Daring so many of its predecessors, we have heard a v as t d ea l about the necessity for some immediate and nempre _ hsnsive changes of this description. Nay, there are even now two very important measures affecting the tne tropolis promised to the citizens of London and Nest, minster by her Maaant's Government—one for th e better supply of water, and another for the better prevention of intramural interments. The latter Bill referring to a matter which involves what its originator has happily termed "the first sanitary requirement and the greatest sanitary prin ciple"—has already been fiirmaily i n troduced, indeed, to the notice of the House of Commons by the Home Secretary and by the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, being intended as a corrective to the inadequate and wholly abortive enactment passed during the existecce of the late Administration , Meanwhile the same subject has been agitated else where. An acknowledgment of the imperative necessity of some - speedy interposition on the part of toe Legislature was elicited some time back from the PIIIML , MINISTER, it may ,be remem bered, by a remarkable speech delivered in the 'louse of Lords by the Earl of SIAAFTtSBITLEY.

It would seem as if Lord SHAFTESBORY were so . enatrioured of the do-nothing course of the Board of Health that he is jealous of witnessiog.any intetierence of men who might bene fit the community by displaying an enterprise de• cidedly antagonistic to their indolence. The matter before the House was the second reading of the Lon don Necropolis and National P4ausoleurn Bill—a Bill which, we it joice to think, yesterday passed this stage of its: progress through Parlianaset, in spit e o f the opp os itiC n o f t h e E ar l o f SHAFTESBURy.

They further asserted "that this custom has desecrated the repose of the dead, and injured the health and feelings of the living, cannot be denied ; it has also exhibited the singular instance of the most wealthy, moral, and civilized community in the world tolerating a prac tice and an abuse which has been corrected for years by nearly all other civilized nations in every part of the globe :" deciding finally " that burials should bs absolutely prohibited, after /I certain date, within the limits of such towns or placer, except in the case of family vaults already existing, the same par taking of the nature of private property, and being of limited extent." Such, the writer very justly insists, should be the course pursued in this matter by the leaders of the present Admi nistration. " The time has assuredly arrived," he sass " when a system, which I have long since fully exposed and denounced, cacnot, must not be dealt with in a feeble or partial manner." Feeble and partial the measure introduced to the House of Com- mons on the part of the Cabinet unquestionably pro rnisas to be—but for its rejection, or, at any rate, for its modification, we now look forward with all eagerness after the remonstrance addressed to Lord JoaN MANNERS by the originator of the sanitary movement. The Protestants of the United Kingdom, and par ticularly the members of the Church of England, Owe a deep debt of gratitude to the Hon. Gentleman the Alember fir Cockermcuth for his indefatigable exertions to purify the Establishment from the abuses that have from time to time crept in. He has on many former occasions boldly grappled with matters that brought censure and reproach on the Church, sparing no pains to ascertain the real facts of each case, and bringing them fairly and openly before the House and country. The nature, and cir curnstanceF, and extent of the evils, were thus made manifest, and in many instances remedies were • provided which would never have been beard of but for the fear of exposure by the vigilant and fearless censor. Never, however, did he render more valuable service than last night, when he carried by a rnejority of 45, in a House of 267 Members, his motion for a Select Committee to inquire into the circumstances connected with the institution of the Rev. Mr. B2NNETT to the vicarage of Frome. , The circumstances of the case are unfortunately so painfully notorious that it is unnecessary. to enter at any length into the fact?. Suffice it to say, that the Reverend Gentleman had been the in cumbent of the perpetual curacy of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge; that while in that position his proceedings were of such a character us to lead to great public excitement and frequent remon strances on the part of his diocesan—that on bis de cisive refusal to change these objectionable practices, the Right Rev. Prelate accepted the resignation which had been tendered, feeling, to use his own words, that "the peace and good order of the Church in his diocese would be seriously interrupted if Mr. BrINNETT were to remain the incumbent of that bane ace' These points, which were matters of public notoriety, and which were brought distinctly under the notice of the Bishop of BATH and WELLS, not onl y by the energet i c remonstrance that was pre seated against the nomination of the Reverend Gentlema n to the vicarage of Frome, but also by a letter f rom the Bishop of LONDON, should have insured full inquiry before the institution and induc tion into an important and populous benefice of a gentleman who, what ever m i ght be the amiability of his private character, could not have continued in his former cure without seriously interrupting the peace and good order of the Church in the diocese in which it was situate. It w ou ld then have been ascer tainedt7rines of th e RY such chzn ges h ad occurred in the ii opnons and whether do: en''. Gentleman in the interval between the months 01 December, 1850, and January, 1852, as to remove the objections that had been entertained ns to his bein g g entrusted with a cure of souls as a • minister of the Church of England at the former period. 141 that inquiry have taken place, it would b een trained that, that, so far 'from the objections being removed, they had been materially increased by the subsequemeyroceedings of the Reverend G on . tleman---that while. at Kissengen he had not only pointedly abstained from attending the services o f t h e Church of England„ but was a regular attendant at those of the Church of Rome, so as to give a mp l e foundation for the report strengthened and confirmed by the statement int the. " Catholic Directory," that he had actually gone over to the Roman Catholic re- igior , In place, however, of the inquiry so urgently required under the peculiar circumstances, there was cuous the " great distance" of the intended site from the metropolis. Now to talk of the " great distance" of the cemetery at Woking is positively nothing less than absurd. The " great distance" is within thirty minutes' journey of about the most central point in the metropolis, within thirty minutes' journey of the Strand, the great thoroughfare con , electing the East with the West, the bond of union between the siamese cities of London and Westminster. From the Waterloo Station of the South-Western Railway the funeral trains could be conveyed in half an hour to the gates of the Na. dismal Necropolis. Why, more than half an hour would be occupied in carrying dead bodies by the ordinary modes of conveyance from the majority of dwellings to any one of the horrid intramural graveyards, and certainly more than half an hour from most points to the nearest of the existing suburban cemeteries ! Yet, with the projected mausoleum, within a journey of thirty minutes from the Strand, Lord SHAFTES BURY could talk last night of its " great distance " from the metropolis ! The statement was unfair and the objectiOn ungenerouz, and for these reasons we were the more heartily rejoiced to find that the House of Peers decided against the express wish of the Earl of SHAFTESBUR Y. In reference to the Government Amendment Bill relating to Intramural Interments, an important let ter has recently been addressed to Lord Jour' MAN NERS by the gentleman in whose energies originated the whole of the great sanitary movement. To this document we are the more eager to refer, be cause therein we observe that Mr. GEORGE ALFRED WALKER speaks of it as " the close of almost half a lifetime of labour and exertion" in the cause of eani tary improvement. It is a communication such as, if only on this ground, challenges observation. It appeals to us, however, for, other reasons—reasons more applicable to the subject under public notice, though not more generally interesting, we feel assured, in their character—epitomizing as it does with very forceful lucidity the progress made during past years in the important movement of which it is dreamed by the present Cabinet that the proposed measure is to be the consummation. Would to Heaven that the Bill in question were capable of put ting an end at once and effectually to an evil which, in truth, as the writer forcibly observes, "weigh s down the energies of the strong, imperils the life of the weak, and lowers the standard of vitality in the aggregate populations exposed.to its influences !" That such an anticipation would be frivolous and futile is sufficiently evident on,the very frontispiece, as it were, of the Ministerial scheme ofamendment. The testimonies given in against the measure by Mr. G. A. WALKER are nominally five, but really eight in number. Before sta ting them, however, that gentleman reminds the Noble Lord the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests that he conceives himself justified in pronouncing his views at this moment, " having re peatedly and continuously protested against a state of things so destructive and so terrible—having ad dressed those in authority in plain and unmistakable language —having more than once petitiOned the House of Commons—and having been the chief means of procuring a Select Committee, in the year 1842, before which Committee I adduced a vast mass of evidence confirmatory of my views having given, in the year 1840, important evi dence before another Select Committee—and having, I repeat, during many years written against, spoken against, and acted rgainst this great iniquity." Thereupon Mr. WALKER adduces the conclusion arrived at by the Select Committee in their report, dated 14th June, 1842, affirming that, after "A long and patient investigation," they (the Committee) "cannot arrive at any ether conclusion than that the nuisance of interments in large towns, and the injury arising to the health of the comma a degtee of undue haste manifested by the Bishop. Although the validity of the nomination might well have been questioned, it being made not by the actual patron, who would have attained his majority in a few months, but by his guardian during his supposed ineapecity—although the various difficulties were die.inetly put forward on the part of the dis sentient parishioners, and it was known that legal measures would have been adopted to contest the question—no time was allowed for the purpose. The Bishop by his actions proved that his mind was fully made up, and that, so far from deli berating on the subject coolly and dispassionately, he would prevent the opposition from obtaining a fair trial. It was only on the 21st of January e that the curt reply of the Bishop to the memorial of the parishioners was obtained. Th 3 opinion of an emi• neat civilian was obtained by the 23d, recom mending that a caveat should be lodged against the institution in the Bishop's Court at Wells, and the gentleman who was returning with that opinion, and prepared to act in accordance therewith, found that the induction had actually taken place on the 24th of January. It was then the conduct of the Right Rev. Prelate which was moat strongly objected to, and every speech made on either side of the question proved not only the propriety, but the absolute neces sity for the stringent investigation demanded. If, as asserted by the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Member for the University of Oxford, the Bishop had only done what he was legally bound to do, and that he could not have refused, or given time for in quiry, without subjecting himself to proceedings in a court of law, and the danger of subjecting himself to heavy costs, there was the greater necessity for inquiry, with a view to such a modification of the law as would insure better discipline and greater uni formity of doctrine and practice in the Church. If no appeal lay from the decision of the Bishop to the Archbishop's Court, or any other competent tribunal, then it is essential that the omission should be recti fied with all convenient speed, and the subject placed upon a judicious and satisfactory basis. The Church has been placed in serious danger from causes within itself, and if it escape the peril, it is to the energetic efforts of the Hon. Gentleman by whom the motion was brought, in a speech of remarkable ability. The addresses of the Secretary of State for the Colonies and the CHANCELLOR of the Excite csuan, both exhibited in the strongest light the necessity for the investigation, and the latter Right Hon. Gentleman (although refusing to give any actual pledge) spoke in very distinct and une quivocal terms of the state of the ecclesiastical courts as a subject which must engage the attention of the Government, and the necessity of an "'efficient re form" of these tribunals. Once more, then, we congratulate Mr. HORSMAN on the well- merited success that has attended his zealous efforts, and which cannot fail to be eminently serviceable to the cause of Protestantism not only in the British dominions, but throughout the entire world. 'HE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have receives the Paris journals of yesterday. The tkLuister of Police has sent n first warnieg to he C'onstitutionnel for laving persisted, notwithstanciieg he communique of the Mcniteur, iu declaring, untruth fully, that GRANIEP. DE CASSAGNAC was authorised by the PRESIDENT. M. VERDE declares that MOCQUARD, the PRESIDENT'S Secretary, seat for a hundred copies of the first article on Belgium. He will, however, in obedience to the warning he has received, in future ex clude CASSAGNAC'S articles from the Constitutionnel. The Chateau of Ed was seized by the State on the morning of the sth. A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels, says: —" The note, in the Moniteur, relative to the articles of the Constitutionnel, was discussed by the Council of Mi nisters, and the discussion lasted some time. The author of it is the PRINCE PRESIDENT himself, and its tone is not that of communications generally made to the official journal. It displays a noble pride offended, a supreme disdain for the individual designated, a language at once haughty, becoming, and calm, which will be the chastisement of the man and the instruction of many others." note : The Moniteur Beige of Brussels contains the following "The Constitutionnel of Paris has just published two ar ticles on the situation of Belgium in relation with France, which have caused a just reprobation in the country. The day after the first publication of the Constitutionnel, the Minis , er of Foreign Afrairs of France, questioned by the Bel gian Envoy at Paris, formerly disapproved both of the spirit and terms. He declared in an official conference that the writer had only expressed an individual opinion, that he is not the organ of the French Government, and that the Go vernment has no power over the Constitutionnel. The second article published on the sth of this month, and in which the chief of the State is made to intervene, drew forth on the same day the declaration which was inserted in the Moniteur of Paris on Sunday." The article from the Moniteur is then quoted.. By order of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, fourteen females, who were among the persons con demned to transportation for being concerned in the in surrection in the department of the Lot-et-Garonne, have been set at liberty. The PRINCE PRESIDENT paid a visit some days ago to the Invalides to examine the tomb of the EMPEROR. He remarked with much surprise that two of the bas-reliefs represented subjects connected with the Orleans family. In fact, upon one of these slabs was sculptured the Prince DE JOINVILLE receiving the remains of the EM PEROR at St. Helene; and on the other, Louis PHILIPPE receiving the same remains at Peris. On a preceding visit, Louis NAPOLEON had remarked to M. VISCONTI, the architect of the tomb, that the bas-reliefs in ques tion were anything but indispensable. M. VISCONTI replied that they figured in the programme settled by the Council of Civil Buildings. The PRINCE then ex pressed his desire for their removal. Ho was therefore not a little displeased, upon returning to the tomb, to find that his wish had not been complied with. The bust of the PRINCE PRESIDENT was inaugurated on etunday, in the market of the Vallee. The Mayor of the arrondissement made on the occasion a speech, which was followed by shouts of " Vivo Louis NAPO LEON! " In the evening there was a ball in the market for the benefit of the poor. A letter from Strasburgh slates that the distribution of the eagles has token ple.ce there amidst an immense esucourse of spectators. Loud cries of " Vivo NAPO LEON" were raised, and the whole ceremony passed off with the most perfect order. I.T. BERRY ER has returned to Paris from his excur sion in Germany, Holland and Belgium. The Funds continued to maintain themselves on the Bourse.

A new de liberation was to take place en the following day. Tho Moniteur of WurtembuTg contains an ordinance convoking the States for the 15th. The %vew Prussian Gazette of Berlin of the sth says— " We know positively that the protocol of London, con taining, lst, the formal recognition of the sovereignty of the King of PRUSSIA over the canton of Neuchatel ; the implicit recognition of the right of the KING to re establish his authority by force of arms ; 3d, the formal engagement of the four contracting p art i es to re-e6ta blish the authority of his MAJESTY by means of nego tiation. Neither of the powers has mldo any reser vation." LINCOLNSHIRE AND NORFOLK RAILWAY. A meeting was held at Long Sutton, on Friday last, for the purpose of hearing the suggestions and opinions of landowners and others.interPsted in the question as to the course this line should take, so as best to meet the wants of the district with the greatest economy. The chair was taken by William Skelton, Esq., who explained the object of the meeting, and Mr. Marriott stated the general direction of the line pro posed by the promoters of the undertaking, namely, from Spalding by Holbcach and Sutton Bridge to Lynn, with a branch to Wisbeach, and one to Algarkirk on the Great Northern Railway. The engineer, Mr. H. 11. Fulton, was also in attendance to give such information as might be re quired. There were about forty gentlemen present, amongst whom were the Rev. J. Whiteford, Messrs. A •derley Howard, John Clarke, G Prest, S. Skelton, R. Young, R. Peele, Swain; Ayliff, Allenby, Hobson, Anderson, Marshall, 'l'. W. Clarke, Edward Skelton, Wroot, Savage, Parsons, E. Clarke, Cole, 8.4 c., &c. Mr. A. Howard, sir. Prest, Mr. S. Skelton and others joined in the discussion, and the general impression appears to be that the landowners would be ex tremely la.vourable to the line. EASTERN COUNTIES •RAILWAY.—Great reductions are said to effecting in the working expenses of this line. Goodness knows there" was room enough for reduction. We cannot vouch for the precise terms, but we bear that Mr. Gooch, the superintendent, has a contract for five years, and is said to have 10 per cent. on all reductions after the first 10,C00/. diminution. This is very well if the price per mile for working is not too high as a starting point. It is said to begin from 17d. a mile, or Is. 7d.—a pretty high figure. The men, too, are interested in the savings by i t hun selves becoming potty contractors. —l:Towpath'. Journal., TilE SHARE M4tt.KETS Railways. Aberdeen Amb., Not., host. & E. June.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which I, rt 00 0Ar , ther e ican were taken for ex po, and 2,500 on speculati on. market full prices. The sales comp r i se d 6,500 American,asw s2toeoadyrear.t Per nam and Maranham at 6%d. to 7d. 100 Egyptian at 64c1. to 9d., and 300 Surat at 4d. to 4 5 4:d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done at rather higher rates. The interests of the Ven ezue l a bondholrs are not likely to suffer permanently, while they have such an indefatigable agent at La Gaayra as Mr. Lord. That gentleman,in hialetter to the Finance Minister of the Republic protesting against the delay in making remittances, points out the law bear ing on the case, and states : "Art. 188 of the constitution guaranteeing civil liberty, individual security, property and equality l before the law, to all Venezuelans, does this not equall y all foreigners according to Art. 218 of the samecost a i l tUn t ; "Art. 211 of that fundamental code, does it not declare that Venezuela, notwithst an di n g it s political change, under goes no alteratio n i n h er engagements respecting the public debt, and that she would arrange the payment thereof by means of conventions and treaties with the several divisions which formed the Republic of Colombia? Was it not in virtue of this article that the agreement of 1840 was concluded, and which is now protected by that same Article 211? All this is so clear that it would be an insult to the good sense of the Administration if I were to add any observations of mine. The contrast is so strik ing, and the injustice so flagrant, that it must reflect upon the party who commits it. "In strict compliance with the foregoing laws, and the financial year being on the point of terminating, as we are in its eleventh month, there ought to have been remitted t o London nearly the whole of those 500,000 dollars from the ways and means, the Extraordinary Contribution h av i ng roduced enough for the object to whic h it wa s to be applied. There has, however, only been sent, in August, 1851, 7,000/ ; in February, 1852, 4,7821.; making to g ether 11,7821., 4'31. 78,000 dollars, which leaves a balance of 422,000 dollars. " I do not mention the 12,5001. remitted in July, 1850 , be cause they formed part of the bud g et for 1850 to 1851, which must be added to that o f 1851 to 1852. Your Ex• cellency is aware that in • order to cover the six months' interest due on the ISt Octob er last, it re q uires 17,236 /. 185. , 10d. in addition to those 12,5001. ; and again, 29,7361 . 18s. 10d. for the dividend due la st A p ril. The rest h aving to be applied to the arrears of in terest, let the decision of Congress respeeting the agreement of 12th Se p tember b e whatever it may. By the unlawful disp osal of the funds a ssigned by the Venezuelan laws to the payment of the foreign creditors— funds which were to have been their exclusive property the Republic has thereby incurred an addit ional obligation The protest for compensation of losses to the bondholders. , the more letter, justand which I made in their name by my previous which, I herewith repeat, is, on that account and necessary, to secure the rights of the British creditors, whom I represent. "I have been informed that your Excellency, being con dwenda? due should vinced.of the truth of all this, did promise to m y agent iny our capital, that, by the next packet . , of the 10th of this month, an official the whole amount required for the two dividends be remitted, and that you would favour notice of all the particulars thereof for my n a_ un . wn information and that of the creditors. "I trust your Excellency will not deviate from this re as to watch; solution in honour of Venezuela, and for the sake of justice, - as also for the better observance of the l aws, preceding the executive power of the Republic h over which in due time, you will favour me with and also that, an acknow ledgment of this letter, and of the ce for the bond g One, for my own guidance." admits the Perhaps the most consolatory circutan likely to bear good to use ever holders is that the energy of their Agent fruit, for the Minister in his reply stated by Mr. Lord, and Promises force of what is Y exertion to remit steadily by each mail. The following is from Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's Circular, dated New Orleans, M ay is James Irvine, of Liverpool e.... , and published by Mr. "Our review of the Ist inst. left the Cotton market very firm, with an upward tendency of psi s Pacifie and Europa, which came to handes' The accounts per ing week, increased and stimulated i during the succeed mend, and factors were enabled tot realieseahlirgehadeyr rates aive The e sales of that week amounted 16,000 bales were sold in one r d e a d y. ° 87 ,750 bates, of which firmness. asking, The heavy business at the close of last week having .reduced the stock for sale, this week opened more quietly, rates, and showing much eta' however, very full freights has caused many buyers su A bm m it a t t o er t i h al e d h e i c a l h inei the lst pre tensions of holders, and middling 9c.

There was a reduction yesterday afternoon in the terms at which bills of exchange were negotiated on the principal cities of the Continent. Paris, 90 days, was taken at 25 60 to 62%; Amsterdam at 12 1% to 3 4 ; namburgh at 13 10% to 11 40 and Trieste at 12 22 to 26. There has been a further advance in Consols, and the set tlement of the Account, now in progress, has a decided effect, Stock having been taken up for investment. Consols have been 100% I A for Transfer, and 100 A to 101 for Account. The New Three-and -a-Quarter per Cents. have been at 1023, to aa, and the Three per Cents. at 99% to par.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—TiIe Canada's advices of the 26th ult. from New York, apprise us of a further rise of 1 4 to I/ c. per lb. in the price of cotton at all the ports of the Union, although the total receipts were 2,820,205 bales against 2,169,342 last year, whi . e the accounts of the grow ing cropsontinuedhighly favourable. These accounts have in some degree strengthened the upward tendency which the market had previously manifested. In the great bulk of mule and water yarns, from No.. 40's or .50's downward, the market is rather dearer than before; for, if the spinners are not requiring an advance, they at least abide firmly by their quotations, and to the extent of the business effected, those quotations are realised, This is practically a gain of about per lb., so far as the transac tions go : and, in some instances, this is carried beyond the realisation of prices previously required to a demand for an additional I fid. But business is restricted by this require ment. The buyers distrust the continuance of a rise in America, which is merely a consequence of improved ac counts from Liverpool, and which is outstripping the up ward course on this side. They therefore hold back from business, and the transactions of the day are of no great amount. It is evident, however, that, at the previous rates,' the home consumers of yarns would have supplied them selves to a fair extent, as would also some of the export houses. In the finer spinnings, there is, as before, a more decided tendency upward than in the lower and medium counts. In the department fof goods there is a similar dis position amongst producers to raise their terms, though not in an e as u i qal degree, nor so generally in the various descrip tions, n yarns. The most backward makes are domes ticeT cloths, and the lower qualities of printers. ROCHDALE, MONDAY. --We have had a steady demand for pieces to-day, at former prices. There have been a few Londcn buyers in the market to-day, which has given a greater stimulus to business. There has been a better de mand for wool, and former prices have been freely given. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The position of this market, as regards demand for silk manufactured goods,isnow apparently less active than we have had occasion to report for some weeks past, in consequence of the spring trade being ended. A good business continues doing in light descriptions of piece goods; and this also applies to some black handkerchief manufactures. The thrown silk market is becoming gloomy, which is attributed to some extent to manufacturers waiting to see what styles of goods are likely to take for the autumn ; but the demand for fine descriptions for continental purposes continues to a fair extent. The throwsters are now busier than they have been for some time past. The raw silk market may be quoted much firmer for Chinas and Bengals, and the approaching public sales of the 23d inst. in London have had a tendency to check business, although the amount to be brought forward is very small. We are sorry to have to report a failure of a silk broker of this town, whose liabilities are variously stated f rom 1 , 5 1)01. to 5 0001. HALIFAX, SATURDAY. —Both in our Piece-hall and in the warehouses the demand for worsted goods, of all sorts is exceedingly limited, and sales cannot be effected to any extent, except at rates which are wholly unremunerative. The yarn market also continues in a very languid state. The spinners are compelled, by the high price of the raw material, to ask an advance of price, which the merchants will not give. Consequently the trade is paralysed, and an extensive curtailment of production must inevitably be the result. The wool market, also, far from active ; an d th e quant i t i es changing hands are but small. The staple rs are i n a difficult position ; for the prices asked by the growe rs are hi g h er t h an are at allli v ke likely to be realised h ere , even t h oug h t h e quo tations for is should undergo cons id era bl e i mprovemen t.

A meeting of the electors of Finsbury was held last night at the Drapers' Arms Inn, Islington, at which the following letter was read from Mr. Wakley TO THE ICLEcTeRs OF THE BOROUGH OF FINSIIUR Y . Gentlemen,—The discharge of an exceedingly painful duty devolves on me on this occasion. In consequence of the sudden recurrence of a severe indisposition, I am a ga i n prevented from attending in my place , in Parliament. Having become the subject of another attack of ill-health, I am ur gently pressed by my family, and also by medical friends of great ability and experience, to retire at acting in tf ora co y n e f a o r rmi fro t m y the midnight labours of the House of Commons. The pro p riety, and even the necessity, of my ti, with this advice is so forcibly and so acutely felt by me that I now respectfully announce to you that it is not my inten tion to solicit the honour of your suffrages at the ensuing le relinquishin g th e i mportant distinction of repre seelnetiWtnioglyou in Parliament, lam cheered by the reflection that during the seventeen years that I have occupied ' a seat in the House of .Commons as your representative I have never intentionally spoken or voted in antagonism to your best interests, or in opposition to those rational and just prin ciples of government which you have always patriotically and most zealously advocated.

The meeting, however, passed a resolution not to accept the Honourable Gentleman's resignation, and appointed a de putation to wait upon him, with a view to obtain his consent to again become a candidate. WATERFORD POLITIC;. A correspondent in Waterford. writes to say that a curious combination has been formed for putting into Parliament Sir IL W. Barron and Mr. Christmas for the city, Lord Ingestrie and Sir Nugent Humble for the county, and Mr. Beresford Hope for Dungarvan. We are acquainted with the mode in which it is hoped to make this plot work. It will not, however, suc ceed. The people of Waterford —in county, in city, and in borough—are true—true as the writer of this article knew them to be in 1826—true to their country; true tovvetheekirffariotmh, true to themselves.

The few buyers in attendance purchased only for immediate wants, at prices barely equal to those paid on Monday. For forward delivery next to nothing was doing. The import of foreign Wheat has amounted to 4,120 quarters, Selected qualities were held firmly, at full quotations; but the value of other kinds was almost nominal. We bad a moderate sale for Barley, at late currencies. The, show of English was unusually small. The Malt trade was very dull. Oats—the show of which was by no means extensive—moved off slowly, but nofurther decline took place in the quotations. Both Beans and Peas were quite as dear, but Indian Corn and Flour met a very slow inquiry. Tiln+ WEEK. U - A lr PAPIA (THIS DAY.) not/SE OF CO.K.MON S.

After a few words from Sir B.

That being the genera l , view of the Government, he thought it would be prows;' tare for the House to prejudge the question by hinc lip° ' them to any particular detaile.--(Hear.) Lord EBRINGTON was glad to hear that the G 7l vernment intended to tak e th e w h o l e su b ject of the 131 into their serious consideration. Sir R. H.
