, felicitated our regeneration, promised as a support from which we have much to hope and nothing to fear. The time of usurping interven tions is past, and it could not be a dangerous assist- Lee which comes from a country where Lamartine is minister. Venice is full of reminiscences of the ancient relations of Italy with France—a city wasthen elitlal to a kingdom—times have changed, but the ideas and the sentiment are, perhaps, only more pure and mom noble. The unhappy know how to love; it is ,acwartinies well to have been oppressed, in order the wter te feel what real greatness is. We offer up our Payers for the prosperity of the glory of France.

His son Ferdinand has offered his set vices to the cease of Italian liberty. Rown.—The official Gazette of Rome contains the following address from Pius IX. to the populations of Italy. It is dated the 30th ult.: The events which during the last two noodle succeed each other so rapidly are not a human work. Woe to him who, in this tempest where the cedar and the twig are alike agi. tated and torn from their roots, listens not to the voice of the Lord ! Woe to human pride if it attribute* to the faith or the merit of a few men those wonderful changes, in place of adoring the secret designs of Providence, whether they be manifested by the ways of jostle° or by the way, of mercy— of that Providence in whose bands are the ends of the earth! And we, to whom the word is given to interpret the mute eloquence of the works of God, cannot keep silence in the midst of the desires, fear,, and hopes which agitate the hearts of our children. And, first o! all, we ought to tell you that if our heart has been moved in learning how in a part of Italy great misfortunes have been prevented by the efforts of religion, and how the noble feelings of the mind hove been revealed in acts of charity, we cannot, however, but be profoundly afflicted by the offences committed in other places to the ministers of that same religion. And even were we to remain silent relative to these facts, our silence could not effect that they would not diminish the efficacity of our be nedictions. We cannot either dispen se with informing you that to make a good use of victory is more difficult than to conquer. If the present time reminds you of another period of your history, at least let the faults of your forefathers be useful to their descendant. Remember that all stability and all prosperity depend on concord ; that God alone is He who renders the inhabitants of the same house unanimous; that God accords that blessing only to humility, to mildness, to respect for his laws in the liberty of his church, in the order of society, in charity towards men. Remember that justice alone builds up—that passions destroy, and that He who ie the King of Kings is also Lord of Nations. May our prayers go up before the Lord, and briog down on you that spirit of counsel, of force, sod wisdom of which the fear of Gad is the beginning, in order that our eyes may behold peace in all this laud of Italy ! If in our universal charity for the whole catholic world we cannot call it the most dear, God has, however, ordered that it should be nearer to us than any other. THE SECRET PORTFOLIOS OF LOUIS PHILIPPE. THE SPANISH MARRIAGES. The following i is the substance of one of the docu ments, pub li shed n the Revue Retrospective, found in two portfolios left by Louis Philippe at the 'Tuileries : From Louis Philippe to the Queen of the Belgians : " Neuilly, September 14, 1846, " My dearest Louise , — The queen has just received a letter, or rather a reply from Queen Victoria, to the one you know she had written to her, and that reply greatly grieves me. I am inclined to believe that our good little queen was as sorry to write such a letter as I was to read it. But she now only wee *lags through the spectacles of Lord Palmerston, and those spectacles distort and disfigure them too often. This is quite natural. The great difference between the spectacles of the ex cellent Aberdeen and those of Lord Palmerton proceeds from the difference of their dispositions. Lord Aberdeen wished to be well with his friend' ; Lord Palmerston, I fear, wishes to quarrel with them. This is, my dear Louise, what caused my alarm respecting the maintenance of our cordial undemanding, when Lord Palmerston resumed the direction of the Foreign-offloe. Oar good Queen Victoria sought to dispel those alarms, and assured me that there would only be a change of men. But my old experience induced me to apprehend that, through the influence of the disposition of Lord Palmerston, much more perhaps than his intentions, the political system of England would undergo a modifica tion, gradually or sudden, and unfortunately the a ff airs of Spain have afforded en opportunity." The letter then proceeds to state the often-repeated desire of Queen Christina for the marriage of her two daughters with the Dukes d'Aumale and ldontpensier, together with the refusal of the King of the French to comply, on the ground that the husband of the Queen of Spaiu ought to be chosen among the prince descendants of Philip V., in the male line, which would exclude the then reigning family of Franc.; and that when there was "good chance" that the infanta should not become queen, then that a marriage be tween her and the Duke de Montpensier might be concluded " The prince descendents of Philip V. then marriageable," the letter goes on to say, " were the three sons of Don Carlos, two eons of Don F rancisco de Paula, two Princes of Naples, and a Prince of Lucca. Lord Aberdeen at once declared that Count d'Aquila, brother of the King of Naples and of Queen Christina. would be the choice that presented least embarrassment. That prince having shortly afterwards married the Princess of Brazils, Dona Januarie, the pre ference of Queen Christina among those princes devolved on her younger brother, Count Trapani, and it is that (and not any personal preference on my part) which produced what has been called his ' candidature; of which so deplore ble a use has been since made. The marriage of the Infanta, who was only ten years old, was not then talked of, and one party was endeavouring to force me to consent to the mar riage of the Duke d'Aumale and the other to prevent it. It was amidst that struggle the project was started, no matter by whom, no matter how, to marry the Queen of Spain to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Ceburg, nephew to the King of the Belgians, cousin• German of Queen Victoria and of Prince Albert, brother to the King of Portugal, of the Duchess de Nemours, and of Prince Augustus, my son-in-law. " It was an unfortunate circumstance that such a candi date should have been proposed. It placed all parties in a false position, and me particularly, in consequence of the op. position which I thought it my duty to make to it, and I see according to the terms of the letter of Queen Victoria to what extent parties wore mistaken, and how unjust they were in their appreciation of the motives which suggested this orpo stion. Thou motives sprung as much from the sincere friend. ship which I bear the Princes of Coburg (rind of which I believe I have given them more than one proof in the part which I took to facilitate the new acquisitions of their house) as in the same political considerations which induced me to refuse to propose my own children. I was convinced, and I am still more than ever of that opinion, that if Prince Leopold had been the successful candidate, it would have brought misfortune on the head of this young prince, and likewise on that of the queen herself (had she married him), by produc ing the overthrow of their throne, and by plunging Spain into an anarchy from which it is always so difficult to pre serve her. _ " I will now speak to you of the marriage of Montpensier with the Infanta. There was not the slightest reference to it, either when Queen Victoria came to En, in 1843, or when I was at Windsor in 1844. It was only in the year 1845 that Lord Aberdeen spoke to Ouisot and me with regard tc it for the first time. Our reply was the same. I told Lord Aber deen that I much wished that Montpensier should marry the Infanta Louisa Ferdinand', but I ne more desired that he should wed Queen Louisa than Queen Isabella, and that he might even be assured that my son should not espouse the Infanta until the queen was married. Lord Aberdeen added, and when she shall have borne a child.' 'Be it so,' I replied. 'Be it so,' replied Lord Aberdeen. 'We are of the same opinion with you, that' the best which can be done is that the queen should select her husband from amongst the descendants of Philip V." The letter then complains that " however anxious Lord Aberdeen might be that his agents should act as honourably as he had done, their proceedings did not answer either his or our expectations. They had recourse to all expedients to malign Count Trapani. Those mini:rums, directed by the journals of the progressist party, who unfortunately have ever enjoyed the favour of the British agents in Spain, succeeded, in covering poor Trapani with real unpopularity. " All these maximums brought about that step to whieh Queen Christina allowed herself to be persuaded. A secret agent was despatched by her, bearing a letter from herself to the Duke of Coburg, for the purpose of demanding the hand of his cousin, Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, for the queen. her daughter. The openness of Lord Aberdeen's character induced him to give us immediate cognisance of this step, which had been concealed from us at Madrid, adding, at the same time, that neither Queen Victoria nor Prince Albert, nor her Majesty's government, would give any support or encouragement to the demand of Queen Christina. " Such was the state of things when Lord Aberdeen quitted the British Cabinet and was succeeded by Lord Pal merston. A very short time after his installation in the Foreign-office, Lord Palmerston made a communication to the Comte de Jarnac of the fresh instructions that he had despatched to Mr. Bulwer relative to the affairs of Spain. In these instructions Lord Palmerston confined to three the number of princes whose pretensions to the hand of the Queen of Spain, Isabella, England admitted ; that is to say —Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, Don Francisco d'Assis, Duke of Cadiz, Don Enrico, Duke of Seville. "The Comte de Jarnac was stupified upon seeing the name of the Prince of Coburg placed upon this list, and placed at the very top. He told Lord Palmerston that it was quite at variance with the assurances constantly given by Lord Aberdeen, and he required that this candidate should be struck out of the list. Lord Palmerston replied that it was utterly impossible in every way, since the instructions had been already sent; that, moreover, the measure having been adopted in the cabinet, he was unable to make any change in it alone, and that he was not disposed to propose any to the cabinet. " The rest of his instructions were not of a nature to be at all more satisfactory to us; their entire tendency went towards assuring the progressist party of the support of England. " Such instructions as these necessarily excited the most serious alarm in the palace of Madrid as soon as they were known. The consequence was, that all those who had been led to make the proposal to the Duke of Coburg, Queen Christina at their head, completely turned round, fearing the renewal of the progressist insurrection that had been but recently terminated in Griffiths, and had led to the ex pulsion of Don Enrico, and came over to us with the de mand for the immediate and simultaneous marriag of the queen with Don Francisco d'Asais and of the I n es hints with Montpensier. This simultaneity was not only the sin* quo non of Queen Christina for the reception of Don Fran cisco, whom she bad desired until then, but the desist of the ministry and of all Spaniards. " As soon as this change was known, the English agents, more th an a month after the instructions of Lord Palmer ston, which admitted as a candidate Prince Leopold of Coburg, made every effort to support the pretensions of Don Enrico. Nothing could be more untimely, since it was only too noto rious that Don Enrico was the chief, or rather the agent of all the different revolutionary parties ; and Lord Palm er. ston at once rendered those pretensions impossible by recom mending them in official documents. " It was not I, consequently, who first commenced or gave the example in deviating from our primary conventions. I only yielded to the necessities of the deviation commenced elsewhere, and quite contrary to my expectations. ~~-~~~~ Core% 507.] LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1848. [THREEPENCE. " This much explained, I will now sincerely state in what the deviation on my own side consisted. It consists in my arranging end bringing about the marriage of the Duke of Montpenaier, not before the marriage of the Queen of Spain, for she will be married to the Duke of Cadiz at the same time ens my son to the Infanta, but before the queen has • child. Thu is my only deviation—nothing more and nothing less. This fact I desire should be appreciated as it merits by entering into details which you will lay before Queen Victoria, as best you may he able. " In September, 184,5, when Lord Aberdeen spoke to me for the first time, at the Cnateau d'Eu, et the marriage of ldontpensier with the Infanta, Queen Isabella 11., although 15 years of age all but a month, was not marriageable ; and I can assert with all sincerity. that as long as this agate of the queen's health continued, it would 1/1•11 been, even with Lord Aberdeen's observations, a complete obstacle to the marriage of the Duke of Montpensier with the Infanta, her sister. But the queen became mar riageable in the the course of the winter; and she being, according to the assurance* that were given us, under tits most favourable circumstances for the mar riage state, nothing was left but to know whether the husband she might choose exhibited the beet condition of virility. It seemed to me to be certain, from all the infor mation, even of the most minute nature, taken upon this subject with regard to Don Eremitic, d'Assis, that he was in the required condition, and that consequently there was every probability united tor hopin* that their marriage would not be without issue. The difference between only waiting for the marriage of the queen with Dun Francisco d'Assis to celebrate that also of the Duke of Montpensier, and the waiting for the birth of their first child, is reduced now to the fact of two lives instead of one between the In fanta and the succession to the throne. " Nevertheless I may say with all sincerity that I would have preferred waiting for this birth had it not been proved to me that the consequence of this delay would be to cause the failure bosh of this marriage and the marriage of the queen with the Date of Cadiz, to continue in Spain that state of uncertainty and agitation which waste full of danger; ant finally, not only to render possible, but probable, and almost inevitable, those combinations which would have gives Queen Isabella in marriage either to Prince Leopold of Coburg, or to some other prince unallied to the descend ant* of Philip V., in opposition to the policy I had constantly announced and practised, and to the arrangements agreed upon between the English government itself and my own. " Under the present circumstaines, my dear good Louise, it is for Queen Victoria and her ministers to weigh the con sequences of the steps they intend to take, and the line of conduct they mean to pursue. On our side this double mar riage will effect in us no other change than such as we ma be oonstraitied to adopt by the new line which the English government may think fit to take up. There is no reason to fear any interterence on our part in the internal affairs of Spain. We have no interest in interference; and we are most decidedly determined to abstain from any. We shall con tinue religiously to respect its independence, and to take care, as far as depends upon ourselves, that it is air much respected by the other powers. We can see no interest and no motive, either on the part of England or our own, for • rupture of our entente cordiale-; and we see, on the contrary, the strong est for its maiuteoance. Such is my desire, such is that of my government. That which I request you to express on my behalf to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert is, that they should preserve me in their heart that friendship and confi dence to which it has been ever so agreeable to me to respond with the sincerest reciprocity, and which I have the anxious conviction never to have ceased to merit on their part." COMMERCIAL k MARKETS. MONEY MARKET Sr CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Clock.—So entirely absorbed are the mem bers of the Stock Exchange with the settlement of the account, that there is some difficulty in obtaining and following the course of prices. Consols were quoted soon after the commencement of business 821 for money, with stock still scarce for delivery. But this quotation has not been maintained. We have since had Consols down to 811 to 2 for next account, but they have now recovered so far as to 82 to / both for money and the account about to be opened. The cause chiefly assigned for this de cline from the higher rates current yesterday morning, is the improved and more formidable position of the Austrian army in Italy, as represented by the accounts this morning, and the apprehension, there fore, that in case of any check suffered by the Italian and Sardinian troops, the French Government would at once interfere, and march an army into Italy, and thus a war would be commenced, the end and extent of which it would be impossible to calculate. It is clear, however, that far too much importance is attached to the mere concentration of the dispersed corps of the Austrian army, seeing that, at the same time, the imperial government is reported to be nego elating with a view to the acknowledgment of the independence of Lombardy, on the primary condition that the new state should take upon itself some portion of the Austrian debt.

In the absence, from indisposition, of Mr. *Grath, the president of the National Charter Association, the chair was taken by Mr. Wilkinson, the delegate from Exeter. THE PROPOSED UNION WITH THE MIDDLE CLASSES. The adjourned debate wu resumed on Mr. Leech's re- Relation, that " this convention disapproves of any reso lution condemnatory of the middle clones as a body, knowing as we do that thousands of the general body of the people are tired of the present system of misgovernment, and equally anxious to get rid of its oppresnen ; and further, that this convention considers it to be its duty to conciliate all clams, and, as far as possible, to gain their support of those measures which the convention was assembled to promote." Mr. CLARKE supported the resolution, being fully con vinced that, as all the working classes did not give the con vention its support, they could not achieve the Charter without the aid sad co-operation of the middle classes. Mr. WEST did not believe that an association with the class which had established the Anti-Corn-law League would be likely to promote the objects the convention had in view. At the same time, he did not object to a union with the middle dance, provided it could be effected without any sur render of the principles of the people's charter. A long discussion followed, which terminated; in the adop tion of the resolution by a large majority. MISSIONARIES TO THE PROVINCES. Mr. Waseuta brought up the report of the committee which had been appointed to divide the country into districts, and allot to each the members of the Convention who should be sent down to prepare the people for the simultaneous meetings to be held on Good Friday. The report recom mended the division of England, Scotland, and Wales into eight districts, and that two delegates be sent to each. A long discussion arms on the question of the propriety of puffin* delegates to Ireland, and Mr. Kydd moved that a deputation from the Convention be sent to Ireland, to explain the principles of the People's Charter, and to invite the citizens of Ireland to send representatives to the approaching national assembly. After a debate, the motion was unanimously agreed to, and Messrs. M'Grath, Leach, and Kydd, were appointed the members of the deputation to Ireland. At one o'clock the Convention ajourned to three o'clock. The market wee rather dull Birk., Lone., k Cush. (311. oh.), Gi d Hud. C.R R., 74d Lane.and York. Fifths (w.a.tr.), If d Lon. &N.

It is understood that the usual official investigation having been made by the officers of the House of Commons, the fact has been disclosed that the number of signatures to the great Chartist petition, which, according to the state ment of Mr. F. O'Conner, amounted to between five and six millions, does sot exceed two millions, including ,those which are manifestly fictitious, as Queen Victoria, Lord John Russell, the Duke of Wellington. It is a most disgrace ful fact, for which, of course, the Chartists are not account able, that slang names appear in numerous instances, toge ther with words of vulgar and disgraceful import. CORN.-BASINGSTOKE, April 12.-The market wee thinly attended. A few samples of fine heavy white made 141.55. to 141. 10s. per load of 5 qrs.; good red, old and new, from 131. 10s. to 131. 15e. Flour, best, 445. per beg ; seconds, 40s. Barley in short supply ; finest chevalier made Is. per qr. more money. Oats with difficulty sustained the prices of last week. Beans were lower fully 2s. per qr.; best old ticks offered at 445, per qr.; good new horse feed, 38e. to 50s. Very little done in either Peas or Rye. Booros, April 12.-A very short supply of Wheat at market to-day, with more demand. Prim* no lower. Oats as last week. Beans, la, per qr. lower. Wheat, red, 38s. to 455. ; fine, 46e. to 486. ; white, 40s. to 465. ; fine, 48s. to 50s. Oats, 15s. to 20s. Buns, 345. to 355., per quarter to the grower. Catcuurnt, April 12.-The farmers being busily en in out-door work, the supply of Wheat was not so Eir g g e e d today as for some market-days put; dill the trade was exceedingly dull, and prices have given way Is. per quarter. There was lees inquiry for Barley, and last week's prices barely maintained. Other articles remain as last quoted. Wheat, 465. to Ms. Barley, 325. to 355. Oats, 20s. to 245. Peas. Ms. to 38e. Beans, 38e. to 40s. per quarter. Flour, 365. per sack. Ex WEER, Ap ril 12.-This was by DO mean , a large mar ket, and as d ull a one as can be conceived. In consequenee of the decline in the price of Wheat, reported at Mark-lane in the early part of the week, the millers appeared rewind to effect reduction in this article here, and to be so well in stock as to enable them to carry this out. At any rate, they were fi rm in their resolution. On the other hand, how ever, the terms offered were such u many farmers would not listen to, and the consequence, therefore, was a smaller amount of business than we have bad for a considerable time to report; and with a decline far from inconsiderable as well on average as to quotation. As to foreign Wheat, this was again on offer-a Russian Wheat, of low quality, at 445. per qr., or se. 6d. per bushel ; and Polish °dens. at 565. per quarter, or 61. 3d. par bushel. Fine Dantoic Wheats, how ever, better maintain their price, and may be quoted at 56.. per quarter, or 7s. per bushel. English Wheat sold at from 6s. 6d. to 75. 3d. per bushel ; and the average to 21. 151. 91d. per quarter, and 6s. 111 d. per bushel. In Barley there was no alteration in value, but the business was still of lees ex tent than on the preceding week. HALanWORTE, April 11.-We had a small show of Wheat, and the nde closed firm at an advance of Is. per qr. Barley and all other grain quite u dear. Weather showery, and very unsettled. Wheat, 40s. to 52a. per qr. Barley, Ms. to 31e. Beams and Peas, 321. to 38s. Oats, 20s. to HAYWARD'S HEATH, April 12.-There HAAR sconty show of Wheat at this day's market, which however was equal to the demand, the trade being very dull. The seed trade is inanimate. Wheat, white, 121. 10e. to 121. 15e.; red, 111. 10s. to 111. 15e. Barley, 32a. to 35,. Oats, 18e. to 19s. Beans, 331. to 345. Peas, 34. to 36e. Ergoutrottn, April 12.-A thin market; supply of Wheat small ; holden asked more money ; buyers had to yield at least to Is. per qr. advance • for inferior about the same as last weak. Barley was Sim ; best mal ' • trifle dearer. Malt as leat week. Oats rather lower. Beans down from ls. to 2a. per qr. Pau lower, fully le. per qr. Small Seeds over-abundant ; prices lower. Nawcasns, April 11 —The weather. although cold and hank, eull continues favourable for seeding operations, with which our fanners are busily engaged ; and the 'applies, we sr* rescuing from the counny are upon e very limited Bele still, however, they an more than comptnaated by the anvils fljt SHIPPING. - - - SAILS Lain/SO.—Dublin, 3; Waterford, 2; Denagha dee, 1 ; French 1; Flanders, 1.

St. Gear Tucker, BK., chairman, and Lient.-Gen. Sir J. L. Luslungton, 0.C.8., deputy chairman ' " for their great application and attention to the affairs of the East India Company during the put year." Ifrom abroad, whisk oenthme Mond, and coneertestly any tendency to haprovessest which otherwise might have occurred, has been checked. At eur this morning we had a scanty ahem of 'Wheat from the growers; but, having • good deal of foreign press ing upon the market, the tendency to advance Which was apparent on Saturday was lost to. day, and mks could only be promoted by submittiag to a reduction of Is. per qr. For the best descriptions of foreign red, 62e. could not be ex. ceeded, whilst fair, average qualities, 6311i5., commanded 60e. por flour there was rather more inquiry but to in duce business it was necessar7 to submit to a Ocline of la per each. In Rye little stirring. Malting Barley was rather lower but Malt fully maintained its value. Beans and Peas unaltered ; and the same may be said of Oats. ROUTO/D, April 12.—Our market still continues very doll for all kinds of grain. Wheat, 44e. to 665. Barley, 30s. to 345. ; grinding, 25e. to 295. Oats, 20s. to 28a. Beans, 28e. to 363.

Duman, April 11.-Our "applies continued small, and although our market to very heavy we cannot make any abatement on the currency of Friday, and we repast our quotations of that day, except for Indian Corn, which must be noted Is. per qr. lower.

Prices of fine 1846 are advanced 3s. to 40., with a very limited supply, several planters having withdrawn their samples from the market, owing to the unfavourable appearance of many of the roots, which have suffered greatly from some cause, and many of them are dead. Oar district plantation is being greatly reduced. Beam:molts, April 12.—Although since this day week there has been cold weather, the erring bine does not seem to have been much checked.

Of store cattle the supply was not large, nor were these (with few exceptions) by any means the bat lot of Heifers we have seen. Indeed, there were parties in the market looking out for good things of thiskind,but were unable to nit themselves. With re spect to business, the fat Bullocks were on fair sale, but rates equal to those of the preceding week were not to be obtained, and the quotations must be stated at from 60e. to 565. per cwt., or from 9s. to 10a. per score. Butchers' Calves on good sale, at from 4d. to 6d. per lb. Quotations for fat Sheep were from 615. to 745. per lb. la store Sheep little doing. A lot of stxtesa small and mixed Sheep, which were bought by Messrs. Stone and Trapnell, at 275. a-piece. Of couples there were many lots, and among these a few Downs, I but holdout' in this way was very dull; the quotations may be stated at from 38e. to 24 guineas per couple. There was a small supply of fat Lambe, at front 20s. 6d. to 22e. each, or from 74d. to Bid. per lb. For fat Bullocks, Heifers, and Calves, and barren Heifers, the quotation must be stated at from 9!. to 141., or 41e. to 48s. per cwt., or Is. 3d. to Bs. 6d. per score. lumar, April 12-The quantity of Sheep penned amounted to nearly twenty thousand ; the chief part South downs ; nearly all were soon sold. Haltbred wethers at from 465. to 665. each; Downs, 40s. te 60s. Horn Ewes, 40s. to 48e. Down Ewes, 360. to 44a. Large Ter, from 445. to 60s. per bead. Down, 40s. to 455. Couples of large breed, from 60s. to 63e. the pair; smaller, such as Downs, 4,5 e. to 645. Large Lambs, were of many prices, best from 30s. to 40s. ; moderate 25e. to 30s. ; from 23a. to 25e. LEEDS, April 12.-There was a very short supply of both Beasts and Sheep at market this morning, and, in conse quence, nearly all the animals were sold early. Prices were firm, but it can scarcely be said that improved rates were realised, ss the butchers determinedly resisted any advance. NEWCASTLE, April 11.-The supply of fat Beasts pre sented for sale here this morning has been unprecedented], large, and of a very superior quality, including a lot of Kyloes from Elgin, Morayshire, by sea; also a large supply of Sheep, quality middling. The number of fat Beasts that have arrived into this town by land and water since this day se'nnight have been 828 head, being the same number that arrived in the corresponding period of 1847. There were 760 bead of fat Beasts for gale here to-day, the demand for which was excessively slow at the commencement, and ado termination on the part of the buyers to have them at lower rates was manifest ; yet Hellen of the very but quality made 7s. per et., u, in fact, there were some bought by weight at that prices; but, with this exeeption, ell other kinds receded from 3d. to 6d. per stone on the rates of last week. The extraordinary number on offer caused sales to be effected without any degree of animation throughout the day, yet a good clearance was effected. The supply of Sheep comprised about 4,000 head. The Mutton undo was in a sluggish state during the day, and prices had a downward movement; at a late hour part remained unsold. The Pork trade was more animated than for some weeks put ; part bunnies was done last night by the south dealers; the store kinds never sold so high at any former period.

CROWN LANDS. On the motion of Eord leave was given to empower the Commissioners of her Illejcsty's Woods to re claim crown lands and proceed to the completion of the docks and other works at Birkenhead. CROWN AND GOVERNMENT SECURITY BILL. On the motion that the house go into committee on this bill, Mr. G. THOMPSON rose to oppose the motion on the ground that the country were in ignorance of the nature of tins measure, and hadnot bedtime to express its opinion upon ' it, although it was one of the worst that had been introduced during the present century. lie could account for its intro duction only on the supposition that the government were panic-stricken by recent events on the continent, and had come to theiconclusion that her Majesty's throne was in danger from the deep-seated disloyalty existing throughout the kingdom. II her Misjesty had been so instructed, if the royal ear h►d bees so abused, she ought to know that there was no portion of British territory on which eke could put her foot where the would not find a warm welcome at the hands of all classes. (Hear, bear.) But the govern ment confounded loyalty to the Queen with obedience to themselves. (Hear, hear.) He told them that there was not a cabinet in Europe which lees enjoyed the confidence of the people than the present government of this country. (Hear, hear.) They had gated no ground for introducing the measure. The right hon. baronet had not quoted a single article or apcech delivered in England, Scotland, or Wales to justify ham in applying this measure to llngland ; and even in Ireland he had merely read articles which ap peared in the Nation and (',sited Irislonan, mid the speeches of a few persons belonging to the Irish Confederation. But it did not follow from this that the whole people of Ire land were disloyal, or that even those who heard those speeches were disaffected. Let them rave at the chartists as they would—let them endeavour to set the middle cfassa against them as they would—still he challenged them to point out any dialog ally on their part. He contended that the proviso against open and advised speaking might be per verted to the meat oppressiv: and unconstitutional objects, and, in fact, to the utter suppression of all free discussion whatever. The result would be, that a largely increased amount of discontent, and even disaffection, would asaame the form of secret a- sociation—you might call it conspiracy. He pointed out to the house that the chartists who assembled la•t Monday on Kennington common were but a small frac tion of the chartist body. He paid a tribute of high com mendation to the intelligence and honourable character of the chartist body. He paralleled the position of the char tists towards the government with that of the North American colonists towards the mother country prior to their declara tion of independence in 1776. The number of subscribers to the petition presented on Monday exceeded, in point of fact, the population of our American colonies at that period. The ministers of the Queen, when they called upon her to Aix her sign-manual to this must unconstitutional measure, would do more to lessen their popularity than any other act they could commit__ . . . Mr. B. denounced the measure as a return to the most unpopular policy of Mr. Pitt. It struck him very I forcibly that the policy of the day was the policy pursued by Mr. Pitt in 1795, with this exception, that the descendants of those who opposed Mr. Pitt at that period were now the advocates of his policy. (Hear.) Front what be had seen of the temper of the house within the last few ye►rs he was sa tisfied that the house was prepared to do anything that might be advent to the feelings of the people. In 1795 Mr. Pitt dared not pass 'oche bill as this ; and was it to he said that in this advanced period,..of enlightenment they ought to pans a law which would make things in this country worse than they were in Russia ? In Rusiia a man might say any thing provided he did not offend the authorities, but if this bill passed such a privilege could not be exercised in this country. He had no fault to find, he said, with the govern ment for their conduct in reference to the meeting on Moe day ; the precau:ions they took were quite judicious, but he protested against the bill they were now seeking to introduce, trading upon a panic in that house, which, he verily believed, would induce a large majority there to vote for a 10 per cent, income tax, if government chose to ask for it "in the Queen's name." Nothing could be more despic able than the manner in which the government put for ward the Queen's name as a cover for their own unconatitu thinel demands upon the parliament. Why her Majesty was never more popular than she was at the present moment throughout the land. (Hear, hear.) As to this bill, it was preventing that free discussion which had been called the safety-valve of this country ; and this safety-valve once shut up, there would be no security against the formation of secret and armed association', most dangerous to the pesos and order of the country. Mr. Fox, in his speech sgainst the measure of Mr. Pitt, denounced the suppression of free discussion, and said - , " The power and influence of the crown was ao great, that all the liberty that existed in UM country was preserved only by freedom of speech and liberty of the prim • if either of them were oven up, the only barrier we had ag ainst th e annihilation of liberty would be emu piggy deetroyed."— • Depend upon it it men speak lees they will feel more, and arms will be left than se the only resource to procure re" dress for themselve', ig exercise vengeance on their opprestoni."—: itniiianceio such 1 metal obAgaUon.. He contended that the people had no party in that as sembly, and as that and another assembly were now consti tuted no chance of obtaining a people's government. The present administration was a mere collection of political invalids, resting on one aide en the crutch, Sir Robert Peel, and on the other on the crutch, Lord G. Bentinek. (Hear.) Unless the government, however, took the initiative with some measures of decided reform, and shook off the uneasy old lady who acted as their secret adviser, he would wars them that they were involving the country in real danger from popular disaffection. He saw with alarm that they were now talking of bringing in an Alien Bill, totally for getting, apparently, that it was the Alien Bill of Mr. Pitt which had mainl y tended to produce the great war with France. In a word, the nominal followers of k'ox were now reverting to the most tyrannous policy of Pitt. This tory policy was not confined to the Home Department. It had already spread itself into the Foreign-otlice. H. remembered the manner in which the noble lord at the head of that department last year interfered in the affairs of Por tugal, and if he could get an opportunity of meddling with the affairs of France he would doubtless not let it escape. There was a certain influence at work which would prevent his doing that. (No, no.) Hon. members said "no, no," but let them read the history of 179.5, and there see what influences were at work then. (Hear.) As one of the representatives of a large and important constituency he felt it to be his duty to express his abhorrence of the policy whisk was about to be pursued by government, and he called upon the members of that house who had been returned by liberal constituencies not to be carried away by a temporary panic. He called upon the shopkeepers of London, because a few windows had been broken, not to sacrifice the essential rights of the constitution, but to rally round thine honourable men who were prepared to fling from power those professedly liberal ministers who had so disgracefully deserted their principles. Mr. AGLIONBY hoped the house would go into com mittee on the bill, in order that its objectionable features might, if possible, be then removed. Mr. F. O'CONNOR complained of the conduct of the hon. member for Dublin in giving way to the government on this oiteation, and observed that the time-serving Irish mem ben, who conciliated government in this sort of way, were almost as much to blame for the ill administration under which Ireland suffered as government itself. He referred to the peaceful demeanour of the meeting on Monday, as a proof of the loyalty and good feeling of the working clause, and claimed for himself the credit of having ever discoun tenanced and thing approaching te disaffection to the crown and constitution of this country. It was the government itself, whose apathy, if not hostility, towards the welfare of the working dames, was calculated to excite disaffec tion. lie had never heard one single chartist raise his voice against the Queen or her crown. The right hon. baronet the member for Harwich and the hon. member for Westminster (Sir D. L. Evans) had in former times gone much further in their seditious expres sions their those who were denounced by the bill. But all the promises of Rimier years made by those hon. members and the noble lord and his colleagues were now buried in the repose of the Treasury bench. Once the bill was parsed, and the safety-valve of the British constitution wonid be taken away. It was an act of treason against the crown to propose such a aware—(hear)—and the government for bringing it forward would rind that they stunk in the nos trils of the people. It was especially levelled at those who, like himself, openly and avowedly opposed the measures of ministers. They would select their victims from amidst the general mass of discontented persons. and upon them alone would the tenors of the law fall. He implored the noble lord, not to sully his name, by penieting in carrying the bill out, and making it • law. Let there be at least breathing tints allowed to the people to consider well what their representatives were called upon to epee to.
