There is nothing in the leading articles of the Paris journals worth extracting. The papers are .princi pally filled with a discussion, which had occupied the Chamber the day previous, about the election of M. Richond des Bros fdr Puy, impugned for corruption. The election was eventually declared valid. They also announce the election, at Lyons, of the opposition candidate, M. de Nlortimart, by a majority of 108 votes over his ministerial opp'inent. The Presse says: " For several days the Bank of France has been extremely circumspect in selecting the bills presented for discount, and has refused many from provincial homes. The amount of its discounts, however, since the beginning of the year, has greatly exceeded the average sum: The same paper says, "there was a talk yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies of very serious news having been received from the Lebanon, where the former acts of oppres sion and cruelty are said to have been renewed. ' The 3/on/War contains a Royal Ordinance, autho rising the importation and exportation of corn at 111or:eq and L'Aiguillon, in the department of Vendee, and at Ersa in Corsica. According to the retarniof the produce and con sumption of domestic sugar, published by the Ministry of Finance, the number of manufactures in operation on th‘. Ist of January, 18IS, was 306 ; the quantity of sugar manufactured, or lying over since last year, was 30,003 ; 180 kilogrammes; that sold for consumption, 20,511,991. and the duty levied on the article amounted to 19:3W4,495f. The Journ , 4l des Nbats announces that the Prince and Princess de Joinville would shortly proceed to Algiers, on a visit to the Duke d'Aumale. PAIU% 21.-77ete loan, 75 20.

By the Madrid mails of the 15th we learn that General Serrano has taken possession of the Chtffarine Isles, in the name of the Queen of Spain. These islands have been named after the queen, the king, and the congress. These are three barren and Worthless rocks. An extraordinary express has reached l'aris, announcing that, on the 16th, the Cortes voted the law to receive the taxes, by a majo rity of 1.18 to 37. The following report is given of the ceremony of taking the Cheffarine Islands : a fetter from the Cheffarine Hands, dated the Gth, we leant that the expedition which left Malaga, under the com mand of Lieutenant-General Serrano, has taken formal pos session of the islands in the name of Queen Isabella. It 'ill be remembered that the expedition (which con feted of the steam-frigates Piles and Vulcan°, the nkrantine Is belle 11. and five transports), left Ma laga en the 4th. In the afternoon of the following day it n ached Melilla, after a somewhat unfavourable pas 'age' 11 11 irg takes some effects on board, the expedition waited half-past three on the morning of the 6th, when it set tail, and at half-past nine entered theconveniait port formed by the lilac •Is. The islands are three in number, are at tine leaeues distance from Melilla, and at two miles from the met. The port, from its configuration and depth of water, is tepre.eitted to be a very good one for all descriptions of %Tanis. At half past ten the captain-general disembarked on the central island, accompanied b- the troops and cfficials, and , Speish flog was planted. The artillery, &c., har:ng taken tip their stations, General Serrano placed himself by the side of the flag, being surrounded by the commandants and officers of the artillery, infantry, and engineers, the cap tains and officers of the vowels, his aides-de-camp, and ~,t he Persons chosen 'Co fill official stations in the "'lnds.

Than are four or five other parties charged with aiding and abet ting the prisoner in the commission of the murder. Ir. Bennett stated the case fur the crown. _ Thomas Flaw:terry examined by the Attorney-Genend.—l Um M the city of Limerick, in hfr. David ' , emerald's em ploy; in October last I was employed by him in making a distress; it was executed on the 29th of that , month, and took place at John Quan's. I was there when the corn was aold, on the 17th November; I know the prisoner James Skehan ; I heard he wee a servant of Quan's. On the day of the sale I asked him r ia lls key of the barn, and he mid that herself (Mire, had it, and was in town. I went into the Me look for it and could not get it, and thaa in the door; the primmer followed me in, mall mil I would suffer for it. In a few minutes ea I brake do door I saw a daughter of Quan's and James Quan, =1 his eons. They were in the yard. A quantily of barley, and hay was sold that day. I purchased the cent. The threshed wheat was removed the day it was sold, but I did not remove the own. On the day after the sale I vi ltiTrg. I brd i n t gOelieears with want sMe ai rail i t li telr. Raloh Ilia, the deaased, came also. There was a person named-Edward Allen with us, also James M'Mahon, Bolen Hanley, Michael Tobyn, and James Neale. 'They were all keepers. I met the keepers and some of Quan's family near his house, in the avenue. The keepers came back with Hill and I and the car men, to Quan's home. Before we arrived at it we met old Mrs. Quan and her sun Daniel. We had some altercation. Mrs. Quan caught hold of me by the collar of the coat. I was then at this side of Quan's, near where Hill war shot, within 'llin from seven to twelve yards of it. I know Mr. Fogarty, the surveyor. I pointed out to him the place where this occurred, u well as I could. When Mrs. Qean had hold of me her sun Daniel pulled her away down the road towards Lime rick, from the direction of the house. As soon as he pulled her away I wen t on towards the house. Hid, the five keepers, and the carmen, were all with me. The cars were with us also. IVhen going along the avenue I had a full view of the haggard. We had nut gone more then ton yards when we heard a shot, and both Hill and Tobyn fell imme diately. They dropped Teas close to me. I saw the smoke from the shot. I saw it in the haggard, at the quick-at ditch. I heard a second shot immediately atter the first. The second shot wounded M•hleihou. That shot appeared to come from the same place. When I heard the second I ran back, and bad not gone more than six or seven yards until I heard a third I shot. This shot was fired from a part of the hedge whet, there was a gap where a man could pass through. I saw the prisoner leap out of the haggard from where the shots came, with a gun in his hand. I ran off, and can't my where he went to. I came into Limerick and informed the porce. I brought aPnlahon with me. Ho was well able to walk, although woueded, but Hill and Tobya we left after us. I was the last of the party, and the nearest to the haggard. When I was going to Quan's house with the police we met souse artillerymen. 'the police 1 1 and I cram d the fields, and the police who got en before me arrested the prisoner, and brought him to where I was. He had but one shoe on. It was not an hour from the time Hill was shot until Skehan was arrested. I ran to Limerick, and drove back with the police. The artillerymen gave the alarm. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Hea : I was a turnkey of the city gaol, and was present at a great many trials. I know pretty well the necessity of good evidence and sticking to one's imfermation. Ha man tells a magistrate one story and a jury another he should not be believed. teJunsel here read the witness's information, in which he i swore he could not say where the third shot came from. 1 To Mr. O'Hes :My information was true, and was read to me. I saw the smoke of the shot in the corner of the hag gard. I told the magistrate so, and I cannot say why it was not put in my information. I saw the prisoner come out of the c alter immediately after the shot. I am telling the truth, and have no re , entment. lam perfectly indiflerent as ;to whether the prisoner is acquitted or not. Michael Tobyn, one of the persons who was wounded on the occasion of the murder, was next examined, awl corro borated Flannery as to the firing of the shots, and showed his face to the jury, where a ball entered his right cheek, pawed round his entire head, and came out upon the oppo site side, shattering the bones of his jaw and teeth in a most frightful manner; of course his evidence did not prove anything after he was wounded. John hi'Mahon, another of the persons who was wounded en the occasion in question, was examined: I know the prisoner, and saw him shortly before Mr. Hill was shot, inside the haggard hedge, with ague n his hand ; he was inside the sprit from which the shots came. To Mr. 011 ea: It was about half an hour from the time I saw Skehan in the haggard until Mr. Hill was murdered. Hobert Hanley : I saw Skehan in the haggard ; he hael sennething in his hand, but I can't say what it was. I saw bins there about half an hour before the shots were fired. 7.John M'S mare, a boy about nine years of age,exeraineil: I am nephew to Daniel Quan, and old Mr. Quan is my grandfather. My father is gone to America ; since he left I lived with my grandfather. I know the prisoner Skehan. He was in my grandfather's service. I remember when Mr. Rill was shot; before that I heard Skehan and other persons talking about Lim; this was three or feu days before; they said," It is a murder not to kill Hill." My undo said that, and Skehan was present, and said, "It is." I remember seeing the prisoner making bullets about a month before this. lie melted lead in a grisset, and poured it into two holes in the floor; I remember hearing the shots the day Mr. 11111 was killed. I saw the prisoner that morning coming up the road. There was a gun in the house. I saw it the night In fore ; it was a double-barrelled, gun. The: gun was kept near where Skehan used to sleep. Honora hPNamara, a little' girl about 11 years of age, sister to the previous witness, examined : I remember the day Mr. Hill was shot. I was sent to milk the cows about eight o'clock that morning. I was in the house the night before. I know the prisoner, and saw him there that night. There was a double-barrelled gun is the house. I never saw it in his hands. When coming home from where I was milking the cows with my aunt I met the prisoner. He was going in the direction from my grand. father's, and was running. lie told me if I raw any cae going after him to say I did not ace hint. I was then by myself carrying home the milk. This occurred before breakfast. I heard of Mr. Hill being shot after breakfast, and I went out. and saw hint on the road. To Mr. O'Hea : I never spoke about this until I spike to 1 the gentleman in the court-house. I often got cakes and I apples from Mrs. Daly, whom lam now living with. She is the police serjeantet wife. Svjeant Major William Reed examined: li am in the artillery stationed in this city. On the day Mr. Hill was shot I was out with my troop exercising. About 20 mit 'es before 10 o'clock, as I was on a road leading from the le. e to the Roxborougheroad, I taw some constables standing near a man who was shot. Upon looking to the rise of the hill I saw a man in a crouching position near a hedge. I told the circumstance to Mr. Cripps, the magistrate, who mile in that direction, followed by . the police. The man then ran off in a stooping position when he taw the police. .or. Cripps rode across to cut off his retreat, and I rode aer 'el the direction of the man, and on arriving there I lost fig - him, and was sure he could not fellow his course Wi• tmy seeing him. I then called for the police to search t• icld I was in, and they found the prisoner, who had one shoe on. I directed one of the police constables to search the field the prisoner was running in, and he found a shoe, which he said was not his ,• but they appeared to be matches. previous to this he had denied that he had run through the field where' the shoe was found. Alter this a man came up, who said he hail seen the prisoner in the beg gard that morning. Police-Constable Anderson, who found the shoe in the field, produced it, and also the shoe which was found on the pri soner. [They appeared to be perfect matches.] He also prove d that the prisoner denied that the shoe was hit, and afterwards admitted it. Police-constable Shannon deposed to having seen the pri soner arrested, and his statement as to the shoes. Mr. Wm. Wright examined: I had no communication : with Sir M. Barrington, or any one in the crown office, until this day. I live in George-street, in this city, next door to Mr. Fitzgerald. About eight o'clock the evening before Mr. MU wee murdered, three men came into my shop and asked where Mr. Fitzgerald lived. The prisoner was one of the men. They asked for " Mr. Fitzgerald, the agent, or Ilill, his man." th on j t h eohn Ryan same examined t o w n 1 an d it Q lr . . an Cu . r . r o I n ' r e e e m m e p ai l amr th en e t :witlualt ins morning Mr. Hill was killed.

Cll MCA STEAM-110AT MONOPOLY.—Sir,—Your readiness at all times to protect the public against coalitions and high prices, so admirably shown by the establishment of your valuable paper, induces me to hope you will give pub licity to a grievance that affects a very large class of travellers. During the lot three:years the steam-boat traffic from Chel sea to London has been divided between two companies, called the Citizen and I ron Boat; they worked separately, and the public benefited by the competition which existed, each being desirous to offer the greatest accommodation to secure I patronage ; the fare was originally fourpence, but during the last twelve or fifteen months the fare was reduced to twopence, and up to a comparatively recent period each had • pier on the Surrey side of the river, contiguous to Bat tersea-bridge, for the accommodation of the inhabitants of Battersea (the Red House pier being too far distant to be available for that district). The Citizen Company sal se quietly erected a Battersea-bridge pier on the Middlesex ride ' gave up the ore on the Surrey side, and made an arrangement for the steamboat passengers to pass free over the bridge as is customary at Vauxhall and Southwark, and as the inhabitants of Battersea suffered no p‘cuniary Mu, and the iron boats gave up their Surrey-side pier, they put up with the inconvenience of the Chelsea crowd in summer, and the keen wind off the bridge in win ter, without complaining. Thus matters stood until the week before last, when a rumour was rife that an amalgamation was about to take place between the two companies; and it proved to be correct, for on Monday, the 10th inst., the public found the tare raised to 34., and the accommodation reduced from eight boats an hour to four boats, without any option of selecteng, as one only each quarter of an h.,ar presents itself; and if it has the reputation of being slow or , badly appointed, you must put up with it: added to which, the number of stoppages between Chelsea and Lon-' f don-bridge have been increased, which causes a delay of about 10 minutes each journey. Now, by this arrangement, a saving in the working of the line of fully 30 per cent. has been effected with an advance of 50 percent. added to the tare, which is a tolerably 'modest spe cimen of the lilac junction movement; but as straws indicate a current, so trifles show the disposition of men, and the in habitants of Battersea found to their astonishment that the bridge was no longer free, the companies terminating the contract; h. nee, what confidence can be placed in their lilicrality if they remain unopposed ? I scarcely think Mr. Cobden, in all his travels, could have found two miniature pictures more appropriate to show the difference between free trade and monopoly. On the 9th the public paid 24., with twice the accommodation, and a saving in time , for that which they paid 3d. on the 10th. That this state f things can last long the enterprise of the present day does net lead me to expect, hut it may accelerate a change by mak ing the public acquainted that there is a good opening for in dividuals or companies with piers on both sides of the river vacant.—X.Y.Z.—Battersea, Jan. 18. Till OPPRESSIVE ADVERTISEMENT DUTY.—In the Times of Tuesday and Wednesday there are 34R advertise ments from coachmen, butlers, footmen, cooks, housemaids, nursery-maids, and maids of all work, who " want places."

It appears that whilst the night beadle was going his rounds in the arcade, he perceived smoke issuing front the pre mises of Mr. Russell, whip-maker, No. 14, and ha forthwith rang the fire-bell, and set about awak ing the inmates. After considerable trouble he succeeded in awaking Mr. Russell and his family, but the fire in the meantime had made such progress that it was impossible for any one to descend the staircase; the inmates however got out of the window over the roof of the arcade, and then passed through the adjoining house. After the lapse of a few minutes the fire had extended to the house opposite, belonging to Mr. Morel, toy warehouse; and also to No. 13. in the occupation of Mr. Perry, hair dresser. intelligence having been furnished to the fire stations, the engines were immediately despatched to the scene, but the fire had in the interim unfortunately extended to the pre mises of Mr. Jeffs, foreign bookseller, No. 15, and also to No. 59, belonging to Mr. Beaumont, ladies' shoemaker. The roof of the arcade was also burning most furiously, and there appeared every probability of the whole of the splendid arcade being reduced to ashes. The fire-plugs in the district yielded an abundant supply of water, and the whole of the engines were set to work, but fur some time little or no impression could be made upon the flames; and the firemen, findingthatthe major portion of the houses on tire must be destroyed, brought the branches to bear upon the adjoining property, which had e effect of preventing the conflagration front extending. Having fairly encompassed the ft tines, they soon managed to allay the fears of the several occupants as to the extension of the fire ; but it was nearly 8 o'clock before the flames were entirely extinguished. The origin of the fire is, for the pre sent, a ro lyatery. COMJIERCIAL h MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Beam and Peas scarce ; prices unaltered. Oats and. Rye were also is short supply, selling without variation in price. EXETER, Jan. 21.—We have had a fair attendance at our market to-day, and Wheat was offering more freely, but there was not much business done, there being too large a margin between seller and buyer. Prices may be noted 2s. per qr. lower than last week, present prices being from 7s. to 7s. 3d. for best warranted weights. 'there was not so much Barley offering, and prices of this article were fully maintained. Oats may bo noted at Is. to 21. per qr. less value. Fine Flour, 403. to 421. per sack. - • • - Lincotst, Jan. 21.-There was again a large supply of Wheat from our farmers to-day, which met a slow sale, at Is. to 2s. below last week's prices ; white, 50s. to 555. ; red, 17s. to 525.

Mar., Jan. 21.-The supply of farmers' Wheat being rather large, and only in poor condition, prices bare receded about 2s. per quarter. Spring Corn in limited demand, at unaltered rates. Rye Meal has not been so much inquired for. The weather is winterly, with a covering of snow and a little frost. Guano has been much inquired for. Peruvian may he quoted 9/. 5.. to 91. 10s.

Lin:eed Cakes, Hull-made, move off stea. dily, at 11/. to 111. ss. per ton. Good foreign meet a fair sale, at steady rates; but inferior are ditlicalt to quit. The arrivals of Linseed are confined to those from the Black Sea, say 14,110 qrs. (wish but one exception, vie, 560 qrs. from ltiga), the principle part of which comes direct to crushers. The market is, however, almost exclusively sup plied with this description of Seed, and sales have been made, ex-ship, at prices rather in buyers' favour; whilst holders of Baltic Seed are not disposed to press their parcels on sale. We quote Black Sea, 4.15. 61 to 46.. ; fine Peters burg, 4.55.; middling, 41s. to 433. ; down to 395. per qr. for inferior; Riga, 403. to 441. ; Memel and Konigsberg, good crushing, 40s. to 42... ; inferior, 365. to 38s.

During the period in. tervening between our first and second markets this week, the Wheat trade assumed a little more firmness, some par cels of the low qualities of foreign changing hands at previ ous rates; and whilst Indian Cora and Corn Meal met an improved demand at rather higher prices, other 'nicks remained stationary in value. Our market this morning having been tolerably well at tended by home and country buyers; the trade seemed to open with a better feeling on the part of holders, and for moat kinds of Wheat rather higher terms were required ; any advance, however, being unattainable, and the transac tions only moderate, we have merely to repeat our last quo tations. Flour, though not in active request, was rather more saleable at the rates of Tuesday. In Barley or Malt little or no change was apparent. English and European Beans were difficult of sale at late prices; and Egyptians, from the large supplies at hand and coming forward, declined Is. per qr. In Peas no variati ma. Oats continued to move sparingly on the terms last noted; and Oatmeal receded 6d. per load. Having several Irish buyers over here to-day, the operations in Indian Corn were rather considerable, at an advance of ls. per 4801 b. • and Corn Meal, being also in good demand, was 64. per ba rrel dearer.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 22 WITH reference to the sugar duties and the West Indies the Times keeps hammering away at the gene ral question. In two articles it demonstrated (to its owu satisfaction) that in the case of sugar a protective duty is not a protective duty ; and in a third that the West Indians have strong claims to this non-protecting protective duty. As yet, however, the Tones says nut a word about the practical application it intends to make of its ' abstract propositions. The Times, like a groat com mander, is concentrating all its logical troops upon one point, but keeps concealed the object it proposes to attack. It is appalling to witness this thunder cloud of argument, destined to break cre long err, some exposed or neglected out-post of free trade, in the process of being slowly and laboriously piled op. There is, however, a good deal of affectation in the pro found silence which the Times preserves as to its ulti mate object in all this parade of abstract economical dis cussion. No one has the slightest doubt as to wuat it is driving at. Its secret is one of those which everybody knows. The Times is caressing the public mind with ingenious dissertations on political economy—as a groom caresses with his hand a shy horse he is about to mount or lay a burden on—to prepare the way for the blunt proposal that the existing Sugar Duties Act be repealed, and a higher differential duty int psed upon slave-grown sugars, or upon all foreign sugars permanently, or for a longer period than that fixed in 1846. Were we West Indians, we should feel rather sceptical as to the policy of such a campaign as the Times contemplates. And the postponement of the annual meeting of the standi::g com:nittee of planters and merchants connected with the West ladle*, from the 12th to the 26th inst., indicates that the more judicious leaders of the body have also their mis givings on that subject. The act of 1816 granted to the West Indian sugar growers a protective duty against all foreign sugars, commencing at 7s. per cwt. in July, 1846, and de creasing by degrees till it should be extinguished in July, 1831. Five years of gradually diminishin protection were granted them, to render the shock of the transition from protected to free trade less severe to their nerves. The decision of the legislature—a decision pronounced after long years of inquiry and argument—was distinctly and explicitly in favour of free trade. The modo by which free trade was to be introduced was the result of a compromise. On the one hand was a party (aumerous and respectable) entirely opposed to free trade ; on the other was a party (at the least as numerous and respectable) earnestly demanding its immediate adoption. The majority in parliament, averse to what are called extreme mea sures, declared that in justice to the nation the trade in sugar must be thrown free, but gave the protected interests certain days of grace. This decision is now law. Right or wrong there is a decided aversion among the bulk of the commnnity in this country to frequent changes in commercial legislation. The un certainty of commercial speculation, the result of natural casualties, is thought sufficient, without the introduction of an additional element of uncertainty— legislation varying with every recurring session. If the West Indians were to take their stand upon the existing Sugar Duties Act as law, any attempt to assail it with a view to accelerate the advent of free trade in sugar would be hopeless. JOHN Buie. would protest against what he calls " continual chopping and changing." If, on the contrary, the West Indiana aim at the repeal of the act, not only do they incur the risk of defeat from opposing themselves to the very disposi tion which would strengthen them in tho contrary policy, but they run the risk of having the act repealed for a purpose diametrically the reverse of what they wish. We believe a majority, both in the country and in parliament, is at this moment averse to re , opening the question. But if the West Indians insist I upon having it arguid over again, those among the free-traders who might otherwise have remained lquieseent will renew their agitation also ; and many of the parliamentary majority who voted for allowing five years of protection to the Wee' Indians will ask themselves, What is the use of granting fine to men who instead of using, waste it, in unavailing efforts to avert that free competition which we have told them they must prepare to encounter? The increase of revenue certain to be the result of assimilated duties on sugar, is particularly tempting at present. That the sugar growers in the West Indies have good reason to complain of the legislation by which the mother country has for years cramped and cur tailed their supply of labour, we have been amongst the foremost to proclaim. But has the fault been en tirely on the aide of the mother country ? During the last six or seven years, the meet intelligent and in fluential of the West India leaders have repeatedly declared that with an adequate supply of free labour they could compete with slave-grown sugars on equal terms in the market of the world ; that the enabling them to do so was the only way to put down slavery and the slave-trade. But during the whole long con troversy which preceded emancipation, they stead fastly denied the possibility. They clung to slavery with desperate fidelity —proclaimed it the only mode in which sugar could be cul tivated until after the law had destroyed it. They left government no alternative but to maintain slavery with them, or destroy it with their adversaries. They lent government no aid from their practical expe rience in devising the means of a safe and unembar rassed transition from slavery to freedom. Even after the emancipation act had pa-Fed, years were allowed to elapse before they seriously set about the task of recruiting the diminished ranks of their labourers. In 1838 even apprenticeship terminated. In 1836 Mr. BUILNI.I.Y, when examined by Mr. WARD'S com mittee on colonial lands and emigration, suggested the possibility of remed'iag the deficient supply of labour in the West Indies by a large and systematic immigration of free labourers from Africa. But it was not till 1841 that this view was earnest ly adopted by the leaders of the Wet India body; and though they have since displayed most commendable and persevering energy in their attempts to carry it into practice, they have been but languidly and irresolutely supported by their fol lowers. Even now that the day at which fire-trade in sugar must become law has been fixed, they are weakly beating about to avert the inevitable, instead of in creasing their efforts to prepare for its encounter. The public say, and say with justice, that ten years, counting from the fiaal termination of apprenticeship till now—eighteen years, counting from the passing of the Emancipation Act till the final termination of the differential duty in 1851—thus purposely and irreso lutely wasted, are demonstrative that nothing will compel these men to trust to their own resources, and exert themselves as they ought, but the actual pressure of free trade. Ina spirit the reverse of hostile—in a spirit of friend. ship and sympathy—we tell the West Indians that any attempt on their part to obtain a higher protect ive duty or a prolongation of the term of protection allowed them, cannot succeed, but may accelerate the entire extinction of differential duties on sugar. The argument of facts is against them. In 1846 and 1847 the quantity of foreign, East Indian, and Mauritius sugars imported has increased in a larger ratio than the quantity of West Indian sugars im ported, but the quantity of both classes of sugar consumed has increased in nearly the same ratio. In the case of Mauritius sugars the ratio of in crease has been greater ; but that is owing to sales forced on by commercial tsilures having their origin in the maddest mismanagement. West Indian sugar has kept its ground in the market against Acct.. 3 46 - 1 31 31 lOom ay ; cash, L Fes. . rim nl,n4 e rl.llr z. 86; iii qtr and.. :y111,4% wi Lon- lontbr, Ditto roand• Lank Id. in dared, er the anA ■ h inst.
