JUNE 30, 1832. If Ministers hava submitted but little, in reference to their policy,-to the judgment cf the electors, they have I.:ft a,wide field for imagination. Satisfied with the carte blanche accorclA to their supporters, they have selected this evening to refresh themselves with a " white bait" dinner at Blackwell, in anticipation of the immediate close of the existing Parliament. To-morrow the Speech from the Throne will an nounce that the Legislature is prorogued, and shortly afterwards the House of Commons will be dis solved in due form by Royal Proclamation. There upon will come "the tug of war" —the contest between the various candidates who have already presented themselves before the different constituencies. It is invariably maintained, of course, on the occasion of each successive general election, that the one then -transpired exceeds in importance the most memorable of its predecessors. Such is the cant of the hour and the jargon of party—a cant rising not unfre „quently into claptrap and a jargon expanding into fanfarronade. Howbeit at the present juncture it is admitted upon all sides that the struggle about to commence is one upon the result of which the destinies of the entire empire are in a very pe culiar degree dependent. Hitherto, since the altera tions of the tariff, but more particularly since that abolition of the imposts upon corn which incorporated the principles of free trade among the chief of the fundamental principles of the Constitution, the con dition of parties in the Lower House of Parliament has been such that th e ordinary operations of the Government of this country have been very materially interrupted. Confusion has reigned where formerly order was invariable. There has been none of that nice balance of power which tended, it must be allowed, to secure the tranquil facilitation of the labours of Parliament. There was at first a sudden disruption of Conservatism, followed more gradually than might have been expected under the circum stances, but nooe the lass securely, by a political pro cess almost identical with that of decompoeVion. As PorE said of the pack of cards at the whist-table, Clabs, diamonds, hearts, i n w ild di sor d er seen , With • throngs promisc uous strewe d the l eve l green, " " t h h s ' so might we say of contemporary politicians on the flaor of the House of Commons, that there was per ceptible an equivalent confusion among the Whigs and Tories, the Radicals and Conservatives. Mem bers knew not exactly where to sit. They were un certain whether to establish themselves on the cross benches, below the gangway, behind the benches of the Treasury, or on those of the Opposition. Thus it was that the enterprise deemed until that moment altogether impracticable was achieved by the gallantry of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK. A " third" party was created out of the ruins of Corservatism. There was the party led by Sir ROBERT FEEL. There was the party led by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. There was the party led by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK. Besides these mighthave been enumerated afterwards the lesser parlies (nu merically inferior, but intrinsically formidable), such as the Manchester party represented by COBDEN, and the Radical Reformers represented by the veteran Hume, and ultimately the select, but influential supporters of Lord PALMERSTON, men like Mr. MILNES and Colpnel FREESTUN. Added to all which divisions was yet another, that of " free lances," fighting under no leadership—thoroughly independent Members, such as RALPH BERNAL OS BORNE and JOHN ARTHUR ROEBUCK. Even the before-mentioned state of things in the House of Commons did not appear to be sufficiently confused to be altogether satisfactory. The Protectionists, for whose interests he had fought so gallantly, inspired as he was with a sort of heroic desperation, grew restive under the command of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, and drove him unceremoniously to resign the authority he had only consented to assume at their earnest and importunate entreaties. Parlia ment met again, and the man who was still virtually the leader of the Opposition was—strange to behold— seated on the cross benches. His energetic associate, Mr. DISRAELI, looked disconsolate in his position im mediately confronting the leaders of the PEEL Go vernment. Shortly afterwards came the death struggle on the Coercion Bill for Ireland, the resig nation of Sir ROBERT, and the instalment of the RUSSELL Administration. Free-traders and Monopolists were then jumbled together on the same side of the House. Confusion became 'worse confounded. The Whigs existed as a Cabinet upon a species of agonizing sufferance. The Parlia ment of 1841 was tortured by the throes of dissolu tion. Ministers survived even then with a House of Commons consisting of a majority of antagonists— their survival being attributable not to their own strengtb, but to the weakness of the Opposition, a weakness brought about by divisions and ani mosities. At length the situation became intolerable. The Parliament of 1841 was dissolved in 1847, and after a general election, which provoked throughout the country extra ordinary excitement, the new House of Com mons was assembled on the 18th of November at Westminster. Unluckily for the people the con fusion of parties was still as remarkable as ever, and their consequent jealousies being in several instances peculiarly rancorous, anything like an amalgamation was hopeless. In 1848 Lord GEORGE BENTINCK died suddenly of disease of the heart, and in 1850 Sir ROD C ZIT PEEL ' died suddenly by an accident. Relieved of their most formidable, antagonist in the former instance, the Whigs were in the latter deprived of their most notable supporter. They languished at first with miserable majorities, and ultimately with no majorities at all, until, from sheer exhaustion and incapacity—after remaining in power for five years, and ungratefully ridding them selves of their most popular and illustrious colleague —Lord JOHN and his colleagues were compelled, last February, to tender their resignation. The result we are tolerably well acquainted with by this time— en the acceptance of the resignation of the Whigs, the Tories were called to power, the Earl of DERRY being entrusted with the formation of the new Government. Aided by the remarkable abilities of Mr. DISRAELI in the House of Commons, the new PRIME • MINISTER has contrived to carry on the affairs of the country until July —a period of upwards of four months—without a working majority, and in spite of the extravagant blun ders of such men as the Earl of MALMESBURY. Up to the present moment, therefore, the position of party remains as involved as at the time of its original disruption. The responsibility consequently 'lbw rests with the electors to terminate this anoma lous situation. The general election of 1852 must restore' the machinery of legislation, and through it, of course, the machinery of adminis tration to something like a rational state of equi librium. Call them no matter what—Liberals or Derbyites—the new House of Commons must consist for the most part of either advocates of Reform or advocats of Retrogression. Which of these two great parties is to obtain the preponderance is .the question now about to be submitted to the country by the SOVEREIGN. With the possessors of the franchise, therefore, rests the responsibility of solving this problem, through the various candidates aspiring to be representatives in the new Par liament. We are on the eve of a general election. The most strenuous exertions are making in every direction on behalf of the several aspirants for senatorial honours ; and it is more than probable that within lees than a fortnight several Members will be returned to the new Parliament. This, then, is the time for electors impressing their wishes and desires on the anxious candidates. Every statement will b 3 listened to with respect and attention, and distinct answers returned and solemn pledges given, when it is clearly and dis tinctly shown that there is no possibility of evading the interrogatory, or returning a vague, unsatisfactory response. Should the golden opportunity be neg lected or misapplied, many years may elapse before the recurrence of one equally favourable. The same z eal or energy can seldom be excited in the representa tive which may easily be awakened in the candidate. tiVe tit, then, that the opponents of the unjust and impolitic Act which forbids marriage with the sister of a deceased wife may fully avail them selves of the occasion, that they will temperately, but firmly, not r efuse their su pp or t t o any person who will promise to use hi s utmost exertions to remo ve the unwise restriction, or the most sacred privilege belonging to a human being, that of choosing for himself the partner of his life, the participator in his h app i nes s, the soother and comforter in affliction. It is impossible to conceive how any man, professing himself to be the friend of civil and religious liberty, can entertain any doubt o r difficulty on suc h a po i nt. If a man is to be allowed to judge f or hi mse lf , and to form his own opinions on religious subjects without -- should m arr i age interference, or being subjected t o any i nqu i ry or disability on account thereof, w h y constitute the sole exception to th e general rule ? Why should the law unn ece ssarily int erpose an obstacle to the perfect and entire freedom of choice which is essential to the happiness of the wedded pair ? It is really the most wanton interference with the liberty of the subject, the most glaring i nstance of intolerance, that has been known since the r emoval of the penal enactments when life and property mi g h t be endangered in case of non-conformity. And the re is net the slightest pretext for stating that there could be idly political reason for its retention, or . danger to the community by the alteration of the law. If there were any divine or natural law against such unions, any distinct and unequivocal prohibi tion, the matter would be different. Then all persons would be bound to conform to the regulation, which would command an almost universal consent. But the argument drawn from the 18th Leviticus, v. 18, has been long since practically abandoned. It cannot for a mome n t b e asserte d w i t h a s h a d ow o f truth that it applies to the sister of a deceased wife. On the contrary, the words "in her lifetime," expressly limit the period, and by inference show that such a mar riage would be lawful after the death of the first wife. Besides, a reason is given for the direction. It is not that there would be any natural objection to the mar riage with two sisters, but it is to spare the feelings of the first wife from the mortification of being sup planted by her sister. " Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister to vex her beside the other in her lifetime." Any religious objection can, therefore, be only founded on certain canons of the Church, which we believe were equally opposed to any second marriage wbatscever, or to a marriage with a widow, or en actress, or a slave—regulations which have been long since aban doned and set at nought. But even were it other wise, and that the rule were binding on every member of the Church of Rome or of England, why should it be permitted to affect the great and influential body of Protestant Dissenters, men who judge for them selves, and refuse to be bound by any supposed autho rity of the Church ? The most conscientious and moral men, persons:who would not permit their passions or wishes to influence them in a matter of right or wrong, see no objection to such marriages, and yet they are to be fettered and restrained in a matter in which even the members of the Established Church are divided in opinion —many of the most eminent and pious prelates and clergymen, as well as a large portion of the laity, believing that the enactment rendering such marriages null and void, is highly inexpedient, and should forthwith be repealed. The state of the case and the position of the ques tion should be borne in mind. There was a majority of the House of Commons in favour of the repeal, but the Bill for that purpose was practically twice re jected in the Lords. It will not be enough, there fore, to return a mere majority of representatives in favour of the change. That majority must be so considerable in numbers, and zealous and determined in feeling, as to enforce respect to their wishes from the other branch of the Legislature. Let all, then, who are desirous of removing this blot from the national statute-book, of abrogating an enactment which is habitually disregarded, and which only in jures innocent and helpless children, call upon every applicant for their suffrages to pledge himself to spare no efforts to abolish this, one of the latest and most indefensible vestiges of religious intolerance. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The leading journals contain no word of comment on the message of the PRINCE PRESIDENT closing the session of the Legislative Body. The following para- I graph, however, in the Moniteur, although only pro fessing to be descriptive of the manner in which the Speech was received, is highly significant : All applauded these words so simple, which define with so much correctness the immense result of the policy of December 2—' Power is no longer that im movable mark against which the different oppositions directed their arrows.' Like plaudits hailed the passage which refers to the faculty accorded to the secret of correcting such imperfections as may be revealed by ex perience, in which was seen a new pr oo f o f t h e modera tion of e Prince and of the force of the Constitution." The passages dwelt on by the Monite ur d o c l ear ly indicate that the PRINCE PRESIDENT has no intention of changing :his title to one which would make him, e' kings were, the " immovable object for parties to fire at." The Constitution is by him regarded most seriously, while the principle of its revision by, and through, the legitimate channel of the Sedate is not only recognised, but pointed at as likely to be prac tically brought into operation. This is a mark of con cession to the Legislative Body, which complains of the want of some provision in the fundamental act for enabling it to have amendments proposed by members explained and defended before the Council of State by their authors or their delegates. The Patric says— " It appears by our correspondence from Constanti- nople of 15th that the Sultan, having learned the, the refusal to admit into the Bosphorus the French 90- gun ship the Charlemagne was considered in France as a meek of disrespect towards our Goveraiment, imme diately issued u. fit man which opens thotßoophorus to this ship." A paragraph in the Pays would seem to have been introduced for the purpose of removing all hope of ABD-EL-KADER. being liberated. A conspiracy beg been discovered at Bona and Constantine for a gene nil insurrection, which wes supposed to ba favoured by the concentration of the French troops around the mountains of Collo. A prompt and terrible repres sion had, perhaps, already been effected by the three columns which had marched from Bathue, Constan tine, and Ghelmsb, so as to surround the insurgent district, having on their way defeatld all opposition. As it wrs during the year 1852, a prophet WI ex pected to bring delivery from the yoke of the Christians, the writer trembles when he thinks what might have been the consequences of the appearance of ABDEI,KADER amongst the insurgents, end blames those imprudent councillors who were urging the Government to let him loose. The Echo de la Froraiere states that on Sunday a gendarme on duty at the railway terminus, at Va lenciennes, saw a young man who appared to be la bouring under considerable agitation. He spoke to him, and in a short time discovered that he bad several sealed letters in his hat. The gendarme at first supposed that the affair wes a mere infraction of the postal regulations, but on examining the addresss of the letters they were found to be directed to the principal demagogical leaders in the south of France. The hearer of the letters, who is the son of M. ROUET (de la Nieve), one of the expelled ex-repres e nt a ti ves of the M oun t a i n , was immediately arrested and handed over to the authorities. Some of the letters are said by the journal to have been written by M. PASCAL DUPRAT, who is now in Brussels. SIDI-MAUMOUD DEN•AYET, Minister of the Bey of Tunis, arrived s.t Marseilles, on the 26th, from whence be will proceed to London via Paris. The French fleet, before sailing from Algiers, re mained for ten days at Tunis, in daily communication with the Government and population. On the day before that fixed for the departure of the fleet, the BEY sent a present of oxen, sheep, fowls, eggs, oil, and vegetables to the squadron, the value of which was estimated at not less than 20,000 f. During the stay of the various vessels before Tunis, the chaplains of the fleet several times performed mass in the Chapel of St. Louis, the enclosure of which now serves as the burial place of the Roman Catholics of the country. The BEY also sent to Admiral DE LA SUSSE, and to the several captains, the insignia of the Nichan of Tunis. The dividends declared by the Tribunal of Com merce, in " concordats" (arrangements with credi tors) in the course of last year were from 5 to 10 rar cent. in 9 cases ; 10 to 15,per cent. in 34 ; 15 to 20 par cent. in 18 ; 20 to 25 per cent. in 32 ; 25 to 30 per cent. in 19 ; 30 to 35 par cent. in 11 ; 35 to 40 per cent. in 4 ; 40 to 45 per cent. in 7 ; 50 to 55 per cent. in 3; 60 to 65 per cent. in 2; the whole capital in 7; and the giving up of the assets 25. The total number of bankruptcies in the latter half of last year was 245. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Julta 29.

We have received correspondence and journals 'rom Madrid, dland the 24th iast. The Marquis of MIRAFLORES, Minister for Foreign Affairs, was busily employed on the postal convention between Spain and England; a treaty is soon ex p3cted to be concluded by the two Governments on this important subje3t. A commission is about to be appointed to consider of plans for the improvement of the provinces of Catalonia, from which the principa lity expected to derive incalculable advantages. There was no business done on the Bourse, as the 24h was the feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. GERMANY. A deputation of free-traders waited a few days ago on the President of the Council of Ministers at Berlin, and presented an address praying for the maintenance of the Zollvercin. The Mini ster, after declaring himself favourable to free trade principles generally, said that the Govern ment would do all in its power to remove the difficulties which hp.d ariGen by the defection of the southern states from the Zollverein ; and he expressed a hone that it would eventually triumph over them. He added that the •fic3t duty of the Government is to maintain the independence of Prussia. All doubt is now removed as to the determina tion of the Germanic Diet to legislate on the press. Two Bills on the subject were presented in the sitting of the 24th. A letter from Vienna, in a Saxon journal, s•tys that it was reported in well-informed circles i❑ that city that the Government has discovered facts of such a nature as to cause it to commence a prosecution before a court-martial of Baron VON PJLLERSDOAFF, ex-Minister of the Interior. It was added that he was detained as a prisoner in his own house. ITALY. The Bill on the National Bank was voted in the sitting of the 25th of the Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies by 94 votes to 22. By this Bill the capital is increased from 8 to 32 millions of francs to be raised by shares of 1,000 francs each ; 250 f. to be paid down immediately, 250 f, in six months, 250 f. more in 1853, and the rest when called for by the council of the bank, with the consent of the Government. The bank is bound to advance to the Government, when required, sums to the amount of 15 millions of francs at 3 per cent. upon public securities; and it must always be ready to meet such demands on the part of the Government. It is authorised in return to establish two discount offices at Turin and Genoa. A letter from Naples states that the King of the Two SICILIES arrived on the '2lst from Gaeta, in order to preside at the Council of State, which was to discuss the question of a general system of roads in the Wand of Sardinia, the expense of which is es timated at '20,000,000f. S WITZERLAND. We learn from Switzerland that the question of the revision of the Constitution of the canton of the Valais has been put to the vote, and 8,939 votes to 284 decided that a Committee of Revision should be nominated. A letter from 'Neufchatel, of the 22d, says—" The Royalists have met with another check, the burgessus have selected for the Council of Administration seven teen Republicans and eleven Royalists, so that the financial administration of the place has now passed Republican party:' into the hands of the DENMARK. It in a letter from Copenhagen of the 251 t is , that four four members of the Privy Council have a Constitution for the whole m be o e n n ar c c h h a y r r d to dra w up TURKEY. The English residents at Constantinople gave a grand dinner to Viscount STRATFORD before his be parture. At this dinner a very complimentary ad dress,signed, was presented to the Noble n an u and his sIY health was drunk with great enthu siasm. Ile rep li ed in a speech, in which he "Such ti striking acknowledgment of the services which iord you have been kind enough to ascribe to me, indioates that in estimating them you have weighed the spirit in which they were conducted, and the difficulties by which they were impounded. It is true, gentlemen, that the obstacles I have had to combat were sufficiently formid able. Their natur e is such that a man of my principles must expect to see them arise in Turkey aseertainly as in other countries of the East; they are—corruption, which undermines society to its foundations, and cupidity and intrigue, which obstruct the march of progress, aed poison the a terosphere wherever they exist. A good deal was to be expect2d from the generous and benevo lent disposition of the reigning sovereign, and from the salutary changes which have taken place in the adminis tration of the country since the adoption of the new system. A good deal was also to be expected from the counsels and policy of a minister who had wisely contributed to the introduction of a system, on the continuation and extension of which depend so entirely the renovation and subsequent security of this noble empire. A great deal of the expected good has, no doubt, been accomplished under then auspices; bat more, much more, remains to be accom plished, and I p must add with the most profound sorrow that indications of error and weakness are seen in more than one P l ace, that the energy of the Government is embarrassed by financial complications, and that even the great charter of Ottoman progress is to a certain point discredited by negligence in the execution, or rather the non -execution, of its promises. Ido not say this to place in doubt the intentions of the Government or to insinuate that I despair of the final restoration of t h e e mpire to a more prosperous position. A state of transition is always more or less a state of weakness; and 1 entertain the hope that efficacious measures will be adopted before it be too late to dissipate darkness, and cause to shine unclouded the rays of European civilization." Viscount STRATFORD concluded by calling atten tionru t t importance of establishing railways and g other improvements into Turkey, and by proposing a t oas t t o th e pr o sperity o f B r iti s h co mmerce. introducing the GREECE. Christoforos is causing unheard-of troublelbe monk to the Government by his incendiary ad dresses. He appears, disappears, and re-appears with astonishing rapidity in various parts of the kingdom; and, having raised the population of the Magne by his discourses, is now ranging the Pelo ponessus. Several military columns are in pursuit of him, and the latest dispatches of their com manders express the expectation of his speedy capture. He is attended by thousands of fanatics, and when hard pressed takes refuge in some church, where he embraces the images, and calls vehemently for Divine succour. The people, excited by his prayers, have more than once fallen with sticks and stones upon the feeble force sent to apprehend him, and made officers and men fly for their lives. In explanation of this strange excit meat, it should be stated that when Greece was mile an independent state the in habitants considered that while they were one in doc trine with the rest of the Eastern church, it was im possible that they could continue under the spiritual authority of the PATRIARCH of Constantinople, a subject of their old master the SULTAN. A national synod was then established in Greece to superintend religious affairs, and this administrative independence has existed until the present year, when the Govern ment of King OTHO concluded a convention with the PATRIARCH acknowledging a modified authority on his part, and in a corresponding degree diminishing the independence of the national church. It is against this arrangement that the monk CHRISTOPHORO3 has taken the field, from which the Government finds it so difficult to drive him. PERSIA.

DORADO.—A poor men in Southampton has a daughter married in Australia. Her • husband is a foreman to a tobacco manufactory situated on the river Paterson, the owner of which is a person named Boyle. The daughter has just written home to her father a letter dated in February last. She states that as soon as the gold discoveries were made, Mr. Boyle was obliged to raise the wages of all the men working on his establishment, and that he allows a few at a time to go to the gold diggings to try their fortune, when they return, after a limited period, to give others a chance. By these means he has been enabled to keep sufficient men to cavry on his business. The diggings are abbut thirty miles from where she resides. She speaks of a youth o f her acquaintance about 17 years of age, who for some time by herd work got an ounce of gold a week; that he afterwards made use of a cradle, and washed out about three ounces of gold a week. A party she knew had met with very bad luck, and they were about to leave the diggings. They were persuaded to give another trial, when they fell in with a spot that was exceedingly rich in gold, and they are now doing remarkably well. The writer of the letter in question has been in Australia about eight years. She states that the climate is much like England, and she is desirous that her father and all her relations should come out and join her. Her greatest grief is that, out of the numerous letters she knows must have been re cently sent from England to her, she has never got one. We understand the marriage of the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, IMP. , and Lady Mary Howard , s ister of the Earl of Carli s l e an d the Duchess of Sutherland, which was to have been solemnised on Monday next, has been de ferred until the 30th proximo.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 Pernam and Ida ranharn were taken for export, and 1,000 American on speculation. The market closed heavily. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 550 Pernam and Idaranhatn at 61,d. to 74d., 200 Egyptian at 64d. to 9d., and 300 Surat at 3d. to 44d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a large business was done at steadily advancing prices. A return made to Parliament shows that last year there were seven imperial officers of customs in Canada paid 1.3681. out of the revenues of the United Kingdom, in Nova Scotia 18 paid 3,7891., in New Brunswick six paid 1,5801., in Prince Edward's Island two paid 5741., and in Newfoundland four paid 8801. The nature and duties of these officers are explained thus :—ln consequence of the repeal of the imperial duties of customs in the North American coloniet., under the operation of the Act of the 10th Victoria, c. 94, the Imperial officers have ceased to be receivers of customs' duties, which are now levied and collected by cffioers specially appointed for that purpose by the colonial Governments of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunwick, Prince Ed ward's Island, and Netoundland. Hence, there being no longer any Imperial custom-houses for the collection of revenue in those colonies, the return has been framed and prepared to meet the existing state of things. It is to be observed in explanation, that the Lords of the Treasury, with the view of pro viding for certain duties connected with Im perial interests, have deemed it expedient that cer tain officers should be stationed at the principal porta of those colonies, who aro called comptrollers of customs and navigation-laws, with assistants acting under them, whose salaries are entirely defrayed out of the revenue of the United Kingdom. Their duties aro to enforce the provisions of the Aot of the 12th and lath Vict., c 29, entitled " An Act to Amend the Laws in force for the Encouragement of British Shipping and Navigation;" also the provisions of the Imperial Act of 8 and 9 Viet., c. 89, entitled " An Act for the Registering of British Vessels;" and to take care that the various prohibitions and restric tions prescribed by the British Possessions Act of the 8;h and 9th Vict., e. 93, are duly enforced; to verify the manifests of all British vessels clearing for the United Kingdom in the manner required by the Customs' Regulation Act of the Bth and 9th Vict , c. 86, as. 3 and 4 ; and to grant certificates of clearance for all vessels clearing for the United Kingdom, as prescribed by the 36th section of the 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 86, and the 22d and 23c1 stc tions of the British Possessions Act of 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 93, in order to entitle goods to be ontered as being of and from any British possersion (if any benefit attach to such distinction), and to enforce the provisions of the last recited Act, sotions 24, 25, 26, and 27, which prohibit vessels laden with wood goods clearin g ; from parts in the North American Colonies, at certain times of the year, with any part of their cargo on deck, And it is also their duty to observe, so far as the same may relate to the British possessions abroad, the Passengers' Act of the 12 and 13 Viet., c. 33, and 14 c. 1; and the Merchant Seamen's Acts of 7 and 8 Vi , :t ,c. 112, and 13 and 14 Viet. ' c. 93. It forms a materiel part of the duty of the Comp trollers of Customs and Navigation Laws to fur nish the Inspector General of Imports and Exports, and the Registrar-General of Shipping iu London, with the various statistical returns, which are necessary to enable those offieers to prepare the various accounts of trade and navigation which aro annually required to be laid before Parliament, In the Amsterdam Stock .Market on the 28th inst., Dutch Stock had a tendency to • decline, and Austrian and Mexican were lower, as well as Ventzuele.

Owing to the favour able accounts respecting the growing crops, and the large quantity of foreign Flour in first hands, the de mand tor all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at barely Monday's currencies. For forward delivery next to nothing was doing. The imports of foreign Wheat have amounted to 4,530 quarters. Se lected qualities of both red and white were in moderate request, 'at full prices; but all other kinds were mach neglected. In floating cargoes of Wheat and Indian Corn scarcely any transactions were report3d. Grinding Barley moved off somewhat steadily, at full currencies, but other kinds, including Malt, were very dull. We had only a limited inquiry for Oats, neverless prices were supported. Beans and Peas steady, but Flour com manded very little attention. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

(Before Mr. Secondary PoTTEu•) STILWELL V. WHEELER. IMPORTANT DECISIJN AS To Conn .—This was an action on a bill of exchange. Defendant pleaded non acceptance, on which a summons was taken out before Mr. Baron Martin to compel the defendant to admit his signature. The usual order was made, and now put in as evidence, and the jury found for the plaintiff. The plaintiff's Attorney then applied for immediate execution, and for a certificate to entitle the plaintiff to costs, and thus to save the expense of a summons to attend the Judge. The Learned ►SECONDARY said, that as respected the execution it was, except under very particular circum stances, granted immediately; but as to the costs he, could not interfere. The plaintiff must apply to a Judge at Chambers. Piaintiff's Attorney thought that in a case like this the Learned Secondary had or ought to have a discretionary power, for the case had been before the Learned Judge, who had made the order on the admission, and had also ordered that the defendant should pay the costs of the summons, which was necessary in consequence of de fendant having iu the first instance refused to acknow ledge his Land writing. The Learned SECONDARY said that he had no power to grant the certificate, but ono of the Learned Judges would no doubt allow the costs. TESTIMONIAL TO SIR JOHN PATTESON.—(THIS DAY.) A deputation of the common law clerks waited upon Sir John Patteson this afternoon, and presented him with a testimonial of respect and esteem, consist ing of an elaborate silver inkstand. The following address was read on the occasion by Mr. Urquhart, the secretary to the deputation " To the Right Honourable Sir John Patteson, Knight, one of her Majesty's most Honourable Privy council: The common law clerks of the metropolis, to whom as a body your Loidghip has shoittaso much kindly feel ing and courtesy, desire upon your retiiement as a Judge of the Court of Queen's Bench, to testify the sentiments of respect they entertain towards your Lordship. The urbanity experienced by them in your adminis tration of that part of their professional duties transacted at chambers, combined with your perfect knowledge upon all the subjects submitted to your consideration materially aided them in affording satisfaction to the principals, and in obtaining unquestionable justice fo the client; and converted a somewhat unpleasant em ployment into an agreeable occupation. " As humble members of the community they venture to farm an estimate of your Lordship's chorecter, and respectfully to tender their tribute to the epiightness, learning, and logical discrimination which so distin guished your Lordship while at the bar and upon the judgment seat. " They lament that by reason of a single bodily in firmity you should have felt it right to retire from that bench of which you were so long i.‘a ornament, but it is a consolation to know that your valuable services will at least be preserved in that sphere of judicial usefulness to which her Algj,2sty has been graciously pleased to ap point" That, you may you. long he spared to discharge those new duties, and under Divine Providence to enjoy every happiness this life can afford, is the earnest hope of those who have now the honour to address you. " And your Lordship is solicited to accept , in ex pression of thoee !Collage, the testimonial which accoma „ punies thi s a dd ress.
