THIS DAY, Four o'Clock. Accounts have been received from Van Diemen's land to the 6th of February. The late lieutenant governor, Sir J. E. E. Wilmot, Bart., expired on the 3rd of February. A Hobart Town pa pm says : " The muse of Sir Eardley's death is stated to have been complete exhaustion of the frame—a decay of nature. This melancholy event, subduing all private and party animosity, has called forth the usual demonstrations of regret. We believe it was his expressed wish, pre vta to his decease, that his remains should be con veyed to England, to be placed in the family • resting-place.'" The new lieutenant-governor, Sir William Denison was actively engaged prosecuting a variety of changes in the administrative system and other public affairs. The value of wheat at Hobart Town was 4a. 3d. to 4s. 4d. per bushel. Floor was 101. per ton. New grain was arriving at Launceston, and sales had been effected at 3s. per bushel. The Hobart Town Courier of the 30th of January contains the following: SALE or THE COLONI•L DANK Assers.—The sale of the assets of this bank, consisting of bills of exchange and book debts, or overdrawn accounts, took place at auction, by Mr. J. C. Stacey, at his mart, on Wednesday, and attracted a numerous attendance. The aggregate amount of assets was about 10,00 W., and these were sold to variou.s purchasers, and realised about 1,1001. It is stated, from St. Petersburg, that the dispoei tins of the law constitutive of the mercantile navy of Russia are, by an imperial ukase, to be continued, and remain in force till the year 1851. The most import ant disposition of the law is that which allows ves sels to have captains, steersmen, and three•fourths of the crew foreigners. From Vienna, of the 23rd ult., it Is reported that the government was not without uneasiness about tho maintenance of tranquillity in that city; and that, among other precautionary measures, the gates and barriers of the town had been repaired, so as to be able to close and defend them against the fauxbourgs, if their population should menace the disturbance of the peace of the capital. HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF KENT.— Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, it is expected, will take her departure from Frogrnote-honse this day, for town, and on Tuesday next her royal highness will leave England, for the Continent, accompanied by his Serene Highness the Prince Leiningen, and attended by Colonel Sir George Casper. DEATH OP LADY DUDLEY STBART.—The melan choly intelligence has bean received in town of the death of Lady Dudley Stuart, second daughter of Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino. The noble lady died at Rome, on the 19th of last month, after an illness of only two days.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, an attempt was made by an agricultural labourer, named William Lambert, residing at Bitterwell, near Lutterworth, Leicestershire, to murder his wife, while she slept. It would appear, frem what transpired, that the wretched man has for some time entertained jealous suspi cions towards his unfortunate victim; that he roes be tween four and five o'clock, deliberately' locked the hones doer. concealed the key, and, having possessed him self of a razor, and returned to the room where his wife slept, he there inflicted a wound upon the unfortunate woman, extending from the bottom - of the neck below, the Oft ear, across the throat to the right ear. She awoke, and, by a sudden exertion, contrived to escape down stairs, when she forced the door and reached the meet. The neighbour hood having been alarmed by her cries, assistance was im mediately rendered. The wounded woman wm promptly attended by Mr. Sparkman, surgeon, and Lambert was banded over to the custody of Mr. Deakins, superintendent of police. The woman's wife is considered in great danger. A YANKEE PATENT.—Among the notices of recent American patents in Newton's London Journal of Arts for June, is the following:—" To John Allen, of Cincinnati, Ohio, for a method of restoring the &Inas or roundness to the cheeks." The patentee claims, ea his invention, sod de sires to secure by letters patent, restoring hallow cheeks to their natural contour and rotundity by means of metallic bulbs, formed, fitted to, and secured in the month by any suitable attachment between the jaw-bones and the cheek. INDIAN PosicaE.--The following peat-ollice u ringemene with respect to letters and newspapers by the E.I. Compan_y'a esprit. came into operation i n London on let of June " Persons in this country may for ward private cot , rapondenee by the government express from Bombay to Calcutta and Madras ; all persons desirous of availing them selves of this privilege, well be required to mark upon the covers of their letters the words By express from Bombay and, in addition to thisspecial address, it will be neemeary that all letters intended tabs forwarded by the way ofBonthampton should be endorsed as hitherto.

N.B.—One tala and a quarter is nearly equivalent to half an ounce avoirdupois. The rupee is about ls. 10d. English." COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTM.LIGFNCE. Two o' Clock.—The attractions of Ascot Heath have tended very materially to thin the attend:suee of dealers on the Stock Exchange thin morning, and prop9rtional:y per halo, to render business more dull, alttintigh in the absence of "1 particular event caloullend to excite specula tion, t h e market naturally relapses into a quiescent state. Consols were first ealli'd this morning 881 to for time, and 88 to 1 for w.oney ; but they have since been 1 worse, and are now 88t a for time, alternately buyen and sellers, and 88 for molar!, but without transactions of say importance.

Tripp, the ahsrebrokcrs of Bristol, would appear to consider that the amount of railway calls, present and prospective, is calculated to affect very prejudicially both the condition of the general money market and the values of shares. So, at least, we collect to be the drift of the following remarks:—" With regard to the railway calls that have been made during the current year, amounting to about 20,000,0001., we should say that at least 8,000,0001. re main at the present time unpaid. Supposing, therefore, the fu ture calls were to be deferred over alonger space of time, and the amount were to be reduced to 2,000,0001. a month, and the sneers due upon calls already made were to be distributed over the next eight months, we should then have to meet, for the remainder of the current year, railway engagements to the extent 4)1'3,000,0001. per month."

CORN.---BARNSLEY, JUNE 2.—We had a fair supply of samples of Wheat at this dare market : in other kind, of Grain a short supply, and little business was done. One sample of red Wheat was sold at 844 per qr., which was the highest price obtained for Wheat. In all other kinds of Grain there was very little done. BASINGSTOKE, JUNE 2.—Wheats could not be sold except at n reduction of from 50s. to 80s. per load ; 221. perload was given for fine white, and 211. for other good samples. Bar ley onus sparingly to market ; the little sold to-day was at a reduction of 34. to ss. per qr. ; best, 62e. ; poor, 455. to 48e.

The further reductions in value are about 34. to 44. per qr. on Wheat; 24. to 31. on 01i01 ; and 3e. to 4s. upon Beans, from the rates paid last Satur day. Wheat, red, 745. to 80s. per qr. ; white, 76e. to Ski. Oats, 37.5. to 365.; Beano, 661. to 68s. - - - - DUBLIN, J 17112 I.—The continuance of splendid weather causes purchasers to limit their operations to the supply of immediate want, and the buaineu passing this day was ex ceedingly restricted. The change in prices was, however, very slight. Wheat may be noted le. per barrel, and Oat- meal 6d. to Is. per cwt. lower; but other things remain nominally as on Friday. The following wee the general currency: Wheat, red, 46e. to 61e.; white, per 280 lbs. 495. to 625. 6d. ,• Oats, per 196 lbs. 225. to 245. ; Barley, per 224 lbs., 26e. to 30s. ; Oatmeal, per cwt. 265. to 26.. ed.; Flour, suck, per owl., monde, to 261.; American, per barrel, 4 45. to Ai. BEIJAIIT, MAT 31.—The supplies GM bare and demand very limited. Prices are as quoted ass Friday, except in Wheat, which is 6d. lower. W h eat, per cwt., 18s. ed to 19s. 6d. Barley, 131. to 14s. Oats, 131. to 14. Oatmeal, 225. to 245. Indian Corn and Meal were a slow sale in the early part of the day, at a reduction of 104 per ton. After receipt of the American new, however, pekes were advanced 8an.... by the prioritrl golden from foe. to 10s. ; but there were no gala at t 1 tate. Yellow Coen, pa ton, 131. 10s. to 141.

The Sugar market necessarily arrests the attention of the large interests in Mincing-lane, and, notwith standing the delivenes for coasumption are materially in excess eflast year,amounting to about 16,000 tans, nearly 30 per cent, yet prices have gradually declined, since the middle of January, fully 10 per cent. ; this is partly attributable to the large increase of importation fr,m Mauritius and fonlign which arrived earlier than the produce of the East and Wesi Indies ; andithelimporters of the fon-terpremed sales, from the market being supplied by the new arrivals from the West Indies. After this the money pau.ic came, and the market still continues influenced adversely, from the desire of im porters to realise, and the necessity, on the other hand, of the dealers being obliged to keep their stocks low; and we do not yet see, great as the reduction in prices has been, that we can, for some time to come, look for an advance ; but it is some consolation to know that, at present rates, the im ' porters are obtaining a tolerably fair return, as the averages ' show, the 10e. reduction in the duty operating so much in their favour. On Juno 1, 1846, the Gazette average price, exclusive of duty, was 30s. 3d. ; in 1f..46, 35e. 9(1. ; and June 1, 1847, it was 31e. Id. PRICES CURRENT. Boos; pee cwt. DLIT MD.

Oi the mOtioitoiii; . l . .iiiiiiifeciii:ics — house went into committee on this bill.___ _ _ — The ATTORNEY-GENERAL suggested the omission of the words giving power to whip juvenile offenderspubliely. Sir T. PAKINOTON consented to omit the words, and they were expunged aoeordingly. Col. T. WOOD proposed to omit the words giving power to whip juvenile prisoners more than once. Mr. ESCOTT objected to the infliction of any whipping at all, and would move an amendment to that effect. Mr. GREENE intimating that this amendment could not be made until the report, Mr. ESCOTT said he should divide the committee against the clause altogether. Mr. WAKLEY objected to the clause, as giving an un constitutional power to the magistrate. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the bill con ferred no new power on the magistrate; it merely prescribed new rules for the exercise of one that already existed. Viscount SANDON supported the clause. It was in his opinion much better to try a bey at once for • trifling offence, and give him • sound wholesome thrashing, than to commit him to prison, from whence he must come blasted in morals and character. _ _ _ _ iFiiLltiWould be glad to hear the noble lord's definition of a sound wholesome thrashing. (Langhter.) He eonsidered the punishment immoral and dirgraeo&l, and one that should not be adopted. He believed that after every flogging the boy would be worm than before. Mr. CHRISTOPHER approved of the principle of the bill, as touting to keep juvenile offenders from the contami nation of the gaol. Mr. CORTE'S objected to the bill as leaving the amount and severity of the flogging to the discretion of the jailor. He objected to flagging altogether, but if it were permitted it should be done under specific sentence and proper inspection. Aftar some further discussion the committee divided.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 3. lx one point of view the debate upon Lord LIN COLN'S colonisation motion is satisfactory. It elicited from the leaders of the whig and conservative parties en explicit recognition of the importance of colonisa tion as a means of extending individual well-being and national greatness. Lord LINCOLN'S motion had a twofold object. It aimed at a r ecognition of the national importance of colon isation in general; but its more immediate and urgent par. pane was to bring under consideration how colo nisation might be made a subsidiary agent in im proving the social condition of Ireland. The amount of destitution in Ireland is, at this moment, appalling, even to imagination. When we turn to Canada, or to New South Wales, we find numerous 1 Irish families, who left th eir country quite as poor as those who are now famishing in it, and who, by the simple means of steady industry, bare raised them selves to what in their estimation must be opulence. At every Irish sea-port we find crowds scrambling 1 and struggling for berths on board emigrant ships. And the last packet from North America brings intelligence, both from our own provinces and the United States, that hordes of Irish paupers, in their panic flight from starvation, are being landed in a state of destitution and disease that threatens to spread pestilence over the land. That the poor Irish can be relieved by systematised emigration is obvious; that they are emigrating, whether we will or not, and that death painful death at a distance from 'friends and the scenes of former life—is the consequence of unregulated emigration, is equally obvious ; and Lord LINCOLN'S remedy for these evils is—a commission! He wants three gentlemen—Sir ROBERT PEEL named them—to open an office and examine witnesses, per haps to take a jaunt to some of our colonies, and then to prepare an ingenious plausible report, to be praised and forgotten, as is the way with all reports of all commissions. And as for the suffering Irish in the meantime—" while the grass grows the steed starves." The suoeedanetim for Lord LINCOLN'S commission, proposed by Lord Jonie RUSSELL, is a degree better. The premier takes upon himself and his cabinet tht, labour and responaibihty which Lod LINCOLN would have devolved upon a dilettante (an unpaid) commission. "I am quite ready," said Lord JOHN, "to say, as my noble friend (Earl GREY) has already said in his despatch, that we wish ) to promote the adoption of some well-considered and systematic plan of colonisation in British America.' We are ready to direct the governors of each of our British American provinces to consult the legislative bodies as to those plans which are most likely to be useful to the colonies, and to which they will most readily lend an ear. I am ready to lay the whole result of these recommendations on the table of the house—at the same time giving the opinion of govern ment upon them—in another session of parliament." This, for any purpose a commission could serve, is Sr better than a commission. It has pledged Lord Joint Russet'. and his cabinet to propound next mammies a plan of systematic colonisation for our British North American colonies. Having given this pledge, the present ministers, if they remain in power, will work under the certain knowledge that any failure on their parts will lend a handle to their rivals, and should there (which though not probable is still possible) be a change of ministry, ere another session come about, the future opposition will take credit for good intentions on this score, and be most exigeant upon their successors in office. Lord LINCOLN tried to hint that minister* may have taken upon themselves the task he sought to devolve on a commission, with a view to shelve the question; but as he has a seat in parliament, it will be his own fault if they are allowed to do so. But, with a view to the immediate need, we could have wished that Lord JOHN RUSSELL had gone a step further. The objection to Lord LINCOLN'S commission, that it cannot relieve the necessities of the moment, is equally strong against the ministerial inquiry. And ministers have it in their power to do something immedi ately, though not all that could be wished. The preliminary consultation Lord JOHN pro poses to hold with the colonists of North America is not required for the purpoeo of learning what ought to be done, but of learning , ' to what they will most readily lend an ear." In British North America, the power to dispose of waste lands, and to counter.. act the bad consequences of profligate wasteful grants to private individuals, is vested in the local legula tures. The ministers of the crown must secure the previous assent of the colonial representatives in these provinces to any measure they may incline to adopt or propose to parliament But, in Natal, in the recent acquisitions from Kaffirland, in Australia and New Zealand, they are under no such check. There they may set to work at once. Again, even with respect to the North American colonies, they may adopt measures which will be of immediate use, and which will enable them to act with more promptitude and efficacy when they have come to an understanding with the colonists. Lord JOHN RUSSII.L and Mr. HAWES were right when they said that of late . years something has been dons to systematise emigration and colonisation. But enough has not yet been done. The United States, like ourselves, are a colonizing nation ; and in the time we have laid the foundations of two or three small colonies, and somewhat improved the state of affairs in one or two more, they have added a greater number of full-grown states to their Union. This is not owing to the greaterproximity of their colonising grounds. Our seaboard settlements (even at the Antipodes) are accessible to colonists from Great Britain, with less of risk and toil, and, in the end, at as little cost, as the backwoods are from New Eng land or New York. The MISS of the more rapid progrmi of United States oidimisation is to be sought in the circumstance, that the Dunes State, have a complete and efficient land departaint, and that the colonisers of their waste lands ink from the outset the fall rights of citizenship. This country, too, might have a semplete and effi cient land department if tha board of Colonial Land and Emigrahla Clonhidonssa wars hlly cagenissi If the informed= Mas date of (skald Abe isllssind and ' by these sentinels idles asronoons, always dandive—if their terrines of of emigration is inadequate—the fault is not dsks. They have not a indlitint staff, and are not sods& with ',efficient authority. The board indeed owes Me origin to an accident, and its development has Wm hit to the influence of other aerid•nts. As an imperial board, it ought to have more agents and more authority than the Commissioners of South Australia,whom it was at first instituted to replace. In most of our colonies there is a surveyor of crown lands, and in most of them these is now an emigration agent. The surveyor's office is in many of them little better than a sinecure, and iu none has he 11117 necessary connexion with, or dependence on, the comnissioners of colonial lands. The emigration agent. are too few for the extent of the cohmies, inadequately paid, and without the means of commanding the ivqnisite in formation. As the charge of managing . the waste lands in the colonies (vested in the crown in trust for the community of the whole empire) and of main taining the police of emigration, has been combined in the Colonial Lands' Commissioners, so ought also the offices of principal surveyor and emigration agent in the colonies. This combination would war rant the conferring of such a salary and efficient rank upon the holder of them, as would give him his due influence in the settlement. As charged with duties in which the whole empire have an interest, he ought to ba appointed by the bawd, which has the central control over the disposal of public lands, and 'of the protective police over emigrants. Ile ought to keep this central board well informed of the state of the public lands in the colony, and everything that concerns intending settlers; and to enable him to do this, he ought to have under him an adequate staff of surveyors, draughtsmen, &c., and local emigration agents is different parts of the colony. Ministers have it in their power now to prepare an efficient colonising staff against the time that their plan of systematic colonisation shall be matured. It will not be useless in the interim: the state in which emigrant ships are daily arriving in North America, shows that an in creased staff of emigration agents is immediately wanted. With respect to the full rights of citizenship, even in the territories of the United States the settler enjoys from the outset the full privilege of local self government ; and he looks forward with certainty to his district being received into the union as a State whenever settlement has made a certain degree of progress. in many of our colonies the central government denies to the in habitants any liarticipation even in local government, and in all it is constantly internteddling with local regulations. And to whatever degree of populous ness and wealth a colony may attain, the colonists have no prospect of participation in the imperial go vernment. They feel themselves a lesei privileged class than the inhabitants of the old country. his retards the progress of settlement and the de velopment of colonial resources in two ways. It cramps the spirit of enterprise, weakens the principle of self-reliance, and renders the capitalist and educated classes of the old country unwilling to settle in the colonies. Local self government may surely be conceded to our colonists with advantage to themselves and relief to the home raters; and as for participation in the imperial go vernment, though our monarchical institutions do not admit of the colonies being incorporated with the imperial union as coequal states, yet something might be done by throwing the career of office open to colonists. Lord GREY'S New Zealand constitution shows him to be fully alive to all this. But it cannot be too loudly repeated to the public and to parliament. Mr. FERNAND'S steady patron, the nmes, has been reduced to the necessity covering, by a farewell article, his precipitate flight from Kuaresborough, and, we hope, his tins exclusion trom parlia ment. A more empty, noisy, and troublesome brawler never interrupted the course of public busi ness. Reckless as he has always show!, himself of the truth of the innumerable assertions and charges which occupied his speeches, it is, perhaps, to the credit of his character, that his intellectual conforma tion made it credible, that, in a certain sense, he might believe what he said. When O'CONNELL overwhelmed his adversaries with calumnies, no one supposed that he was himself deceived. Ilia apologists justified his use of falsehood, by eulogising the patriotism which called it forth, and his sympathismg audience not unfrequently . applauded the orator the more, because they recognised and appreciated his ready in vention. But O'ComveLt was as ready to let an accusation drop as to set one on foot, if it suited his purpose. He knew better than to try the patience of the House of Commons with the bold fic tions which electrified his monster meetings. Utteily without reverence for the sacredness of words, he was thoroughly aware in all conjunctures of the real state of recta, Mr. FERRAND, as he possesses no portion Of otkNNELIN ability, may, we hope, be acquitted of his habitual unvenicity. He may , not be unwilling to tell the truth, but he is utterly incapable of seeing the truth. The refutation of any of his statements seams quite unintelligible to him. The tes:imory of all impartial judges that his case has failed, never induces him to reconsider it. As long as he has breath and can find a listener, we have no doubt that the " great Mott case ^ will form the staple of his conversation. An intellect so impene trable would be an object of pity rather than of un sure, if it was not too often a mischievous weapon in abler hands. The lYmes thought it worth while to sat Mr. FBRtAND at its opponents in the certainty that neither argument, nor rebuff, nor resistance, would silence his angry bark. We hope that in a future parliament it will be deprived of its conveni ent instrument. Few conservative constituencies will wish for a demagogue to represent them, and else where an unteachable bigot will scarcely be accept able. _ _ The circumstances which accompany Mr. FER NAND'S withdrawal from Knareeborough are not un characteristic. We are no admirers of boroughmongers crofoligarchical influence in elections,but Mr. FERRAND bas contrived to relinquish all claim to the independent support of his present constituents, at the same time that he attributes the loss of his seat to Lord HARE swoop, whom, like every other person who has come bite public collision with him, he obstinately misun derstands and misrepresents. It seems that Mr. LASCELLEC, the candidate for linaresboroogh, having supported the repeal of the corn-laws, his brother, who MA a different part in the struggle, determined to remain neuter at the election—a resolution which be stated to Mr. FERRARI) in a personal interview. As might be expected, Mr. FERRAND immediately an- It04•011d that "Lord HAREWOOD has authorised me to say, that so far from having pro mised his support to Mr. LASCELLES, he has renmed it, nor will he give it to' him " a statement which evidently implies much more than the mere intention of not interfering. Lord HAREWOOD very naturally wrote a letter to Mr LASCELLES, to clear the matter up. "It is quite tree," he says, "that I told him, as I always told you, that I should not interfere with the verylrttle interest I can have at Knaresborough. But that I ever authorised him to say that I had refused you my sup port, or gave him authority to use my name in any way, I utterly deny. Yon know you came forward in the first instance with my cordial Soncurrence, and, although we may differ on some points, I agree infinitely more with you than with 141}; .1 ".......RRAND." Most people would think it very possible that a sen sible nobleman, in the year 1847, might agree even with one who had been hit opponent on the question of the defunct corn-laws, more nearly than with an intemperate agitator, who denounces manufactures in almost as whole sale a manner as poor-laws. Nor is it very con trary to human nature to suppose that Lord lIARE WOOD might personally wish his brother to succeed in preference to a stranger, even when he determined to take no part in the contest himself. its. FERRAND, however, is, of course, indignant at the " iiecret com bination" which he has thus added to his catalogue et sine's-nests, and retires, in a squabble, out of a parliamentary life of similar squabbles. If he should be condemned in future to the silence Hot private life, we fear his sufferings will be aggravated by seeing more than one of his divourite enemies occupying seats in Ate house, ban which he may - be excluded. We under stand that one of the chief objects of his vitu peration, Mr. GEORGE CORNEWALL ttWIE, the criminal of the " great Morr case," is l&ely to be selected as member for Herefordshire. His father, and predecessor in office, Sir FRANKEL/1D LEWIS, keg ago, secured a seat for the Blidnorshire boroughs, and perhaps his able colleague, Mr. SHAW LEPEVRE, may, before the election, be sought by some well-judging constituency. The importance of personal qualifications in a member is not fully , appreciated by those who only think of the votes which he may give in parliament. It ought to be remembered that, in additudi to their legislative functions, the two houses also enjoy a monopoly of the chief administrative offices. The crown and its ministers have to select a great number of their functionaries from those whom the constituencies of the country bare designated as eligible; and it is desirable that the choice thus limited should still have as wide a range as possible. We are by no means desirous to see the number of placemen in the house increased, or the exclusion of all bat members frees public em-
