The principal appointments commonly belonged to the First Lord ; the iukrior ones to the Secretary. The letter he wrote ts Wells, leis October, Isd2, explained this. It WWI as follows. " Admiralty, Oct. IS, 15..2. " Sir,-I have received your memorial without date; and I ma constnaaded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to ',Quaint you that they are not aware that you have reetiv-laay appointment from them, and that their lordships do not consider you justified in designating arself late master smith of her Majesty's dockyard at Portsmouth ; ' they, therefore, return your memork.l. lf, however, from any communication with any of the officers oft:.., several departments, you have been led to expect such an appointment, their lordships are prepared to give rieir consideration to any memorial from you on that sub ject but my lords cannot recognise you as late master smith of Portsmouth dockyard, as no warrant has been given to you by their lordships for such appointment." lie 'And been in the habit of askirg who were the best men in the service, and had bead Colsell's name always fa vourably mentioned.

When the committce met yesterday, the first wit nem called was— Mrs. Sarah Ana Cottingham, examined by Mr. Scrjeant Kinglake. Witness stated that her husband was a painter by trade, and a voter of Harwich. He was in Chelmsford Gnol last July, before the election, for &lit. Her husband came out of gaol on the polling day. Mr. Baushaw, one of the defeated candidates, canvassed her husband, but he said ha would not promise any oats. Crow-examined by Mr. Jamas—Before the election Mr. Bagabsw told her husband ha had some work for him if he would vote forhim (Begsbaw). Mr. Bagshaw also said ha would do something towards paying the debt her husband was in it to! for, saying, The business should go all right." Bite saw Ur. Bagsbaw many times after her husband went to gaol, and he told her he had written to London to ascer tain the amour.t of debt her husband was iu gaol for. Ile also gave witness se. on one of them occasions, and told her to make herself comfortable. John Cottin!ham, husband of the last witness, gave evidence to a similar effect as his wife, as to his being released from gaol on the polling day, and said that he voted for Waddington and Peacoeke. Mr. Bagshaw was then called sad examined. lie said he canvassed Cottingham for his vote, but direct promise from him. Heard of his being taken to gaol; oornruiserated him as a neighbour, and went to his house and 11.11, his wife, who complained greatly of distress.

J. B. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. The official report says:—lt is gratifying to ob serve a decided improvement in the public health. In the ant these weeks of April the d, attic' in London were 1,340, 1,213, 1,182. In the last week of the month the diminu tion to considerable, the number being 1,089. In the ten corresponding weeks of 1813.52 the average number of ' deaths was 933, which, if raised in a certain proportion cc carding to increase of population, becomes 1,023. The ex- OM of mortality in last week shore the estimated amount is therefore 66, a result which is much more favourable thau any these returns have yielded since the c..ld weather set in. In January the deaths were about 1,000 weekly; since that time they have ranged from 1,200 to mere than 1,500. Fatal cases arising from diseases of the resp:ratory organs have declined in the last two weeks from '242 to 206; those from symette diseases differ little in the general result. &attains has increased, while typhus continues to decline. Pbtltieia rose from 139 to 162 in the two weeks.

Lath Intelligence. HOUSE OF LORI/S.—YESTERDAY. I sea's DIVORCE. In this caw,when it was before their lordship on the 18th of 3lareh last, the further hearing of the second reading of the hilt was adjourned for the production of further evi dente. The facts, which were fully reported in the Daily Sties of 19th March, were shortly as follows .—The peti tioner is Edward Jones, and he seeks to be divorced from Elisabeth, his wife, on the ground of her adultery. The peti tioner was formerly • commercial traveller residing at Taunton, in Somersetsbire, but is now living in Clark street, Lristol. In 1829 lie was married to his present wife, thee Elisabeth Wyllie, and up to the year 1840 their marriage was a happy one, and they had • family of eight children. In 1840 they removed to Bristol, and Mr. .101100 . 11 vocation as a commercial traveller caused him to be much from home, and it was during his absence that the adultery complained of was committed. In that year he became acquainted with a Mr. D Hill Ward, a person who was living independently on his means, and who became a lodger in the house of Mr. Jones. It was alleged, that during the time Mr. Ward was an inmate of the house. frequent acts :of adultery with Mrs. Jones took plate. The petitioner had no knowledge or suspicion of such a thing until 1841, when Mrs. Jones became addicted to immoderate drinking, and that to such an extent as to cause mental aberration, and for 'tome months she was eon fined in Dr. Coes asylum, at Bristol, from which, however, she was discharged. It was stated that she was now living in the neighbourhood of the Regent's I'ark in open adultery. It was stated that the petitioner was in • condition to prove acts of adultery on the part of Mrs. Jones, n2t only with Mr. Ward, but with several other prone in the absence of her husband, besides conduct of the grossest obscenitT. In 1815 proceedings were instituted in the Consistonal Court of Bristol for • divorce a mews et thoro, which were not concluded till 1817, in consequence of certain responsive allegations on I the part of Mrs. Jones, charging her husband with cruelty and adultery, but which the court declared not proved, and pronounced for the divorce. An action at law was brought against Mr. Ward in 1847, but, in consequence of Mr. Jones's tains becoming so embarrassed as to terminate in his bankruptcy, it was not brought to trial, but ended in • judgment as in case of a nonsuit. Mr. Ward had lent Mr. Jones a sum of 5001., and mutual releases had been exe cuted between them in settlement of Mr. Jones's claims. It - - was stated that the petitioner had been unab!o to come be fore their lordships sooner than he had on account of his being unable to bear the expense; nor could be have done so at all, but far its having been recently ascertais•l that • pentium r could coma futon" the house in forma pauperis. On the former bearing evidence was given which went to show numerous cases of the strongest end almost incontro vertible suspicion of acts of adultery on the part of Mrs. Jones, and the most direct proof was given of the grossest indecency and immoral language and behaviour. The hearing was then adjourned in consequence of the absence of the attesting witnesses to certain documents. The case was now resumed, and the attesting witnesses being present, deposed to the execution of mutual releases between Mr. Jones and Mr. Ward, and also to the execu tion of a deed by Mrs. J.mes after the separation a menu et thoro, iry which she divided certain property to which she had become entitled into thirds, one of which was ap portioned to her husband, another to her children, and the other reserved to herself. Mr. Jacob Strickland, attorney, of Bristol, stated that he had known Mr. Jones, the petitioner, for 25 years. In July, 1818, his pecuniary circumstances were very bad, and he became bankrupt. Ile had been very poor ever since. Witness believed the proceedings at law against Mr. Ward had been abandoned in consequence of the conduct of Mr. Jones's then attorney, Mr. tisriby. la the proceedings in the Consistorial Court the judge Dr. Phillimore, ap peared to think there was reason to believe that liartoy, the attorney, had been intimate with Jones's wife. Wit ness did not snow whether Hsrtby advised the compromise of the action. Witness did not act as attorney to Jones during the progress of the action and during the suit to obtain a divorce " a mensa et there " although he gave him advice. Ile knew Jones owed Wa rd 5001. er 8001., and he knew of the mutual release between Jones and Ward, but on after it had taken place. Coline Close stated that she went to live as servant to Mr. Jones, in College green, Bristol, in 1841. Mr. Jones was frequently absent from home for a considerable time. Remembered Mr. Ward's living in Mr. Jones's house at that time. Remembered once seeing Mrs. Jones sitting on Mr. Ward's knee and kissing him. It was in the drawing room of Mrs. Jones's own house. It was in the day-time. Mr. Jones was in Bristol at the time, but not in the house. Witness saw him that day in Bristol. Mr. Ward generally occupied the drawing-room. Witness never saw Mr. Ward take liberties with Mrs. Jones in the presence of her husband. Mrs. Jones always conducted herself before her husband like a prudent woman. Witness recollected a gentleman coming to the house and Mrs. Jones's meeting him. She called him "My dear," took him round the leek, and kissed him. She was generally a prudent woman, but at times, from drinking, she was not fit company fur anyone. Witness heard Mn. Jones refuse to take a = of anything in the presence of her husband. After she the gentleman they went into the dining-room ' after which witness tried the door, having occasion to go into the room, and found it locked. Did not recollect whether this wee before or after the occurrence with Mr. Ward. After Mn. Jones was removed to the Lunatic Asylum, witness aemmunieated what she knew to Mr. Jones, but not before. Mr. Jonas always treated his wife with the greatest kind ness. Mr. Jones was not much in the habit of walking out with his wife, but Mr. Ward was. Those walks were ge nerally in the daytime. Mrs. Jones of ten came in quite In 'imitated with the other servant, Eliza. The whole three, lb. Ward, Mrs. Jones, and the servant, would come in in- Insicated. Did not ever see Mr. Jones go out with Mrs. Jones and Mr. Ward. Mr. Ward was living at Mr. Jones's when witness entered his service. Witness after she left Mr. Ames went to Cardiff to live. While there the gentleman whom Mrs. Jones kissed in the pangs came there and asked witness not to give evidence against Mrs. Jones. This being the whole of the evidence, The Lord Chancellor said that before finally disposing of the second reading, he should move that the evidence be pedant. He felt bound to say that the septet in which the matter now stood was a very doubtful one, and he did not think that it would be consistent with the interests of society for their lordships to accede to thin bill. There could be no doubt that there was something like a compro mise between the adulterer and the petitioner. Besides it was stated that the conduct of the wife was always decent la the presence of her husband, but in his absence was each as would disgrace the commonest strumpet in the streets. Could their lordships possibly believe that the husband could for years be unaware of her disgusting and disgraceful conduct, and believed her to be a virtuous and well-conducted woman, while she was in fact everything that was depraved and abandoned ? Again an action at law had been brought by the petitioner which was suffered to lapse, the costs foregone, and a debt of the husband to the sifted adulterer released, while the only explanation that wan given of all this was the poverty of the husband. He should not advise their lordships at once to say not content to the second reading, but his impression was most unfa vourable to the petitioner. Lord St. Leonard's said that this was a difficult and most saspicious cue. It appeared that Mr. Jones suffered Mr. Ward, a single man, to live in his house during his absence, when he must have been aware that his wife was addicted te intoxication • and leaving her thee without a suf fi cient the akiiet inevitable consequence ensued. It was Mil ant timildagnmolmovy notes given by Jones to Ward bah Imo tliesoyel; that might be so; but it was clear *at all the while this was going on Jones had been from Mae to time borrowing sums et money from Ward, which lathe end reached 4001. . • and it was probable that that was &reason why the husband was not very careful of his wife, sad did not Wok very sh irp after Ward. The action at law ended in judgment as in case of a non-suit, by which Jones hid to pay the cats; instead of the question being tried Anther he was to receive damages and costs or not. Than ASO WO • compromise for the discharge of Jones's debt to Went, is consideration of a release to him of all liability be damages ; and then as regarded the lapse of time before this petition was presented, the only reason given was that Jones was in bad pecuniary circumstances. It appeared that in 18-19 Mrs. Jones became entitled to some property, and that subsequent to the divorce " a menu et there," she executed a deed by which it was agreed that one third should be given to Mr. Jones, one-third to the chil dren, and the other third remain the property of Mrs. Jones; and there was a covenant in the deed that she should not only give a release of all her rights under her marriage settlement, but also that she should join in every act neces sary to obtain a divorce " a vinculo matrimonii." lie (Lord St. Leonard's) was of opinion that it was altogether a case of concert among the parties, and be thought it would be ex ceedingly difficult to persuade their lordships to consent to the second reading of the bill. The matter was then further adjourned, and the evidence ordered to be printed. BAIL COURT.-YESTERDAY. 81111,04 IN 14000.- BM= YL JUITICE COLLLID3Z. THE QU . EIN V.

To this declaration there was a general demurrer, and the question raised for the consideration of the court was, whe ther the circumstances stated in the declaration were suffi cient to render the stewards liable in this action.

This wu the meeting for the choice of assignees. His debts are about 1,6001. The only peculiarity in the cue was the appearance of Chinaman, who had been employed be the bankrupt as a ehopmau, and who claimed payment of 381., as an arrear of wages. He gave his name Chun•Ahmen, and was attended by a countryman of his own, who, having a tolerable knowledge cf English, acted as interpreter. Some difficulty presented itself as to the mode of swearing the witness; and as the court could not learn that he properly understood the obligation of an oath, this formality was dispensed with, and he was questioned as to the nature of his claim. It appeared that he had been about two years in the service of the bankrupt ; he is be. lievcd to be one of the crew who came over in the Chinese Junk. The claim of 381. was for a year's service. lie expected to be paid in full; but on its being ex plained to him that he could only receive three months' wages in full, and most prove and take a dividend for the remainder, he fell into a violent pas sion, and ultimately rushed out of court, threatening to bang himself if his claim were not at once discharged in full. His friend the interpreter strove to calm him, but in vain. After a short absence, he again marched into the court, and created some alarm by his wild gesticulations. He addressed himself to the solicitor under the bankruptcy in a menacing manner; he was again offered the three months' salary in full, but persisted in rejecting it, and ultimately left the court, making peatomimic motions with his hand acres his throat to indicate his determination. His Mend ran after him, apparently for the purpose of taking care of him. All the parties soon alter left the court. It was stated that this Chinaman is the same who figured at the Exhibition as a Chinese mandarin, and who, on the opening, was honoured with a place near Ler Majesty. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY. BIM! Mi. BOJWIT ADAMS, ASIIITAAT ICIIOI AT CLAIKTNITI TRANSPORTATION OP ♦ MARINE STORE KEEPER. John Hines, 54, a marine store dealer, was indicted for having feloniously received two pewter pots, the property of William Bißinger, well knowing them to be stolen. The prosecutor was a beer-shop keeper in Philip-street, St. George's-in-the-East, and the pots were stolen by four boys—deplorable looking objects—three of whom were exa mined as witnesses. From their evidence it appeared that they took the pots—a pint and a half pint one—to the pri soner's shop, in Ilosemary-lane, and sold them to him at the respective prices of 3d. and lid. The pri-over before they left the shop took up a chopper and broke up the pots and melted them in an iron pot. The pewter pots had the pro• secutor's name marked upon them, and the iron pot which the police found at the prisoner's shop, and which the boys identified as that in which the stolen property was melted, appeared to have been used to some extent in the process. The Assistant Judge put it to the jury whether they were satisfied with the evidence of tke boys—if they were they must find the prisoner guilty. The jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. The Assistant Judge said the court would nut be doing it. duty to the public if it did not in the strongest possible manner mark its sense of the very serious crime of which the prisoner Lad been found guilty. The jury could not he thought, have given any other verdict according to their oaths, and for the sake of example to other marine store dealers—and he hoped every one in the metropolis would know the result of this ease—tke sentence of the court was that the prisoner be transported for fourteen yean. The three bays, who were examined as witnesses, were committed fur stealing the pats, but the indictment was not preferred and they were discharged. John Taylor, 42, was indicted for having unlawfully as saulted and beaten Jane and James Taylor, his children. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution, at the instance of the parochial authorities of St. Pancras. This prosecution was taken up by the parish authorities, in consequence of the defendant having turned his two children out of doors, and severely Neaten them with a leather strap. About two years ago the defendant's wife died, and a Mrs. Ellis went to live with him. lie was a collector for a person at Maidenhead, and lived in Milford place, St. Pancras, and the children whose names were in the indictment were aged respectively 10 and 8 years. It appeared that on the 10th of April they went to an elder sister, who had been turned out of doors by the de fendant, and was then living in Eden-street, and complained that their father had beaten them, and turned them out. She took them back, but they were turned out again, and the boy had then nothing on but his shirt and trowsererand hie useo we. bleeding. As length they were taken to the workhouse, as the defendant refused to take them in, and at that time both were bruised. They were fetched from the workhouse, and slept at the defendant's house that night, bat they were turned out again next morning after being beaten, and the elder sister took them again to the workhouse. These beatings were with a leathern strap about two feet long and an inch wide, and believing them to have been excessive and improper, the parish authorities instituted these proceedings. In cross-examination, the boy stated that his father never best him but once before, and that since his mother had died, he had been well treated, well fed, and well clothed, he had had pocket-money given him, his father had taken him out and bought him cakes and fruit. The defendant had beaten him and his sister, because, as he said, they had stolen 41. from him, and he beat them on the previous oc casion because, he said, they had stolen St. It was not true that they had stolen it, but their father said they had. Mr. Birnie, for the defence, urged upon the jury that the defendant had not made an improper use of that discretion which was given to a father for the due correction of hie children ; and that the beating which he bad given these children, under the provocation of believing they had stolen his money, was not beyond proper limits, hut, on the con trary, just such correction as a father, under such circum stances, might be expected to adminster. The Assistant Judge, in summing up, said every father had a right to administer proper correction to his children ; and the only question the jury had to decide was, whether there had been any excess in this instance. They were not to measure such matters with too great a nicety, but at the same time they must see that a parent did not use cruelty instead of proper chastisement. The jury found the defendant Guilty, under mitigating circumstances ; and the court, concurring with the jury, sentenced him to 3 weeks' imprisonment, Ina having been in prison 3 weeks already. The Assistant Judge said the conduct of Mr. Birchmore, the officer of the parish, in the case, was very commendable. It was a prosecution taken up in the cause of humanity, and the ease was a fit one to be prosecuted. The costs were allowed. Mr. Lush showed cause aga i ns t a rule calling upon Charles Blundsdell Gregory to show by what authority l'c exercised the office of town councillor of the borough of Marlborough. The affidavits upon which the rule had been obtained stated that the defendant had neither resided in the borough nor been rated to the poor of the borough a sufficient time previous to his being elected town councillor. It was now shown that to had resided in the borough, and that he had been rated to the poor under the name of Charles Gregory, which was the name of his father, who had transferred his house and business to Gregory, the son, before the time when it was necessary for him to Income a householder in order to he put on the burgess list, which would entitle him to become a candidate for the office of town councillor. The affidavit of the overseer of the parish said that Charles Blunodeel Gregory was intended to be rated, and that if the overseer had been aware that his name had been Charles Blansdell Gregory it would have beau so written when he was rated ; but, not being aware of that fact, it bad hems given as Charles Gregory only. Mr. Fortescue appeared in support of the rule, and con tended that the name would rule the decision. Mr. Justice Coleridge, in giving judgment,said he was of opinion that Charles BlMudell Gregory was really the person intended to be rated, and he therefore discharged the rule with cats.—Bale discharged.

Witlions Taylor was finally examined charged with having been round in possession of a valuable Skye terrier, supposed to have been stolen. Mr. Edmund Hardinge, the son of Sir Charles Hardinge, of 24, Montagu-square, was then called, and stated that the Skye terrier now produced, which belonged to his sister, was lost or stolen from the immediate neighbourhood of his father's residence on the 24th of March last, at which time I it had a brass collar round ittneck, inscribed with his own name and address at Oxford. About a fortnight after it was missed, in consequence of information he had received, be proceeded to No. 2, Manning-street, Edgeware-road, where he saw the prisoner, to whom he mentioned that he had lost a dog, of which he gave him the description, and offered him 30s. for its restoration. The prisoner then in formed him that he had certainly heard about the dog from certain persons with whom he was acquainted, and that he would let him know shortly whether they were willing to accept his terms. Witness then left him, but the prisoner called upon him a few days after at his father's house and stated that he had seen the party who had the dog, and that he could not have it back under three guineas. Witness requested to see him again in a few days that he might consider the proposal, and on the prisoner again visi ting him at the time appointed, he told him that he had made up his mind not to give more than two guineas for the return of the dog. The prisoner replied that in that case he would never see the dog again, as the party who had it had been offered seven guineas for it, and he was de termined not to relinquish it under three guineas. The prisoner then left, but called again in a few days, and after telling him that the party had consented to accept his offer of two guineas, arranged a meeting at his house on the following Saturday to conclude the ueguiation. Witness was unable to see him on that day, but pursuant to a sub- sequent arrangement, be called at his house on the lon day after, and saw the prisoner, who told him that the dog was not then in his possession, but that he would pledge his word, if he paid him the money, that he would bring it home that evening. Witness accordingly handed the pri soner two guineas, and he beard no more of him until he i ascertained that he was in custody. Sergeant Ilardwieke, of the 1) division, proved that he I was present at the Clerkcnwell Sessions in the year 1846, when the prisoner was tried and convicted fur a similar offence. The prisoner was then ordered to be committed for trial. THAMES. Jane Smith, • very savage woman, aged 21, who has been repeatedly fined and imprisoned for violent assaults on the police and others, and who lass also bees in custody several times for felony, was charged with cutting and wounding Jane Mahoney with intent to murder her. The mother and two sisters of the prisoner have been transported for various felonies, and her brother, who was formerly a soldier, after deserting ten times, was drummed out of his regiment. About half-past FiX o'clock yesterday morning, Mahoney, who below to the class called unfor tunate, met the prisoner in Victoria-street, Shadwcll, aad some words pared relating to a sailor they were acquainted with. The prisoner said, " I owe you a spite for living with my brother," and made a blow at Mahoney with a knife, with which she had arrred herself some time before with the avowed intention of being revenged on Mahoney for some affront put upon her. The prosecutria ran away, and ass about to enter the Royal Sovereign public-house when the prisoner, who was close behind her, stabbed her in the neck. The prosecutria screamed, and said, "Don't murder me, Jane." The prisoner used the most horri'de threats and imprecations, and before her victim could get out of her reach she stabbed her again in the neck, and drew the knife across her forehead, inflicting a most serious wound. The woman fell, and bled so copiously from the wounds that she fainted away, and was insensible for some time afterwards. She presented a frightful ape pearanco in the witness-boa. One side of her head and face was covered with surgical bandages, and her neck and clothes were saturated with gore. The prisoner conducted herself in a very indecent manner in the dock, abused the prosecutriz, and acid they were both Irish, and robbed sailors ; that they bad been they with a sailor for dye hours ; and that July Marney, as she called herself, wanted to rob a sailor that morn ing. In this strain she continued for some time, until Mr. Yardley threatened to have her removed, and to hear the cue in her absence. . . . The depositions having been formally taken, the prisoner was committed for trial. MARKETS. COTTON.—LiwznpooL, MAY 3.—Ths market closed very firmly, and prices are acainst the purchaser. Sales, 0,090 bales, 590 for export, and 1,000 on speculation, and c omprise 50 Pernarns and Maranhams, 61d. ; L.O Itabia,6ld. to 61d. ; 300 Egyptian, 61d. to id. ; 800 Surat, 31d. to 434. ; 30 Sea Islands, 22d. to 2s. 7d. MANCHESTER, MAY 3.—We have had • sternly and firm market for cotton cloths, but the manufacturers have not secured any advance. In yarns also the market has been steady, but not very active. Spinners, however. aro many of them •ell engaged, and they are all asking higher prices since last week, particularly for cop yarns. The export houses !are not doing much, except those in the India and China trade. from whom the trade have expe rienced • moderately fair demand. Yarns from Sea Islands cotton are firm in price, and scarce in stock. The advice, by the American steamer last to hand, have tended to give additional firmness to the market, though it is evident there will be a large surplus in cotton over the previous year's yield, whilst the consumption of cotton in Manchester goods this year is likely to be lea from two causes, both of which we have pointed attention to as having operated more or less to con tract consumption during previous years—from the extent to which prosperity amongst all classes at home induces the purchases of lighter and finer qualities of goods, and from the extent to which the light and elegant woollen and mixed fabrics of Yorkshire are superseding cotton goods in many cues. Messrs Do Fay and Com pany give an interesting table, showing to how large an extent a reduction in the consumption of cotton may be cowed by a transfer to higher or finer numbers of yarns on a given number of spindles. Take two examples as an indication :-810 spindles will require from 1,260 to 1,3101b5. of cotton weekly, to produce No. 20's mule twist; whilst the same number of spindles on 30's mule twist, will consume only 781 to 8461b5. of cotton, or if em ployed on No. 60's mule will consume only 200 to 22 fibs. of cotton per week. The difficulty in the way of spinners taking contracts for fear of their workpeople strik ing for higher wages, has been a good deal obviated by merchants consenting to a condition in such contracts providing " that the time of delivery be not interfered with by turnouts or otherwiee." The exports to India and China this year to the Ist of May, show an increase in both cloth and yarn, as compared with the some period of last year. The Increase in yarns is 642,8881b5. to Bengal; 1,228,0671b5. to Bombay ; and 1,118,8301b5. to China, Singapore, &e. In cloths there has been an increase to Bengal of 7,074 packages of plain, and of 2,059 of printed calicoes ; and an Increase of 5,378 packages of plain cottons to China. Against this there is the slight decrease of 1,402 packages of plain cottons to Bombay. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LEnDs, MAT 3.—There has not been any material change in the market to-day ; about an average Tuesday's business has been done. Double-milled cloths are in good request. There was also a fair portion of mixtures sold in Melton of a light medium character. WOOLHI 1, May 3.—From the present lowneu of stocks on hand, and consequent want orehotee, we have not much doing in Wools, buyers holding back till the approaching London sales, expected to commence on the 19th, or soon after. MANUFACTURES.—HUDDERSFIELD, May 3.—The attendance of buyers has not been numerous in this market to-day, though the sales effected in the middle and best descriptions of goods usually brought here has fully reached the average of last month, which hu been the busiest month during the present year. The demand for lower qualities of fancy mixtures, &c., has not been so brisk, and stocks of this description are beginning to accumulate. CORR.—Hi/IA,, Mny 3.—We had to-day a fair show of Wheat from:our own farmers, and rather more of foreign than latterly ; for the latter we experience more demand, and English war not more than Is. per qr. below the price of last week. We have a further addition to thv iwporte or Darby, out ins market is well supported. Oats are rather dull. Beans meet improved demand, as do also the best samples of Peas. The Linseed market is without alteration, as are also Linseed Cakes. Nothing doing in Rapeseed, and cakes are rather in favour of buyer. A good sale for Bases. Imports from April 23 to April 29 : Wheat, 3,396 qrs ; Barley, 8,564 ; Oats, 1,548; Beans. 280 ; Peas, 48 ; Tares, 261; Linseed. 6,8.50 ; Rapeseed, 3,278; Oil Cakes, 332 tons ; Bones, 573; Guano, 96. . LZEDS. MAT 3.—Our reported arrivals of grain are small, and the show of fresh wheat continues very limited; the demand is still chiefly on this description, and the rates of last week are obtained ; graneried parcels meet with but little attention, and lower prices would be taken to lead to business. Barley, slow sale. Beans and oats scarcely fetch so much money. Other articlos as before. Arrivals this Reek: Wheat, 3,298; Oats, 95; Barley, 823; Beans, 967; Shelling, 74; Rapeseed, 703. LYNN, May 3.—We have had a moderate supply of Wheat to-day; the trade dull, and about Is. per qr. lower. Very little beside at market. The following were current prices :—Wheat, old, 621bs. to 631b5., 455. to 475. per qr. to the growers; best runs new, &bibs. to 591b5., 38s. to 40..• ' ditto, inferior, 551bs. to 571b5., Us. to 375. Barley, 293. to 325. beans, 32E to 3Gs. NEWCASTLE, May 3.—The weather still continues cold and ungenial. The last two days we have had a strong sea fret. At our market this morniug we had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, but from abroad the arrivals are liberal. Fresh-thrashed samples sold upon much the same Terms as on Saturday ; if any change were perceptible, it was slightly in tavour of the buyer, but to make progress in foreign it was necessary to submit to a reduction of fully 2s. per qr., bat at that decline a fair business was done. For raw Wolgast red, 471. could not be exceeded, weighed 631b5.,• whereas other sorts sold at proportionate rates. The price of households may now be considered to be re duced to 335., the state of London scarcely justifying our milers to hold out longer. Norfolk qualities consequently sell very Cowly, and 335. can only be made for retail quer ties. Rye nominally the same. For malting Barley we experienced a very slow inquiry, 325. being an extreme quotation for the best south country, weighing naturally 51/il).. and 31s. for 521br. Grinding a dull tale, and rather cheaper. In other articles we have little variation to note. JAMAICA MARKETS. (From De C'orJorifs Mercantile Intelltyeneer). n KINGSTON, APRIL u. The proceedings of the legislature, is Ks far as they affect the trade of the colony, have not been of a character to lead to the supposition that the impending dispute between the , Council and the Assembly will be immediately settled. The latter body it is expected will re-enact the existing Import Duty Bill, but in such a shape as will render it doubtful if the council will accede to it. The existing Import Duty Bill will expire with this month ; and in the event of the council objecting to any new act which may pass the as sembly prior to the 30th inst., a recurrence of that state of things which was produced some four years back by similar conduct on the part of the legislature, is likely to be the result. tinder these circumstances, all business operations are arrested, and dealers for the most part will only pur chase for immediate consumption. GOLD AND SlLVER.—Duubloons continue very scarce, and cmitmand 4 per cent. American and British gold are worth per cent. premium. Silver dollars are quoted at the same value. This rise in the value of coin is attribu table chiefly to the eager desire of the large number of Coolies who are leaving the island to obtain any description of gold or silver which is or may become current in India, in exchange for our local notes. A rather large amount, too. will be taken away by the passengers per Glentanner which appointed to sail hence for lslelbourne tomorrow. ExcitANGes ON Los:DON.—Colonial and Jamaica Banks: 90 d Is, 1 per cent. pram. ; GO days, 11 per cent. prem. ; 30 dap, 2 per cent. prem. PROSELTTIBING AT JERUSALEM.—The Trieste Ga zette publishes a letter dated March 27, in which it is said that on the 2tth the members of the English mission for the conversion of the' Jews assembled beforo the Great Synagogue, whist service was going on in the interior, and began making furious speeches against the Jews and the Talmud. A Jew threw a dead cat at the head of the physi cian of the mission, and this was the signal for a conflict be tween the Jews and the English—both parties pelting one another with stones and mud. Eventually the English had to take to flight, and they 'care pursued by several hundred furious Jews. The chief Rabbi protested against those pro ccedings to the consuls. ROBBERY IN OIFORD-STREET.—Yeaterday morn- inginformatien was forwarded from the "servile police sta tions of an extensive burglary which were effected on the prem;ses of Mr. W. Burchett, two doors from Prince's street, Orford-street, when property to the amount of seve ral hundred pounds was carried off, between the hours of ten o clock on Saturday night and seven o'clock on Monday molting last. The upper part of the shjoining house is to let, and through it the thieves are supposed to have effected an entrance. They then commenced packing up every valccble article, including 250 gold r.nd silver watches, 200 Bold guards, 700 rings, GO gold bracelet ', 200 gold brooches, besides studs, sleeve links, watch brooches, shirt pins, and other descriptions of property.
