THE SUN, LONDON, FRTDAY EVENIN'Gr, JULY 10, 1846. most entire approbation, the most zealous of her children have never demanded more than that which the late Premier expressed in his retiring speech, viz., a real and substantial equality. He has gratuitously pledged himself to support and co-operate with his successors in a line of policy calculated to attain this object, and, doubtless, his friends will follow the course pointed out by their leader. A new Ministry, consisting of those who have ever been the foremost to take into their consPeration the grievances affecting our Irish brethren, has just succeeded to power, and its principal members have already, in their addresses and speeches, declared their earnest anxiety to ameliorate the condition of the Irish people r ; nay, the very materiel of which it is composed would afford a testimony stronger than any words, that it is their determination to act ac cording to that principle. In addition to the Mar quis of CLANRICARDE (now a Cabinet Minister), 111 r. SHELL, and Mr. I , VysE, who were formerly connected with the Whig Ministry, Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE, the O'CoNoa DON, and Mr. REDING TON have accepted office—an Irish Nobleman, of large landed property in that kingdom, a kind and liberal resident landlord, now fills the Viceroyalty— an Irish lawyer, of the greatest eminence and the most enlightened and liberal politics, respected and beloved no less for his eminent legal acquire ments and his profound knowledge of law, than for his admirable temper, his inexhaustible patience, the courtesy of his demeanour, and the kindliness of his disposition, has received the Great Seal as Lord Chancellor—the new Chief Baron, a popular and respected Roman Catholic—the new Solicitor-Gene ral, of the same creed—the important situation of Under-Secretary for the Home Department conferred upon Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE, one of the most energetic of the Irish party, who was by the Irish members selected for the difficult task of leading the opposition to the Coercion Bill—the O'CoNoR DON, the representative of the ancient monarchs of Ireland, and esteemed less for his high blood and long descent in a country where such recollections are cherished, than for his own personal qualifications, being one of the Lords of the Treasury, and Mr. REDINGTON, like the O'CoNoa DoN, an Irish Roman Catholic of large landed property, and who from his position as one of the Irish Land Commissioners has had peculiar opportunities of acquiring a knowledge of the vitally important question of the social con dition of the people with respect to the tenure of land and the relationship of of landlord and tenant, being the Under Secretary for Ireland. All these appointments prove that the confidence of the Crown has been bestowed without reference to religious distinctions, and that the motto of the Government, in the distribution of its patron age on every new vacancy, will be, " Detur digniori." It is surely not asking too much of the Irish people to demand their confidence for a Ministry so consti tuted, and to require them to abstain, at least until their well-founded expectations should he disap pointed, from any pr)ceedings calculated to embar rass or impede their friends in the government of the country. That they will act in this prudent and generous manner we doubt not, and doubtless their country will soon receive the benefit of so wise a de ermination. The Frankfort Journal states that there i 3 no longer any reason to doubt of a reconciliation being on foot between France and Russia. In the same paper we find the following : " The Diet of the States of Lower Austria has just been closed. The demands of the State have been transmitted to the Marshal of the Diet. The Aulic Chancellor has been charged to draw up a project of law on forced labour (corvee)." Lieutenant WAGHORN, who has by this time left Vienna fur Trieste, was received with the greatest consideration by the Austrian Government. Prince METTERNICH had positively assured him of the com pletion of the Salzburg Railway in three years. It was said that the English Government had requested him to make six successive experiments of conveying the Indian overland mail via Trieste, before being called on to decide in favour of that port. It was reported at Turin that Austria had de manded of the Sardinian Government the dismissal of N. BALBO. the author of the "Prospects or Italy, and of the Marquis D'AZEGLIO, a distinguished Italian author, from the offices which they respec tively held under the King of SARDINIA-a demand with which his Sardinian MAJESTY had refused to comply. According to letters from Rome it would appear that the Pops has commenced his reign by an act of good policy as well as of humanity. He has given orders to dissolve the extraordinary Political Commissions, and to suspend all political prosecutions. On the 28th his HOLINESS signed the pardon of Professor ORIOLL who had been Minister of Public Instruction during the revolution of 1831, and there is every reason to believe that within the course of a few days a general am nesty will be published. The Governor of Rome had caused several persons to be arrested. He was called on by the PorE to explain his conduct, and being unable to give any satisfactory reasons, the prisoners > were ordered to be immediately set at liberty. In consequence of a disagree ment among the Cardinals comprising the tem porary commission of Government, Cardinals LAM BRITSCHINI, MATTEL and BERNETTI had tendered their resignation. They belong to the old party of the serviles, and LAMBRUSCHINI was the Minister of the late Pope at the time the " thunders of the Vatican" were launched against railways. On this last subject a letter from Rome of the 28th, says— " The question of railroads is already resolved in princi ple, according to the wish generally expressed by the men who take an intsrrst in the progress of industry in the Pontifical States. It is even asserted that the line from Rome to Civita-Vecchia has been conceded to a company represented by Count Cini. Prince Torlonta has applied for the line from Civita- Vecchia to Ancona, and that from Rome to the frontiers of Naples is applied for by Count Pianciani. Thus, it will be seen, that the impulsion is given by the most honourable, rich, and intelligent men in the country, and it is favoured by the Government." Madrid Papers of the 3d instant have arrived. The Gazette announces the safe arrival, at Taragona, of the troops embarked on board the steamer Alerta, who were stated to have perished on the coast of Almeira. The dissolution of the Provincial Militia was proceeding quietly. The Progrt,sistas were in great exultation at the receipt of the news of the defeat of Sir R. PEEL, on the Irish Coercion Bill. The Herald() declares that it has received informa tion that the Spanish emigrants in Lisbon are pre paring for an attempt at counter-revolution in Spain. " MADRID, 801 a..., JULY 3.—The Three per Cents. were done on the 3d at 32 1 4 for cash, and 32% for paper; the Five per Cents., at 20►/ 2 for paper; the Debt without Interest, at 6% for cash ; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando, at 282 ; and those of Isabel, at 197. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. They are occupied almost entirely with elec tioneering addresses. The following circular, ad dressed by the Minister of the Interior to the Prefects of the Departments may be considered as the Ministerial manifesto:— " Monsieur le Prefet,—l have sent you the royal ordon nance dissolving the Chamber of Deputies. The general elections are about to take place. It is a new and great trial for the destinies of our country. Every one must do his duty in this decisive struggle. I do not fear to render public the instructions which I give you : they contain nothing that is not conformity both with the principles of our con stitutional Government, and the maxims of loyalty and honesty which ought to serve as a rule of conduct to every one, whether belonging to the Administration or private citizens. There are some persons who pretend that the Administration, remaining impassable and inactive, ought never to interfere in elections. These maxims have never been put in practice under any Cabinet, and they are con trary to the very nature of our institution-i. The Govern ment is unceasingly attacked in its acts, its system, and its intentions. Far be from us the idea of complaining of that ; it is the condition of all Powers, under the representative system, to be subject to a continual control. But what would become of a Government attacked unceasingly, which should not be defended ? The agents who represent it in a direct manner are bound to forward its policy, which they would not serve if they did not think good ; to strive with courage and integrity against the manoeuvres of parties, to enlighten men's minds, when attempts are made to deceive them, to bring round by conviction con scientious opinions, and to ensure the triumph of such principles of Government as may best respond to the wants of our times and of our country. What I ask from you is the exercise of thiefrank and loyal influence—nothing more, nothing less. The iadependence of consciences ought to be scrupulously respected ; public interests and lawful rights ought never to be sacrificed to electoral calculations. It is neither by the seduction which belongs to the hope of un merited personal favours, nor by the intimidation which would disturb, by the exercise of a right; situations lawfully acquired, that you oughts-to win over suffrages to the policy of the Government. Severe fidelity to the rules of justice in the furtherance of business, respect for liberty of voting, with at the same time a firm and persevering action on men's m inds, are the principles which, in election matters, ought to preside over the relations of the administration with the citizens, The principal strength of great political parties ie in union ::they who uphold the Conservative policy ought to be fully imbued with this truth. All the efforts of their adver saries will tend to divide them ; all their acts ought to aitit at preserving in their ranks a unity which will as sure their success. When a great public interest commands, it is necessary to know how to obey, and to sacrifice to one's convictions a n d one's country's suscepti bilities even when they are well-founded, and pretensions which may be considered legitimate. One of your duties is to remind' all men supporting the Conservative policy, and sincerely desiring to witness its triumph, of thesis rules of honour and good sense. This policy is at present less than ever difficult to defend ; it has been tried, and does not fear to be appreciated by its results. Peace, compromised a few years ago, has been maintained with honour; order has beer. preserved, without any recurrence to rigorous measures, ant' without any person being able to accuse the Government of using too largely the p wers which the laws place between its hands. When the Electoral Colleges met in 1842, grave and difficult questions occupied the publi c m i n d ; these have all been happily settled. At what period has there been ever seen in our country so brilliant a prosperity and so pro ' found a security? The greatest enterprises of public utility can be accomplished without compromising the gocd order of the finances. What has hithertoo never been seen, we have carried on the same time military works, on which the safety of the country depends, and civil works, which augment alike its riches and its power. The continual de velopment of labour and intelligence constitutes at present the proper progress of societies. In this great movement, which will reflect honour on our age, the Government acquits its debt, both by the execution of the public works, which favour individual labour amongst all classes of the population, and by the liberal impulse given to public instruction in all its forms. This progress is at the same time the most certain and mist fruitful. The policy which has obtained the support of the last Chamber can present itself before the ceuntly with head erect. But if even the most fastidious minds are obliged to admit the benefits which France enjoys in the midst. of order and peace, every one ought to learn at the same time to appreciate the conditions by which these benefits may be preserved and increased. A slight deviation from the policy to which these results are due may trouble a state of things now serene, and compromise the certain prospectsof the future. The Government feels con- , vinced that it has done its duty; it is now for the citizens to do theirs—they have to choose between lines of policy already tried, and on the choice which they make will depend the destiny of their country. You belong to those whose mission it is to remind them incessantly of the responsiblity under which they labour, and of the importance of the rights with which the law has invested them. I am firmly convinced that you will know how to acquit yourselves of this duty with honour. Conservative opinion must owe its victory to the goodness of its cause, loyally anti courageously sustained ; it would neither suit its interests, nor your dignity, nor ours, to have it triumph by other means." The Pritchard indemnity is the cheval de bataille of the Opposition. The National publishes the names of all who voted in favour of it. The Uhirers, the organ of the parti-pretre. publishes a long ad dress to the electors in favour of what it calls religious liberty, which, being interpreted, means the absolute power of the priests over the laity. The meaning of this electoral address is "Vote as your priest tells you." The Electoral Committee of the Extreme Gauche is composed of Mes.,rs. DUPONT DE L'EuRE (chair man), ARAGO, General THIARD, LEGENDRE, MARIE, and CARNOT, and GARNIER PAGES (secretaries). The 31oniteur contains an ordonnance elevating General JACQUEMINOT• to the peerage. It was again rumoured that Marshal SOULT had tendered his re signation, and that 111. GUIZOT would be appointed President of the Council of Ministers. According to the Prase— " The Minister of War had written to the Maritime Prefect of Brest to know how long it would require to fit out the frigate Psyche for a distant expedition. Captain Lavand, commander of that vessel, which is to relieve the Uranie, had been called to Paris to receive his instructions. It was believed that he would replace Captain Bruat in the Govern ment of the French possessions in Oceania." "In announcing the departure for Tunis of the squadron commanded by the Prince DE JOINvILLE, " says the Comtitutionnel," we mentioned that this de parture was connected with the attempt which it was supposed would be made to instal at Tunis the Austrian Consul, who claims to be received in virtue of an order from the Porte, whereas the BEY pretends that it is he alone who can accord the exequatir. What would indicate that political matters have some co,.nexion with the sending out of our naval forces there is, that M. DE LAGAU, our Charge d'AlLires, has received orders to return torthvkith to his post. He arrived at Toulon on the 3d, and embarked next day." The Moniteur publishes the law relative to the railroad between Paris and Cherbourg, passing through Evreux and Caen, with a branch to Rouen, which the Minister of Public Works was authorised by the Chamber to concede directly to the company represented by Count DE BRETEUIL, the Duke de PLatzmica, M. EDWARD BLOUNT, &c. The same law authorises the direct concession of the Versailles and Rennes Railway to Messrs. EMILE PEREIRE, iIEICHTHAL, and TARBE DES SABLONS, allowing six - of the promulgation of the law for the dissolution of the two ve.:110. e„m p uines, or the final settlement of their respective claims.

(Before Mr. Secondary JAMEs.) MALLOW V. MASON. This was an action to recover damages for an excessive distress, and also for an illegal sale. The defendant did not plead or appear to speak in miti gation. Mr. ADDISON appeared for the plaintiff, and stated the case. The plaintiff is a journeyman plumber in Joiner street, Lambeth, and the defendant was his landlord. On the sth of May a distraint was made for sewers' rate, which defendant was bound to pay. A man was put in possession, but the next day, during the absence of the plaintitl; de fendant went with three men and forcibly took away not only the plaintiff's goods but also those of all the lodgers, in fact, stripped the house entirely ttr 41. 18s. rent, which he had not demanded. No appraisement was made, but the goods were sold immediately, and defendant kept the whole of the money. Plaintiff's goods were valued at 101. The SECONDARY said that the defendant had admitted all that had been alleged against him, and besides the value of the goods, plaintiff was entitled to such damages as the jury might think proper.

ImPROVEMENTS IN AGALICULTuRK.—There iS a fine field of wheat on the farm of Mr. Alfred Hearn, at Standen, Cowes, Isle of Wight, which was planted in double rows ten inches apart, with thirty inch spaces between, which admits the plough to pass freely and destroy all the weeds. The wheat is seven feet high and the ears seven inches in length ; it is four clustered Talavera wheat, and contains front 48 to 72 grains of corn in each ear ; we have some sent to our office as specimens, though there are some selected ears that even measure eight inches we are told, and the straw as stout as the largest part of the stem of a tobacco pipe. It is Mr. Ilearn's intention to plant the field with wheat again next year in the spaces between the rows ; he uses liquid manure from the farm-yard tanks ; the land is poor in quality, with a chalk bottom. NOVEL IMPORTATION --Yastereay morning ' a ihe Ve nezuela steam-ship arrived at the St. Katharine's Dock steam-packet wharf, from Havre, with twenty-two horses on board, which have been working for some time on the French railways, and will in future be employed on the Trent Valley Railway, now forming. It appears that the animals having been accustomed to the particular work 'care quired on railways, will be more serviceable than horses that have not been so engaged.

B FEARFUL COLLISION IN B O ND STREET.—Yesterday afternoon, between the hours of one and two o'clock, an accident occurred of a most fearful character, to Geo. Henry Patterson, Esq., of Bryanston-square. Mr. Patterson was proceeding along New Bond street, in one of Hanson's patent cabriolets, when the rai n be g an to descend in torrents, and the driver had orders to increase his speed. On pa ss i ng Brook -street there came another vehicle of a similar descrip tion, both going at a pretty s mart pace ; and before they could get out of ea ch other's Way they came in direct colli sion. At this time Mr. Patterson quickly endeavoured to escape, and in getting out, the horse suddenly backed, and he was thrown down, and the wheel passed on to his l e f t leg. He was removed into a surgeons, where he received all the attention the nature of his injuries demanded. Both cabs, as well as the horses, are considerably damaged. The drivers escaped with a few bruises only'' From a P ar li amentar y return, it appears that th e commission to inquire into the potato disease cost 19,000/. THE CROPS IN THE ENVIRONS OF LONDON.—The harvest in many parts round London has commenced vigor ously. In the neighbourhood of Ilford, Edmonton, Waltham, Broxborne, Hertford, Barnet, 8, n ,, many fields of wheat and barley have been cut, and it only requires a little fine weather to have the produce securely housed. The recent rains ap pear to have well filled the ears, and although here and there crops look rather weak, yet the general report speaks most favourably of their condition. DEATH OF S IR AUBREY DR VERE, BART.—On Sunday evening, at four o'clock, at his residence, Curragh Chase, county Limerick, this gentleman breathed his last. Sir Aubrey de Vere was only son of the late Sir Vere Hunt, who sat in the Irish Parliament, nephew of the late Earl of Limerick, and brother-in-law of Lord Monteagle. His eldest son is Vere de Vere, Esq., late high sheriff of the county, and is now Sir Vere de Vere. • LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING.--The Great Weaun has net yet arrived, but is expected every moment. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton 'Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet. Sales, 5,000 to 6,000 bales, including some export business. Shares were quiet. It must be most satisfactory to all persons desirous of hav ing a free intercourse for commercial purposes, to learn that the Government of the United States, in its war with Mexico, and its blockade of the principal ports of that country, has consented that the mail packets be allowed entry into Vera Cruz and Tampico. We are informed that the assent of the British Government to the requirements of the republic relative to the blockade of the ports named, will tie gazetted this evening, but that the ports will be open to the Royal Mail packets for the delivery and receipt of letter hags. This is a course of proceeding honourable to the Executive of the United States, to whom the mercantile world's thanks are due. We must not forget, however, that ;he Paella of Egypt first set such an example. It is represented that the coasting trade, as well as the fishing boats, while bonafide carried on, will nut be interfered with by the American blockading fleet. Of course no further remittances of bullion can be expected from Mexico until the blockade has been raised. There have not been any accounts of late dates announced in the City this morning. The Consul Market has been pretty firm to-day, at from 95% to 96 1 / 8 for immediate transfer, and at 95% to 96 for ,he Account. The Commissioners took a small quantity of Stock to-day. The larger portion of the surplus revenue will be laid out in Exchequer-bills. The premium upon the 1,000/. bills is given at 12s. Bank Stock for the Account been sold at 2CB I / 2 . The bargains in the Foreign Stock Market have been very tew indeed to-day. Mexicans are quoted at 27% ; the Portuguese Four per Cents. at 48 ; Russian at 112 ; Spanish Three per Cents. at 36%; Dutch Two-and-a-Half p r Cents. a: 59% ; and the Four per Cents. at 94%. The Railway Share market has been rather firm this morn. ing, especially for Aberdeen, for Eastern Counties, for the York Extension, for the Great North of England , and for Lon don and Birminghams.

Although it is impossible to prognosticate, with any degree of certainty, upon the various borough elections now pending in many widely scattered provinces, it is easy enough to conjecture the conse quences of those elections. From the enthusiasm displayed so universally by the population in favour of the recent achievements and fluctuations of the Parliamentary and Ministerial circles, it cannot re main matter of much uncertainty whether the candi dates particularly identified with the policy of the RUSSELL Administration will be accepted or re jected. It cannot, we repeat, remain matter of much uncertainty whether those who have been especially instrumental in erasing a monstrous and ruinous statute, and in substi tuting one in every way consonant with nature, reason, civilisation, and common honesty, will be spurned or welcomed by the population of Great Britain. As Mr. COBDEN beautifully observed in the final meeting of the League, the spirit of that extra ordinary association will pervade the earth, though the body be deceased; and that potent spirit, living as it does in the hearts of our population, im buing their whole political sentiments, and predomi nating at this moment over every other exciting cause in the popular mind, renders it infinitely more than probable that the various electioneer- I ing scenes, throughout the United Kingdom, will form one emphatic evidence of the satisfac tion of the British people. A. testimonial is at pre sent being collected for presentation to Mr. COBDEN ; another is being actively procured as a tribute of gratitude and admiration to Sir ROBERT PEEL; ten thousand pounds are tendered to GEORGE WILSON, the patriotic Chairman of the League. How much nobler, how immeasurably more gratifying to such characters, would be the unanimous approval of the enfranchised men of England! To recognise in the unanimous result of so many borough and county elections the voice of a whole nation according its sanction to their recent proceedings, and according that sanction more unmistakeably than any vestry votes or corporation addresses, would, we are assured, afford more solid gratification to those champions of social freedom than cheques upon a banker or marble effigies in a market-place. By the triumphal return of liberal and free-trade candidates throughout the country, the most brilliant testimonial that inventiveness could devise would be simul- taneously accorded to RICHARD COBDEN, CHARLES VILLIERS, PEYRONNET THOMPSON, JOHN BRIGHT, and their renowned colleagues ; and in that testi monial would be embodied an expression of grateful approbation to Sir ROBERT PEEL. All this would be iceomplished by an unanimity in the selection of representatives—and shall we not afford this tribute to our benefactors by the realisation of this unanimity ? We hope so ; and, heartily, we think so. If we might calculate results by what has already transpired among our metropolitan and provincial electors, we should at once pronounce our conviction that the candidates whom we have already specified will be alone wel comed in the vacant boroughs and counties. The ac ceptation of Lord J. RUSSELL, and Sir J. C. HOB.. HOUSE, and Sir D. LE MARCHANT, at London, Not- tir.gham, and Worcester; and since then the return of Mr. C. WOOD, the new Chancellor of the Ex chequer, as the representative for Halifax, have given a propitious character to the vista of remaining elec tions and a genial colouring to the perspective of the Ministry. ithtuu b x.,....., cf ni memberless districts we perceive, moreover, every indication of the most complete success to the Ministerial candidates. One circumstance should never be forgotten during the course of these pro ceedings, namely, that whatever may have been the conventional designation of the aspirants for the suf frages of the people—no matter whether they have been hitherto classed among Conservatives, Whigs, Tories, Liberals, or Radicals—they are now in every way eligible as popular representatives to the Com mons House of Parliament, providing they recognise and identify themselves with those principles which have recently won their way among our legislators, and which constitutes the chief cha racteristic of the RUSSELL Cabinet. Parties, we would fain have our countrymen believe and remember, wer€ virtually abolished by the very con solidation of the League ; placemen found their final reproof in the ready retirement of Sir ROBERT PEEL, when that illustrious man might, by tenacity of tenure, have continued in office many addi tional months ; and the present Premier has sig nalised to mankind the extinction of all party distinctions by tendering to Lords DALHOUSIE and LuicoLN a continuance in office under his Adminis tration. The House of Commons has, during this session, afforded itself a lesson which can never be overlooked—a lesson so salutary as to demonstrate to all future statesmen that their allegiance is not in dissolubly bound up with any political clique what ever; but that upon principles, and upon principles alone, they are to base their notions of legislation. "With this great and indisputable fact before them, the pro vincial electors of Great Britain will unanimously accord their suffrages to the Ministerial candidates. We published yesterday a letter from the Earl of MiLvrowsz to Mr. O'CONNELL, suggesting the policy of his postponing his exertions in favour of repeal for a season, in order to give time to form an Irish party to assist the Ministry, if willing—to urge them on, if lagging—in procuring justice for Ireland. His Lord shi p pledges himself, that if twelve months should pass without the words of Sir ROBERT PEEL being carried into effect, and perfect equality in civil, muni cipal, and political rights with England being ac corded to Ireland, that he will join in the efforts for the repeal of the union, and relax his exertions for the attainment of that object only with his life. His Lordship has long been favourably known to the people of Ireland as a politician of the most liberal class—an ardent and enthusiastic advo vote of the rights of his native land, and for the re moval of the weighty and grievous wrongs under which she has hitherto laboured. As such he is ex ceedingly popular amongst that warm-hearted and grateful people, and much weight is necessarily attachable to any recommendation coming from so influential a person. IVithout joining in the pledge with which he concludes, inasmuch as we are thoroughly convinced that the object is unattainable, and that were it otherwise, it would in its operation be most injurious to both countries, we strongly urge the adoption of the course proposed by his Lordship. Mr. O'CoNNELLhas proved himself too sincere a patriot, too honest a politician, to permit a doubt that he ' would hesitate for a moment, on any personal consi deration, to forego his agitation, to use all his powers to induce his folkwers to suspend the ques ti on o f re peal, if he thought it for the benefit of his country that he should d) so. He has long declared that all he sought for or desired was perfect and entire equality in every respect, that Ireland should form an integral portion of the British empire, and that no in sulting distinctior's should be permitted to exist. He has declared that his object was equality, and not separation, and that he was only induced to press on the question of repeal from a feeling of certainty that he could not obtain that justice which he required for his country at the hands of a British Parliament. He has repeatedly declared his willingness to give a trial when any well-grounded hope presented itself of ob taining that justice even by instalments, and he has acted up to that declaration under less favourable circumstances and less propitious omens than those which now exist. Everything at present appears in the most cheering aspect for our sister kingdom; bigotry and intolerance is now happily the exception, and not the rule in our Legislature; every liberal sentiment uttered on her behalf is received with the.

During the past week the arrivals of English Wheat for our market have been on a moderate scale, viz., only 2,660 quarters; the molds being very scantily supplied, the de mand tor wheat of home produce was steady, at Monday's prices. Owing to the low currencies at which America❑ Flour is selling, next to nothing was doing in Foreign Wheat, the quotations of which were barely supported. The best grinding Barley moved off steadily, at late rates, but other kinds were a slow inquiry. Superfine Malt was quite as dear, but other kinds hung on hand. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, moved off slowly, at late rates. ARRIVALS. Barley. 740 qrs. Wheat. 2,660 qrs. English ...... Irish .. Foreign ......

The num • bers of Sheep were not quite so extensive as those exhibited on this day se'nnight. On the whole the mutton trade was firm, and the quotations were a turn higher. The Lamb trade was steady at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, previous rates. In Calves a good business was doing at full prices, but Pigs commanded very little attention.

Member for Finsbury to postpone the motion till some ofher Majesty's Micisters had taken their seats in the House. Mr. T. DUNCOPIBE submitted that his motion was not a .. •-~ question for the Ministers at all; he claimed as a - right, ort the presentation of a petition, to have it printed. It was a question of practice and form of the House. Ministers had nothing whatever to do with the qt ,, stion. He did not pro-7 pose to go at all into the merits oc the subject.
