Morning .. 19 minutes after 11. i Evening 56 minutes after 11 V Mtn .--,---=tillit, LONDON, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 7, 1846 The LORD CHANCELLO R took his seat OD the Wool• sack at Fire o'clock. Lord BEAUMONT asked a question with respect to the detention of a gentleman named Graham by the Sar dinian Government, notwithstanding hi s passport s were regular. The Earl of ABERDEEN explained that the detention had taken place in consequence of a mistake, and that he thought there was no necessity for his demanding any pecuniary indemnity. Lord BEAUMONT asked if any apology had been made by the Sardinian Government? The Earl of ABERDEEN believed that there had been none, and, judging from the style of Mr. GRAHAM'S ommunioation, he thought it was unlikely the Sardinian Government would be inclined to make an apology, which, under other circumstances, they might have done. The Een.t. of DAL1101;IIIE then rose to draw the atten tion of their Lordships to the railway resolutions which he bad laid on the table last night. The Committee of the other House had recommended that during this session a certain portion of rail way Bills should be initiated in their Lordships House. It was proposed, in accordance with this re commendation, that all Irish railway Bills for the pre sent hession should he originated in their Lord ships' H ouse . Th e N o bl e E ar l th e n went into a to the history of th e s t an di ng or d ers o f b ot h H ouse s in relation per centa ge requ i re d to b e pa id up on the de posits, before the Bill could be entertained. The House of Lords required a payment of t e n p e r con t.—the House of C ommons a paymentthe of five per cent. Now, in order to facilitatetran f saction of business, the Committee recommended th at cent. the Bill might be admitted a payment of five p ar reojrariuded the d e p os it r y a , but ing that until had been made on the 6th o f I they should not be admitted to a third reading paid; this wou l d an additional five per cent. should be • ". „-,.... . ~....„. .

This propo sition gave no encouragement to railway projects, nor did it remove any obstacles which had been interposed by the measures of last sessicn With regard to measures which had passed last session in the Commons, and which had been dropped in the House of Lords, it was proposed that they should pass the Commons pro former, and come before the Lords immediately, and that competing projects should be per mitted to originate in the Lords. The Noble Lord concluded by moving a resolution founded on the report of the Committee. _ . V. Lord MONTEAGLB considered that the proposed altera tion would have the effect of greatly benefiting the Irish labourer, by bringing the railway works in that country into earlier operation. He would suggest the propriety of permitting the promoters of rail way Bills to prove their compliance with the standing orders simultaneously before both Houses —a better course still would be, by bringing them before some tribunal before the meeting of Parliament, the report of such tribunal to be laid before both Houses on the meeting of Parliament. He also thought that the promoters of railway projects should be permitted to make the deposits in public securities as well as in money. The Earl of STRADBROXIS urged the necessity of giving precedence to Bills connected with the south of Ire,land, as the distress there was most i mm i nent . The resolutions were then put and agreed to. Lord DENMAN brought in a Bill to give the courts ol law power to mitigate p ena lti es i n cr i m i na l cases . _ _ Lord BEAUMONT gave notice, that some day next week he would move for a Select Committee to consider the peculiar burdens affecting landed property. Lord CAMPBELL suggested that, as some railway Bills were to originate in the House of Lords, it might hi ex pedient that the Government should originate some of their own measures also in the House of Lords. The Duke of WELLINGTON would take care that the suggestion should be curled to the proper quarter. After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR, complimentary to Lord CAMPBELL on his recent pub lication, which proved that he knew how to employ his leisure with advantage to the public and an acknow ledgement of the compliment from Lord CAMPBELL, Their Lordships adjourned. The House met at Four o'clock. This was the last day for receiving petitions on private Bills, and in conse quence a vast number of petitions were presented for and against railway Bills. Sir Jonzi YARDE Burxzn brought up the report of the Belfast and, County Down Railway and Newry and Warrenpoint Railway Bills, reporting that the standing orders had been complied with, and leave was given to bring in both the Bills. A new writ for the eastern division of the county o f Suffolk was ordered in the room of Lord IlEraturnn, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET then proceeded to call the attention of the House to the first Report of the Select Committee on railway Bills. The Noble Lord believed that by originating Irish Bills in the House of Lords the best results would be effected. Mr. F. FRENCH did not believe there would be any advantage to Irish Bills by having them originated in the Lords; on the contrary, he thought it would con.; duce to the passing of Irish measures to originate the English ones in the other House. Mr. BERNAL believed that the proposition of originat ing some railway Bills in the House of Lords was good, but he thought in preferring Irish and Scotch Bills great injustice might be done to the English measures. He did not think that any party would consider the report of the Committee a great boon. It was a fallacy to suppose that such a proposition would supply the wants of the poor of Ireland. The first consideration for the Committee was to see if they could not adopt a less dilatory proceeding in Committees with respect to rail way Bills than at present existed. O'CoNon DON believed that the suggestion of the Committee to give precedence to Irish Bills would be productive of the best effects, as its adoption would give employment to the Irish labourers at their own doors, which they so much wanted. Mr. AGLIONBY thought the best course to be adopted would be to allow those Irish measures to commence in the House of Lords that would be benefited by so doing, but not to compel all Irish railway Bills to commence there, if with greater success they could be proceeded with in the House of Commons. Sir G. CLERK said the adoption of the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth would be attended with the greatest injustice to competing lines. After some observations from Mr. Ross, Mr. GREENE, Mr. W. Cola.rrr trusted that in bona fide measures some course would be adopted to facilitate their pro. seeding through the House. Mr. BECKETT DENISON thought that if Some of the suggestions of the report were to be adopted, the greatest injustice would be inflicted upon those measures that had undergone the ordeal of the House of Commons, and had been stopped in the House of Lords by the termination of the session. These observations were particularly applicable to the London and York Railway. Mr. WARD could not see the justice of the remark of the Hon. Member for Leeds. He thought the House of Lords ought to have the measure competing with the London and York before it ere it deeided in favour of any one of them. Lord G. SOMERSET was convinced the public would be benefited by the adoption of the report of the Com mittee. Sir 11. W. BARRON denied that employment would be given immediately to the people of Ireland by passing Irish railroads, because nothing could be effectually done before August next. After some further discussion, the report was agreed to. Mr. BUSFIELD brought in the Leeds and Bradford Railway Bills, which were read a first time. Mr. PniLr MILES gave notice that he should, on Monday, on the order of the day being read for the House going into Committee on the resolutions proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, on the subject of our commercial policy, move as an amendment that the House do resole itself into such Committee that day six months. Mr. LABOUCHERE reminded the First Lord of the Treasury of his promise to answer the question whether the Governments of Spain and Brazil had taken any steps of a retaliatory nature in consequence of the differential duties imposed on the sugars. Sir R. PEEL, said that in January, 1840, the Brazilian Government had imposed certain differential duties on the products of those nations which did Rot admit their sugars at the same duty as those of the most favoured nations, but as yet they had not acted on those powers. The House adjourned at Seven o'clock. Considering the importance of the measures proposed by Sir Roßeer ReeL in the new tariff, it is really sur prising to find such a small amount of opposition to any one of them throughout the country. They affect a great variety of classes, and in bygone days would have excited genet 4, • constt rim tion„ among tradesmen and manufac turers, es well as among the proprietors and occupiers of land; but, e l•li the exception of the party who have assumed the tide of " Protectionists" (though more properly designated " Menepolists"), and the Spital fields weavers, we hear of no opposition to the compre hensive scheme. On the contrary, it meets with a general approbation quite unprecedented on similar occasions. Take, for instance, the Catholic Relief Bill One half of the people were directly hostile to it and they were supported by nearly all the clergy of all denominations, either openly or covertly, by a great majority of the House of Peers, till necessity, which has no law, compelled them to yield, and by the most furious of all religioes and political factions—the whole Orange party in Ireland. The divisions in pub lic opinion were equally remarkable during the agitation of the Reform Bill. The Bishops and the clergy as a body resisted it to the last, and with an earnestness, perseverance, and even violence, which pourtrayed fears that referee would extend to tke Church, and finally bring down the whol e f a b r i c o f t h e Establishment. It is needless to advert to the feelings which prevailed in the Upper Rouse—the Peers again fought desperately and lung for their pocket boroughs, and the endless sources of corruption which the old Tory system placed at their command, and at last saved themselve s by throwing overb)ard most valuable property in order to save themselves from being swamped. But, besides these two bodies, there were very large numbers of the middle che.ses who had profited by wasteful expendi ture and the abuse of patronage ; many also who looked with anxiety on such a wholesale re-edification of the Constitution, and cried, " Let well alone?" These were joined by the timorous and listless part of the com munity, who disapproved of the excitement, forming al together a most powerful body arrayed against reform. At present the scene is as different as possible. The ad vocates of commercial reform and the repeal of the corn laws are more numerous, and as regards their influence in the Legislature infinitely more powerful than even that compact phalanx of freemen to the Court (always excepting the King), which triumphantly carried the great measurei opposition the clergy, and also to a v er y tenacious, vigorous, un scrupulous,in opposition p position to the Peers and namely,der of the Lain their livelihood by abuses and b y the p un and numerous Blass—those, who ob community. The clergy, on this occa sion, to their un speakable honour, and we firmly believe, also, consistently with their best interests, have stood entirely aloof from the agitation. Such conduct deserves every praise— i; exhibits a great moral principle, of high value in a body for whom popular respect is of so much importance, both in a personal and religious view ; and as they have as much interest in high prices as the landlords, it exhibits a noble contrast to the noisy and frantic exhibitions, and to the selfibh claims of rich Peers and commoners. who would rob the people that they may increase their wealth, and raise a dangerous commotion in the country for the most contemptible, sordid, and grovelling mo tives. But there is another point of view in the scene which gives additional weight to the Minister's plans, and opens up the brightest prospects. Several of the most respect able Members in the Commons belonging to the Conser vative party, and totally unconnected with the Government cordially approve of the measures, and in order to pre. serve a pure conscience and show their independence, have resigned, or offered to resign, their seats into the hands of their constituents. Among these we may men tion Lord ASHLEY, the Hon. W. H. DAWNAY, the lion. F. CHARTERIS, and Mr. H. C. STURT, independent of many others who do not consider electors entitled to such deference, and who will vote with the Minister. The resumption of office too by the whole of the PEEL Cabinet, except one member, is a significant omen. Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, in his excellent address to the electors of Buckingham, says :—" Sir R. PEEL (after the failure of Lord JOHN RUSSELL) felt it his duty to his Sovstunats to resume the functions of First Minister of the Crown ; all the members of his former Cabinet, with one exception, concurred in that decision, and have determined to support the measures which have bean an nounoed to the House of Commons for the Abolition of protecting duties on articles of foreign produce and manufacture." Need we refer as a further proof, and one which should make the House of Peers pause in its rancorous opposition to the Government— namely, to the unanimity which prevails on the question at meetings in Chambers of Commerce, and in almost every borough, town, and city, in Great Britain? The sentiments of our Gracious SOVEREIGN are well known. The presence of the Royal Consort in the House of Commons when the Minister disclosed his plans was significant ; and these symptoms ought not to be without their effect on the restive Peers, aho can ill afford to contend against both Crown and people. The best wish of their friends is, that they may adopt a prudent and a generous course. So conspicuous are the exigencies of the Irish people at this present moment, that Parliament for once is neither tardy in its expressions of sympathy, or in its endeavours to afford some substantial evidence of the existence of that sympathy. From the first Report of the Select Committee on Railways—which report was on Thursday laid before both Houses—this anxiety to meet the advances of destitution in that unfortunate country was most apparent. On various accounts the sugges tions embodied in that report are happily-timed and judicious. The Committee proposes that a portion of the railway Bills which have accumulated so wonder fully during the recess, be commenJed in the Upper House "for the purpose of facilitating the dispatch of railway business during this session." The advantages which must necessarily accrue from such an arrangement are too obvious to require any particular exposition. With reference to the second proposal, namely, that " this House will not insist on their privilege with regard to th• clauses fixing and regulating rates and tolls in such Bills," a political hyper-critic might pos sibly object that it was an unnecessary abandonment of privilege ; but, as the Commons would still retain in their possession the power of interference, No danger could mult from such a nominal concession. Besides, in junctures of such dire necessity as the present, when it is not only desirable, but absolutely incumbent upon the Legislature to make some immediate and de cisive movement, or hazard the existence of four mil- lions of the people, entrusted to their protection, it would be most baneful to daily over the advisability of a measure through trepidation at some imaginary evil of this nature. Granting, therefore, that the peculiar and complicated position in which the legislators are now placed would palliate an act of concession greater even than the one particularised, we turn with extreme gratification to the sentence which follows:—" The Select Committee considers that with a view of affording early and increased means of employment in Ireland, it is expedient to give facilities for the early consideration of Irish Railway Bills," and that with this intention such Bills " should, in the present session, commence in the House of Lords." Not only does this proposition originate in sentiments of large-hearted and open-handed condolence with the Irish multitude during the woes and the pangs of their present privations, but it arises also from a conviction that grants of 50,0001. for the advancement of public works, can never retard the dark and indomitable on-stridings of famine, how ever much such grants may appear to be munificent in the eyes of an over-economist. To say that such en enact ment alone would dispel the miseries which now encum ber Ireland would exceed the limits of accuracy, but to say that, as the section of an extensive plan for the ame lioration of such national destitution, the present is a wise and sagacious suggestion, would be an opinion in accordance with the rational judgment of every man of ordinary perception. By the speedy fulfilment of these intentions on the part of Government, the labourer whether in Meath, or in Drogeda, or in Kildare, would be enabled to obtain employment, and that likewise at an increased smount of wages, according to the competi tion for labourers, without interfering with the distri bution of the public works' loan, which might be appro priated merely to such districts as were labouring under any remarkable disadvantages. On Thursday, more over, Lord CLANCABTT brought this same question of Irish penury and Irish starvation before the Peers, im pressing most forcibly upon their Lordships the necessity for serve strenuous efforts in behalf of that afflicted people. Nor did the Noble Earl restrict his importuni ties for the attention of the House to a mere alimentary interposition ; he extended his demand for a Le gislative interference to an increase of facilities for obtaining medical relief. It is not our intention to enter at this moment upon the consideration of the character of Lord CLANCARTY'S proposed amend ments ; we merely make this allusion to the circumstances in corroboration of our remark, that Parliament is not indifferent to the demands for assistance in our sister island—demands which are each day becoming more and more importunate. In affording a greater facility for adequately satisfying these demands, we conceive that the Select Committee have performed their duty with promptitude and discrimination. By this first re port they have already considerably lessened the amount of their responsibility. Nor do we regard the arrange ment as at all likely to moderate the scrutiny with which railway matters should be conned; it will, on the con trary, by this just distribution of a labour so extremely onerous, enable the different Committees to investigate each Bill with increased caution and in creased minuteness, because with increased time 1 A more laudable or more propitious commencement to their com mercial campaign could scarcely have been made by a body so hazardously placed as was the Select Committee. They have indeed grasped the bull by the horns, and tethered him down beyond escape. Inasmuch as they have done this, the railway speculators, the Irish people, and the public at large, will, to a great measure, be satis fied ; their expectations will be partially fulfilled, and their various cravings will be appeased. The accounts from Madrid are to the 29th ult. The Chamber of Deputies had brought the discussion Oil the Address t• a close, and on that day it was read and approved, and a Commission appointed to lay it before the QUBIN. Copies of treaties, recently concluded with Chili, Portugal, and Morocco, were presented by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. lle declined to give any satisfactory explanation respecting them ; the Opposition contended that explanation was necessary, upon which a division took place, when Ministers had a majority of 90 against 40. The Chamber then adjourned till the 31st. The Funds are again lower, the Three per Cents, having closed on the 99th at 32k, and the Fives at 2n, both at sixty days. e T T e The r al sessions, Opposition in the exhibited Fs such c e h n c w h e Chamber akn es sas hasa tpresent. r o, e t s e for nt They have moved several amendments calculated to catch popularity and excite hostility to the Government, but in every instance they have completely failed and been defeated by large majorities. The last defeat— that on the right of search question—is the greatest of all. An amendment was moved by M. BILLIULT, con demning the late treaty between England and France for the suppression of the slave trade, and embodied in these words:—" That the wish of the Chamber would have been fulfilled, if, whilst protecting the rights of humanity, the convention had more surely placed out of the reach of attack the national flag." BILLAULT was supported by Durnt, LEYASSICUR, and even by THIERB though that consistent statesman and disinterested pa: triot declared last session that he considered the right of search necessary. BERILYER and several of the Legitimatist party approved of the amendment, but all would not do; they were shamefully beaten, the num bers, on a division, beng— For the amendment 144 Against it Majority for Ministers -73 The other intelligence in tho papers is of little in erest. A letter from Otaheite of the 10th Sept., in the National, states that "Admiral Manua and Admiral SRYMOUR having appointed commissioners to regulate the indemnity due to Mr. PRITCHARD, it has been de cided that the English Minister was entitled to a thou sand and odd piastres. Admiral SEYMOUR refused to abide by this decisioa, and the negotiations were broken off. The question is to be submitted to the Governments of England and France. Admiral SEYMOUR, adds the letter, consented to salute the flag of the Protectorate, but refused to salute that of France." We attach no credit to these statements. We subjoin some miscel laneous paragraphs. The committee charged to examine the Bill relating to internal navigation met on Tuesday. The Ministry de mands for the necessary works a sum of 63 millions, which, added to the expenses already incurred, raises the total amount to 288 millions, being upwards of 100 millions more than was calculated on in 1821. The commit tee, alarmed at this augmentation, has thought it right, whilst adhering to the Ministerial plan, to recommend the Government, and particularly the Ponts-et-Chaussees, to em ploy fur the future more foresight in their estimates, and more order in the employment of the funds. This is the purport of the report presented by the M arqu i s d e D a l mat i e in the name of the committee.

Salvaguoli, an eminent advocate of Florence, petitioned the Grand Duke for leave to reside within his dominions. The petition was referred to the Supreme Council, which at once decided against the extradition. But the Austrian Minister at the Grand Duchy and the Apostolical N unc i o h av i ng in sisted upon it, the question was ref erre d to the C ounc i l o f Ministers, the majority of whom were of opinion that the Government was bound by treaty to give up M. Renzi, and, consequently, he was delivered into the hands of the Papal authorities in the night of the 23d ult. The Swedish Government, in order to put a stop to the increasing progress of drunkenness in Norway, has appointed a missionary for each of the four provinces of that kingdom, to travel through them preaching forbearance from strong liquors, and promoting the establishment and extension of temperance societies.

FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, FEB. 3.—The average price of wheat in the week ending Saturday, Jan. 31, was 24f. 82c., and that of rye 19f. 43c. The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting to-day, adopted, by a majority of 40 to 13, the project of law for con tinuing in force the law relative to foreigners. It then voted for the continuance of the law granting bounties on the build ing of ships in Belgium. It was agreed to by a majority of 58 to 1. The Chamber received a petition from M. Deridder, the engineer, desiring permission to inspect all the documents relative to the sinking of the tunnel of Cumpitch, and asking a delay of a month to prepare his justification. The petition was referred, on the motion of the Minister of Public Works, to the Petition Committee, with a request :to make a speedy report. The enormous difference between the average price of wheat in France and Belgium (it exceeds 3 francs per het tolitre) can be accounted for only by the fears which hare long existed in our country, by the cries of distress which have been so long repeated. There is here a moral cause, of which we still feel the effects. The King transacted business to• day with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Several districts of Limburg, on the banks of the Meuse, have suffered severely by the inundations occa sioned by the extraordinary rise of that river. On the 27th and 28th of last month, the inundation had attained such a height, that the inhabitants of Heppenert and Aide neck were obliged to take refuge in the lofts of their houses, and to go in boats to Maeseyck to obtain provisions. On the 29th the environs of that town were under water, and the inun dations had even extended to the road to Maestricht. Similar accounts have been received from other places. An able Belgian electrician has just discovered that the electric fluid, which gives the most brilliant light whin di rected to certain parts of the human body, renders them so diaphanous that the arteries, veins, and nerves may be clearly distinguished, and the ac ti on f these various organs studied ; this discovery added to that of the stethescope will be very useful in exploring the disturbances in the animal economy. AUG3BURG, FEI3. 1.-At 5 o'clock this morning we re ceived by express, dispatched on the 29th of January, the important intelligence that the army of the Seiklis had passed the frontier river, and attacked the English army, by which they have been defeated. The long-expeeted inter ference of the British army in the Punjaub is thus decided. The house at Trieste, by whose kindness we have re ceived this express, observes, " Unfortunately the Inipera trice steamer, which brought this important intelligence, experienced very unfavourable weather, and was (.bilged to put into Corfu for a supply of coals, so that it arrived here nearly two days later than it would otherwise have done. We received indeed this India Mail five or six days sooner than is usual by way of Marseilles, but we fear that it will not reach England by Marseilles even if an express is sent from Trieste to London."

THE HAGUE, FEB 2.—The anniversary of the birth. day of her Royal Highness the Princess Frederick o: the Netherlands was observed yesterday in this town, with the usual ceremonies. ROTTERDAM, FEB. 2.—We have received the Java journals from the 15th to the 22d of October last year. On the 13th, early in the morning, his Excellency tho Governor-General left Batavia, and proceeded to Brei teuzong. His Excellency was accompanied to the boundaries of the district of Batavia by the principal civil and military authorities, and there received arid complimented by the:Assietlii4 Resident of Breitenzong, and by many native chiefs, who attended the Governor-General to his palace. On the 21st of June a piratical proa of Magindanao was at tacked and taken by Major Djacka, of Limbottoa, native officer of the residence of Manado. The pirates had come with their vessel to this coast, in order to take in a supply of water; they were, however, soon disco vered, and attacked by Major Djacka, with three prows; arid as they would not surrender, they were all killed. Twenty-one persons whom they had carried otf were found in the captured vessel, in a most deplorable con dition, who were thus restored to liberty. We received from different parts of the kingdom ac counts of considerable inundations. POLISH FRONTIERS, JAN. 20.—The kingdom of Poland is to undergo the following alterations the frontier line between Poland and Russia is to be effaced in the course of this year. 2d, Between this and the Ist of January, 1847, all persons in office must be able to speak the Russian language ; and every who in t hi s t i me h as no t l earne d t o s peak it well enough to transact the business of his office in Rus sian will be dismissed. 3d. The Government intend entirely to abolish the Viceroyalty of Poland, and to make the country, under another name, a Russian pro vince, and thus to efface all traces of ancient Poland. As to the political state of Poland, it is cliii fly this for which incessant efforts are made to put down the Roman Catholic Church, and introduce the Greek in its stead; for all the patriotism of the common people is founded on their religion, and when they can no longer say " I am Polish" (for the word Catholic is unknown to them), but "I am Russian" (by which they mean Greek), Poland will be a long time before brought to a state of tran quillity, for the nobles have now but little influence over the people, and cannot put them in motion except with the aid of the clergy.—Silician Journal. on Wednesday la s t, we were enabled to present our rea d ers SIR R. PEEL'S . S PEECIL—In an E xtrao idi nary Edi t i on, with the Premier's speech, delivered on the previous evening, at considerable length.

FORTIFICATIONS OF LIVERPOOL.—The new batteries which are about to be erected at the northern extremity of the docks, will be so situated as to cross their fire with that of the fort on the Rock Perch, and to command both the narrow channels by which alone Liverpool is accessible to a hostile force. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. - - (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 10,000 to 12,000 bales, including 300 on speculation, with a firm mar ket.

There are no arrivals to day from any quarter. The discount market becomes easier now the last day of payment for the new railway companies has arrived, and there is every hope that era long people will be so far relieved, as to wonder.at their weakness in being frightened into the belief that a fearful crash must ensue. From the first moment when the Railway Companies began to make their lodg ments with the Accountant-General, up to the present time, there has been an abundance of idle capital in the City, and which, no doubt, would have been liberally, though ju diciously, loaned out upon first-rate security, such as has, within the last week or two, been peremptorily refused everywhere except at the Bank of England, but for the systematic exertions of those who have been so indiscreet or so designing as to foster the uneasiness. The sum cashed up for deposit with the Accountant-General, is between 9,000,000'. and 10,060,0001. just one-third of the original estimate, by that oracular organ, the Times-scarcely one guess or assertion of which paper has proved correct. That the whole amount deposited will be re-invested in stock is not at all probable, because of the decided advance in prices low, and the fall which must occur hereafter, when sales become necessary. The Bank of England will retain the amount not invested in stock, say at least five millions, and the public will receive the other half in return for the stock and Exchequer-bills they supply to the projected Companies. For some months a good part of this five millions will remain with the public, feeding the usual channels of trade, and before the Companies again become sellers, we may hope for such a restoration of confidence, and such a weed ing of the Share Market as will relieve any pressure arising from the stock being thrown on the market. The Stock Market is very animated, and the purchases by the Chancery broker are kept up,though it appears that he has to-day been met by a few sellers. The executors of the late Mr. Cohen are said to have been disposing of stock within the last few .days, and certainly they could not have had a more favourable opportunity, for they may do so most profitably, and yet exercise scarcely any influence upon the value of Consols. The quotations have fluctuated from 96% to 97% for present transfer, and from 97 to 97 1 / 2 for time. The pre mium on Exchequer -bills has been as high so 375. and 405., and on the 1,0001. East India Bonds 41s. to 455. Bank Stock is worth 206 to 209 1 / 2 , and India Stock 259. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 99% to par. There is more activity in the Foreign Market, and the quotations exhibit some buoyancy. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 28 1 4 to 28, and the Three per Cents. 3$ to 38 %. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 59% to 60. Brazilian New Steck has been worth 83, Chilian 100, and Mexican 31% to . Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 60 to 60 1 / i . Railway Shares have been high. The proceedings in Par liament last night have given a favourable impression of the feeling of the Legislature. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES.

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. OPENING OF THE CANTERBURY BRANCH. (BY SPECIAL EXPRESS.) The Canterbury branch of the South-Eastern Railway was yesterday formally opened by the Directors. A special train, containing the Directors of the South- Eastern Railway, and their friends, started from the Bricklayers' Arms station at ten o'clock, and arrived in Canterbury shortly after two. The new line, which commences at Ashford, is 15 miles in length, and is a deuble line of railway. At the Canterbury end a large concourse of people had assembled, to witness the arrival of the first train, and they vociferously cheered it as it entered the town. The occasion was celebrated by a public dinner, given in the Corn Excha:ige. About 280 gentlemen sat down, amongst whom we noticed Lord Torrington, the Dean of Canterbury, Mr. M‘Gregor, the chairman of the South Eastern Railway ; Mr. Dodd, M.P.; and Mr. Fielden, M.P.

It is very fair that the sentiments of a l l er feel desirous of communicating them should be no s• pressed ; but it is a l so d es i ra bl e that none shou ld mit themselves incautiously and under unnecesg sr i 011 prehensions. They may probably find that in thikt s many other subjects, great exaggerations prerni.der take it for granted, that n one wou ld thi n k of con si stsi r ing societies for agricultural purposes as proper! l3 d ments or machinery for extending any determin e rt nion which any number of the members may el/Se nie on the general question.
