A most important meeting of the friends and sup porters of Lord JOHN RII.9SELL took place on Satur day, at his Lordship's house, at Chesham-place, which was numerously attended by Members of the House of Commons. Two questions were taken into con sideration on the occasion : first, the Irish Coercion Bill ; and, secondly, the Sugar Duties. On both these questions it was, by a very large majority—indeed, almost unanimously--determined that the Minis terial policy should be opposed. It was decided that, on the second reading of the Coercion Bill this day, it should be moved, as an amendment, that the Bill should be read a second time this day six months. It was left to the Irish Members to decide by whom the amendment should be moved and seconded, and it was subsequently decided that Lord Jowl should himself be requested to bring forward the amendment, and that in the event of his refusing to do so, Sir W. SOMERVILLE should be selected for the duty, with Colonel RAwDON as a seconder. The altered state of the times, the vast reduction in the amount of crime in Ireland, the restoration of peace and tranquillity in that country, and the fa vourable fruits which have sprung up from kindness and conciliation, and the introduction of just and equitable measures, have removed the necessity which formerly existed for the passing of an Act of such stringency, so restrictive of the liberty of the subject. Nothing but an urgent and impera tive necessity, the absolute impossibility of suppressing the fearful bloodshed and outrage that prevailed in that country, could possibly justify the adoption of such a measure. Sir ROBERT PEEL himself on this day fortnight admitted the vast improvement that had taken place, and such being the case, he surely is jus tified in postponing or abandoning a measure no longer required by the altered circumstances of the country. Were it at this moment in full operation it should be forthwith suppressed. Such was the opinion to which we gave expression on the above admis sion of the Premier. We cannot, therefore, blame the Liberal party for arriving at a similar conclusion. The second question on which it was determined to oppose the Government was on the Sugar Duties. It will be recollected that a motion on this subject was made by Lord &NEON while the Whig Ministry was in power, when his Lordship proposed a resolu tion deprecatory of the equalisation of the duties on slave-grown and free-labour sugar. The Whigs, acting on the free-trade principle, resisted this mo tion, and they have now determined to pursue a course favourable to the reception of slave-grown sugar. We do, however, most sincerely trust, that whatever may be the result of the divisions, that Sir R. PEEL will suffer nothing to interfere with or stay the pro gress of the great measure of free trade for which he has already made such wonderful sacrifices ; indeed he has already pledged himself to the country, that under any circumstances he will persevere until it shall have received the final sanction of the Legisla ture. It would, indeed, be a lamentable catastrophe, if the vessel which had nearly terminated its voyage in safety, having escaped the various shoals and quick sands, the storms and hurricanes, with which she was threatened, should be shipwrecked within sight of her harbour, when all danger had apparently been surmounted. We cannot believe that the just and well-founded hopes of the nation are destined to meet with so great a disappointment, or that the Premier should sacrifice to any obstinacy the glorious position he has achieved for himself. A fair opportunity is afforded to him, of which we trust he may avail himself, of stating his intention of not pressing on the Coercion Bill unless the re newal of disturbance and outrage should again demand the carrying out of its provisions. Such a line of conduct would be hailed with the warmest approbation of the country, and would fix Sir ROBERT most firmly in power; but, should he un fortunately still be determined to persevere, he should make up his mind that, although defeated, he would still continue in office, and retain the present Par liament until the final and complete triumph of the Corn and Customs Bills. Such a course would in volve neither dishonour or disgrace. It would, were any required, afford an additional proof of the truth and sincerity of the motives by which the Prime Minister is actuated, of the depth of his devotion to the glorious cause, for which he has already made such sacrifices. The protectionists are closely watching the progress of events —their last weak hope rests in a division taking place between the free-traders, and the Ministry abandoning their offices before the final success of the measure. A meeting of the monopolist party also took place on Saturday, at which a re newed confidence was manifest. The cause of pro tection was declared to be by no means desperate, and it was determined that an attempt should be made in Committee to perpetuate the operation of the di minished sliding-scale; many predictions were boldly made as to the result of the ensuing elections which they blindly hoped would give a new strength to the advocates of monopoly ; in this they will find themselves bitterly disappointed ; the feelings of our countrymen are • too deeply interested, their expectations have been too strongly excited to render it possible that they could now endure a defeat, or even a postpone ment of the measures from which they confidently look for such valuable results ; they will evince a quiet and steady determination, which must command success, and will teach the monopolists that they are reckoning without their host in looking for any addition of strength as the result of an appeal to the country. Lord FiTzwiLLlAm, on Friday evening, brought forward the resolutions of which he had given notice previous to the recess, and to which we adverted at some length at the beginning of last week. Hi s Lordships proposals were : Ist. That the House should not pass any railway Bill, giving power to raise capital either by the issue of shares, or by borrowing money, which had or might come up from the House of Commons, until all such Bills should be read a second time. 2d. That the House should appoint a Select Com mittee to take all such Bills into consideration, to classify them according to their public importance, and to select such as the Committee might deem it expedient to pass. 3d. That it be an instruction of the Committee no to select Bills by which it was proposed to raise a capital exceeding 60,000,0001., whether by issuing shares or borrowing money. 4th. That a message should be sent to the Com mons requesting a conference on the subject of such railway Bills as • had originated in their Lordships' House, and are now pending in the Commons. These resolutions, it will be seen, were, after some discussion, withdrawn by his Lordship, and we may congratulate the persons interested in the several Bills still unpassed on the honourable course pursued by the Ministry. Lord DALHOUSIE adopted the argument which we put forward on Tuesday last as to the injustice of casting any new impediment in the way of the several companies. He stated that however desirable it might be to limit railway enterprise in general, and however ready he might have been at the beginning of the session to adopt some resolutions similar to those proposed by the Noble Lord, he could not, under existing circumstances, and what had taken place in both Houses, consistently with common justice and fairness, adopt the recommendation. He showed how the subject of railway legislation had been brought before both Houses at the very commencement of the session, and the appointment of a Committee to con• sider the best means of dealing with the question, and the report of that Committee, in which, after stating that there were 562 railway Bills standing for consideration, and adverting to the arrangements ' which might b e m ade for their consideration, pro ceededommittee haveto say, U lu jntdedreemtheedse it c advisablei rcu m s t an n t c o e s, recom mend yo to the R ouse to mu r make any selection from, or to place any limitation on , a the number of the railway schemes to be submitt e d to e considerati o n liament during the present session. , of Par , That opinion House, and it was was received and confirmed by th e distinctly declar ed that there sho uld be no selectio n or restriction. On the faith of that declaration, the several companies had proceeded, immen se sums of Bills h a d money had been ex p ended, many of the ac t ua lly received the final sanction of the legislature ; and it would, as we h av e alread stated, ave been f the Legisla a breach of faith on the part o y h that c ture, if in the teeth of that resolution ty should ould now select and restrict the number. All be done consistently with honour and justice had been done in the Bill, and in the sessional orders which had been adopted an opportunity was afforded to the shareholders of interposing a veto to the fur ther progress of the Bill in which they were inte rested. A locus penitentiffl was afforded. An active step should be taken by them, showing that they were still desirous that the undertaking should be proceeded with—that they were not deterred, by the altered aspect of the times or the depressed state of the money market, from persevering in their ob ject; and we do not see how the Legislature could fairly interpose any additional check. It would, in deed, be a highly dangerous principle to adopt to fix an amount of capital beyond which the Home would not sanction any enterprise. What might in one state of the monetary affairs of the country be a safe and useful investment might in another be a most dangerous expenditure, and one likely to de range the money market, and produce great mischief. Not that we take the gloomy view of the affair which has been taken by many intelligent and able men. A s we have already stated, the money is not to be withdrawn from the circulation, or sent out of the country. On the contrary, it will be circulated with increased rapidity, oftener changing hands, and pro ducing additional activity in our markets, a new and improved demand for our manufactures, an in creased consumption of our own productions, and a consequent increase in those very productions. Thr season of difficulty and danger, of monetary derange. ment, and consequent distress, has, as we conceive, nearly passed away. It was not produced by the amount of expenditure to be incurred, but by the large amount withdrawn from circulation, and locked up in the hands of the ACCOUNTANT GENERAL by the operation of the standing orders. Had these orders admitted the lodging of Stock, Ex chequer Bills, or other sufficient securities in place of money, we are quite convinced that there would have been no extraordinary depression, no tightness in the money market, or want of pecuniary assistance. It was not the contemplated expenditure of sixty or even a hundred millions spread over a period of three years, which term might easily have been extended to five years, or still more, without injury to any one, that occasioned the mischief, but the actual locking up of 15,000,0001. sterling, and the reduction of the circulating medium of the country by that vast amount. In consequence thereof, the Bank ceased to afford the usual accommodation to their customers, and trade became paralysed to a certain extent from the want of that credit so essential to its well being. That moneywillnow shortlybe released either on the final suc cess or rejection of the different measures, and as a matter of course it will speedily be made applicable to the general purposes of the country, and an increased confidence will be manifested. Those persons who have weathered the storm, under the extraordinary difficulties with which they were encompassed, will have afforded such evidence of their stability and solvency as to remove any distrust on the part of the capitalists. And, without pretending to any extraor dinary degree of foresight, we may venture to prophecy that a geater degree of accommodation will be afforded in proportion to the want of it so recently exhibited, and prosperity be restored, and credit placed on a sounder basis. We trust that no further attempts will be made to throw difficulties in the way of the railway companies, but we think that the time should in every case be extended for the final completion of the works. If this was th case, there would not be the neeessity for the directors either making callsZat an unfavourable time, and thereby depressing the value of the shares, which it is their bounden duty to keep up by every means in their power, or of abandoning a promising scheme, in which a heavy expenditure had already taken place. This might easily be effected by an act similar to the general acts passed during the last Session ; . it would also be very desirable if it was provided that no new call should be made without the assent of the shareholders at a general meeting, similar to that required by the recent resolutions. Such a provision would be no violation of faith on the part of the Legislature, but would be a beneficial extension of the principle on which the new sessional orders were founded. Should it be in the contemplation of the Government to introduce any new measure respecting railways, it should speedily be brought forward, and its principle be declared, so that no persons interested may be taken by surprise, by any additional regula tions promulgated for the first time at the commence ment of the ensuing:session. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Coupled with the fact of the re-appearance of the Coercion Bill for a second reading this evening, the meeting of Liberal representatives in Chesham-place, on Saturday, portends either some extraordinary ca tastrophe or some extraordinary concession in our Legislature. As under all circumstances of similar importance a variety of opinions and a multiplicity of rumours have been disseminated among the multi tude as to the probable issue of these occurrence!, Every one is dubious respecting the ulterior conse quences of their influence, though all coincide in an ticipating some remarkable denouement after so many remarkable preliminaries. Whether the present Ministry will he so far defeated in the division upon the Curfew Bill as to necessitate their withdrawal from office ; or whether the lesser half of the present session cannot be sustained by a Government power ful enough in its moral influence to carry a measure of such peculiar vastness during the com mencement of this same session, are the questions now agitating the popular mind, and constitute for the moment a more seductive object of speculation than the railwayphobia itself. Nor can the position of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administration at this critical juncture fail to ensure the sympathy of the least sus ceptible, or to arouse the interest of the least reflective amongst our countrymen. The origin of this sudden indecision as to the stability of his Government is simple enough, but it is also striking and instructiv e enough in all conscience. Vague suspicions and shadowless inuendoes have repeatedly been promul gated by those misguided or obtuse-minded observers who were desirous of the Premier's discomfiture ; but not until within a very few days had these rumours assumed anything like a palpable or sub stantial form. What was hitherto a scarcely per ceptible vapour has gradually accumulated into a storm-cloud ; and from the resolutions which were almost unanimously adopted on Saturday at Lord JOHN RusseLL's residence, its dormant violence is expected to burst forth at every instant, and the public attention is rivetted upon the Par liament House, anticipative of those political deto nations which are expected to hurl Sir ROBERT and his colleagues from authority. Some are looking with sanguine satisfaction at the day-dawning of power to Lord JOHN, some with despondency at the probable retirement of the present Prime Minister. Within possibly the present week, unquestionably within the ensuing fortnight, the result of this agita tion will become apparent, either in the perpetua tion of the present Ministry, or in its final overthrow. " A peerage or 'Westminster Abbey !" was the battle cry of NELSON, and one equally resolute appears to be the ruling motto of the PEEL Administration. Supposing, however, that the most disastrous defeat is destined to be the portion of Sir ROBERT, either upon the Coercion Bill or the Sugar Duties, or upon both together, he will never theless fall amidst the jubilation of one of the greatest conquests ever achieved by statesman, with the grateful voices of his countrymen still ringing in his ears, and after having imperishably linked the re collection of his genius with the acquisition of free trade and the commencement of universal peace. In waiting, therefore, for the preservation of official power to himself, or for its transmission to the hands of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we must acknow ledge that we do so with less trepidation as to the consequences of this occurrence than possibly was ever experienced by journalist when awaiting the mutations of authority. In either case the interests of the People, the dignity of the Crown, and the pros• perity of the empire will be committed to legislators most eminently qualified for the discharge of such responsibilities, and in whose political wisdom the most implicit and earnest reliance could be placed. Satisfied as we are, hnoorawzenvoe; dJ. R r, that extreme benefit must accrue to the ti whether us 8 SirE beRLL n . o P m z in E a LtedPrime continued Minister,inoffi wcee, cannot but turn with a scarcely expressible anxiety to those discussions and those divisions which are about to decide the Parliamentary tournay between those two eminent characters.

Nor is altogether different, as the amalg ama ti on of can we detect anything a bsolutel y reprehensible in upon this matter by the difference of opinion formed THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1846 ROBERT PEEL and his colleagues, or Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his adherents. The former, in accepting the office of Premiership, ipso facto, pledged himself, unong other things, to secure the personal safety of -very individual in the realm as far as the Executive department would permit, and, as a matter of course, it became incumbent upon him so to regulate the operations of that executive department, as his judg ment prompted him, and as circumstances appeared, according to that judgment, to require. From a sense of the awful responsibility thus appertaining to his rank as Prime Minister, Sir ROBERT was driven into the formal proposition of the Curfew Bill, by the wantonness and fre quency of agrarian murders in Ireland. Knowing •hese things to be actualities, it is evident to plain sense that the Irish are indebted for this Bill, not to :he Premier or the Cabinet, but to those ruffianly marauders who have soddened their land with the ;)lood of murder. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in like manner, is incited to the opposition to this same measure from a belief of its inefficacy as a preventive of crime, and as an onerous restriction upon innocent millions. Both statesmen are actuated, we cordially admit, by sen timents of conscientious rectitude, though one, by necessity, can alone be right in his conclusions. The !nd of this honest difference will be fraught with nomentous results as regards the two leaders them ielves, but of results infinitely less momentous to the multitude, seeing that in no case can they be the losers. Our own views upon the matter are uniform, though apparently contradictory ; we should deeply lament the secession from office of Sir ROBERT PEEL, though we should ardently rejoice it the advent of Lord Jourt RUSSELL to power, and this because we recognise in them a ;rand feature of similarity ; they are akin to each other, inasmuch as they are animated with the same ambition to promote the prosperity of the people. Intelligence to the 31st ult. has been received at the Bavarian Embassy in Paris, from Munich, that "after the closing of the Bavarian Diet, in which the debates had been very animated, and in which particularly the encroachments of the clergy and Je suits had been warmly denounced, the KING, yielding to public opinion, which had begun to manifest itself strikingly, and foreseeing the danger of resisting it Any longer, suddenly changed his Ministry.:His per sonal friend, Count DE PEINSHEIM, an ardent pro tector of the Jesuits, and Minister of Finance, the Chevalier GIESE, Foreign Minister, and the Minister of Justice, M. SCHRENCK, received unexpectedly their dismissal, and were replaced by young and po pular men. The Director of Police, M. FLORMANN, one of the most unpopular men in Bavaria, had also been obliged to resign." On the 25th of May a public dinner was given at Leipsic to the 32 Liberal Members of the second Chamber who voted for the opinion of the minority of the Committee, relative to the events of the month of August. About 10,000 persons assembled at the railway station to receive them, and 600 guests sat down to dinner. The German Journal of Frankfort announces that the Archduke FERDINAND of Este has been appointed Viceroy of the Austrian province of Galicia. The same journal states that the Austrian Government has set the greater number of prisoners taken during the late insurrection at liberty, and that in almost every case clemency will be ihowp. The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Cairo, but it is dated as long ago As May 1 : "At the south of Assir, Scheik osse c, who took posses sion of Moka after the departure of trfq, Egyptian troops, is extending his aggressions more and nfot4. He preaches the holy war to the Arabs against the English. For a year past he has been in possession of Sanaa, and he has profited by the disunion in the family of the Iman to replace the feeble Sall Ali by his cousin Mohammed-Ibn-Yahia. He is master of the entire mountain on which the coffee is grown, and has the monopoly of commerce. He is thus able to main tain his army. A portion of the mountain of Hodeida still resists him. Aden, however, has nothing to fear from the Arabs. Hossein can at most throw obstacles in the way of the commercial relations of the English, but he cannot injure their establishment." The Russian Government has published an official account of the late military operations in the Cau casus. Uf course everything is represented in the most favourable point of view for Russia; but even this account admits that SCUAMYL'S army now amounts to from 15,000 to 20,000 men, and that he . : is provided with cannon, which for merly he did not possess. It appears from time accounts that whenever the Russians have attempted to advance into the country of the Circassians, they have invariably been compelled to retire, and the Russian generals declare that the country cannot be subject until the whole of the existing population shall have been exterminated. ScnamrL has recently entered into relations with the tribes on the shores of the Caspian and of the Black Sea. The Roman dominions continue in a very agitated state. A letter from Florence of the date of the 25th ,of May, published in the Journal des Daats, says— "A secret agitation prevails in the R oman states, and es pecially in the legations. It is kept ali ve b y a num b er o f in spite of the precautions taken b y th e autho pamphlets on political writings spread over the country to a r g i r t e ie a s t to prevent their circulation. In the night of th e 20 t h May, an attempt to mu rder, bearing quite a political feature, was perpetrated at Bologna. Lieut.-Colonel Allegrini, of the Horse Chasseurs, a member of the commission which sat during the trial of those accused in the affair of Rimini, was stabbed by masked assassins. His wounds are serious, but they appear not to be mortal. None of the assassins have been arrested as yet.".. A pistol shot had been fired at LAVA, a Commis sary of Police, at Ancona, and an attempt had been made in the same city to assassinate a member of the Military Commission of the Legations. Letters from Naples state that it is the intention of the Government to declare Naples and Palermo free ports. Madrid papers of the 31st ult., and of the lat inst., have been received. They announce the arrival , and contai n a letter, signed zndSILVA CABRAL, and dated explainin g the grounds of their that they h a d o bt a i ne d l eave o bcr y f easd t it g h ihzi e e?mb e t2ri e o; n ntt hh a : A ra : sni s dacy a os t lsa C Tt a ling Cadiz from the Queen of PORTUGAL to travel for a year. It is reported that the Duke of PALMELLA has demanded the recal of GONZALES BRAVO, the Spanish Minister at Lisbon, on the ground of his having interfered in the internal affairs of Portugal, by favouring the in trigues and the escape of the CABRALS. The Spanish Government has ordered two ships of war to proceed from Corunna to Lisbon for the protection of the lives and properties of Spanish subjects residing there. The Bolsa was closed on account of the feast of Pentecost. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The trial of LECONITE, a full report of which wil be found in another column, concluded on Friday afternoon. At six o'clock the Court passed its decree, condemning him to die the death of a parricide. The condemnation to death was passed almost unanimously, notwithstanding an eloquent speech from VICTOR HUGO, urging the infliction of some minor punish ment. The KING himself, it is said, is anxious to spare his life, but the Ministers consider that it would be bad policy to do so, and the probability is that he was executed this morning. _ _ The Chamber of Deputies have adopted the Budget of the Department of Public Works, and commenced on Friday the discussion of the Budget of the Minister of War. The standing army for France consists of 280,000 men, for Algeria of 60,000, exclusive of the supplementary credits, which latter raise it to 100,000 men. The Journal des Debats says : " The Emperor of Russia, desirous of testifying his satis faction at the attentions shown to his son, the Grand Duke Constantine, while visiting the ports of Toulon and Algiers, has conferred the grand cordon of the White Eagle on Vice- Admiral Baudin, and the grand cordon of St. Anne on Rear- Admirals Parseval and Rigodit. The Emperor has also placed at the King's discretion three crosses of the Com mander of the order of St. Anne, to be conferred on the func tionaries of Toulon, who received the Grand Duke during his visit. His Majesty has authorised the above-mentioned admirals to wear the orders bestowed on them by the Em peror of Russia, and has designated Major-General Galinier, commanding the department of the Var, M. Frederic Du chatel, Sub-Prefect of Toulon, and M. de Ricaudy, Director of the Port of Toulon, for the crosses of St. Anne which had been placed at his Majesty's disposal." On the 29th ult. part of the squadron of evolution, under the command of his Royal Highness the Prince DE JOINVILLE, consisting of the steam-frigates Des cartes and Asmode e , an d th e s t eam -b r i g C uv i er , en tered the port o f Vill e f ranc h e.

The object of the visit is stated to be to endeavour to obtain the consent of King Louis PHILIPPE to the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN with a Prince of the House of Coburg. The Epoque has an article on the subject of the alleged offer made by England to mediate between the United States and Mexico, an offer which it ex presses a hope will be accepted, as it thinks such mediation likely to be attended with the most bene ficial results.

The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Pears in at tendance were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. VISCOUNT I3UNGANNON V. SMITH. Their Lordships gave judgment in this case this morning, affirming the decision of the Court below. PINKERS V. THE RATCLIFFE GAS COMPANY. The further arguments in this part-head appeal occupied their Lordships the remainder of the morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ILYVES V. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The further arguments in this pith-heard case, a detail of the facts of which we gave on Saturday, occupied the Master of the Rolls the whole morning. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.. ) CHAPLIN V. GARRICK.—CMAPLIN V. CHAMBERS. This case excited a good deal of attention in Court this morning, on account of the interests involved, and the cir cumstances out of which it rose. They were these :—The testatrix was married to Robert Reid in 1805, at Carlisle, where they continued to live till the death of the husband. Two children are still alive, the issue of this marriage, and appeared by the plaintiff in the suit. In the year 1809, the widow went to Gretna Green, in Scotland, and was married to James Reid, the brother of her deceased husband, with whom she continued to live as her husband up to the close of 1821, and bad ten children by him, all living, and defendants in the suit. In the month of No vember, 1821, the mother, then being pregnant with her youngest child, made a will, devising property to the amount of about 3,000/. to all her children, reserving a beneficial in terest in it to her husband (James Reid) during his life; and she died about five days after the date of the will, in child bed. A suit under this will was instituted by the children of the first marriage, who object against the claim of the children of the second marriage, that that marriage being solemnised in Scotland was void by Scotch law ; and that, therefore, these ten children were illegitimate, and could not sustain their claim at law. The Master's report, among other findings, found that, by the law of Scotland, the marriage of a widow with her de ceased husband's brother is void, and set forth the opinion of the Lord Advocate, and other legal gentlemen of the Scotch Bar. Mr. Wigram, Q.C., and Mr. Faber, were heard for the de fendants on exceptions. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE• CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE EARL OF DEVON. Mr. BETIIE&L'S reply in this case occupied the Court the whole morning, and had not concluded when our evening edition went to press. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) LN RE WM. CORBETT. The whole of the forenoon was occupied in the hearing of an application from Mr. Wm. Cobbett, son of the late cele brated political writer, for an order to be discharged from the custody in which he has been placed for some time, arising out of certain proceedings in the Court of Chancery, and an alleged contempt of that Court. When the Learned Gentleman had finished his statement, The COURT, after a few minutes' consultation, dismissed the application, and he was remanded to the charge of the officers who had brought him up. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. During the past week the arrivals of all descriptions of grain of home produce, especially those of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas, have been on a very limited scale. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any Corn has come to hand; while from abroad the receipts have been very scanty. From Essex, Kent, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire the arrivals of Wheat fresh up were trifling, consequently the show of samples of that article was small. In the early part of the morning holders were firm, and would not sell except at somewhat higher rates. However, as these were not submitted to by the dealers, whose attendance was tolerably numerous, we can notice no alteration in the quotations ob tained on Monday last ; yet the demand was very steady, and previous rates were well supported in every instance. The show of free foreign Wheat was trifling. Selected parcels of both red and white moved off freely, at extreme figures ; but the middling and inferior kinds were much neglected. In Wheat under lock so little was doing that prices were al most nominal. From all parts we continue to receive most flatter ing accounts respecting the appearance of the grain crops. Notwithstanding the show of Barley, both English and foreign, was only limited, the Barley trade was in an in active state, yet last Monday's prices were supported in most transactions. The show of Malt was fully adequate to meet the wants of the dealers, who purchased very sparingly, at late rates; and a clearance was not effected. The arrivals of Oats having been very small since our last report, the number of samples was again trifling.. Fine dry Corn was quite as dear, but other qualities were neglected. The quan tity of Beans on offer was small ; nevertheless the demand was inactive, at late rates. In Peas—the supply of which was unusually small—very little was doing, at late rates. The Flour trade was very dull, but prices were not lower.

During the past week the imports of live stock from abroad consisted of 30 Oxen and Cows, together with 450 Sheep, 76 Lambs, and 4 Calves, from Rotterdam; as also 202 Sheep frem Flushing. From other parts no arrivals have taken place. We had on offer about 40 foreign Beasts, and 100 ditto of Sheep, the demand for which, though the quality was tolerably good, was in a sluggish state, and prices were not supported. The limited import of stocks must be chiefly attributed to most of the Dutch and other continental graziers waiting that period when both beasts and sheep will be admitted into our markets free of duty. The bullock droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, consisted of about 2,000 Scots, home-breds, and short-horns ; from the southern districts, 120 short-horns ; from the western and midland counties, 400 Herefords, De vons, runts, &c.; from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 200 horned and polled Scots. It will be seen from the above, that we had a large number of beasts on sale, owing to which, and the continued warm weather, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a de cline in the quotatiois of 2d per 81bs., and a clearance was not effected. The general quality of the stock was remarkably good. For the time of year, we had a full average number of Sheep on offer. Prime old Downs were in fair request, at full prices ; but all other kinds moved off slowly, at low rates. From the Isle of Wight, 231 Lambs came fresh to hand, while the receipts from other quarters were good. The Lamb trade was brisk at an advance in prices of 2d per Blbs. Calves—the supply of which was moderately good— moved off steadily, at full prices. In Pigs very little was doing, at late rates.

The imports of Wool into London during the past week have consisted of 869 bales from Hobart' . own, and 500 b a l es f ro m various other quarters. In the private contract mar kets, so little is doing in all descriptions, that prices are al most nominal ; and, to effect sales, lower rates must be sub mitted to. -- NEVIGATEI AND LEAnzreaara. Owing to the continued warm weather, the receipts of slaughtered meat up to this markat from distant parts dur ing the past week have been small; but the supplies killed in the metropolis have been sea4enably large, On the whole inactive, at but little varia of foreign beasts and sheep the demand may be consider , tion in price.

Prices were steadily supported. The proceedings at the meeting held at Lord John Russell's mansion on Saturday last have been read here, by the mer cantile and monetary classes, with the deepest interest and anxious attention, as it is feared in many quarters that with a defeat either upon the Coercion (Ireland) Bill, or the Sugar Duties, a dissolution of the Cabinet is all but inevitable. The course of legislation would, under this contingency, or in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, be most materially im peded, and at a period when almost all parties are prepared to enter freely into operations in produce, both colonial and foreign, under the full anticipation that the corn and other tariff measures will soon be passed. The private communications received from tfie West In dies this morning, brought by the Tweed steam-ship, aro rather more unfavourable if possible than the previous intel ligence conveyed by the public journals of nearly all the islands. For the protectionists, the news of the losses of cattle, itc., and the destruction of the crops by a most severe drought, has come at a good time, as not a doubt is enter tained but that it will be made a handle of to show the im policy of the Legislature adopting a line of policy which must in their opinion tend further to the distress of the colonists. But there will be a word to say on the other side in favour of the changes to be pressed forward by Lord J. Russell and his supporters, viz.—that though so general a fai lure of the crops in the West Indies is a reason for admitting foreign free grown produce at reduced duties, yet this would prevent the people of Great Britain being compelled to pay such high prices for sugar as now, especially when the crops in our colonies turn out so deficient. The remittances on ac count of the Mexican dividends are considered good, and show that, so far at least, notwithstanding the war with the United States, the Government of the Republic has held sacred the revenues hypothecated to the payment of the dividend. The Public Securities have been drooping again to-day, and the cause no doubt is the somewhat precarious situation of the Ministry, and the uneasy feeling which political ex citement must ever create. For Account Consols have been marked at a decline to 95% and 95%. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been steady at 17s. to 215., and on India Bonds at 285., for those under 1,0001. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 97% to %, and the Three per Cents. 95(%. The Foreigii Bonds have been very dull. Mexican Five per Cents. have been flat at 29 1 / 8 to %, and the Deferred at 16% to %; Portuguese Four per Cents. have been heavy, and have lost the improvement of Saturday, being now marked 49. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, have been quoted 60 1 / 8 , and Russian Bonds 110 to 110%. In the Share Market the transactions entered into have been upon a moderate scale, and the quotations are for the most part without any alteration of moment. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES• (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. GROUP I. IMPORTAN T DECISION. LONDON AND YORE (THE EASTERN' COUNTIES). This being the day appointed by the Committee for giving their decision upon the preambles of the above all-Important competing lines of railway, the parties interested crowded the gallery leadingto the Committee-room l ong b e f ore eleven o ' clock, the hour a t which their Lordships usually tak e th e i r seats. The greatest interest was manifested by all parties, many of whom w ere new f a ces, evidentlY importations from the provinces wh o came t o j u d ge f or themselves and according to the result, do their own business at Capel-coart. The professional gentlemen who make that place, not only their locale, but their "be all and their end all here," on this uncertain earth, were first of the first on the spot, and the anxiety which, notwithstanding their assumed indifference, was not only plainly, but too painfully, depicted on their physiognomi es. Had Mrs. Gore been present, she would would have learned that her new work was not, nor could not possibly have been complete d without an embodiment from her graphic pen. Care, anxiety, 100 and gain —in fact, all the passions of the speculator and the money grub, were concentrated in each of those who clung round the room, upon the opening of which hung the destiny of their fates. At ten minutes past eleven o'clock the Noble Lords took their seats, consisting of the Earl of Lovelace (chairman), Lord Morley, Lord Vivian, the Marquis of Camden, and Lord Bandon. Their Lordships, much to th e di sappointment of all parties, instead of throwing open the doors, as was expected immediately on to' assembling, continued in close consultation for about an hour, when they then called for counsel. The next summons was for Messrs, Brunell, Locke, and Cubitt, civil engineers ; the do ra were still closed to the public and the press, and we could only hazard an opinion, that they were then discussing some change of the stations on the line which interfered with the property of many of the infin ential landowners. After about half-an-hour's close and most myste rious conference with the engineers, the parties were called in about one o'clock, when a general rush, which filled the room to suffocatio n, took place. As soon as order was restored—no sudden matter, where,ag a whole legion outside the d oor struggled for admittance in vain' from the fact of the impossibility o f the place holding one additional —amidst the most breathless silence, duty The Noble CHAIRMAN, add ress i ng th e parties, said—lt is my to announce to you, on the part of the Committed, that their decision is unanimous in favour of th e L on d on and York Railway .—(Loud cheers burst simultaneously fro m th e crowd in the room, winch w as taken up in the gallery and passages.) Upon which the Chairraan said, we must have the room cleared if there is any interruption of that kind. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XIII. This Committee met to-day at one o'clock, Sir 'William City in the chair. GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE. Mr. Miatflm having intimated that the small branch of the North British (Carlisle Extension scheme to Canobie) would, no doubt, be made so as to connect with the Dumfries scheme, with the consent of the proprietors, and without the interference of Parliament, The Committee proceeded to consider the postponed clauses of the NITHSDALE LINE. An argument of come length took place between the Learned Counsel as to a clause affixing the conditions on which the Dumfrie3 Company should be allowed to run over the Caledonian line from the point of junction of the two lines to Carlisle. It resulted in the clause being withdrawn, as it was intimated that no doubt hereafter a satis factory arrangement on the matter would be come to between the two companies, and that in the meantime the Railway Companies Clauses Consolidation Act (Scotland) would provide for the Caledo nian line being used by the Dumfries Company on the payment of the regular tolls. The other clauses were then disposed of with some unimportant amendments, and the Chairman was instructed to report the gm to the House. GROUP XIV. The Select Committee appoiated to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re - assem bl ed t hi s morn i ng f o r the itri time after the Whitsuntide recess; Mr. Protheroe in the chair. THE RENT ATMOSPHERIC LINE. ___ The engineering• evidence in favour of this line was resumed. The parties proposed to call Mr. Hawkshaw ; but the Committee refused to hear him, until M r . C u bit t, t h e eng i neer .i n• c hi e f of L"' line had given his evidence. Mr. Sergeant TALFO URD rem i n d e d th e C omm i ttee, that i n a cotirt of law the counsel in a case was allowed to conduct their case a cc° _. r e a d ing to the best of th e i r j u d gment and ability, but where it aPPea,r it that the court wer e averse to the course ' adopted by the couns e 4 was for the counsel t o grapple with that aversion in the best waY they could. The CHAIRMAN remarked, that the Committee were not guided bf the rules which re gu l a t e d courts of law ; but, by the suggestion of the Chairman of Committ ees. M r. Cubitt, they had bee' told, was the engineer-in -chief of the line, and, o f course, the testimony of othe r engineers could only be tak en as a corroborative or seco ndary character. Ultimately, after nearly an hour or so had been wasted in dis cussing the point, the Committee decided that they would Neel" Mr. Hawkshaw's evidence under protest. Mr. Hawkshaw, engineer, of the Manchester and Leeds line, W l s then called. He gave a decided opinion in favour of the Keat ~ 4 e mospheric line, because it would form a direct line to Dover, NO% at the same time th a t o bj ec t was accompl i she d b y ma ki ng use e' considerable distance of existing rails. As far as gradients were eT • cerned, both lines were good ; b u t cer t a i n l y th e a t mosp h er ic had the greatest extent of level. It was then proposed to addu ce ev id ence i n f avour o f the af— ino. spheric propulsion principle; but CUbd t ' The Cliatastax again pressed the parties to produce Mr. „,„• and the room was cleared for a second ti me t o cons id er t h e ge es It turned out, however, that M r . C u bitt was closete d w ith the Commitee in the Lords on the London and York Bill, and there vas no chance of his being disengaged for some time. Under these circumstances, the Committee consented to take the evidence of Mr. Wm. Vallee an d M r. Manning, who gave gam.' testimony in favour of the Kent Atmospheric line. „A the It still appearing that Mr. Cubitt was likely to be Meg — %tit- London and York Committee for the whole of the day, the Con 2 tee determined upon adjourning till to-morrow. GROUP XVIII. EXETER (GREAT WESTERN). The Committee met at the usual hour ; Mr. B. Denison, chairltr!: At the commencement of th e s itti ngs o f this Committee, 1 Ausurt stated that the Great Western Company, for when' il. 3 1y ap peared, had taken the subject into th e i r cons id e ration, as desired altering the plans of the Exeter and Y eov il li ne so as to ac the Committee previou s t o the holidays, namely, with referceonnicenitoo. date both gauges, and the result of that deliberation was' that the Great Western Nl:many were prepared to adopt the in" sertion of a clause in their Bill, should t h e ir line receive the sanction of the Committe e , em powering the m to lay down a double rail on their lin e , so as t o accom modate both gauges. .. - The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee would not, at the present time, go into the matter further, until the merits of the whole ewe had been disposed of. They had merely thrown out the suggee Hon in order that the subject might receive the consideration of the parties during the recess. Lord Falmouth was then called, on behalf of the Exeter Great Western Company, whose evidence was almost exclusively confined to the benefits which the construction of this line would afford to the county of Cornwall by its junction with the Cornwall Railway, in preference to the line of the Exeter, Yeovil, Dorchester, and Salisbury junction in continuity with the Cornwall and Devon Central. Sir Charles Lemon, Bart, gave evidence of a similar nature, GROUP LIII The Select Committee to whom this group has been referred re assembled to-day, in Room 26 in the new Houses of Parliament, at the customary hour.

The gradients are exceedingly good, the steepest gradient being one in 100. The general natur e °, 1 ,1 be curves is such as would not incur any danger.
