MONEY and COMMERCIAL Ni WS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. At Liverpool, on Saturday, the Cotton Market was without alteration. Sales 4,500 bales. American t 30. to 51d. per lb. R a il wa y Sh ares wer e qu i e t, ?ut . there g was less stock offeri n g, an d the market haa rather an upward tendency. The cora trade is quiet today, but wheat maintains Its value. _.A statement pr e p are d b y or d er o f th e H ouse o f L or d s tires the number of ships, and • the amount of their tonnage that cleared outwards from the ports of London lnd Liverpool i n th e ear 1847, distinguishing the icountries to which they respectively cleared, and also the ships clear e d i n b a ll ast f rom t h ose w hi c h l e f t w ith j Car go. Glancing a t th e re turn we find the total ships of 656,500 tons British, and 892 ships of 105,448 tons foreign. In ballast 1,276 ships of 3 '7 2 16 tons British, and 2,106 ships of 320,770 tons iforeign; F rom Li verpoo l t h ere left 2, 598 s hips of . 1,95 7 tons Briti s h, w ith cargoe s, and 1,409 ships of w‘5,289 tons foreign. In ballast, 438 ships of 198,469 tons British, and 83 ships of 23,388 tons foreign. The larger numbe r o f t h e s hi ps i n b a ll as t went to the North American colonies and the United States. The holid a y o b serve d to -d ay a t a ll the docks has not altogether stopped business in the City, as the banks , 4 c.,, continue open, but certainly it is a dull day. An t r e ve man of b us i ness f ee ling, like others, annoyed at Chartist int erru pti ons , se nds us the following lines : " With regard to the Chartist movement, it appears Goreo be wi s h e d by th e mercantile interest that the the necessity should suggest to the editors of the press , " 1 " necessity of not giving any reports of the various keet ings that are taking place, as it is evident that it e bt u fre parties into importance who otherwise would not the ft enabled t o h ave their wild notions disseminated , nor "Ilatnes published to the world; and, as the Govern hey is su ffi ciently strong to keep a watchful eye o n eir bit s movements, the parties in question shou ld be left t s „. B management without having their names illus -"it'd' by the public press, thereby giving encourage xnent to many who are ambitious of being noticed in t he Public prints." fears t:erhaps it is as well the public should know to the m ade, extent the inflammatory character of the speeches —a ue, but this being now shown, the press will doubtless exercise a discretionary power in "abridging." The occurrence of two more failures in the East India p_ trad e has excited much regret. Messrs. Kellsall's and "'".) Were once wealthy people, and Messrs. Speirs, with Lhem they were connected also stood well. The houses ki large connections with the Manchester and other inet iufacturers. wit Engli s h Sto c k-market has been very firm, not __,lnstanding the unfavourable complexion of the ac ama from s ome parts of the continent.

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat for our market last week coastwise were somewhat on the increase, but those of all other articles of home produce were small in the extreme. The receipts from Ireland and Scotland were again trifling, but from abroad we received 7,213 quarters of Wheat, 4,465 ditto of Barley, 7,426 ditto of Oats, 11 ditto of Rye, 15,080 ditto of Beans, 207 ditto of Peas, 7,424 [ditto of Linseed, 56 ditto of rape seed, 377 ditto of sundry seeds including Indian corn, and 145 barrels of Flour. The quantity of English Wheat re ceived fresh up this morning was very moderate, espe cially from Essex and Cambridgeshire, and the show of samples of both Red and White was limited. On the whole, the attendance of both town and country buyers was tolerably good; while the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was steady, at prices about equal to those obtained on this day week, and at which a good clearance was effected prior to the conclu sion of business. The general quality of the Wheat samples was a full average. The quantity of foreign Wheat brought f orwar d was sma ll er t h an f or some week's past. Sel ec t e d qualities were in moderate re quest at full rate s o f currency; b ut t h e m iddli ng an d in terior kinds were a slow inquiry at late figures. Nu English Barley was at market; but the supply of Foreign was quite equal to the wants of the dealers. The Barley trade must be considered inactive at last week's prices. On the spot Malt was in fair request at full currencies. For forward delivery very few sales took place. The supply was again limited. The total supply of Oats, in cluding the foreign importations, was trifling; neverthe less, the Oat trade was far from brisk, at prices fully equal to those of Monday last. Very few English Beaus were on the market; but the supply of foreign was very large, viz., upwards of 15,000 quar t ers . Th sale for all descriptions was heavy at a decline in the quotations of from is to in some instances 2s per quarter. Large quantities remained over for Wednesday's market. There was a slight improvement in the sale for Peas, but we have no advance to notice in value. Indian Corn and Meal moved off slowly at late rates. The top or nominal price of the best town-made Flour was 44s per 2801bs. Generally the trade ruled heavy. CURRENCT PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

At Southampton 146 Oxen were landed from Oporto. Of the latter 63 were disposed of on Saturday, and the remainder were on sale here to day. The show of foreign stock generally was very moderate. The importations into the United Kingdom during the first four months of the present and two pre ceding years were as under:- 1846. 1847. 1848. Oxen Cows Calves Sheep Lambs Pigs From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably extensive, and of fair average quality. Although the attendance of buyers was numerous, and the numbers of Beasts were not so large by several hundreds as on Monday last, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, last week's prices. The ex treme figure for the best Scots was 4s per 81bs. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire, consisted of about 1,700 Scots and short horns; from the western and midland districts, 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland 344 horned and polled Scots. A further increase took place in the supply of Sheep, but a falling off was observed in the quality of that description of stock. Prime Down qua lities were mostly disposed of at full prices. Otherwise the Mutton trade was heavy, at a reduction in value of 2d per tabs., and a clearance was not effected. Lambs, the supply of which was good, moved off heavily at, in some instances, a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs.. Only 85 head came to hand from the Isle of Wight. In Calves and Pigs exceedingly little business was doing, and prices ruled quite 2d per Sibs beneath those realized on this day se'nnight. Per Sibs. to sink the offal. s. d. to s. d. s. d. t* s. d.

The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster, to-day, at ten o'clock. RAVEN V. SEAL.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CIIANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this ease, which came before his Lordship a few days since, upon appeal from the judgment of Vice-Chan cellor Knight Bruce. The bill was filed by the next friend of infants against the three persons who are exe cutors of the will of their grandfather. The defendants moved to have the bill taken off the file, but the Vice- Chancellor directed a reference to the Master to inquire whether it was for the benefit of the infants that the suit should be prosecuted. The Master reported in favour of the prosecution of the suit. Exceptions were taken to the report; those exceptions were overruled, and a pe tition was presented to confirm the report. His Honour refused to make any order on that petition, but allowed the cause to proceed; and against that course of prac tice the plaintiff appealed. his Lordship was clearly of opinion that the Court below had miscarried in this de cision; he felt, therefore, bound to reverse that judgment, and order the report of the Master to be confirmed. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) MASTERS V. THE MARQUIS DE CROISMARE.—JUDGMENT. The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued by him in No vember last, upon further directions. The suit was in stituted for the specific performance of the conditions of a settlement made on the marriage of Charles Louis, new Marquis, but then Comte de Croismare, with Miss Sophia Syer. Miss Syer was entitled to certain per sonal estates in possession, and also to certain sums of stock, in reversion, upon the death of her mother. She was also entitled to certain real estate in possession, as well as to real estate in reversion, upon the death of her mother ;_ and by deed of settlement bearing d a t e th e 27th of December, 1822, reciting the conveyance of the property to Charles Legh Hoskins Master, John Lloyd, and George Frederick, on trust to sell, it was declared that the personal estate in possession should bs) held in trust as to one moiety, for Miss Syer for life, for her separate use, and as to the other, for the Mar quis for life, and the whole for the survivor for life, with. a power of appointment to such of the children as they might think fit, and if no appointment, then in itrust . . 4 for the children equally, with limitations over. The per sonal estate in reversion was limited in the same manner, except as to the remainder over, The real estate which was ordered to be sold was limited as to the part in possession, the same way as the personal estate in posses s i on , an d as to t h at i n reversion as the personal estate in reversion; and then came the covenant whereby the Marquis covenanted with the trustees, and it was declared to be the true intention of all the parties that if the intended marriage should tyke effect, and any property, real, personal, or mixed, should at any time during the coverture be given, devised, be quathed, or any bow vested in Sophia Syer, or in said Charles Louis Count de Croismare, in her right or in his own right as her husband, then the Count de Croismare would, either alone, or in concurrence with Sophia Syer, do all such acts as might be necessary or proper for set tling the same, and all their interest therein, on the same trusts as those declared of tbe reversionary personal estate. The marriage took effect, and an undivided moiety of certain real estate in England having descended upon the Marchioness as heir, Mr. Master, :one of the two surviving trustees, filed a bill to ascertain the legal effect of this covenant, and a decree was Trade directing the Master to make certain inquiries. The Muster found, among other things, the execution of the settlement, and that the Marquis was an alien Frenchman; that the two elder of the children of the marriage were born in France, and alien s , an d t h at the others were b orn in England, and, th ere f ore, British subjects. He also found the effect of natu ra li sat i on and denisation on t h e con dition of the Ma rqu i s as a Frenchman, w i t h ot h er par ticulars. On the c ause com i ng on for furt h er di re ctions on the part of th e E ng li sh children, it was i ns i ste d t h a t the convenant or th e marr i aee sett l emen t ought to be specifically performed, and that a con veyance should b e made by the M a rchioness, on whom the property descended, to the trustees on the trust of the settlement on behalf of the French children, it was contended that the property was vested in the Marchioness, she was not bound to convey, and so it would pa ss t o h er e ld est son, who, thoug h a French man, would take as next of kin to her, by the late Act. On behalf of the Marquis, it was insisted that the pro perty should he sold, and the - money vested in the trus tees on the trusts of the settlement, in which case the Marquis would be able to derive a benefit from it. The Master of the Rolls, after going at considerable length into the facts of th e case, and admitting that t h e ques tion was oae of some difficulty and novelty, stated his opinion to be, that the after-acquired real property should be sold, and th e proceeds invested in the names of the trustees of the marriage settlement. sons to leave tumultuous essemblies when the Act was read by the proper officers, as they could not tell to what danger they might be Exposed; for all, after such proclamation, were liable to be indicted for felony, and might be transported, for the punishment had been al tered from imprisonment to expatriation. Thus parties might be punished for an offence which perhaps they never contemplated ; and in a mob they must know how di ffi cult it was to discriminate the innocent from the guilty, and how easily an innocent person might be punished. He had felt it necessary, as representing the Lord Mayor as chief magistrate of the metropolis, to make these obser vations, and he begged to remit theta to their duties with this remark, th a t th e y bring unbiassed minds to the consideration of the different cases, send those for trial who seemed amenable to justice, and he was certain they would do so with scrupulous care and anxious fidelity. The grand jury then retired. ----- 111 ARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) The whole time of the magistrate at this Court was occupied in swearing in special constables. Amongst those sworn in were —the Duke of Leeds, Lord Vivian, Lord Henry Loftus, Major-General Sir Wm. Morrison, Major-General Sutherland, INlajor Charles Agnew, Capt. Charles Ibbotson, and Colonel Dundas. NAVAL .IN TELLIGENCE. The troop-ship Bellisle, 72 guns, Captain Kingcome, will sail to-morrow from Plymouth with supernumerary seamen and boys and stores for the squadron of Vice- Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., in the Mediterra nean. Her ship's company will be paid wages this day. The Armada, 74, at Devonport, in ordinary, is ordered to be fitted as an hospital, and navigated to Portsmouth for service at that port. Her Majesty's ship Canopus, 84 guns, very recently put out of commission at Plymouth ; and the Eagle, 52-gun frigate ; and Stag, 46 gun frigate, also at Ply mouth, are ordered to be repaired forthwith for renewed service. Her Majesty's ship Bellerophon, 80 guns, Captain Baynes, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday from Spithead. THE ADMIRALTY.—The Earl of Auckland, accom panied by Lord John Russell, and some members of the Board of Admiralty, will inspect the fleet at Ports mouth to-morrow, after which Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., commanding the squadron for " parti cular service," will entertain the chief naval officers at Portsmouth, the Admiralty. and the Premier, on board his three-decker, the St. 'Vincent. Admir a l and Lady Dundas proceeded to Portsmouth on Saturday. THE ADMIRAL'S GOOD SERVICE PEresion.—The Ad miral's good service pension of 3001. per annum, which reverted to the patronage of Lord Auckland, has been conferred upon Admiral of the White Sir Charles Ekins, K.C.8., an officer of high renown for actions in which he has participated from the Dogger Bank, in 1781, to the Battle of Algiers, in which he commanded the Superb, 74, and was wounded; and of great professional attainments, as evinced in his authorship of a work en titled " Naval Battles?' CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. THE CHARTIST TRIALS. The June sessions were opened this morning at the Old Bailey before the Lord Mayor, Aldermen Gibbs, Finnis, and Salomons, and the Sheriffs Messrs. Cubist and Hill. The grand jury having been sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to address them. He said the calendar as printed contained a list of about 209 prisoners; an addition of 20 more had taken place since it was issued from the press, and tkey might reasonably expect a further accession during the progress of their labours. He feared, therefore, that their labours would be far from light; but as on occasions like that on which they had assembled, their duties were especially im portant in their character, he was satisfied they would not hesitate to render their best assistance in the public service. The cases which would come before them were in many instances of a serious character, and pre sented no indication that crimes of violence towards the person were at all decreasing. There were five charges of cutting and wounding with intent to do grievous bodily ham. There were three charges of manslaughter, two of rape, six charges of robbery, and twenty-three were charged with rioting and with assaulting police constables in the execution of their duty in endeavouring to preserve the public peace. In several of the cases the parties accused were also charged with having uttered seditious words, but, swing to neglect in some quarter, the Court had been left without the means of comment ing on any of the expressions used, and on their ten dency and legal effect. The cases of larceny were of the ordinary description, and did not demand any particular notice from the Court. With out a knowledge to be obtained from the depositions as to the exact grounds on which the parties to whom he referred had been imprisoned on the charge of uttering seditious words, it was impossible for him to speak except in general terms, or to what amounted to sedition as expressed in words spoken. Still they were not without guides and authorities on the subject, to whom he would briefly refer, to show that the amount of the malignity of any expression was materially affected by the occasion on which the words were uttered, the parties :addressed, the persons incited by sueh words, and whether the words were addressed to them for the purpose of inducing them to take a part in any present or contemplated outrage, incitement to arm, for instance, for the purpose of ffecting by force terror, or excitement any particular illegal pur pose. The unlawful use of seditious words was a misdemeanour at common law, but the offence might amount to felony under given circumstances within the provisions of a recent statute, but if taken in con nexion with a treasonable purpose or facts the offence might amount to treason itself. He had dispatched a special messenger for the depositions taken in the dif ferent cases, which ought to have been in the hands of the officers and all the parties concerned on Saturday last; they had but now been placed in his hands, and he had only had an opportunity of hastily reading through one of them. As he had said the circumstances under which seditious words were spoken was a most im portant matter for their consideration. They must not, on the one hand, infringe on the undoubted liberty of the subject to discuss public matters with decency, and with an honest purpose, with a view to the public good, but on the other, parties discussing public matters must not be permitted to act in a way utterly subversive of that purpose, calculated to propose an evil example to those whom they address. It was laid down by Lord Ellenborough, in the case of the King v. Lam bert, 2 Campbell's Reports, page 398, on a general proposition, th a t a man might lawfully discuss and cri ticise the acts of the Ministers and of the King, but he must do so fairly, temperately, and with decency and respect, and without imputing any corrupt or improper motives, and the constitution under which they lived would never have acquired that firm character which it possessed if such a right as this were not conceded to the subject, but like every other valuable right it was liable to be contravened and abused. And Lord Chief Justice Holt, on the other hand, said it would be one of the greatest libels on public liberty, if, when men acted with violence towards the state and disturbed the public peace, they were not called to account; and again, in the acaliseenaetfeTtahrerianffaecgtaioinnsst of f ob the bett p , e h op e le sh , owed that any one writing, publishing, o r utter i ng language tending to was offence of sedition, ing at the same time upon the fact that the o ff ence was mater i a lly aggravated if the words were publi s h e d or uttere d un der circum stances which endowed t h em w i th a m i sc hievous and g g u r il e t astress upon o 1337-the malignant character, and as tending to " alienate the affections of the peopl e ." I t would be for the jury to consider, when the cases to which he was referring came before them, whether the words in question were ut tered in the spirit of criticism upon the measures of Government, or whether they were of an inflammatory tendency, calculated to produce mischief. If a party, where a multitude was collected and excited, as they knew multitudes always were when they had collected in great masses, addressed, with others, speeches cal culated to move their hearers to acts of vio lence —if such an occasion had been sought by previous arrangement to vilify the Government — whether it be the legi s l a t ure, the Crown , o r the execu tive—if language be us e d w i th the i nten tion, and be vcaielcwulastoemde present to,infla e inflame, esp e cially conduct partook of the ch aracter o f se dition. At all events it was of that char acter an d d eg ree of sedition which constituted the unlawf u l use o f se ditious words a misdemeanour. A recent A ct , w i t hi n the provisions of which he did not think any o f the' persons charged e o speakers e mischief,eke rs such d i n would be brought, intituled "An Act for the better Security of the Crown and Government of these Realms," had been passed to meet a very serious public mischief; it was of so important a character that it ought to made as extensively known as pos sible. The Learned Gentleman then recited the third w clause of the Act in q u e s tion, with the p r ovisions of our readers cannot fail to be f amiliar. He also t - entered into an explanation of the ot her claus es. The object, no doubt, of the Government in passing this Act was to punish those who, in addressi n g vio lent language mischief than any to tumultuous assemblies, did more practical necessary to warn inflam matory publication. It Was Ives at meetings of a those who might find theins!. likely k i to be incited to doubtful character--meetingsicked men, of the conse quenceswriting in any mischief by designing and entailed upon them, as they which might be order to guard against the felony.

Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., we regret to hear, has sustained some injury by falling down in the High street, Portsmouth, a fortnight since. Mr. Bison ' master attendant of Woolwich Dockyard, has returned to his duties from leave of absence; and Mr. Laen, who has been acting there, has returned to the Royal Sovereign yacht at Pembroke. Lieutenant Francis D'Aguilar, who made such a gal lant and successful defence against the Brazilian slavers' attack at Bahia, will be promoted to the rank of Com mander as soon as he has served his two years' proba tion. His seniority is August, 1847.—United Service Gazette. The Firebrand is to proceed to Woolwich to be paid off, having been nearly four years in commission. At Bahia she heard of the following gallant conduct of Lient. F. J. D'Aguilar and a prise crew of the Grecian, 16, Corn. Tindal :—The Grecian had captured a clipper Brazilian hermaphrodite brig, with nearly 500 slaves on board, and having placed her in charge of Lieutenant D'Aguilar as prizemaster, with ten men, ordered him to proceed to Bahia, the sloop following him thither. The prize duly arrived, and anchored at Bahia before the Grecian, and not the slightest suspicion was entertained but that she was safe. It appears, however, that Lieut. D'Aguilar, in the ceurse of the day, received some hints to the effect that a combination was being made on shore among the slavers to attempt to retake the prize, and al though nothing definite was communicated to him, it was sufficient warning to him to be on the alert, and to take precautions which evidently saved him and his men from being massacred. The evening passed off without dis turbance, but, about 10 o'clock at night, several boats from the shore were seen pulling for the brig, containing, it was estimated, about 150 Brazilians. As they neared the prize they were hailed, and ordered to keep off, but with some boldness they advanced alongside. Having approached too near to be agreeable, Lieut. D'Aguilar endeavoured to check them by a discharge of musketry, and this commenced a most severe conflict, as the fire 'was returned by the pirates as they dashed alongside and attempted to board. That firmness and undaunted bravery, however, which is characteristic of British sea men, were here displayed in an eminent degree, and the Brazilians, with their overpowering numbers, were com pletely beaten off by Lieutenant D'Aguilar and his little band, with a loss on the enemy's side, it is said, of upwards of ten killed and thirty wounded. As may naturally be supposed, where the contest was one at close quarters, and where each of the gallant defenders had so many assailants to wait upon, they did not come out of the melee unscathed. Scarcely one of them escaped a mark, and several of them were severely wounded. Lieut. D'Aguilar received many hurts about the head. It subsequently transpired that it was the intention of these piratical Brazilians to have silently got alongside the vessel, and to have secured the prize crew. They would then have cut the cables and made sail to land the cargo of slave s a t ano th er part of the coast. Fortunately for Lieut. D'Aguilar and his gallant crew, their intentions were frustrated by their individual and collective bravery. The affair was the theme of general applause in the squad ron on th e station. The Grecian left Bahia, May 3, o n a cru i se , and the slaver prize sailed the same day for St. Helena. The Grecian is ordered home to be paid o ff. PROMOTION.

His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge left Osborne on Saturday morning for London. His Royal Highness was conveyed from Osborne Pier to Gosport in her Majesty's steam-yacht Fairy. The unfavourable state of the weather during Satur day prevented the Queen and Prince Albert from leaving Osborne House, or the Royal Children from taking their usual airings. Sir James Clark arrived at Osborne on Saturday, on a visit, and had the honour of joining the royal circle at dinner. Yesterday morning her Majesty and Prince Albert, and the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court attended Divine service in Whippinghain Church. The Royal Children took airings yesterday. STATE APARTMENTS, WINDSOR CASTLE.—We Un derstand the works to be performed at Windsor Castle render it necessary to close, on Wednesday next, for a short time, some of the rooms usually shown to the public. The rest, however, will continue open to visitors as usual. The State apartments will be shown on Mon day, as well as Tuesday, it being Whitsun week. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager attended Divine service yesterday in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The prayers were read by the Rev. Dr. Wesley, and the lessons by the Rev. Mr. Helmore. The sermon was preached by the Bishop of Oxford, from St. Luke, chap. 24, verse 49. The anthem was, " Come, Holy Ghost." Sir George Smart presided at the organ.

In consequence of the formidable preparations made by the authorities in garrisoning the different public buildings, and in organizing the police for immediate action, it was expected that the events of the day would be of a more serious and threatening nature than the late failures of the Chartist body in getting up their de monstrations led people generally to believe would be the case. Up to three o'clock, however, at which hour one of the largest meetings was announced to take place, no thing of the kind has occurred. Bonner's Fields was to be the great scene of action, and at an early hour this morning an immense number of police were marched upon the ground and took entire possession of it, about 100 men mounted on horseback, having at their sides formidable weapons, in the shape of sabres or cut lasses, and horse pistols; and a great number of those who were on foot were also supplied with cutlasses. A body of Chelsea pensioners were stationed in the grounds of the workhouse, abutting on the place of the intended meeting, and it was stated that a number of horse sol diers were also stationed in a barn in the neighbourhood. Mr. Commissioner Mayne and Captain Hay were riding about the common on horseback, and giving directions to the police. The number of people present was very limited, and many, after waiting some time without the least sign of a procession appproaching in any direction, or the least appearance of a meeting taking place, left the ground with apparent dissatisfaction. About a quar ter to two o'clock a cab was sTen to drive up rather rapidly, and having stopped close to were several inspec tors were in conversation, two or three persons, who were supposed to be Chartist leaders, got out and en tered into communication with them. The result of the communication, it was believed, was to the effect that the police would take the most determined measures to prevent the meeting if it were persisted in. The parties in question then retired and were soon surrounded by a mob, to whom they intimated the intention of the authorities to stop the meeting, adding, by way of giving a colour to the affair, that they would be fired on if they did not depart. One of them, flourishing a stick in the air, then went round a part of the ground circulating the news, and advising the people to go home and attend the meet ings to be held in their respective clubs and in the dif ferent districts. Of course this little bit of excitement was seized upon with avidity by those who had been waiting with imp at i ence for something to occur, an d this person was followed by about 400 or 500 peeople in a direction towards the Betbnal-green-road. Most of the shop s i n that neighbourboOd were closed or had their shutters put up ; but the opinion generally seemed to be that pr etty disturbance w ou ld ta k e p l ace . It is now consider ed g enerally that the prepara tions of the Governmen t and therefore were of too f orm id a bl e a cha racter, rett gave an of the Chartist leaders, threats and reported intent' which every sensible personi°nsundue importance to the knows s they are utterly in ottatould be recollected how in capable of carrying out; , b ‘v ut it i h t serious consequences lowest class of people, difficult it is to disperse ensuing, a congregated mass of the such as can be collected togepthoeohnhlaelsls occasions jo g n r s ea o t f public excitement in the metro I* precautions are taken beforehand. QUARTER TO SEVEN O'CLOCK.. Up to the hour of our going to press no disturbances whatever had occurred inj the metropolis, nor had the Chartists, or the Irish Confederates attempted to hold any open-air meetings. No doubt they will have extensive gatherings later in the evening at their various meeting-rooms, butas there is every prospect of its proving a thorough wet night, we, may safely conclude that the streets of the metropolis will remain undisturbed by Chartist brawls or Irish processions. Still the authorities have determined not to relax in their vigilance, and a sufficient guard will remain on duty to repress any outbreak that may take place. The rain, however, will afford the metropolis greater protection than all the truncheons and cutlasses put together. ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) DUBLIN.

The mysterious veil which co vers these travellers, their bearing and language, the irre gularity of their passports, and the direction in which they were going—all unite in causing such projects to be ascribed to them as to render it necessary for them to be detained a vue, until precise instructions shall be received frem the Government."

I most sincerely regret to have such reason to fear that the desired coalition of Repealers is not so im mediately practicable as is predicted in the Morning Freeman of this day, that I cannot let the week close without making public my impression on this subject. " I have received, from a most important quarter, remonstrance, couched in the very strongest terms, against giving up t h e R epeal Association, founded by Daniel O'Connell. " Difficulties of detail, also, have to some extent in tervened upon points of great importance; but my great reaso n for fearing that the coalition may sot very speedily occur, is from the remonstrance in question. The im portance of the quarter from whence it comes cannot be overrated; and I. am bound also to say that communica tions to the same effect from other quarters, also of great importance, have reached me since the first came to hand. " I therefore pray the friends of the Repeal Associa tion throughout the country to understand, that as yet nothing is settled " I am, dear Sir, your obliged servant, O'CONNELL.'"

TO THE SECRETARY OF THR BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir.—On Wednesday, June 7, the House went into Committee on the Sites for,Places of Worship in Scot land Bill, after an opposition which was put down by a majority of 84 against 59. Nothing else was to be expected, from the mode in which the opposition wa s conducted. No piece of simple prudence can be clearer, than that when an extreme and consequently a weak party makes part of a movement either for or against a measure, this extreme party ought not to be put forward as the patrons and originators of the movement; because success does not depend on how they will act, but how somebody else will agree to act along with them. In the actual instance, the opposition was put into the hands of the extremest and most inoperative por tionman decision depended d o to damage on of th e C onservatives, who did everything that in its starting, Th e more w a causehether dozen a of Dissenters, English and Irish, could be induced Ito resist the principle of taking assumed religious purposes without their consent. And to this end they were entertained with a his tory of the republican leanings of the Scottish Free Church, and its general tendency to overturn the system of Church establishments as now existing . Sir J. Graham made the only reasonable speech on the occasion. He asked why, if the process were necessary at all, it was not conducted as such processes are in other cases, by producing the individual instance, and, asking for legislation upon it. A railway does this, and why should not th e ra il way ecclesiastical ?—.the parallel was of the parties' own choosing, and there fore cannot be objected to. But this is precisely what they know better than to do. They know that if they were to begin a Bill, "Forasmuch as the Laird of Cockpen has refused to sell a site for a Free Church,with glebe and glebe-house thereunto assign able, and the said Laird's field called the ' Twelve Acre Field' has been proven to be most convenient therefor, Be it enacted &c." They know: that if theywere to do this, they would no where be listened to for an hour, and consequently they take the chance of doing things in the lump. Something was heard of an intended amendment for confining the operation of the Bill to the Free Church. In other words, the supporters begin to be aware of the difficulties which may arise out of the question whethpr the Dissenters in England and the Roman Catholics in Ireland are to have similar powers. They therefore propose to amend the matter, by admitting that the principle proposed is not one capable of general extension, and consequently amounts to an intent of particular tyranny avowed. The House of Commons is so much in the habit of yielding to the pretext of religion as advanced by victorious orthodoxy, that it is afraid to look any question in the face where the same ground is raised. It was for this reason probably, that the opposition where urged best, was imperfectly made out. No notice was taken of the fact that the English Dis senters had disavowed the principle; none, of their distinct apprehension that it only went to encourage what would in the long run be turned against them selves • and none of the most reasonable conclusi on , that iiecclesiastical imposition is to be kept down for the benefit of weaker parties, it will not be done by setting up an ecclesiastical power of interference with landed property either in the hands of one Church or of many. Surely the Dissenter must be the simplest of his race, who in such a couclusionseea comfort for Nonconformity. As the further consideration of the question is postponed to the Sth of July, there is time for those to think who h ave no t thought before. Things of thi s kind are generally done in a corner, or by a quarter of a House ; but when there is a month beforehan d, those who allow it must take the consequences. On Thursday and Friday the debate was on going into Committee on the Navigati on - laws; into Committ ee being fi nnll th e go i ng carried by 294 again st 176. It i s matter oFinteres interesting remark, how slow i s w the progre ss o f reason, and a non-c on d uc t or a legislative assem b ly is for th e a pr omotion of such process. Th e H ouse has a lurk ing at f tachment to speeches of t wo h ours long, made tropes and calc u l a ti ons on everything u ') thato sch d ool- boyo e s touch the questi on , an d go i ng off with a strong elnotl of brimstone, in p erorat i ons b eginning with Blake and ending with the d eat h o f N elson. On the other hand the real principles at issue, present th emse l ves by dilatory steps and at long intervals, like some medicine supposed too strong for the constitution of the patient, and administered drop by drop in in finitesimal doses for his security. But still the truth does advance, and in your interest. We are finding out and slowly uncovering the fact, that there have always been two ways of obtaining every commodity which is the object of consumption ; one by making it in our own country or our colonies which are a prolonga tion of it, the other by procuring it from foreigners in exchange for goods made, we will say for clearness, at Bradford. Hence arise two interests, in themselves equally just, honourable, and advantageous to the country and all concerned. If it happens, as it will happen, that it is what may be called a perfect toss up whether a particular quantity of a certain commo dity shall be of what is made at home or what is pro cured by exchange of your productions with fo reigners, no difference in price or quality absolutely existing between the two,—the question as relates to any national or general advantage to be made by the one being used instead of the other, is exactly on the same footing as the question whether flour shall be used from the miller on the north side the town, or the miller on the south. In one case the grist is to go to the mill of the home producer, and in the other it is to go to your mill, who manufacture not the thing itself but the thing for which it is to be had in exchange. You would think yourselves knaves, and simpletons to boot, if you were to begin calling out for a duty on all home-made articles, with a view to turn the scale in favour of consumption of the arti cles which are to be brought for your produce from abroad. But the other side have proved themselves not simpletons, for they have been calling out these many years and with success, for duties of all kinds to check the consumption of what your produce is in. demand to buy, and so taking the dinners out of your mouths to put into their own. And this is what they unscrupulously call helping the working classes ; and if they may be trusted upon their words, they live in the persuasion that the working classes at Bradford are learning the pike exercise with a view to ensuring this promotion of their own starva tion. They seriously declare, unless it is a solemn, joke, that the working classes believe they are dying because enough has not been done in the way of taking the meat out of the mouths of one to give it to ano ther. The stupid Court too backs them, and de clares by proclamation in the Gazette that it will do what it can to starve every man whose livelihood depends on goods that are to go abroad. What have you done, that the petticoats should take against you ? By what crime or folly of yours is it, that the influence of the Crown. should be represented as arrayed for stopping your looms, and sending your families to the poor-house and yourselves to the Test-Hill ? Did you ever ask the Court to prohibit the wearing of. British dresses, that your foreign trade might be increased ? If you did, then this is a judgment on you. But if you did not, then who is to be responsible for the peace of your locality, or to be blamed if it is disturbed, when the Queen's name is put forward by advisers, respon sible or irresponsible, to crush your trade, sell up your establishments, blast your struggles for a live lihood, and punish you as if your industry were the natural enemy of your country and mankind ? There will be no eed of it till you pluck up heart and call for a duty on some commodity home-made, for the length of time there has been a duty to prevent your trade from bringing in the foreign. This would bring the question to an issue. I represent to you seriously, that it would be a great and useful practical effort. It would raise the examination of the injustice done you, in a way never dreamed of by the Poloniuses of the Court. It might not strike at all the weights that sink you ; but if it struck at one of them, men in your condition ought to be glad to see it cut away : The Navigation-laws are a branch of the same in justice on you, acting with the advantage of being bound up with the Naval Power clap-trap. Your business should be to take the two questions one at a time. How far is it useful in a commercial sense, to take money from you and the commu nity, to put it into the pockets of shipowners an d And after settling this, how far is it necessary or wise in respect of its tendency to increase the naval farce? A first thing would be to know, how much it is to increase it. If a million a year, for example, is to be given up by the supposed process, what in crease of merchant seamen is to be the result? Is it to be ten, or a hundred, or a thousand ; for i so long as wealth is one element of naval strength, i t s clear that a sailor, like everything else, may be bought too dear. No man, for instance, would maintain that a million was well laid out to increase the mercantile marine by ten sailors; because it is clear that for a million laid out in other ways, a whole fleet and men to man it might be possessed. There is therefore somewhere a limit. Where is it ? Has it been shown ? Has anybody pretended to tell ? The naval officers say they do not perceive the neces sity. Give them the million, and they will find a way of producing more naval force with it, than by putting it into the pockets of shipowners on pretence of in creasing the mercantile marine. And till somebody can show the reason why, the naval officers should be believed. As the House has been adjourned till Thursday, I propose to take the opportunity to try to enter on some further subjects connected with your distress. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T.
