that he would; be excused from attempting to made a speech.—(Hear.) He had declined coming forward or. any former occasion from the fear that he might possibly be misunderstood. The Learned Speaker thee, after lamenting the slow progress which the temperance cause had made in Pennsylvania, concluded by saying that only personal and individual efforts could effect a real reformation in that or any other country, and there fore he urged all the friends of the temperance move ment to follow a maxim current in America, and suf. ficiently plain to Anglo-Saxon ears, "It they were sure they were right, let them go-a-head."—(Cheers.) Dr. Patton, from New YOrk, Ricbard Allen, Esq., from Dublin and John Andrews, Esq., Scarborough, addressed the meeting in support of the general principle. Dr. BEAUMONT, from Bradford, Yorkshire, then said, the mere circumstance of his being connected with the medical profession might furnish an apology for his ad dressing them. The object which brought them toge ther was one of grandeur and sublimity, for it was their wish to elevate in every way the human being. The great difficulty which the friends of the temperance cause had to encounter was, the prevailing ignorance of the people an to the nature and qualitto of intoxicating liquors. All were not aware that all liquors, whether wine, ale, beer, or spirits, were necessarily unwholesome, and he would rest the fact that they were so, on the cir cumstance that no medical man who had ever exam ined the subject, as he ought to do, had come to a different conclusion.—(Cheers.) So long as alcohol was an in gredient in liquors, so long must these liquors be of necessity unwholesome, and only so soon as medical men on the one hand , and Christian ministers on the other, came forward, would be introduced a per fect system of total abstinence. Mr. HENRY CLAPP, jun., from Massachusetts, hoped that his friends around him - would in future show as much regard for a man in the flames of strung drink as they would do if they saw a house in flames. FREDERICK DoUGLASS,! who was formerly a slave in Virginia, next came forward, and was received with great applause. He said he experienced great pleasure in bearing his testimony to the benefits of teetotalism. He was not a delegate from America, for those who would be anxious to send him there in such capacity were themselves slaves.—(Load cries of " Shame, shame.") He was sorry to say that there were 3,000,000 of his brethren kept down in a state of slavery.—(Shouts of disapprobation.) He loved the Americans, but they had neglected their duties towards their f.llow-creatures, because they had " a skin not coloured like their own." In 1842, when the temperance movement was making such immense progress among the white men, a great number of the black men had the wisdom and the courage (though the white men denied them the credit of possess ing any of these virtues) to declare in favour of the movement. They walked in procession through Phila delphia on the Ist of August, and how were they treated? Why, the Anglo-Saxons met them with shouts of con tempt, and hurled brickbats and other missiles upon them. —(Shame.) He (lit not mention this fact with a view of insulting his American friends here, but he wished that when they went home to America they would exert themselves, while advocating the cause of their white brethren, also to rescue the black man from the pit of slavery into which he was thrown.—(Great cheering.) (Here the chairman whispered something into the speak.er's ear, when a voice from the gallery cried out, "Don't interrupt him—don't dictate to him." This caused the most tremendous cheering, which lasted for several minutes.) The speaker begged to assure his kind friends that the chairman had not in the slightest degree sought to alter any sentiment that he was anxious to give expression to ; he was simply reminded by him that the time to which he was limited in his address had expired. He concluded by cslling upon the minis ters of religion in this country to aid in effecting that progress in the movement which it had through the in strumentality of the American clergy already attained in the New World. The Rev. Mr. KIRK wished to say that Frederick Douglass had made an unintentional misrepresentation. From his observations be was afraid that an impression had been left upon tile public mind that the temperance advocates in Arn , Jrica bad supported slavery.—(Cries of "No, no.") Vaen if such were not the impression pro duced, ho W. nothing more to say. Mr. J. S., BUCKINGHAM, in a brief address, wound up the preeedieg,s of the meeting. Mr. MEREDITH then moved - a vote of thanks to the chairman, which having been duly acknowledged, the meeting separated.

We have thrown out these suggestions ; nit as approving the practice, but since, unfortunately, it must be s,:tttinUed for a brief space, to do away with some few of the objections. It is impossible to go through the entire debate. The admirable speech of Dr. nOWRING could not be curtailed or abridged. It should be deeply studied, and uni versally circulated. We trust that steps will be taken to effect this object, so that every Englishman may be fully informed on the subject in all its fearful details. We shell only say to the Learned Gentle man) persevere in the course you have so well com menced, and you will receive the cordial esteem of all good men—the approbation of your own conscience. Another protectionist hero has just received an ovation. The civic crown has scarcely settled down upon the ears of Lord G. BENTINCK, when another— just as gaudy with the paint of flattery and the tinsel of egotism—is awarded to the Marquis of GRANBY. If banquets are to be given to every individual capable of spouting nonsense with fluency, or of pressing upon the Legislature theories utterly used up and exploded, then must GUNTER enlarge his cuisine, then must TOOLE open an academy for toast masters, then must Sheffield and Covent-garden increase their accumulation of cutlery and vegetables. An epidemic of dinner-parties appears to be raging in various agricultural districts, the contagion is spreading with alarming rapidity, and, unless some corrective be speedily discovered, many of our 1 eading-string representatives are in danger of being carried off by a surfeit. If the protectionists are really desirous of propitiating the favour of their countrymen, they are proceeding upon the very worst system possible. Instead of decreasing the amount of ridicule attached to their previous exertions, they will merely be rendering them selves more thoroughly ludicrous. Although John Bull has a proverbial affection for "the roast tied' of Old England " and other masterpieces of the art of cookery, he still abhors any immoderate grati fication of the appetite ; and least of all is his admi ration aroused by seeing his legislators stuffing them selves like so many turkies, and guzzling each other's health like so many toadies. Sir JOHN FALSTAFF, when taunted by PISTOL with having received threepence halfpenny nut of seven pence, as his share in a petty theft, replies, " Reason, man ! Reason. Shall I endanger my soul gratis ?" And precisely upon this metaphysical principle of compensation we presume the protectionists are acting at the present moment ; they claim the contents of the larder, in recompence for endangering their popularity. In this we conceive they are guided by a marvellous obliquity of judgment; their resolves, like those of CU.RISTOPIIER HARLOW, are " In folly ripe, in reason rotten." 2d. To reduce the export duty on rags from 2 rii-doi lars 80 sous (sf. 25c.) the quintal, to 1 rix-dollar 20 sous (21. 30c.) the quintal. The ordonnance will, it is said, be immediately signed by the KING. The POPE is becoming every day more and more popular. The amnesty has attached to his fortunes the very men who, up to the present time, have been the most formidable enemies of tle Popedom in Italy. A letter from Rome, of the 28th July, pub lished in the Univers, says : " Nothing is spoken of at Rome and throughout all the provinces, but the fine character and noble intentions of the Holy Father. Two months have not yet expired since his accession, and yet what grand actions has he not performed! I cannot refrain from making you acquainted with what is in the mouths of every one in this city. On the occasion of his accession the Pope made a donation to each of the pa rishes of Rome of fifty piastres,' to be drawn for by lot among the poorest of the young girls residing in them. The draw ing was made in public under the direction of the cure, and the first name issuing from the urn was, according to the intentions of his Holiness, to receive the dowry. The cures of Rome are men of integrity, full of zeal and charity; but one alone amongst them has not been irreproachable. For some reason unknown he refused to give the sum to the girl whose name was first drawn, and, by a second drawing, awarded it to another. The father of the former made re monstrances, but the cure rejected his applications under some pretence of which I am ignorant. The Pope, however, is a lover of justice, and accessible to the complaints of the poor. O❑ being informed of what had taken place, he severely reprimanded the cure, and ordered him to give the fifty piastres to the girl properly entitled to it, and a similar sum from his own pocket to the other girl, whose name was drawn in the second drawing. I leave you to judge of the effect of such conduct amongst a poor popu lation ! An important functionary had made to his Holiness a report which had an iniquitous object. The Pope having received better information on the subject trom a Cardinal, he again interrogated the functionary on the business, and received an answer in accordance with the conclusions of his report. His Holiness then looking sternly at him, said: You are the first person that has dared to deceive us—do not again appear in our presence.' A vacancy for a Canon of St. Peter's having occurred, a list of candidates was pre sented to the Pope, each having more or less claims to the situation. Very well,' said his Holiness, ' I have made my choice; but the person whom I have selected is not on this list—it is the Abbe Ponzileone, an intelligent priest, full of Christian zeal and charity, who has devoted his life to good works. Such men are dear to us; we wish to reward them.' It was not enough for a heart so expansive, and so filled with the charity of Jesus Christ, to have delivered political prisoners, his Holiness has also set at liberty a great num ber of persons confined for debt, having devoted a consider able sum from his private purse for that purpose." What, let us inquire, are the claims of such noble men as Lord GEORGE BENTINCK and the Marquis of GRANBY to such lavish honours, such ful some panegyrics, and such vociferous accla mations as are awarded them at these most ec centric demonstrations ? Is a very fifth-rate maiden speech any tolerable reason for such adula tion ? Is a great; facility in the utterance of per sonalities, or a morbid intensity of vituperation an admissible reason for such ostentatious jubilees ? As well might Admiral BYNG have been voted a peerage, instead of being executed, for losing Minorca. As well might General BURGOYNE have received a pension for show ing himself a poltroon; or the Duke of YORK re ceived the thanks of Parliament for the failure of the Walcheren expedition. Besides all this, the real friends of protection to agriculture are unconsciously damaging their own cause by pandering to the vanity of those few advocates of their policy who have evinced any talent whatever. Let them reflect that orators, like plants, can not be forced into premature existence without debilitating their strength and materially lessening their natural qualities. Great statesmen have never been fostered by adulation. FREDERICK the GREAT was treated with contumely by his father, PETER the GREAT with contempt by his sister. HALL, at the dawning of his career as an orator, never heard even the whisperings of flattery. CICERO himself listened to no . encomiums upon his intellectual powers when he was an aspirant and a scholar. We feel the utter most contempt for those who can administer the nar cotic of extravagant praise to a young mind just as it is beginning to display some little glimpses of talent ; and we entertain sentiments of the deepest sympathy and commiseration towards the victims of a practice so miserably pernicious. Five hundred gentlemen of the midland counties assemble together at Waltham, in Leicestershire — with what purpose ? Why, in the language of the Chairman, they assembled together for the purpose of " paying their tribute of thanks to the Marquis of GRANBY for the ability, zeal, and perseverance with which he had fought the cause of protection in the House of Commons!" A few lines after this turgid compliment, we find the expressions, "his noble conduct"—" ability hardly second to any one." Then we are assured that the young Marquis had made the greatest sacrifice a public man can make, and pieces v e i ndustr y of of that he was, moreover, competent to " take the lead in this mighty empire !" All s upportt hes eoi gross he flattery being uttered in th e p re sence of this prodigy of a pe er; every f res h epithet of praise being received with s h ou t s o f .t applause by upwards of .500 persons, including half-a-dozen noblemen, and the whole of this wretched piece of adulation being crowned by the company " rising as one man and giving repeated bursts of cheering !" If that be not sufficient to damage the most splendid intellect and the most admirably constituted mind, then was our great SLIAKSPERE altogether unacquainted with the workings of the human heart. It is all very reasonable, and very natural, and very beautiful, no doubt, to hear the Duke of RUTLAND declaring of his son, the Marquis, "that in every word he has ever uttered—that in every act he has ever done—that the whole course of his life has testified to me most satisfactorily the purity of his mind, the integrity of his purposes, the probity of his prin ciples, and the excellence of his judgment." It is the tribute of an affectionate father, honourable alike to both individuals concerned. But when we perceive the flattery lavished upon a young man like the Marquis of GRANBY by Mr. FLETCHER NORTON and others —when we see the character of a man painted, in his presence, in colours the most exag gerated, with lines the most unnatural, and the paint laid on an inch thick, we regard the whole as a miserable spectacle of voluntary subserviency and human weakness. Those who remember the circumstances attendant upon the passage of Free Trade through Parliament will feel how disproportioned is the monstrous eulogiurn showered upon this precocious politician, the Marquis of GRANBY, to his maiden speech upon that occasion. It is the most misjudged huckstering of words man ever heard of. Surely, if we are to believe his panegyrists, the Most Noble the Marquis of GRANBY is too great a man for the House of Commons! Madrid papers to the Ist of August have been received. The regiment of Don FRANCISCO D'Assis has been ordered to Madrid, so that it would appear that it is determined that he shall have no excuse for absenting himself from Court. General VILLALONGA, the Captain General of Galicia, has published an order from General SANZ, the Minister at War, dated July 11, directing him to repel by force any attempt oh the part of the Spanish refugees to enter the Spanish territory, and to follow them into Portugal, " for it is the will of her MAJESTY," adds the Minister, " that, in that case, those emigrants be followed until they shall have been beaten, without any regard to the limits of that country." This vapouring, if carried out, might be productive of disastrous consequences, but, profiting by the les son taught to FERDINAND VII., just twenty years since, by Mr. CANNING, when the worthy royal petti coat-maker, in a fit of unwonted valour, threatened to invade Portugal in support of the Marquis of CHAVES, General SANZ, it is said, recollecting that " the better part of valour is discretion," followed up this very warlike proclamation by an order to the troops to withdraw altogether from the Portuguese frontier. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. I.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 22i ; and the Debt without Interest, at Q. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The results of 453 elections out of 459 are now known. Of the Deputies returned in these 453 cases, 280 are Ministerialists and 173 Oppositionists, giving a Ministerial majority of 107. Of the 'six returns not received, two are from Corsica, where Marshal SEBASTIANI and M. DE GASPARIN are certain of being returned without opposition, and it is expected that in the other four cases two Ministerialists and two Oppositionists have been returned. This 107 ma jority includes the small band who support Count MOLE and M. DUFAURE, and who might, perhaps, if they saw a chance of ousting M. GUIZOT and replacing 'him by Count MOLE, be inclined to join the Opposition in a factious vote for that purpose. They will, however, now most probably become re gular supporters of the Ministry, seeing they have no chance of attaining power, as the oppo nents of M. GUIZOT, for so large is his personal following in the new Chamber, that he could beat the MOLE and DUFAURE sections, and all the Oppo sition united, by a majority of from 70 to 80 votes— a majority numerically greater, and more compact and united than any Government has obtained since 1830. The Chambers meet on the 17th to elect the Pre. sident and officers. M. SAUZET is the Ministerial candidate for the Presidency, and M. DUPIN and M DUFAURE will, it is said, be started by the Oppositi3n Intelligence has been received from Tiflis of the 20th June, of the complete success of SCHAMYL'S ex. pedition for the destruction of the Russian establish ments in the Caucasus. At the head of 20,000 men he rushed from his mountain fastnesses upon the Cossack settlements in the Kaburdias, took sixteen or twenty of them, and seized all the property and the inhabitants they contained. The booty found was immense, and in order to secure it, SCHAMYL put the greater part of his prisoners to death in order not to be impeded in his fight to the mountains with his plunder. Under the date Vienna, July 26, we find the fol lowing in the German Gazette of Frankfort : " Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg set off last week for Be l. giutn and England. He will return in September, but will not remain here long, for, according to the favourite project of the English Ministry, this Prince is destined to become the husband of Queen Isabella. The father and mother of the Prince will resist this marriage, from the experience ac quired in Portugal. The high position of the Coburgs is a source of grief for the female branches of the family." A letter from Copenhagen, of the 30th ult., states that, by order of the KING, the a dministration of the customs has submitted to him an ordonnance, having for its object, Ist. To reduce by a fifth the tonnage du ties on vessels leaving the Danish states for Norway, Sweden, the ports in the Baltic, Holland, Belgium, England, France, and Spain to Cape Finisterre ; and The heat continued intense. The thermometer was at 98 Fahrenheit.

Mr. OSBORNE complained that he could get no reply to the several questions which he had asked respecting the Irish Bills.

R. REID earnestly hoped the Government would pause before they passed this Bill. In its present shape it was eminently unjust and oppressive, for they were, in fact about to destroy the only advantage which they West India colonies possessed, whilst they were opening up a previous opposition against them. If this Bill were to pass, there ought to be some great facilities given for the introduction of free labour into the colonies. Dir. P. M. STEWART quite assented to all that had been ( said by the Ilon. Member for Dover (Sir J. R. Reid), and he I warned the Ministeni how they built up a monument to them ! selves on the ruins of those noble West India colonies, which ' had always been considered an integral portion of this empire. The easiest part, and only the easiest, of those treasures was passed. The whole principle of fre,e trade ought to be applied to the colonies, or none of it. The CHANCELLOR of this EXCHEQUER said that it was necessary to pass this measure now, and that it was in the contemplation of Government to take the whole of this matter up early next session, when the introduction of free labour would be fully gone into, it,nd every remedy provided. After a few words from Mr. P. BORTHWICK, The Bill was read a third time, with a few .verbal amend ments, and passed, RATEABLE PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be reported. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill w,ts read a third time and passed. EXCLUSIVE •TRADING (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was also read a third time and passed. DUTIES ON RYE, PEAS, AND BEANS. Mr. C. VILLIERS moved the copsideration of the peti tion of Robert L.aule Gillies and George Home, respecting the duties on rye, peas, and beans. They set forth that the Corn Bill assimilated the duty on these articles to that charged on the importation of barley. The consequence was, that great hardship was inflicted on the dealers of those articles, because, when barley was high in price, rye, peas, and beans were invariably dear. From May to August malt was not much in demand, whilst the demand for other articles of grain was great. Now he apprehended that this was a mistake, and that it would be rectified by a Treasury order. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER considered that the late Government intended that the measure should work in the way pointed out by the Hon. Member, and could not consent to abrogate it by a Treasury order. OFFICES OF THE HtJUSE. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER also obtaintd leave to bring in a Bill to amend an Act of the fifty second year of his late Majesty King George the Third, relating to the offices of the House of Commons. PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND). The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER also obtained leave to introduce a Bill to extend and consolidate the powers hitherto exercised by the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland, and to appoint additional Commis sioners.

The debate in the House of Commons last night, when Lord Jose's RUSSELL brought forward the. new ' regulations adopted by the Commander-in-Chief with respect to corporal punishment hs the army, cannot fail to awaken the most lively interest in every per son possessing the feelings of common humanity. We deeply lament that the principle, modified as it is by the new regulations attached thereto, is still to be retained and sanctioned in the ser vice. Much that is valuable, however, has been attained, and we cannot doubt that the result of a very few such discussions as that of last night must lead to the total and entire abolition of the hor rible system. We can respect and allow for the feelings of the Prime Minister, in not making the change an immediate one, in opposition to the wishes of the gallant veteran at the head of the army ; and we can trace in his speech evidences of .his desire and intention that the improvement shall not be final, but that it shall gradually lead to the great end, and that in the meanwhile the effect of other means and other punishments for the preservation of military dicipline should be fully tested, so that when they have been found to be efficacious, and amply sufficient for the purpose, the degrading and brutalising lash may be finally and for ever banished. We must still, however, declare ourselves the uncom promising enemy of the practice. Had we enter tained any doubt on the subject, it would have been entirely removed by the able and convincing argu ments of the friends of the British soldier, who have entitled themselves to the , highest honour for the course adopted by them on this occasion. They will not relax in their exertions. The seed has been duly sown, and in the fulness of time will spring up to maturity, and produce the fruit so earnestly desired by the British people. A general election must speedily take place, and the electors will know how to do their duty. No great change has ever been effected without much discus sion and energetic exertions on the part of its sup porters, and none of equal magnitude has ever made so great, so astounding a progress in so brief a period. Dangers obvious to the meanest capacity will be daily passed unnoticed, without any step being taken for their prevention, until at length some fatal, some heartrending acci dent, will call the public attention thereto, and all will be astonished at the negligence, the carelessness, which so long permitted the existence of the nuisance. It is the last drop of water that will cause the overflow of the measure, the addition of a trifling weight that will break the back of the already over-burdened animal ; so it was the melan choly end of poor WHITE, and the full and searching investigation into its causes that took place, that fully awakened the attention of the public to the abominations that were daily taking place, and excited their warmest indig nation, their fixed and earnest resolution that such things should no longer be sanctioned. The following are the heads of the proposed plan. By the present Articles of War, no offender convicted before a general court-martial is liable to be sentenced to any corporal punish ment exceeding 200 lashes. If convicted by a district, or garrison court-martial, it cannot exceed 150 lashes, and by a regimental court martial, 100 lashes. Under the new rule no court martial whatever, whether general, district, garrison, er regimental, shall order the infliction of more than 50 lashes. Special directions have also been given that every precaution shall be taken in order to ascer tain the state of health of any soldier who shall be sentenced to corporal punishment, for the purpose of knowing whether it is such as to enable, him to bear the punishment ordered ; and other circumstances are to be attended to, such as extreme heat or severity of the weather, or any other circumstance whatever which might make the infliction of the flogging dangerous to the offender. These are all valuable in their way if the cruel system must be maintained, and it is deeply to be de plored that they were not earlier promul gated, by which much suffering might have been avoided, and human life spared; but it appears to us to be still defective in some par ticulars, in which even the advocates of military flogging might well be contented to have it amended. In the first place, why should it be at all permitted under the sentence of a regimental court martial? The former regulations drew a considerable distinction, and a very proper one, between the sen tence of a regimental and other courts-martial, by per mitting only a lesser amount of punishment under the sentence of the former. The officers of the offender's regiment are more apt to be influenced by other considerations than those which appear in evi dence during the trial. They are more likely to be prejudiced, and to select a mode of punishment in one case which they would not inflict in another. The sentence is not submitted to the scrutiny or revision of the higher military authorities, which we conceive in every case it ought to be, before the offender is sub jected to so grievous a torture. The other soldiers of the regiment will be more satisfied of the strict impar tiality of the tribunal, it will make a far deeper im pression generally, and it will relieve the officers of the regiment from odium, - and prevent feelings of dislike and hatred in the men towards those placed in authority over them. An officer should never, under any circumstances, sit on a court-mar tial for the trial of a soldier of his own regiment which may end in flogging. Thus the feelings of mutual goodwill and regard, which should to the utmost degree be kept up, will be pre served and maintained. Again, there should be:some regulations adopted for equalising the punishment. It is well known that 50 lashes may be made equal in severity to 500 ; much will depend on the size, material, and manner of preparing the instrument of torture, and the mode of inflicting it, and yet this matter, so important in itself, on which the very life of the victim may depend, is wholly left to the discretion of the executioner, a subordinate, who may possibly entertain feelings of personal malignity to the man he is about to punish. The evidence taken before the inquest on WRITE, proved that there were no printed or written instructions as to the mode of flogging, or as to the description of cat. Farrier CRITTEN stated " that he had been fourteen years in the regiment, and had never, when called upon to flog a man, received any orders. He lis tened to the sentence, and then went to flog the man sentenced. He had seen old farriers flog, and, as well as he could, he imitated them, He never had' any direction as to the weight or force of the blow. He struck as he thought best. He never had instructions how to strike, where to strike, or with what force to strike. He purchased the whip-cord, and made the cats himself." By an ex traordinary circumstance in one of the cats produced at the inquest, seven out of eight of the knots were doubled, (thus increasing fearfully the severity of the punishment therewith inflicted), although Farrier CRITTEN positively swore that the double knots were not made by him, or by any other man. We have, it thus incontestably proved that the entire matter is left to the sole discretion of an inferior, little above the rank of the offender, who may in crease or mitigate the punishment at his option. This is a power which should not be permitted to remain in such hands. Again, if possible, the man so punished should not be permitted to remain in the regiment, but should be exchanged into another on the earliest opportunity, if not dis missed the service. It would by this means be much more valuable as an example to the other soldiers, and the man would not have the oppor tunity of leading astray and seducing his comrades, who, from sympathy with the sufferer, would be ' NAVAL AND MILITARY DEPARTMENTS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the preparation, audit, and presentation to Parliament of annual amounts of the receipt and expenditure of the Naval and Military De partments. The Bills were then read a first time; to be read a second time on Tuesday. Mr. OSBORNE brought forward the following motions, which were agreed to : That the Dublin Paving Board Returns be printed. That the Dublin Wide Street Returns be made forthwith, and printed. Return showing the gross and net amounts of Irish Quit and Crown Rents, as received and applied by the Com missioners of Woods and Forests in each year, from the year 1800 until the year 1845, both inclusive. WORKS AND FISHERIES. Mr. PARKER obtained leave to introduce a Bill to em• power the Commissioners for the issue of Loans for Public Works and Fisheries to make loans in money to the Com missioners of her ➢Majesty's Woods in lieu of loans heretofore authorised to be made in Exchequer-bills. The House then adjourned at Half-past One. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was from 6;000 to 7,000 bales, at steady rates.—Shares were much the same. The sales of cotton for the week were 43,610 bales. There has been rather an uneasy feeling excited in the Portuguese trade by the reported embarrassment of a firm connected with Lisbon, which has been disappointed of its usual remittance, owing to the serious embarrassment oc casioned by the unwise suspension of the bank there. The returns of the average assets and liabilities of the Bank of England during the week to the Ist inst., offers the fol lowing features Notes issued £29,292,320 Decrease Public Deposits, increase Other Deposits, decrease Seven Day and other bills, increase 3,399 • Other Securities, decrease... 515,150 15,802,553 Decrease During the present week, however, permission has been obtained from the Court of Chancery to receive back an im mense discount of railway deposits, Accounts of March 31 have been received from Sydney. They are almost exclusively occupied with the details of the extraordinary discoveries made in the course of Dr. Leichhardt's journey in:the interior of Australia, which occupied eighteen months, the distance as the crow flies being 1,500 miles, but, as actually trodden, nearly 3,000 miles. There were found to be large waterpools, numerous rivers, a fertile soil, and, in short, everything adapted to render a country available to settlers, and the most interest ing results are expected. A testimonial was to be presented, and if the result answers the expectations of the colonists, Dr. Leichhardt will be as fairly entitled to the gratitude of the world as the first of her warriors and statesmen. There is a very dull market for the Public Securities, and the quotations are without any buoyancy. Consols have been marked 95 3 / 4 to 95%, and the New Three-anda-Quar• ter per Cents. are 97% to 98. Exchequer-bills have receded o 10s. and 6s. premium. In the Foreign Market there is scarcely anything doing. Portuguese are heavy, at the decline,to 38 1 / 2 , but for Account have alternated from 38 3 / 4 to 40. Shares range lower generally.
