C. -...-...., r nil n tied Eaten., I We inveighed yesterday against the ratliness of al lowing any mistaken economy in the Naval Estimates to degenerate into niggardliness. Such has all along been to us matter for very serious solicitude in the midst of our unaffected anxiety to witness a rea sonable diminution in the amount of our annual expenditure. IV4 have dreaded lest the more en th. ueiaetic advocates of this decrease should, through what we could not but regard as a very dangerous s°licit ude, exert themselves to bring about reductions, in refer ence to the maritime service of Englan d , such as must necessarily prove, in the ens?, most disastrous, if it were no tiltinaatelyfound to be absolutely irre trievable. Instead of enervating the defensive power of the empire in this particular, we would see it, on the contrary, thoroughly re-organized ' and very con siderably re-invi g or ated. So f a r f rom consenting to witness without protest any such ill-judged and perilous retrenchment, We haveto the m been an long in readi ness to evince , in re g ard agement of the Royal Navy of Great Britain, a tu preference even to a mun ificence of exp enditure that tbe designated by some as extra va g ant. Rather than see th e f orce upon which our very existence, as an insular power, is mainly dependent, we should be willing— advocates of economy though we . are—to countenance a disbursement of an almost prodigal deecription, i 3 consequently with regret that we observe the argut he ,,,, of this very mistaken syste m of retrenchment put forward not only in the House of Commons, but subsequently in the columns of a morning Contem. porary, by the Hon. Gentleman the representative of Tavistock. It would appear that Mr. TEELAWNY is desirous that no misapprehension whatever should be entertained as to what he really observed in the popu lar branch of the Legislature, insomuch that he appeals to the Times to repeat yet more explicitly what might not be sufficiently comprehensible in the peges of Hansard —he invokes the aid of Journal ism to render yet more clear the records made by the short-hand writers of Parliament. Hence the letter published elsewhere in our columns of this evening, in which the Member for Tavistock en deavours to show that another million and-a-half might he spared to the nation from the Naval Esti mates, already reduced since 1847 by 2,000,0001. ster ling ! Seeing that the moneys were on Monday night actually voted, it certainly appears to us rather ill timed and superfluous to demonstrate that 4,000,000/. would be ample for the annual support of the mari time department, in lieu of the 5,700,0001. virtually accorded to the Admiralty within the last forty-eight hours by the House of Commons for the ensuing twelve months. that everything was done before any necessity should arise. Others might pause from real uncertainty as to how they would wish to bequeath their property, being too much busied in acquiring fortunes to think seriously of the ultimate disposition. Some avoid the small pecuniary outlay incident to the prepara tion of their wills, while the great majority are in fluenced by the dislike to think seriously on so unpleasant a subject, and perhaps a superstitious feeling secretly indulged in. The result in every , case is the same. It was only when the emer gency actually arose that the omission was felt. But professional advice or assistance could not then be obtained. It was therefore essential in such cases to dispense with all formalities, to look only to the substance, and to give effect to the intention of the testator whenever it could be fairly arrived at, adopting only such precautions as might be deemed essential for the prevention of fraud. Such was the case until the Statute of Wills (1 Vic., cap. 26), which came into operation on the Ist day of January, 1838, and by which certain formalities were rendered necessary in the execution and attestation of wills. The principal features of the new law were, that every will should be in writing, signed at the end or foot thereof by Me testator, in the presence of two or more persons, who should, in the presence of the tes tator, a f fix their names as witnesses. It has, however, been found that some one or more of these compara tively trifling points are but too frequently dispensed with, so that wills which could not be impeached on any other ground become inoperative. Many Learned Judges have expressed their deep regret at being compelled to disregard the clear and unequivocal ex pression of the testator's wishes on some merely tech nical difficulty by which the objects of their bounty were reduced from a state of comparative affluence and comfort to poverty and destitution. Persons of even the highest rank were not exempted from these mistakes, and we believe that her late Majesty Queen - , ADELAIDE was included among the number. The LORD CHANCELLOR has introduced a Bill to remedy these acknowledged evils, which last night received a second reading in the House of Lords. The Nobl e and Learned Lord directs attention to three points which require amendment, and we can scar cely suppose that there can be any dif ference of opinion as to the propriety of any or eith er of them. The first and most important topic relates to the signature of the tes tator. Lord S T. Lto riAnns denies that the execution should in that respect depend on " the rule of law, and not on the rule of spac e ,. and that if the signs - tu re b e affixed with th e b ona fide intention of giving validity might b to the document, placed some it should half or be effectual, a l t h ou gh it quarter Lord ship con sidered correct. on the page o f an tha n w as We have the aut h ority of heretoforehis lower for the a ssertion that upo n the construction that the name should immediately follow "hundreds of wills have the disposition been held invalid, and misery and wretchedness have found their way to hearths where wealth, and Peace, and comfort, ought to have had their habitati on ? , The principle appears indisputable that " a will should be considered valid and sacre d where the form only is impeached, and the substance is not objected t 0 .,, We trust, then, that the most inveterate advocate for an early dissolution will acknowledge the propriety of the most speedy remedy practicable, and give every possible facility to the passing of the measure of the Bill during the present session. The other points relate merely to the attestation, and although there are not by any means so many cases of invalidated wills in consequence of the existing rules as of that relating to the signature, they are no less objectionable in point of principle, and equally require amendment. For instance, the signature mast be made or acknowledged in the pre. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY. Notwithstanding that the supply of English Wheat on sale in to-day's market was very limited, the demand for all descriptions, owing to the thin attendance of buyers, was in a depressed state, at about Monday's prices. Nearly the whole of the country markets held yesterday were lower, for both Wheat and Barley. The show of Foreign Wheat was again moderate; neverthe less, the amount of business doing in that article was trifling, at barely late currencies. Floating cargoes were in fair request chiefly for Rolland. Fine Malting Barley realised full quotations; but grinding and distilling sorts, including Malt, commanded very little attention. We were scantily suppliEd with Oats, for which the inquiry was tolerably firm, at full prices. Beans, Peas, and Indian-corn were dull, and almost nominal. Flour moved off heavily, yet, as an advance of three francs per sack has taken place in the quotations in Paris, holders refused to submit to lower prices.; English •• • • • • Irish ........

The business has been limited for the most part to Upper Gulph and low quality, fine and good fruit being scarce, or, if offered for sale, not finding an adequate price. " Notwithstanding the late extensive shipments of old fruit from this part to the ccntinent, and the fact of several direct cargoes of Island Fruit being on the way thither, there is still a good inquiry from Hol land, where several cargoes of Island and good Patras were purchased last week, not so much for immediate resale and consumption as for investment by capitalists, whose attention has been called to the extraordinary low price of the articles. The decline in Currants in this market since the commencement of the present season has been about 20 to 25 per cent. on the long price, but as our Customs' duty now constitutes one half or more of that price, this decline is equivalent to 50 per cent., and in some instances 60 per cetit., upon the original cost price in Greece." Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's Circular, dated New Orleans, February 28, and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, gives the following particulars re lative to the state of the Cotton Market:—" Our last Circular,dated 14th inst., advised great briskness in our Cotton Market; the transactions have since been quite extensive, amounting to 93,300 bales during the past fortnight. Prices have fluctuated slightly, and are now about the same. Our last accounts from Liverpool (11th inst,) announce a small decline in that market, bat as its cause is ascribed to large arrivals, without any discouraging feature in trade, this news has scarcely produced any effect here; we may from time to time yet have irregularities in our rates, but we persist in our opinion that no permanent, material decline can be looked for while the present general demand continues to prevail, and freights and exchange remain favourable, as at this present moment, combined with the light stock for sale. Our receipts during the last two weeks sum up 95,639 bales. We quote ordinary to good ordinary, 61 to 7; low middling, if to 71; middling, 7i to 74; good middling, 7i to 8; middling fair, 6f to 8i; lair, 8; to 9. Sales during the two weeks, 93,300 bales.

Increase of total exports to France, 26,146 bales; and to other foreign ports 2,673 against last year." The public sales of Colonial Produce have been of very limited extent to-day, and scarcely any auctions are announced fur to-morrow.

Fully previous quotations were obtained yesterday afternoon for Bills of Exchange on the principal conti nental cities. Paris, 90 days, was taken at 25 50 to 55; Amsterdam, at 12 01 to 12 lf ; Hamburgh, at 13 10; to 111; and Trieste, at 12 40 to 45.

The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 22d inst. was feeble for Dutch Stock, bat business was tolerably animated in the Two-and-a Half per Cents. at 60 1-16 to t. The English Stock Market has been very firm, and the highest prices of yesterday are readily obtained. Consols have been 981 g for Transfer, and are 98 I for Account. Exchequer-bills have risen to 675. and 70s. and India Bonds to 75a. premium. When Consuls get over 99, they will as suredly further rise to par, it is considered, but there is usually a check when the price gets to an even figure, and parties realise. It is not expected that the Bank of England can delay beyond the period of the April dividends, a reduction of the rate of diecount. Foreign Securities have been very well sup ported.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY -- William Henry Boreham was placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with being drunk and making a disturbance at Sadler's Wells Theatre, and also with assaulting the constable. Mr. Reynolds, the constable at the theatre, stated that last night the prisoner, in company with some others, went to the boxes of the theatre, and being drunk, shortly after their entrance, began to make a disturbance. Upon being remonstrated with the prisoner refused to desist, and he thereforo proceeded to eject him, when the prisoner became very violent, and struck at him several times. In the course of the struggle the prisoner tore the prosecutor's coat across the arm, and inflicted other injuries. There were several other persons present who witnessed the assault, snd who also complained of the prisoner's conduct. Had it not been that there was a benefit at the theatre, the prisoner and his party would not have been admitted. Other evidence having been given, The prisoner, iu defence, said he was very sorry, and that nothing of the kind should occur again. Mr. CORRIE said be must protect the officers of this well-conducted theatre, and fined the defendant the amount of the damage done to the officer's coat, and also fire shillings for being drunk. ORCESTER CATHEDRAL.—The numr spires which once gave a p ecu li ar c h arac t er to o e ur C g ath l e i d tt r le al have now all been taken down except one, and that is also to be removed shortly: They had become so dilapidated as to rock to and fro, and threaten imimnent danger to the struc ture beneath.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 24, 1852. NEW MEMBER. Viscount NEWPORT took the oaths and his seat, on his re-election for South Shropshire. RAMSGATE ROYAL HARBOUR BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. WA WN inquired of the Member for the city of London (Mr. Masterman) whether it was intended by the Bill to carry out the recommendations of the Com mittee which had been appointed to consider the subject? Mr. MASTERMAN was understood to say that the object of the Bill was to reduce the tolls now charged at Ramsgate for vessels engaged in the coasting trade. Mr. STAFFORD said, since the new Admiralty Board had come into office they had earnestly directed their attention to the subject, and they were of opinion that as neither the promoters nor the opponents of it had sought interviews with the Board of Trade, nor laid plans before them, any further proceeding at present with the Bill would be premature. They thought the question was not so much one for the Admiralty is for the Board of Trade, as it affected the mercantile and not the royal navy. He hoped the Hon. Member would not object to the postponement of the Bill. Sir F. BARING said he was bound in justice to the promoters to explain that they were not open to the accusation of the Hon. Member. They applied to the Board of Trade in the first instance, but they were told that the subject was one for the consideration of the Ad miralty—a view in which the Admiralty coincided. The Bill was of very great importance, because it enabled the trustees of the harbour to remove the grievances which now pressed on the shipping trade, and could not be removed except by means of an Act of Parliament. It was at the suggestion of the late Government that the promoters had introduced the Bill. Mr. STAFFORD said he wished to cast no impute- tion upon the late Government. Owing to the short period he had been in office he had not had time suffi ciently to consider the Bill. Mr. DUNCAN hoped the shipping interest would be relieved from the present oppressive tolls. Mr. WAWN thought the late Board of Admiralty were liable to great complaint for their conduct in regard to the measure. Mr. MASTERMAN said be could not consistently force the second reading on the present occasion after the statement of the Secretary to the Admiralty. He would postpone the second reading until this day for night. PETITIONS. Sir E. FILMER presented a petition from the metro polis against the post horse duty; also petitions from West Kent against the hop duty and the Maynooth grant. Mr. DUNCAN presented a petition from Dundee against the Maynooth grant. Mr. J. H. HAMILTON presented a petition from St. Albans against the coal duty imposed by the Corpora tion of Loudon. _ _ Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented a petition from Mr. Rigby Wason, complaining that grants of land in the New Foreet had been given to certain noblemen and gentlemen. Mr. SPOONER presented petitions from places in W arwickshite and Lincolnshire, and also from Kingston upon-Thames and the metropolis against the Maynooth grant. Mr. H. WILLYAMS presented a petition from Truro against the war in South Africa. Mr. GEORGE DUNCAN presented a petition from the Presbytery of the Free Church at Dundee, against the Maynooth grant. Mr. FARNHAM presented a petition from the post masters of Loughborough, praying the immediate repeal of the post-horse auties. PROTECTION FROM DANGEROUS ANIMALS _ _ BILL. Mr. FREWEN, in moving the second reading of this Bill, said its object was to extend the power now exist ing in the metropolitan police dist: iets for the destruc tion of dangerous animals, to the rural districts of the country. His constituents were much annoyed, and put to great inconvenience iu consequence of the law not giving them any protection against the attacks or mad dogs and infuriated bulls. These grivances, however, were not confined to Sussex, but were felt throughout the .country; he theretore hoped there would be no objection to the short measure he now proposed to remedy the nuisance. Sir F. TBESIGEB said he had not been aware until that moment of the public being so entirely unprotected against the attacks of dangerous animals; but he doubted whether the propositions of the Hon. Member were the most satisfactory for attaining the object he had in view. He proposed to give to other persons than the owner the right of disposing of an animal of this description. Two credible witnesses were in the first instance to go to a magistrate and de pose they had seen a mad do g , but, while on this mis sion, it might in the meantime be ranging about the parish at large, biting other animals, and perhaps many people. lie was then to give them a written mandate, which they were to deliver to the constable of the parish, who thereupon would go in search of the dog, and if he succeeded in slaying it he was to get a reward of .2s. 6d., a kind of head money to stimulate him in his exertions. Then it was required that in certain cases all the dogs in a parish should be muzzled, Gut it was a great hardship to deprive innocent and well-behaved dogs of the pro tection which nature afforded them to protect themselves against the attacks of mad dogs or other dangerous animals. The Hon. Member's Bill brought to his mind the story of the quaker, who, in riding through a village, was met by a whelping cur, to whom he said, " I cannot kill thee, but I will give thee a bad name," whereupon he raised the cry of mad dog, and the villagers being alarmed came out and knocked the dog upon the head.--A laugh.) He did not think this was a subject in which there was the least necessity for legislation. The Learned Gentleman then alluded to the other pro visions of the Bill, and concluded by moving that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. SPOONER said the Learned Gentleman had amused the House by his entertaining speech, but he had tailed to point out any fault in the Bilt which might not be amended in Committee. The employment of dogs in carts was a dangerous and increasing evil in the country, and if not prohibited, ought to be paced under some better control. Mr. EWAR r opposed the Bill, considering that it would not accomplish the object of the Hon. Member, and would act very unjustly in its operation. Mr. DEEDES said great doubt existed whether there was any law which authorised magistrates to order the destruction of unmuzzled dugs in hot weather, but for his part he thought the magistracy ought to possess such a power, and he hoped it would be formally sanc tioned by the Legislature. He did not wish to abolish dog-carts in the country, but they ought to be placed under the control of the police, for many of the carts contained false bottoms, and they were frequently used for feloitious purposes.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. J. ELLIS thought it was high time that dog carts were put a stop to. They were not permitted within the borough of Leicester, and he believed there was not an inhabitant of that borough who was not thankful that such a bye law existed iu their town. Mr. WODEUOUSE supported the Bill. Colonel THOMPSON was apprehensive that this Bill would endanger public liberty in reference to dog-carts. the dog cart interest was not represented in that House, and he was informed it wculd be LaurificA.—(A laugh.) They heard a good deal of the danger to life from the use of dog carts, but there is just as much danger resulting from the use of high spirited horses.—(Hear, hear.) There was an impression abroad that dogs were intended for uses of burden and drawing, but an anecdote which castle under his notice in the colonies, would illustrate r the fallacy of the objection. A Governor of a colony wished to impress his subjects with the belief that bul locks could be rendered serviceable at the plough, and he made use of some on his own grounds.AlasB A Maroon captain then came to him, and said, " to .a, God-amighty never intended the bulllied, the work of a 'oss," but the Governor lip will "Captain Palmer, let us see if a duu on it do the work of a horse, and if he depenhearp, and he was intended for the purpoEe."— been fairly heard in the House.—( Ilear bat some regula tion Sir W.

The poet said conscience made cowards of us all, and as the promoters of this Bill had been guilty of corrupt practices, their consciences had frightened them into this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He did not wish to bribe any man, but whenever he had the opportunity he would treat his friends and assist his poor supporters, as he believed it was his duty to do it. Why should a Bill be passed to prohibit him from dis tributing his bounties to those who deserved and re quired it? Why, if this Bill passed it would be dan gerous for him to offer any ti his supporters a pi nc h o f tt iiT as for relievin g th e di stress o f any o f might meet with in th e course o f any themA l a uwghhi)e m his visite, it would be quite out of the ques tion.—(Hear, hear.)

The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday next. COMMON LAW FEES REGULATION BILL. On the motion for th , committal of this Bill, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it would be his duty to oppose some of the clauses in the Bill, and ho suggested therefore that the Committee should be post poned.
