D ur ing the present session, as duns so many of its predecessors, w . e have heard vast deal about - the necessity for s "e' e i mmediate and compre hensive changes of this description. Nay, th ere are even meat res affecti ng t h e me. now two very important tropolis promised to the est citizens of London an d w Government—one f or the minster by h er MAJESTY'S Letter supply o f wa t er , an d 0n0,fjc , 27 for the bett er prevention of intramural • terelents. The latter Bill refe rr i ng to a ma tt e r which involv es what its origi na t or has happily tr•rmed "the first sanitiry requirement and the greatest gnmt-rY Prin. ciole"—has already been formally introduced, indeed, the notice of the House of Commons by the home Secretary and - by the - Chief Commissioner of Woods and Foresls, being int en d e d as a correc ti v e to the inadequate and wholly abortive enactment passed during the existence of the late Administration. Meanwhile the same subject, has been ag it a t e d else where. An acknowledgment of the imperative necessity of some speedy interposition on the part of Yee Legislature was elicited some time back from .the PRIME MINISTEE, it may be remem bereil, by a remarkable speech delivered in the House of Lords by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. Again, last evening, the Noble Earl—distinguished as one of the mast active, as he is also one of the most practical atnoug.tthe philanthropists of the age—spoke in allusion tnthe..really and literally vital question of extramural .sepulture. By his 'obse * rvations, however, upon that oce.ision, we wilt at ooae confess, that we were moat peinfully astounded. It would seem as if Lord SHAFTESBURY were so enamoured of the do-nothing course.of the Board of Health that he is jealous of witnessing any inter,ference of men who might hem.- Et the community by diwns,..ing an enterprise de• cidedly antagonistic to their indolence. The matter before the House was the second reading of the Lon don Necropolis and National M anaoleurn Bill —a Bill which, we rejoice to think, y(sterday passed this stage of its progress through Parliament, in spite of the opposition of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. The Noble Lard avowed candidly enough at the outset of his remarks that he had a variety of objections to the proposed enactment, anti among those was conapi, 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 , necting 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 tional Necropolis. Why, morefrtmhanthbehodalifes majority a n b ho the u o r f would be occupied in carryin e g o dead ordinary modes of conveya nce dwellings to any one of the horrid i n t ramura l graveyards, and certainly more than half an hour from most points to the nearest of the ex i s ti ng suburban cemeteries ! Yet, with the projected mausoleum, within a journey of thirty minutes from the Strand, Lord SHAFTES- B ußy could talk last night of its " great distance " from the metropolis ! The statementlwas unfair and the objection ungenerous, 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 SHAFTESBURY. In reference to the Government Amendment Bill relating to Intramural Interments, an important let ter has recently been addressed to Lord Join/ 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 sani 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 ihteresting, 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 dresmod by the present. Cabinet that the propnsed m. re 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, "-weighs 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 or4the 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 confii matory 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 against 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 commu nity from the practice are fully proved." 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 be absolutely prohibited, after a certain date, within the limits of such towns or places, except in the case of family vaults already existing, the same par taking of the nature of private property, and being of limited extent." Sucb, 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 says " when a system, which I have long since fully exposed and denounced, cannot, 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 mises 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 Joliet 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 Member for Cockermouth 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 cumstances, and extent of the evils, were thus made manifest, and in many instances remedies were provided which would never have been heard 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 majority of 4 5 , in a House o f 267 Members, his motion for a Select Committee to inquire into the circumstances connected with the institution of the Rev. Mr. BENNETT 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 facts. 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 as to lead to great public excitement and frequent remon strances on the part of his diocesan—that on his de cisive refusal to change these objectionable practices, the Right Rev. Prelate accepted the resignation which had been tendered, feeling, to use his own wordo, that "the peace and good order of the Church in his diocese would be seriously interrupted if Mr. BENNETT were to remain the incumbent of that bene tle." These points, which were matters of public notoriety, and which were brought distinctly under stGhe Gentleman n t e n t dl: notice n i cae of the Bish o p o f B ATH an d W ELLS, not only a 4 -Y the e nerge ti c remonstrance t h at was pre against the nomination of the R everen d to the vicarage of Frome, but also by a letter from t he Bishop of LONDON, should have insured full an i nquiry before the institution an d induc tion into important and populous benefice of a gentleman who, Whatever might be the amiability of his private character, could n o t h ave con ti nue d i n h i s former cure Without ser i ously interrupting the any such of the peace and good order such g C l i s t t l ibl r ace haveo i c n the rbree edn d ii in c t e i I s c e in which it was situte. °f l: c h z e : ascer tainedd i o n P t i e n r i v `) a il l 7 b .lai e ne t td vv h - c e dr e o n ca:r the month s of DecembereGentlemanv. 1850 i in a t n h d e January, 1852, as s to il removeminist theminister cf objections th e Ch urc h o f that had been entertained as to his being entrusted with a cure of souls as England at the former period. gad that inquiry taken place, it would have been ascer tained that, so objections had b they een materiall y being removed,increased by the subsequent, proceedings of the Reverend Gen tleman--that while at Kisiengen be had not only pointedly abstained from attending the services of th e Church of England, but was a regular attenda n t a t those of the Church of Rome, so as to give ample foundation for the report strengthened and confin n o by the statement in the " Catholic Directory," that he had actually gone over to the Roman Catholic re ligion. In place, however, of the inquiry so urgently required under the peculiar circumstances, there was THE SUN, a degree 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 Ms guardian during his supposed incapacity—although the various difficulties were distinctly put forward on the part of the dis sentient parishioners, and it was known that legal measures would have been adopted t o 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 ithat the curt reply of the Bishop to the memorial of the parishioners was obtained. The opinion of an emi nent 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 most 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 bee 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 ExcnE QUER, 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. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Minister of Police has sent a first warning to the Constitutionnel for having persisted, notwithstanding the communique of the IWoniteur, in declaring, untruth fully, that GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC was authorised by the PRESIDENT. M. VERuN declares that MOCQUARD, the PRESIDENT'S Secretary, sent for a hundred copies of the first article on Belgium. He will, however, in obedience to the warning he has received, in future ex • elude CAssacrac's articles from the Constitutionnel. The Chateau of Ea 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 Consiitutionnel, 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 bo the chastisement of the man and the instruction of many others." note : The Moniteur Belge 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 Minister of Foreign Affairs 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 Canstitutionnel. 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 tho Lot-et-Garonne, have been set at liberty. The PRINCE PRESIDENT paid a visit SOllle 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 Ear- PEROIZ at St. Helena; and on the other, Lours PHILIPPE receiving the same remains at Paris. On a preceding visit, Lours 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. Tho Plums then ex pressed his desire for their removal. He 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 Sunday, in the marksr, of the Vallee. The Mayor of the arrondissement made on the occasion a speech, which was followed by shouts of " Vive LOUIS NAPO LEON!" In the evening there was a ball in the market for the benefit of the poor. A letter from Strasburgh states that the distribution of the eagles has tsken place Were amidst an immense c:ucourse of spectators. Loud cries of " Vire NAPO LEON" were raised, and the whole ceremony passed off with the most perfect order. M. BERRYER has returned to Paris from his excur sion in Germany, Holland and Belgium. The Funds continued' to maintain themselves on the Bourse. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 100 f. 35c., rose to 100 E 45c., and closed at 100 f. 25c. for the end of the month ; the Three per Cents. closed at 70f. 25e. ; Or leans Railroad Shares, 1,220 E; Rouen, 805 f.; tlavre, 315 f. • Great Northe rn , 608 E 75c.; Avignon, 345 f. ; Vierzon, 607 f. 50c; Basle, 260 f.; Bordeaux. 628 f. 75c.

Tho Cabinet Council assembled at Berlin on the sth, under the Presidency of the KING, to deliberate on the peerage question, but it came to no result. A new de liberation was to take plane on the following day. The Moniteur of Wurtemburg contains an ordnance convoking the States for the 15:h. Toe Nero Prussian Gazette of Berlin of the sth says— " We know positively that the protocol of London, con taining, Ist, the formal recognition of the sovereignty of the King of PRUSSIA over the canton of Neufchatel ; 2d, 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 parties to re-esta blish the authority of his MAJESTY by means of nego :Etion. Nei:her of the powers Las made any reser vation." LINCOLNSHIRE AND NORFOLK EAILWAY. -- A meeting was held at Long Sutton, on Friday last, for the purpose of hearing the suggestions and opinions of landowners and others interested 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 Ilolbeach and Sutton Bridge to Lynn, with a branch to Wisbeach, and one to Algarkirk on the Great Northern Railway. The engineer, Mr. H. H. 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. l'eele, Swain, Ayliff, Allenby, Hobson, Anderson, Marshall, T. W. Clarke, Edward Skelton, Wroot, Savage, Parsons, E. Clarke, Cole, &c., &c. Mr. A. Howard, Mr. Prest, Mr. S. Skelton and others joined in the discussion, and the general impression appears to be that the landowners would be ex tremely favourable 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 l‘lr. Gooch, the superintendent, has a contract for five years, and is said to have 10 per cent. on alI reductions after the first 10,C001. 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 ls. 7d.—a pretty high figure. The men, too, are interested in the savings by themselves becoming petty contraetors...—iferapath's Journals LONDON, WPDNESiD A -Y EVENING, JUNE 9, 1852 THE SHARE. M4AKETS. 13RITISII RAXLVZ.&YS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for ex port, and 2,500 on speculation. The market was steady at full prices. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 200 Per nam and Maranham at 6%d. to 7d.,_ 100 Egyptian at 6%d. 9d., and 300 Surat at 4d. to 4%d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done at rather higher rates. 'the interests of the V enezue l a bondholders are not likely to suffer permanently while they have such an indefatigable agent at La Guayra as Mr. Lord. That gentleman,in hisletter to the Finance Minister of the Republic protesting against the delay in making remittances; points out the law bear ing en the case, and states:— "Art. 188 of the constitution guaranteeing civil liberty, individual security, property and equality before the law, to all Venezuelans, does this not equally apply to all foreigners according to Art. 218 of the same constitution? " Art. 211 of that fundamental code, does it not declare that Venezuela, notwithstanding its political change, under goes no alteration in her 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 ao 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, th er e ought to have been remitted t o London nearly th e whole of those 500,000 dollars from the ways and means, the Extraordinary. Contribution having produced enough for the object to which it was to b e applied. There has, however, only been sent, in August, 1851 , 7,000/. ; in February, 1852, 4,7821.; making together 11,7821., of 422 000 or 78,000 dollars, which leaves a balance dollars. " I do not mention the 12,5001. remitted in ' Jul budget for 185031850' be cause they formed part of the to 1851, in order to cover the six months' 1 7,236/. 18s. which must be added to that of 1851 to 1852. Your Ex• cellency is aware that interest due on the Ist October last, i requires a i n t da 10d., in addition to those 1e,5 A 00 ; 10d. for the dividend due last April. Thegraelat , h 2 a 9 v , i 7 n 3 g 6l t . o lB b s e . let the decision applied to the arrears of interest, respecting the agreement of whatever the o l r a 2 a t i h o S f e t p n t eember funds beon of Congress may. By the unlawfulassigned by foreign creditors— funds of the Venezuelan laws to the funds which were tonheraevbeb e en their ex c l usive property— they Republic has t incurred an additi onal obligation pro for compensation of losses to the bondholders. The test is, on that account, the more just Which I made in their name . by my previous letter, and which, I herewith repeat, and necessary, to secure the rights of the British creditors, whom I represent. "I have been informed that your Excellency, being con vinced ,of the trtith o my agept iny our capital, that, by the nextpafocrketth,eetfwtoivl the 10th of d this smonthou withene due an n official sh ould be w h o le amount requires for my own inf ormat i on be remitted, and that y ou would favour me notice of all the particulars thereof and that of the cre ditors. "I t r ust your Excellency will not deviate from this re solution in honour of Venezuela, and for the sake of justice, as also for the better observance of the laws, over which the executive power of the Republic ha s t o watch ; and also that, in due time, you will favour me w ith an acknow ledgment of this letter, and of the preceding one, for my own guidance." Perhaps the most consolatory circumstance for the bond holders is that theenergy of their agent is likely to bear good fruit, for the Minister in his reply admits the force of what is stated by Mr. Lord, and promises to use every exertion to remit steadily by each mail. The following is from Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's , Circular, dated New Orleans, May 15, and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool " Our review of the Ist inst. left the Cotton market very firm, with an upward tendency of prices. The accounts per Pacific and Europa, which came to hand during the succeed ing week, increased and stimulated the already active de mand, and factors were enabled to realise higher rates. The sales of that week amounted ta 37,750 bales, of which 16,000 bales were sold in one day. The heavy business at the close of last week having reduced the stock for sale, this week opened more quietly, factors asking, however, very full rates, and showing much firmness. A material decline in freights has caused many buyers to submit to the high pre tensions of holders, and middling has been paid as high as 9c. The accounts per Canada of lst May, from Liverpool, do not appear to have realised the expectations of buyers, and the orders from Europe being limited so much below our present range of prices, the market closes flat and inactive— hits that had been bought previously on speculation are offered at easier prices, but factors are unwilling to part with their small stocks at a decline. Sales of the week are 21,500 bales. The better grades con ti nue very scarce, and as for the North and Spain a considerable quantity is to be bought yet, there is every probability that very little of such will go for ward to Liverpool henceforth. The receipts are materially falling off, and the stocks in the interior are said to be very small. Of the new crop we have nothing cf interest to say. Ordinary to good ordinary, 714 to 73.4 ; low middling, 8 to 8%; middling, 8 1 % to 8%; good middling, 9 to 9 1 4 ; mid dling fair, 9% to 9 3 / 4 ; fair, 10. Sales during the two weeks 59,25) bales. Receipts at this port 1,318,285 bales, against 908,206 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all ports 645,329 bales. Increase of total exports to Great Britain 276,578 bales. Increase of total exports to France 95,835 bales, and to other foreign porta 74,945 against last year." 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 ; Hamburgh at 13 10 3 / 4 to 11 1 4 ; 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 in ves t ment. Consols have been 100% 7 /g for Transfer, and 1003 1 to 101 for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter p er C ents. have been 102% to 5 ( at 3, and the Three pe r C ents. at 99 3 / 4 to par.

The contractors, no doubt, will use every exertion to get up the price, and this, if report speaks truly, will pave the way to another loan in the course of a year. Railway Shares are on the rise, and there is more doing. The French lines are livelier. Gold Mine Shares are dull. QUARTER TO THREE. Consols ... Ditto Account.

CORN-EX CHANGE -WEDNESDAY The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise and by land carriage, was li mited; nevertheless, it was fully equal to the demand. 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 had 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 ho further decline took place in the quotations. Both Beans and Peas were quite as dear, but Inaba Corn and Flour met a very slow inquiry. tKRIVALS THIS WEEK Barley. Qrs. Qrs. I Qrs, English •• • • 2,620 I 40 2,670 Wheat. Milt. Oats. Flour Qrs.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The Canada's advices of the 26th ult. from New York, app r i se us of a further rise of 1 4 to 1 4 c. per lb. in the p r i ce o f cotton at all the ports of the Union, although the total receipts were 2,820,205 bales against 2,169,342 last year, while the accounts of the grow ing crop continued highly 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 a t least abide firmly by th e i r quotations, and to the extent of the business effected, those quotations are realised, This is practically a gain of about i fs d. 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 1.6 d. 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 of goods; there is a similar dis position amongst producers to raise their terms, though not in an equal degree, nor so generally in the various descrip tions, as in yarns. Th e most backward makes are domes tics.,,`! cloths, and the lower qualities of printers. ROCHDALE, MONDA Y . —W e have had a steady demand for pieces to-day, at form er pr i ces. There have been a few London 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, TUEstur.—Tho position of this market, as regards demand for silk manu f acturedgoods. is now apparently less active than w e h ave 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 aro variously stated from 1,500/. to 5,000/. 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, is far from active; and the quantities changing hands are but small. The staplers are i n a diffi cu l t position ; for the prices asked by the growers are higher than are at all likely to be realised hero, even though the quotations for yarn should undergo considerable i m p rovement. Short wool i s considerably dearer. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY,•OIIF market continues dull, buyers are scarce, and not much has been done in the hall. A few parcels of clouded doeskins and mixtures have gone off for the home trade. The merchants and shippers gene rally complain of the slackness of the market. _FINSBURY ELECTION. A meeting of the electors of Finsbury was held last night at the Drapers' Arms Inn, Islington, at which the following letter was read frum•Mr. Wakley :-- " TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF FINSBURY. " 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 again prevented from attending in my place in Parliament. Raving 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 least for a year from the midnight laboursau of the llouse of Commons. The pro priety, and eve necessity, of my acting in conformity 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 election. " While relinquishing the important distinction of repre senting you 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.

WATERFORD POLITICS. A correspondent in Waterford writes to say that a curious combination has been formed for putting into Parliament Sir H. W.

EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR REVENUE6t &c. BILL. The Marcinis of BLANDFORD moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. WALPOLE considered the state of the session would not admit of their going into a discussion upon measure of this extensive nature, even if there was nothing in the provisions calling for particular ob" jection. Since the Bill had been introduced he bad con' stilted the highest authorities in the Church, as well . 1 . 45 , others who t oo k an i nterest i n the subject, and he ie"' now prepared to say the Government would u ndertake the consideratio n o f t h e state of the cathedral bodies and institutions, so as to place them generally on a more satisfactory satisfactory footi ng , an d to ma k e them more pract i ca useful than th e y were at present in regard to spirituel instructio n an d e d ucat i on. Under those circumstanc e" , he hoped the Noble Lord would consent to the order fo r the second reading, being now read and discharged. The Marquis of BLANDFORD said he bad es' petted that the Government would have made some de' claration with regard to the Bill. Mr. WALPOLE did not think the House ought t° pledge the Government to any details.—(Hear.) Mr. SLANEY heard the statement of the Secretary for the Home Department with great satisfaction, B II A he trusted th e N o b le Lord would accept his offer 80 " withdraw the Bill. After a few words from Sir B. BRYDGES, Mr. WALPOLE pointed out the four heads of t" Bill, and said it was the wish of the Government to r e ; lisve as much as p oss ibl e those who held high offi c '" in the Chur c h f rom a ll duties of a worldly and tel; poral nature.—(H ear , h ear. ) The spirit in 101° the Government proposed to proceed was to eider whether these great cathedral establishrool, might not be more f u lly res t ored to the high and bola purposes for which they were originally founded 813 endowed, viz., a s t em pl es f or t h e daily worship of t 0 . et Almighty Being, as seats of learning, as councils to asst d the bishops in several matters relating to their dioceses , e n as connecting link s b e t ween t h e hi g h er and lower order of b the clergy, so a s t o b r i ng t h e whole body of the Chu rch in perfect harm on y.—(Ch eer:. ) That being the gen era l view of th e G overnment, h o thought it would be Prenl Lure for the House to prejudge the queseinn by bins: ll9 g . them to any particular details.—(Hear.) Lord EBRINGTON was glad to hear that the trii vernment intended to tak e th e w h o l 3 su bj ect o f t he 9' into their serious consideration. Sir H. H. IN GLI6 th an k e d t h e S ecretary for t h e ifto e Department for the general view he had given of the : 0 , editions of the Go vernment , an d concurred in the sirableness of not conti nu i ng th e present discussion O,e that there was a gen era l op i n i on i n the House that th e Bill ought not to he pressed. • Lord Y. GROSVENOR also expressed his gratifie f tion at hearing th e d ec l arat i on o f the Right H on . Gem tleman. Mr. J.

In the City, the feeling in favour of a change in the representation, is every day becoming more and more decided and general.
