THE SUN LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 25, 1848. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy. Sales, 3,500 balsa. Railway Shares were a shade better. The Money Market is rather more feverish to-day, on account of the intelligence from Paris of the renewal of disturbances, but probably in the end there will be no particular influence exercised upon it, or rather the reaction that has occurred may be recovered, should peace he restored to France. The commercial markets have not been affected hitherto, but must be somewhat clogged, unless an alteration occurs. The accounts by the Tay steamer, from the West Indies, are given fully in another column of The Sun, but we may remark that there is not any particular feature in them. The mercantile houses in the City state, that their corre spondents are specially anxious to learn whether there is a hope of the discriminating duties being reim posed upon sugar, and we need hardly remark that this anxiety will not be long ere it is relieved, though not, perhaps, in the way anticipated. Our Government cannot return, in the present temper of the times, to the sys tem of class legislation, and is not so inclined. A small firm in the African trade at Liverpool is an nounced as having suspended payment. The Belgian Government has asked the Chamber of Deputies for a loan of 25,000,000 francs, or permission to issue Exchequer-bills to that amount. The Funds have to-day felt more seriously tho effect of the accounts from Paris, which now are regarded with some anxiety. Consols opened at 88i, fell to 87, and are now 81 to 88. Time bargains were made at 881 to 88, and since at Bsll. The settlement of the account has been completed to-day, and the pay ments this morning have been made with tolerable regularity, although one or two parties are in difficulties. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 30s. premium. Bank Stock is worth 198 to 1991, and India Stock 244. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 891 and 89. Spanish Active Bonds are 20i and Portuguese small 26. Brazil Stock is worth $34 to $4l. Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. are 331. Shares are dull. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FITNDS. O'CLOCK.

GU?ZOT has fallen, and yet the insurrectionary move ment rages with redoubled fury in the streets of Paris. Count MOLE is installed as Prime Minister, and yet the insurgents are more than ever irate, are more than ever enthusiastic, are more than ever resolute in bearding the military strength of the SOVEREIGN. The revolt of a faction has dilated into the revolution of a people, the disturbance of a day into the convulsion of an epoch, the peril of a Cabinet into the endangerment of a Monarchy. Nor can this be any matter of astonishment. Con servatism has so long tampered with the personal rights of Frenchmen, and has so flagrantly outraged the nutional liberties of Franee, that some prolonged struggle for their reclamation, their vindication, and (if possible) for their permanent consolidation, has become inevitable. Louis PiiimPPß has trifled with the dearest and; holiest aspirations of a great people, and must consequently anticipate a lengthened crisis when once the passions of that people have been fairly aroused, and especially now that their phy sical puissance has been so signally displayed in the face of a standing army of nearly 100,000 of the best disciplined soldiers in Europe, supplied with an almost inexhaustible ammunition, furnished with an abundance of provisions, shielded at once by the constitutional lag i s of the law, and by the stone defences of immense and almost impregnable forti fications. Without any outrage beyond that of destroying a stray omnibus, overturning a fiacre, pillaging a gun factory, breaking the doors of a guard-house, liberating a few prisoners, and heaping the stones of the pavements into barricades, the Parisians have conquered the despotic force which had of late years enthroned itself in the Tuilarise, and have driven a Ministry of eight years' duration from authority, amidst the igno minious execrations of the Opposition. The Pari sians had acaomplished all this without as many arms as would go into the quiver of a Paphian huntress; they had subjugated the flatterers of the Orleans Dynasty without the clink of a bludgeon or the detonation of an ounce of gunpowder. Has any city, under such infuriating circumstances, ever evinced a more sublime and undeniable moderation ? No; not one ! History is its witness. At ter such testimonies of magnanimity, therefore, after so many noble evidences of the popular wish to combine legality with innovation, it is not surprising that the citizens of that splendid capital should be driven into the commission of excesses, now that their forbearance has been repaid by such tardive and insufficient concessions. GUIxOT, it is true, has been compelled to deliver in his resignation, but then that resignation has been succeeded by the formation of a Cabinet quite unfitted for the emer gency, under the presidency of a statesman whose energies are unstrung by extreme age, and of whom it must be confessed, notwithstanding his integrity, that his genius is suite inadequate to the occasion. Not only is this inefficiency of the new Adminis tration an ample reason for the renewed excitement of the insurgents, but it must be recollected that this aggravation has been coincident with a very me morable and animating occurrenoe. The National Guards here fraternised with the people, they have declared for reform, they have joined their voices with those of the multitude in crying out, "A bas GuizoT!" they have chaunted with the mob the heroic couplets of the Marseillaise, they have bee■ saluted with that most glorious of all titles, " Les Vrais defenseurs de la Patrie r Now that the vast and organized army of the National Guard has declared itself in favour of the populace it is impossible to put any limits whatever to the results of the present insurrection, or rather to the new phase in that great French Revolution which virtually commenced in the middle of the eighteenth century. Extraordinary results, in esicraso of the revolt, have already taken place—results so extraordinary to betoken in a conspicuous manner the increased agitation and reanimated daring of the already victo rious Parisians. Several of the railway stations conti guous to the metropolis have been seized isy the in surgents, and the iron rails torn up so as to preclude the possibility of any very speedy reinforcements of troops to the Government. Severe conflicts have also occurred in different quarters between the mob and the Municipal Guards, who, from the commencement of the outbreak, have been treated with jealous ab horrence. On the other hand, the regular troops have received every token of friendship from the people, and have evidently fulfilled the directions of their superiors with an excessive re luctance. In the Faubourg St. Martin and the Faubourg St. Antoine—localities already famous for the conflicts they have witnessed under the championship of HS/MOT—the fury of the in surrection appears to have attained its acme. Not only were platoons of infantry posted before the. Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres, not only were squa drons of cavalry placed in the Champs Elysees and the Place de Carrousel, not only were forty pieces of cannon on the esplanade of the Invalides, not only did the troops of the line bivouao in the Boulevards during the night of Wed nesday, but formidable bodies of infantry, cavalry, Chasseurs u cheval, cuirassiers, dragoons, and Municipal Guards were clearing the streets at inter vals, occasionally charging down upon the dense masse s of the people, and sometimes alarming the more pacific civilians by the roar off cannon and the rattlin g fire of musketry. According to the vague reports which have arrived, the bloodshed in several directions has been frightful, although every exertion has been made and every device resorted to by the insurgents to prevent a needless expenditure of life. Glass, for example, was scattered aver the causeways to impede the movements of the cavalry; and the National Guard, in like manner,cos operated with the multitude in striving to hinder an much as possible any very serious collision. Altogether, Paris is in a deplorable state of p an i c and agitation. If we may credit some of the most recent intelligence which has been. received, more barricades have been now raised in the streets of the capital than were erected in the Tevolutionary days of 1830. Traffic was impeded--most of the shops were closed—and, as during the Great Plague of London, the ejaculation " LORD have mercy upon us ! " was chalked upon the doors of those houses where the inhabitants were stricken with the pestilence, so it would seem that the doors of several of the tenements in the Rue St. AvoYe are narked with the insc4iption, " loi ox donne des acmes r as a protection from assault and pillage. Among other causes of terror to the more peaceful Parisians are the conflagrations which have lighted up several of the districts in which the gas lamps had been entirely destroyed. In this manner it would seem that the manufactory of omnibuses at Neuilly had been ignited, and a guard-house in the Champs Elysies committed to the flames. The Government is in a state of dismay—the troops, numbering almost 100,000 men, are strong enough to crush a mere rabble twice their superiors in nume rical strength—the Bourse experienced; the effects of this great emergency, as visibly as a magnetic needle vibrates under an extraordinary electrical con dition of the atmosphere—the more sober citizens were breathless with agitation—and a terrible blood shed was anticipated. Such was the position of the French metropolis up to the period when our latest dispatches had been received; and from the unwonted delay of our ordinary express, we dread that some unusual catas trophe has interrupted the line of communication. Whatever may be the immediate consequence, the Reformers of France have at last drawn the sword. The standard of a new revolution has been unfurled at Paris; it flutters from the church turrets of Amiens, and we doubt not but that the tocsin is now sounding, and the rappel beating in many of the ancient cities of the French dominion. A grand alternative at length presents itself to King LOUIE PHILIPPE. Shall he reign by liberality or by despotism—by a liberality strong in the po pular affections, or by a despotism potent through the sword, the bayonet, and the howitzer ? Shall he secure to himself the love of his people, or the hatred of all posterity—the first by taking the initiative in constitutional reforms, the second by empowering his troops to commit the " can naille" of Paris to destruction ? Shall he sink into decrepitude in a palace guarded night and day by praetorians and janissaries, or shall he, like the Reforming Princes of Italy, pass unattended through the swarming concourse of his subjects—unscathed in his security and invulnerable in their love ? Will he still hearken to the insidious incitements of GUM; as CIiARLES X. listened to those of the recreant POLIGNAC? Will BUQSAUD enact the part so feebly enacted of old by MARMON; and will JACQUEMINOT become his lieutenant, and conduct the detested guards of the municipalities against those brave Nationals who have been hitherto taught to regard him as their father ? Amidst all these memorable tumults, in the midst of this remarkable insurrection, an Arm, a Voice is wanting—Paris is waiting for a LAFAYETTB. The agitation against the Income-tax goes on gloriously. The metropolis is meeting by parishes to protest against the re-imposition of this iniquitous tax, and all the large provincial towns are doing their duty. Norwich meets this day. The Chamber of Commerce of that ancient oity, which has taken the initiative on this occasion, represents, we are told, upwards of two hundred arms, all the members of which protest against the iniquity of taxing the hard-earned in come of the man of industry at the same rate as the income derived, by the idler from invested property, which property goes to his family after his death, while the income of the industrious man dies with him. At Bury a petition is in the course of signature, which will be presented on Monday. Liverpool and Birmingham are organizing, and the Scotch are loud in their expressions of indignation. We are rejoiced to find this spirit so generally prevailing through out the country. The provincial press is unanimous in its expressions of reprobation. Whig, Tory, Ra dical, Protectionist, there is no exception 1 all are against the abominable five per cent. income-tax. We would urge on all the necessity of not slumbering at their posts. Petition! Petition! Petition I Let each elector sign the petition against it, and add the designation Elector to his name. Bombard the House night after night with these petitions, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL must and will give way. He will not want a good Whig precedent to justify himself for so doing. Lord ALTHORP was obliged to withdraw his first budget, and propcse a new one, and it will be the fault of the people them selves if Lord JOHN RUSSELL be not compelled to follow the example of his predecessor. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has given to his subjects a constitution even more liberal than that given by the King of NAPLES. The Members of the Senate are to be elected for life, and those of the Council General for a fixed period. It is declared in the 6th Article, that the liberty of commerce and in dustry shall be the fundamental principle of the economical law of the State. All religions are tolerated, and the law of mortmain is extended to the whole of the Duchy. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 16th. The Prime Minister SALDAMIA had promised a modification of the Charter, and the Government had proposed a Bill for th• regulation of the National Battalions, which it was supposed would pass. The debate on the Speech from the Throne had not com menced in the Deputies, nor concluded in the Peers. There were rumours of a split in the Cabinet. ~ ,141- •.-.::', ' ... - s o il- 1 5 ... ,: - .''f r... , . , -t , -- 1 . , ;k.nr". .. - Ar.- . • s ''-'' t-',:t14, - ,"4 . 710% -' -- "„'''' 4 1,4,,; 1 ' ). ..v • • .4211 " „!!isl, . .."0 , ..

It appears that the people have taken possession of all the railways leading to Paris, and taken up the rails, so as to prevent the arrival of reinforcements. There has been a frightful loss of life, and in many instances the troops have refused to act against the people. The passengers from Boulogne to Paris were obliged to return from Neuchatel to Boulogne, as the railway is stopped. It is said that an attempt has been made to burn the Tuileries. SUN-OFFICE, Three o'clock. We are still without direct intelligence from Paris. It is said, however, that the Government have re ceived a telegraphic communication which describes the state of Paris as fearful. The latest direct intel ligence goes no later than Wednesday evening, at which time the people were erecting barricades in all direc tions, and making all the necessary preparations for a fierce conflict. It is said that the revolt is extend ing to the provincial towns, and that Amiens has " pronounced" in favour of the Reform movement. It is said that cannon had been fired in the streets of Paris yesterday. The fact that all communication between Paris, and Calais and Boulogne, is stopped, is alone sufficient to prove that Paris was yesterday, and is most probably to-day, the scene of a most frightful carnage. SUN-OFFICE, Half-pad Three. There is a rumour prevailing in the City that the KING of the FRENCH has landed at Dover. We give this merely as a rumour, without in the least vouch ing for its authenticity. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT Tin LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Fan. 24.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. 3.—The demand has not been so good during the past week, and the sales do not exceed 400 hhda., for which importers have submitted to a decline of is. per cwt. from the highest point of the market, at which reduction they are firm. The sales of rums are 120 puns, principally Demeraras, at full rates. ___ ___ _ _ --- UNDERMINING. The Bradford workhouse is threatened to be remorselessly undermined by coal workings. unless 2001. be paid down directly to prevent the risk of its destruction; but the threat appears to have accidently revealed the fact, that both the ground and the minerals beneath its surface belong to the work house itself! So that the biter is likely to be bit, if it be true that he has thus unwarily caught a tartar. We are glad to learn that some of the print-fields in the neighbourhood of Glasgow are commencing, though slowly, to show signs of briskness. The Busby field, and some others, are now in full operation, and more are expected to follow soon. The operative calico printers have, we believe, suffered more from the late depression than any class of tradesmen in Scotland.— Glasgow Chromate. CORONER' S I N gu lsT .—Y es t e rd a y a coroner ' s in quest was held by Mr. Bedford, at the Sun, Castle street, Leicester-square, on the body of Eliza Frances Ridley, aged 40. On Saturday last the deceased was in good health, and on the Sunday morning was taken with vio lent pains and died shortly after. On a post morees examination a quantity of arsenic was found in the stomach. The inquest was adjourned. Two men have died of starvation during the past week in Compton-place, Brunswick-square.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. A very mo, 3.srate supply of English Wheat has been received up to our market this week, coastwise as well as by land car ri age, and the stands, to-day, were scantily filled with samples. Selected quantities moved off steadily at about Monday's quotations; but all other kinds were 'very- dull, and lat• rates were with difficulty supported. Toe imports of Foreign Wheat have con slated of 6,.150 quarters. In that description of grain next to noth.in g was doing at barely stationary prices. Superfine Ba r ley was quite as dear. All other kinds were easier t A purchase. So little business was doing in Malt, that ; prices were almost nominal. Oats, Beans, Peas, and I adian Corn were heavy, and the turn lower.

A case, " Levi Swallow," for false imprisonment, was proceeding, and likely to occupy several hours. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. ;Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN RE HAMMOND. _ .. . In this case the bankrupt, who was described as an architect in Threadneedle•street, came up and passed his last examination. In the course of the meeting a proof was tendered on a bill of exchange of which the bank rupt was the drawer, but which had been dishonoured. The question was, whether the holder was bound to give notice of dishonour to the assignees. His lloNotra said, that as a fiat in bankruptcy might be sued out on a bill even before it was due, as it was proof of a debt he could not see any reason why notice should be given to the assignees if it did not come due till afterwards. In this case, however, notice had been given to the bankrupt, and that was clearly sufficient— tbe proof was therefore admitted. • THAMES.-(THIS DAY.) Michael M'Manaa, a respectable-looking young man, described as a student, was brought before Mr. Ballan tine, charged with stealing 200 sovereigns, the property of his uncle, Rev. John Ryan, the parish priest of Athea, in the county of Limerick. Police-constable Shene, No. 388 K, stated that on the 17th instant, the prisoner came to his house, mad said he had just arrived from Ireland, and that he had been lodging at witness's brother's house, and that he did not like to leave his money there. He then requested wit ness to take charge of a small mahogany cash-box, and left the house. Witness did not see him again until Sunday last, when ho told witness that he robbed his uncle in Ireland of a large sum of money. Witness al lowed the matter to rest for a few days, in consequence of his knowing where to find the prisoner. Yesterday morning witness proceeded to the house of his brother, and he was informed that a letter had been received from Mr. Ryan, stating that the prisoner had stolen from his house the sum of 200 sovereigns. Witness's brother had given the prisoner the letter, and when witness reached his house he found the prisoner waiting for him. He said the witness would find 86 sovereigns in the cash-box, and the remainder he had left with a cousin in Ireland. Witness then took him into custody, and lodged him at the station-house. Mr. BALLANTINE asked the prisoner what he had to say in defence of this charge ?—The ,prisoner replied that he had nothing to say. He stole the money. Mr. BALLANTINE—I shall remand you for a week, and in the mean time letters shall be written to Mr. Ryan, who will probably attend. WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Herman Geiger, stated to be a reduced wine merchant, and Martha, his wife, who had as infant at her breast, were charged as follows: — Mrs. Phillis Barnet, landlady of the White Hart Inn, Kingsland-road, said they came to her house and took lodgings for the night, on Saturday se'nnight. They remained there a few days, and left at request of witness, who, however, on going into the room they had vacated, discovered that a pillow, a blanket, a table-knife, and several other articles were missing. They were subse quently discovered and given into the custody of a police constable, and the knife was found in their possession, but no other property belonging to witness. They had a profusion of trunks and boxes. Mr. Best, proprietor of the Railway Coffee House, Shoreditch, said, the prisoners, accompanied by two children, besides the infant, came to his establishment in a cab, and engaged an apartment. Their boxes, which were numerous, were weighty, and their appear ance altogether was such as to indicate their having just arrived by railway. They run up a score, but the stench which came from their room, and which be had since found was emitted from their boxes, which contained de cayed cabbage leaves and other filth, had rendered the house intolerable, and he would freely forego the debt they had contracted if they would take their things and themselves away from his premises. Mr. ARNOLD remanded him for a week, but subse quently took their own recognizances for their appear• mice at that time. . _ _ Inspector Gravestock said that 47 duplicates had been found in their possession, evidently all relating to their own property. He believed the prisoners to be greatly distressed. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) LANCASTER. Tho Lancaster Election Committee re-assembled at the usual hour ; Mr. Deedos in the chair. Abraham Maunsey, a freeman of Lancaster, proved that on the day of the election he attended at the com mittee-room of Mr. Gregson, where he saw the freemen plentifully supplied with wine. Mr. Gregson and Mr. %Vyse were present, and while he remained in the room the freemen consumed upwards of 50 bottles of wine. He did not vote on either side. James Dodson, the witness committed yesterday, was recalled and examined by the Chairman. He contradicted a statement he made yesterday that Mr. Salisbury, the petitioner, held a com munication with himself and other witnesses while thoyAwere waiting at an inn in Palace Yard. LYME REGIS. The Lyme Regis Election Committee met again at the usual hour this morning; Lord Ashley in the chair. Air. HILL opened the case of bribery which the sitting Member was prepared to make out against Sir Fizroy Kelly, the petitioner against his return. He said he should be able to prove that in the case of one voter Sir Fitzroy Kelly himself told the voter, that if he would vote for him he (Sir Fitzroy Kelly) would remember him after his election, remarking that he was an advo cate of the principle that one good turn deserved another. He should also establish many other cases of bribery committed on the part of the agents of Sir Fitzroy Kelly, which he could not pass over without calling the especial attention of the Committee to it, inasmuch as it disclosed a novel mode of bribing a voter. It was a case of Mr. Lund, a butcher, of Lyme Regis, who was bribed to vote for Sir Fitzroy Kelly by the landlord of the inn Sir Fitzroy put up at during the election, in a manner which he had certainly never heard of before. The voter had presented to him several heads ) of fine fat cattle, and after the gift he made no secret that it was the present which induced him to vote for Sir Fitzroy Kelly. The sitting Member felt assured that if he substantiated his case, the Committee would pass such a condemnatory resolution as should have the effect of deterring Sir Fitzroy Kelly from resorting to these corrupt practices in future. KINSALE. The Committee re-assembled at the usual hour this morning; Mr. Bouverie in the chair. Mr. Sergeant WRANorasx was occupied the whole of the morning in replying to the case made out on behalf of the sitting Member. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. -By the Priscilla we have dates from Pernambuco to the 24th of January. There was some improvement in commercial matters, and freights were tending upwards. Exchange, 27id. SOUTRAM?TON, T H URSDAY, FED. 23 .—The Penin sular sad Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Iberia, Captain Burney, arrived this mornin g fr om Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, Civita Vecchia, calling at Gibraltar. She brings fifteen passengers and a good cargo. The Madrid, Captain Weeks, is expected to morrow, and tho liindostan, Capt. Lewes, on the 26th. LITERATURE. THE PICTORIAL BOOK OF BALLADS. 1 Vol. Edited by J. S. Moore. Second Series. Honour to old Bishop Percy ! the conservator and eulogist of some of the rarest and sweetest of metrical compositions. If ever a nation was rich in ballad lore, England is that nation. The melody, the pas sion, the tenderness, and the humour of our song writers have survived the lapse of centuries, the fluc tuations of fashion, and the vicissitudes of events. Even the extraordinary changes which have taken place in the language have not rendered these ancient rhymes obsolete. " Fair Rosamond " still excites the sympathy of all true Britons; the " Spanish Lady's Love " still is an object of no slight attraction ; and the " Lytell Geste of Robyn Hode," still possesses an indescribable and eternal fascination. " King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid " have had their for tunes recounted in the matchless melodies of Alfred Tennyson, and yet, in spite of the superior elegance of the living poet, the rude tale, as originally told, is perused with something beyond mere curiosity. We are gratified, therefore, to witness this graceful reprint of our dear favourites, embellished with nume rous engravings on wood, illustrated by many valuable foot-notes, and accompanied by several modern pieces of versification of singular beauty,—edited moreover by one so well qualified for the task as Mr. Moore. We observe that in his prefatory remarks the editor acknowledges the assistance he has received in his researches from Mr. J. H. Dixon, from Mr. Tillin ham, from Mr. I. 0. Halliwell, and from Mr. Thomas Wright. At the same time it would be unjust were we not to commend the care with which Mr. Moore himself has throughout collected his materials, and the sagacity with which he has fre quently been enabled to explain what was hitherto dubious, and to illuminate what was hitherto obscure. One note we regard as so remarkable in many respects that we transcribe it entire ; it is appended to " The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," and has reference to a passage in the "Voyages of Shel vocke," which the editor considers as having afforded the incident upon which Coleridge founded his wonderful poem. " The passage," says Mr. Moore, "is found in a work entitled, A Voyage round the World by Way of the Great South Sea, performed in the years 1719, 90, 21, 22, in the Speedwell of London, of 24 guns and 100 men (under his Majesty's Commission to Cruize on the Spaniards, in the late War with the Spanish Crown,) till she was cast away on the Island of Juan Fernandes, in May, 1720; and afterwards continued iu the Recovery, the Jesus Maria, and Sacra Familia, &c. By Captain George Shelvocke, Commander of the Speedwell, Recovery, &c., in this Expedition. London, 1726.' We had not had the sight of one fish of any kind since we were come to the southward of the streights of Le Mair, nor one sea bird, except a disconsolate black albitross, who accom panied us for several days, hovering about us as if he had lost himself, till Hatley (my second captain) observing, in one of his melancholy fits, that this bird was always hovering near us imagined, from his colour, that it might be some ill omen. That which, I suppose, induced him thej more to encourage his superstition, was, the continued series of contrary, tempestuous winds, which had oppressed us ever since we had got into this sea. But be that as it would, 'he, after some fruitless attempts, at length shot the Albitross, not doubting (perhaps) that we should have a fair wind of it. This hope, however, was not realised, for the bad weather continued until the vessel was eventually ' cast away,' as the title-pan expresses it, on the Island o f J uan F ernan d es. While throwing out this hint as to the origin of the story of the " Ancient Mariner," the editor expresses his unbounded admiration for the genius displayed by Coleridge in its composition. The entire volume of ballads is produced in a manner worthy of the sub ject ; it is reading for the chimney corner and for the greenwood glades—the very title-pagekmblazoned in gold, green, scarlet, blue, and amber, is symbolical of the contents, and the appendix itself is pregnant with interest. IN THE MATTER OF DR. HAMPDEN. CASE FOR THE OPINION OP SIR FITZEOT KELLY, Da. ADDAMS, Ma. A. J. STEPHENS, AND Ma. BA DELEY.—The see of Hereford having lately become vacant, by the promotion of Dr. Musgrave to the archiepiscopal see of York, Dr. Hampden was, in obedience to the Queen's mandate and letters missive, elected in his room by the Dean and Chapter of Hereford. At a court, holden by the vicar-general of the Archbishop of Canterbury, at Bow church, on the 1 lth day of January last, for the pur pose of confirming such election, in answer to the first citation three clergymen (two of whom hold be nefices in the diocese of Hereford) came forward, by their proctor, to oppose Dr. Hampden's confirmation, and in due form of law tendered articles of objection impeaching his orthodoxy. The Vicar-General re fused to entertain the objections, or even to suffer the opposers to appear ; thereupon they applied to the Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel the Arch bishop or his Vicar-General to hear them. That Court at first granted a rule nisi; but, on cause being shown, the judges were equally divided in opinion, and in consequence the application for the mandamus fell to the ground. You are now requested, on the part of the ob jectors, to state your opinion whether they can or ought to take any, and what further steps, either by a writ of error, appeal, petition to the House of Lords, or otherwise, with a view, first to establish their right to urge their objections in opposition to Dr. Hampden's confirmation ; and, if successful, then to try the ques ti on o f h s fitness, in point of doctrine, to be confirmed and consecrated to the see of Hereford. OramoN.—As the Court of Queen's Bench baa given no judgment in the case, neither declaring what the law is, nor enabling the objectors to ascertain it, we cannot suggest any other means by which redress san be secured. We are of opinion, that no writ of error lies from the late proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench, that remedy being confined to cases where the writ of mandamus has issued, and it is for this very reason that on other occasions, however unimportant (as Lord Denman admitted in this judgment), where any of the judges have expressed the slightest doubt, the Court has always allowed the writ to go, to prevent a failure of justice; the late statute of 1 William IV., c. 21, and 6 and 7 Vic., c. 67, having been passed expressly for the purpose of giving, by means of that writ, more easy and effectual relief. We are also of opinion that no appeal lies in the present case from the sentence of the Vicar-General to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the want of such a power of appeal having not Only been admitted both by the bench and the bar during the late argument in the Court of Queen's Bench, but having also beep expressly declared by Mr. Justice Patteson, in his judgment. We think, however, that, under these circum stances, it may be desirable for the objectors to pre sent a petition to the House of Lords, setting forth the facts of the case, and praying their Lordships to take such steps as they may deem expedient for providing an adequate remedy, and for ascer taining what the law on this subject really is. As the judges of the Queen's Bench are equally divided in opinion, it is obvious that the law is at present doubtful, and that the Court is unable to remeve that doubt ; and it is impossible to deny that the greatest inconvenience must exist so long as the doubt re mains, for not only may the very same difficulty recur on every future confirmation of, a bishop, but the validity of Dr. Hampden's episcopal acts and the exercise of his jurisdiction will be liable to be dis puted. Independently of these reasons, it may be presumed that the House of Lords will be disposed to entertain such a petition, as involving matters affect ing its own privileges, for if Dr. Hampden's election be not duly confirmed, he has no right to a seat in Lhat House, that right accruing only upon confirma tion, when legally performed.

The supply of Beasts on offer this morning was not to say extensive 111 to number, but at least two-thirds of it was of super itir quality, especially as respects the arri vals from Noi A'olk and Scotland. The prevailing damp weather cause fl the Beef trade to rule heavy, at a decline in the quotati4 ins paid on Monday last of 2d per Sibs, and a total clef ,ranee was not effected. The numbers of foreign stock consisted of 240 Beasts, 190 Sheep, and 54 Calves, in, fair average condition. With Sheep we were again ery scantily supplied, owing to which the Mutton tr id e was firm, at fully the late advance in prices. Pi Ime small Calves were quite as dear; other wise the V, pal trade was dull. Pigs moved off slowly, at but little , alteration in value. Mitch Cows were dull, at from 141 to 171 each, including their small Calf. 4,1:.0 13% 26 111,4 1;Y - 10% 29 3 4 15 1 , - 14% 1% 1274 10% 74 33 3 4 12% 151 A, _ 414 16A, 61A 818T11.9. ----- On the 21st inst., at Richmond, Mrs. William Chapman, of a ■on.
