THIS DAY, Four o'Clock. We regret extremely to announce tho decease of the Rev. Dr. Chalmers. This eminent divine expired suddenly, at his residence, Morningside, near Edin burgh, on Monday, tbo 31st ultimo. No clergyman in modern times occupied a more prominent position in the public eye, not only in his native country, but throughout Europe and America. His commanding genius and thorough integrity of purpose entitled him to the resp..ct and notoriety which he so early acquired and iii;; retained. The foregoing appeared in a Second Edition of the Daily News of this morning, since when we have received the North British Moil, from which the following is taken: The tl. epat consternation was spread over the city of Edinburgh this morning by the unexpected announce ment that the Reverend Dr. Chllmerc, the venerable father aitd leader of the Free Church of Scotland, had been discovered dead in his bed. On prose cuting . our inquiries, we ascertained that the melan choly intelligence was but too accurate—that the rev. doctor, who attended church yesterday, and had retired to bed lint night, in his house at Morning near Edinburgh, apparently in perfectly good health, was discovered by his servant at an early hour this morning, sitting up in bed —deed. The legs of the body were crossed over each other, by one of tl.em being drawn upwards to the knee of the other; an.' notwixt them a basin was firmly retained, which it is auppoccd the aged divine must have taken into bed on errriencine the first access of the fatal attack, from feeling a ampositi , n to vomit, such as might be created by any sud den apoplet tic stroke, or even by spasms. The body was quite cold •, hen discovered by the servant. Dr. Chalmers had been dead for some time. Thus died one who has been justly extolled as the ssert distinniisbed and able of Scottish divines. Dr. Chal mers held b .th the degrees of D.D. and LL I). ; was the first Yresbyteriao minister who obtained an honorary degree from the University of Cambridge; and one of the few Scotehmen who have been elected a corresponding member of the Institute of France. His collected works fill twenty fire duodecimo volumes. The rev. doctor has left behind him a widow to lament his loss, and a family of, we believe, six daughters, two of ' whom are !waned, the one to the Rev. Mr. hf•Kentie, of Ratho, the t thee to the Rev. Dr. Hans, of Skirling, editor of the "North British Roliew," and four unmarried. Dr. Chalmers was a native of Anstnither, Fife ; and it Is stated that he was born about the year 1780, and was, consequently, in his sixty-seventh year. He studied at St. Andrew., sad officiated as a clergyman suer nicely at Wilton, near Hayrick, %jimmy, and Su. John's. Glasgow, prior to his translation to St. Andrew's in 1823, an Professor of Moral Philosophy in the United College. In 1828 , he was appointed Professor of Divinity in the University of Edinburgh, hut relinquished the appointment in 1843, on his secession from the Established Church. He terminated his career as Principal of the New College of Edinburgh, in. stituted in 1843 by the Free Church of Scotland. His reputation was European ; he was universally beloved as well at admired ; and will be followed to the grave by the man of his country and the world. HORRIBLE MURDER.—This morning, about half put five o'clock, as Police-constable B.ettcreby, No. 121 D, was on duty in Queen-street, Edgeware-road, he observed a female, naved Hunt, walking along with two bundles, one in each hand. Suspecting that there was something wrong, as she appeared greatly agitated, he stopped her and eked her where she came from, to which she at fret made no reply, but immediately afterwards said, " No. 40, Adam-street." The consttWe repaired thither, with her in his custody, and, having alarmed the inmates, on proceeding to the apartment lately occupied by the prisoner and an aged female, named Mary Stowell, a horrible Sight presented itself On the floor fronting the fire place lay the b.4y of Stowell, her head literally smashed to atoms, a poker, with which the diabolical crime had evidently been committed, lying by her;side. A thick niece of rope was round her neck, tied in a knot, from which it would appear that it had been at first attempted to strangle her while in her sleep, but the effort being iaeffectu.,l, other means were had recourse to. At half-past 11, the prisoner, a maw culine•lookisg female, was plated at the bar, before Mr. Rawlinson, at Marylebone police-office, when the particulars of the above facts were given in evidence, and tae prisoner was remanded. COMIIERCIAL 4- MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Tiro o'Clork.—The funds have scarcely varied in price during the whole of the morning, but the market is rather heavy, and business inactive. The report from Mark-lane that corn was held rather firmer, although without dealings of any consideration, this b r ing en off market-day, on whichl there is usually less doing, contributed, probably, to the dulness of our stocks.

As was but natural, the extreme prices lately obtainable for all elterrip • tions of Grain, could not be sustained under such weather 504 P 00• 1 11. old • sort Of panic appears to have Seized an descriptions of buyers, as unreasonable , as the rush to get into stock at any price which existed only three weeks before. The decline in most markets may be stated at from lss. to 20s. per quarter, but at inch rates it must be borne in wad that few holders were disposed to realise, and, notwithstanding the fine wea ther, it should not be wholly forgotten that the harvest ia not yet secured, the immense supplies are not yet received, and that they are needed, while stocks in the leading corn depots of the kingdom are only trifling, whatever the result may prove to be as regards farmers, whose reserves it is most difficult even to conjecture, though haroly any one supposes them to be equal to an average of years. At to-day's mar ket there was only a small supply of Wheat nem the farmers ; they were willing to submit to a reduction of fall IM. per qr. upon last week's decline, but millers being in disposed to buy, even on such terms, many samples were taken home. A few parcels of 831 b. farmers' Wheat were sold at 785., which three weeks r - would have been ready sale at lOss. to ' Boft what, 18 to 21 ; botlj, 81, and Indlan corn, 14 to 14.

Prices, 80s. to 84s. &timely any Beans offering. Lama, JUNE I.—There is a fair arrival of Wheat here to-day, prices are nominally the same as on Friday, with little anxiety en the part of either buyer or seller to do busi ness; in same cases chance purchases are made at low rates. The same remarks apply to all other articles. Arrivals this week: Wheat, 6,731; Oats, 2,333; Barley, 900; Beans, 338; Rapeseed, 1,564. LEIGHTON BUZZAHD, Jr4tE I.—There was but a small supply of Wheat on offer, and but little business doing ; on that which was sold a decline of from 61. to Bs. per load waa submitted to. Spring grain partakes of the ge neral dulness in the trade, and might be bought on rather easier terms. Wheat, per load of live bushels', 60s. to 555. Barley, per quarter imperial, 50s. to 58s. Beans, new, per five bushels, a.. to 395. ; old, 345. to 375. LIVERPOOL, Jr - :ea 1.-Including further arrivals since Friday, the supplies of the week comprehend a moderate quantity of Wheat, chiefly foreign direct, and partly from Ireland, with a fair import of Indian Corn, Corn Meal, and Flour, from the United States; the shipments hence during the aame time, coastwise and to Ireland, continuing to be rather large. Our Corn Exchange to-day being numerously attended by home and country millers, and holders of Wheat in most cases submitting to a reduction of 4d. to 6,1. per 70 lbs. from the rates of this day week, which is about 251. under Friday's abatement, sales were tolerably extensive, the American news counterbalancing, in some degree, the great decline yesterday in ld ark-lane. Flour was also in good demand, American nearly recovering eke above-named depression, and home-made, as well as Irish, remaining steady in value. Barley, upon a limited sale, vas 3d. per bushel cheaper; and Malt dull, at late pries. Beans and Peas, being in slow request, receded Is. to 2.. per qr. from the terms of this day se'nnight. Oats, although more saleable than of late, must be noted 2d. below the currency of Tuesday last ; Oatmeal, notwithstanding, fully maintained the rates then stated. Indian Corn met a considerable inquiry for investment, but at lower prices than importers would accept : to consumers and for Irish account, however, the transactions were to a fair extent, at 545. to 395. per 48016. New York . letters to the 15th ultimo, received per Caledonia, report the quantity of Bread-stuffs likely to be available for chip meat from tLe United States generally up to the lst of I September, as even more limited in amount than the &Mi -1 cipatious given by preceding advices. Previous to the open ing of the canals the large exports had aimed wholly ex; haunted stocks in the northern ports of the union, and these not being replenished in the ratio expected, caused a further enhancement of Frices there, which an extensive demand for local consumption, in addition to that for export, promised fur some time to maintain. From New Orleans the ship ments of Indian Corn and Flour were upon a larger scale, but of the quantity of the litter 126,342 barrels shipped from the 18th of April to the 4th of May, 81,000 barrels were upon French and Continental account. and only 45,000 barrels for Great Britain and Ireland. The total exports of Bread-stuffs from the United States to Great Britain and Ireland, from the let of September, 1816, to the 14th of May, 1817, com prised : Wheat, 189,034 qrs. ; Flour, 1,656,802 barrels; Indian Corn, 1,360,325 qrs. • Indian Corn Meal, 431,432 barrels • besides small quantities of Rye, Oats, and Barley.

We kale had more lookers at cur halls to-day, bat no more buyer. No doubt our merchants are awaiting, in some measure, the decision of the general election, which all ex pect to be close at hand. Prices are merely nominal for all kinds of fancy woollens. WOOL.—HUDDERBFIELD, JUNE I.—Daring the past week a little more hu been doing in the raw material, but this always is the case after a batch of public wool tales; we however cannot report any real improvement, and expect that some time must elapse before mercantile affairs resume their wonted activity. SKINS.—SALISBURY, JUNE I.—The beet Long wools sold at 4s. to 4s. 6d. each. Downs, 3s. 6d. to 4s. Fat lamh•skins, 2s. to 2s. 6d.; small, 25. 61. per doz. All Skins without wool are difficult to sell, at any price, 6d. to Bd. being the sums offered. CATTLE, &c.-Bear, JUNE 1.-Thie market was well supplied with fat Beasts. The trade was rather dull at the beginning, but on getting towards the close all saleable Beasts were disposed of. The supply of grazing stock was small, which met with a ready sale. Prices with these as well as fit Beasts were equal to last week. The Sheep pens were as well filled as last week; there was not so many fat Sheep, but more couples. The trade was brisk, with prices improving from last week. The stock of swine was small, ' but trade was better than for several weeks previous. The supply of Calves was not so large this day as for several weeks. They were asking higher prices, which were ob tained. Prices: Beef, Ss. to Bs. 9d. ; Mutton, Bs. Gd. to 9s. • Veal, Bs. to Si. 6d. ; Pork, as. to Bs. 6d. per stone (head and foot) of 14 lb.. Hoggets, 365. to fem.; fat, 48s. to 565. Lambs, 18s. to 22a. ; fat, 245. to 30s. Calves, 183. to 38s. FAREKAPC JUNE 1.-Fat Sussex-fed Beasts of best qua lity made 12e. to 135. per score; second quality, Ils. to Its. 941. ; inferior, 10s. 6si. to Ile. Sheep were scarce, and fetched extreme prices, being of first-rate quality gene:ally ; some fine Sussex and Hampshire Down Wethers made Gs. per stone; other,, not quite so good, 56. Bd. ; moderate half- breds, se. 4d. to ss. Bd.; common Sheep, ss. to ss. 4d. Fat Lambs rather scarce ; those for sale were purchased at the prices last quoted. Calves were not se plentiful ; the prices this day were from 10s. to Ils, per score, or from 205. to 305., alive. SALISBURY, JrNE I.—There were nearly 300 fat Herons, Herefords, Short-horns, Runts, Heifers, Cows, and other Beasts for sale ; trade was slack, and many did not find pur chasers. Those disposed of were at from 6d. to Is. per score reduction since thia day fortnight, 123. being the top price ; Ils. moderate ; while some did not reach . higher than from 10s. to 101. 6d. Fat, fit for immediate killing, in abundance ; but many remained unsold, though offered at a reduction of full 51. each. Of fat Sheep there was above the usual quan tity ; some in wool, the chief without. Trade was inactive, and sales were only effected at a decline of 4d. to Bd. the stone of 8 lbs. ; 55. Sd. the top price, some good going off at ss. 4d. ; useful, ss. Fat Lambs were a short supply, and veld at the prices of last week. Fat porkers scarce. -- • - - - - - BALLYCLARE FAlL—This fair, long reckoned one of the best for Horses, was pretty well attended with cattle of all descriptions, although it is evident that the number of good Hones brought forward for pale of late years is somewhat on the decline. A good number, however, were disposed of in the early part of the day, at fair remunerating prices. Horses, in gord condition, for /arm use, readily bnnging from 2.51, to 351, and several superior animals were sold as high as CO guineas each, few, if any, exceeding this figure, al though 801. to 90/. wee asked for a few fine Horses, which returned without finding purchasers. Black cattle, of good quality, were in fair demand. Springers of the better class brought from 111. to 151., and others proportionately high. There seemed, indeed, a very general determination amongst all classes of farmers to set cautiously in making purchases of farm-stock. Taken altogether, the sales were leas brisk than on farmer occasions, and the fair, of course, duU ; which is not surprising, when we consider the depres sion in the money market, and the uncertainty attending all farming prospects for some time to come. LYNN, Joie I.—We have very fine weather for the coming crops, which are very promising. At our market today the supply of Wheat was moderate, and there was rather more disposition to purchase at the decline of 10.. to 12s. per qr. ; 61 lb. to 63 lb., 80s. to s6a. ; fine, 90s. ; Oats, ls. 9d. per stone ; Beans, 60s. to 625. per qr., to the growers. PLYMOt'TH, JUNE I.—Tho fine weather and the dull state of the London market continue to influence the Corn trade here, and at this morning's market very little business was done. Supplies very small. Satissuay, Jrwe I.—The market was crowded with anxious sclera but only a few buyers: and whore Wheat sold it was only for present exigencies, and at a further re duction of from Be. to 14s. per qr. The same qualil of Wheat which last Tuesday cold at 985., this day fetched but 84s. per qr., and moderate samples could be had at 80s. Flour, 70, to 7.55. per bag. Barley not in great request; some good weighty samples made but 60s. per qr., while much could have been purchased at from d Is. to 455. Outs were lower by 34,, 345. being the top figure asked, and some were in the market for sale at from 265. to 30s. In Beans and Peas little or no variation. For Yuitertioy's Markets see last Par). PARS., MAY 31. The proceeding's of the pxst week hare everywhere been ma; kei by a fall in price.. The continued fineness of the weather has added to the hopes entertaintol of an abundant harvest, and the holders of corn are beginning to offer more freely than fur some months back. The tall in prices in England has also had an effect on the French marketa, particularly in the north, and a further decline In Franco is csneitlered prtunble. In the markets mood arts the decline ha. been from 2f. to 3f. the herb. In the north about 2f.: wheat is at about from 42f. to 45f. the hecto., and flour 89f. to 711 f. the 100 kilo. In Normandy the decline km been less. and are, if anything, higher than at Paris. In the Roam flour is old at 1101. to 111 f. the 139 kllo., and wheat 431. to 43e. the 00 kilt. At Mere peees are tomewhat lower than those Just quoted. In Alsace and !Janne the quotations appear tending gm dually documents. At Stra•lnutt wheat was at 39f. to 57!. the 100 kilo. The ncenunts from the Haut-Rhin, Seltserland, and the Rhenish pr winct s, also speak of tower prices. Champagne and flvx , gundy have fallen about 4 .. the heat. Tourains and La Vendie still more. At Bordeaux whent has declined to 58f. to 40f. the hecto. At Marseilles but little tot,i net is boing transacted, and all et lower prices Lyons is calm, and shows lire decline than tamest any °tiler part of the kingdom.

He would never be thi advocate of &measure which might be characterised as merely " a shovelling out of panpen"—a term which, be believed, had been introduced by the Judge-Advocate, but which was an appropriate description of emigration carried out without system or proper management. (Hear.) And cruel as were the privations of the Irish people at this mo ment, rather than that such a system of shovelling out paupers for the benefit of those who were hit at home, should be resorted to, horrible ea was the alternative, he believed it would be more human and justifiable to leave them alone in their present condition to atarve and to perish. In asking for a bona fu . le inquiry, with the view of acting upon it in the next seuion, and m proposing it without appending to it any project of his own or of others, he should add, that he advocated colonisation as a means of relief for Ireland, not as a panacea for all the evils of that country, but as a mea sure auxiliary to others, which had been brought forward for the social improvement of the Irish people, and as an adjunct to the Poor Relief Bill, which was abaut to pass, and which, without some such adjunct and auxiliary, he believed would altogether fall in the beneficial results expected from it, and he had almost a yid would aggravate the evils it was intended to cure.
