Th at May he said truly of h e Lad n e t mom more tI. windy the! grim purlieu of ill. e sty church. I t t nay be mid truly of the duvets of France, for no one doubts that the 36,000 curates of France, take them all together, are men devoted to the welfare of the people of that country, and exercise a most beneficial influence upon society. No one doubts that the Menjtenour and tendency of opinion among higher mem of the hierarchy of any foreign church are favourable to tranquillity, peace, and order. But there lathis peculiarity in the church of England. We ought to take into consideration when opinions in favour of depe nding church and state are now announced, not as abstract opinions alone, that there is this peculiarity—that thonh connected with the state, the established church is hide pendent of the government. (Hear. hear.) That is surely a coosideratioo of the utmost importance. Now, sir, it used to be the boast of England that though our govern ment was weak our society was strong, and it was said of continental natl.:ea and very truly, that their governments were strong but society was weak. The consequence of having • strong society is that you have local government and public liberty and you have that national character, which is the pecu liarity of England, and which is the cone- Trance of local government. 1 cannot attempt to calculate —I contemplate with awe—what would be the consequences to our society if you were to withdraw the influence of the established church. (Cheers.) The change that it would produce upon our society—and by changing our peculiar society, the change it would produce upon our national chanicter —lion° which I doubt whether the most far-seeing sad profoundest man, most versed in public affairs, and moat practised in the consideration of state circumstances, could for • moment realise. But what would be the result of following this glib policy now recommendedin so off-hand a . spirit! Why, the very consequences we so much depre cate, and which may entail upon this country such fearful consequences. If the hon. gentleman believes, sal believe, that the existence of this church, which, though connected with the state, is independent of the government, is one of the strongest dements of our society, and one of the best secu rities for our local government and our public liberty, I hope they will hesitate, and will not, with such facility as heretofore, sanction such theories as are recommended by the hon. baronet and the hon. gentleman. I would ark the house, is this • time of all others when it is the interest of parliament to weaken the social elements of the country (Hear, hear.) I do not want to indulge in alarming views of the future. They are so serious that there can be no man in this house, and no thinking man out of it, who requires any one to impress upon him the contingencies, and the serious contingencies, that may occur. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I trust that under Providence our affairs may be so guided, with ao much wisdom and dis cretion, that whatever may occur, whatever changes may happen, this country may long avoid sharing in those den pre and in those troubles that may happen. But I am sure that the younger members among us will meet in the latter half of this oentuay, • period of time that will con temn very differently from the pester portion of that period in which we have lived. That has been from the reaction of former struggles • period of great tranquillity, of great prosperity. and of great progress. Happy should Ibe if the future half of this century resembled it, but no man—no thinking man—can shut his eyes to what may be the impending struggles of the world ; and, sir, are we at • moment like this to tamper with one of the most powerful of our institutions—(cheers) —one to which, contrary to the opinion of the hon. gentleman, I believe the great body of this country are wedded with deep affection and with a %eviction that it has operated for centuries rattly to the advantage of this country. The hon. getleman has con trasted the action of the church of Eng la nd with the very meritorious efforts and influence of some of the sects of very recent origin. But, sir, we must remember that we are considering to-night the position and establishment of an institution that hiss existed for centuries. The prescription that surrounds it proves the deep root it has in the country, and the wisdom which has hallowed its existence for such countless generations. (Cheers.) Are you then prepared to take a step which, at • moment like this, would tend in so disastrous • degree to weaken and partly to shatter the social fabric of this country' I cannot believe, when the bounce:dully considersthe position of this country, but that they will consider this question in a tra;and purer spirit than hitherto. I feel confident that extend to it a spirit of that character, they will not auction the rash and ruinous proposition of the hon. mem ber for Taeistock ; and I trust that in the division we are about to come to, we shall be able to measure the mind of the country, and not reduce those means by which, in the hour of danger, we shall be best enabled to show that firm and constantoririt which has before preserved this coun try. (Chee rs.) Sir J. TR AWNY said the right hon. gentleman had overlooked the fact that there was • very conspicuous dis tinction between tithes and parish churches. In the case of non-payment of tithes • distinct remedy existed against the land, but in the case of church rates there was no effective remedy. The more he considered the whole question of church rates the more he became convinced that they were irredeemably doomed.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Judge of the Weetminster County Court. The plaintiff, Mr. Thomas Foster, is • printer M Middle row, Holborn, and the defendant, Mr. Edward Morris Wat son, was the chairman of Cokmel Dickson's election com mittee, on the occasion of his contesting Marylebone with Lord Fermoy. The plaint was lodged to recover the snm of 211. 13s. 4d. due at the foot at the following account : To printing 5,000 bill.—" Feemoy's Fallings" £ 6 0 0 To advertisements in St. Pose... and Holborn Timm 0 10 0 To 2,000 copies St. Pancras and Holborn Times 4 3 4 To Colonel Dickson's address to electors ll 0 0 £2l 13 4 The plaintiff had previously attempted to recover the amount of the claim from Colonel Dickson himself, but as it appeared at the hearing that the orders in question were riven by the defendant previous to his appouitment in writing as the agent of Colonel Dickson, the Judge ruled that, ender the 24th and 31st sections of the 17th and 18th Vie., cap. 102, Colonel Dickson was not liable ( or the orders given by the defendant prior to that date. He must there fore sue Mr. Watson on his personal liability. In pursuance of that judgment the plaintiff accordingly brought an action apinet Mr. Watson : when the judge, adhering to his former ruling, told the jury that as Colonel Dickson was not liable the defeadsat mut be, and they therefore found for the plaintiff. Ageism. that ruling of the learned judge the pre sent ap al pe was intend. Mr. Ludy and Mr. Douglas Browne appeared for the appellant ; lb. L. Kelly for the respondent. The Court ruled that there must be a new trial, on the ground of the judger direction being wrong. STOCK JOBBING. Mr. BOVILL moved for leave to bring is a bill to repeal so much of the statutes relating to stock-jobbing as pre yenta persons selling and disposing of Stocks or other securities of which they are not possessed. He said, if the house agreed to the introduction of this bill, they would then have two bills before them—one for the total repeal of Sir John Barnard's Act, am! the other for the partied repeal of it ; and it would be for them to discus and determine which of the two bills they would pies. Mr. LAINO said the object of the hon. and learned gentleman wee precisely the same aa that of the government in proposing the repeal of Sir J. Banners Act. The government would not, however, oppose the introduction of the bill. _ Leavewu therefore given. HIGHLAND ROADS AND BRIDGES BILL Mr. LAING moved to nominate the select committee oa the Highland Roads and Bridges Bill : Mr. Laing, Sir William Dunbar, the uisof Stafford, Mr. Henry &till ie, Mr. Fiala'', Mr. Edward • ; and five members to be added by the committee of selection.—Agreed to.

DLODORISATION OF Tx3 THAIIIJI.—A report on the practicability and probable efficacy of the plan proposed to be adopted by the Metropolitan Board of 11 , ot ks for deodorising the sewage of London by means of perchlorole of hoe, was yesterday presented to the Improvement Com mittee of the City Sewers Commission by Dr. Letheby, their medical officer of health. Dr. Letheby states that not only has he tested in the laboratory the powers of almost every disinfectant that has been proposed, but he has also visited the principal towns in England where processes of deodorization are largely carried out, and he is hound to state that the result of all these inquiries, guided by the principles of chemistry and hygiene, is not favourable to the proposed scheme of the Metropolitan Board. The plan which is recommended is to cast into the sewers during the hot weather a concentrated solution of perehloriile of iron. This is to be used in the proportion of about six grains to the gallon of sewage ; and the precipitate which it forms with the sewage is not to be removed, hut it is to be allow,' to flow into the Thames with the rest of the liquor. The result of this will be, not a prevention of the putrefactive proems, but merely a delaying of it. At the utmoid its effects will last for only about nine days, and then the putrefactive change will continue in its usual way. As far as his knowledge, experience, and experirueuts have gone he is led to the conclusion that the use of perchlaride of iron as • disinfectant of sewage, and a purifier of the Thames, will be a serious failure, unites indeed means are taken for the separation of the solid matter from the sewage, and the disposal of the clear liquid aloe. THE New MEDICAL RELIEF BILL.—The Boards of Gesnlians of the township of Manchester. of the Charlton Union, and of various other unions in the neigh• bourhood, have unanimously agreed to petition against the Medical Relief Bill now before parliament, on the ground that the measure is one calculate( improperly to increase I the fees of dicers &Ad atteoci ' ALP Ovwerof gettapi orders in a way that would prevent anything like check or orintrol over the cost by the guardians, although the guardians would have to pity all the expenses.

I*wranee yesterday applied for an order direct ing the payment of the costa of the prosecution. Hia Honour declined to grant the order. Mr. Lawranee said he should appeal if hi honour re fused to sign the order. The Court—But I don't think I directed the assignees to perscute. Mr. Lawrance—Your honour ordered it in two instances. On the 11th February you ordered the prosecution for non surrender, and on the 17th you ordered the assignees to indict the man for fraudulently obtaining goods within three months of his bankruptcy. The Commissioner—l do not think I did. I never direct such a thing to be done because it is in the discretion of the assignees whether they will take criniinal proceedings or not. Mr. Lowrance —Your honour ordered the proceedings to be taken. The Commissioner (angrily)—l did not order the prose cution. Mr. Lawrence—Had you not done so I should not apply for the expenses of the prosecution. The Commissioner—lf I made the order I must have some note or memorandum in my book concerning it, and my book is not here to-day. It has been taken to my house for another Mr. Lawrence—Y o ur honour did make the order, and the act of parliament authorises you to order the expenses to be paid out of the court fund. I should submit that the order for payment follows as a matter of course. The Commissioner—Then if it follows I have nothing to do with it. (A laugh.) Mr. Lawrance—The act of parliament requires your honour a signature to the order before payment can be had. Here is the order (placing it before his honour). It is very short. The Commissioner (sharply)—l shan't sign it. Mr. Lawrance—Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, in a similar case, after consultation with Commissioners Holroyd and Fonblunque, granted the order. Then the prosecution failed, hence the conference ; here the prosecution was successful. Surely your honour will not refuse the order. The Commissioner—l am pretty confident I made no entry in my book. W. Lawrence—But your honour signed an order for the prosecution. The Commissioner—Then if I did you must have pro- cured my signature. I cannot tell the precise language of every order put before me. H I did sign it my attention was never called to it. The assignees are the proper parties to determine the course to be pursued in such cases. Mr. Lawrence—Your honour did not make the order until witnesses had been examined before you day after day, and you made the order when the facts brought out by the examination of those witnesses were fresh in your mind. At that time you considered it a proper case for a prosecution. The Commissioner—Why should these cods be thrown on the fund? Lawrence —Will your honour endorse the order with your refusal, so that I may appeal ? The Commissioner—No ; I stoat. Mr. Lawrence—lt is a usual course to pursue. The Commissioner—Yon mu tell the Lords Justices I won't sign the order. Ido not believe the facts were be fore me at the time. Yr. Lawrence — That is a peculiarly offensive remark coming from the bench to a practitioner of the court. I never aiked for an order without taking care to place the facto before the court. The Commissioner—Well, I shan't sign this order. Mr. Lawrence—Then, m your Honour decline to endorse the order with your refuel, I must supply the omission by other evidence. The Commissioner (reluctantly)—Well, 1 don't mind writing " I decline to sign this. HisHonour endorsed the order accordingly, and the pro ceedings terminated. BAIL COURT.-APRIL 27. Sittings at Nisi Prius.—(Betore Mr. Justice Wightman and Common Juries.) NON•ATTINDARCZ OF JURORS. His lordship lined several persons 2/. each for non attendance. nowt" C. DOTD.-117/401IDIVAIT BILL CABE This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an estate agent in Bridgs•street, Blacldriars, on two promasory note' for 3321. 17s. 10d. and 35/. respectively. The defendant pleaded in substance that the And note had been paid to one Dean as collateral security for a debt under a written wsement that it should not be negotiated, and that the plaintiff had discounted it with a full knowledge of the fact. As to the second note, the defendant pleaded that it had been discharged by the plaintiff having accepted a renewal in satisfaction. Mr. Temple and Mr. Keene were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Harrison and Mr. Laxton were counsel for the de fendant. _ _ In support of the plaintiff's Me the notes were put in and the handwriting proved. The defendant then stated that he was chief clerk in the Registmes-ofies. In 1866 his father was indebted to a so licitor named Dean, of King's Bench-walk, for law costs amounting to 3;12.1. 17s. lfkL, and au agreement was come to that defendant and his father should give Dean a joint pro missory note as collateral security en a policy of insurance effected on the elder Boyd's life, but as long as the pre miums were paid the note was not to be negotiated. Shortly afterwards the plaintiff informed the defendant that he had discounted the note for Dean, of whom, knowing the cir cumstances, he had required security, with which he was satisfied. The plaintiff had also said be was aware that neither the defendant nor his father were liable, so long as they paid the premiums on the policy. The detail , dant's father died in 1867, and Dean received the amount of his claim out of the insurance. The plain tiff then asked the defendant to assist him in recovering the amount from Dean again, saying he had no claim on the defendant. Dean having been charged with the commission of frauds left the country, and up to the period when this action was brought the plaintiff had made no claim on the defendant with respect to the note for 3321. 17s. 10cL The note for 351., dated March 28, 1856, was discharged by a renewal, but the discharged bill was not returned by the plaintiff, who said that he had dis charged it. In his cross-examination the defendant said that the note for 351. had not been dated by mistake March 28, 1856, in stead of March 28, 1837. The date on the stamp had been punched out. The defendant's brother proved that he was present when the plaintiff told the defendant he had no claim against him, as he had been well aware of the agreement with Dean. He and his brother had at the time made a memorandum of the conversation. Mr. Dean's lute clerk deposed that, according to the terms of the agreement, the note was not to be negotiate d, but was to be held as collateral security for the payment of the premiums on the policy of insurance. The plaintiff was then called to rebut the defendant's evi. denoe. He deposed that be had received the note for 332.1. 17s. 10d. from Dean in the usual course of business, and had never beard of any agreement between Dean and the defendant. He had never told the defendant that he did not consider him liable. The note for 351. bad been accidentally dated 18.56 instead of 1857. Craw-exiiniined— The defendant's account of his convene- Con with him wars untrue. He had charged Dean 30 per cent. for discounting the bill. The learned Judge, in summing up, left it for the jury to decide on the question of credibility to be attached to both sides. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-APRIL 27. Satiny is Banco.—(Befare Lord Chief Justice Me, and Justices Byles and Keating.) OACILIT T. OODDEIN. -DIFFICULTY OF FORMING A COURT. Mr. M. Chambers this morning, in acconlance with what took place yesterday, asked that this mile should be post poned until Mr. Justice Wiles, who had heard the that part of the argument, should be in attendance to go on with the matter. The Lord Chief Justice, however, said that he had been talking with his learned brothers, and their impression was this. They could not calculate on having a full court this term, and if the case stood over until after the term was ended there would be a shift of the judges, and they could not foresee when it would be pnwiible to get the same four judge, who had heard the find part of the argument in court. Under these circumstances they thought that they would not be doing justice if they postponed the remainder of the argument until the former part bad become faint in their minds. Mr. Chambers said the learned judge who was accidentally absent had heard the argument on the other side, but only part of the a rgu ment on his side. The Lord Met Justice—Then he would take no part in the judnt. 3&. LUrnbere—Mr. Justice Williams, who would be pre sent next term, had beard the motion. The Lord Chief Justice—But not the argument of Mr. James, Mr. Hawkins, or Mr. Coleridge. Mr. James, for the defendant, said he was there to pro test against any postEskienientjle effect of which would be to ruin the Moulne, who had been recalled to India. After some further discussion the court said the case must go on. Mr. Chambers accordingly continued his argument, and was followed by Mr. Macounara on the same side. The Court took time to consider their judgment. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES. —Anui 27. (Before the Judge Ordi!arn Mr : JustiosWillee, and Mr. JV.l.lii]Li The court dissolved the marriage in the following wale. fended cases : —Pearce v. Pearce and French, in which the parties had been married since 1847. In 1852, the peti tioner having first duly provided for his wife, went, with her consent, br Aust•alut. In his absence she cohabited with the driver of a Woodford 'bus, by whom she had three children, in addition to her legitimate family of the same number. Ou the petitioner's return from Australia he dis covered these facts, and they rendered it necessary for him to be confined for six months in Bethlehem Hospital. The court gave costa against the eedueer.—D'Arcy v. D'Arcy.— The parties were married in Dublin so long ago as 1838 ; but lest year the respondent committed bigamy in London with a woman named Zillah Tempest.—Neva v. Neve and Wiley.—The parties, a labourer and a servant, were mar ried at Norwich in 1874. The co-respondent was a person in the same rank of life.—Holmes v. Holmes.—The parties were cousins, and were married after a previon+ cohabitation in 1852. The respondent subsequently twice committed bigamy, and was now undergoing a penal servitude of four years for one of those offences. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-Aniz, 27. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fans.)

Mr. Linklater appeared for the asaignees, and Mr. Bagley for the bankrupt. Mr. Linklater said that expectations were entertained of great assets being realised from some royalties and patents in the hands of the assignees, and it would therefore be de sirable that the bankrupt should not be released entirely from the obligations under which he would remain until he received his certificate to assist the assignees in the realisa tion of the estate. Mr. Bagley said the bankrupt would cheerfully render every substance the assignees desired. An adjournment was thee ordered until the assets in question lave been realised. IX II WALLIXIII. This bankrupt was n gnicer at Peterborough. He WAS ted by his assiipiees, in aoooniewm with an onler prosecuted Commissioner dated Feb. 11 last, for not surren dering to his bankruptcy, and for fraudulently obtaining poiLl within three months at his bankruptcy. The pro- INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Antu 27. (Before the Chief Commissioner.) IN RE GEORGE JAM RUBBILL.—A NOVEL CARL This was an application for discharge under peculiar Mr. cumatances. On Tuesday the insolvent had obtained his interim order of protection, as he supposed. He was arrested the mine night, and the sheriff's officer discovered that the protection was not signed by the commissioner. The insolvent was taken to Whitecross.street Prison, and there he remained. On the matter being mentioned to the Chief Commissioner, he granted a rule on the detaining creditor, Mr. Keeth, who now showed cause. Mr. Robertson Gnffiths applied to make the rule sham lute, and Mr. Sargood showed cause. Evidence was given that the insolvent had expressed his intention to leave the country, but he denied the allegation. The Chief Commissioner was not satisfied that the insolvent had intended to leave the country. All he had to do was to rectify a blunder which had occurred. He considered that he was entitled to his protection on Tuesday, and directed his discharge to be made out. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The court sat yesterday at Westminster, and proceeded with the appeals against the refusal of divisional_justioes to grant new licenses, antler the 9 Geo. IV., c. 61. There were Z.l cues on the list. The Assistant-Judge presided. . Unit Loibl and another appealed against the refusal of the justices of the St. James's division to grant a license to the house and premises called the London Pavilion, 44, Tichborne.street, St. James's. _ . Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh were for the ap pellanta ; Mr. Metcalfe was for the justices; and Mr. Cooper a on behalf of certain inhabitants of the neighbour P rot r l d Mr. Cooper, however, was not permitted to be heard as on that behalf, but being Mr. Metcalfe's 'minim the latter gentleman gave way, and Mr. Cooper ap peared therefore as for the respondent justices. The Assistant-Judge said the court could only hear two parties to an appeal, the actual appellant and the respond ents, who in these cases were the juatices. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine said the case be had to submit to the consideration of the court involved a prinMpl• of no little importance, apart from any . matter personal to the a p pellant in respec t of his interest in the question. The pre mises for which this license was sought were already licensed by this court as a place where musical entertainments might be given. The place was frequented by great numbers of persons, from 2,000 to 3,000 of an evening. In the morning readings, &e, were provided ; there was a rifle pUery connected with it, and altogether it was, be sub mittea, just the place of all others to have the privilege of a wine and spirit license. It would be objected in this aim that this place had been the resort of those wbo were called unfortunate women. No doubt that was true ; and to what better places could they go, in view of the recent I movement for their improvement and reformation? Was it not better than going to the bar of a gin shop, and standing drinking gm until all their money was gone, and being then sent, drunk in met MOOG, into the streets ? Places like this London Pavilion were calculated, under the responsi bility of a license, to effect • great improvement in this respect. Those whose recollection extended back to former years would know that a great change had taken place in the habits, and morals of the people generally. Drunken. nem was Dot now what it used to be, and this had led to the measure of the present Chancellor of the Exchequer for wine licenses, now in the House of Commons, which it was to be hoped, for the sake of the public, would be carried into a law, as it must effect a general good. This appeal was opposed by the publicans of the neighbourhood, but the public at large required something more than mere drink. A great moral and social principle was involved, and the 1 granting of licenses to such places would in the end prove a boon to society and an important furtherance of a great public moral improvement. Mr. Cooper said the appellant when he applied for the music license gave a pledge that if it were granted he would not apply for a wine and spirit license, and his license was granted on that distinct understanding, yet he had applied, and he now appealed against the refusal of the justices to grant him that which he had hound himself by a promise not to ask for. The question was now, was this a proper place to be licensed as • public-house. Was it required He submitted that it was not required. With respect to the " social evil," as it was called, this place, if licensed, would become a common centre of attra ction to these women, a kind of nucleus which they would continually surround, and where they, poor unfortunate creatures, would he following the miserable avocation of their lives, for it was there they would be sought; and where there was the demand, there, too, would be the supply. To show the purposea to which this place was to be devoted, he bad only to produce a placard which had been issued, announcing that it was to be opened, admission free, on Sundays for I refreshments. _ . . --. il) . e ,ra ise te. isiuit vote ittd ag.na r t th t e h n e hpoeu the eal and questi on, 3forit whenApp Mr. Sleigh, with whom was Mr. Poland, addressed the court in support of an appeal by Mr. Bignell, against the re. fowl of the justices to grant a license to the Argyll Rooms, where, he said, Mr. Signed intended to give high class music, and to abolish dancing if the court granted this license. The grounds upon which he urged this appeal were substantially the same as those used in the Aber cur t but he (Mr. Sleigh) thought the decision arrived at did no 4 deade any general principle that the Middlesex magistrates hatiiiie:+e, not to license such places, and he submitted that consistently with that decision the court could grant this license, as a peculiarly exceptional case. Mr. Metcalfe was about to address the bench on behalf of the respondents, but he was stopped, and the license was refused. (Wewere requested to state that Mr. Rignell had gl en notice that the appeal was not to proceed to a hearing.) The ordinary appeals were then proceeded with : Frederick Shipton, St. James Tavern, corner of St. Cathe rine's and St. Ann'./.road, Notting-hill, refused; Robert Pierrepoint, The Bolton Abbey, Lonsdaht-road, Ken. siagton, the same ; James Odd,, The Seven Sis ters Tavern, Broad-lane, Page-green, Tottenham, the same ; Adolphus Henrickaon , The Villatninca Private Hotel, Burleighetreet, Strand. In this case, when the question was put, the Assistant-Judge declared the license granted on the show of hands. but a scrutiny was asked for, when 18 magistrates voted against the licence and 15 for it, consequently It was declared not granted. Henry IRON the Halls Arms, Old Church-street, Pad dington, refused ; Samuel Reading, the Queen's Arnie.

He was found Guilty. The prosecutor was a teacher of languages, 55, Acacia. road, St. John's-wood, and the kwisoner used to visit his servant, who was thought to be his wife. The robbery was committed in an up-stairs room, in which, of course, the prisoner had no business, end he was found dealing with the stolen notes. He was apprehended at Hating, and a l(8. note and about 401. in gold were found upon him. It Wag proved that the prisoner pawned the watch.

Prices are about supported, but show no tendency to improvement. The sales of the week are limited to 350 hhds. Barbadoes, and 620 hhils.

COTTON.—Livemroot., Aran. 27.—There has been a very large business transacted daily throughout the week, especially in those classes of American and Surat which were but week so much depressed and irregular in their value ; prices of the former have fully recovered the de dine then noted, with more regularity in ordinary qualities, and the latter have recovered to the extent of Id. to Id. per lb. on the low rates previously submitted to ; the general tone of the market has also much improved. Brazil has been in moderate request, without any change of moment ; but Egyptian, owing to the late arrivals being offered very freely, is partially ed. per lb. lower. Speculators have taken 7,990 Amerman and 3,750 Surat ; and there are re ported for export, 4,980 American, 200 Fermin, 180 Egyp tian, and 10,480 Surat.

There has not been so much business as on Tuesday, in come. quence of the India advice+ they to hand ; but the improved tons given to the market by those advice' continues, and the transactions in clothe have not been inconsiderable, especially in cloths for India and China. Narrow printers, 26 to 30-inch widths, are 111,0 well engaged, at the highest rates which have yet been current, and there have been some fair transactions in wider fabrics of this class, at rather easier rates, but tending to more firmness than of late. The considerable business in yarns up to 40's has also given increased firmness. There is rather more doing also in doubled yarns. CORN. —CHILSIRPORD, APRIL 27.—The weather during the week has been very cold and ungenial for the season, with stmng north•eaat wind, which has retarded vegetation. We had a fair supply of wheat at market to-day, and all tau beat runs were taken at fully last week's rake. Beans la. dearer, also peas and barley. LINCOLN. APRIL 27.—We have had a good supply of wheat at market, a great portion being the finer qualities of white. Farmers asked in many cases a further advance of Is. to 25., which checked sales. In the business done last week's pnces were fully supported, although millers acted very cautiously. Very little doing in barley. Oats and beans quite as dear. Wheat, red, L3s. to 56..; white, 565. to I. Barley, 355. to 41s. Oats, 2G.. to 325. Beans, 475. foam. WAKEFIELD, AMYL 27. —A few vessels have made their passage, but the prevalence of contrary winds prevents many arrivals ; yet even with a change we do not aopre. bend any large supplies. Holders of wheat manifest no disposition to recede from late rates, and we must therefore write the trade very firm at fully last week's prices for all qualities. Fresh heavy English barley sells on previous terms ; the demand fur foreign rather adaides. Beans are Is. per qr., and cats id. per some dearer. Other articles without alteration. Wrrnaroan, April 2&—With continued small supplies of grain to our market, we have to report a very firm trade for all articles at full prices ; while for Indian corn, which meets a large demand, a further advance of 3d. to &I. per barrel is generally paid. 00ALS.-Lownon, AZILLL 27.-Beldles West Hartley, 16s. 3d. ; Benue &beide West Hartley, 15s. 9d. ; Davi. son's West Hartley, 16a. 3d.; Grey's West Hartley, 15.1.6 d.; Hastings Hartley, 16a. 3d.; Holywell, Ifs.; Howard's West Hartley, 16a.; lAmbert's West Hartley, 15.1. 91.; South Peareth, 135.; Tanseld Moor, 13s. 9d. ; Tanllekl Moor Butes, 13s. 9d.; Tynedale West Hartley, 15e. 6d.; Walker Primrose, 13e. 6d.; West Hartley, 16s. 3d.; Wylam, 165.; Walls End Acorn Close, 20s. 9d.; Walls End Bymu '2 0 104; Walls End Eden, 2131.
