CORN EXCHANGE. 5 t 8 —P fd ip 1 It 7 8 It i 3 27 28 —p Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat. For all kinds the inquiry ruled very inactive ; nevertheless, scarcely any change took place in prices. The barley trade was rather heavy, on easier terms. In all other produce the transactions were limited. Throughout the Continent wheat has ruled heavy, and previous rates have been with difficulty supported. In the United States more firmness has been apparent both for wheat and flour. _ _ CHESTEU CUP. 1000 to 30 agst Drogheda (taken) 50 to 1 agst Hal o' Kirklees (taken) 50 to 1 agst Polestar (taken) 50 to 1 agst Longrange (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Queenstown (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Harraton (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Eclipse (taken) 1000 to 10 agst Gorsehill (taken) TWO THOUSAND. 6to 1 agst Ralpho (taken) DERE,. 20 to 1 agst Cavendish (taken) 20 to 1 agst Musjid (taken) 25 to 1 agst Merryman (taken) 30 to 1 agst Rainbow (taken) 33 to 1 agst Balnamoon (taken) 33 to 1 agst Viking (taken) 50 to 1 agst Reynard (taken) 60 to 1 agst Nimrod 1000 to 15 agst Enfield (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Lord of the Manor (offered) 7i 71 31 3 1 I 244 24 The arrivals of English produce into the Port of London last week were moderate.

However, compared with Monday last, no change took place in the quotations. The general condition of the samples was tolerably good. There was a large supply of foreign wheat on offer. Fine dry samples were held at full quotations, but the demand for them was inactive. Low and damp parcels ruled heavy, at next to nominal currencies. 71 8i 9} 9 2:1 231 - 2, 5 6 1 , • 9 24! NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing. We were fairly supplied with barley, and all kinds were very dull. Prices had a drooping tendency. Malt was very dull, and is to 2s per qr. cheaper. The show of oats was tolerably good, and the oat trade ruled heavy, at the late decline in value. Beans and peas were heavy, but not cheaper. In flour only a moderate business was transacted, at last week's prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

THE MAYOR, &C., OF LIVERPOOL:- The Lord Chancellor—affirming the decision of Vice- Chancellor Sir John Stuart—was of opinion that the clause in the contract--to submit and refer all matters in difference as to the value of plant or work to be taken by the Corpo ration to the engineer of the works as arbiter—was a good and valid agreement, and his decision was binding on both parties ; and that the plaintiff was excluded from applying to a court, of equity in law as a separate tribunal to adjudi cate upon his claims. His lordship dismissed the appeal with costs. The effect of this decision will be to entitle the Corpora tion of Liverpool to take plant and work performed at the engineer's valuation. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) MAYNARD V. WRIGHT. This was a question on the construction of the will of the late Charles Henry Maynard. After directing payment of all his debts he gave certain bequests and legacies to hisa ifs, to be paid out of his personal estate. He directed his executors to invest his money in stock, and divide the dividends between his wife and children : after his wife's death, to be divided among his three sons and three daughters, or their children, or such of them as shall leave issue, the survivor to take the share of the predecessor and the children to take the share of their parents. The testator made a distinction between his children and the issue of the children who were ultimately to succeed. The respondent contended that the ultimate destination to the issue of the grandchildren or great grand children of the testator 'could not be distinctly ascertained, and the will was void from uncertainty. His Hononr considered, on the authority of decisions in similar cases, that-where classes were referred to in the will the destination is clearly good. He made a declaration in support of the *ill. Costs to be paid' out of the estate. EVANS V. ANGELL. The testator by his will bequeathed all his lands, copy hold, leasehold, freehold, and messuages in Crous, in the county of Surrey, with their " pertinents ;" arid the ques tion raised was whether the word " pertinents" included other lands belonging to the testator in the adjoining parish of Lissford and other parishes. _ . His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that the lands in Lissford and other parishes belonging to the testator did not pass and were not included under the word "pertinent■" in the testator's will. His Honour declared that the demise of the lands in question must be confined to the testator's lands in the parish of Crous e and did not extend to his lands in other parishes. HOMCEOPATHY AT A DISCOUNT.-.CANTON V. HUSTLER. Plaintiff is a lithographic printer, and defendant is the proprietor of Bradley's Food for Poultry. The action was brought to recover £2O for 100 show cards. Plaintiff said he had the order from a traveller, nained Cooper, who received it from a Mr. Kimber at defendant's office. Mr. Beard, for defendant, said that his client was not liable. Kimber had given the order. The goods might have been delivered, but in the absence of Cooper and Kimber it was impossible to say under what circumstances the order was given. His Honour—What is the matter with Cooper ? Mr. Beard—He writes from Peckham and says he had been confined to his bed, and as there is no homoeopathic doctor at Peahani, he has been doctoring himself. (Laughter.) His Hoziouk thought as soon as the fact was known Peckham would be inundated. Hustler promised to pay £lO. Mr. Beard—Defendant denies that, and, besides, if your Honour wishes to do justice to iheso parties, you will ad journ the case for Cooper's evidence.. His Honour—We ought to have Cooper, and you may have an adjournment. , Lard Railways. O Antwerp & Rotterdam 0 Ardennes O Balt.&S.Fran.,Lim.7p.c 5 Belgian East.

The attendance of buyers was rather limited, and all breeds of beasts moved - off heavily, at a decline in the quotations realised on this day se'nnight of about 44 per 81bs—the ex treme value of the best Scots being 4s 10d per 81bs. About 1,400 beasts came to. hand from Lincolnshire and the midland counties, 300 from Norfolk, 700 from other parts Of England, 70 from Scotland, and 300 from Ireland. There was a large supply of sheep in the market for the time of year, and their condition and quality were good. For all breeds wo experienced a slow sale, and prices had a drooping tendency. The best old Downs realised 6s per 81lis. Prime small calves moved off slowly, on former terms, but inferior descriptions of veal were very dull, at Thurs• day's decline in the quotations.

The imports have amounted to 250 tons from Dunkirk, 371 from Rouen, 213 from Calais, 74 from Ternenzen, 40 from Hambroi, and 284 from Antwerp.

There is very little inquiry for either foreign or colonial wool, nevertheless prices of all kinds are well supported. Owing to the high rates demanded by holde rs, En g lish wool is very dull.

This was an action to recover a doctor's bill, which, upon being handed up, his Honour said, " was a heavy one indeed?' Defendant—lt was a great deal more than that, only we had Mr. Lawrence down and he taxed off nearly half. His Honour—lt's very fine running up a heavy doctor's bill, and then getting one of the first surgeons in Europe to tax it. That costs something. Ultimately, an order was made at 103. per week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAI MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RAYitra-,;17 AT MESSRS. HOOPER'S COACH FACTORY. — Horace Gallop, of Townsend-cottages, St. John's-wood, a coach. c:‘rver, formerly hi the'employ of Messrs. Hooper, the well known coach makers, Of Little Windmill-street, was charged with stealing a bag of horse hair and a plan titx or workmen's tools. Vrom the evidence of J►►lui Pad:house Lake, foreman of the factory, it appeared that his attention was called by a persmt who heard the door of the factory shut at an unusual hour. On approaChiug the factory he saw the prisoner and a person in conversation, and as soon as the former saw him 'approach he started, otf. On examining the door of the factory he found that it had been forced app►- rently from the r iuside, and as he had fastened up the factory when he left he had no doubt the prisoner must have been concealed therein at the time. The horse hair produced had been taken from a carriage cushion, and on examining the factory he found a quantity of tools belong ing to the workmen missing. Jay, the detective officer, who had charge of the case, said he found the bag of horse hair at the prisoner's lodg ings, Townsend-cottages, St. John's-wood, but at first he could not tell the extent of the robbery. .... . Thomas Reed, a workman employed at the factory, and liv ing next door to the factory, deposed to seeing the prisoner' outside the factory at the time in question with some of the tools in his possession. On saying to the prisoner, " That the mystery was found out, that they had lost a quantity of tools, and that different persons had been accused and some discharged," the prisoner said, " I'm done," and asked hith to let him. take them back, and on his sending for the fore- man he ran away. A workman, named Bolt, 'having identified some of the tools as his property, and Jay having detailed the circum stances of the prisoner's apprehension, the prisoner was remanded. According to the last accounts from China the impression seemed to be that a further movement in the rate of exchange adverse to England was to be expected, but that it would be checked by the first few arrivals of specie from this side. It is reported that the Royal Commissioners for 1861 are about to plant their three great roads, viz., Exhi bition-road, Cornwall-road, and Prince Alberee-road, with lime trees. Mr. Graves, of Pall-mall, the print publisher, is about to erect a monument over 'the grave of Sir Robert Strange, the great engraver, in the church of St. Paul, Covent -garden.

THE- PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. LIVERVOOL, : SUNDAY. The Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Shannon, arrived in the Mersey a little before eight this morning, having sailed from New York on - the Bth inst. She brings 66 passengers and 187,000 dols. in specie. The Africa was off Point Lynas at half-past ten last night, but waited outside for water. Congress met on the Gth inst., and, having been duly organised, the President's Message was handed in as follows THE MESSAGE. " Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives. " When we compare the condition of the coun try at the present day with what it was one year ago at the meeting of Congress, NO have much rea son for-gratitude to that Almighty Providence which has never failed to interpose for our relief at the most critical period of our history. One year ago, the sectional strife between the North and the South, on the dangerous subject of slavery, had again become so intense as to threaten the peace and perpetuity of the confederacy. The applica- tion for the admission of Kansas as a state into the Union fostered this unhappy agitation, and brought the whole subject once more before Congress. It was the desire of every patriot that such measures of legislation might be adopted as would remove the excitement from the states, and confine it to the territory , where it legitimately belonged. Much has been done, I am happy to say, towards the accomplishment of this object during the last session of Congress. THE KANSAS QUESTION. " The Supreme Court of the United States had previously decided that all American citizens have an equal right to take into the territories whatever is held as property under the laws of any of the states, and to hold such property there under the guardianship of the federal constitution, so long as the territorial condition shall remain. " This is now a well-established position, and the proceedings of the last session were alone wanting to give it practical effect. The principle has been recognised, in some form or other, by an almost unanimous vote of both houses of Congress, that a territory has a right to come into the Union either as a free or a slave state, according to the will of a majority of its people. The just equality of all the states has thus been vindicated, and a fruitful source of dangerous dissension among them has been removed. " Whilst such has been the beneficial tendency of your legislative proceedings outside of Kansas, their influence has been nowhere so happy as within that territory itself. Left to manage and control its,,oyn affairs in its own way, without the pressure of external influence, the revolutionary Topeka organisation, and all resistance to the territorial government established by Congress, have been finally abandoned. As a natural consequence, that fine territory now appears to be tranquil and pro sperous, and is attracting increasing thousands of immigrants to make it their happy home. " The past unfortunate experience of Kansas has enforced the lesson so often already taught, that resistance to lawful authority, under our form of government, cannot fail in the end to prove disas trous to its authors. Had the people of the terri tory yielded obedience to the laws enacted by their legislature it wo*ld at the present moment have contained a large additional population of indus trious 'and enterpising citizens, who have been deterred from entering its borders by the existence of civil strife and organised rebellion. " It was the resistance to rightful authority, and the persevering attempts to establish a revolu tionary government under the Topeka constitution, which caused the people of Kansas to commit the grave error of refusing to vote for delegates to the convention to frame a constitution under a law not denied to be fair and just in its provisions. This refusal to vote has been the prolific source of all the evils which have followed. In their hostility to the territorial government they disregarded the prin ciple, absolutely essential to the working of our form of government, that a majority of those who voter--not the majority' who remain at home, from whatever cause—must decide the result of an elec tion. For this reason, seeking to take advantage of their own error, they denied the authority of the convention thus elected to frame a constitution. ! ," The convention, notwithstanding, proceeded to adopt a constitution unexceptionable in its general features, and providing for the submission of the slavery question to a vote of the people, which, in my opinion,they were bound to do milder the Kansas and Nebraska Act. This was the all-important question which had alone convulsed the territory, and yet the opponents of the lawful government, per sisting in their first error, refrained from exercising their right to vtoe, and preferred that slavery should continue rather than surrender their revolu tionary Topeka organisation. " A wiser and better spirit seemed to prevail before the first Monday of January last, when an election was held under the constitution. A ma jority of the people then voted for a governor and other state officers, for a member of. Congress and members of the state legislature. This election was warmly contested by the two political parties in Kansas, and a greater vote was polled than at any previous election. A large majority of the mem bers of the legislature elect belonged to that party which had previously refused to vote. The anti slavery party were thus placed in the ascendant, and the political power of the state was in their oWn hands. Had Congress admitted Kansas into the Union under the Lecompton constitution, the legisLiaze might, at its very first have submitted the question to a vote of the people, whether they would or would not have a conven tion to amend their constitution, either on the slavery or any other question, and have adopted all necessary means for giving speedy effect to the will of the majority. Thus the Kansas question would have been immediately and finally settled. " Under these circumstances I submit to Congress the constitution thus framed, with all the officers already elected necessary to put the state govern ment into operation, accompanied by a strong ie= commendation in favour of the admission of Kansas as a state. In the course of my long public life I have never performed any official act which, in the retrospect, has afforded me more heartfelt satisfac :ion. Its admission could have inflicted no possible injury on any human being, whilst it would, within brief period, have restored peace to Kansas and aarmony to the Union. In that event the slavery question would ere this have been finally settled, according to the legally expressed will of a ma jority of the voters, and popular sovereignty would thus have been vindicated in a constitutional manner. " - With my deep convictions of duty I' could have pursued no other course. It is true that as an in dividual I had expressed an opinion, both before and during the session of the convention, in favour of submitting the remaining clauses of the consti tution, as well as' that concerning slavery, to the people. But acting in an official character, neither myself nor any human, authority had a power to rejudgc the proceedings of the convention, and declare the constitution *hich it had framed to be a nullity. To have done this would have been a violation of the Kansas and Nebraska Act, which left the people of the territory perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the constitution of the United States.' It would equally have violated the great principle of popular sovereignty, the foundation of our institutions, to deprive the people of the power, and if they thought proper to exercise it, of confiding to delegates elected by themselves the trust of framing a constitution without requiring them to subject their constituents to the trouble, expense, and delay of a second election. It would have been in opposition to many precedents in our history, commexciug in the very best age of the republic, of the admission of territories as states into the Union without a vote of the people approv ing the constitution. " It is to be lamented that a question so insigni ficant when viewed in its practical effects on the people of Kansas, whether decided one way or the other, should have kindled such a flame of excite ment throughout the country. This reflection may prove to be a lesson of wisdom and of warning for our future guidance. Practieall7 comidered, - the question is simply whether the people of that territory should first come into the Union and then change any provision in their constitution not agreeable to themselves, or accomplish the very same object by remaining out of the UnioU and framing another constitution according to their will ? In either case the result would be precisely the same. The only difference in point of fact is, that the object would have been much sooner attained, and the pacification of Kansas more speedily effected, had it been admitted as a state during the last session of Congress. "My recommendation, however, for the imme diate admission of Kansas failed to meet the appro- bation of Congress. They deemed it wiser to adopt a different measure for the settlement of the question. For my own part I should have been willing to yield my assent to almost any constitu tional measure to accomplish this object. I there fore cordially acquiesced in what has been called the English Compromise, and approved the ' Act for the admission of the State of Kansas into the Union,' upon the terms therein prescribed. " Under the ordinance which accompanied the Lecompton constitution the people of Kansas had claimed double the quantity of public lands for the support of common schools which had ever been previously granted to any state upon entering the Union ; and also the alternate sections of land for twelve miles on each side of two railroads proposed to be constructed from the northern to the southern boundary, and from the eastern to the western boundary of the state. Congress, deeming these claims unreasonable, provided, by the act of May 4, 1858, to which I have just referred, for the ad mission of the state on an equal footing with the original states, but upon the fundamental condi tion precedent' . that a majority of the people thereof, at an election to be held for that purpose, should, in place of the very large grants of public lands which they had demanded under the ordinance, accept such grants as had been made t• Minnesota and other new states. Under this act, should a majority accept the proposition offered them, it should be deemed and held that the people of Kansas do not desire admission into the Union with said constitution under the conditions set forth in said proposition.' In that event the act authorises the people of the territory to elect delegates to form a constitution and a state govern- ment for themselves, whenever, and not before, it is ascertained by a census, duly and legally taken, that the population of said territory equals or ex ceeds the ratio of representation required for a member of the House of Representatives "of the Congress of the United States.' The delegates thus assembled shall first determine by a vote whether it is the wish of the people of the proposed state to be admitted into the Union at that time, and if so, shall proceed to form a constitution, and take all necessary steps for the establishment of a state government in conformity with the federal consti tution.' After this constitution shall have been formed, Congress, carrying out the principles of popular sovereignty and non-intervention, have left the mode and manner of its approval or ratifi cation by the people of the proposed state' to be 'prescribed by law,' and they 'shall then be ad mitted into the Union as a state under such consti tution, thus fairly and legally made, with or with out slavery, as said constitution may prescribe.' "An election was held throughout Kansas, in pursuance of the provisions of this act, on the 2d day of August last, and it resulted in the rejection, by a large majority, of the proposition submitted to the people by Congress. This being the case they are now authorised to form another constitu tion, preparatory to admission into the Union, but not until their number, as ascertained by a census, shall equal or exceed the ratio required to elect a member to the House of Representatives. " It is not probable, in the present state of the case, that a third constitution can be lawfully framed and presented to Congress by Kansas, be fore its population shall have reached the de signated number. Ner is it to be presumed that, after their sad experience in resisting the territo rial laws, they will attempt do adopt the constitu tion in express violation of the provision of an act of Congress. During the session of 185 G, much of the time of Congress was occupied on the question of admitting Kansas under the Topeka constitution. Again, nearly the whole of the last session was devoted to the question of its admission under the Lecompton constitution. Surely it is not unrea sonable to require the people of Kansas to wott before making a third attempt, until the number of their inhabitants shall amount to 93,420. Daring this brief period, the harmony of the states, as Well as the great business interests of the country, de mand that the .people of the Union shall not for a third time be convulsed by another agitation on the Kansas question. By waiting for a short time, and acting in obedience to law, Kansas will glide into the Union without the slightest impediment. THE TERRITORIES AND NEW STATES. " This excellent provision, which Congress has applied to Kansas, ought to be extended and ren dered applicable to all territories which may here after seek admission into the Union. " Whilst Congress possesses the undoubtedpower of admitting a new state into the Union, however small may be the number of its inhabitants, . yet this power ought not, in my opinion, to be exercised before the population shall amount to the ratio re quired by the act for the admission of Kansas . Had this been previously the rule, the country would have escaped all time evils and misfortunes to which it has been exposed by the Kansas ques tion. " Of course, it would be unjust to give this rule a retrospective application, and 'exclude a state which, acting upon the past practice of thogovern ment, has already formed its constitution, elected its legislature and other officers, and is now ; pre p7red to enter the Union. "The rule ought to be adopted, whether we.con .sider its bearing on the people of the territories or -upon-the people of the existing states. Many of the serious dissensions which have prevailed in Congress and throughout the country would have been avoided, had this rule been established at an earli& period of the government. " Immediately upon the formation of a new ter ritory, people from different states and from foreign countries rush into it, tOr the laudable purpose of improving their condition. Their first duty to themselves is to open and cultivate farms, to con struct roads, to establish schools, to erect places of religious worship, and to devote their energies generally to reclaim the wilderness and to lay the foundations of a flourishing and prosperous com monwealth. It', in this incipient condition, -withh population of a few thousands , they should prema turely enter the Union, they are oppressed by the burden of state taxation, and the means necessary for the improvement of the territory and the ad vancement of their own interests are thus diverted to very different purposes. " The federal government has ever been a liberal parent to the territories, and a generous contributor to the useful enterprises of the early settlers. It has paid the expenses of their governments and legislative assemblies out of the common treasury, and thus relieved them from a heavy charge. Under these circumstances nothing can be better calett; lated to retard their material progress than to divert them from their useful employment by prematurely al exciting angry political contests um . % themselves, for the benefit of aspiring leaders. It is surely no hardship for embryo governors, senators, and,mem hers of Congres s to wait until the number of inha bitants shall equal those of a single congressional district. They surely ought not to be permitted to rush into the Union with a population less than one.. half of several of the large counties in the interior of some of the states. This was the condition of Kansas when it made application to be admitted under the Topeka constOntion. Besides, it re quires some time to render the mass of a popula tion collected in a new territory at all homo geneous, and to unite them on anything like a fixed p w o a l r ie d y t . o i E t, s a t h ab d lis go li v t e l r i t e n t rt i t i l e e m a s i e td v e .l O l - 11 ae N c ‘ o i r il d - lookin giy. for " But justice to the people of the several , tates requires that this rule should to two senators be established by C ong ress. Each state is entitled a nd at least one representative in Congress. Should the people of th e states fail to elect a Vice-Presi dent, the power devolves upon the Senate to select this officer from the two highest candidates on the list. In case of the death of the President, the Vice-President thus elected by the Senate bedomes President of the United States. On all questions of legislation, the senators of the smaller states of the Union have an equal vote with those from the largest. The same may be said in regard to the ~~
