It is with sentiments of the deepest sorrow that we have to record the death of Baboo DWAREANAUTH TAGORE. This truly illustrious man expired shortly , after six o'clock on Saturday evening, at his resi dence, St. George's Hotel, Albemarle-street. He was in the fifty-second year of his age. His state of health had been for some time precarious, owing to some organic affection connected with the lungs or liver. We had fervently hoped that eminent medical skill would have helped him over his late serious illness, the fatal termination of which will be so generally deplored. DWARKANAUTH TAGORR was the second Brahmin of distinction who had visited this country with the laudable motive of obtaining an accurate knowledge of the means by which the bless ings of civilisation have been so extensively realised, not only here, but in Europe at large, in order to render himself a fitting instrument to assist in the regeneration, political, social, and moral of the mil lions that crowd his native soil. His predecessor in the same noble career was RAMMOHUN ROY, and it is matter of grievous lament that death likewise prevented his return to the East. Both were men of a high order of mind. DWARKANAUTH TAGORE was pre-eminently endowed. He was of the most elevated rank of nobility recognised in India, and was possessed of an immense fortune. The influence of the heads of the Brahmins is known only to those who have resided in the East. When we find men of such exalted position and ample means quitting the land of their birth, where bigoted prejudices have taken a deeper root than in almost any other portion of the earth, and animated by an object the dictate of the most extended philanthrophy, the mind is filled with admiration. No surer means can be taken to wards fraternising the whole human race. Where civilisation is advanced in a country which has just had to feel the force of the conquering arm of an invader, its progress is always slow. The violent passions engendered by war are long in subsiding, and it is incidental to the love of patriotism to suffer de feat upon defeat before the stranger be permitted to exercise his usurped dominion in peace. But when exalted personages have voluntarily incurred sacri fices, and travelled far and wide to illuminate their minds, and then are enabled to return to their com patriots and enlighten them as to the vast power and happiness of other lands, and the means by which they are attainable—the mild influences of reason are most favourably brought into operation, and the seeds of human improvement are no sooner sown and scattered, than the happiest indications of a promising harvest are freely presented. How gigantically was the power of Russia increased under the auspices of PETER the Great, and yet how much was that country indebted for its rapid development to the untiring energy with which her eccentric, but gifted monarch had pursued his researches during his early years in this and other kingdoms. DWARIEA.• NAUTH TAGORE lived to effect much, though it was late in life when he first came amongst us. No doubt his correspondence with his countrymen of rank and affluence will have the effect of inducing some of them to follow his brilliant example. At least such is our hope ; and to find it realised would prove some compensation for an otherwise irreparable loss. Extensively engaged in commerce when very young, and which he carried on with astonishing enterprise, DWARICA.NAUTH TAGORE became sensible of the incalculable benefits arising from a free intercourse between different countries. In Calcutta, which owes so much to his master spirit, the intelligence of his death will be re ceived with the deepest contrition. To him they are indebted for a magnificent public building, the town-hall ; the munificence of his donations to every other institution, educational, charitable, and scientific, was never surpassed. If a commercial panic seized the city, he stood prominently forward, and by virtue of his high character and princely fortune soon restored confidence among the mercantile bodies. He was a frequent guest at the royal table in this country. In his own, the Governor-General mostly resided a portion of the year at one of his palaces. He was an intimate friend of Lord BROUGHAM, and shortly before his death was gratified by two young men, whom he had main tained, at his own charge, at the London University, having greatly distinguished themselves in the me dical school. He was beloved by all, both for his public and private virtues. His death will be gene rally mourned. It is our painful duty this day again to call the public attention to the Draoonic severity, the fearful stringency of the naval code. JAMES SAYER, a young man in the prime of life, has just been sentenced to death, to be hanged by the neck on board such one of her MAJESTY'S vessels, and at such time, as the Lords of the Admiralty shall direct; and the Presi dent of the Court informed the unfor tunate young man that he could offer no hope that the sentence of the Court would not be fully carried out, and exhorted him to prepare himself to meet his doom. And what was the offence of which the wretched culprit had been guilty to call for and deserve the greatest punishment, the extreme penalty, known to our law —a punishment that is never inflicted except in cases of wilful, deliberate, and premeditated murder, and against which, even in such cases, many good men are daily uplifting their voices ? Surely it must have been of a serious character indeed, when no hope could be afforded—when no prospect of mitigation could be held out. The lives of his shipmates must have been seriously endangered by, or through the default of the prisoner, when his crime demanded so fearful an expiation—when the offended laws of his country, or, rather, we should say, of that b t r h a e n i e n h fiioeftitorahnes himself, a painful devoted demanded and i the ignominious n o m ini sacrifice ous of de a h tl i _life, le had actually assaulted two sergeant?, his superior officers ! Start tot, broth e r Englishmen •,express not your incredulity, your scepticism. It is un doubtedly true that, in the nineteenth century, in the year 1846 7 nay, within the very last week, a fellow creature, a fellow countryman, has b een sentenced to suffer death, and is at this moment awaiting his fearful doom, for having i t n w a n m se o r m g e e n an t t o s f . exc i temen t lifted his hand against t T e l r i , e ocircumstances m w a e n r d e not ed of an g a ny,extaregavmrepaut.ed nishchmaernatc-; there was nothing of pretneditation, of intentional offence. The unhappy man had just r to hi s vessel in a disorderly manner, having parted with some of his necessaries on shore; he was forthwith, and while his excitement continued, ordered to be put into irons, doubtless for the purpose of being punished with a flogging for his offence. It • appears that he has twice recently been so punished, the marks cat not having been to y e t (mita. rated from his back, and, as may easily be supposed,his passion, his excitement, was increased, and in a moment of madness he attempted to resist the mandate, he struck the sergeant by whom it was about to be enforced, and afterwards, 'when forced into the fore cockpit, while in the act of resistance, struck another sergeant. -It does not appear that either of the blows were violent, or that the persons struck were in the slightest degree injured, or even hurt. This was the head and front of his offending, and for this he is to be cut off from the face of the earth, to be changed in one moment from a living, a sentient being, full of health and strength, to a breathless corpse. Gracious GOD ! can such things be tolerated in a Christian country, in a civilized nation ? What fancied necessity, what pro cess of reasoning, can possibly justify the atrocity.? Can Englishmen be silent under such cir cumstances ? Will not petitions be poured in both to the Executive and Legislature for a mitigation of punishment—a reprieve to the unfortunate man now under sentence, suffering daily death in horrid antici pation—and also for a revision and radical reform in the articles of war, the code under which such in human barbarity is sanctioned and tolerated ? The subject of naval courts-martial was brought before the House on Friday evening by Mr. WILLIA Am, who has evinced an anxious desire for the ame lioration of the condition of our naval brethren. It could scarcely be supposed that his state ments would be so speedily corroborated. The naval court-martial is final in its nature; there is no appeal from its sentence to any tribunal whatever; there is no power by law to dis allow its judgment. The sentence of a military court-martial must be submitted to the Commander in-Chief, and approved of by him before it can be carried into execution ; but the contrary is the case in the navy : immediately on being pronounced it may be carried into execution ; any mistake or error is irremediable. We sincerely trust that our liberal Governinent will turn their earliest attention to the subject. They have already introduced many and valuable changes, have swept away abuses, and have evinced the strongest anxiety in every possible way to improve the laws and the mode of their administration, to ameliorate the con dition of those they are selected to rule over, to in sure equal and impartial justice to all. We give them every credit for their good intentions, but their hands must be strengthened, they must be aided and supported in their exertions ; the public voice must be heard; a tempe rate but firm, above all, a universal demand must be made for justice to our naval and military brethren. Every instance of the abuse of power, of the infliction of inequitable and disproportionate punishment, must be proclaimed, published, and com mented on. Our representatives must make themselves heard in Parliament, public meetings must be held, and petitions adopted. There are many and formidable prejudices to be encountered, but a good, a noble cause, tealously supported, must even , tually triumph, and be crowned with success. So long as a necessity exists for an army and navy, every principle of justice, of expediency, demands that we should offer every inducement to the best men to give their services, and to remove the causes that have hitherto made such persons unwilling to do so. The ex-King of Holland, Louis BONAPARTE (Count DE ST. LEu), the father of Prince Louis NAPOLEON, died at Leghorn on the 24th ult. of a fit of apoplexy. by which he had been attacked the day before. It is stated positively in letters from Rome of the 20th ult., that the appointment of Cardinal Gizzi, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has defini tively taken place, and that he is at the same time charged with the supreme direction of the Govern ment. The treaty of commerce between Holland and Belgium was signed at the Hague on the 29th July. Letters from Leipsic of the 26th announce that Prince JOHN, the brother of the King of SAxoNY, has resigned the command of the Saxon National Guards. . Madrid Journals of the 26th and 27th have been received ; their contents are unimportant. The grand ball on the evening of the 25th, in honour of the fete-day of Queen CHRISTINA, went off with great eclat. _ MADRID BOLSA, JULY 28.—The Three per Cents. closed at 34% for cash; the Five per Cents. at 21%; the Debt without Interest at 6%. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Bulletin des Lois publishes a royal ordonnance, convoking the Chamber of Peers as a court to try HENRY, and nominates M. HEnEaT,'Procureur-Gene ral of the Cour Royale of Paris, to be Procureur- General of the Court of Peers, to be assisted by M. BRESSON, Avocat-General of the Cour Royale; the Keeper of the Archives of the Chamber of Peers to be registrar, assisted by his Deputy. Duke PASQUIER, the Chancellor, arrived in Paris on Thursday, and went to the Conciergerie to interrogate HENRY. The assassin discharged two pistols at once ; they were small pocket pistols ; the distance at which he fired was so great that it is considered that he could not have intended to kill the KING, as it was physically impossible with such weapons, and at such a distance, to have done his MAJESTY any injury. Indeed HENRY distinctly disavows any such intention. " I merely wished," saidhe, " to open the road to the guillotine." He employed sixteen men in his manufactory, but his affairs were very much embarrassed, and he was on the eve of stopping payment. We doubt much whether the eclat of a trial before the Cham ber of Peers is not calculated to excite the regicidal monomania which at present appears to affect certain weak heads periodically. An ordinary trial before an ordinary tribunal, and a degrading punishment, such as exposure and the galleys, would be more likely to check it than the Chamber of Peers and the guillotine. On this subject we find the following very sensible observations in the Presse " The attempt made on the King's life on Wednesday is the act of a madman; the author of it escapes from public indignation by contempt. This wild undertaking can only be explained by the reason which he appears to have him self given—that he was tired of life, and, being determined to end his days, he preferred a tragical and striking denoue ment to an obscure suicide. This explanation is another proof that with wretches of this species it is perhaps dan gerous to surround with forms of two solemn a nature the trial which ends in cutting them away from the bosom of so ciety. The desire of playing a part is sometimes so acute for some depraved natures that they will accept the most odious and infamous one. A dissipated fellow, worn down with debauchery and shame, reduced to terminate at the bottom of the Seine a life useless to all, and a burden to himself, may allow himself to be led away by the abominable cele brity that is too generally attributed to the assassins who fire on the King. Perhaps it would be better that a speedy and vulgar punishment, deprived of all preliminary prepa ration, should take from them the destestable satisfaction which they make the object of their ambition. It is in that way that things pass in England and Germany, and the re currence of such frightful attempts is there much less fre quent than amongst us. But as the Court of Peers is already directed to judge the matter, we shall not urge any farther reflections, which could not now prevent the trial from going regularly on. Only on what concerns ourselves we shall avoid directing attention to a culprit who only deserves to meet with universal disgust. We shall merely publish such details as may tend to specify the nature of the attempt, without adding anything to the wretched renown of the assassin." It appears that on Wednesday, shortly after the attempt of HE NUT, three young men were arrested in the garden of the Tuileries, who were uttering seditious cries. The Gazette des Tribunaux of Sa turday gives the following account of the trans action : At a little distance from the spot where Henry was standing three young men exhibited strong marks of im patience at the King's not coming out on the balcony, that the concert might begin. They appeared to have drunk more wine than usual at dinner, and their conversation be came in a short time exceedingly insulting to the King and Royal Family. The persons who stood near them gradually drew back to avoid a quarrel which they seemed not to be unwilling to engage in. It was only afterwards, when the rumour was spread about that the ling had been fired at, that the persons who had heard the language of the three young men were struck with the gravity of the cir cumstance. On returning to the place where they had left them, they found them still utterin g a b u sive language against the King, but ignorant, as they afterwards declared, of what had taken place. The young men were then arrested : one, nineteen years of age, is a shopkeep er ' s c lerk ; a second, of the same age, i 9 a writer in an avoue's office ; and the third, aged twenty, is similarly employed. When taken before the Commissary of Police of the quarter of the Tuileries, they did not deny the language attributed to them, but ascribed it to having taken too much wine at dinner. They denied hav ing any ill inte ntions a g ainst the King or his family, and when asked if they had not been put forward by some poli tical party, one of them, in order to show that no motive of p p r e o r d s o u n c a e l d a ticketinterest h o a f d t.h h p e r o m m o p n t t e . d d e t _h p e m i t teo fora c t a a s e they oat w h h a pei d ycohs d wa o hl e n aor e def , sentbt b en i tti p ;r l pledged to Prefectureto4founii ocfr Q t vo d aA s n f df o 9 r urp t l h ati4c e ei d l i n cua n .ty e ti r uh .

The same journal contains the following on the subject of the false reports constantly propagated at the Bourse for stock-jobbing, purposes : " For some time past, some very serious things have been going on at the Bourse, and we are astonished that they have not yet attracted the attention of the authorities. Nearly every day the prices of the public securities, and particu larly those of railroad shares, are, alternately, by means of false news, raised or lowered according to the views of the speculators who have recourse to these culpable manoeuvres. This, it appears, is done without any person being aware that it is an offence punishable with fine and imprisonment. A few days ago, for instance, one of the journals in its Stock Exchange article, spoke, as of a very simple affair, of a piece of false news which caused a fall of 15 to 20 francs, and stated this momentary fall had permitted those who, in the language of the place,_ are called venckurs a decosvert, to realise their profits, There is at the Bourse a commissary of police whose duty it is to discover and denounce the authors of these manoeuvres. Is it possible that he eau he ignp;•,;.r.4 of what everybody else knows? It is said that he has or ganised, a very active surveillance against th. 3 stealers of handkerchiefs and snuff-boxes. This is very good, but thieves of this kind are not the iir f ost dangerous, nor are they, perhaps, the most culpable." The KING, Qtmz)i, and Royal Family arrived at Eu on Thursday night. They were received every whom on the route with the most enthusiastic ex pressions of loyalty and devotion. Accounts have been received from Algiers to the 25th. All was tranquil at that date, although the province of Tit tery and the whole of the Medeah division was suffer ing from want of corn. The Allhbar publishes a letter from Tlemcen of the 15th ult., which says.,— q Three hundred and sixty feet of fine olive plantations were burnt down, but the cause of the fire had not been dis covered, The harvest was nearly all got in, and is much less abundant than in the preceding years, which Is to be attributed to the scarcity of rain this season. The heat is in tense—at two o'clock on the 15th it was 52 degrees, 2 degrees greater than in Senegal." The elections commenced on Saturday.

The inquiry into the cause of the death of Frederick John White, a private in the 7th Hussars, or " Queen's Own," whose death is alleged to have been caused by severe mili tary punishment, was resumed this morning, by Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the George the Fourth, Hounslow-heath. The interest in the death of the unfortunate man had in no degree subsided, for, notwithstanding the inauspicious state of the morning, the inquest-room was crowded, and several persons had gathered about the doors of the inn. Mr. Clark attended, as on last Monday, on behalf of the officers of the regiment. Mr. Mills, the Deputy-coroner, assisted Mr. Wakley. Mr. WAtLEv asked Mr. Clark if he had any witnesses to call ? Mr. Clark said he had not ; at any rate he was not aware at that moment that it would be necessary to do so. Mr. Waxen , said he had received a letter from a person liv ing at Old Brentford, giving some information on the sub ject, and as he gave his name, he thought, in justice, that the jury should hear it. Mr. Mills then, at the request of the coroner, read the following letter : " Sir,—With a view to the furtherance of the ends of justice, by a searching investigation, I submit the following circumstances to your consideration, knowing that I cannot place them in better hands. On Monday morning last, at eight o'clock, 27th instant, the son of Mr. Goom, a newsman of Brentford, was in Fleet-street with his papers in his cart, coming towards Brentford, when a soldier of the 7th llussars, or Queen's Own, asked him to give him a lift, as he wanted to get to Hounslow in time for the inquest. The boy told him to get into the cart, and hastened his speed, seeing the soldier was afraid he should be too late. On the road the soldier told young Goom that about the com mencement of the inquest he was told he might have a furlough of five weeks, if he liked, to go and see his friends, which he accepted. When he arrived in Kent among his friends, and told them what he knew about the flogging of White, his friends told him he ought to be at the inquest to state what he knew to the jury, and they made a subscriptions to furnish him with money to defray his expenses, and he came to London from Kent on Sunday by a van. During this conversation they had got to Kensington Barracks; a 'soldier seeing the other soldier in the cart called out, saying, Well, how are you getting on ?' The answer was, lam going to the inquest.' But as they were coming into Hammersmith, a sergeant from Kensington Barracks, on horseback, came after them at full speed, and called out to young Goom to stop, I command you to stop, or I will immediately give you both into cus tody.' The sergeant then, after he had stopped the cart, inquired ef persons passing by where the station-house was, and was informed up the lane. He then ordered young Goom to turn out of the read and drive up to the station-house, which the boy did, but when they had got near it, the sergeant told the soldier, if he would go quietly back to the barracks he would not give him in charge to the police, but if he at tempted to run away, he (the sergeant) 'would gallop over him.' The boy was then permitted to come home with the cart and papers. The sergeant and soldier, he supposes, re turned back to Kensington Barracks, and I have not heard anything further what became of the soldier, whether he is in prison or at large, and I have just heard the soldier at the barracks call him by the name of ' Simmons.'—Yours, &c. " Old Brentford, Aug. 1,1846. T. NORMANTON." James How, the private of the 7th Hussars referred to, said, he went away without leave to see his mother in Kent ; he had a ride in the cart, as stated in the letter, but he said nothing to the boy about the flogging. He got up at St. James's-park and rode to Hammersmith, where the sergeant stopped him. He was not present at the flogging, because he had not received his clothes. By a juror—Was punished fourteen days by solitary con finement for deserting. Witness—Had only been seven weeks in the regiment. Saw White go into the hospital after receiving punishment from one of the windows of the barracks; he saw him also in the hospital, but he did not hear White speak, neither did he see his back. Mr. Normanton, who was in the room, said be received the statement from the boy's father, and that a part of the statement which the letter contained had been corroborated by the evidence of the witness himself. Colonel Whyte here entered the inquest room, and the letter was handed to him. John Goom, the boy alluded to in the letter, was then called—He said, on Monday last, as he was getting his papers in Fleet-street, he was asked by a soldier to give him a lift to Hammersmith, which he did. On the way the soldier stated that he had been present at the flogging of White. On passing through Hammersmith, a sergeant came galloping after them, and asked the soldier to go back with him, or if he refused he would give him in charge, but lie would not do so if he went with him. The soldier accordingly left him, and went with the sergeant. (The witness here iden tified the soldier How as the person who came in the cart with him.) How stated that he was going to the George the Fourth, at Hunslow, to give evidence. Colonel Whyte said How was not attested until White had been punished. Sergeant John Darley was then called and examined— He stated that he was a lance sergeant in the 7th Hussars. He did not make any complaint against the de ceased until he was confined. He complained of him on the let of June to the orderly officer, Mr. Russell, for being struck across the breast with a poker. He (White) struck him on the evening of the Ist of June, about a quarter past nine, in the barrack-room at Hampton Court. Was orderly sergeant at the time he struck him. Went into the room at eight o'clock. On going round the room, calling the roll the first time, White answered to his name, and he saw him on going round a second time, on account of some of the men being absent, and observed White standing near the bed, partly dressed, with a poker in his hand. His hand was be hind him—the one which held the poker. I ordered him to put it down, but he illd not do so. I ordered him a second and third time, but he did not obey. I ordered the orderly corporal of the troop to take a file of men and confine him. As soon as I had given the order he knocked me down with the poker; the blow struck across the chest. I recovered myself, and ran out of the room, and I saw no mere of the deceased until he was in the custody of the guard. I con sidered the deceased drunk. I was hurt by the blow, and was in bed two days under medical treatment in consequence of it. He did not say anything to me before lie struck me with the poker. I had had no previous quarrel with him, and I was on friendly terms with him, nor had there been any previous dissension. I never spoke six words to him except as matter of duty. I had not been long in the troop with him. In fact, theme was no ill will between us. He never got into that state without knowing what he was about. Ile was often the worse for liquor, and was, I under stand, a quarrelsome man. I considered him a respectable man. lam not acquainted with his writing. I did not raise my hand to strike bins before he struck me. I gave evidence before the court-martial. White pleaded guilty to the charge. (The inquiry bad not terminated when our report left.) in The oyster season commences to-morrow morning, at six o'clock, at Billingsgate and litingerfortl Markets, with the pro miss of a more abundant supply, and of a superior quality, to that of several years past. The custom of opening the hatches of the oyster-boats for sale, as the clock struck twelve on the night of the 4th of August, is now discontinued, in consequence of the loss of life that invariably occurred through the cleftleo crewctiva Lute the hosts t 49 ClsrUlm pf MONEY and CONMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton and Share-markets at Liverpool, on Saturday, were still closed for the holidays. The accounts received from the country this morning repre sent that the storm of Saturday afternoon, in almost all parts of the country, within forty or fifty miles, was very severe, and that the damage to property has been great indeed—nay, unprecedented. The crops have suffered in most places very considerably, and, in some fields, the wheat has been laid as flat as though a roller had passed over it. The Corn Market was very fully attended this morning, and prices of wheat were firm. About 500 quarters of new wheat were on show, awl mostly were sold At the full market value. The advices from the manufacturing districts received to day state that an improvement has been imparted to the markets fcr Manchester goods by the last news from the United States, the anticipation being that modifications in the Tariff Bill favourable to this country will be made. " But (states the circular of Messrs. M‘Nair and Co.) ce sidering all circumstances, prices have bo— generally well sustaincd, Sieenne has been partial and trifling. In yarns It has been greater ' but confined chiefly t o some numbets of water-twist, and counts and qualities of mule adapted for India." By some of the recent private accounts obtained from Cal ova, we are advised thus : i 4 ilioney is so scarce that from 20 to 25 per cent. interest was charged for discounting first-rate papers, and even at that rate little money was to be had, as the banks and rich natives declined parting with their cash from a general want of confidence." There are not any late colonial arrivals announced in the City this morning, In the Consol Market a slight tendency to decline has been shown this morning. Consols for the Account opened :It 96, but are now at 961/ s . For Transfer to-morrow the price is dull at 9534. ENO - leper-bills are at Bs. premium only; India Bonds at 225. premium; and the Three-and•a-Quarter per Cents. at 98. Very little business is in progress. In the Foreign Funds there has been a very godel sprinkling of business this morning. A slight improvement has taken place in the I3raailian Five per Cents., which now fectch 90, and the New Bonds 88 1 / 2 ; Portuguese Four per Cents. continue very steady at 45 1 / 2 . Spanish Consols have rallied to 26 1 / 2 ; but the Three per Cents. are flat at 36 1 %. The Dutch Two and- a-Half per Cents. were firm at 59% %; and the Four per Cents. at 94 1 / 2 . The demand for the lines of established Railways are in creasing, as well as for the scrip of selected new projects. To day prices are generally on the rise. BRITISII FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK.

F res h up only a o , neat came to hand, coas t w i se as cstrriage well as by land samples; yet we had on offer about 500 quarters of .row Wheat from Essex and Kent, in excellent condition, and which sold at prices varying from 48s to 56s per quarter. In old qualities a fair average amsunt of business was doing, and the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight, and at which a fair clearance was effected,. owing, in a great measure, to the prevailing changeable weather. The show of Foreign Wheat, on which duty had been paid, was good, but not so extensive as we have noticed on some previous occasions. Molders being firm, only a limited business was transacted ; yet last week's figures were supported in every instance. Nothing on offer in bond. From most parts the accounts received to-day respecting the progress of the harvest work are very flattering. The show of Barley was again small. The best grinding parcels suoved off steadily at late rates, but all other kinds hung heavily on hand. We had upwards of 11,000 quarters of Malt on offer, hence the trade was in a very inactive state, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath. previous currencies. From our own coasts, as well as front Scotland and Ireland, the supply of Oats was small, but a large quantity was on offer from abroad, Good English feed, as well as Scotch potato qualities, were in demand at full prices. In all other kinds next to nothing was doing. The sale for Beans was heavy at late rates, and the same may be said of Peas. In Flour exceedingly little was doing at our quotations.

During the past week the imports of live stock into London have consisted of 250 Oxen Rug Oows, 803 Sheep, 250 Lambs, and 32 Calves from RotterdArn ; 200 Oxen and Cows, 400 Sheep, 500 Lambs, and 10 Calves fpoin Harlengin ; 60 Oxen, 100 Sheep, and 20 Pigs fre:iii Holland 1 'while, at 111111, they amounted tq 108 Cows, 53 Oxen, 450 Sheep, 15 Calves, and 26 Pigs from Holland ; and, at Plymouth, 40 Oxen from Spain. To-day, we had on offer about 600 Foreign Beasts, 2,000 Sheep and Lambs, and. 20 Calves, in most excellent condition ; indeed, this was the 4 , 4 collection of foreign stock we have yet witnessed. The demand, however, was heavy, and prices were not support, .A portion of the Beasts and Sheep had been fed in the Anarsh es in the neighbonrhcod of London, and turned out extreinelY well, evecially the Sheep, which had been principally fed on corn. From our own grazing districts the fresh arrivals of Beasts wore extensive, the time of year considered, and of very prime quality ; however, the Deef trade was excessively dull, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last, of 2d per Sibs. ; the highest figure for the best Scots being only 3s 10d per 81bs., and a clearance was not effected. About 1,000 Short Horns came to hand from the nothern counties ; 900 Scots, Homebred!, and Short Horns from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Canahridgeshire ; 500 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c., from the Western and Midland districts ; 300 of various kinds from other parts of England, and 100 Scots from Scotland. With Sheep we were heavily supplied, yet the Mutton trade was to lerably steady, and previous rates were well supported, the primest old Downs realising 4s 4d per filbs. Although the number of Lambs was large, the sale for that description of stock was brisk, at full prices.

We have been fairly supplied with London-slaughtered meat, a large proportion of which—estimated at nearly one hundred tons—has been spoiled. Generally speaking, the demand has been heavy, and prices have had a downward tendency. Several carcasses of foreign stock have appeared on sale.

Although the quantity of Hops on offer is by no means extensive, the demand for all descriptions is heavy, and prices are with diffi culty supported. The duty is called 145,0001. WOOL. Since Monday last the imports of wool in the port of London have beef' on a very limited scale. In the private contract market ex ceedingly little business has been transacted in any kind of wool, yet we can notice no alteration in the quotations. TALLOW. There is no alteration in this market since our last ; prices are the same, both on the spot and for arrival. In new Tallow there has been rather more inquiry, but very little business.

The Committee on this Bill met to-day at eleven o'clock, Lord Winchester in the chair. This Bill was opposed by the London and Birmingham Company. Mr. Sergeant Waarream opened the case for the promoters. He said, he trusted that he would be able to show the Committee that the present Bill was entitled to their Lordships' favourable consideration. There was a large population at Luton, which had latterly increased ; there was an immense manufacture in the article of straw plait, which was imported from the principal houses of that place to Italy, America, and New York. The present conveyance of that article to London was peculiarly disadvantageous, being compara tively slow and dear. In the House of Commons they were opposed only by the London and Birmingham Company, who, however, did not appear against the Bill. They did, however, appear on the pre sent occasion ; and accordingly there was a petition from certain landowners along the line, complaining of injury, but he would be able to show their Lordships that there was no residential injury in flicted. There was also a petition from the inabitants of St. Albans ; but as his Learned Friends on the opposite side had already obtained a locus stanch, he thought it unnecessary to observe on that subject anything further than that a number of those who had petitioned had withdrawn their names, and among those was the mayor of the town. In fact, there was a petition of some fifty individuals against the Bill, while the number who signed petitions in favour of the Bill amounted to four huedred and fifty. With these observations he would leave the case in the hands el the Committee, and would pro ceed to call witnesses to prove the preamble of the Bill. Mr. Vyse was examined, and stated that he was a straw bonnet manufacturer, resident at Luton. lle employed himself 300 persons in making straw bonnets, while the entire number of persons em ployed in the same manufacture at Luton, and for a radius of three miles, was 4,530. This was quite exclusive of the manufacture of the plait, which he would not attempt to estimate. The money turned at Luton in this article amounted to 500,0001. per annum. The whole monetary transactions carried on at Luton was upwards of 2,000,0001. In 1839 there was but one bank at Luton, which was attended but twice a week, but now, at that town, there were two banks ,which were attended every day. The population of the town at the last census was 7,748, while from the calculations he had made, which were deduced from the increase in the number of buildings, there was at present a population of 11,248. There were a variety of matters used in the manufactures carried on at Luton, and the present mode of transit to and trom London, was most inconvenient, as wellas be tween St. Albans and Luton, at the former of which towns there was also a large trade carried on. The feeling of Luton was in favour of the railway, which was evinced not only by petitions but by public meetings. Cross-examined by Mr. AusTnv—The plait manufacture centered in Luton. Was seventeen years resident Luton; during that period there had been au increase in the number of manufaetorieS to forty-seven. MONSTER RHUBARB LEAF. - - _ - - We have received at our office the largest specimen of a leaf from the rhubarb plant that has, perhaps, ever been grown in this country. It was cut yeste r d a y even i ng from the garden of Mr. Dean, of Carrington, nearly ten miles from Manchester. To afford our readers some notion of the extraordinary dimensions of this vegetable curiosity, we I may mention that, from the extremity of the stalk to the opposite edge of the leaf, it measures no less than five feet ! The circumference of the stem is eight inches; the length of the stem is two feet and a half ; the diameter of one of the ribs of the leaf is an inch and three-quarters ; the length of the central rib one yard and eight inches; and the circumference of the leaf itself upwards of eleven yards and a half! From these calculations some con ception may be formed of the solidity and weight of this very wonderful piece of Nature's handicraft. In ancient times it might have screened several millions of elves from the moon beams, supposing those luxurious gentlemen ever condescended to disport themselvesin akitch en-garden !

HOUSES IN lIOLBORN.—Last night, on DUNDALK F Fwithoutr A k L ia o r E T L w o .E p o p C o T s l ß O io N n . between the hours of eleven and twelve, an accident of a most fear ful character, attended with a serious destruction of property, took place in High Holborn, and which was nearly attended with fatal results to a dozen persons. It appears from inquiries made on the spot, that the inmates of the house numbered is, in the occupation of a Mr. J. Conidridge, a carpenter and undertaker, had, during the early part of the day, noticed that the different doors ill the building were breed considerably below their usual level. This gave rise to a suspicion that the foundations of the premises had given way, and accordingly the residents had determined upon watching the place, to see if any other portion sank. At the time above stated, whilst not fewer than a dozen persons were in their beds asleep, the land lord perceived that the plaster of the ceilings was falling in one or two of the rooms upon the floors. That circumstance convinced him that the place was rapidly sinking. Without a moment's loss of time he raised an alarm, and having aroused the whole of the in mates, they succeeded in effecting a safe retreat in their night dresses. Scarcely, however, had they reached the street door than the whole building, four stories high, fell with a tremendous crash into the road, carrying with It the adjoining house, in the tenure of Mr. Ta,•;g, a jeweller. For some time the neighbourhood was ob scured with dust, which gave rise to a report that the place was on fire, and forthwith the escape of the Royal Society for the Pro tection of Life from Fire and the engines were sent for. the Fortu natelysamtleieiNnVdhiOelaetioefriethoef i d n a m ng a e te v s e o e f 3, th ir o c la e t t t i e ld r vi b d uilding bad noticed therefore Hilly prepared, and at the time ve o l f es t t h g e t e he w waiting in Middle-row.
