The second instalment of 25 per cent., which fell due yesterday, on the Brazilian Loan of 1,373,0131., occasioned no movement. The Illinois has arrived from New York with 23,0001. in specie for England (besides 86,6001. for France), and the Sultan, from the Peninsula, with 4,0021. The Shannon will take to-day for the West Indies 18,5401. in specie. The Ceylon will take on Monday 228,0241. in specie for the East, of which 224,0781. is silver and 3,9481. gold.

The Stock Exchange Committee have had • painful duty cast upon them. The case of Messrs. It S. mid J. 8. Scrimgeour, membegs of that esta blishment, who are found to hat% had dealings, though to only a limited amount, with Pullinger, has been under oonsideration, and, notwithstand ing the high respectability and long standing of the firm, which have caused the sentence to be received with • feeling of pain in most circles, the committee have decided that no course is open to them but to suspend its eneral members until March next. It is understood that a large minority were in favour of limiting the period of suspension to six months. It has already been mentioned that, apart from a few communions of trifling amount, the transaction for which the firm is now °ensured consisted of a purchase of 5,000/. Turkish stock for Pullinger. Although the original purchase was made prior to the issue of the committee's warning against permitting spa en u w la u ti (inn,: thenceforth bclerk•i e•clo! Miad although on th t e he tnrac. Exchange, but was made a matter of arrangement between the broken and Pullinger ' it is impossible to ignore the fact that the firm has subjected itself to the penalties entailed upon • violation of the rule of the establ i shment. The fact that the two elder members of the tinn are the brothers of the manager of the Union Bank of London, and that Messrs. Scrimgeourarethetecognised brokers tothat bank, would naturally render the committee the lees dispueed to overlook the irregularity. As affording fresh evidence of a lax system this new episode of the affair has produced a very disagreeable impree 'ion. Thu committee's resolution stands for con firmation on Monday next, when their full report, detailing the result of their examination into Pul linger's transactions, is expected to be published. The weekly report of the Liverpool cotton market shows a reduction of id. told. per lb. in some quali ties of American. The colonial wool sales, which commenced on the 3rd ultimo, terminated yesterday. Owing to the revolution in Sicily no telegrams have been received in London from Malta for about a fortnight. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,1041.

Thew man is to be ceaselessly laborious ; he is to used az3 appetite, partaking only of just as much simple food as will keep up his working strength; he is not to partake of any stimulant or luxury whatever, such as set cm his part being • gross waste and immorality ; and finally, he is to be contented with his lot, shetaining from all comparison with other men's lots, sad thankful for that distribution of the gifts of Providence which makes him what he is. We do not by any means expect the ante lofty virtues in the " better climes." The literature especially addressed to them deals with • number of enjoyments sad pleasures which it does not denounce, but treats as blameless and natural. The ladies in our works of fiction go undenonaced to balls and pic-nice, or even to the theatre ; the gentlemen like field sports and good dinners, for which they are not subjected to solemn rebuke. Nay, men of matured judgment and worshipful standing will offer, without compunction of couscience, the result of their experience to guide their younger brethren in the choice of their wines or their cigars; and instances have been known where respectable old gentle men, conspicuous in the lists of malty beesvoleat and reli gious societies, have imparted to their younger friends the unportant truth that, in the end, a little brandy-and-water after dinner ants • saes ecodittition better than champagne or claret. —Blackwood's Magazine for June. Alain? Or DPDAY.—You remember reading bow upon • day not memy yeses since, certain miners, working far underground, came upon the body of • poor fellow w ho who had perished in the suffocating pit forty years before. Rome chemical ag ent to which the body had been subjected—an agent prep ared in the laboratory of Nature —had effectually arrested the progress of decay. They brought it up to the surface, and for awhile, till it crumbled away through ex posure to the atmosphere, it lay there, the image of a fine I (tardy young man. No eonvuhdon hnd passed over tbe face in death—the features were tranquil ; the hair was black as jet. No one recognised the face : • genemtion had grown up since the day on which the miner went down kis shaft far the last time. But a tottering old women, who had hur ried from her cottage at haunts the news, came up, and she knew again the face which through all these years she had son quite forgot. The poor miner was to have been her boned the day after that on which he died. They were rem people, of course, who were looking on; • liked edwagat sad reined feeling, are not deemed essential to the ma Inns volt it IN to get up coals, or even tin ; but thin 1.1111 as dry epee there when the grey-headed old pil grim ail lismiff era the youthful corpse, andured out to its deaf ear many words if endearment unused po for forty years. It was • touching contrast—the one so old, the other se young. They had both been young tbs.!, lon years ago ; but time had gone on with the living and stood still with the deed.—Presser'sdfoosziree for Jane.

ROUES OF OOMMONFL—FarDAT, Juin' 1. The sruzza took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS, The Bolton and St. Kakis Road Bill was mid a third time. PUBLIC BUSINESS. ST. JAMBS'S PARK. Mr. RINNAMD wished to ask the First Commission.? of Works whether the reeminnendation of the committee which reported in 1856 in favour of opening a carriage way from St. James's Park to Trafalgar-square would be carried out ; and, if not, what were the reasons for such decision on the part of the Board of Works? Thia improvement might he made at very little exrpense by the removal of one honk, which list only • lease of 11 years to run. It would lo of the greatest pomible advantage to the public. Mr. GRIFFITH said he should &liplike to know why the park opening at Storey's-gate was shut at ten o'clock at night. He thought that the walk by the Duke of York's Column and Storey's-gate was a legitimate way of amens to the HMSO of Commons after dinner, and he should like to know what was the object in shutting it. Sir J. SHELLEY and that the improvement to which the hon. member for Perth referred could be carried out at a t,=; expeuse, and he trusted that his right hen. friend be able to give a satisfactory answer on the subject. Lord HOTHAM said he had had the honour of being a member of the committee that reported ou this question, and he considered it right to say that, as the right hon. gentleman was no doubt aware, the recommendations of that committee were only carried by the casting vote of the chairman. He would further eay that it hail been pressed on their attention that the public had great interest in this communication being made. Mr. OOWPER agreed with the noble dun! that it was quite true the final recommendation of the committee had been only carried by the casting vote of the chuirnim ; but the committee were agreed that there ought to be at some future time a communication be tweets St. James s.park and Charing-cross. The com mittee considered that the proposed alteration for going directly to Charing-cross would coat 100,000 L. The committee did not go much into details as to the cost of the plan, and the recommendation only went to general considerations affecting the convenience of the public at large. Therefin, his answer would be that the reason why the recommendations of the committee had not been tar . ried into effect was that the question of expense had not been considered by the committee. The question could not ho considered as one for the improvement of the park, though it might be for the ad vantage of metropolitan communication. The ex pense invulvet would not be small, because though some of the pro pert y belonged to tha moire, it would also have to be - purc has ed of the crown revenues'. He was not aware there was any proposal on the subject from the Metropolitan Board of Works for improving this metro politan communication. As to the question how far the thing might be desirable, that was a point upon which it was not necessary to enter at present. As to the quest:on respecting Storey's-gate and other gates, it was necessary that they should be closed at a fixed hour, and he saw no sawn for departing from that practice. THE PAPER DUTY. Lord FERIfOY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he intended, in consequnce of the Bill kr the Abolition of the Duties on Paper having been re jected by the House of Lords, to remit some other tax equivalent to the amount of the paper duties? Mr. A. STEUART asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having declared in me of • similar contingency with regard to the bill for the repeal of the paper outy to what had now occurred, that he should take the earliest opportunity, probably within • few days, of inviting the house to repeal the war tea and sugar duty, he still adhered to that intention ; or what contingencies, then unforeseen prevented such a course ; also whether he was still opinion, from the quantities of wine entered since the lowering of the duty, that consumption would increase to the extent of 35 per cent., and entail on the revenue a loss compared with last year of only 515,000 f. Mr. CAVE thanked the hon. member for Cnmhridge far bringing forward this question of the tea and sugar duties. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Sir, I do not wish to complain of the criticism+ of the noble lord the member for Marylebone (Lord Fermoy), upon the conduct of the government in reference to ties appointment of the committee, nor of those of the bon. member opposite in regard to the financial proceedings of the government or their supposed intentions ; but I hope I may be permitted without any disrespect to be very brief, and I am afraid also negative, in my reply. In respect to what they have said I am afraid that in general I must be understood to make no admission, and likewise to offer no reply to either of the questions which have been put to me. (laughter.) I believe that this is the general and invariable rule in respect to the intentions of the government on matters of taxation, and certainly the reasons which inculcated that rule have a double force in a peculiar juncture when it so happens that important questions of taxation are at any rate for the moment inextricably mixed up with other questions possibly still more important than taxation itself, namely, in relation to the rghte of the two houses of parliament and the constitutional usages under which legislation is conducted. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord asks me what my feelings are, and BOOM. d to be curious to ascertain their exact state, with regard to the late vote of the Home of Lords. Now, the Chance for of the Exchequer is not usually 'opposed to have any feelings whatever. (Laughter.) But if I have any feelings ou this particular occasion I do not think that the time has yet come for declaring them. (Laughter and cheats.) I en tirely differ from the noble lord in the criticisms lie has made, and I must say I think that the opinious of the house, without committing myself ita to whet may be right at any ulterior stage of the matter—l think it is the °pawn of the house that the government have not taken an unbecoming or injudiciocs course in committing the question to a tri bunal chosen by the house itself, whose duty it is to make • careful collection of facto bearing upon the case, in order thatthe house may have the fullest opportunity of information before making up its mind on the subject. With that apology, which I hope will not be deemed dim-me... Huh I am afraid it is not pram ticable for me to give any promise as to remitting or not remitting any tax whatever on this occasion. Tim hen. member for Cambridge is quite right in raying that upon the second reading of the Paper Duties Repeal Bill, I did state that it was the intention of the government if that propo. sal were not accepted by the House of Commons to submit to the judgment of the House a proposal for the repeal of the tea or sumer duties, but I beg to observe that the con. tingency which I then contemplated has not happened. Consequently, the position in which we now stand being totally different, the time at which the question might his fairly pressed on me has not arrived. As regares that great subject to which the principal portion of the observations of the noble lord were mainly addressed. ' I shall reserve to myself the right of entering • into a discussion upon it at the proper time ' being entent to leave it at the point where it was placed the day before the reuse by my noble friend at the head of the govern ment, and by the still more detailed explanation of my noble friend the member for the City of London (Lord J. Russell). With respect to the second question of my hon. friend the member for Cambridge, who wishes to know whether I still adhere to the opinion, " that from the quantities of wine entered since the lowering of the duty the consumption will income to the extent of 311 per cent., and entail on the revenue a less compared with lad year of only 515,000 f.," I have only to say it has always been my opinion, and I have always expressed it in this house, that it would be impossible to form any trustworthy judgment of the effect of the reduction of the wine duties until the Wine Licenses Bill had prised and was in operation ft will be not less than two or three months be -1 fore that bill oomes into practical operation, and I should not therefore feel myself justified at the present moment in giving any more confident opinion as to the issue of that great experiment than that which I ven tured to give when I submitted my financial statement to the house. Bat this I may say, that so far as our present experience goes the result' are quite satisfactory, and I have no reasonjtndemate from that estimate, which was nearearily conjectural, but suck as it war I ventured to submit it to the house. (Hear.) Mr. BRIGHT—I listened with great pleasure to the ob servations of the two hon. gentlemen opposite, inasmuch as they exhibited a great affection for the workuog classes, particularly in reference to the reduction of the duties on tea and sugar. In all they said in regard to the reduction of those duties I am inclined to agree, but I discover from their observations that either they have not read the debate that took place in 'the other house of parliament, or they entirely differ from their friends who part in that debate. Of course, I am aware that Lord Derby did not know that the hon. measlier for Somersetsbire (Sir W. Miles) had ever discussed the paper duty in connexion with the income tax in this house, and if he was so much in ignorance of what his hon. friend wee doing it is only fair to assume that hie friends in this house do not know what he Las done in the other house. (Laughter.) But if hon. gentlemen op. polite had observed the proceedings in the other house they would have discovered thet it was not a question whether the paper duty war good or bad, or whether it was better or worse than those upon tea or sugar • but they would have learned that the whole ground Of the case was this— whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer, supported by the House of Commons, had not provided adequately for the waVA and means n for the service of the year. Th . at is the argument used in the other house of parliament, and upon that argument the policy of rejecting the bill was almost entirely based. Well, if that ho so. it is clearly not reasonable to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to introduce some other bill to provide for the remission of some equal amount of duty, which bill, I pregame, according to the new theory, could not become law without the consent of the other house. And if the argunidt for the rejection of the paper duty bill by the other hoMe were valid, nsmely, that the House of Commons have •" cieutly provided for the ways and means, ncit 4 tM od clearly, ' b 'the same argument, that house would not only be jug ' but compelled to reject the new bilL I presume thst.jmder such cimumstances the house would not expect the Cboymellor of the Exchequer to place himself in such a pontiop lp an d ) I am only sureriged that any honourable m e m should have imagined each a course possible. a have now got new mutters Ul d hav tau e to ti eons on, consider mush more circumstances into his more e h cem re t E rt ii: dly. to th,:l t Eith he tach i q u e es u4 t ,i in w view then heretofore wheu he considers what taus hs le to al im. - 7; act : i ! i f 1••1 nOOOO .... .:1 1110 112 110 112 101} 102 lioe los 110 111 1 106} 107 i i 4 1 2 44 s n ni il _ f j i 5 M b i d Si 3 3516 aioi 150 160 VD 100 -- Si - ii lii 12 12 24 IS 22 r at 3.1 lei JO 32 19 111 261 14 24 *4 17 IS 17 El J a 13 16 110 126 6 6 22 27 1 6 4 roe 111 .34 192 a 83f 1 78 no} 911 1-} 100 i 101 l i 100 { 10 eri zd ii 46 id i i 2 8 ii in i nel as xd al_ 44 Sf
