On Tuesday moinini, Martin Boshill, a gentleman always regarded as highly respectable, and residing at 112, Bedlord.street Sowh, was arreged upon warrant charged with treasonable cot so.racy. Mr. &shill is manager for the house of Mews. Orr and Bieber, merchants. Yester day the pr toner was brought before the bench of magi,- trate , at the police court. Mr. Robinstri, solicitrr. who ap peared on behalf of the crown stated that the grand jury had that night found a tree bill against the prim:ince, ant. he apprehended that he would be merely . handed over now, without examination. The charge against the prisoner was that he had been secretary for some time put to the Repeal Confederation in Liverpool ;and after the period that he nad ceased to be secretary he bad continued to be one of the members, and was ultimately appointed president of the St. Patrick's Club. Mr. Dowling, the head constable, an nounced that he held • bench warrant for the prisoner's ap. prehen ion ; and, after a few remarks from Mr. Rushton, the prisoner was sent to gaol. • INDICTMENT OF THE CONFEDERATES. At Manchester yesterday the chartists were thrown into a state of no little consternation by finding that 'he authorities had pursued an unexpected course of proceeding agaiast their leaders, by which there is every probability that instead of being examined publicly before the magi strates on the charges against them, they will be at once con rimed to gaol, there most likely to remain till the next mixes. A number of chartist leaders, it was stated in the Express of she 17th inst., had been apprehended on charges which were not publicly stated, but which, according to the statement to the magistrates before whom they were brought. amounted to something between sedition and trea son. Under such circumstances they were held to i till • • yesterday. with an intimation that by such time they would be informed what the charge was. On Tuesday, however, the Manchester authorities, through their officers and agents at the Liverpool assizes, privately tendered all the evidence they possess before the grand jury, and upon this evidence obtained a true bill against 46 persons, including the above parties, for con. spiracy "to incite divers of her Maje'ty's subjects to com mit insurrections, riots, tumults, unlawful aesemblies, and breaches of the peace, and to arm themselves for the pur. pose of thereby carrying on the said insurrections, note, tumults, unlawful assemblies, and breaches of the peace, and obstructing by forte the execution of the laws of the realm." This bill having been found application was made to Mr. Justice Creaswell for bench warrants spinet the harties, about three o'clock, and the electric telegraph ving been put in motion by the time the warrants ar rived in Manchester .'very disposition had been made by the police to act upon them. The result was that by yester day morning nearly all the prisoners on bail had been re-ap prehended along with others, and those not thus taken, on coming to surrender themselves were taken on the bench warrants, and cold that the former proceedings were aban doned. Tee names of the new parties taken were—Wdliam Burton, aged 62, umbrella manufacturer, 61, Oldham street; William Henry Chadwick, 18, mechanic ; Edward Clarke Cropper, 30, jo iner; Peter Feeney, 45, clothier; James Flynn, 28, shoemaker; William Heap, 25, spindle maker; Marie Hume, 26, smith ; Michael M'Donough (alias " Big Mick"), 39, clothier; Robert Remoden, 22, porter ; Thomas Roberts, 40, labourer ; acid Thomas Webb, 29, gluier, of Stockport. These eleven are in addition to the fifteen oat on bail from last week, and all of whom (ex cept White and Webber, who have been delivered over to the au*.h •.s at other towns on previously-hued war. rents) e ere brought before the magistrates at the Borough court, Manchester, yesterday. Ot the other parties against whom warr..nts are out, Trainer ef Sisley bridge, and Arch deacon of Manchester, with some others, are sup to have soiled for America, and Ernes . Jones, Peter sed AHD 'llOl, and James Downey, are in custody on previous charges. On the eases being brought before the magistrates yesterday, the Town Clerk of Manchester stated the fact that a bill had been found by the grand jury, at Liverpool, unanimously, against the prisoners, and hoped that the bench would require such bail from the parties u would ensure their surrender at the 111111iii.11 —Mr. W. P. Roberts asked if the warrants gave such of the prisoners as referee.] it the option of taking their trial at once, at 'the present assizes ?—The Town Clerk said the warrants were in the usual form, and direct. d that the prisoners should be brought before the magistrates to give security to appear at " the sent." and not the present " sessions of oyer and ter miner."--Mr. Itlbtets complained of this ass great hardship: prisoners had generally the option of traversing or not Mr. Maude never knew bench-warrants issued in any other forte than the present.—Mr Roberts was aware that this was the usual form for bench warrants, but bench warrants were usually applied for at the end of an assize, and the prisoners could not then nossibty be brought up before the next: in the present ease here were parties apprehended whilst the ',sizes a ere pendirg, and probably a fortnight before the close of them, so that there was ample time to prepare for the prosecution. There was one remade he wished to make, and let it go for much or little, he charged the partite who brought the men biro last Wehoesday with bad faith. Publicly or plivately . it was promised in that court—and between public or private bad faith he knew no distinction—it was stated that, as a matter of favour or justie, ' the prieum re shen;l4 know what the charge was against 'hem, and know also on what evidence it was brought. He presumed the present course had been adept. d to prevent their having the particulgre in avid. nee against them. Mr. Maude: No; they can have a copy of the indictment...—Mr. Roberts: Yes, they will have • copy of the indictment, go worded and interlardel with legal phrases as to make i: almost unintelligible t, them ; but teat be no copy of the evidence. If they had been eximined before the magi strate pr sinus to committal, as they were led to expect, they would have ho .wn the evidence, and what they were toespect.—Mr. Maude s,id the prisoners were discharged from their former bail • and were now brought on bench war rants. It would be best to let the court know their position in lite in order that they might judge what bail should be re quired ; for of the prisoner. who were residents in the town it would probebly be best to say that twenty-four hours' bail 'route to required, and for those living at a distance forty.ei ht boors —Mr. Itoberte said the magistrates would prelable accept the same bud again as they had ['ken before two sureti. aof 201. It was the amount taken by Mr. Justice Erie, It York, and who was sine of the judges now at Liver pool, under similar e4vumetanes s.—The Town Clerk sad the we was different tothatagainq these prisonersbefore. There \Meow a true hit found against them. The megietrates retired :or about minute., end then said that two sureties 0'206/. each and his own fecogei.ences in 400/. would be required for Burton and for Leach, Feeney, Cropper, Donovan, Weth, Cha dwick, Roberts, Devlya, Plynn, Fin• Sign, Kearns, and Ramsdi n two sureties each of 1001. each, beside' their own receenitances in 2001. each, would be re quired. Mac ()flail! sod B..ais would be required to give' two surpeir s each in at, and the other prisoners two sureties each in 251.—Mr. Roberts said, with regard to Mr. Burton and the lattramid priehners, there was probably some hope of bail; but with reined to the list beginning with the lame of Lege), the dec'sion amounted to imprisonment till the aseeee. They were all poor men, and, with retard to Leach himself, he (Mr Eobert•) did not suppose hel knew a nun worth 11 , 01. ; would the bench divide the bail into four sureties of 501., which had often been done, and was, in het, better •clue.ty.— al r. Maude: The court was not pre pared to grant that application at present. If bail could not be found, a, application might be made to the judge at the Bertnn ' who, it was stated, kept a shop of his • lo•esst da' 76/. Ios. tendered two sureties (Mr. Moss, tleentnith, red Mr. Set:city, draper), which were accepted, and he was Pet at liberty. The other prisoners were re Moved to the leek ups at the Town-hall, preparatory, it was twice of bail was Lot given before next day, to mug take:, to Kirkdsle Deo!, rear Liverpool. At AstiTog all was quiet up to yesterday, but the authorities continued in the same taste of preparation as be fore. On Tue,day corning about thirty risen were seen on thr road betw,ku that place and Hyde, and on the horse patrol from A-lan pore•;^g by, two of them ran after the policeman. but did not attempt any violence.

The following appears in the Monitewr of this morning : It Is not the fact, as announoed by one of the journals, , I that in the night of the 20th a part of the garrison of Paris was called nut upon a false alarm. There was no alert., and only the patrols went their rounds as usual, to watch over ' the security of the public. Another journal has announced, with expressions of a doubt, it is true, that there were some assemblages on Monday in the Quartier Saint- Marceau. his uniortunate that, being the hour at which it was vino to press, the journal in qua stion bad not time to verify the report. It would then have ascertained its inac curacy, and spared itself the pain of the retractation which it will not bkil to make. We cannot too often -epeat that it is by such news that an agitation as injurious to the pub is peace is kept up, and which can only promote the objects of the factions of all !lades. _ On this I have to observe, that the reports referred to by the Moniteur have had but an insignificant effect, compared with the farts which have passed under the eyes of the public on the days of Saturday end Monday. On the former afternoon the Assem bly wee invested with troops of every arm, in the same manner as on the 23rd of June, and on the latter day large bodies were posted and kept under arms for several hours at the Porte St. Denis, the Porte St. Martin, the Bastille, the Palais Royal, and, in short, at all t h e ' e point. whess it has been ens-, tomary for insurrection to manifest itself. Within the last few days a great number of work-' men have been sent to Belle Isle-en-Mer, to make the necessary constructions for receiving the 3,000 insurgents who are to be transported there. The wall of the place in which they are to be confined will be 1,300 metres in extent, and 4 metres high. The Courrier de Lyon, of the 22nd, states that, in consequence of the monstrous illegalities with which the municipal elections of the Croix Rouses were attended, the superior authorities have annulled them. The 3rd volume of the documents and evidence of Insurrcfction Committee has not yet been distributed, but wi,l be, it is said, this evening. It is devoted al most exclusively to evidence derived from the pro vinces. It includes telegraphic despatches and various reports of the prefects, procureurs, and other departmental °Metre and functionaries. The documents relative to Lyons, Toulouse, Mar seilles, and the western departments present some in terest. The events which took place at Marseilles on the 22nd of June indicate a certain correspondence with Paris. The following document offers some interest : M. Ricard, examined by the committee on the 22nd July, says: At the moment of the invasien of the hall of the Assembly, on 15th May, I saw Louis Blanc, Albert, and Barbel rise and encourage the enseute by signs and smiles. On the Place de Bourgogne I saw Madame Georges Sand at the window of a cafe. Near the gate I saw General Cour tais and General Tempoure, whose attitude appeared suspi cions. When Huber declared , he dissolution of the Assembly, I opposed him, but the mob ill-treated me. I said to the representatives " Do not stir ; it is here you must watch over the safety of the country." I brought forty Gerdes Mobile into the Chamber, and made them chars. their arms. A short time afterwards the Commandant Clary entered with his battalion, and cleared the Chamber. I was near M. La =nine, and asked him if he were sure of Ledru Rollin. I went immediately to fetch the latter, and brought him to M. Lamartine, who said to him, Do we still go together 1 " " Yes, yes " replied Ledru Rollin ; you do not know what trials I have had to encounter." On 23rd June I saw the flogs of the &tell , rs nationaux en the barricades. I accompanied M. Ltmartime in the evening to the barricades. I read, afterwards, the proclamations on the barricades, and the insurgents made me prisoner. The insurgents said to me," We have Cans eidiere with us; be is at the Hotel deVille,with eight pieces of cannon." During the night, some of the well.dispcsed came and thanked me for undeceiving the insurgents as to the real state of affairs. Two hours afterwards I was released. Various reports are circulated to-day respecting the debate which is to commence on Friday. Some maintain that the matter will be cut very short, will be finished in a single day, and that no judicial pro oeedings will be taken against Louis Blanc and Cans @idler.. It i. said that the projects which have pro duced sn much agitation in Paris the last few days, and which have called forth the extraordinary military demonstrations that I have already mentioned, consisted of an intended manifestation, by the National Guards and the people, to demand a monarchical go vernment. The Orleanist party are said to have no connexion with this. The project of the Mi&ster of Finance on the Greek loan has been examined and approved in the bureaux to-day. The project of the constitution will be brought for ' ward immediately after the debate on the insur rection. To-day the National Aaseni , ly, acting on the report of the committee of inquiry, annulled the election of M. Laisime, representative of the department of the Herault. _ PARIS, duo. 23.

The Cortes were formally closed on Tuesday last, the 15th instant. The ceremony wan performed by Donna Maria in person; and her husband, recovered from his Cintra stumble, was also present. At an early hour the strong garri son of the capital were under arms; the palace itself pre , voted the asp. et of a fortress heleapiered, the hall of the Cortes, too, being surrouoded with troops, while every spproseh to the building, as well as the entire line of route taken by the palace coral , " was scrupulously guarded by soldiery, both infantry and cavalry, while parks of artillery, in prominent positions, d to awe the people, end had the effect of in suring public tranquillity. Her majesty and suite were re ceived, upon alighting, with the usual state forms, and being accompanied to the sala of the Cortes, read the following address from the throne : Why Peers and Deputies of the Portuguese Nation,—The time having arrived for closing the present session, I tome amongst you to give public teatimony of your having joatiged the confidence re posed in you by ciur sovereign and by the nation. I felt the greatest satiefactlon upon the opening of the Cortes, and in viewing myeelf surrounded by the representative of the Portuguese nation, anaious and earin&t to consolidate and pacify the ciountry, arid to heal the wound. of our fattier-land by means of bind and .alatary measures, sad I come now to the midst of this rues 1310, congratulating myself with you, on the zeal and energy you ham dis played in the exercise of your august funcuons, and in realizing an noble and exalted a mission.

Other important measure. haw been laid you by my pwern men t, *bleb I trtont will, in the ensuing seeska, meet trom you the consideration required by the necessities of the country. Worthy Peers end Deputies of the Portuguese Nation,!—l bore the greatest esaisfaction in Announcing to you that in the midst of the extrsoreutary political mete that burr occurred le Europe durier your parliamentary labour., ereligy with us has Hither been dlaturbed nor hoe the alighting alteration ul public order taken place, and MU without my government luring bad recourse to any extraordinary measures, or the infringement in the slightest degree of constitutions. forms, thanks to the good *erne of the Portuguese people, and to your tithing co-operation. If your p aliamentary labour. hare ceasedefor some Maths. the batmen( of • grave duty is still incumbent upon you, and which I am confident you will pertdm with the greittem seal and efficacy. Dunng the rent from your legishitive labours, It devolves upon you to Inspire the people with that love for the institutions of the country which will be the mat powerful means of preset wing us from the per nicious influence of exonerated ideas—with them sentiments of obe dience to the lows and authorities, with a love for labour, and habits of virtue and morality, which alone can emirs real felicity to the people—no seadon is now closed. Her majraty then reign ni, in the same state as upon entry, anti has le7Cll a ith the court returned to Cintra. Beyond the attendsrce of foreign ministers, and some mew official people, there was scarcely a person of note present ; the nols.lity and the gentry of Portugal, as a body, keep aloof from Donna friaria's court. . _ - - Criticisms upon lid fl7ent II from the throne is barely ad. missible, and at all times ungracious, but one paragraph in the above address must not escape without comment, via., the assertion ,hat the government have neither had recourse to " extraordinary measures " nor infringed in the slightest de. gree upon " constitutional forms !" And t'is, too, with the very fact before . our eyes of the domicile of the citiz.n having been invaded in every direction by the armed force, arrest and incarceration of military chiefs upon false and frivolous pretext., editors and contributors to the liberal jo.irnalkbeing flung into gaol, and there detained months withou , even a charge being preferred against them. I say here mention that Colonel Horta, dragged from his bed months ago, and thrown into jail, has idiot been brought to trial; the palace faction se. re unable to substantiate one single shadow of a charge against him. His trial was at the Enlace°, a tribunal comp sod ofjodges, something resembling an English bench of magistrates The judges were unanimous for acquittal. Colonel Horta is now at liberty ; in the mean time the government press ate furious, and declare that the judges themselves ought to be proceeded against by the court. Poor Mr. Coelho, the editor of the Patriota, has not been so fortunate as his fellow-victim Herta ; he has not yet had notice of trial, and remains in close custody, in dell ince of all justice and of law. The government of Donna Maria have ackowledged the French republic. A fresh onslaught upon the opposition press has been made by ministers ; a determined attempt to crush the liberal and national parties, it is evident, will be persevered in; fresh criminal indictments are every day being preferred. The Miguelite organ, the Nrigao, is particularly the object of government persecution and hatred; the Nagao, however, in the present instance, is likely to bid defisnce to all attempts' to crush its existence, as most powerful support has suddenly taken the held in its defence. Local committees of the friends of the ex-king (these ecnaprise some five-sizths of the 1 entire naton), are being formed all over the country, for the object of raising funds to meet every exto-rase or sentence this particular journal may be involved in. Ri ports of these meetings are published from all parts of the country, to the tenor of the define court, as scarcely a hamlet of half-a dozen houses mt sends in its mite to the general fund, and its expression of sympathy with the muse of the prince in exile. List week a report found its way about Lisbon that the queen had been fired at in the neighbourhood of Cintra; but I can trace it to no foundation. Every precaution is taken against surprise. The country is in a wretched state. By the cluing of the Cortes the greater number of the t. deputies of the ration" may literally be said to be thrown out of work. Fs w amongst them have a single sixpence to depend upon, or means of livlihood, beyond their daily wage as a member of Parliament. This will explain to you the interminable spinning out of their sittings.

The poor law commisaioners in Ireland are empow, red to appeal against orders of removal. The act is to commence from the 2n.1 of Octuber next. _ THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.—The act of parlia ment to reps I the law relating to the use of the English language in instruments regarding the Legirfative Council and Legitleave Assembly came into force on the 14th inst., when it received the royal assent. For a number of years, applications had been made to repeal the statute, and it was only recently that Lord Or y, as colonial secretary, yielded to the wishes of the applicants. By this act (11 and 12 Vic toria, cap .56) so much of the statute as required the use of the English language in the documents mentioned is repealed. PRECAUTIONS 10AINST CHOLERA.—The council of the borough of Leeds have set an example to the sutherities of other towns, by taking precautionary measures against the expected visitati m of the dud. TA, the following revolu tions Laving been passed at a mewing of the council of the horaugh of 1..-eals, on the Rd, of August, respecting the burial of the dead: Resolved -That considering ample provision is made for the inter ment or the dead in the out kirta of the town, it is not necessary that interments shout. tote place in the town. That whakiver difference of opinion may exist as to the amount of injury to the public health arising from the print as of intermural interments, it is desirable during the next twelve months, when the cinders is likely to visit our shores, to avoid anything that may in any degree contribute to its severity. That In accordance with th'is opinion it is not, at prevent, expedient to open the parish burial grounds, but it in highly derirable that a memorsl should be presented to the Bishop of Ripon, re questing him to consent to an nr, er of reused, that no further inter ments shall ta►e place in the burial ground or burial place mulched or belonging to the church of Saint Paul, within the township ul Leeds, after the 51st day of Oct, 1818, That the council should order and direct, in pursuance of the 75th archon of the Burial Orminds Act, that no further interments shall take place in the burial graunds re spectively :tangled to the different chapels in Leeds. THE DRPR I. CI TION OP iLATLWAY PROPERTY. Sir,—ln your City article you from time to time draw the attention of the pantie to the great disparity which exists between the rate of interest for money invested which rail ways pay as comp fired to that of the funds. You show that moat of the leading lines in the kingdom are paying, at the present price of t-, it al.arrs, even with the reduction of their disidends, front 64 to 74 par cent., whereas the funds are nA p .ying more than 31. The least retileii"ln will s..ow that this disparity will at long i list. The public are now as much panie.strieken an regards railway property es they were elwed in 1845-6. It is true that many of the leading lie, s pay lower dividends ; but no one could exp. et that they would maintain the Fame rate of dividend on their branch lines that they did on their trunk; hut it would appear that the pub.ic in those days h ught railways at a price tat pay them little mare than 4 in r cent on their investment, and that now they cease to invest when the ordeal of the branch lines has been gone through, and railway dividends are in conseepience reduced to their minimum. The question is, what interest ought a railway to pay to those who embark in it ? If we may judge fr un the price of the guaranteed shares, the public would he ern en' to receive live per cent., and it is calculated that hail v .ys will settle down a• a price to pay the public that rate; if so there will be a considemlde amelioration in railway property, for there is nut, an cstah. fished railway that does not pay. at the present prints, 61 or 74 per cent. Mott of the rai.ways cannot be otherwise than a pacing property their traffic must, is the natu•al order of things, go on increasing; whereas • very year's experience and improvement in machinery will t nil to lessen their working expenses. Railways are not likely to be aupersedad by any other mode of 'nation, and they are the only inven tion which has hitherto combined the carrying of pssaengere and goods, and there is ',tithing that would tend to shake their security which would not equally duke the security of the funds and all proptriy. If the traffics fall. off in rants quence of the depressed state of trade, so likewise will the revenue on which the security of the fundhsldsr is hired. It is impossible fully to calculate the extent to which r ilway traffic has suffered from the depreasim of the times. Those who in prosperous times were wont to ride in first-class car ringes now ride in second clay.; and second-class ride in third. Those who travelled for pleasure are obliged to stay at home ; travelling is reduced to its minimum. As trade I revive, so will railway' 'raffle ; and the public will then per ceive the fully of sacrificing their property at the present ruinous prices; it is as much toe low now as it was too high in the time of the mania.-1 am, am, It—London, August 22, 1848.

Nothing doing in other grain. Potatoes were retailed at Is. per sack of 2016 e. in our market to day. BLACKBURN, August 22.—At our market this day there was a steady sale of WM ar, at an advance of 4il. to Gd. per bushel above the price of this day week. Oats were in very short supply, and 3d. to 51 per bushel dearer. Barley was 3d. per bushel dearer. Pear were 2 2a., and Egyptian 2s. 6d. Per qr. dearer. There was a pm..se in the demand for Indian Corn, and the business done in it was only limited ; but an advance of 35. per qr. above the rates of this day week was obtained. Indian Corn Meal was le. 6d per barrel dearer, but a very slow sale. Old Oatmeal was Is. to 2s. per barrel dearer, and not much offering ' • a little new Irish was sold at 325. per load. There was a fair demand for English and Irish Flour, at an advance of 3s. per sack ; Canada Flour was about 3s. 6d. per barrel dearer; the beat brands brought 35e. per barrel. BOSTON, August 23. —With a moderate supply Wheat has advanced 3s. to es. per qr. in our market to-day. Oats atd ans la. dearer. We had several samples of new Wheat offering, generally in good condition, and of fair quality. The weather still continues showery, tending to delay har vest operations, but up to the present time the effect has not been serious in this district. Wheat, red, 52a. to She.; white, 57.. to 60s. Oat., 17a. to 235. Beans, 381. to 40a. per quarter. - - - CHICHESTER, August 23.-In consequence of the con tinned wet weather at the commencemen; of the market, farmers asked very high prices for their wheat, which the millers would not accede to, consequently very little business was done. We, however, quote prices 4s. per qr. higher than last market-day. What few samples of other grain appeared at market met a ready sale, at somewhat higher rates. Wheat, 565. to 625. Barley, 30s. to 345. Oats, 225. to 255. Beans, 40s. to 42a. Peas, 40a. to 42a. Flour, 445. to 45e. per sack. EXETER, August 22.-For prime Wheat an advance of a very decided nature was established. Eight shillings per bushel being as once offered for some prime old Wheat, and temples not being with any freedom shown, • further rise to 83. 3d. per bushel speedily took place, from which rate prices crept pn until Bs. 6d. per bushel was offered, and re fused by the - holders, who declared 9s. to be their price, and to this, wi th a warranty as to weight, it at length came. Under such circumstances, as may well be conceived, the state of the market was that of feverishness, and great excitement pre vailed. As to supplies from o ther quarters, a cargo was announced from the eutern counties, which comes to hand on terms more favourable to the buyer than are attainable here, and the consequence was that some millers stood aloof from business unless this was to be effected on something like their own terms. Of English grown Corn, also, it may be mentioned. A fine sample of new Wheat was shown by Mr. Nicks, of Matford, Alphington. Polish Odessa Wheat was advanced to 565. per qr., or 75. per bushel. In English the business wee not large ; the salsa reaching scarcely 348 qrs., but attended by an advance of ss. Old. on the average qr. • and nearly 71d. on the bushel. On the quotation, as com pared with that of the preceding week, the advance is just Is. per bushel, or Ba. per quarter. Flour advanced in price ; busin g al, however, was dull, the bakers buying ex ceedingly cautiously, and to an amount sufficient only to meet present wants. Fin* Flour, therefore, must be quoted at from 455. to 48e. per sack of 280 lbs. weight at wholesale, and from 51s. to 545. per sack at retail ; seconds wu from 43a. to 465. per sack at wholesale, and from 491. to 525. per sack at retail. Barley: A larger amount of business was done, at Is. per bushel. Foreign Barl , y, at from 3s. 63. to Is. 9d. per bushel. Of English, rather more than 159 qrs. were sold, at an average of 345. 44. per qr., and 4s. 314. per bushel. Oats ; in this market the attendance was thin, and not only were the higher rates of prices more generally ob tained, but that prime Oats are better worth ; average, 265. 21d. per qr., and Is. 3ld. per bushel. HALISWORTH, August 22.-We had a good show of old Wheat, for which, in consequence of continued wet weather, very irregular prices were asked, and the trade closed at an advance of 4s. to ss. per qr. A taw samples of new shown, various in quality, and for the most part in moderate cuttli lion. Not half t he Wheat is this district housed. Wheat, old, 545. to 60s. ; new, 52a. to 575. per qr. Rouronn, August 23.—Owing to the continued stormy weather, the farmers wanted an advance of 46. to 6s. per qr. for Wheat, with a scanty supply, whet sold being about 4s. above last week's prices. Rye Is. dearer. Wheat, 555. to 68s. Barley, 30.. to 333 • grinding, 27.. to 30s. Oats, 21s. to 27e. Beans, 356. to 3235. Peas, 355. to 38a. Rye, 30s. to 325. SPALDING, August 22.—During the market we have bad several showers ; this, coupled with the excessive wet of late, causes the farmers, who are the principal holders of old Wheats, to keep firm for an advance of 6.., but 4s. was generally given by the millers, whom we believe are no speculators beyond one or two weeks' consumption. It is to be feared the Potato crop will be next to nothing, as the bulk of them are either dveoloured or entirely rotten. Their is no question but the disease in this neighbourhood is mach worse than qp any former season. Dunus, August 22.—We have had much rain and tern peatuous weather since Friday; but this morning proving tine has checked the anxiety, and preventd the great effect lon prices anticipated by many. We must, however, advance our prices Is. per barrel for Wheat, and 6d. per cwt. for i Flour. Other things are a ready sale at the rates of Friday. The following is the currency—Wheat, per 2801 b., red, 30s. to 36, ; white, 325. to 365. Oats, per 1961 b , 13s to 155.64.; new, I ts. 6d. to 14s. Bere, per 2241 b., Ils. to 13s.

CONATANTINOPLE, August s.—Wheat is a shade higher: Hard, 19 to 20 piss. the klo.; soft, 14 to 15. Freights for Er gland are 9s. the qr. ; to load in the Danube for England, 601. per ton. Exchange on London : 3 months, 110 pia' the pound sterling. HOPS.—WORCESTER, August 23.—There are moat disastrous accounts received this morning from the Hop dis tricts, the plantations having sustained very extensive and serious damage by the gales of wind on Monday last, which, in • few boon, is raid to have prostrated thousam's of poke, and otherwise battered and bruised the hive to so-h an ex. tent, that all hopes of there being an &veritg^ crop gr.iwn are quire over, for the duty, which oc Saturday wee backed at 20,000 i., iv now sit at 14,0001., with no one in favour of that amount. It does not appear that the storm raged with each terrific violecce in Kent and SataeX, no reports to that eft, et having reached us; the plantation@ there, however, are going on badly, the heavy rain producing mould, and the cold nights preventing the expansion of the blcasom into Hop. The market is brisk, and prices 3s. higher this week. The duty for the kingdom as estimated at 100,0001.

As to the former, the stock was nut sold out, although in prices the difference between this and the preceding week was only of a very minor deem ifeion. As ti Sheep, 6.1 d. per lb. s:emed the utmost that could be obtained. Pat Limbs barely realised even the reduced rates of the pree. ding week.

DUBLIN ELECTION. Lord R. GROSVENOR brought up the report of the Dublin Election Committee, whicn stated that John Rey nolds, Esq., and Edward Grogan. Esq , had been duly elected as meml.ers of parliament for the city of Dublin. The committee further stated that they concurred in the report of the committees of 1833 and 1836, with regard to the irreitnla rides in the assessment of the municipal taxes which tended to restrict the exercise of the franchise. The committee had spent seventy two days in a most unsatisfactory inquiry, and they strongly recommended to the house to take early mese sures to prevent the recurrence of en evil which involved several parties in serious expense. (Hier, hear.) NAPLES AND SICILY. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Lord J. RUSSELL appealed to those me mist ra who had motions not to press them at that time. Mr. P. SCROPE said he would not press his motion if those members who had other mot.ons on the paper con minted to do the same. . Sir J. WALSH said that there was a motion on the paper in his name respecting the appearance and proceedings tt the British fleet under Sir W. Parker in the Bay of Naples, which he had been advised to press. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the forced loan which had been threatened by the Neapolitan government, and to which British subjects were to be subject, was the occasion of Sir W. Parker going to Naples. It was thought neces sary that he should go to Naples to prevent any such vbda tfon of the treaty between this country and Naples; hut when he went there he found that the proposition of • tweed loan had been entirely abandoced. With regard to the capture of certain Sicilians by • vessel bearing the British flag, the Neapolitan mullet r far foreign affairs stated that orders should be given not to hoist the British flag in future for the purpose of entrapping persons. As regarded the question raised whether those nersons were taken in the vigers of Corfu Sir Wit ism Parker was not satisfied, and after inspecting the logbook of the Neapolitan captain, who captured the Sicilians, he es rote a letter to the Lords Com missioners of the lonian Islands to inquire into the fact. No answer had been received up to the time when he last wrote on that point That matter was therefore still in suspense. No cause of dispute had been left between the governments on the subject of the I. reed loan ; and as Sir William Parker won not only an officer of great experience, but of great prudence and discretion, he thought the government and the house might fairly trust him with regard to any future procredin.rs which be might think it right to adopt. Sir J. WALSH was satisfied with the statement of the noble lord, and he would not press his motion if the noble lord would satisfy him on one other point. It appeared that the King of Naples was on the pointed sending an expedition for the purpose of re-establishing his authority in Sicily. Now what he wanted to know wee, whether, up to the pre sent time, her Majesty's government had maintained a strict neutrality between the two contending parties, or whether any instructions had been sent to Sir W. Parker to interfere in any way between the parties? Lord J. RUSSELL sato he wished to maintain the discre tion of the governm -nt with regard to any transactions be tween Naples and Sicily, With regard to matters as they stood at present, no measures had been taken ; and Sir W. Parker had not received any instructions that would deed him to take any hostile measures with regard to any of the parties. Sir J. WALSH said he was satisfied, and would withdraw his motion. In reply to Mr. lizaatze, Lord J. RUSSELL said they did not mean to prevent the King of Naples from exacting a forced loan on his own sub jects. (Laughter.) SUPPLY. 67,200/. for compensation to persons employed in the pub :service. 4,4001. for St. Donfrigo sufferers and Corsican emigrants. 2,0001. for the National Vaccine Establishment. 3,0001. for the Refuge for the Destitute. 10,7001, for the Polish refugees. Mr. OSBORNE said that 140,0001. had been already voted for the Polish refugees. He thought that it was time this should cease, particularly as there were numbers of their own countrymen who were in a most destitute condition. Sever Poles were receiving pensions, who, he understood, we driving a tolerably good business. A numerous staff was kept up; and, though he had the fullest confidence in his noble friend, be should object to any man having the control over so large a sum. He should divide the house. Lord D. STUART was sorry to hear the observations of his hon. friend ; but he hoped that, when the facts were known, his hor. friend would not divide the house on this vote. He thought that to stop this vote now would be the most ungracious act ever committed by parlia ment ; and it would not be of the least use to their own poor. His hon. friend was mistaken in supposing that he bad any control whatever over the vote. There was a time when he had the distribution of the money, but that was not the case now. No charge was made whilst be 'tad the distribution of it. He would be glad if his hon. friend proved that any of those on the list were driving a thriving business. He admitted that some of them had shops, but it did not follow from that they were not in want. When it was recollected that this vote was originally passed unanimously is favour of unfortunate men who had suffered in a just and righteous cause, he hoped the lions* of Coa.mons would not now withdraw it. It was no unusual thing for that house to vote some of money for refugees of other countries. There was no country that enjoyed a free eon.- stitution that did not vote money for the unfortunate Polish refugees. France voted them 50,0001. last year, and even poor Switzerland voted them money. He hoped that Eng land, the richest and moat generous nation in the world, would not cow stop short in her generoeity. He contended that, after all, it was economy to make a grant to these Poles, since if they were not relieved in this way they must be provided for out of the poor rates, for we could meresly think of turning the poor people out of the country. (Oh, oh.) He paralleled the maintenance of the Poles with the purchase of pictures for national examination, the keep , ing up a Master of the Buckhounds, and other modes of playing the regal magnificence and greatness of England. (Great laughter.) He saw no reason it Ibrahim Paella and the three young gentlemen from Egypt were entertained at the public expense here, why the Poliah refugees should not be entertained at the public expense. (Oh, oh.) He argued•that the grant to the Poles was not altogether without consideration, since the Polish Diet had for some time given support to out Charles If., when he was in exile. Mr. HENLEY said he bad been in some slight doubt as to which way to vote ou this grant. till the sp, eth of the noble lord. That speech, however, had fully sattfied him that the grant was no longer justifiable, whatever it might have 'been In former years, when these refugees had not as yet ha d time to look about them to gain an honest ins here, or oppor tunities, on h as they hail since had, of returning securely to their own country. (He, , r, hear.) lie saw no reason why this country should any longer be saddled with the maiute- Dance of these persons, and eapetially wi ile our own coun trymen were an extensively suffering. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT said that the vote of 1834 for the Poles was proposed by the covernment distinctly cud solely as a tem porary grant, and assur dly there was no tart of reason why the grant should now be continued, or longer operate, as a premium for foreign vngrants to w ek an um arced livelihood at the expense of that European mileb-cow, John Bull. (Great l.itiehter.) If the rolls lord must have his hobby, at least I. t him not indulgo it to the pteledice of his duty to hie eou•tituents and to his country. (Hear, hear.) He had no Unit. to act harshly in the ma' ter, and therefore he would hut t.,pose the grant if it were understood that it would not re-appear in the estimates ; without such an un dent. ndins, he should vote egain-t it. Mr. HUhIE said that the occa-ion for this assistance no longer tamed, and ha hoped therefore that the government would give a dialect pledge that it should not again appear in the estimates. T. • CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the vote had, indted, been in the feat inauthce a temporary vote, but it had peen grouted year alter year by the house, and Even increased. He did nut think, therefore, that it teat a vote which could fairly be discontinued by any summary prom's. (11. ar, hear.) HE admitted fully that it was not a grant whit h should became a permanent charge upon the country, but he urged that there were among the exiles many soca and iairm persons whose sole maintenance really depend, don this grant, and who were entitled to the merciful co. iederation of parliamew. For thee.• who could in any o tor way ensintain themselves by their own exer tions, he test eh to ly that all such persons should, after a full inter ig into their claims, Le removed from the list, and he wows uneern ke that no time should be lost in so re moving :hem (Hear, bear.) her J. TYRELL saw no realion why these people, be cause they had so long had their costs comfortab y fixed in the public tr•n-h, should be longer permitted to maintain that position st the expense of the Logliali provider. At the some time, it there wire a pledge that the grant should not be continued beyond this year he ucrelu not opp.ee the grant on the prey rat occasion. It was, no . oubt, extremely pleasant tor tie noble lord opposite. to keep up his popu larity at the public charge, but this arrangement was not shoeether ...convenient fur the tax payer. Lord R. GROSVENOR did not wonder at the little bull committed by his hon. triEnd, bearing in mind that his hon. friend had been sitting on an Irish committee :or 74 days. (EL. or) A. to the proposed grout, ha should certain', vote Kering! it, unless a pledge were git an that this shentld he the last vote tor this perpose. If we had money to give away in cha!itshle grants, there were a few people in Ireland and a few other in England, in Spatalfields and elsewhere, who bad some near. r claims on us than had the Poles. Mr. UIiQU hliT supported the print on this ground that r e had showed Rus,ia to denationalise Poland, and that eo•sequ«ntly the pr uple of Poland bed • full right to he maintained In Kagland.
