The Jewish Disabilities Removal Bill has been rejected by the Lord, and the cause of bigotry has, so far as the mere division is concerned, triumphed. We say so far as the mere division is concerned, for never was any cause so damaged by debate as was the cause of the opponents of the Bill by the debate in the House of Lords last evening. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE in his opening speech at once placed the question on its proper basis, by boldly announcing that the principle of exclusion was a principle contrary to the spirit of the Constitution, and that therefore it was for those who contended for the maintenance of exclusions to prove their necessity, not for those who demanded their removal to prove their impolicy. This at once placed the opponents of the roe ,. sure in a position from which they found it impossible to extricate themselves ; indeed, th e Bishop of OXFORD confessed as much in the commencement of his speech, a speech as distin guished for its want of candour, its want of temper. ance, its want of truth, as it was for its eloquence and its remarkable exhibition of the "cunning of fence" of a perfect master of casuistry. All lovers of true eloquence are, however, under great obliga tions to the Bishop of OXFORD, for he brought out — we were about to say Lord BROUGHAM, but we must correct ourselves, he brought out HENRY BROUGHAM, the HENRY BROUGHAM of twenty years since—the HENRY BROUGHAM of the old House of Corn mons, the giant who wrestled with CANNING, Never was BROUG rum more eloquent, more earnest, more energetic ; never were his arguments more lo gical ; never was his legal lore brought to bear upon a political subject with more happy effect; never was his sarcasm more withering. The unfortunate bishop of OXFORD absolutely writhed under the in fliction, and gave visible signs that he felt acutely every application of the discipline. The Right Rev. SAMUEL 'WILBERFORCE will not soon forget the lesson of last night. The speech of Lord BROUGHAM was, in every sense of the word, a great speech ; net only was it the speech of the debate—not only was it the speech of the session —but it is a speech for all spteah that will be hereafter quoted and studied as a perfect model of Parliimentary elo quence r The excitement in Ireland with respect to the forthcoming trial under the new Act is increasing in intensity a 4 the day approaches when every doubt must be resolved. Every efiort has been made to in flame the passions of the people, and to induce them to believe that there has been an unfair interference with the jury panel, and that the Crown are resolved to obtain the conviction of the prisoner per fas ant nefag. Public meetings have been held in the metro. polia and in various parts of the country, at Which the most inflammatory harangues have been made, and an extraordinary edition of the United Irishman has been published, giving full reports of the pro ceedings that have taken place at the Commission Court, which contains articles rivalling almost any of those published in its palmiest days before the " Gagging Act" was in existence, Mr. DEVIN REILLY certainly speaks out boldly and unequivocally in a letter addressed to the citizens of Dublin, to which he has affixed his name. He directly charges the Government with packing the jury, and more than hints at an immediate outbreak. He says, "You see one of yourselves, a citizen, ar rested for speaking the truth—you see the jury panel deliberately and systematically packed against him — you see every preparation made for his certain de struction which deceit can plan or tyranny execute. Should he be convicted and left in the hands of his enemies, a weapon is then tried and proved, which can next be used against any of you," and, finally, after drawing a startling picture of the state of the Irish metropolis, he adds, " I warn you that this state of things must for all our sakes be ended. And ended it shall be. Better far a day of what you call anarchy—which I call the first day of order — that for half a century has interrupted the peace of tyranny, the silence of outrage, and frightful calm of despotism—than years, or weeks, or minutes snore of this." Mr. JOHN MARTIN has not been less ex plicit. He asks, " When will the tine' come about which your orators so boldly vaunt amid the fierce shouts of your applause ? If it come not, when one of you selected by your enemies as your . champion—when 'JOHN TIATCHEL, th n e true felon, is sent to perish among thieves and murderers, for the crime of loving and defending his native land—then, it will never come—never . l peo ple of Ireland suffer this last atrocity of f te tyranny, h no opportunity—no organization—no save aid— nothing less than a miracle from Heaven them." These sentiments thus put forward by the princi pal adherents of Mr. MiTcHEL, show that he, at least, and his more immediate friends, cherish the hope that his trial will hasten the outbreak on which they eal culate, and which they fondly hope will lead to a future separation between the sister kingdoms. Hence it is that the fallacious and unwarranted statements about the packing of the jurors have been circulated; for they know well, that if they can succeed in show ing that one single act of injustice has been perpe trated, they will do more in furtherance of their object than by any other means whatsoever. their misstatements, however, have been rectified, their falsehoods exposed, and we are rejoiced to find that the most conclusive test will be applied. The subject is to be brought before the Court on a chal lenge of the array, and it will be decided, not upon the reckless assertion of demagogues, but on a strict inquiry into the real facts of the case, detailed upon the oaths of trustworthy witnesses. If there is any foundation for the assertion the prisoner should by all means receive the benefit of it, and the parties by whom the atrocity has been attempted should be punished to the utmost extent warranted by law. But if, as we verily believe it will be found' that these statements are wholly at variance with the truth, that the jury panel is fairly constituted and of the usual charac ter, then let the slanderers receive the contempt and odium they have so richly deserved—let them be branded rs wilful liars and malignant calumniators — and let the law officers of the Crown be exonerated from unmerited charges which have no real founda tion. One word as to the assertion that Roman Catholics have been excluded from the jury- lists, or set aside, on striking the juries. If such a course was really adopted, if persons had been struck off merely on account of their religion, and not be cause they professed political doctrines in accordance with those of the parties about to be placed on their trials, we should be found amongst the most energetic denouncers of such an act, which woald justly be regarded as a grave and unjustifiable insult to a large and respectable body of our fellow-citi zens, but we cannot believe that the Attorney Gene ral, himself a conscientious Roman Catholic, wou.d sanction such an outrage to the feelings of his co-re ligionists. We believe, therefore, that the state ments can be satisfactorily explained or rebutted. It must, however, be borne in mind that in striking a special jury, the removal of a name does not imply a censure on the person so removed. Each party ne• cessarily strikes out twelve names when revising the list, not one of which might be set aside or challenged, if called on a petty jury. Madrid papers of the 20th have been received. They contain no intelligence whatever. MADRID BoLsa, MAT 20.—Three and-a-Half per Cents., 21 ; Five per Cents., 14. Exchange on London, 42. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The approaching elections for Paris have made evident the split which exists between the Republican and the Communist portions of the Executive Go vernment. The Nationa/, the organ of M. ARMAND MAaRAST and the rational Republicans, puts forth the following list of candidates :—MM. Adam Edmond, adjoint to the Mayor of Paris; Bayard, (Ouvrier), adjoint of the Mayor of St. Denis ; d'Alton-Shee, ex-Peer of France ; Danguy (Ouvrier) ; Delestre (Jean Baptiste) ; Drolling (Painter), mem ber of the Institute; Duras (Leopold), chief editor of the National; Gervais (of Caen) ; Goudchaux (Michel), ex-Minister of Finance, a Jew; Schoel cher (Victor), ex Under-Secretary of State in the department of the Marine ; Thierry (Physician) ; while the Rgorme, the organ of LEDRU ROLLIN, which is edited by M. FLOCON, proposes as can didates—MM. Caussidiare, ex-Prefect of Police ; Leroux (Pierre) ; Proudhon (Economist) ; Grand menil, the founder of the R,florine; Ribeyrolles, chief editor of the Riforme; Thore, chief editor of the Vrais Ripublique; Dupoty (Condamn6 Poll tique); Kersausie ; Hours (Doctor); Lessen': (Doc tor); Schcelcher. The whole of the candidates proposed by the Riforme are Communists, one of them, Tisoaß, wits concerned in the emeute of the 15th May, and had been named by BARnES Mayor of Paris. He is at present, we believe, hiding from the pursuit of justice. The Mcmiteur publishes a decree declaring that the Assembly invites the Executive Government to con tinue to take as the rule of its conduct the unanimous wishes of the Assembly, summed up in the following words :—"Fraternal compact with Germany. Recon stitution of free and independent Poland. Liberation of Italy." The reactionary party has over-reached itself. It has thrown off the mask too soon, and placed the well-wishers of the Republic on their guard. M. Prince n his ce of the letters of thNe' EMILE DR GIRARDI b D inopportune j o is vm p L u z b i i c n a t t i o h n e Presse, has so clearly shown the aim and object of the, Orleans family, that their most ardent suppor ters are compelled to hold their peace, and not to say a word in opposition to the decree of exile about to be passed against them, a decree, pathetically whines the Presse, that is copied word for word from the laws of proscription against the family of NA POLEON and that of the elder branch of the Bourbons. Now we really do not see what just cause of com plaint Louis PHILIPPE or his family can have against this decree. He himself proposed and procured to be passed a decree word for word the same, pro scribing his cousins of the elder branch ; and surely even he will not have the coolness to pretend that the effete and bigoted CHARLES X. was a more dangerous enemy to the Citizen Monarchy than is the astute and ruse Louis PHILIPPE to the French Republic ; or that the Duc D'ANGOULEME was more spirited, more enterprising, more popular with a certain set, or more likely to make a rally for a restoration than is the Prince DE JOIN VILLE ; or that M. BERRYER and M. DE GENOUDE were more cun ning, unprincipled intriguers than M. TIHERS or M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN ; or that the Baron D'HAUSSEZ and the Due DE DAMAS were more shrewd states men or more acute diplomatists than is " the Man of Ghent" and M. DUCHATEL. Seeing these things, we cannot but feel that the authorities of the Re public are right in acting upon the precedent set them by Louts PHILIPPE himself. It is said that Di. TUISIIS and M. EUILB DE GIN RARDIN intend to present themselves as candidates at the approaching Paris elections. Large quantities of arms and ammunition have been seized from persons who were attempting to smuggle them into Paris. The Finance Committee, in its meeting of yester day, after a long discussion, appointed a sub-Commit tee to draw up a report on the Bill relative to the purchase of railways by the State. The members of the sub-Committee are MM. BERRYER, ST. BEUVE, DEMA.RCAT, GANTHIER DE RUMILLT, and BINEAU. All the members of the sub-Committee are opposed to the measures proposed by the Government. The National Assembly met 3 esterday at one o'clock. M. de Morney, before entering on the order of the day, begged to inquire why the decree regulating the relations between the Assembly and the Executive Com mittee had not been published. That document was im portant. The order of the day was the inquiry into the state of the labouring classes throughout the whole of the Republic. 'The Bill was presented to the Chamber, which, with out entering into any general discussion, passed imme diately to the consideration of the articles, and atter so me very short remarks, the Bill was adopted in its ensemble. An inquiry will consequcr.tly take place throughout the whole of France, through the medium of the prefects and sub-pre'ects as to the state of labour, the condition of the working classes being necessary to be known before any definitive organization of the ques tion can be come to. General Le Breton proposed the following amend ment to the decree for preventing the ex-Royal family from returning to France:— " I demand that in no case can the decree relative to Louis Philippe and his family be applicable to the mem bers of that family, who, being absent from Paris in February last, were notoriously strangers to all the acts which led to the expulsion of the family from the throne," The amendment was ordered for discussion to morrow, with the decree to which it relates. M. Drcuin de l'Huys read the address proposed by the Committee on Foreign Affairs in reply to that from the American Congress. It was couched in the most fraternal terms, and was voted unanimously. The other business brought forward up to post hour presented nothing of general interest. An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Great Northern of France Railway was held at Herz's Room, at Paris, on Wednesday. A most interesting report on the prospects of the line was read, which was received throughout with loud acclamations, and all the parts that spoke of the injustice and spoliat ing character of the Government Bill were interrupted with decided marks of adhesion. A long conversation followed on the various points involved in the provisions of the new Bill, and all the shareholders who spoke were most energetic in expressing their disapprobation of any measure which should tend to deprive them of their invested rights. The results of the whole discussion were thus :-Ist, the report was adopted unanimously, ordered to be printed immediately, and sent to all members of the National Assembly, with a view to enlighten them as to the real opinion" of the shareholders ; secondly, the Board of Directors, to whom a vote of thanks and perfect confidence was passed, were requested to wait in person on the bureaux Or committees of the Assembly to whom the Bill was referred, and state the objections to it, as well as to defend in every way the interests of the company; thirdly, that the Board was adjourned, the com mittee of accounts appointed at the previous general meeting, and a new committee of three shareholders composed of MM. Orfila, de Bellevue, and de Verteillac, in order to give greater weight to the representations of the board. Fourthly, the great object of these gentlemen, it was decided, ought to be to do all in their power to oppose the repurchase of the line, and if they failed in that object, to endeavour to obtain more equitable terms than the Minister of Finance had ofl9red. Just before tho meeting separated, M. Percire stated that with respect to the shares on which the fourth call of 75f. had been paid up, there was every reason to sup pose that in case the Bill was voted by the National Assembly, special conditions would be allowed for these shares. The meeting then broke up, after having exhibited the greatest unanimity throughout their proceedirgs. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, MAY 25. THREE O'CLOCK.—The variations at the Bourse to day were not impurtant. The position of the Govern ment being considered stronger than it was for some days previously, the rise in the Routes which began yes terday has continued, but not to any great amount. In Railway Shares the rise and fall is pretty equally divided. The Vielle Montagne fell 251. The Piedmont Stock is quoted at 880 f., after having been 875 r. Bons du TriSior are at 33r. discount. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. and Five per Cents. have both risen 25 cen times. For Money the rise was the same. Buns du Tresor are at 35 discount. Bank of France Shares have fallen 10 francs. Belgian Bank Shares not quoted. Five per Cents. are the same as yesterday. Spanish Stock not quoted. Roman is as yesterday. Rothschild's Re ceipts, which had not been quoted for some days past, are at 70f. Exchange on London (30 days), 25 40 ; ditto (90 days), 25 32i. Railway Snares for the Ac count, Settlit" , of May 31 : nothing d o n e . F or cas h Orleans have fallen 2f. 50c; Rouens, 2f. 50c.; Viarzons, 6f. 25e.; and Northerus, 3'. 75c. The Marseilles have risen 5f ; Bordeaux, V. 25e.; Lyons, 3f. 70e. The others remain as yesterday. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, MAY 2i. Namur and Liege, 33B—Orleans and Vourdeaux, GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. On the 221 instant the United Prussian Diet was opened by the KING in person in the White Hall in the Palace at Berlin. His Majesty was received with three rounds of cheers, and then delivered the following speech from the throne : " Gentlemen Deputies—l have great pleasure in greeting an assembly which, elected by the general voice of the people, has been convoked, in order, with me, to prepare the bases of that constitution which will form a new era in the history of Prussia and Germany. " In commencing your solemn duties, you will, I am persuaded, keep in view the twofold object of securing to the people an extended participation in the affairs of the State, and at the same time of more closely consoli dating those bonds which for more than 400 years have indissolubly interwoven my house with the destiny of this country. The draft of the constitution will be submitted to you by my Government. " Simultaneously with yourselves, the representatives of the whole of the German nation have assembled at Frankfurt-on-thc-Maine. " Gladly would I have awaited the results of this as sembly, before calling together the representatives of my faithful people. The urgent necessity of speedily consolidating the public legal condition of our more cir cumscribed native land would not admit of this. The union of Germany is my determined wish, for the accom plishment of which I feel assured of your co operation. " The internal peace of the country begins to be con firmt d. " The perfect re-establishment of confidence, and with it the renovation of commerce and of industrial activity, will depend essentially upon the results of your deliberations. Great exertions have been made to create work during the stagnation in the numerous trades— these must be continued and extended. The increasing want of money has not exhausted the savings of past times. " My endeavours to meet the wishes of the Polish in habitants of the province of Posen by organic arrange ments have not succeeded in averting a rebellion which, however deeply I may lament it, has not prevented me following up the path which had been entered upon ,in due regard to the claims of the German nationality. "Notwithstanding the great convulsions which have taken place within the last few months, the friendly re lations of my Government with foreign powers has been interrupted only in a single instance. " I aiay indulge in the that the readily-accepted friendly intervention will essentially contribute to facili tate the termination of this war, which has not been originated by Prussia, but which I, as a German Federal Prince, could not refuse to undertake, when the boun daries of our common fatherland appeared to be threatened, and I was called upon by the Germanic Con federation to secure an acknowledged right. My policy will in this instance also act unselfishly and amicably. It is a policy which, in intimate union with Germany, I am resolved to maintain faithfully." At the close of the speech, the President of the Council of Ministers declared the Diet to be opened. His MAJESTY then left the hall with acclamations of applause. The preliminary conduct of the assembly was un dertaken by the senior President, his Excellency the Minister of State, Von ScuoN. The functions of secretaries by the four junior members. A Committee of 40 members was chosen by lot to examine the votes. The President of the Cabinet Council then read the Royal message to the Diet, which, with the draft, was given to the President. and at the same time stated that this sketch would be sent to all the De puties in the afternoon. The next sitting is to take place on Wednesday, the 24th, at ten in the morning. AUSTRIA. THE FLIGHT OF THE EMPEROR.-HIS ARRIVAL AT INNSPRUCK. We learn from the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 21st of May that the Imperial family arrived at Inn spruck at half-past ten, P.M., on the 19th. Their ap proach had been announced about half an hour before by a courier. The municipal National Guards pro• ceeded with torches to meet them, and their entry was greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the assembled citizens. Their MAJESTIES had reached Salzburg about eleven r.m. on the 18th, where they supped and slept for a few hours. Two hours after their de parture from Salzburg (about six A.M.) Count HETOS, Commandant of the Vienna National Guard, and IVILDSCHENX, arrived at Salzburg in search of the Imperial family, whom they immediately fol lowed to Innspruck. During the EMPEROR'S halt at Salzburg, a proclamation, explaining that he had left Vienna on account of the disturbances of the 15th, and expressing pleasure at the loyalty of the Upper Austrian provinces, was printed and distributed. FRANKFORT. The German Parliament met OR Monday and dis cussed the motion of RAVEAUX, of Cologne. The purport of that motion, it will be recollected, was to enable persons elected to the German and also to the Prussian constituent assemblies to sit in both. Its practical aim was to enforce the adoption of the re commendation of the Committee of fifty that the Diets of all the German states should adjourn during the session of the National Assembly. Various amendments were moved, all of which, with the original motion, were referred to a Committee which it was resolved to nominate at the afternoon sitting. The President, in the name of the Assembly, ex pressed a wish that the Committee should report as soon as possible. This reference to a Committee is regarded as a victory by the Conservative party. SWEDEN. On the 12th instans the credit of two millions of thalers called for by the KING was voted by the no bility and the order of peasants. The Council of State sat for six hours on that day un d er t h e of the KING. It wai announced that the troops would occupy the islands in order t pB h rw a e t seid t di k e , s e nhc p y aish army might be able to march in full force against the Germans. I T AL - Y - . LOMBARDY. The Turin journals of the 21st of May state that tbt Piedmontese artillery had dismounted some of the Austrian pieces of artillery at Peschiera. ROME. `Letters from Civita Vecchia represent the intelli gence from Rome as being of an alarming character. The Ministry was dissolved, and there were fears that the events of the Ist of May would be repeated. BOZZELLI was entrusted with tho formation of the new Ministry. . NAPLES. .The accounts from Naples are truly horrible, and prepared as we were to expect falsehood and treachery from a Bourbon, we must confess that we were not prepared to find even a Bourbon KING openly en tering into a compact with avowed and professional thieves and robbers for the plunder and murder of the industrious and honest portion of his subjects, in order that he himself might be permitted to indulge with impunity in the luxury of perjury. Queen CsousTINA of Spain is under infinite oblige tiOns to her brother, the King of NAPLIIS. She is not, after all, the basest of the Bourbons. The following is the account of the massacre of Naples : " On Saturday, the 13th, in the morning, the deputies were assembled in the Salle de Monte Olivetto, in pre paratory session, to modify the form of the oath to be taken at the opening of Parliament. This oath was in these terms—" I swear fidelity to the King and Consti tution of 29th January.' The Deputies were opposed to this form, because it was not in consonance with the concessions of 3d April. Saturday and Sunday passed in negotiations. In the evening, at eleven o'clock, it was announced that the Kiug would not modify the form. "The Deputies, to the number of 80, met, declared themselves in permanence, and sent a deputation to the Kirrg to treat as to a modification. The King refused. The national guard went in great numbers to Monte Olivetto to persuade the Deputies to persevere. About midnight another deputation was sent to the palace, when the King demanded time. A modification of the oath was then proposed, in which a reservation of the rights con. f erred by the decree of the 3d of April should be made. "The King pretended to accept this, but the Chamber learned that the troops had, meanwhile, been ordered cut, and force being thus resorted to, all conciliation became impossible. Soon after midnight .the National Guard commenced constructing barricades. At half past vne the generale was beaten, and at two the troops —ii.fentry, cavalry, and artillery—issued from their barracks, and occupied the spaces around the palace, the male, and the market. • " The King, being informed of the construction of the barricades, ordered the soldiers to withdraw, and consented to the Parliament being opened without any oath; this formality was to have taken place with ex planations on the subject of the statute. " The National Guard, however, refused to lower the barricades, except on the condition of the abolition of the Chamber of Peers, the surrender of the fortresses, and the iemoval of the troops from the capital. This being declined, the troops were again ordered out, and the squares of the Palace and other places were covered with armed forces, including a great quantity of artillery. At nine o'clock the Swiss troops were drawn out around the castle. At half-past nine there was an ap bbeytr a a c ;e id d e , n commencedt when the National Guard, ap parent movement to retre a t, b ut a b out eleven o ' clock a musket was believing Discharge d i tself' " The Swiss and the other troops then opened a mur derous fire of musketry by battalions, and the artillery commenced a murderous discharge of grapo ; the con flict, in fact, became general. At the barricades of San Fernando and San Bridgida the National Guards sus yielding an inch of ground. ooun to the tamed a fire of musketry and art ill ery f or three hours without commencement, the l ower or d ers seeme d dis posed take the side of th e N at i onal Guard, but being itht offered by the King and the troops the privilege of pil lage they took the other side.

" Unheard-of atrocities were p er p e t ra t e d by th e lszza roni and the troops.

In one house were shot a father, mother, and four children. Other victims were dragged alive through the streets to be butchered, struck as they went along, and insulted by the agents of the police and the soldiers, who compelled them to cry Viva el Rey.' When they refused, they were pricked in the face by the points of the bayonets. The royal guard murdered two sons of the Marquis Vassatori in his own palace ; the father went stark mad. The palace was sacked. The emissaries of Del Caretto, and, according to some accounts, Del Caretto himself; were employed in goad ing o a the rabble to these acts of a t roc i ty . S evera l per sous known to entertain liberal opinions were dragged from their houses and shot. " The massacre continued for eight hours. The hos pitals were filled with wound e d. I n one S w i ss reg i men t alone there were 800 killed and wounded, of which 30 were officers. Government was proceeding to disarm the National Guard. " The aspect of the city was deplorable. It seemed to be converted into one vast tomb. " The correspondents of the French journals say that the French admiral, Baudin, expressed the greatest indignation at the conduct of the King, and anuomaced that treaties and the law of nations having been vio lated by 'the Neapolitan government, he would give one hour to stop the disorder and guarantee the inviola bility of persons and properties; that otherwise he would bring his fleet from Castel Mare, and disembark 9,000 men to defend the rights of humanity and nations. • mis•---------esEensets: IRELAND.

A MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet; sales, 4,000 bales, all to the trade. Railway shares were rather in favour of buyers. The continental arrivals this morning furnish no intelligence of importance, but there is a better feel ing in some respects with regard to political matters. The probability of an arrangement of the Danish :question, although it will be for the German Confederation to ratify it, has afforded satisfaction, and from France the accounts are more promising for the Railway shareholders. There is an important matter, however, not to be lost sight of, viz. that the rejection of the spoliation project, will be another mortification to the Executive Government that may result in their resignation. The Naples accounts excite a feeling of unmitigated disgust here, as well as at Paris, and even if irregular, the humane in terference of the French Admiral at Naples, is hailed with pleasure. The French Assembly seems likely to take up the question, but we think it may fairly be left to the Italians at large. City men who know well the character of Ferdinand, conceive that his expul sion must inevitably occur. The Colonial produce markets have been rather firmer this week, and there has been a steady business done for consumption, although the " races" have interfered with the public sales. From the manufacturing districts the accounts seem rather more favourable, but it is home orders chiefly that afford employment at present. For export there is very little doing. It is expected that there will be in creased shipments to India and America—prospering, we may do a good stroke of business this year with brother Jonathan. We have plenty of cash to buy or execute orders. There is a heavy market for grain, and prices are rather tending downwards, owing to the large arrivals. The Public Securities have been firm this morning, although Stock is still rather more plentiful than it was. Thus Consols have been 841 to 1 for transfer, and 841 to i for account. The possibility of the Spanish Ambassador being ordered to quit England should Sir Henry Bulwer be exonerated from blame will probably deter money purchases at present.

By land carriage next to nothing has cone to hand. Althongh the show of temples to-day was limited, the demand for all descriptions, owing to the large imports of foreign, was heavy, and to force sales is per quarter less money must hive been accepted by the holders. Nearly 18,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in, and which had a very de pressing effect upon the trade. The finest parcels were mostly held at full prices, but those of all other qualities had a downward tendency, with very little business doing. The show of English Barley was small, that of foreign very ex tensive. All kinds moved off slowly at barely late rates. In Malt, so little was doing that prices were almost nominal. Oats, the supply of which was on the increase, were very dull, and the turn lower. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, as last advised. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. 147" at• I Barley. Oats. Floqr.

Our market to-day al was very moderately supplied with Beasts, as to number, but their general quality was ex ceedingly good. As the attendance of buyers was limited, and the weather unfavourable to slaughtering, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's prices. The show of Foreign Stock was comparatively small, if we except that of Calves. From Scotland 370 Scots came to hand in excellent condition. The number of Sheep were on the increase. All kinds move eff slowly at unaltered currencies. From the Isle of Wight 450 Lambs came to hand per railway, and the receipts from all other quarters were seasonably extensive. The Lamb trade was heavy, at a reduction in value of of 2d per Blbs. Calves were in good supply, and moderate request, at late figures. In Pigs next to nothing was doing.

Not only w as the pit filled, at the first rush, to such an overflow that safest interest and the , hundreds were prevented from effecting an entrance, but ere the overture commenced every b ..st was tenanted _ most of them containing double the ordinary fitunb,e_r of occupants.
