' l4l ° ll of Vicenza. Whatever injury may have been inflicted, at least as is asserted, upon the Colonial interest—and the West Indians are ever the foremost to complain—it is cer tain that the matter is not likely to be mended by such tinkering and vacillation as will betray other par ties into losses. The most unceasing perseverance, and the most vigilant prudence, will not suffice to pro tect commercial men from heavy sacrifices, if ar rangements deemed to be final one session are dis turbed the next. We cannot better illustrate this position than by one fact within our knowledge, and which might be strengthened no doubt by a score or two of similar cases. A merchant calculating upon the sugar question being set at rest, forwarded to Havannah last year machinery to the amount of about 5,000/, and should even the modified plan of Lord John Russell be carried, and we know that the Protectionists would go much further, the loss upon Havannah sugar received by the party alluded to will be no less than 21. 10s. per ton. No one is satisfied by the alterations proposed, and yet a change is insisted on. The consumers must pay the extra tax, or the supply will be probaby dimi nished, and whether the reduction of duty will ulti mately benefit the West India Colonies is really a matter of doubt, for the East Indies, favoured by abundant labour and an excellent soil, are likely to prove almost as powerful competitors as foreigners. The West Indians say 30s. per cwt. must be obtained to pay them. Now sugar can be grown in some parts of India for Bs. per cwt., manufactured say for 45., shipped for 6s. 6d., and a few years hence will come in at 10s. duty, making a total of 28s. 6d. Can the West Indians do this? If not, we shall be called upon next to protect one colony against another. We are advised in a letter from St. Petersburgh of a further rise in the exchange, viz., to 341 d. and 35d. Tallow, by this advance was 30s. per ton dearer, making an advance of 31. by the two last mails. The shipments going on were large. The steamer from Hamburgh brings about 6,0001. in gold, and the next was to have 10,0001. on board. From Valparaiso, by the Spy, a bullion freight of 2} millions of dollars may be shortly expected. The English Funds have been rather firmer this morn ing, and there has been a steady business doing. Con sols for the opening have been 83} to 84 The speeches delivered by the Ministers at the Mansion-house ban quet on Saturday, have afforded much satisfaction.

The supply of foreign Beasts on offer S to-day was compar a ti ve l y small; that ofbeep and Calvestolerably good, b u t o f very middling quality. With home-fed Beasts our mar k et was heavily supplied, the time of year c ons id ere d , and the general condition of that description of stock was good. Although the at tendance of buyers was somewhat extensive, the Beef trade was excessively dull, at, in some instances, a fur ther decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. However, a few of the very primest Scots sold at 4s per Sibs. At the close of business a large number of Beasts left the market unsold. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,700 Scot, short horns, &c. ; from the western and midland districts, SOO Herefords. runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 5 00 of var i ous b reee d s ; an d f rom Scotland, 340 horned and polled Scots.

Among the curiosities of the evening were pe titions fecen actors that people will not go to hear, praying the Government to restrict the performances of the actors the public will pay, the professed reason being that those actors are foreign. You see the pitch of audacity to which monopoly is coming. You and I are not to spend our half-crown to see somebody that entertains us, because there is a dunce we had rathe r give half-a-crown not to hear, to whom the half-crown would be acceptable. This is part and parcel of the Drury-lane disorderlies, and the re apparition of a race of Englishmen who had been sup posed wrought out. A remarkable circumstance last night, was the way in which the tenants of the mono polist benches abstained from the smallest recognition of their petitioning brethren. They saw the snare ; and not the slightest tokens of truly British feeling would they give. On the same evening a motion for issuing a new writ for Leicester was rejected by 129 to 5. It is astonishing under existing circumstances, with what openness ,and pertinacity the Conservatives defend everything connected with the carrying of elections by money. They have discovered that bribery is forbidden by the law of God, but treating is not ; a parallel to the remark of many practical theologians among the Turks, who observe that wine is forbidden in the Koran, but there is not a word about acquar dente. As if treating was not bribery, with the sins of gluttony and drunkenness to boot. All this must be looked to by the People's Leagues ; and the Leaguers must sharpen one another up to the con sciousness of the absurdity of pretending to prevent the misuse of money at elections, and preserving all the circumstance s by w hi c h the misuse is favoured. It is like pretending to put down foxes, and preserving covers. Another point to which I desire to invite the at tention of the People's Leagues now I am before them, is the following. In my ignorance, I had always supposed that with a view to the prevention of un necessary irritation, it was a rule and etiquette of the House of Commons not to permit allusions to the other House of Parliament. 'Where there are two Houses, there must of necessity be the possibility of coming into collision ; but it was understood this pos sibility was not to be talked about, or at all events not without reason equivalent to the in surmountable. But such an ignoramus was I and perhaps are you, that instead of any etiquette or decency of the kind described being pre served, no opportunity is lost on the Conservative benches, of throwing in the teeth of their opponents in the most wounding manner, every probable mode in which the acts of the other House are to control the proceedings of the Commons. This is pouring sand into the machinery instead of oil. But as it is not we that pour the sand, there is nothing left but to act upon the cards the opponent plays, and point out to any assemblages of the citizens which may be formed for considering the prospects of Reform, the necessity there is for extending their cares to that other House, which is thus made a constant ingre dient in our debates. The Lords not only send men to our benches, but they sit there and threaten through their mouths. Therefore on the next op portunity, vouchsafe a look towards the House of Lords. Consider first, the ways the Lords have of influencing elections, and how these may be cut off; and next, look into the steps by which a liberal Go vernment has the means of bringing the Lords into harmony with popular institutions, and so freeing us from the scandal of having them perpetually thrown in our faces as the bulwark against all Reform. If we had been let alone, there would have been no occa sion for this; but since we cannot be let alone, we must only move. In the proceedings on Report of Public Health Bill, my proposal for substituting the provisions of the Property-tax Act (5 and 6 Victoria c. 32, sec. 73), for dividin g th e ex p ense b e t ween landlord and tenant in a prescribed proportion notwithstanding the ex• istence of contracts entered into without knowledge of the coming circumstances, met with no support. I had hoped that by its long and repeated appearance upon the Parliamentary sheets, some assistance might have gathered round it. If the tenants grumble at having to pay for the landlords' gain, I did what I could to hinder it. On the proposal of a clause on burial-grounds by Mr. G. J. Turner, Mr. Fox (Oldham) objected to the apparent intention of making Dissenters pay to wards new burial-grounds, of which they were to have no use. If I did not make some mistake, an unexpected display of just and liberal feeling took place in consequence. The Member for Sunderland (Mr. Hudson) in particular, was strong in declaring that in his immediate residence (the archiepiscopal city of York) there was every desire to have the assistance of the Dissenters in bringing the question to a termi nation satisfactory to all. The mode in which he proposed to effect it, seemed to be by giving the Dis • senters a part of the ground for themselves. Ido not know how far this may be considered satisfactory by Dissenters, but the proposal on the whole struck me as an instance of the difficulty there is in making a man's political bias overcome his feelings as a good and amiable citizen. The Member for Salford (Mr. Brotherton) objected that the Dissenters would be put off with a corner, and there would be perpetual quarrelling ; on which I am tempted to observe, that the recognition of the equal rights of Dissenters in an Act of Parliament is so great a good, that the Dissen ters would be to blame if they did not put up with the risk of some crowding for their dead, for the sake of the benefit to arise to the living. On Friday was a debate on the Sugar Duties, pre paratory to Monday. Th e w h o l e su bj ect and its connexions are in the strangest imbroglio imaginable. Never was there seen running such a cross sea of conflicting interests,' and such au exemplification of the " strange bedfellows" with which necessity, like misfortune, may make men of hostile opinions acquainted. An energetic Government might push its way through all, and carry along with it the pre ponderant adherence which energy generally obtains. But there is no particular appearance at this moment of the Government's being thus energetic. The neglected elements in the case are—First, that the principles of free trade have got such hold on the universal sense of the community, that it is matter of ridicule to attempt to represent a monopoly as anything but the sacrifice of a definable amount by the nation,—this amount being measurable by the totality of the difference of price paid, minus what may be received by the Government in duty. Secondly, that the West Indians are not a popular but an unpopular body; that they are odious as having long existed upon duties, which is in other words being supported out of the pockets of the community ; as the recipients also of an enormous sum, twenty millions, when the opinion, right or wrong, of great masses of the people was, that they ought rather to have paid for being assisted out of the dangers arising from the volcano of their own making on which they stood. Thirdly, because it is plain at the present moment, that their practical object and li v i ng hope is to effect something equivalent to a restoration of the slave trade from the coast of Africa ; the evidence of which is not in surmise or suspicion, but in their own substantial efforts and speeches in Parliament against the main tenance of th e Af r i can squadron, which on any other hypothesis, would be a squadron acting in support of their interests, as checking the production of sugar by their rivals in Cuba and Brazil. Conceal it as they like, " Fear ye the constable" is written on their acts, and he that runs does not omit to read it. Lastly, the most weighty p o i nt of all, so chivalrously insisted on by Sir Robert Inglis in Friday's debate,--that the people of England are, heart and soul, opposed to slavery in all its forms ; that they view this oppo sition as the legacy of the fathers they remember, and the test of manhood they are to turn over to their posterity; that they will do anything, pay anything, if they only see it is going towards their mark. Talk to them of a penny a pound on sugar ; they would not stop if it was three -halfpence ! There is not one of these points that has not been overlooked by some party to their detriment. The Government has overlooked the truth, so manfully stated by Sir Robert, that the hatred of the British people to slavery is the element which will heave up all before it, and the light which statesmen ought to take for the direction of their views. The free traders have overlooked the fact, that without shrink ing an inch from the avowal that an artificial price of sugar or anything else is so much taken out of the pockets of the nation, and to be written down in pounds shillings and pence ac cordingly, there is a mightier power engaged, a power which would induce the man at Bradford who cannot afford sugar in his tea, to toss up hi s cap and beg to throw his treacle after it, a power which does not reckon by arithmetic but by success, or only values one as it leads down upon the other. The West Indians have missed their way by not entering into a hearty alliance with the anti-slavery spirit of the country, and looking to redeem their fortunes by the suppression of their piratical rivals instead of a junction in the spoil. And the guides and leaders of the anti-slavery power, have lost ground by repudiating human means, and expending their ener gies in pursuance ofopinions which are not the opinions of the great majority, and have never received the stamp of practical sufficiency in any integral political society. The olden peace-man settled his hat upon his head end refused to hold Navy Three per Cents ; but he let the navy take their way in the suppression of piracy and slave-trading, as he consented to live under the, protection of the police on shore, though holding opinions of his own as to the autho rity for not holding the sword in vain. What the country will,,demand is, a strong and statesmanlike course of action directed to the great points in view. If asked if I believe in statesman ship, I reply, Yes, as I believe in seamanship. Neither the one nor the other is certain of success descriptions moved off slowly, but we have no alteration to notice in value. Oats were in good supply. Fine f sound Corn produced late currencies, but the damp and Otherwise weathered parcels were quite 6d per quarter cheaper, with a very inactive demand. A very large quan tity of foreign Beans was brought forward, and which met a heavy inquiry, at a reduction in value of is per quar ter. All kinds of Peas were in moderate supply, and moderate request at last week's prices. Indian Corn and Meal were neglected, but not cheaper. Flour was in better request, but we have no improvement to notice in its value. CURRENCT PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

But both one and the other succeed when anything is done. No man ever fell into tha sea, and, by catching at what he found there, w as conveyed to the antipodes; and equally unreasonable is it to expect to see slavery put down, without using the best human means to effect the purpose. What would conciliate the maximum of adherence from thoughtful men, would be a moderate differential duty to the VTest Indians for a term of years, with notice that after that period, foreign sugars not slave-grown would be admitted to equality. And during that period, all hands should be called on the coast of Africa to destroy the slave trade under the powers of existing treaties, joined to diplomatic exertions to procure the execution of the laws of nations against piracy, and to promote the movements of foreign countries to wards bring their sugars into the desired state of ad missibility. If the Americans talk of equality with the most favoured nation, they must be told that if they will give up slave cultivation when others do, they will have a claim to equal admission. But it they mean to deny the right of England to concede commercial advantages for British objects in return, and force their slave-grown sugar on British mouths, the question had better be settled now, than when they have got the fifty thousand men behind the Horse Guards which they promise. While on this subject, it is impossible to avoid ob serving that the aspect of things is very encouraging for the enemies of slavery. The evidence before the Slave Trade Committee shows an advance in commerce and security on the coast of Africa, strikingly Con• trasted with what I used to witness there forty years ago. A letter has just been published by the Go vernment from the Naval Commander-in-Chief on the coast of Africa, Sir Charles Hotham, urging the recognition of the Black Republic of Liberia, in terms demonstrating that statesmanship is not con fined to land. Of course the publication of such a letter is tantamount to agreement with its recom mendation. The stupid transatlantic theory of the inferiority of the black races, is scouted in every quarter connected with British policy; and a man will soon be accounted as great a blockhead who asks whether a thing shall be done by black citizens or white, as the commander of a cavalry regiment who should ask whether his black or his white horses were intended in an order to charge. Lord John Russell stops the mouths of the West Indian owners with the declaration, that come what will of them, who are only the ni nety - ninth part of the West Indian community, there are eight hthuendmreadssthoofusaaonyd otherdark English who have been raised to a state of comfort greater than is enjoyed by population in the world.

Steam-vessels, which are the cavalry of the sea, are almost the only vessels applicable to the service; which the last letter from the Naval Commander-in-Chief confirms. We have the evidence of naval officers, that a steam-vessel of one gun and fifty men, being something like the smallest of the vessels in which you go from London to Margate, is competent to the object; and consequently vessels of ten guns and a hundred men are waste. The Brazilians are employing steam-vessels in the slave-trade; and if as the last accounts beer out, they are entirely beating even the steamers of the British navy, the British naval departments must find the way to get the upperhand, though they should send midshipmen and shipwrights into the Brazilian service to learn their business. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, June 19, 1848. SPORTING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The racing at Ascot did not lead to the unra velling of any future event; but, on tho contrary, in creased the mystery hanging over the Derby and leading stakes in the womb of time, to such an extent, that the strongest mental lorgnette will, I am afraid, be unable to pierce the veil of fate. Springy Jack's double per formance in the Welcome and Windsor Stakes has ad vanced him in the Leger odds to 3 to 1 takers, while it has improved Surplice's position, which may now be quoted as 6 to 4, and that the outside price. I am of opinion that Springy Jack, in losing the Derby, lost his only chance this year with Surplice, the latter being much better able to stay the Leger course than Elastic John, who will probably find his way home secend in the great northern trial. Flitcatcher's race with The Hero proves that he can get a distance, but I cannot think he stands a chance of beating the Melton and Goodwood cracks. Justice to Ireland, by Birdcatcher, out of Shepherdess, the property of the Duke of Bedford, as a three 3-rs old, is completely dark, and at two yrs he only ran once, fur the Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh, when he beat the Perdita filly, King of Kildare, and nine others, in a can ter. This performance, added to his present condition, shape, and size must make him a dangerous rival for the Goodwood pet. Garrick's running for the New Stakes does not justify his present position in the Derby betting, for which race he stands but little chance. Mr. Green has one who is at least ilbs, better than the crack, and another which will not appear in public this year, but when fully pre pared will be a dangerous customer for the Epsom event. Glauca must be regarded favourably for the Oaks of next year, being a rapidly improving mare. The tryst at Newcastle begins with the Produce Stakes, for which Lovelock or Susan Lovell ought to be thereabouts. The Hotspur Stakes a walk over for Mr. Green. The Tyro Stakes on paper seem destined for Mr. Green with Cigarette or Weston; but I am inclined to place my faith in Lords Eglinton and Zetland, the filly by Don John, belonging to the latter, will be sure to be near the mark. On Wednesday the betting race of the week, the Northumberland Plate, will be decided, and for which a small field only will be brought to the post, probably about fourteen, to be selected from the following:— st lbs Inheritress, aged ...... 8 12 Ad m i n i strator, 4 yrs —6 6' lbsO Chanticleer, 5 yrs ......8 81All's Well, agedyri 66 00 Giselle, 5 yrs .. y Maggs, 4 ....... 7 71S all Vanish, 5 yr 5....... 7 6Pelorai ne , 4 yrs 512 The Widow, aged...... ......7 6lSwiss boy, 3 yrs 5 11 Ulysses, 4 yrs 612 Tom Jolly, 4 yrs 5 9 Executor, 4 yrs, 6 8 Glen Saddel, 3 ..

AT EXPOSION AT PRESTON.—FIVE LITER LosT.—On Saturda rn : morning, a few minutes before nine o'clock, as theyworepeople were about to recom mence work after breakfast, at the Sovereign-mill, in London-road, in this town, the property of Mr. Hollins, the boiler burst, and overthrowing the brick wall on one side of it, scattered the materials, as well as steam and hot water, for a considerable distance, severely injuring several parties who had breakfasted in the engine-house. F the flive died the the same day f rom their injuries. The plates in that gave the undue ressure of steam were at the f urthrendof the boiler, and the im mense volume of steam set at liberty burst through the ceiling, and scattered bricks in the room above. The steam was also forced through the windows of the ware house, at a distance of twenty yards, and the windows of each s tory were completely shattered. Immediately and n the disaster occurring, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Haldan, Mr. dered S p en cer, surgeons, w e re on the spot, and ren prompt assist ance to the sufferers, severa l o f whom were removed to the 'louse of Recovery as soon as their bruises had been dressed. The parties were in the first instance taken to the Rose-bud, and Cheet ham's A b ur ofrms inns, an d to the other houses in the neigh bourhood. The en g i ne, which was a high-pressure one, is twenty-six horse-power. The cause of the accident is not known, but an investigation is being made into the circumstances. The inquest will take place on Monday.

The 25,0001. left to his Lordship by Mrs. Flaherty, of Hammersmith, he generously gave to his brother, Mr. W. Brougham."

The tans fortunate vessel was only launched at Sunderland in the latter part of last year, a gentleman named Collinson being the owner. She took her departure from Graves end in the early part of the spring with a number of passengers, and a cargo of merchandise insured for 70,000/. Her passage across the Atlantic was as favour-. able as could be desired, and she had gained within 70 miles of her destination when the unfortunate event oc curred. It took place on the night of the 11th of Last month, when running along the coast of the Little Fox river ill a gale of wind from the westward. A thick mita! pre veiling prevented observations of the ship's course being taken, in consequence of which she got too close in, and ran ashore on a mass of sunken rocks. She struck vio lently several times, producing the utmost consternation among the passengers and crew. Her masts were cut away, in the hopes it would lighten the vessel and she would float off, but she remained test, and, the weather continuing boisterous, soon beat in her bottom, and she filled with water. The following night an attempt was made by a gang of desperate wreckers to plunder the wreck and the stores, which had been saved and landed on the shore. They came down in large numbers, and the master of the Astoria had to direct his men to fire on them to disperse them : some, it was said, were badly wounded. By the last accounts from the master, it appears there is not the smallest chance of the vessel being saved, and she was immediately expected to go to pieces. FATAL ACCIDENT AT TIIE LIVERPOOL ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—This morning a melancholy accident occurred at these gardens. The stupendous elephant, Raja, the finest animal of the kind in Europe, was chastised by his keeper, Richard Howard, slightly, for some disobedience. The animal immediately resented, and struck his keeper to the gr,,und, crushing him to death afterwards with his foot. This is the second keeper within a few years who has been killed by this elephant, who was generally exceed ingly tractable, and walked about the gardens on gala nights with an Eastern car behind him. The Messrs. Atkins immediately resolved upon destroying the animal, and, for this purpose, two ounces of prussic acid and twenty-five grains of aconite were administered to him in a bun ; but beyond a slight uneasiness for about five minutes, the elephant did not seem to be at all affected by the poison. After waiting three-quarters of an hour, and finding the poison was not likely to take effect, it was deter mined to shoot the animal. A detachment of the 52d, Rifles, who are at present stationed in Liverpool, were sent for, and twelve men having entered the den, they waited and fired. The animal staggered, and leant g nt broken. whei n t o h t e h c e a r ei t a z vd died instantly. The poor man who has lost his life wits agains t fired.

There were also several medical gentlemen in attendance to assist in destroying the animal. The animal cost 8001. eleven years ago, but was worth more than I,OOOL FIRE NEAR GUILMIALL.—ShortIy before six o'clock on Saturday evening a fire broke out in the extensive range of buildings recently known as this Bassishaw-chambers, in Basinghall-street, which closely adjoin the eastern end of Guildhall, and for some Liras placed that ancient structure in danger. The flames, when first discovered, were issuing from the back win dows of the second floor, in the occupation of Messrs. Forestine and Co., German merchants and importers of foreign clocks. Immediately on the outbreak the hose was attached to the tire-mains belonging to the various but although their of water e a t t i t g e i n n d e a - n st e a e ti : on as s brigade, os f pe t e h d e y,andthe &e su . ;pply abun dant, the flames continued to burn with great fury, until the whole of the upper part of the premises in which they originated was gutted, and the adjoining buildings on either side damaged by fire and water. Messrs. Forestine and Co.'. stock is stated to have been extensive, and their loss is estimated at 5,0001. The building is insured in the l'hcenix Fire-office, but it was not known last night in what office the stock is insured. The origin of the fire is believed to have been caused through the flooring of the warerooms being covered with Russia matting, and a number of foreign gentle men having been smoking there in the course of the afternoon. MARyLEBONE VESTRT.-011 Saturday the Rey . . Dr. Spry presided, when the debate upon a petition to Government, to send to the colonies paupers and others out of work was again resumed. Mr. Standford, Mr. H. Wilson, Mr. Joseph, Mr. St. John, Mr. W. Williams, Mr. Ilaikes, and Mr. Glazier having addressed the Vestry, the debate was again pdjQlixnod. ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. The directors and friends of this excellent institution dined together last Saturday evening, at the Freema sons' Tavern, to celebrate its thirty-first anniversary. His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch presided, supported by many noblemen and gentlemen interested in its progress. After the usual loyal toasts, The PRESIDENT, in an excellent speech, proposed the " Caledonian Asylum, and may the offspring of the brave never ►ant a protector." The boys and girls of the school were marched round the room, preceded by Mr. Mackay, her Majesty'a, piper, and the Noble Chairman called on the company to witness their appearance, which certainly reflects the highest credit on the officers of the institution; perhaps they are the finest and healthiest looking children among the many charitable institutions in London. His GRACE, who evidently felt the force of the scene, appealed to the company to testify their satisfaction by contributing to its support. He said that this was an institution unlike most of the same character —superior in its management, and conducted on the best principles of economy, combined with liberality, and altogether above the common order of these institutions; and al though, generally speaking, other charities had their proceedings represented by the powerful aid of the press, still the Caledonian Asylum needed but aa inspection of its fruits to satisfy its subscribers. The toast was received with applause. His Grace then called forward the boys and girls who were to receive medals for merit and good conduct, and in a very feeling address presented them with the pledges of reward, and then called on Captain CHARLES FORBES, as a director, to report more minutely the management and proceedings of the institution. The Gallant Gentleman, who takes a sin cere interest in the welfare of the asylum, said that he would confine himself to the general heads, with a view to place before them the necessity for increased zeal and assistance to this most interesting national institution. In looking at the expenditure of the asylum during the last two years, and the diminution that had taken place in the funded capital of the corporation, which appears to have taken everybody by surprise, it is necessary to take into consideration three most important points: — First, the average number of children and domestics during the last 28 years; secondly, the addition made to that number during the last two years; and thirdly, the increase in the cost of all articles of provision during the last two years. Now, for upwards of twenty years the average cost perhead for an establishment of 90 individuals has been about 181. to 201., or 1,800/. per annum, and with outlay in building about 2,2001. per annum. The addi tion made in the number of children during the past twv years has been 50 female children, and a corresponding increase in the number of officers and servants, maki ng , with the boys already on the establishment, an aggregate of 150 individuals, or an increase of 60! During the last two years it is st matter of history that famine prices have reigned in all articles of provision, and difficulties have been experienced in many institutions to obtain contracts. The average rate per head increased in consequence from 20i. to soh per head, which, upon 150 individuals, gives 4,506/., or upon the sixty extra children and household, a clear increase upon our former expenditure of 1,800/. per annum, for the household, and of 2,8001. upon the gross expenditure in the year. The income of the institution has been, usually derived from the following sources : From donations received at the annual Per annum. dinner, and otherwise, about £4oo to £5OO From annual subscriptions From the Caledonian ball From Stock invested, about .

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The areiva:s of English Wheat and Flour for our merket last week were somewhat on the increase, though by no means large for the time of year. Those of all other articles of home produce were on a limited scale. From Scotland we received a few parcels of Barley, but no grain of any description arrived from irelz•nd. The foreign imports were extensive, viz., 11,248 quarters of Wheat, 23,1 M ditto of Barley, 26,363 ditto of Oats, 12,588 ditto of Beans, 1,495;ditt0 of Peas, 159 ditto of Tares, 3,787 ditto of Linseed, 13 Oitto of Rapeseed, 36 diito of Bran, 139 ditto of Mustard Seed, 850 * ditto of sundry seeds, including Indian Corn, and 1,840 barrels of Flour. Fresh up this morning, the receipts of English Wheat coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, were on a very mo derate scale, and the quantity on offer was comparatively small, owing to which the increased attendance of mil lers (most of whom were short ,of stock), and to the firmness with which the foreign importations were held, the demands for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was steady, at an advance in the quotations realized on Monaay last of from is to 2s per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. The supply of foreign Wheat on show, notwithstanding the liberal importation of that article last week, was by no means large. Se le3t3d parcels moved off :steadily at 2s per quarter more money, while the value of the middling and inferior kinds advancedi quite is per quarter. A few float;uff cargoes were disposed of at a trifle more money. Surce.y any English Barley was brought forward, but the show of foreign samples was very extensive. Fine precis were in moderate request at late rates, but infe rior grinding sorts sold at, in someinstances, a fall of is per quarter, With Malt we were fairly supplied. Mot wool. Last week's imports of Wool into London were com posed of 15 bales from Rotterdam, 54 ditto from St. Petersburgh. 8 ditto from Harnburgh, 1,561 from Ade laide, and 400 ditto from Algoa Bay. The private con tract market is somewhat heavily supplied with all kinds of Wool, and to effect sales further depressed rates must be submitted to, with a very heavy demand. TALLOW. A slightly increased business was transacted in our market to day, at last week's quotations were well sup ported. P. Y. C. on the 'pot is firm, at 44s Gd to 45s per cwt.

Tun POISONING CASES AT BRISTOL.—The Coro ner, in continuing the investigation into the cases of poisoning of Maria Hill, John Bill, and Edward Hill, and it was accord which has created so painful an interest, has deemed it , necessary to issue his warrant to cause the exhumation 1 of a fourth body, that of a Mrs. Michael, who is sus pected to have been a fourth victim, quantity to have . caused ingly exhumed yesterday. The circumstances causing this exhumation arose during th in e w in n q o u s t e ry nn i;o th t e he ar e s ti e u n s i o n of death of the boy John llill, was produced by Mr. Herapatb, the chemist, and sworn to have been quite sufficient in that the surgeon had death. In the course of this inquiry also . it came out of the cause of death upon the information of the father, without having ascertained it from his own observation. The jury having been sworn, and the coroner having given a certificate addressed them, they repaired to the churchyard, where the body was exhumed. It being the first case in England in w hi c h a cor pse has been disinterred for medical examination after such a lapse of years, the greatest interest was manifested, and Dr. Kay, Mr. Hetling, Mr. Humpage, Mr. Smith, Mr. Hawkins, and other members of the faculty were present. The coffin, which was of elm, covered with black cloth, was taken out of the vault in a good state of preservation, and bore on the breast-plate the inscription, " Martha Michael, died 31st October, 1844, aged 64 years." The necessary parts of the body were then selected and deliv ere d to Mr. Herapath, and the inquiry was adjourned.
