The House of Commons met yesterday, at Twelve. After a great deal of business relating to private Bills had been transacted, and various petitions presented, Captain PECTIELL moved for copies of letters and general rules issued by the Poor-law Commissioners re lative to the employme n t of paupers in pounding, grinding, and crushing bones, and preparing bone-dust, and also fur copies of the remonstrances made to the Poor-law Commissioners on the subject. Sir J. Gu.tua.at could not oppose the ;notion. Ile thought the employment of paupers in bone crushing highly objectionaLle, but had entertained doubts as to th e power of the Commissioners to interfere to prevent i t. lle, however, now thought they might do so by a general order, and a general order had been issued pro hibiting the practice, which order had been laid on the table of the Heu-e. In consequence, however, of repre sentations from tie Boards of Guardians, he had sus pended the exeeution of the order in nine cases until the Ist of April next. In reply t o Mr. ETwALL, the Eight Hon. Thronet said he did not think Andover was one of those nine cases. Mr. ETITALL than conaplainni of the manner in which the Andover inquiry bad been conducted, and expressed his detern3inati:'n to bring the matter specifically, kfore the House. After a fcw words from Mr. CHRISTIE, the moticin was agreed to. On the motion of Captain PECIIELL, certain returns wereeturns relating to the Fishery C onven ti on w ith France ordered. Mr. EWART complained that a petition, signed E. CAnTrn, compl a i n i ng that the Manchester and Southampton Railway had standing o r d ers not complied with th e that there Lad been , had b een present e d to the House, and certain interpolation s in the petition, which he moved to have Printed, iA order that T)LE SUN, LONDON,_ THURS DAY MORN LNG, FEBRIJAR 5, 1846. a Select Committee might be aprointed to inquire into the matter.—A greed to. Sir J. GRAHAM, in ans.3er to Mr. KEMBLE, said that it was his intention to intrcduce a Bill establishing courts of request all over England. Some petitions for railway Bills having been pre sented, the House adjourned. The accounts from the United States, brought by the last packet, though not so hostile and offensive in their character as those previously received, are still, we regret to say, by no means satisfactory. Many impor tant questions had been brought forward in both Houses of Congress, lengthened discussions had fol lowed, and several divisions also had taken place, but these divisions decided nothing. All the main points at issue between England and America remain un settled, and:the best news we can communicate simply is, that Members are taking time to consider, as well as to obtain additional informition from Europe. This shows some sense of propriety, and a a ish to deliberate maturely before involving the country in any hazardous or rash undertakings. We rejeice that such a disposition prevails, because it leaves time for reflection ; it enables the country to weigh the propositions laid before Congress, and to balance the advantages and disadvan tages which may be the consequence of a contest with Great Britain. We cordially hope that the peace party will be listened to, and that such able and good men as WEBSTER and CALHOUN, and others who adept their policy, and are desirous of the real interest and glory of their country, will in time stop the rage for new acqui sitions, and re-establish the great principles of the con stitution so strongly inculcated by WASHINGTON. But, judging from the votes taken hitherto in Congress, we look upon this as a task of no ordinary difficulty. The control of the Executive, and even of :heir national assembly over th e people; is extremely limited.. Each state is disposed to judge and act for itself, the people scarcely recognise any legitimate authority, and all those living on the borders of independent districts mere rich than their own, are not scrupulous as to what to covet, and what they covet they generally make their own, unless re strained by powerful neighbours. Texas was acquired solely because Mexico could not defend her own pro perty; California, unless the invacioa be checked by the interference of European powers, will share the same fate ; and Canada would be added to the list but for the determined spirit of its brave inha bitants, and the powerful protection of the mother coun try. It is easily to be seen, therefore, why such anxiety is manifested to get rid of European interference, to debar England and France, and every other power in every other quarter of the glebe, except America, from either forming settlements or adopting measures for their own security, by maintaining a balance of power among the different independent states. This pretension, though apparently disowned by Mr. CALHOUN, is evi dently a great favourite with him, and he rejects its im mediate adoption, simply because the time for action is not yet come, the " pear is not ripe," America is not able to contend with Eurcpe ; but when her strength is consolidated, when she has reached the age of maturity, and can act boldly, then is the moment to set all the meddling European powers at defiance. But even this advocate of peace claims control at present over other states in the New World than those of the north, and scruples not to.use most violent language towards the SOVEREIGNS of Greatßritain and France for protecting the property and lives of their subjects against the violence of ROSAS. That we may not be charged with imputing to him principles which he does not profess, it may be proper to give' his own words both respecting our interference in the River Plata, and the reasons why he could not agree to the motion of Mr. ALLEN. That Member proposed that Congress should solemnly declare to the civilised world the unalterable resolution of the United States to enforce the principle, that any effort of the Powers of Europe to intermeddle in the social organisa tion or political arrangements of the independent na tions of America, or establish new colonies, would incur the prompt resistance of the United States. " These resolutions," said Mr. CALHOUN, " em braced a principle of action which called for most solemn declarations on the part of the Senate. It afforded matter for consideration how far this resolution could be efficiently acted upon, if adopted. No man could view with stronger feelings of opposition all im pertinent interference of the Powers of Europe in the affairs of this continent than himself. And he would now take occasion to say, that the late extraordinary interference of Great Britain and France in the political domestic relations of Buenos Ayres, was an outrage unprecedented in its cha racter. But the great question here suggested was, were they now prepared to take this whole continent under their protection? Had they reached that state of maturity to admit of this 'wide and exclusive guardian ship? Were they prepared to take all the consequences that must grow out of the assumption of such a po licy as was there indicated? If they were deter mined to take the curse indicated by the resolutions, if they indicated anything, they might as well at once call into action the whole energies of the country. They wanted time." This is plain speaking, and neither England nor France can fail to see that the principle is to be the guiding star of the people, as soon as they are able to defend themselves. Even the outrageous resolu tions of Mr. ALLEN, as far as we can judge, from the mode in which the Senate records its votes, were not de cidedlyrejected, for "the notice of introduction" was laid on the table, and- the temporary defeat, if defeat it cast be called, was obtained by a majority of only five, there , being ,23 for their immediate adoption, and 28 against it. The motion on the Oregon question, for an nouncing to Great Britain that the joint occupation shall cease in twelve months, was also simply post poned; so that, in fact, matters remain exactly as they were at the commencement of the session. We deplore these circumstances, though from the first our expecta tions of a peaceable settlement of the differences were not sanguine, and we deplore them the more, because all parties insist on demands which Great Britain never can accede to.. The difference between them is only as to the-time for action. There was, on Tuesday, laid on the table of tl:c House a return, showing the quantities of wheat, barley, and oats, imported into Great Britain from IcelAnd daring the years 1842, 1843, 1844, 1845. The number or quarters of wheat imported in 1842 was 112,195, and this quantity had gone on increasing year by year, until in 1845 it amounted to 372,719. The import of barley had increased from 50,287 quarters, in 1842. to 93,095, in 1845, and that of oats, from 1,274,326 quarters, in 1842, to 1,679,958 quarters, in 1845. Now, what has been the effect of this gradually increased importation upon the English grain market ? Has it brought down the price of corn ? On the con trary, the price of corn at the end of 1815, after this increased importation had taken place, was higher than it was at the end of 1842. Not a single acre of land has been thrown cut of cultivation in Eng lund in consequence of this increase of importation ; not a grain less of corn of any description has been grown in Great Britain, and but for the Cus tom-house returns, the agriculturists of, Great Britain would never have been aware that any grain at all had been imported from Ireland. Now, when come century ago it was proposed to admit Irish agricultural produce duty free, the proposition was met by the protectionists of that day with the same unmewing clamour with which the pro positions of Sir RODELT PEEL have been met in this. Then, as now, the great bucolic mind saw ruin in plenty, end the Dukes of GEORGE If., like those of VICTORIA, fancied that they themselves could not live, unless they starved every one else. We all remember the howl of despair that was set up at the time of the passing of the Canada Corn Bill. For two years that all has been in operation— fur two years Canadian flour has been permitted to enter the British market, and now the price of flour is actually higher than it was before the Bill passed. That similar results will follow from the carrying out the plan pro posed by Sir ROBERT PEEL we see no raison to doubt, end however paradoxical it may appear, we verily believe th a t th e f armer will get a better price for his wheat und er a f ree - trade system, than he can under a system of protection. This seeming parat . kx however, is easily expl a i ne d. The area of England does not, and cannot, grow wheat sufliciert fur the support of its population, and the con sequence is, that to quote the Is ords of a great clerical pr o t ect i on i st , " S ome millions rejoice in pota toes." These millions are potato-eaters, because there is not enough corn grown iii the country to en able them to eat bread. A/mit foreign corn, and these millions immediately become bread -eaters. The supply of bread in Eng'and has never yet been equal to the• demend ; and it is only when the suplly is greater than the demand (and all the surplus corn at present in Europe and America, if poured into our markets at once, could not create a glut) —it is, we only when the supply is greater than th e d emand price as can b e detri mtrheeapntetaat h t, l etir)e ti c le an ag b r e icu s l u t c u h ris a ts f of . all As a proof that such an event is not likely ever to take place, we w ill only allude to the cry of over-population so cons t an tly raised by tha landed protectionists, and to the schemes of emigration which they pro p ose as its remedy. meaning of over-population— Now what is the mea ni iTneansare too many mouths fur the und(r-feeding: there supply of food, and our protectionists instead of d economical remedy of adopting the easy, simple, en bringing the food to the mouths, choose rather to send the mouths to the fuod, from some ►ague and false notion which they entertain, that as producers of food their in terests are at variance with those of the community. On Monday monopoly stood forth upon the hustings of Lewes, in all the triumph of harlequinade, in all the pomp of ridicule, in all the rich and lavish luxury of self-eulogium. Mr. DARBY, the late representative, was not present, and he was apotheosised by a Mr. Enizesei: Mr. FREWEN was present, and he was declared to be duly elected, at the nomination of the neighbouring pro tectionists. To say that the multitude of non-electors in front of the hustings had decidedly the best of the ar gument throughout ; to say that they interspersed the -proceedings wi;h running commentaries at once pithy and intolerably true ; to say that the principal orator was chiefly remarkable for his mixture of threats, and entreatiee, and doggrel attempts at facetiousness, is to say everything that can be said of the character of the recent return of an anti- Ministerial Member for East Sussex. Wonderful was the dogged and leaden• headed perseverance of the agri cultural party in braving the jeers of their auditory ; wonderful were their expressions of indignation at what they appeared to regard as the turpitude of the Pre mier ; but doubly wonderful was their assumption of confidence in the stability of their very composite protection-fabric—at the very moment the earthquake of Free Trade was rumbling under its foundations, at the very moment when its component parts were dropping piecemeal to the ground. When feelings of astonishment were muttered among the parties present at what seemed exceedingly like indolence on the part of the League, Mr. SHELBY, an avowed abolitionist, steps forward with a few sentences of explanation. This ex planation was absolutely summed up in the very significant remark, that " his hearers were doubtless aware that it was probable there would shortly be a general election ;" but, in case the deduction might not be sufficiently obvious, he de clared his intention of then" trying his chance." To dilate upon the species of rhetoric employed by the agricultural gentlemen would be tantamount to a ninety-ninth encore; the same materials having been called again into requisition, which have now been shuttle-cocked all through the anti repeal forces. The successful candidate on the termination of the regular details appeared (to revive an obsolete but ex pres,ive phrase) little better than mumchance ; in this he acted with temporary prudence; his behaviour in that respect is worthy of more general imitstioa. We understand that the Select Committee on Rail ways are not likely to present any report till next week. In the meantime a number of railway Bills have gone to-day before the Committees on Petitions for Private Bills, and it is to be presumed that no interference will now take place with the usual course of proceeding with railway Bills. Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been received, but we find no news in them. Accounts from Barcelona of the 26th, and said to be official, announce that only the ringleader of the insurgents made prisoners, who took up arms in the " Ampurdan," will be shot at Ge rona, the remaining nineteen being condemned to the galleys. The Spanish Funds continued firm. On the 27th the Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Bourse at 33i cash and 331 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents, at 231 at GO days. In the French Chamber of Peers, on Monday, M. REMUSAT brought forward his amendment, which was founded on the sixth paragraph of the Address, relative to the friendly relations betweea France and England, and moved that the following words be added: But in order that these relations be consolidated, it is neces sary that the two Governments, while acting in concert in the circumstances in which their interests are com mon, guard with care in the two worlds the full inde pendence of their political action." In urging his amend ment, M. RIMUSAT argued that France acted subordi nately to England with regard to her policy towards the United States, that such conduct was contrary to the policy hitherto adopted by France, and in opposition to her real interests. He believed war would rot break out, but still he thought France should declare•that she would remain to tallyindependen t, so as to choose anycourse that might be advisable. M. GunoT said he perfectly agreed with the proposition, that a great nation should retain its independence ; but there wai, he considered, something beyond the expression of that idea in the propsed amendment. It contained a reproach against the Ministry—an expression of mistrust, and he should therefore move its rejection. M. THIERS, who we believe is the mainspring of all these amendments, then addressed the Chamber, and maintained that the Go vernment had adopted a mischievous policy by inter fering at all in the affairs of Texas. It was done solely to please England, and the affairs of the Government altogether were not conducted on any principles of good sense. M. GUIZOT briefly replied, and said he could not admit the llon. Member to be a monopolist of all the good sense in the country. The Chamber then divided, when there IA ere— For the amendment Against it Majority for Ministers We are glad to find that one of the Oppsitionjournals, usually hostile towards England, has acted an indepen dent part with regard to the repeated amendments pro posed by several Members of the Right and Left. The Courricr FT ancais regard the outbreaks of 31. BERRYER as " an instance alike of bad taste and bad policy, and asks whether it was becoming to launch out int( philippics against England at the moment when new: had arrived of those admirable financial reforms, which, if adopted, will double the sale of French produce ire England. Was it becoming in a leader of the Logitimatis: party, which when lost was raised again into life by. England, to make this furious attack upon the English ?" The Journal des Debats says :—" The Commission ap pointed to revise the budget for 1.147 is actively em• played with that work. As compared with later years, the budget presents no essential difference. Like them, it is much more considerable titan what we were accus tomed to see eighteen or twenty years ay. This aug. mentation has principally arisen from the increase in the budgets for Public Works and Public Instruction, and in that of the War Department, which may be accounted for by the war in Africa. The budget of 1830 way 973,000,000 f., 187,C00,000f. of NI hid) was for the War Ikpartment, and 34,000,000 f. for Public Works. At present, the total amount demanded fcr the budget is, we believe, 1,333,000 ; 000f., the amount for defraying the expenses of the War Department being 325,000,000 t. and that for the Public Works 152,000,000 f. The War budget has not quite doubled, that of Public Works more than quadrupled, and that of Public Instruction, although of an amount much inferior to the two previous depart ments, has increased fire-fold. Prom 3,500,000 f. it has risen to 18,000,000 f. " A portion of the French cruisers, an the Con stituConnel, " have already taken their stations along the western coast of Africa. Their sojourn at the Cape Void Islands was very short, in consequence of the. prevalence there of the yellow fever. Every precaution had been adopted to avoid the scourge, and fortunately with succe2s. The coast had been divided into three zones, the first extending from the Bisago Islands, near the Senegambia, to Three Point Cape ; the second, from the latter to Cape Negro ; and the third, from that cape to the small bay situate at the extremity of the Desert coast. The second zone, containing the greater number of suspicious points, will be the object of the strictest surveillance." We find the following in the E do of Oran of the 23d ult..— "Abe-el-Kader, pursued to the south-west of the Onaren scnis by Marshal Bu t :cc:il, and then by the columns of Generals Lamoriciere and Jussuff, is said to have made a daour, and an attack iu the east towards Goudjila. It is also said that he has made a razzia on the Rahmans, only a few leagues from the columns of General Marcy, and after wards retired in a direction which has not been discovered. There is every reason to believe that he has moved towards the south, where, during the winter, he will find provisions and gain partisans. Ben Salem has roused himself into ac tion again. lie has quitted the Jurjnra, and, with a small troop, has advanced five or six leagues to the south of Fort Hamza, where, it is said, he has made a razzia on some of the isolated dollars of the Aided Dris, but the tribes which remain faithful to us have assembled, made an attack upon him in return, and retaken a great part of his booty." A letter from Algiers, of Jan. 23, in the Sentinelle de Toulon, states that amongst the number of persons who wore brought in a frozen state to the hospital of Setif, fr3m the 4th to the ith ult., there were eighteen officers, several of whom had to undergo amputation of bath legs.

LATEST FROM AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING. The fast-sailing New York packet-ship Yorkshire Captain Bailey, brings papers from that city to the 18th ult., her day of sailing, the Yorkshire having trade an excellent voyage of 15i days —one of the quickest on record. On the 17th a division, that to some extent may be regarded as a trial of strength between the peace and the war party, took place in the Senate. Mr. Allen having moved certain resolutions, confirmatory of the threats held out by President Pulk against all and every European power which should venture to interfere in American affairs, was met by Mr. Calhoun with a direct negative, and on a division, Mr. Allen's resolutions were rejected by a majority of 28 to 23! In the majority there were 23 Whig senators, and five senators from the cotton growing south, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. M‘Duffie, &c. &c. This divisors had produced a favourable result at New York, a nd was considered the forerunner of the defeat of the war party on the Oregon question. The debate on that question was not to commence in the Sedate until the 10th of February, so that we shall not know the result until the beginning of March. TWENTY-NINTH CONGRESS—IN SENA rE. WASUINGTON, JAN. 14. NON-INTERFERENCE OF EUROPEAN POWERS. Mr. Allen having submitted his resolutions, pur suant to notice of yesterday, and the question arising, shall the senator have leave now to introduce.them, to V% it : " Joint Resolutions declaratory of the Principles by which the United States will be governed in regard in the Interposition of the Powers of Europe in the Poli tical Affairs of America. " Resolved, &c.— That recent manifestations of a dis position, by certain powers of Europe, to interfere in the political arrangements of this continent, with a view to the enforcement of the E uropean principles of the balance of power' upon the i n d ependent nations of madeniitt' in his jud gment, the duty of ing ed Stat es to call the attention of Congress o m n le g ll r i e 3 s ai s 'dh t e o nitv t subject, of the United in his annual message, and to announce, on the part of the United States, the counter principle of non-intervention, it is the judgment of Con gress that the announcement thus made by the Presi dent was demanded by the manifest hazard to which such interference would inevitably expose the relations of peace now subsisting between the old world and the new. "Resolved,—That Congress, thus concurring with the President, and sensible that thii subject has been forced upon the attention of the United States by recent events, so significant as to make it impossible for this Govern ment longer to remain silent, without appearing ready to submit to, and even to incite, the enforcement of this dangerous doctrine, do hereby solemnly declare to the civilised world the unalterable resolution of the United States to adhere to and enforce the principle that any ffurt of the powers of Europe to interineddle in the social organization or po:itical arrangem en t : o f t h e in dependent n at i ons o f Amer i ca, or further to extend the European s y s t em of government upon this continent, by the establishment of new colonies, would be incompatible with the independent existence of the nations, and dan gerous to the liberties of the people of America, and therefore would incur, as by the right of self preservation it would justify, the prompt resistance of the United States." Mr. Calhoun said these resolutions embraced a prin ciple of action which called for the most solemn declara tions on the part of the Senate. It afforded matter fur consideration, how far can the resolutions be effici ently acted upon, if adopted? No man could view with stronger feelings of opposition all impertinent inter ference of the powers of Europe in the affairs of this continent than he (Mr. Calhoun). And he would now take occasion to say, that the late extraordinary interference of Great Britain and France, in the poli tical domestic relations of Buenos Ayres, vvas an outrage unprecedented in its character. But the great question here suggested is, are we now prepared to take ibis whale continent under our protection ? Have we reached that state of maturity to admit of this wide and exclusive guardianship ? Are we prepared to take all the conse quences that must grow out of the assumption of such a policy as is here indicated ? If we are determined to take the course indicated by the resolutions, if they in dicate anything, we might as well at once call out into action the whole energies of the country. Let 113 have time. Mr, Calhoun was of the firm opinion that, at this particular moment, the resolutions of the other Honourable Senator could have no good result—no good effect upon the nations of the world. The President had announced the principle ; why not be content t o s t an d upon that de c l ara ti on ? The concurrent declaration of Mr. Monroe had been regarded in his day, and even by Mr. Calhoun, who was then a much younger man than at this crisis, as unwise and really mischievous in its effects. And what good bad resulted from it ? There had been frequent interferences since, on the part of the European powers, in the affairs of the independent na tions of this continent, of which we had taken no notice whwever. We were rapidiy approaching to great events. They demanded our most solemn consideration. We were approaching, as it were, to that point where the broad plain highway parts into two roads . —one to the right, and the other to the left. Between the two we were left to decide. The exigency required our most solemn deliberation. For himself, Mr. Calhoun said, he would rather not push this principle—at least for the present ; but would prefer to let it remain where the President had put it. Mr. Allen said he had been apprehensive that even :his proposition might be resisted in the Senate, but ho had not supposed that the bare introduction of it would sncounter opposition. He would not now go into a ge neral examination of the resolutions, but would simply remark that the President, in his official message to Congress, had denounced the principle of foreign inter position in American political affairs, and without the approval of Congress, ho would stand, in the eyes of the world, as taking a stand unsupported by the concurrence if the balance of the Government. Never, since the de- Aeration of Mr. Monroe against foreign interference in the domestic relations of this continent, had Mr. Allen heard the propriety of that declaration questioned among .he people [Mr. Allen is great for the people]. As far as his observation had extended, he had never heard the justice or the policy of this po s i t i on quest i oned: nor had known it to meet with opposition from any American mind. Mr. Allen further expatiated upon the propriety of Congress confirming this position of the President. fie did not ash the consideration of the resolution now ; it would be referred, if received, to the Committe on Fe- Relations, - who would, doubtless, give it that serious reflection which Ve case required, and would report ac ;ordingly. Mr. Calhoun inquired if the Chairman on Foreign Relations had submitted this resolution on his own indi vidual responsibility? Mr. Allen said, yes, Sir, it-is my own work. Mr. Calhoun said that he considered this an urpre- Iledsnted proceeding and entirely out of order. Here we have the Chairman on Foreign Relations introducing A 'nest important measure without consultation of the Committee. Mr. Calhoun said that he should beg nothing. He knew precisely where he stood. He was not disposed now to rush forward into any measure that would further entangle our foreign relations. If we xere resolved upon this measure, we ought at once to put forth the whole of our strength. We ought to de dare ourselves a military republic, and that the wheel continent was under our especial protecion. Why did not the Senator at once come forward with a specific re solution touching the affairs at Buenos Ayres? It was the part of wisdom to look to wise ends from wise means. No wise man would determine upon a result which he knew to be beyond his means —no more would any wise nation do so. A wise man, or a wise nation, should al -rays be prepared to do what they may declare to be their determination to accomplish. Mr. Calhoun posi tively objected to the reception of the resolutions, and railed for the ayes and noes. Mr. Jarnagin moved to lay the question of reception epon the table, and upon this motion he called the yeas and nays. [Mr. Jarnagin's resolution corresponds with the action upon abolition papers.] Mr. Crittenden P. sked if the resolutions would lie there without the privilege of being called up again ? Voices—Oh! no, no. The resolution can be offered again. Mr. Jarnagi❑ stated that his objeet in the motion was lot to cut off the resolution entirely, but merely for the present to lay the subject upon the table. Mr. Allen said the action of the Senate upon this mo. tion would be conclusive of—(Cries of " Order, order.") Mr. Allen asked the Chair to state the question. The Chairman stated the question to be, shall the question of leave to introduce the resolutions be laid on the table ? And the Senate decided that it should, by a vote of 28 to 23—Messrs. Calhoun, Chalmers, IIeywo::(1, and Al‘Dutile, voting with the Whigs in the affirmative. " So," says the correspondent of the New York aurier and Enquirer, "Mr. Allen was completely flpored and laid out cold upon the table." News had been received at New Orleans, that the Mexican army of reserve, under General Parades, ha declared against the Government on account of the timid spirit which it had shown in the negotiations with the United States. It was advancing on the capital, and its success was expected to be followed by a war with the 1 , States. The troops at Tampico have joined the move ment. NEW ORLEANS, JAN. B.—Business for the last two days has been quite lively, and a pretty stiff trade has been driven in cotton, the sales having amounted to 10,500 bales, at the following rates:—lnforier, 6c.; or dinary, 61c. to 61c.• middling, 6ic. to 61c.; good mid dling, 7c. to 7i e . ; middling fair, 7Ae. to 7-1-c.; fair, 7ic. to Bc.; good fair, Bic. to ; good and fine, 9c. to 94c. The arriva's have been small, and not worth mention ing. Sugar holds its own 1,000 hhds. having kern sold at from 52c. to 54c. for a fair article. Molasses sells at from 2021 c. to 21c. per gallon, and at these rates 2,000 hbds. have been sold the last two days. Flour is in the same state, although the sales have been moderately extens i ve ; about 4,231 brls. haring been sold at the last quoted rates. Corn is a trifle lower, bringing from 52 to 58 cents. a sack. About 4,000 sacks were sold at these rates yesterday. Exchanges continue in the same state. NEW YORK, JAN. 17. BREADSTUFFS.—There was a little more doing to-day than was previously noticed, and the market is also more firm at our last quotations. Sales were made in Genesee, for export, at 5 dolls. 75 cents; and in Southern at 5 dolls. 75 cents to 5 dolls. 87i cents. COTTON.—There was a moderate inquiry to-day, and the sales amounted to about 600 bales. ------- - The Marchi oness of Blandford was safel y . delivered of a son on S un d ay night last, Marquis's residence, Wilton -Attest. at the Noble RAILWAY COMMIT FELS.

The Committee consisted of Mr. Strutt (chairman), Mr. Forbes, Mr. Wrightson, and ➢ir. Brotherton. The Committee took the cases of the East Lincolnshire and Sheffield and Rotherham first, and after hearing the evidence in their favouir, declared that the standing orders had been complied with in both instances. The Staines and Richmond Bill next came before them. The Bill was opposed by landholders, but the opposition proved futile, and the Committee ruled that the stand ing orders had been fully complied' with. In the case of the South-Western (Romsey and Redbridge branch) Railway, which stood next on - the list, the com mittee decided that the standing orders in one or two minor instances had not been complied with, and they, therefore, intend to report accordingly to the General Committee on public petitions. The Committee adjourned shortly after four o'clock till to morrow. Sub-Committee No. 3. The member 3 of this Committe were, Mr. Aglionbv (Chairman), Captain Jones, Mr. Alciham, Mr. Stanstield, and Mr. Thornely.

The Committee adjourned at five o'clock. Sub-Committee, No. 2. This Committee commenced its sittings at twelve o'clock yesterday in room No. 6; Sir John Yarde Buller, chairman. The Committee were occupied in ccnsidering the following Bills : The Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway and branches, Nos. 1,2, 3, and 4. In the case of Bills No. 1 and 4, it was decided that the standing orders bad not been complied with in some trifling instances. Bills 2 and 3 were declared to have complied with the standing orders. The Committee then proceeded with the Ayrshire and Gal loway Riilway Bill. Several allegations were raised against the Bill, a few of which were sustained, but the inquiry had not concluded when we went to press. The CHAIRMAN informed the parties in waiting that they would not take any other Bill till the following day. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. SHEFFIELD, FEB. 3.

In her descent she she came in contact with a leaden projecrion at the first story, which in a measure broke her fall, or she would most probably have been killed upon the spot. She was at once conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, where she was promptly attended by Dr. Birkitt, who discovered that in addition to a fractured skull her collar-bone w,s broken, and that she had received other serious injuries. Jealousy of her' husband was the cause of her attempted self- destruction. She remains at the institution in a most deplorable state of suffering.

The effect of the anticipated repeal of the corn-laws upon the American markets is'explained in the following extract from papers received this morning, to as late a date as the 17th ult. " The news is of the greatest importance. The modifica tion or repeal of the corn-laws of Great Britain will, without doubt, take place immediately after the meeting of Perna mgnt. The London Times of December 10th, repeats its assertions, made on the 4th, but with qualifications that take away a great deal of their important character and strengh. The effect of this announcement upon the various markets was very great, and had put a stop to all transactions of importance. The money and corn markets continued very tranquil, and will doubtless remain so until Parliament meet and these questions are settled. There was some activity in the cotton market, and prices were firm, the sales being mostly to the trade. " The effect of this news upon the markets of this country cannot be otherwise than favourable. Prices of flour and grain will particularly feel the influence of such accounts, as a repeal of the corn-laws would create a very extensive demand for these articles, and create large speculative ship ments. " The accounts by the steamship of the 4th instant from Liverpool, now nearly due, will be more anxiously looked for now than previous to this arrival. Business here will be in a great degree suspended until the steamer arrives, as the greatest excitement prevailed this evening, throughout the city, soon after our extra was issued." The intention of the English Government to reduce the duty on Tallow, causes purchases for immediate consumption to be deferred, and about two-thirds of the stock is in bond. In the meantime the whole of the duty paid stock will be taken for consumption, as the trade are n ot a t a ll i n s t oc k, an d consequently will not be Iwo by the reduction. There has been a rally in the value of the English Stocks of about 1 % per cent. consequent on the favourable intelli gence from New York. Consols are 94% to 95% for Money, and 95% to 95 1 / for Account. Exchequer-bills have run up to 325. and 355. premium. Bank Stock has risen to 207 and 208, and East India Stock to 255 1 /, and 257 1 /. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. are 97 3 4 to 98 1 4. Every thing looks buoyant. In Foreign Stocks there is scarcely anything doing. Spa nish Five per Cents. are steady at 28, and the Three per Cents. have touched 38%. Brazilian Bonds are 82 1 4. Dutch Four per Cents, are 94 1 4 to 3 %. Shares to a partial extent have felt the favourable effect of the advance in Stocks. ONE CLOSING BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES.

He entered the navy at a very- early age, and was lieutenant of the Vanguard in 1791, when that vessel formed part of the squadron engaged in the reduction of the French West India Islands. When lieutenant of the Astrea he had the honour of participating in the gallant action with La Loire, which ended in the capture of the French frigate, after a spirited contest of fifty minutes. The deceased was present in Lord Bridport's action in 1793, and in 1801 he commanded the Terror, at the defeat of the Danish fleet at Copenhagen.
