CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY The present week's arrival of English Wheat having been again small, the show of samples to.day was trifling; nevertheless, the demand for all descriptions was iu a sluggish state, barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, Monday's prices. The imports of Foreign Wheat have amounted to 5,300 quarters. Selected parcels mostly sold at full rates of currency, but all other kinds were neglected. Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, moved off slowly, at late rates. In Malt so little was doing that the currencies were almost nominal. The quantity of Oats on offer was small, yet sales progressed slowly, at barely late rates. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn commanded ♦ery little attention. In Flour we have no change to report; the nominal top figure of Town made was 46s per 280 lbs. ARRIVALS. whoat. English •• •• •• 2,290 qrs. Irish. • • •• •• •• Foreign ..•• •• Barley. I Oats.

On Saturday last Mr. Jones, solicitor to Lord Leigh, attende:l before the magistrates at the County Court, Warwick, for the purpose of making an application with reference to the late investigation at Warwick. It would be in the recollection of the magistrates that, by order of the justices, copies of the depositions taken in the charge against Lard Leigh were to be furnished to the parties on both sides. He had been supplied by their cleik with copies, and he found that the caption did not correspond exactly with the charge as set forth against Lord Leigh in the magistrates' book. His application was, there- fore, that the magistrates would order an exact copy of the charge in the book to be appended to the depositions. The caption did not set forth the terms of the charge of murder. Mr. Tibbits, the magistrates' clerk, said the caption ran thus :—" The examination of Richard Barnett, John Wilcox, William P. Roberts, Charles Griffin, Elizabeth James, Mary Draper, William Jeffs, and James Leigh, when upon oath before us, James Rattray, B. C. Wise, K. Greenway, and M. W. Heath, Esqs., four of her Majesty's justices of the peace in and for the county of Warwick, at Warwick, in the said county, this 6th day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1848, in the matter of an application made by one James Leigh for warrants that search may be made in the abutment of the bridge crossing the river Avon, in Stoneleigh Abbey Park, in the said county, for the bodies of Thomas Proud, Joseph Smith, George Matthew Billinge, and William Forbes, stated to have been murdered and de posited there." Mr. Jones said the charge in the book was entered as follows :—" County Petty Sessions, 6th of May, 1848; present, J. Rattray, H. C. Wise, K. Greenway, and M. W. Heath, Esqs. Regina, on the prosecution of James Leigh v. Chandos Lord Leigh and others.—Charge of Murder.—Application for warrant that search may be made in the abutment of the bridge crossing the river Avon, in Stoneleigh Abbey Park, for the bodies of Proud, Smith, Billinge, and Forbes, said to have been murdered and there deposited. The application is made on the joint opinions of three counsel, namely, C. W. White burst, W. Clarkson, and W. H. Bodkin." Mr. Jones then said it was not the same as the caption, and his application was that the charge set forth in the book from which he had just read should be transferred to the depositions. The caption was not a copy, inasmuch as an important line was omitted, namely, "Charge of Murder." The magistrates granted the application, and the clerk drew out an exact copy of the charge from the book, and appended it to the depositions. Aris's Birmingham Gazette. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, MAY 20.—We learn with pleasure that a meeting of the directors of this railway has been hell at Plymouth during the past week, at which it has been resolved to continue the progress of the works of this line, so as to be prepared for the extension of the opera tions immediately that such a course may be deemed advisable. We are enabled to state that the experiment with the iron cylinder at Saltash has fully answered the most sanguine expectations of the superintendent engi neer. it will be recollected that a cylinder made of boiler plate was some time since moored in the centre of the river, the object being to ascertain whether, by its sinking in the mud, it would not prove water-tight, and thus answer the purpose of an ordinary coffer-dam, to construct which in so great a depth of water would be impracticable. This experimental cylinder is 6 feet in diameter, and 85 in length. When moored in its proper position it sank at once 10 feet into the mud, the depth of the water at high tide being about 70 feet. On Tuesday evening the water within the cylinder was lowered 36 feet under high water mark, and at the end of 16 hours it had only risen again to the extent of 51 inches. Yesterday the water was further lowered feet 9 inches, and in a day or two the remainder will be drawn out, when by excavating the mud the full nature of the fourdation Hill be discovered. The rise of the 51 inches within the tube is fully accounted for by the heavy rain which fell on Wednesday, and a slight leakage in the j..iints of the boiler plates LITERARY NEWS —The public will be glad to hear that a new work of fiction, from the pen of Sir Ed ward Bulwer Lytton, entitled " Jlarold, the last of the Saxon Kings," is in the press, and will be shortly pub lished by Mr. Bentley. instant, at Knutsford, and the polling days are appointed E is L ii E x c e ir f rt or .— W T e h d e ne d sd ay ay o , nat ii ion ß f r o i r i t e h n is s e s rec iß ti ß on thef nomi nation Ts for Monday and Tuesday, the sth and 6th of June, ROBBERY OF NEARLY Two HUNDRED POUNDS.— WORCESTER, MONDAY EVENING.—For some time past this city has been infested with a gang of pickpockets, who avail themselves of the crowded markets to ease the pockets of the citizens and their wives of their loose cash. To-day a suspected rogue of this class under went an examination before Mr. Sidebottom, police ma gistrate, on a charge of picking the pocket of a lady on Saturday last, of gold and notes to the value of about 801., and a banker's draft fur 100/. The robbery was effected on Saturday last in the market-house, at mid day. The lady had been to her banker and obtained the money, and thence went to the market house, where she was bustled and robbed. The prisoner was taken as he was leaving the city by railway for Birm ingham. A large sum of money was found upon him. He stands remanded for the present. IMPROPER BURIAL OF THE DEAD.— Quite an army of sextons took possession of ;the Liverpool Police-court on Saturday, having been summoned, under the Sanitary Act, for infraction of the law in the mode of conducting interments. The informations were laid by the direction of Mr. Fresh; they were for non-compliance with that clause which requires that two feet six inches of earth shall be placed on every coffin immediately after inter ment. D. Mulligan, the sexton of St. Anthony's Ca tholic Chapel, appeared, in answer to one complaint, but contended that the Act had been complied with, which transpired to be literally true. It was explained that after a coffin was lowered to its bed of rest, by means of a machine contrived for the purpose, a body of earth, of the thickness of two feet six inches, was set down, but only to be raised, en masse, when the next in terment took place. J. Kirkham, sexton of the Wesleyan chapel, admitted that after two interments in separate graves, no soil except a small quantity, just sufficient to cover the plate of the coffin,i which was uppermost, was thrown down; but showed that this w as ow i ng to a misunderstan ing on his part, the trustees of the chapel having instructed him to comply with the Act. J. Ash croft, sexton of St. Mary's, Kirkdale, was also summoned. Mr. Rushton, at the conclusion, said the Act was of pe culiar construction, and believing they had sinned from ignorance, dismissed the cases; but warned them to comply in future with the exact conditions of the law, which was, that after each interment earth to the thick ness of two feet six inches be placed over the coffin, to remain undistui bed: until th e grave b e wanted again.

G a l e ma d e hi s 33d ascent on Monday last, in the C remorne Balloon, from t he Zoological Gar dens at Reulin g l e y, near L ee d s, acco mpanied by James Goulston, Esq., w h o ma d e h i s fi tt h ascent. The.balloon was constructed by M r. G ou l ston; it is rather more than 40 feet in diamete r , an d w ill conta in about 35, 000 feet of gas. It was entirely yellow, with the exception of the zone or belt, which was scarlet. The balloon was inflated early in the morning, near the Cardigan's Arms, Kirkstall•road, and was conveyed about eight o'clock to the gardens by means of ropes. The distance was about a quarter of a mile. The in • flation occupied three hours. The ascent took place about ten minutes before seven in the evening; the bal loon rose almost perpendicularly, and a finer ascent was never witnessed; the sun shining brilliantly at the time caused the balloon to appear like a globe of fire. After remaining in the air about three-quarters of an hour, the aeronauts descended safely within a short dis• tance of the railway station at Dewsbury, a distance of eight or nine miles from the gardens. Considerable dissatisfaction was.caused on the appear ance of the balloon with only two persons in the car, it being announced in the bills that the balloon was capable of holding 60,000 feet of gas, and was capable of ascending with twelve persons ; and, likewise, that Lieutenant Gale would be accompanied by six persons, whereas the balloon will only take four or five. FRANCE. ,The disturbances at Lyons have ceased. On this sub ject.we read in the Moniteur—" M. 'fABOURET, sub stitut du Procureur de la Republique at Lyons, has been subjected to the most violent outrages on the part of the Voraces, who imprisoned him at the Croix Rousse. He courageously resisted the most shameful treatment against his person ; summoned by irritated bands to give up prisoners who were detained on warrants, he only answered, 'The law alone can order their release, and the magistrate will only grant it on a decree of justice.'; A wretch threw a long leather strap around his face and neck, on which a cry of indignation was uttered by the young magis trate. People kill those whom they believe an enemy,' he cried, but do not dishonour him ! ' Placed in liberty after several hours of sequestration, he was only sent to Lyons sur parole, and under the condition that he would return at a fixed hour, with the order to release the prisoners. He replied, I will return without the prisoners,' and he went back to the Croix Rousse at the risk of his life, where he was delivered by some courageous men. The Court of Ap peal of Lyons immediately took in hand the procedure relative to the crime which led to the arrest of the seven individuals accused of having destroyed several machines. This was done on the demand of M. Loy so N, doing the duties of Procureur• General. All the magistracy conducted themselves nobly with courage and dignity above all praise. The Minister of Jus• tice yesterday proposed to the Commission of Execu tive Government to take the measures which these grave attempts call for, and the Government has so done. At the same time the Minister proposed the norninaticn of M. TAnouRET to the post of second advocate to the Court of Appeal at Besancon. This choice was immediately accepted. The court at Besancon will receive with eagerness a magistrate who, by his noble conduct, has merited the public esteem and the praises of the Government." I'Ve read in the Courrier de Lyon of Sunday— "The reign of the Voraces is pissed. Yesterday it was announced to this totally illegitimate corps that its services would henceforth be dispensed with. At three o'clock the Colonel of the Garde Mobile, having drawn up his men in the court-yard of the Prefecture, in front When this commu ni ca tion of the Vora ces , w h o were also in l i ne, announce d formally to themthat the aut h or i t i es h a d count to a resolution that there should b e an i mmediate en d to th e mission they had taken upon themselves. was made, the Voraces ret i re d f ro m the Prefecture to the Hotel de Ville t o j o i n th e i r comrades, who were on guard there, an d h ad in like manner been disbanded. They then took their way together towards the Croix Rousse. According to the reports in circulation, they sent out emissa r i es i n all direct i ons t o assemble parti sans, and will m ee t to d ay at V a i sse . It is believed that they ate prep ar i ng for a'detnonstration to be blade to morrow. Last ni g h t t h e V oraces ma de some attempts to raise barricad es at the Cro i x R ous se, but this was everywhere strongly opposed by the workmen, and at several points conflicts ensued. In fact, the endeavour to excite an insurrection was without any success. Mr. Rusu, the Minister of the United States, on Monday presented the following address to the five members of the Executive Government at the Petit- Luxemb)urg the 13th of Ap r il, " I have the h onour to present to y ou r Excellencies a resolution of the senate and House of R e p resentatives of the United S tates in C ongress assembled, passed on tenderin in the name and behalf of the Ameri can people, the congra t u l a tions of Congress to the people o f F rance upon t h e suc cess of their recent ~ efforts to consolidate the principles of liberty in a re publican form of government.' " The resolution has the sanction of the President of the United States, in the form prescribed by their con stitution: and I, as their Minister Plenipotentiary, have been instructed, under a clause of the resolution, to pre sent it. "In fulfilling this trust, I am charged by the Presi dent to say that these congratulations of the Legislative and Executive departments of the Government do but reflect the general feeling of the people of the United States, who never can review with indifference the pro gress of civil liberty in any part of the world, and least of all in the great nation ever associated with their own freedom and independence. "The President, beholding with admiration the spirit of order and peace which reigned as soon as the late re volution in France was achieved, has the anxious hope that the same spirit may continue. With the deepest soli citude for the welfare of France, he hopes that she may be blessed with internal tranquillity , whilst occupied in the greatwork of building up her new i nstit u t ions of goverment, and be spared the niis,) r ies of foreign war. H e b e li eves that those institutions, cal ml y constructed w ith the heat wisdom of France, will thus have aus p iciou s opportu nitiesconaina t i o )d b t e h e s ome a pprobation improved andof mankind, go as to secure to France a long care er of prosperit y and happiness. Then she will triumph most gloriously, because most du rably, in the eyes of other nations, by the influence of her own great example. The people of the United States, whose birthright was freedom, required time and peace after their revolution, successfully to found and oven, c onsolidate their system of g.. °lent; republi can i n form, popular in essence, and stable from the elements of order combined and inherent in it s structure, its effi ciency, like its durability, as been owing to its salutary checks upon power. "'These a re the sentiments, these the ardent hope cherished toward s France b y the President ; who speaks, under this solemn resolution of Congress, in the mime of the whole American People, and in the spirit of their anc ient attachment to th e i r renowned and generous ally in the days of Washingt on. I am honoured i n b e ing the medium of i-mparti n K them.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived, at Osborne at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, on i t visit to her Majesty. Her Royal Highness was at tended by her Lady in waiting, Lady Augusta Bruce, and crossed from Gosport in the Fairy steam-packet. Her Majesty and her Royal Consort walked yea terday morning in the pleasure -grounds of Osborn e , and the Royal children took their accustomed airings.

Dispatches were received at the Colonial•office from the Governor of the North American Provinces. Dispatches were also received yesterday at the Colo• ntal-office from the Governors of the West India Colonies. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last night was Madame Tadolini's second appear ance. As she was totally free from the trepidation of her first debut, less was accorded from courtesy, and greater cert ai n o The b e h e the genuin e app l ause yielded to her talent was far n u l e i a s r , a beautiful , n dherscience and pure liquid agilityqualityo of f .peculiar, n execution were fully displayed. She was called after each act, and twice after the last, independently clf the encores. At the conclusion of the overture of the Opera Mr. Lee came forward, and said that Mr. Reeves having refused to sing in Linda, the indul gence of the public was requested for Mr. Gardoni, who had kindly undertaken the part at the shortest notice. It appears that the favourite tenor was called upon to do this service to the management and ,plea sure to the public at six o'clock, and he had not seen the part for several years. He was received not only without a dissentient voice, but with a prolonged and several times renewed round of applause. Young as he is, he showed himself not o n ly an excellent vocalist, b u t a very experienoa musician--there was no trace of imperfection or of forgetfulness in his execution of the music, hi s voice blending admirably with those of his collegtokee. He was loudly encore d i n th e " rotrianza" of the second act, and recalled once more alone after one of the acts. Schwartz, Coletti, and Lablache, more fa miliar with their parts, were likewise still more effec. tive than on the first night. The great attraction of the night was the re-ap pearance of Carlotta Grisi, vdth the two other great dancers of the establish men t, R osat i and Cerrito, in one of the choice creations of Perrot, Les lilenserte. Carlotta Grisi was received with the uttnost warmth of welcome when she first appeared on the stage. After she had danced the applause was still more en thusiastic; and well it might be, for this great dancer is infinitely improved. The aplomb and originalits of her steps are extraordinary, their rapidity beye, n 4 precedent, and their daring is softened by inimitable grace. Rosati and Cerrito well maintained their great and well-merited reputation, and more en. cores were demanded of them than they could respond to. The scene presented great piquancy, and ex cited great amusement; and Les Elemens will, no doubt, for a time, exclude all other devices of cho regraphy. Hia Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia honoured the performance with his presence, occupying the box of the Queen Dowager. His Serene Highness Prince Frederick William of Hesse was also present, end the house generally was well attended by a crowded and fashionable audience. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN.

LAST NIGHT'S OBSTRUCTION TO REFORM. The obstruction to the reform movement, offered last night in the House of Commons, by one party, and the extraordinary declaration of another that the middle and working classes do not desire such reforms as are advocated by the Reform League, have given else to the following letter from Mr. Hume, which he has forwarded, to us for publication:— TO THE REFORMERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. House of Commons, Midnight, May 23, 1848. Gentlemen,—You are aware that this evening was fixed for bringing forward that important motion re specting the reform of the representation which had been decided on after much consideration and commani. cation with the reformers of the country, as best adapted to conciliate and unite the largest amount of publio opinion. A previous motion of Lord George Bentinck's has occupied the attention of the House until after eleven o'clock, when it appeared to myself and friends around me that it was too late to secure for the question that discussion to which it is entitled; and I have therefore been compelled to postpone the motion to the 20th June, that being the earliest vacant day on the order book of the House. The Prime Minister having seized this opportunity of stating, in his place, that neither the middle nor the working class of this country are favourable to the reforms of which I had given notice, the delay will afford you, the reformers of the United Kingdom, the means of making known your opinions and wisbes in the usual constitutional manner.-1 remain your obedient humble servant, JOSEPH HUME.

The advancing season brings th e usual phenomena of i ncreas i ng temperature and its concomitants along with it, and movements, singularly sluggish before, are not likely to be in creased in their energy or vivacity with the thermo meter in the sun at 150 deg., or in the shade at 90 deg. The most important items of our intelligence continue to be commercial. Judgment has been given in the Supreme Court at Calcutta in favour of the validity of poet-bills issued to the extent of above a million sterling, by the Union Bank. Though not only not recognised by the charter, but in contravention of its provisions, the existence of post-bills was known to the shareholders—their issue was acquiesced in by their accepting a share of the profits realised on them, and their validity was believed in by those who accepted of them, and therefore in equity they are held valid. The soundness of the views of the Court seem generally ac quiesced in, though at variance with the opinions previ ously given by counsel. This will maintain or extend the responsibilities of the shareholders in proportion as it protects the interests of the bill-owners. The prospects of the bank seem to darken on every side ; the share holders hold back in stolid apathy, while the creditors are beginning to push their claims with relentless determina tion. The debtors of the bank, and those who have lite rally made away with a couple of millions of its funds, are treated with a gentleness and forbearance which contrast singularly with the warmth with which the un happy shareholders are urged on. Mr. Ayrton, attor ney, has been sent round by the Commercial Bank of Bombay, to insist on early payment of the 40,0001. of its funds appropriated to their own uses by the Union Bank when sent to them for the purchase of bills on England. The members of the Cal cutta Bar have unanimously refused to hold briefs along with Sir Thomas Turton, one of those most deeply implicated in the bank transactions. Sir Thomas was, it may be remembered, secretary to Lord Durham in Canada in 1838. He was a barrister of much repute and high practice. Shortly after his return to India he became Ecclesiastical Registrar of the Su preme Court, with a salary of 6,000/. a year. While in this position he speculated largely with the funds committed to his charge—the deficit amounting to some 50,0001. On these coming to light he resigned his appointment, with a view of resuming practice at the bar, when his brethren refused to accept of briefs along with him. Mr. Grant, son of the late Chief Jus tice Sir John Peter Grant, seems to be in not much better favour, and for kindred reasons. The firm of Carr, Tagore, and Co., of Calcutta, have become inset vent. The liabilities of the house amount to 254,6201., and the assets to 290,2951. Inability to meet present demands upon them has been the cause of the firm suspending business.—The error in the Act (No. VI. of 1847) repealing the duties on all goods shipped from port to port in the Company's dominions, has been detected and amended, as we ex pected that it would. The Act is now in operation. —The houses of Barlow and Co. and H. Adam and Co, at the Mauritius, have declared themselves insolvent. Their liabilities respectively are 337,965 dollars and 2,378,293 dollars, and assets 107,800 dollars and 1,043,580 dollars.—lshim-Khan, the Boogtic Chief, who surrendered himself in September last a fter the brilliant action of Lieut. Merewether, and who had been located by Government on the rich lan ds near Larkanah, has fled with his family to the hills. He is expected to be joined by all the members of his tribe, and it is apprehended that he may give us some trouble on the frontier nex t cold season, unless intercepted by the in defatigable Sinde llorse.—The Sinde Gazette, after a short career of six months, has been discontinued—its pro prietor, Mr. Von Geyer, late clerk in the Commissariat, having been placed in confinement on suspicion of pecu lation from Government, Some improper allusions having ten months since got into our paper through inadvertence in reference to this gentlemen, he was allowed some months' leave from the late Governor of Sinde that he might proceed to Bombay and prosecute the Bombay Times. Every reparation that could be desired having been voluntarily made the instant it was discovered that injury had been done, the idea of legal proceedings was dropped, much to the disappeintment of those who had encouraged it.—Sindo throughout has become for the:present trans formed from one of the most sickly to ono of the most salubrious of the provinces we possess ; it still re quires seventeen thousand men to guard it. The Commissioner, Mr. Pringle, returned two dal s since t o the Presidency on domestic affairs—he and his fainily will shortly return to Kurracheo.—The D ewan o f Mooltan is said to have agreed to surrender to the Lahore State the lease by which he at present holds this very valuable district.—Mr. Vans Agnew was to proceed thither,.Capt. Lumsden joining him fro m P es h awur. Her Majesty's 10th Regiment of Foot had moved into the new barracks built for them at Anarkullce. The weather was warm, but the health of th e t roops was excellent —A public , meeting, numerou s an d respectable almost . without precedent, took place in the Town Hall on the sth for the inauguration of the Mechanics' Institute la tely estab lished among s t us . Th e Chief Justice, S ir Erskine Perry, presided, and delivered a very excellent add ress on the occasio n . The other speakers were Professor Giraud, Mr. Cr aw f or d , b arrister, Mr ny beare, civil engineer, Lieut. B ur k e, Mint eng ine e r , co Dr. Buist, Dr. Downes, Deputy A ssay Master Mint, Archdeacon Jefferies, and,the Rev. Drs. Stevenson and Wilson. Go vernment and the community generally, have done everything in th e i r power to promote the interests of this promisin g an d pra i seworthy institution; the Chief Justice has subscribed 1001. to its funds. Some discus sion has occurred on the subject of uniting the institu tion with the Native General Library, an admirable institution, over whose interests the Chief Justice also presides; to us it appears that the two are much more likely to be useful separately than combined. A subsciption for a testimonial to Lord Hardinge is presently in progress throughout the northern division of the Bombay army. Upwards of 1,0001. has in the course of the past fortnight been subscribed in the Bombay presidency to the fund for the relief of the family of the late Captain Stokoe, murdered by the con victs under his charge while commanding the ship General Wood. The troops have bean directed to withdraw from the hill country during the sickly season. His Highness the Raja of Setters died on the sth instant, in the 46th year of his age; he had occupied the throne since the deposition of his brother in 1839, and ruled wisely and well. He leaves no heirs behind him, and the country lapses to the British Government : its net revenues amount to 150,000/. a year. It will for the present, it is understood, be placed under a Commission. - FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.
