ARRIVAL OF LORD CANNING. Lord Canning, the ex-Governor-General of India, krrived at Dover on Saturday afternoon most unex li!eted'iy. No special packet had been ordered for 1118 lordship's passage by the Government, but from t he large number of distinguished passengers ex prJeted from the continent, Mr. Churchward had iven instructions et Calais for a steamer to be in r eadiness, under the superintendence of Captain 17 nithett ; consequently, on the arrival of Lord C anning his lordship at once embarked in the mail !team-packet Empress, and with Lord and Lady ZYdr.ey, Lord Harris (who had been waiting at 41 nrseilles to rcuive Lord Canning), Sir C. and kfady Mary, and Miss Wood, Mr. Sergeant Alexan &c., made a rapid run to Dover. On arriving 14 the Admiralty Pier Mr. Churchward proceeded on board the packet and welcomed Lord Canning trace more to Eoglend, and his lordship and dis tinguished party proceeded to the Lord Warden Intel, to have some refreshment prior to their de- Parture for London. At the hotel Mr. Birmingham, the Mayor of Dover, was introduced to Lord Can -11 ing by Capt. Smithett, when the chief magistrate 41formed his lordship that a complinientary address had been prep -Jed by the corporation to be pre sented to his lordship on his reaching the shores of England ; but hi:: unexpected arrival that afternoon find the short interval of time his lordship would remain at Dover, obliged him to represent the cor- Pnration on the occasion. The mayor then expressed the unanimous cot gratulations of the town and port of Dover on his lordship's successful career as Go- Ve rnor-General, and the glorious results of that 13 ° 1 ieY that had established on a firmer basis than e ver th e British rule in India. Ilia lordship warmly thanked the Mayor for the eultpliment paid to him.

In Saturday's local markets the supplies of English wheat were very limited ; nevertheless both red and white qualities moved off slowly, at barely previous quotations. There was a fair consumptive demand for most descrip• tions of spring corn, at full currencies; but the demand for flour was in a sluggish state. A further decline of about is per quarter has taken place in the value if wheat in most of the French markets. Flour, too, has somewhat declined in price. In America the quotations generally continue to give way. Very limited supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. From abroad the imports were -12,068 qrs of wheat, 2,783 barley, 4,100 oats, 3,016 beans, 2,000 tares, 18,261 linseed, 4,606 rapeseed, 490 maize, 15 seeds, 1,836 sacks and 16,804 barrels of flour: Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat, though by no means extensive, showed a decided increase when compared with Monday last, and the samples almost generally came to hand in fair condition. Owing to the prevailing favourable weather, as well as to the satisfac tory accounts which had been received respecting the wheat plant, sales progressed slowly in bo!h red and white quali ties, and, in some instances, a slight reduction in the cur rencies realised on Monday last was acceded to. The show of samples of foreign wheat was seasonably extensive, and the trade generally ruled inactive, yet no quotable change took place in prices compared with this day se'nnight. For floating cargoes of grain there was a fair demand, and the currencies on the whole ruled firm. There was a somewhat increased supply of malting barley on offer, yet the inquiry continued active, at extreme rates. Grinding and distilling sorts, however, met a slow market, on former terms. Good and fine malt was firm as to price. Inferior parcels commanded very little attention. Oats, the supply of which was very moderate, moved off steadily, at full quotations. We were very moderately supplied with beans, for which the trade ruled firm, at quite previous rates. Peas were quite as dear as on Monday last, the supply on offer being small, and the market for them firm. Barrel flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates. Town and country-made qualities, however, sold slowly. The former fell 4s, or to 51s per 280 lbs. CURRENCY PER IMPERJAL MEASURE.

The supply of foreign beasts here, to-day, was liraited— of sheep and calves seasonably good. The general condi- tion of the foreign arrivals still continues very middling, when compared with last year. With home• fed beasts we were well supplied as to num ber, and the quality of all breeds, especially the Scots, short-horns, and crosses, was very prime. The attendance of country buyers being small, the beef trade was in a most inactive state, at quite last Monday's decline in the quota tions. The extreme value of the best Scots and crosses was 4s 2d, and many really fine beasts changed hands as low as from 3s 8d to 3s 10d per 811 - . s. A total clearance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,300 Scots, crcsses, and short-horns; from other parts of England 850 various breeds ; from Scotland 500 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 50 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was somewhat extensive, and nearly all breeds appeared in good saleable condition. The met ton trade was heft\ y, at a further decline in prices of 2d per 81bs. Prime Downs and half-breeds out of the wool sold at 48 6d, in some instances, at 48 8d per Blbs. The top value of Downs, in the wool, was 5s 6d per Blbs. We may ob serve, however, that very few were offering. Lambs were in full average supply, and steady request, at Thursday's currency—viz., Os 4d to 7s Bcl per 81bs. About 650 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. Prime calves sold steadily at full quotations, but inferior veal was a dull inquiry, at late rates. There was only a limited demsnd for pigs, at late quo tations. Much inconvenience has been experienced to-day owing to notice having been issued by the commissioners of police forbidding the removal of stock from the market between the hours of 10 and 7 o'clock.

At Exeter Hall this morning the sale between 10 and half past 12 exceeded £BOO. The advantages of the entrance from the Horticultural Gardens being now appreciated, a large proportion of the sales are for the five guinea tickets. It is now finally settled that the ceremonial of the opening will coTmence at one o'clock, and not at two, as before announced. THE CONDEMNED SCOTCH MURDERESS.—A COM munication has been received at Dumfries from the Home office, stating that after the most careful consideration, and communicating with the judge who presided at the trial, Sir G. Grey can see no ground for recommending that the capital sentence in this case should be commuted. The pri soner will therefore be executed at Dumfries to-morrow (Tuesday). POLICE-THIS DAY. SUCIDE IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.—On Saturday Mr. Humphreys held an inquest at the George the Fourth, Green-street, Bethnal-green, on John Frederick Smith, aged 60. The deceased had been an inmate of the lunatic ward of St. George's Workhouse, having suffered from el‘lirium tremens, brought on by excessive drinking. He had frequently threatened to destroy himself, and his body was found in the Regent's Canal. Verdict—" That de ceased drowned himself wh le in an unsound state of mind." MARLBOROUGH 'STREET. THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL. - Vice-Admiral Sir Stephen Lushington, K.C.8., who commanded the Naval Brigade in tho Crimea, is, we aro informed, likely to succeed the late Rear Admiral Sir W. F. Carroll as Lieutenant-Governor of Greenwich Hospital, and should this event take place, there will be ano ther vacancy on the flag list, which will promote to be an active Rear• Admiral Captain George Goldsmith, C. 8., the Hon. Keith Stewart, C. 8., and Captain Lydiard not having served sufficient time to entitle them to such an advance ment. Captain Charles Frederick, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, will then be the senior captain for removal to the effective list. A captain's goon-service pension will also be at the service of the Duke of Somerset.—Army and Navy Gazitte. " The Japanese Ambassadors," says the Sleds, " will not leave for London until Wednesday next. A French vessel will be placed at their disposal at Calais, to convey them to Dover. An attache of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to accompany the Legation until it shall have been confided to the care of the English authorities. The embassy will only remain for 12 days in England, and then proceed to Holland, where they are to remain until the end of May. They will afterwards F pen dlO days in Berlin, and about the same at St. Petersburg. Portugal will only receive the ambassadors after they have again been to Paris, where they propose to remain another fort night. A French vessel will afterwards convey the whole of the Legation to Japan, via Suez. IMPORTANT EXTENSION OF COPYRIGHT IN ORNA MENTAL DESIONS.—It is pretty generally known (says the Birmingham Post) that the Chambers of Commerce of Birmingham and Sheffield have been en gaged for some time in endeavouring to effect an extension of copyright in ornamental designs. It will be seen by the following communication, addressed to the Birmingham Chamber, that the effect had been completely successful, a result that shows in a marked manner the practical value of such commercial associations :—" Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, April 9. Gentlemen, I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your me morial, praying for an extension of the terms of copyright for ornamental designs applied to works in metal, and sup porting your application by statements of manufacturers personally engaged in the several departments in that branch of trade. From the evidence thus furnished, it ap pears that the time occupied in preliminary arrangements, and the preparations of designs previous to the manufactured article being presented in the market varies from 6 to 24 months. The majority of those by whom these statements are furnished asked that a period equivalent to the time thus consumed may le added to the existing term of protec tion, thus extending the whole to five years. My lords direct me to inform you that, considering a case to have been shown for the expediency of this extension, instructions have been given to the officer at the head of the Registry of Designs to take the necessary steps for extending the copy. rights of all articles in metal included in class 1, from three years, as at present, to five years for the future.---T am, gen tlemen, your obedient servant, J. EMERSON TENNENT.— To the Council of the Chamber of Commerce of Birming ham and the Midland District." FATHER DALY'S APOLOGY.—The Galway Vin dicator states that the following is an accurate copy of Father's Daly's apology to Bishop WEvilly :—" I beg leave to express my sincere regret in not having obeyed th• mandate of my bishop, issued to me on the 26th December last, which was preceded by several letters of entreaty and remonstrance. I have also to express my sincere regret for having violated, by the public celebration of mass, and by hearing confession, the suspension inflicted on me by my bishop. I regret having addressed the people on Sunday, January 6, in the chapel of Bushy-park, and, subsequently, in this parish church of St. Nicholas, en the subject of the suspension. I regret the excite ment created in the 11011e0 of God, and in the pub lic streets, and, as a minister of religion, I conjure those who behaved irreverently in presence of the blessed Sacra ment, to make reparation for the insults offered to our blessed Lord in the Sacrament of his Love. I desire to express my entire disapprobation of the use of language de rogatory to the office and authority of my bishop, and of any line of conduct, or form of expression, on the part of any person whomsover, calculated to coerce or overawe those whom alone the Holy Ghost has appointed to govern the Church of God, in the free exercise of that authority, confided to them by the exercise of St. Peter, the supreme visible head of God's Church, the Vicar of Christ upon earth. Ido hereby request of my bishop, in virtue of the powers specially delegated to him by the Apostolic See, to absolve me from the suspension he inflicted on me, and the irregularities I incurred by its violation." A letter from Leipzin speaks in high praise of the remarkable pianoforte playing of Mr. Dannreuther, a young American, pupil at the Conservatory there. __ A new opera, by Herr Bott, "Anises, the Young Girl of Corinth," has been produced at the Royal Opera Donis at Berlin. This cause, which was orignally tried at Guildhall, was brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum effected as an insurance on a ship called the Harbinger. The vessel in question became disabled and so much damaged during a voyage that she was compelled to put into Algoa Bay. The plaintiff claimed for a total loss, and the company, repre- sented by the defendant, contended it was only a partial loss. At the trial the decision was in favour of the plain tiff. Mr. Botill was about to move for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground that the verdict was against evi dence, when The Lord Chief Ju.tice said he was compelled to absent himself when the case was set down for last week. On that occasion he had informed his learned brothers, that there ought be a new rule, and that being so, he thought it would save time now if the rule was granted without the facts of the case, which were very lengthy, being entered into. Rule granted accordingly. THE CORPORATION OF GREAT YARMOUTH V. GROOM. Their lordships were occupied the whole of the early part of the day in hearing the arguments in this case, which were without the slightest public interest. The principal point appeared to be the tolls to be levied from the inhabi tants of the town of Ipswich for a stall in the market place. The Court gave its decision in favour of the plaintiffs. This was an action brought to recover compensation for injuries received. Ihe defendant contended that the plain tiff himself conduced towards the accident. The defendant was a builder, and a quantity of scaffolding fell from a building which was going on under his direction, and the injury complained of was received by the plaintiff. The defendant said that the plaintiff loosened the mate rials by jumping from one part of the scaffolding to the other. SHIPPING- I THIS DAY. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant, THE "LONDINIAD" AND ITS POET.-CURIOUS ♦CTION•- LIDSTONE V. WALLIS. This was an action to recoTer for 100 copies of a work called the " Londiniad." Plaintiff put in the order signed by defendant, in which defendant agreed to take 100 copies of the work with a cer tain poem, and businet s card inserted. Defendant said he had a little history to relate to the court, which would much surprise all present. A gentle man called upon defendant, who is the proprietor of a ledger index lately exhibited by the Society of Arts, and with some flow of language praised the valuable invention to the skies. "I have," said the mysterious visitor, "written a poem upon it—would you like to hear it P" Defendant, of course, much pleased, listened to the strain, and finally the visit ended by an order for 100 copies of the " Londiniad," with poem recited by the visitor, and defendant's busi ness card inserted. In course of time the " Londiniad " arrived, but in only seventy-six copies was the poem, it being excluded . in the remaining 24. When defendant read through the book he found to his amazement that he was not the only inventor of ledger indices wor, by of a poem, for the " Londiniad's" poet had called upon his muse to assist him on behalf of other gentle men whose works were much lauded. Defendant, with some gusto and considerable dramatic accent, read some of the poetry, which provoked great laughter in court, and his Honour not being satisfied that the whole 100 copies delivered, contained the poem found for the defendant, with costs. PROFESSIONAL MEN AND REPERENTES—DANE V. RIDDLEU. His Honour said he had asked a dentist to take a reference in this case, which was about artificial teeth, and the dentist had refused. Mr. Buchanan had no objection to omit. His Honour— I think counsel could take the case as well ae a dentist. Mr. Buchanan—Oh, quite. His Honour—Mr. Gibbons will take it. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Langham then conferred, and agreed that the case should be referred to Mr. Gibbons. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—FREQUENT NIGHT ROBBERIES.—Wm. Angel, a tall, rough-looking fellow, was charged with the following highway robbery. Henry James Wessen, a porter at Mr. Burton's, iron monger, of Oxford-street, said, that at five minutes past 12 on Saturday night, the prisoner came up to him at the corner of Goodge-street and asked him an address. He im m3diately belt the prisoner's hand at his watch, and the pri soner started off, having taken the watch and leaving the guard dangling. He immediately pursued the prisoner with the cry of "Si op thief," and while he did so be was twice bonnetted by men who he bad irdoubt were tae prisoner's friends, in Pitt street. He afterwards gave the prisoner in charge in John-street. The watch produced was his pro perty. John Strode, a painter, of 4, Pitt-street, proved hearing a cry of " Stop thief," and pursuing the prisoner and stop ping him. James Craske, 160 E, said he was informed by a little boy that a man had been stopped in John-street. On going up the prosecutor gave the prisoner in charge. He afterwards received the watch from ihe landlord of No. 87, John-street, the prisoner in his flight having thrown it down the area. The prisoner was remanded by Mr. Knox for a week. FISHING IN THE SERPENTINE.—ASSAULT ON A PARR KEEPER.—Henry Ovens was charged with assaulting John Browning, Hyde-park constable No. 21. Browning said he stopped the prisoner yesterday morning at eleven, and told him, he having children with him, that ho must not fish in the Serpentine. Prisoner said, " What, do you call this fishing ?" He (witness) took the can away from one of the children, and then the prisoner made an attack on him and bit his thumb, and behaved in an ex cited manner, and called out to the bystanders to assist him. Defendant—l was wheeling a child along at the time in a perambulator, when the park-keeper came up and said I hed been fishing. The park-keeper seized a can from the child to throw it in the water, and I tried to prevent him. If I had known I was not allowed to fish, I would have given up the fish at once. Mr. Knox said when a park-keeper came up to do his duty he must not be assaulted. It was absurd to talk of its being an once for little children to catch the fish ; but he (defendant) had lost his temper, and acted wrongly. His only fear, when he (the magistrate) went to see for himself, wee that the little children might fall in. They did not seem to be in anybody's way. lie had on a former occasion told the park-keeper to take the sticks and bottles away, but not to bring the children to the oourt in custody. The defendant was fined ss. THAMES, THIS DAY. DARING ROBBERY ON BOARD AN OUTWARD BOUND SHIP IN THE LONDON DOCKS,—A tall, well-dressed man, named John Forbes, who was at once identified as a well known thief, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with breaking into a lady's cabin and the captain's cabin of the ship Alminton, in the Shadwell basin of the London Dock. A special application was made to Mr. Woolrych at 11 o'clock to hear this case first, to which he consented, but it was 12 o'clock before all the applicants for summonses, war rants, and advice were heard, and the prisoner was then arraigned in the felons' dock. The Alminton, a large barque, is bound to Adelaide, and is to sail with this afternoon's tide with a valuable cargo and numerous passengers. On Saturday afternoon Mr. G. Amies, clerk to Messrs. Button and Bevan, the charterers of the ship, noticed the prisoner on board for three hours, and asked him what business he had there, to which he replied, that he was a friend of the steward, and was on a visit to him. At a later hour in the evening, a lady passen ger informed Mr. Amies that a man was secreted in the ad joining cabin, and she was afraid he had been breaking open packages and committing a robbery. Mr. Amies im mediately seized the prisoner, and asked him how he dared to intrude in the cabin. He hesitated for some time, and then said he had been sick, and went into the cabin to get a little rest. The prisoner was immediately delivered into the custody of a dock constable, named Spence, who searched him, and found upon him three muslin handker chiefs, with the captain's name, John Hall, in marking ink upon them. He said he had taken them out of a cabin on board. The ship was immediately overhauled, and it :was discovered that the captain's cabin and lady pas senger's cabin were separated from each other by a water closet, had been broken into. Two large trunks, a port manteau, and a caddy, in the ladies cabin had been forced open with great violence, and the contents, consisting of linen, wearing apparel, fancy articles, and other goods, were strewed about the cabin. A leather hat-box, which Captain Hall deposited in the water-closet on Saturday had also been opened, and the three handkerchiefs, with his name upon them, were missing. They were now identified by Captain Hall. The only article missing from the ladies cabin was the black lace veil taken from the prisoner. The thief would, no doubt, have carried off a large booty if he had not been so opportunely discovered by Mr. Amies. Several house-breaking imple ments were found in the cabins. They had been used in breaking open the portmanteaus, hat box, trunk, and caddy. Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial, and said as Captain Hall was compelled to sail with his ship directly he would dispense with his attendance at the sessions. The handkerchiefs were marked with his name and would be identified by others. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. SPORTING-THIS DAY. TATTERSALL'S, THIS EVENIWG.

PURCHASE OF COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY. Sir DE L. EVANS gave notice that he should move a resolution to the effect that it would be desirable to abolish the system of the purchase of commissions in the army. FORTIFIPATIONS IN PLYMOUTH SOUND. Mr. BENTINCK asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was true that an artificial island was being con structed in Plymouth Sound, by sinking stones, for building on it a fort similar to those which are under con struction at Sr,ithead. Sir G. LEWIS said that it was intended to construct a fort behind the breakwater at Plymouth, and that the plan adopted was in accordance with the recommendations of the Defence Committee. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION AND THE MEETING OF THE HOUSE. In reply to Mr. SOTHERN ESTCOURT, and subsequently to Major EDWARDS, . Sir G. GREY said that it was proposed by the Govern.- ment that the house should meet on Thursday next, the day of the opening of the Exhibition. If the Exhibition were opened at 1 o'clock, the house could assemble at 5 o'clock, but the course which would be ultimately adopted would be stated on Wednesday next. As regarded the committees, he did not think that they would meet on Thursday, considering that hon. members would feel a desire to be present at the open ing of the Exhibition.

(Laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that under the circumstances he would postpone the second reading of the bill. MILITARY ORGANISATION. _ _ On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Gen. PEEL asked the Secretary of State for War if any decision had been arrived at in regard to the "reserved fund," to which the attention of Parliament is especially called in the report of the committee on military organisa tion. The hon. and gallant member urged some objections to the creat on of the fund on constitutional grounds, but at the same time he did not go to the extent of wishing for an abolition of the system of purchase of commissions in the army. lie wished to draw the attention of the house to the subject, but would not make any motion in reference to it. Sir G. LEWIS said that no doubt a great constitutional objection might be raised to the existence of a fund not voted by Parliament, and at the disposal of the War-office, arising out of the sale of commissions. He believed however, that no one objected to the mode of its applica— tion. A full return in reference to the subject had been laid on the table last year, and another would be ready f or presentation to the house, as he believed, on Thursday neat. He believed that on investigation it would be found that this fund was generally advantageous to the public service, and it was established for the purpose of removing restrictions in the purchase of commissions in the army. Jae assured the hon. and gallant member (General Peel) that his observations should receive the attentive consideration of the Government. rin Sir DE LACY EVANS thanked th e h on. and ga ll an t member this subject forward, expressed e r in the opinions which he expressed. and em (General his P e el) for bringing concurrence Lord 110THAM considered that the explanation of the Secretary of War was unsatisfactory, and condemned the reticency displayed by War Ministers generally in affording information as to the application of this fund. The subject then dropped. OFFICER • OF LOCAL ARMIES IN INDIA. Colonel SYKES called the attention of the house to certain hardships connected with the position of officers Of the local armies of: India who were liable to be re moved, against their consent, from the regiments to which they belong, and to be sent to any station. for the performance of general duty. He wished to be in formed whether any comp ensat ion would be granted to officers so taken from their re g i ments and sent to general duty, for the : and, ent al, troop, or company command allowances of regimental, whether compensation wo uld be given to officers who have subscribed to regi mental retiring funds, in the full confidence of their sub scriptions being returned to them on their own retirement ; and, whether the East India Company's late European Ar tillery and Engineers had become integral portions of the Royal regiments of Artillery and Engineers respectively, with the advantages of seniority, succession, augmenta tion, /cc. Sir C. WOOD said that it was necessary that the Indian army sh - uld be reduced, and expressed substantially h it previous statements on this question. [Luz anulsiq Gi ~a _. ~~
